Recently bought a xperia z and i need to send him files around 2 gb.
I select a 200 mb press send from wifi direct on my s3 it finds the xperia z. I accept the message on the xperia z
But it doesn't send it it first loads around 3 minutes and than it says that it couldn't send the file
GT-I9300
I have been using this workaround and sharing files through WIFI without connecting to a router. I hope this is helpful to all. I have tested this on Tmobile G1 and a Dev phone.
What you need?
- An Android Phone
- ROOT!
- WIFI Tether for Root Users - link android-wifi-tether - Project Hosting on Google Code
- SDCard WIFI Access - Available on market
What others need?
A Phone with WIFI
Or
Computer with WIFI
This is how you do it.
- Start WIFI Tether and ask the other person to connect to the Adhoc connection.
- This person should show connected to your phone now.
- Open the app SD Card WIFI Access, this will show you two IP addresses. One would be an IP for the Mobile Network and another for your phone. Provide the phone IP address (should be example 192.168.xxx.xxx:8180)
- Ask the person to type the IP address in the browser and ensure they put the port number 8180
- If you followed the steps correctly the person will now see your SD card contents on their phone or the computer browser.
A click on any file will send the file to their phone at >1MBPS
I am trying to conduct a bit of research before starting to develop an android application I am planning. I want the application to exhibit the following behavior:
If connected to WiFi, send and receive messages to remote server.Else If not connected to WiFi, do not send any messages. Display error message.
I am trying to create an ethical application so users will not be charged when they become disconnected from WiFi without them noticing. Any existing source/documentation on how to do this.
am working o a project using my samsung S2 mobile ,,
am collecting data from it's sensors like accelometer and gyro and make some analysis on it on the labview software ,,
my problem is that i need to send these data to the software using the wifi since my laptop does not have a bluetooth card ,, i know how to make it by bluetooth ,, but using the wifi i could only record the data in a data file using the pcremote advance application ,, but i dont know how to read from the mobile to labview software directly just as bluetooth ... i guess there must be a library for labview to read immediately from wifi !
I'm going to make an application for meteor viewers and the goal is, to send soma data from android device to PC through the wifi without router. So on PC will be made a Hotspot and one or more devices can connect to it.Is there any application and/or server on PC or both to make this communication? Or what's the way how to do that? What's protocol of communication?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was sitting in a van/car when my phone fell out of my pants and onto the pavement. It was about a 3 feet fall. At first my phone seemed to be ok. There wasn't any scratches or cracks because it landed flat the screen facing up. But maybe about an hour later a small part of the screen was beginning to become dark. This dark area continued to get bigger after a couple of hours and by the end of the day the screen was completely "blacked out".
And silly me was too ocuppied playing with a guitar I had just bought instead of thinking about backing up or copying my important data from my phone, like pictures and notes etc. So later when I plugged my phone into my computer, I found out that I couldn't access the phones files like I would do on Hardisk taken from i.e. a laptop. When I go to Computer on Windows and look for my phone which is appearing as GT-I9100 as a camera and when I click on it says folder is empty. So I realized that I might not be able to get my data from my phone in case I get a new phone from the dealer.
I'm not very familiar with Android devices but I'm wondering if it's because I have a screen lock password that I can't get to the data on my phone?
PS - I'm thinking this is one those classic examples of, "You should have backed up everything on your phone everyday" scenario. Luckly I have most the pictures on my phone transferred to my computer already.
When you have your WiFi and your 4G on and you are connected to WIFI which one will ur phone use first? Or is your phone actually using both WiFi and 4G? I always thought it was WiFi then 4G if WiFi is unavailable.
DROID RAZR
Mobile phone. I bought it year and a half ago, and have changed operating systems few times (custom roms). Now I have Pristine JB Slim custom ROM, i have installed it 1-2 months ago (cant remember exactly), and everything was okay for first half period, but then it started to crush after mobile data/wifi was turned on.
When I turn on MD/WIFi, its usually okay till 76% of battery, but then screen starts to blink for few seconds and turns off immediately after. When I turn it on again, it turns off again after 1-2 minutes, and sometimes even warns me that i have to charge it cause battery has only few % left (most of time just 1). And I have to charge it again to work normally (well, until it starts to go crazy again )
Before i start to install other roms again. So. Is it faulty battery, bad ROM or something else?
I try to create 'foo/bar.txt' in Android's /data/data/pkg/files directory.
It seems to be a contradiction in docs:
To write to a file, call Context.openFileOutput() with the name and path.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#files
The name of the file to open; can not contain path separators.
[url]
And when I call
this.openFileOutput("foo/bar.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File foo/bar.txt contains a path separator
So how do I create file in subfolder?

