Hi all,
I've been using a carputer for some time now, but recently i find myself using my touch cruise more than anything else. It hooks up through BT and handles GPS and music without issues.
The only downside is the limited storage capacity it has compared to a full blown computer. (I have an 8gig SDHC)
Is there any way to enlarge this.
- I've been thinking about a NAS, but I'm unsure about the workings of this.
- AFAIK USB on the go is not supported, nor is USB host
- BT is another option, but is just way to slow for data transfer.
Any options ?
tia,
John
Maybe Network Folder Plugin will help you. It should mount a samba (windows shared) folder.
Can i connect to a NAS through this plugin?
If not, it kind of defeats the point to run a full blown computer in the car just to have file storage. Especially since I come from a carputer
well what are you storing file wise, several companies including Microsoft have storage available for mobile devices. windows live share, I use virtual mobile fore photos content etc.. sofar no mp3 support but it has some use and is free for the time being. There are several boxes out there that support usb host. maxtor or Buffalo make one I believe for dumping photos and music on the go.
Is there a program to enable transferring files from PC to defy such as Windows Mobile Device Center does it with WM devices.
there are several way
1. the official way, if you connect your phone and pc with usb cable, there will be a web interface appeared. you can operate your phone by means of it. only IE support file transfer.
2. wifi. you can install a software such as ipmsg to transfer file. some software can share file, such as afile and so on.
3. bluetooth. you should install a software named bluetooth file transfer and enable obex file transfer service, then you can transfer files.
maybe there is more way to transfer file, I am searching.
Media link available on motorola.
Dropbox (wireless)
Or awesome drop. (Wireless)
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app
The official way (Phone Portal) works via wifi too. No need for USB.
I really like the official usb-media function.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
DLNA? Been using it to pull files off my computer, my son's and my Buffalo Link Station.
Thanks very much for your replies, I am now able to transfer files to Defy.

is there no build-in, easy peasy was to use BT for file transfer without installing a software like "bluetooth file transfer"? why is my phone telling me that a device is paired but "not connected" or how can I "connect"?
motorola's encrypted bootload is a bit annoying, but its retarded handling of USB connections is simply unacceptable. adding the apparent "difficulties" with bluetooth connections makes me wonder if I will ever buy a motorola device again ...
After the porting of Bluetooth in Mobile Phones, data transferring has become really easy; just turn on the Bluetooth, Pair with other device and share the data while doing other stuff. You can even connect a Headset to listen to music using Bluetooth and in these hours of technology, Bluetooth is even available in all of the devices and with fast transferring speed too. However, when it comes to an Apple device, simply an iPhone, things are a lot more different.
Apple devices have Bluetooth ported in them, but it can only be used for connecting Bluetooth devices, not for ‘Transferring data’. So, if you have an Android device and you want to transfer data to an iPhone, you can’t just except to transfer data using Bluetooth. However, Wi-Fi can be used to do such a thing, all you need is to download an Application and start transferring.

How To Transfer Media Between Android and iPhone
Open App stores on both the devices, and Downlaod Photo Sync.
Android version is free with Ads, while on iOS you need to pay $2.99.
Make Sure both the devices are connected to the same Network.
Open the app and Select the Photos and Videos.
Once you have selected them all, Tap the Red Sync Button on the Top.
After that Choose the Transfer mode, in this case it is Phone/Tablet.
The app will then search for the nearby devices with Photo Sync installed on them.
Now all that left is to tap the device to which you want to share with and Transfer the files.
If by any chance App does not search for devices automatically, you can configure the IP manually.
The Files will be transfered via Wi-Fi connectivity, hence noticeably faster than Bluetooth.

bump is an easier way to transfer
Maybe ShareIT is the best.
I'm using SHAREIt and it works very fine with me
Also I have another app name Software Data Cable and I'm using this one to transfer from & TO PC efficiently
You can also use Picxer. It works similar to a messenger but sends the pictures in full quality. And they are automatically saved in gallery. Works well for me

I know I have to mount the external sd card as mass storage device so it is recognized by the car audio.
But some folders and artists /albums are visible in the car audio and some others are not.
But I do not know how to put them on the sd card so the car audio will always see them.
The file explorer in the phone sees them without any problem.
In the car I cannot see them whether I search on artist or just do a directory search.
Is it possible the audio codec of some of these files (although they are named with the .mp3 extension) is different than mpeg layer3 format? Or... maybe some of the filenames on the sdcard are longer than a certain length? (i.e. maybe the car deck has a path/filename character limit that it can read?). I suppose it could be many things.
I have seen mass storage mode not work very effectively on Sony devices (ZL, T) when connected to PC. It would list maybe half of the files that exist in a folder (maybe it times out or gives up?). Have you tried connecting via mass storage to a PC and verify that files aren't shown there either?
Hello guys. So I am trying to connect my A70 to my iMac. I use Android File Transfer. It worked with my old S5.
So because A70 uses the type C usb cable end to end, I have to use a type C to to type A generic adaptor and a type A generic cable end to end to connect to my iMac. My 2012 Imac does not have usb 3.0. I already did the usb debugging and usb config on developer's option, rebooted the phone, still Android File Transfer does not detect A70. It only charges the phone.
Appreciate any help/response. Thanks!
Set up a wifi transfer?
Download an app on your phone that sets up an ftp:// type of link.
And then on your apple create a new network location with that ftp:// that the app created. Then from your apple computer, you can browse through your phones files and folders and you'll be able to copy things from or unto your phone's folders. Presuming your computer and your phone are both connected to the same wifi server. (Eg, your home's wifi.)
One app that I have on my A70 is the Wifi File Transfer app by "Villacat", although many identical apps exist too. This is just the one that I happened to find.

There are file transfer apps that make use of a paid http:// sort of webpage location too. But those are ripoffs. You have to pay for the bandwidth or storage. Or pay to transfer files that are larger than a few MB's.
Thank you so much! I'll try this, while I'm waiting for an original samsung cable c to a for android file transfer, and will
see if an original cable will work.

The absolute easiest way to transfer files from an android phone to a computer is to install the app File Commander. It has built-in pc transfer and all you have to do is open your browser on your pc with the ip adress from the app. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, best solution I have found without the hassle of using USB cables.
Es file explorer and enter shares in your computer with it, i used this method for years
Also consider otg cable, i have one worked perfectly to write to flash drived then to computer
