Using SMB Module with Astro

Anybody able to tell me how to use the SMB module with Astro? I cannot find anywhere in the application to connect to my computer. I've looked through the documentation too, with no luck. I've got both Astro and the SMB module installed.
I've emailed the developers, but no response yet.
Thanks for any help.

If you drag the row that contains "Home" to the left, "Network" is all the way on the right. Tap "Network" then tap "New".

Thanks! I had seen that screen, but when I clicked on the WiFi symbol (thinking it would create a new share connection), all it does is take you to WiFi settings. Of course, I wasn't smart enough to click on the "New" button.

It would be wonderful to have a few screen shots and a bit of discussion on how to actually get this running.
I tried what I thought would work and the system hung in a wait loop.

means your phone can't connect to the computer, have you verified that it works on a pc?
-edit- make sure your wifi is turned on

WiFi is on, and I can ping the EVO from the PC.
I've confirmed that the shared folder can be seen from another PC.
I am wondering if invalid payload size is a clue?
Are there any Windows 7 issues I should be aware of?

It could be a permissions issue. In the screenshots I provided, I'm using an admin share. What do the permissions look like on your shared folder?

bah, i have the same error, i can ping np, i can access my shares from any other comp in home, but get payload error on the phone.

Have you tested with an admin share?

Same error for me: payload 405
Using a windows 7 box and an admin share. Finds the ip addy of the pc using only the hostname, but it most be getting a bad response from the PC.
Anybody find a solution?
Too add the windows box shares the directory with 2 xbox's in the house and shares the printer with 4 laptops...

same error for me "Invalid payload size: 405" !!
Please fix this. I have checked my share is working properly and on a second PC. As well as works on ES File explorer but i dont like that app.
EDIT: phone - HTC Desire, 2.1-update1

I have a smb server running on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. I got it up and running after finding the advanced settings. On my captivate, when in the smb setup dialog pressing the phones menu button brings up an advanced settings tab. You get two options, key and value. I set key to "Workgroup", and value to my workgroup. Back in the previous settings dialog i have only filled in Label, Server (used IP address), User Name, and Password. Works like a charm now. Hope this helps

I wanted to connect to my SMB shares on my Mac running Snow Leopard OS X, and while other PCs could see the windows shares just fine, on my Android phone with the Astro SMB module I kept getting Invalid payload size: 254. To solve the problem, while in the connection profile editor, I pushed Menu and chose Advanced. Then I created a new property and key:
jcifs.smb.client.useExtendedSecurity = false
Once I added this, I was able to connect to all of my Mac samba shares just fine!

Thanks bro, that fixed my prob i was having, i now have another problem, When trying to view files on the network say example a photo i get the following "file type jpg not found" the same goes for any other file i get "file type ***** not found" any idea how to fix that?

I have a STRATO HiDrive (which basically is an online harddisk that supports several protocols such as SMB, SFTP, WebDAV etc). I tried connecting to the drive (cifs.hidrive.strato.com) using my username and password, but to no avail:
UnknownHostException: cifs.hidrive.strato.com
It works fine using my computer, though. I also tried switching off extended security as you described earlier, but that didn't work either.
Another program, FileExpert, connects just fine but is really slow and hangs while reading the share's folders.
So I tried SFTP, which connects but then returns a "StringOutOfBoundsException". Dunno if they're related, I'm basically trying to solve the SMB problem.
Any clues?

I not find Astro smb module on market.
Anybody have the apk?
Thansk.

Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant

Heya,
Unfortunately android, to be precisely wpa_supplicant does not show ad-hoc networks, the following modified wpa_supplicant shows them, haven't seen it before so I posted it .
all credits go to szym (http://szym.net/android/adhoc-wpa-supp.html)
The patch below modifies the wpa_supplicant code in the external/wpa_supplicant AOSP repo to make ad-hoc networks appear as regular APs with a (*) prefix.
The patch:
* removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,
* masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix
* sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS
* permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid

patch: http://szym.net/android/wpa_supplicant-ibss.patch
The only thing I did was to apply the patch compile it for froyo and supply a signed update zip with the modified wpa_supplicant, work was done by szym.
Flash the attached wpa_adhoc-signed.zip in recovery and your done .
a3e00f284ddff04804ba8d59364712b1 wpa_adhoc-signed.zip (v0.5.11)
Works with:
- Froyo/Eclair roms on HTC Hero (confirmed)
- roms using wpa_supplicant v0.5.x
Attention:
- It _seems_ like some rom using wpa_supplicant v0.6.x do not work! take care (e.g HTC Desire). Please report back.