I haven't used MMS much. I use Android (CM 7.1) and from what I can tell at least using built-in "Messaging" application one can only send pictures, sound files (AKA "ringtones"), videos and contacts.
Is there a way to send other file types? TXT or PDF for instance? I was able to select "Picture", then use third party file manager to select PDF file but then messaging application said something along "this is not a valid picture file" and rejected it.
In android we can make a call by using intent. Similarly we can invoke receivers on the in coming call. I have implemented an application to make a call as well as to receive call using intents. My question is we can pass data using intents. The same thing if i am apply to my application i got the data as null.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if on an android device there's a way to force it to keep open a wifi connection that is not used for data, for example to a Seagate Goflex Satellite (WiFi HDD) or eye-fi (WiFi SDHC) while also being simultaneously connected to 3G for data. Obviously connecting to 2 wifi connections is out of the question.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am writing a widget on Android 1.6 that shows the minutes that a person has used on the current month.
The way I have it setup is by having a service that listens to the state of the phone and when the phone is picked up, it starts the timer and when the person hangs up, ends a timer. I would like to send this variable(long duration) over to my appWidgetProvider so I could update the edit text on it.
I cant send any files(pictures,mp3 files) through bluetooth.
Can anyone give some solution on how it works?
Intents in Android are an elegant way to pass messages between uncoupled components, but what if you want to send extra data with the Intent? I know you can add various value types, and objects that implement Parcelable, as extras, but this doesn't really cater for sending user defined types locally (i.e. not over a remote interface). Any ideas?

View 7 Replies View RelatedThese days I try and try to send data(stream) from an Android-Mobile to a PC VIA USB cable,
I made it good that a socket("10.0.2.2", 6543) on the android emulator sending data stream to a ServerSocket(6543) On a PC , before which I had run "adb forward tcp:12345 tcp:6543".
But when I setup a socket("10.0.2.2", 6543) on a REAL Android-Mobile and a serverSocket on the PC, the socket on the Android-Mobile can NOT send data to the ServerSocket on the PC.
Why can't I use the socket on the Android-Mobile to send data to the ServerSocket(6543) on the PC. What is the different between the REAL device and the android emulator. Or , is the IP setted to be wrong? How can I get the IP of the PC VIA USB ADB?
On the other hand, I make it out to send data from a PC to a REAL Android-Mobile as socket and serverSocket.
I don't how to do this task.using the getpath() method i can get the path of the database.In the Terminal Emulator using commends i can see the database file which contains the queries what i have executed,that file is saved in the emulator memory.How can i access that file from an anroid application.

amazing no priority on this while MIUI has had this for over a year or longer..see all the messages (also many xda threads that ended in 4-5 responses each because no one had the answer)
[URL]...
If one has unlimited data and does not care about battery, then I understand why this would be low priority (or not doing mms much because of cost)..
Trying to make Tasker automatically open and populate Astrid todo's task edit fields the way that so many other apps can using the Share menu. With pretty much any app being able to do this using Share, I figured it wouldn't be too hard to make Tasker do the same, but I'm having trouble finding out how.
I'm using the beta of Tasker so Send Intent replaces the previous two intent actions. The fields available are Action, Category, Mime Type, Extra, Package, Class, and Target. Right now Package is set to com.timsu.astrid and Class to com.todoroo.astrid.activity.TaskEditActivity, which manages to open the task edit screen. That intent is however from the Astrid widget so I don't know if that's even the right thing to use if doing this via the Share ability.
Often times "like aboard an airplane" there's someone you want to talk with, but can't, because they're in a different seat. Is there any app that would allow people to:
a) send messages to other Android phones via bluetooth
b) sent messages by connecting to a common wifi network (yet not connected to the internet)
c) create an ad-hoc network and send messages that way.
Would any of those be feasible at all?
Could someone please tell me why when im sat at home with a wireless network my usage according to netcounter is climbing all the time...not worried when im on wifi...but what about when im on mobile network?...is it background data?..surely you can switch background data off and manually refresh when you need to? how do i turn background data off?
