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.

[Q] Wifi File Transfer can't connect Galaxy Nexus and Computer

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.

[Q] How to allow mobile data when connected to no-internet wifi network?

Hello.
At work we have wifi network that has no interent, I use that network to transfer files from phone to computer, however whenever I connect to that network my phone looses interent connection too, because wifi become the only active network.
Is there a way allow 3g/4g network while connected to wifi?
Thank you.
P.S.
Using rooted stock rom.
Nope. One or the other

Sorry, but I can't believe that.
On Windows, for example, you can specify order, priority, of the adapters at which system will use to connect to the interent. It has to be something similar in Linux/Android...

[Q] Application which allow me to download files from pc over wifi

So, i want to transfer files from my pc to the phone using phone as file explorer of the PC. I've seen tons of apps which will allow me to transfer files via wifi but using COMPUTER to send files, not android. I've thought about setting up ftp server on my pc BUT it would use the connection speed of my current internet provider, not the wifi connection directly from the phone to the PC. Does such app even exist?

am no expert but airdroid might be what ur lookin for
FTP will not use your Internet connection...

Use S3's wifi for my laptop?

I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the S3s wifi connection for a laptop. Not tethering using 3g
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean like this:
Wifi Hotspot > S3 > Laptop
?
If you do, you could use CWM tether (its usb tethering) or Wifi tether for root users (works if your phone is connected to Wifi but some people have had issues with that, I have not)
Kinda like ad-hoc but having it emit from the phone

Let me see....
You have someone Wi-Fi key stored in your phone, and want to share it to your laptop?
Try with Bluetooth, or in Play "Wi-Fi key recovery"
Also you can clone your phone mac address.
Sent from my O=O
Tethering is using 3G. There's no other way to share data. Are you rooted?
Yeah...what he said...because if its wifi to phone to laptop then you might as well connect to the wifi directly right? Idk, I still dont really understand what you're trying to do
One of my laptops doesn't have a 5Ghz network card and since my phone can connect to that band, I was wondering if there was an ad-hoc like thing for android.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'm still not understanding what you want to do. Why don't you just connect to the network from your laptop and leave the phone out of the process?
This phone can not emit WiFi and use WiFi at the same time. Does that answer your question?
Alright it answers my question
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Ahh ok, I've done that before on an OG evo AND evo shift, so it is possible...now whether it would work on this phone, I' don't know, some people have had issues but look around and try all the apps you can find to see if they will do the trick
I used wifi tether for root users v2.2/v2.1 (can't remember which one it was) and it worked flawlessly, just a lot of battery drain but thats to be expected
You can use your WiFi and tether at the same time?
I can USB Tether WiFi (like a network adapter), but I've never been able to tether my WiFi connection.
I'm currently having issue with my Wifi Tethering with the TrevEMod. it keeps saying "What the hell...." i've searched thru the forums and tried all the fixes and it still disconnects. Any word on this?