Always do a nandroid backup!!

Downloaded and will have a try. It will be great if it works. Thanks.
The hero can detect the ad-hoc mode with a (*)before the name. It can be connected but can't access the internet. My laptop can access internet through this ad-hoc wifi. Didn't know why?

It works! Beautiful. I used my old G1 to make an ad-hoc wireless network and my Desire saw it right away and connected without any problem. See my signature for the ROM I'm using (if it really matters).

Would anyone provide "ad-hoc support in wep" in a signed update zip? Thanks.

it is already look at the first post.

The patch didn't work for me at first. I got "Error" while trying to turn my wi-fi on.
But when I restored the original /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini and /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf back in the phone, it started detecting ad-hoc networks.
So the patch worked after all.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
Did not work after I rebooted my phone.

Hi all, I just got my SGS yesterday. How can I flash this patch. I renamed file to update.zip, downloaded into my SGS /sdcard, and used ABD to install the update.zip. However it gave me a waring 'Installation Aborted'' . I may just doing something wrong here. ...any suggestion? Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot, works on Magic 32b but only for non password protected connections
Able to see the connections on Desire, but unable to connect, gets stuck on Obtaining IP adress.....
Running on Cyanogen 6.0.0 RC1 on Magic, and LeeDroid 1.8c on Desire

will this work on a stock rooted 2.1 Vibrant??
Just flash via ROM Manager?

Did the update and now my wifi wont turn on. You can actually watch it on settings screen turn and off. It is stuck in this loop and eventually comes up with a force close!
Anyone have any ideas?

So will this let me ad-hoc to my netbook which is also wfi-tethered to the phone?

the update zip is only for froyo!!

[Q] USB Internet passthrough from Linux

Hi, I've googled and searched the forum for this and can't find anything that works for the Desire HD.
The phone comes with an option to use the PC's internet connection through the usb interface. When I enable this on the phone the usb0 interface pops up on the computer. I've tried various bridging and natting alternatives, but everything ends up with the phone complaining that htc sync isn't set up right. I've tried askimng HTC what the phone expects but they just say that they don't support Linux. Grrr!
Anybody succeeded in getting this working or can say exactly what the phone expects to see on the pc side?

I thought it was the other way around (PC using the phone's connection) ?
Edit: Link.

Both are possible. PC using phone's connection is called "Tethering" and Phone using PC's connection is called "Internet passthrough".
There are recipes for foolong a "Nexus One" into reversing the tethering solution so that it connects to the internet through the PC, but the HD seems to have blocked this.
We have a Wifi-Free home, so this really is the only way of connecting the phone to the internet without using valuable 3G data traffic.

Apologies, I didn't know.
I took a look around, maybe you've tried this already but here it is (scroll down to post #53). Good luck!

Thanks. Looks promising. From Post #53 it looks as if I should be able to do this from adb, although earlier posts in the thread mention busybox and root, neither of which I have on the phone. Have in any case not used adb to connect before so may ask for help here if I can't find out how to do it.
Thanks very much for the suggestion.

For root you can search for the app "Visionary" in the market, I'm not sure if it installs busybox too though (but you can find that in the market as well).
Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in the settings.
You're most probably going to need the ADB drivers as well, but i think they're shipped with HTC Sync. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, now have adb access (with root . Next problem is that my linux box always assigns an APIPA (zeroconf) address to the usb interface. Can't remove it or specify a static IP for the next connection.

Unfortunately I can't help you or suggest anything else for the time being. I'll be switching to Archlinux tonight (for the 150th time) and will hopefully have my device within this week. So if you don't figure it out by then, I'll give it a shot.

I think it can be done quite easily using the Firestarter application. Too busy playing Black Ops to confirm that the method I have in mind works but I will try it out later and if I'm right I will post a how to.

I'd be very interested to hear how you get on phunkycow. The APIPA problem seems to be debian sid related. On my wife's Ubuntu laptop I can configure both interfaces and ping between the phone and the pc. Didn't have time to figure out routing and dns.

I now have this working on Ubuntu. Debian still gives me a zeroconf address on the pc's usb interface.
Next problem is that to script this as suggested in post #53 I think I need a different su or sudo on the phone as sudo and su -c both give me permission denied.
Any other ways of running remote commands as root using adb?

