Anyone have an app to transfer to and from the phone via wifi which works faster than USB 2.0? I tried wifi explorer pro and airdroid but they were pretty slow :/
Try remote desktop (for Chrome) and for Android device!
that works fine for me, but I don't know is it faster than USB 2.0.
Try Airdroid.

Check out FileExpert. It's great for transferring over Wifi.
I have used ESFile Explorer to connect android to shares on my Ubuntu machine. It is not faster than USB, but is easy to setup and will do the trick. You can find it in the Play Market.

I can't figure out how to transfer over wifi without using web which doesn't help much since it bounces the file out of my local wifi and then back in (which is slow since my isp capped my upload at .7Mb/s)
Airdroid only works if your phone and computer is on the same network.

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.
I don't know how to transfer a file over WiFi.

How to setup a computer to work with that app?
I'm very basic about WiFi things.
Help me.
Install the app on your phone, when you open it, it will set itself up and give you an HTTP:// address to put in your browser. Then you have access to your SD card through your web browser

+1 on that app. Using it, too. Easy as can be.
Please Explain More.
It does not setup itself.
Connect to your wifi network. Run app. In your browser type the adress given by the app. done.
How to setup a WiFI Network on my computer?
I'm using XP.
Google.
2. You do not connect directly to your PC, the app uses a WiFI AP (your router).
So PC & phone connected to the router, and it's done.
Also make sure your phone is connected to your wifi

One Doubt:
is Internet Connection need to setup a WiFi Network on computer?
No. Not needed.
One times all Worked well.
Then i connected for second time,It saying "Obtainig Ip Address."
What problem?
First i connected using this settings.
Ad-Hoc
Frequency Band:Forgot.
Ch:10
Frequency Band what should i use?
802.11g
or
802.11b
hi, use 802.11b, i think desire'wifi can't support 802.11g
Supports b/g. Patch and custom kernel needed for n.
Download this app from Market: websharing.
Thanks to all.
Now all working well.
Using File Expert(free version).
Hi. The best one. U can even use cfis to mount the file sharing from your comp. and access it through /mnt/cifs.

Hi All,
Having a little issue with the app called "Wifi File Transfer". As we all know that GNex can't do UMS. Alternative I see on XDA forum is use wifi transfer program, and some recommended using Wifi File Transfer.
Issue is, it seems that my GNex can't connect properly. I typed "192.168.1.x:1234" into the browser, and it failed to connect. Then I checked the IP address (eg. 192.168.1.27), and try to ping the GNex's IP from a PC, it can't locate...
Do any of you have this issue? Does the GNex's LAN IP need to be ping-able (not sure if this is a word but u get the idea) for Wifi File Transfer to work?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance!
Maybe a stupid question but, your phone and computer are on the same network right? The app works fine for me.

personally i prefere samba (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba) it allows you to add your phone as a network drive on windows so you can xfer files over wifi like its a drive on your computer..
Found the culprit... its my FIOS router. After restarting the router, Wifi File Transfer works just fine.

I have very slow LAN transfer speeds over WiFi to my Windows 7 shared folders.
Using AndroidSMB client, I get a max of 500KB/s yet on WIFI WAN I get speed tests in the 30Mbit/s range.
I've had speeds of under 1MB/s before on my other devices, which makes me believe I likely have issues with my router settings and or how my Windows 7 shares are setup.
The Windows 7 computer is connected via Gbit LAN, and I have my whole drive shared with permissions only via a certain account.
What should I be looking at to improve my LAN transfer speeds on my Galaxy Nexus?
Any kind of help guys? I can't get more than 300KB/s on my LAN transfers
I've been using Samba Filesharing app from Playstore. Lets you set up a Samba fileserver on your gnex. Works with WiFi hotspot, so you don't even need your LAN. You can connect with Windows Explorer after assigning the sdcard as a network drive. All Explorer functions work normally, unlike MTP. I measured the xfer rate at about 2 megabytes/s via WiFi hotspot connection. Works beautifully for generally accessing files on your sdcard with Explorer.
I am having a problem tethering my laptop and my desktop computer to my Galaxy Nexus ever since I installed the 4.2 update. My Nexus 7 tablet does not seem to have any issues connecting.
My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T60-2007 which has an Atheros 42T0825 wifi chip. It used to connect to the Android 4.1 Galaxy Nexus hotspot without any problems under Win XP. Immediately following upgrading the Galaxy Nexus to Android 4.2 the laptop had problems. The laptop would connect to the tethering wifi hotspot, but would not be able to browse the internet (or in a few rare circumstances, would browse extremely slowly with frequent errors that would prevent web pages from loading).
I tried a factory reset on the Galaxy Nexus (which still left the phone at android 4.2), and there was no change in behavior.
I tried removing the wifi password and running the hotspot as an 'open network' and there was no change in behavior.
I tried a Windows XP reinstall on the laptop (to Windows XP SP3) and there was no change in behavior.
I replaced the wifi card (with and identical model) and there was no change in behavior
As a last resort (and because the laptop needed it), I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a new SSD and put in additional 2 GB of RAM.
Now although the laptop can still see the hotspot, it cannot connect to it. Even though the correct password is typed at the prompt, it gives a 'Network Security Key mismatch' error and will not connect. The laptop can connect to the hotspot if it is set as 'open', but will not connect to any sites or web pages (i.e. same problem as before with Win XP).
The laptop *does* work with the Galaxy Nexus via USB tethering, which suggests that there is some kind of wifi issue, but the laptop connects to my home wifi network (Linksys E3000 running stock firmware) just fine.
My desktop computer (running Windows 7) exhibits the same behavior as the laptop under Windows 7.
I was able to get a Macbook and a Dell Latitude laptop to connect to the wifi hotspot and successfully browse the internet (I will have to look up the model numbers later).
I am writing to try to find out whether anyone has noticed any similar problems/incompatibilities and whether anyone might know the causes.
Is there a problem with the b/g/n connectivity of my laptop? Did the wifi hotspot b/g/n configuration on Android change with the 4.2 update? Might a bad install of android 4.2 on my phone be to blame? Maybe there is a problem with g or n protocols? Which does the 4.2 hotspot use?
Thanks in advance
same problem with me

The inability to either create a mobile hotspot and connect to it is why I went back to stock rooted 4.1.1. I have tried Muzzy and AOKP and could not create and connect to a hotspot using native tethering or Wifi Tether. It has been a while since I checked the forums, but did not see a solution that helped me
PS - I was trying to tether mobile devices not laptops though
My issue resolved on its own...!! Don't know how..!! but now I can use WiFi tether and also reverse tethering too..!! Reverse tethering is really too handy thanks to xda members for making awesome apps.

I have not been able to get any form of wifi AP to work since flashing over to 10.1 CM. it turns on the AP and I can get wifi to link but can't get an IP and any kind of connectivity to the internet... so far, I haven't been able to find any help for the issue but I'll keep reading!
this was after a wipe data & cache install of 10.1.
