Is there a way that I can communicate with my laptop wireless as if it were plugged in with the usb? I already have estrongs file explorer and adb wireless, but those seem to go through the router. Is there a way to do the same thing without a router, like, if I'm not on my network? Is it maybe doable through bluetooth?
The INC supports BT OBEX FTP, so you should be able to at least access the MicroSD card via Bluetooth from your PC.
When I run Wireless Tether, then I connect with Adb Wireless. I use adb connect 192.168.2.254:5555, and then all of my other adb commands work fine.

I ran wireless tether and then Adb wireless but Adb tells me to turn on wifi or it wont work. It says to connect to 0.0.0.0:5555
Go to the marketplace and grab the app "Bluetooth File Transfer." Works quite well if your pc supports bluetooth. Also great if you want to transfer files between two android phones.
doesnt froyo have bluetooth file transfer built in? i thought i saw something somewhere.
SwiFTP
Take a look at SwiFTP. Not bt, but another wireless option.

I can pair my phone up to my computer using bluetooth, but my computer won't see my phone as an option when i try to create a personal area network.
My computer sees my buddy's nexus one just fine and his works great for tethering via bluetooth..
anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
I tire of having to go under my table to plug a usb cable to the back and connect it to my phone. What would be the best route to have my phone connect to my computer wireless for data transfers?
ES File Explorer App can connect to LAN devices.
Make a shared folder on your computer, and put files to transfer in that folder.
Open up ES File Explorer on the phone then copy and paste over.
I use Wifi File Explorer,it's free in the Market.

I like FTP server. Simple and you can mount in windows
SwiFTP
Set up your phone as a wireless FTP server
Wireless tether + SwiFTP FTW!
I enable the tether, connect wirelessly, check ipconfig for the gateway, boom, that's the 'phones ip'. Enable FTP server, FireFTP thank you very much, boom CONNECTED. Browsing files & whatnot.
Love being rooted!
just be sure to turn off ftp when you're done cause you dont want to go around with that running all the time.
Another option is using Dropbox. It's in the market. Very cool app.
Is there any way I can transfer a file from my desire on froyo to my netbook, without usb cable or wireless router? I was thinking maybe it could be done through hotspot somehow.
What about Dropbox?
But the file is over 100mb. So yes I could upload it to dropbox and then tether my laptop and download it. But it would be a painfully long task. What's adhoc? Is that what I need? Can that be done on the desire?
doesn't your netbook have a card reader? or you can use Bluetooth but it's drain your battery really really quickly.
Try the free app called connectify (be sure to get the latest version) . It will make your notebook as a hotspot and you can connect to it va wifi from your phone. Then you can use one of the numerous wifi file transfer programs to transfer files.
Connect with wireless tether.
Install adb over wifi on phone.
adb connect 192.168.43.1
adb pull /sdcard/file.xxx
Or
Connect with wireless tether
Use filemanager on phone to browse to windows share, then copy from phone.
Or
Create a samba share on your phone and browse to it from PC.
I've not tried filesharing over hotspot on windows but I don't see why it wont work as long as you add it as a trusted network and have sharing on.
Im looking into purchasing EasyTether Pro for the fact that I can tether to my 360. But I came up with an idea and that's where my question comes in. As a alternative, what if I get a cheap Android phone, no activation, download the app on it, would I be able to connect the phone to my WiFi at home then tether it to my 360 for internet?
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
Unless you already have an unactivated cell phone, why couldn't you just purchase a wifi adapter for $50? If you do have an unactivated phone, just install the free version to test as an access point. You don't necessarily have to test the 360 connection (only available with the paid EasyTether version) to see if it would theoretically work.
Eventually ill get the real adapter but I can get some cheap Android phones for like $15. I'm looking just for the time being.
I just never used any kind of usb tether before.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
According to this link (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...2862-using-de-activated-droid-ipod-touch.html) deactivated phones should work, but not sure about a fresh phone. If it is a used phone, you should be able to still use as like an ipod touch.
Nice just another way I can screw over Microsoft and support android all at the same time
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
I have an activated evo and just tested as follows:
1. turned off mobile networks
2. turned on wifi
3. connected via usb to laptop
4. turned on usb tethering
5. let laptop do its thing (setup adapter)
6. tested internet and voila
I am posting this through that tether.
Naturally, I had used the wireless tether (not usb) to access the mobile net, but not go through my local wifi router. I wanted to verify that it worked. I did try to use the wireless tether (link to laptop) WITH the wifi connection (link to wifi router) and it did NOT work. Hope this helps...

So basically the idea won't work because you can't tether through the WiFi, only your mobile data?

Sorry for the confusion. I can connect to my wifi router when using the usb tether connected directly to my laptop. If I disconnect the usb tether and try to do wireless all around, it won't work. In your case, you can't do wireless between the 360 and phone otherwise you could just connect directly to your wifi router.
In your situation, use usb tether to connect the 360 to the phone and then use your wireless connection to connect to the wifi router. You don't even need easytether since the usb tether and wifi are both standard features. If you currently have an evo, you should be able to try it now. I'm not sure about the network drivers for the 360, but you can test it without any cost.
Ahhh ok I got it. I'll defiantly try it after work tonight and post results. I wast sure if the regulations usb tether option would work. I just said EasyTether because it says that you can do it.
I'm not a Mik.....but my EVO is!
The easytether is required only if your phone doesn't have the usb tether app. If you have an evo, usb tether is already available. I did further research and apparently the 360 cannot accommodate the usb drivers required for the network. The only option is to go through the RJ45 and use a laptop/desktop as a bridge. So without a 360 wifi adapter, you would have the following:
360 to laptop/desktop via RJ45 (might need a crossover cable, not a standard RJ45 cable)
laptop/desktop to phone via USB
phone to wifi router via wifi function

I was able to successfully run through this setup, but seems like a lot of hassle and the throughput/bandwidth is not great. Probably too slow for realtime gaming.
Wow then its really not worth it. I'll just stop being cheap and find a wireless adapter. I guess its the least I can do seeing their so nice to me about my 360 and hast banned me, ha. Thank for the help, I'm on the xda app right now but when I make to the pc ill be sure to hit the thanks button

Hi everyone. OK so I've seen a lot op apps for android to control your PC, like Unified Remote. But every app I've seen requires the user to connect both the phone and the pc to a wireless router.
I want to be able to access my pc DIRECTLY through my phone using my Wifi adapter that is plugged into my PC, and control it that way.
I don't want to connect my pc to the wifi router before I can control it.
Does anyone know how to do this; and is it ever possible to do this???
As another case.. Do you like to use USB instead WiFi? Or Bluetooth?
It is to simple for words:
1. go to wifi
2. go to wifi-hotspot
3. enable it
4. go to your pc and look for HTC Portable Hotspot
Simpler way..... only PC and smartphone that's all

You should be connected to internet from your computer and phone through your Wifi Adapter. If both PC and phone are connected to internet, you can access your PC from phone using various applications such as TeamViewer, unified remote etc.
Also, if you would like to have remote access between computers, you can use various remote support services such as gosupportnow, logmeinrescue etc.