Working perfectly on Ubuntu when I run through the commands interactively. Next job is to script it. The only possible caveat is that I seem to have to run the adb commands as root, however a quick test indicates that this is probably doable just by piping each adb shell command to su.
Will post back with the findings and the script (when I'm happy with it).

Piping to su doesn't work unfortunately, so I need to think again.
Any tips on scripting adb shell commands to run as root?

Another problem (after setting this up interactively) is that only some apps even attempt to connect to the internet this way.
Web browser shows error about not being able to connect first time, but then connects anyway. Ditto Google earth.
Phone update refuses to connect and asks for wifi or mobile network to be turned on.
Skype can't sign in.
I'm wondering whether some apps look for a particular property to be set and refuse to connect if it's not there??
A hot candidate might be [init.svc.netsharing_pass]???
Any comments?

Hi,
I installed bash and su from su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip, which I moved to /system/bin
which su shows that that's what's being used.
I was hoping that this would give me the possibility to run su with switches (ie su -c "command"), and only use adb to invoke a script on the phone with the rest of the commands. Unfortunately fails on both counts :-(
Does anyone know of other su utilities out there that are more like the Linux version?
Cheers!

The answer seems to be gscript.
Phone side commands can be scripted to run on the phone, requires manually finding and running the script from the phone's UI.
Now if there were a way to invoke it through adb ... !

hi Learnincurve,
can you please briefly post, what you did to use the internet-passthrough? i cant figure it out with my desire z...
thanks!

m1l4droid, you are using the internet passthrough with ubuntu just like that? what am I doing wrong...?

Hello everyone.. I can see that the thread hasn't been updated for some time.. but still, has anyone founded an easy way to use "internet pass-through" option on linux? I have read the thread, but I am not very familiar with the terms "adb" etc. I am using Desire HD rom (InsertCoin HD Port 1.8f), on an "small" Desire... And the linux edition is Ubuntu 10.10... Thanx in advance..

wouldnt you be able to access an ad-hoc wifi network with your custom rom? so the only thing for you to do was to setup the ad-hoc wifi at the pc and connect with your phone...
for the usb-passthrough I still dont have a solution, neither.

[Q] Verizon HTC Incredible

Hi, I'm trying to remove all those annoying pre-loaded aps that VZW put on my phone. I attempted to run the unrevoked3 root + flash thingy and it got hung up part way through - phone still works, and the phone IS rooted. I installed a terminal emulator and saw that all the pre-loaded aps only have "R" access which is why I cannot remove them.
I've tried using "chmod -r 777 <program>" and I get a "failed" message. I've tried the simple "rm /system/app/amazon*" and it tells me it's a read-only file (still). Can anyone help me? I've got some experience with linux and command line, but am still not very good with it and this is my first time attempting to root/hack my phone.
I've got the HTC Incredible running the latest 2.3 gingerbread.

Try to get BUsy Box and see if you have super user access, cuz since you said it hung up half way, chances are your phone did not root completely

Im pretty sure it has been rooted. I downloaded an emulator and when I type "su" the command line goes $->#. Someone else had this similar problem but they wanted to install a different ROM and I just want to remove useless aps. That being said I wasn't able to make any use out of his solution.

I should also point out that a super user icon is now in my aps window. I open it and its just a black screen, possibly because I haven't given anything root access yet?

try installing rom manager from the app store and see if it ask you for permission

Ok, I installed that, but it didn't ask me for permission...is there something I have to adjust in the April itself?

if it didnt ask for permission, that means your phone is not rooted, as Clockwork recovery needs permission to use, reroot? or ask in the incredible forum?

Yeah, guess I'll try to reroot. Not sure why the unrevoked3 root didn't work. Will try and post any details about failed tasks during the root process.
Thanks

I've seen this thread before and since forgot about it. Thanks for posting it. I assume in order to do what they say in the thread (meaning run the adb shell), you need to root your phone
?

Sorry for taking so long to report back...busy time of year!
As it turns out, my phone actually WAS rooted despite running into the previously posted comments. I was attempting to start over and in doing so, downloaded SDK, JDK and proceeded to mount my phone using adb. All I had to do was reboot my phone in recovery mode and then mount /system. Voila! I have since moved all the useless bloat to a disabled folder...
My next question is this: How do I enable tethering and mobile hotspot?
Thanks for your help.

