Hello all.
Is it possible to remotely browse wireless storage of HTC One from a (win 7) pc using only wifi?
I have a Xperia Z1 as work phone and it has option (Xperia connectivity -> Wireless media transfer) to remotely browse phone/sd storage as long as both phone and PC are connected to same wifi network. (Without installing any special software!)
Anything like that possibly on HTC?

Is there anyway to access internet on the HTC if you just have a PC connected to internet ?
using WM5 it's possible using active sync, but after i upgraded to WM6 it's not possible..
any clues ?
upgrade activsync
well....i downloaded the active sync from internet..
my IE on the desktop is using a proxy.. not sure if i need to configure something on the phone.
thanks for the reply
Is Active Sync required?
My nephew doesn't have AS installed (doesn't have a WM phone) and I wanted to be able to conect to the net without having to remember to taked an AS disk with me.
it's possible using wifi and routing the wifi from the pc to the isp
otherwise it's not possible
The only way how i know is whit bluetooth
Whenever I travel I take a bit of internet with me so I can use it in emergencies.
Another way to access the "computer's" internet over your phone is to use internet sharing from the laptop and create an ad hock wireless network between the laptop and the phone. That works great for me in places where there is no wireless but wired internet.
Check out this link if you would like to learn how to setup Ad Hoc Internet Sharing.
I can access the Internet whenever I have the HTC connected through my PC via USB and ActivSync.
Accessing the internet normally engages the GPRS data path, but with the USB to the PC (assuming the PC is connected to the 'net) it connects without engaging GPRS and routes through the PC.
It works on Vista and XP without any problems.
Another neat trick is using the HTC to allow me to access the Internet from my laptop when I'm away from the Office i.e. HTC -> USB -> Laptop -> IE Browser -> Internet. By using 'Internet Sharing' in programs folder.

hi, i have my diamond connected to my wi-fi router and it surfs ok (if a little slow). from the pc i tried adding a wireless device to my network (currently just my router and pc) but it wouldnt find the diamond. should i be able to see the diamond from the pc? i just want to transfer files between the two. ps the pc has vista and is connected by ethernet to the wireless router.
thanks, kristian
There might be an easier (native) way, but I use Resco Explorer 2008 on the Diamond - it can see SMB/Samba shares hence allowing me to access my network fileshares. As the Diamond is the client it needs to do all the work (i.e. I cannot browse the Diamond from my other machines).

I am trying to access the folder that I shared in the bluetooth options on my laptop via bluetooth. I have vista, on the Tilt, i checked the FTP option and on the PC, I pointed to the directory that I want to be visible with bluetooth devices.
I cannot seem to connect to it or find any info regarding the matter...
Is this even possible?
I simply want to share my "My Music" folder so that I can see it on the tilt while connected via bluetooth and transfer music to my tilt via blutooth without having to use my PC via the drag and drop method.
Thanks
Hello all.
I have googled, searched xda and tried all to get internet sharing to work, via usb, but fail all the time. It is supposed to just work but does'nt. For me.
Any help please?
regards
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
choose my network or whatever the native network profile is called
rather then my isp or whatever your isp profile is called
should mean that when your phone is connected to activesync
or vista's sync tool
it gets the same network as the computer you're connected to
make sure you have synced your x1 with the activesync software that comes with it then try it make sure you got signal aswell cuz it will not connect without. i use vista and it connected fine it just added another network to the ones i could connect to and obvusly it was the phone so i saved it that way when i plug it in it works straight the way. hopefully this helped
just plug it in and start internet sharing on your x1
Probably want to check your PC network status>>properties>>Advanced and check on "Allow other network users to connect...."
And go to X1 settings>connections>usb to pc and clear(if any) check mark on the 'enable adv network' if having problems.
Are you trying to connect your PC to the Internet through your phone or your phone to the internet via your PC?
doesnt necessarily belong here but since people are reading this thread - how can I do the following:
My laptop is connected to landline broadband connection via cable. Now I want to start a wireless network on my computer and let my xperia connect to. When connected to the laptop ... I want the xperia to be able to use the laptops internet access as well be able to access files that I have given network permission to e.g. movies for example.
There has got to be a way of doing this. So far all i can do is create a wireless network and let my xperia connect to it .. however nothing happens after that .. I cannot access files nor the internet on my xperia
so anybody an idea how to do this ?
thanks
I think you might need a Wireless Access Point for this, although I could be wrong. I have personally never tried it, as I haven't played around with peer to peer wireless networks.
I have an Access Point at home connected to the DSL, my laptop and my X1 both connect to it and access the internet, and that works perfectly.
Sorry I am not of much help.
just create an ad hoc connection on your pc it will appear on the network list on the xperia in the properties of the ad hoc connection tick share internet or something similar
Sharing internet connection with x1
Hello guys! I need to connect my X1 via USB with my notebbok, to share the WiFi connection. The problem is that my X1 has an IP with 192.168.1.102 Ip, (From wireless), but when I connect it via USB to my PC its tooks an IP with 162.85.2.2 Ip Address.
I configured it manually, but still wont navigate trouth internet.
So I don't know hoy to configure my connection to have the same IP range with my phone from my PC.
I searched all over XDA forums, but I didn't find anything-
Please somebody can hel me please?
Regards!
Charly!
Active sync issues the IP when connected via the usb cable, leave it as it is. (ie my home wireless network for the laptop / pc / xbox etc is 192.168.0.xxx but the phone when connected to the laptop is 169.254.2.x and active sync does the routing or something). Then do what the others said about allowing the phone ot connect to the internet via active sync and it should work.

