General :: File Access From Locked Down Win XP Machine
Sep 17, 2012
The situation is this: at work the computers are heavily locked down. By that I mean that you can not download and install anything, no cd rom access and no usb access. they run win xp (some of you may be too young to have heard of this)
I have recently discovered, however, that when i plug my galaxy s3 in, the pc sees it as a digital camera, and i can access every folder on the internal sd card through windows explorer. i can then transfer any file i like to the computer This never happened on my g note, nexus s, or any other device.
Now, I can only confirm that the above works on xpower 2.5 ics custom rom. when I changed to hypergalaxy jb rom, there was no access to my phone via the pc.
how and why this works, and how i might use a hack to enable any usb device on such a locked down pc?

My activity needs to communicate with a java server located on my dev machine. Actually, using the emulator, I can access the server socket via the special 10.0.2.2 address. Now I'd like to test my app on my phone connected via usb, but it seems like I can't use 10.0.2.2 to access my dev machine localhost anymore. Naturally using a wifi router and a proper lan addressing does the trick, but I need to use usb connection instead. Any hint ?
1. Emulator-based scenario: standard java server running on my pc @localhost:15000 android java client running on my emulator. When the android app needs to contact the server it uses 10.0.2.2:15000 like specified here. Everything works fine.
2. Proper wifi scenario with physical connected device: standard java server running on my pc @192.168.1.10:15000. android java client running on my device with 192.168.1.11 address assigned. When the android app needs to contact the server it uses 192.168.1.10:15000 and everything works fine too.
3. Desired scenario: standard java server running on my pc @localhost:15000. android java client running on my device connected via usb cable. No network is active. When the android app needs to contact the server it tries to connect to 10.0.2.2:15000 but instead an exception is thrown (Network unreachable). It seems like special address 10.0.2.2 works only for emulator instances. I just wonder if in the adb/adt suite there's a way to access pc address from the device connected via usb cable.

I just got X10 with Android. Unlike the blackberry that I used to own I cannot access the microSD card from my linux machine. It detects it but does not open it for file transfers. I replaced the microSD card with the one I had in Blackberry and the phone accepetd it and was able to find all the media files on it. However the linux desktop (Fedora 12) still could not access it. Note this is the same SD card that I used in BB and all the files there were transferred using this linux machine before. Is it something in SE X10 that is blocking this.

Let's say you don't have internet access at the moment. Let's say all you have is fresh install of CyanogenMod 9, which for some reason, does not come with a File Manager :
Let's say you have an apk file on your SD card. How would you install the apk file? Terminal emulator, using which commands or another way?
By the way, ASTRO File Manager vs. ES File Explorer, which one and why?

Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?

I would like to access a web service provided by one of the machines on my LAN from the android emulator.
If the service was running on the same machine where the emulator is running (called host), I could add a network redirection and access the 10.0.2.2 (host loopback interface in the emulator) with the correct port.
However it is running on another machine on the LAN. I guess I could add another redirection on the host additionally to the above one (would have to fight with iptables though ... ), but does a more simple solution exist ?

What are the risks when using USB power on airplanes...is there anyway to block USB file access (on an att sgs2 if it matters)
I was able to use Gmail (and only Gmail - no web, no twitter, etc.) before purchasing a Gogo license. How was this possible? Is Gmail so encrypted the airline couldn't figure out what it was?

My objective is to create a text file in an android file system.
Using java language, I am creating an app. It has a screen with a table of 3columns. Each time a user enters the table row and click on Submit button, the row entry should be created as a separate comma-separated file on an android device. So each time when the table gets updated with new entry and clicks a submit button, a new file is getting created on the device file system. So I am looking for the file connectivity to the internal device memory where I could open the files and access it.
I have done the same in Nokia mobiles using J2ME. But for Android, I am not able to find the device file path.

I have a sony ericsson X10, it has a security pattern lock on the phone. However this has gone off in my pocket and now the phone is locked. I can not remember the google email address for the phone and now i can not access the phone. Orange customer service has told me to get in touch with google, in order to delete the old account [whatever that may be] but there is no number for google customer service.

I wrote simple server on android with NDK, which will work on port 8888 on android emulator, but i can't connect to it from my client on the host machine.
I added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> in manifest.
I tried to make redirection with telnet:
telnet localhost 5554
redir add tcp:6666:8888
Here code of server:
#include <string.h>
#include <jni.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
[code].....

I purchased a AOSON M60 fabbed at foxconn a couple of weeks back, it claims to be pre-Rooted. From Item Description: "The machine has obtained permanent ROOT privileges, a great convenience to the user management system software and remove unwanted software."
I have tested this with the Root checker app and it fails reporting that the device isn't rooted. I have checked this with Titanium Backup and it also reports it's not rooted.
When i have checked this with SuperOneClick v 3.2.2 it says:
Checking if rooted... CheckIfRooted 0.14s True
Checking for shell root... CheckIfShellRooted 0.15s False
The application then stopps at Shell rooting device...-Step #7 WaitForDevice (This never completes)
From my simple understanding, the shell rooting is a one shot thing per boot, and isn't required if the device reports back that rooted=true.

I am not able to understand one simple issue.. if there is no root access to file system even to the user who owns the phone then why on earth would the dev guide include commands like
adb push <local> sdcard .... when the sdcard of emulator is read only.. Is this some kind of mockery or sarcasm with the users?

Ok just got my EVO yesterday. This is not only my first android phone, but my first smart phone as well. I'm fairly savvy when it comes to computers and techy stuff, but I do have what sounds like a ridiculous question. I bluetoothed some files (songs and pictures) from my old phone to my EVO. It acknowledged getting them and indeed I was able to play them from the notification area after receiving them. However, now I cannot find anyplace to 'browse' the phone folders or the SD card folders so I can find and utilize these files. How do you access the SD card or the file system?