Wireless tether for root users is a pretty baller app. I show it off once in a while at work when someone flashes their ipad around. The speed is solid.

Is that the name of the ap? Or how can I enable it? I've been told that the pre-loaded mobile hotspot still will not for rooted phones and you need to download a 3rd party ap?

Just searched the "wireless tether" in the market and found it...it says it requires "Netfilter-enabled kernel" What's that mean? I'm still running the stock ROM (2.3 gingerbread). I don't know that I want to run a new ROM....

I downloaded and installed both "wireless tether" and "barnacle" just to try out both. I can view my mobile hotspot on other devices, and I can even connect them to my phone. On the iPhone (4g), I can get what appears to be everything but youtube. On my laptop I can't get any internet signal...
In either tethering ap, I cannot view who/what is connected (i.e. my laptop or iPhone). Any ideas? Are there limitations to these aps?

I have Barnacle for my Wi-Fi tether and it tells me who is connected to my phone (there should be a "Clients" tab). Do you have any encryption enabled?

I password protected my wireless hotspot and then used both the iPhone and laptop to connect to it, once they connected I tried viewing who was connected to my hotspot in both barnacle and the wireless tether and neither of them would say another device is connected.

GPS DEAD

I am on FlexReaper, changed my server to Austria via FastGPS, using WiFi, have a clear view to the sky for more than 25min....I have tried everything!
The saddest thing is that my A100 does not see even a single satellite! Is there a manual way to reinstall the GPSs driver or check if it is faulty?
Please help me, I am desperate!

You should have posted this in the FlexReaper thread it is one thread above. Or the general section.

Have you tried the GPS fix? I had to reinstall it manually after I did a reset. it's just an lto.dat file that goes into /data/gps IIRC. Also GPS status is an app that is included with Flexreaper it can be useful to see what is going on with your GPS reception.
This link has the info
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636757
and has eww245 said if you are able to you should post this kind of stuff into the Flexreaper thread.

Sorry for the wrong place! Could you remove or move it?
As I have already installed RF1 and the patch is included then I have no luck with it as well. Could you please tell me how to manually do it? There is nothing clear in the theme you have posted and I am NO pro!
Thank you

I have downloaded first the patch but it said errr already patched? Then I have downloaded and copied the lto.dat file.
Still NOT even a single satelite!
Should I make resets,formats?

Did you reboot the device after putting the ito.dat file into /data/gps? Mine went from almost never getting a sync up when using Navigator app to always working(still takes a min or two when I first enable GPS) but then it works like a charm. In fact the battery on my old Nuvi w200 finally gave out on me so I'm using my tablet as navigator all the time now.( still need to find/make a good mount for it) and does GPS status show any satalites? Also GPS Status(the app) also has some features inside the menu that will reset some stuff that might help. GL wish I had more things to suggest. If non of this works I'm guessing you may have a harware issue with your GPS, but I don't have enough info to be sure of that.

Is "Use Internal GPS" selected under "Settings > Location services"? I don't know how, but last time I flashed a rom it wasn't selected, nothing was, so when I tried to use the GPS it would obviously fail.
Don't know how common that is, but sometimes stupid little things like that can give us the worst headaches.

Sure, What I did was look inside /data/gps on the tablet and I didnt see ito.dat. So I extracted the ito.dat out of the Flexreaper ROM .zip. You will find the file inside data/gps within the .zip file also. Take this file and copy it to /data/gps on the tablet. This can be done via root explorer, script manager etc, or via a terminal.
Assuming you extract the ito.zip from the .zip and place it into a micro sdcard and the root of the card, the following command would work to copy it via terminal emulator.
su
cp /mnt/external_sd/ito.dat /data/gps/ito.dat
It may or may not fix what ever issue you are having but it's worth a try and easy enough to do.

If you are on latest flex-A100-reaper , type in terminal.
Su (enter) gps-update( enter) and this will update your lto file for gps.
Normally it is done automaticly.
But all this information is in OP of flrexreaper.

If this does not help, try the following:
1. Install Terminal emulator for tablet
2. Turn off the GPS on the tablet: Settings -> Location services -> GPS satellite - uncheck
3. In the terminal the following commands:
Code:
su
echo 254 >/sys/EcControl/GPSPower
4. Turn on the GPS, Google's location service and WiFi on the tablet. Wait 5-10 minutes for the GPS data updates on the tablet (most likely it will be much faster).
Following these operations my tablet finds satellites within 10 seconds after turning on.