hey....i using SE x1i
I need to help for to connect mobile with laptop. No one pc suite are working, when i connect via USB cable i getting error of "your USB not recognize" I tried with various PC suite but nt getting success..My Laptop OS wind8 Plz help me any one....
Sorry I really need to ask. I have been trying in vain to bluetooth files from my laptop to my X1 (R3AA). As of now, my phone can send (or beam) files via bluetooth to my laptop, but not receive anything at all.
Unlike my P1i, the Bluetooth services available for the X1 (showing up on my laptop) does not include the "file transfer service" that was used for exploring the phone's memory stick via bluetooth a la all the other six older Sony ericsson phones that I've previously owned...
I've already:
(i) Checked the allowing incoming beams box in "settings"
(ii) Installed Obex Inbox (but I think that simply is to allow incoming bluetooth beams to get stored in your storage card instead of device)
Is there anything else I haven't done? I right click on my laptop the file after pairing with my X1 and when I hit "send via bluetooth", basically nothing happens. Man, even my old t610i didn't have problems with bluetooth receiving...
it works for me bro.
start > settings > bt > mode > check both boxes! > ok
this will make X1 "visible" for your laptop.
BR!

Hmmm... my X1 works well too. Do you have a custom ROM? in case, which one?
so, you select the file, send to, X1 and nothing happen on the screen of your laptop? if so, it is a laptop problem, not X1 problem.
If it would have been an X1 problem, you would have seen a progression bar saying "discovering services available on X1" and then disappearing because of your mentioned X1 problem.
I'll be waiting for your answers to help you!

Not sure about why your bluetooth is not receiving, but you can make your laptop access your memory stick as a normal folder to browse the files.
Follow these steps.
1. Make sure you have activesync installed on your laptop.
2. Go to activesync on your phone and select connect via bluetooth.
This should establish a activesync connection thro bluetooth, similar to what you get thro a USB connection.

Hmm. doesn't work here,
Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center.
Any clue?
hmm, next time you connect your phone thro usb, let it connect completely to windows mobile device center, then go to Mobile device setttings, and click on connection settings.
Make sure the check box "Allow connections from one of the following" is checked, and "Bluetooth" is selected from the list. I hope this works. Fingers crossed.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies, which help steer me in the correct direction. It seems Activesync is responsible for "unlocking" the bluetooth functions (I kid you not). Finally solved it. This is how I did it (based on advice given):
1. Checked all boxes in Bluetooth options in settings: visibility/bluetooth on/authentication passkey required
2. X1 was already paired up with my laptop
3. Connected to my laptop via USB and activesync loaded automatically
4. Opened up "My Bluetooth Places", which is the program that comes with installation of the Bluesoleil program on my laptop
5. Heard a beep on my X1 for the first time when I did this (this was the first time I was connected on USB via activesync AND activating bluetooth AND accessing the bluetooth places folder) - I think this was what activated it in the end - sorry if i'm not explaining it too well here, but it did the trick
Note: Not sure if a few more options popped up in "My Bluetooth places" folder I don't recall seeing bluetooth messaging/contacts there previously. My OS is XP home, using the default R3A rom.
6. I could transfer files via bluetooth already from my laptop to X1...
*I still haven't been able to manage to get within the file directory tree using bluetooth, bharat4ever, which program (and bluetooth service) might I ask did you use to do that?*
Additional thingys: I think it's important to use a proper software for bluetooth file transfers - Bluesoleil is much better imo than that standard Widcomm (oldish as well) program that came default with my laptop.
I was also wondering if I could transfer multiple files via bluetooth and seems like resco explorer can do the trick, though folders can't be sent via bluetooth - tho the contents inside them will.
