Mounting the EVO as a wireless drive on a PC?

Anyone know how I would go about mounting my EVO's sdcard on a pc wirelessly? Thanks.

bluetooth?
lol, yes that is a question

Bluetooth File Transfer from the Market works well for me, although obviously your PC has to have Bluetooth as well. I bought a cheap Bluetooth dongle for my laptop.

I just use dropbox. drop the file you want on your dropbox folder then go to your phone, find that then download it and your good

Drop box is a necessity that or sugar sync basically same thing. I use it for all my side loaded apps so they are always ready when I flash a new rom.

why not use a2sd? (apps 2 sd)

Ive tried most of the solutions mentioned. I'm particularly looking to be able to access my EVOs sdcard either through a mounted drive or windows share wirelessly. Its important I can access it in this fashion because I work on computers all day and would like to be able to carry my drivers collection around with me. Its nice to be able to just point a machine to a drive share load the appropriate drivers. FTP, Dropbox and WebDAV solutions just to make this process efficient for me.
EStrongs File Browser is nice how it can browse PCs on the same subnet but I would like to do the same except browse my phones storage from the PC side via a share.

If you used something like dropbox you wouldn't need to use your phone at all just load up your dropbox with all of them and then just log on to the dropbox website on the computer you need the drivers.
I would think that anything that would make so you could wirelessly push files from your evo to a computer, would require a program or driver installed or a Bluetooth dongle, and that would take most of the point of away
you can always just carry around a usb cable and do it that way.

do a bluetooth file transfer, that usually works for me

try android desktop it is a small websserver on your phone it allows you to access your phone through the pc web browser. free from ao store. Blue tooth is fairly slow on large files. with the desktop you should be able to use the wifi or 3 g.

Help....want to stream video from PC to N7

I want to be able to stream varies video files (avi, mkv, etc) to my N7 from my PC while away from home. Tried looking to see if this was already talked about but couldn't see anything.
Tried Plex however unsuccessful in setting it up? Any links or suggestions or best app's or tutorial on setting this up? UPnP/DLNA or FTP (old school way)? Plex or BubbleUPnP or something else?
FYI....running Windows 7 x64 at home. Have N7 connected to my i9100 most of the time. Have newer Netgear WNDR3700-100NAS Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router at home. Also my N7 is not rooted.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried orb or playon?

Have you tried VLC, or XBMC?

If you enable file sharing you can use es file explorer and dice player to stream from your PC but it has to be on the same network. I've been watching movies this way since I got my nexus and it works great. There's no lag or having to wait for buffer.

You should just go download qloud video server and then thank me after... I guarantee its exactly what you're looking for... easy to setup and works perfect ... seriously don't know why more people don't recommend this!

Best solution to the OPs question is Plex
Or dice VPN

Dice player will play videos over a shared folder.

Did you try Zumocast?

I'd say Plex too, don't really like Orb's interface, but if the OP was having issues setting up Plex (a very easy process in my experience) I would think that they will have similar issues with any other service.

Does Subsonic handle video? If so, Subsonic = instant win... I use it for music. Couldn't ask for much more than what Subsonic offers.
Note: It's free for basic use, but for mobile use you need to donate a few bucks to unlock a key to use it with mobile devices as well. I donated like 15 bucks. EASILY worth it. I hook up my N7 to some 2.0 speakers on my deck and stream from my server downstairs.

I use BSplayer stream video from NAS

i dunno about App, but the old school way is indeed the easiest way. set up FTP server in ur PC, open and forward FTP port from your router, use ES File Explorer to add the WAN IP address as FTP server.
of course, 2 issues:
- if u got Dynamic IP (standard home cable/satellite broadband) then u need to update it every now and then
- i cant guarantee it can "stream" if using a FTP setup.
the alternative is of course using ur router, setup a Virtual server, and share the windows machine. if u set it up securely and use the correct ports, then it could be the better solution. but im not sure how to configure it with Netgear.

Dice player have built in
Smb , ftp , http support with external sub files.
No rooting is required.

Plex is fairly simple to setup. Need to make sure you UPnP on your router, if not then set the default port in the firewall on the router for the app. After you install, launch your browser or right click the icon in the task tray. Web address is http://computerIP:32400/manage. You will then tell it where your TV, Movies, Pictures, and Music folder is and let it sit for awhile depending so it can gather all the metadata.
I have been using Plex for over a year now and it just keeps getting better. I use it on all my devices when I am out and use Plex Media on my desktop connected to the TV or stream to xbox on my office TV.
Also create an account with plex forums and you can use it to log in in the web GUI and it will make it easier to connect to your N7 while out of the house.
If you have other question on setting it up, PM me and I'll try my best to help out.

I set this up yesterday and it works beautifully. It's supposed to be for Motorola phones but you can get a patched version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276410
Get the Patched-Rotation file
Setup is as easy as making an account and logging in to it on your PC and device. You also have to download the PC software from the zumocast site. I've tested this away from home and it works great. Streams videos, music, and basically opens any file up (like documents, pictures..etc)

Plex is best...

Ps3 media server/universal media server->mediahouse->dice or MX player and your good to go

never mind I forgot you mention away from home

[Q] Transferring Large Files Between Phones??

Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!

You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.

Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???

You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.

Transferring Music and Movies to Nexus 7 2

Very Frustrated in transferring Music and Movies to the Nexus 7 2 from my PC and from Itunes.
Can someone steer me to a thread that describes how to do this step by step. I have had little luck in figuring out how to transfer to the N7 from my Windows 7 PC do to the stupidity of only having MTP protocol.
I am hesitant to buy Doubletwist Airsync but would pay for it after confirming it would work........

Maybe an alternative would help?
I don't use itunes to sync my music. I use SyncR and it works perfectly. For movies, I use ftpCafe to download movies since i have an FTP server running on my home machine. I connect through local LAN and the speed is blazing fast. If you don't have FTP, you could use ES File Explorer to browse a network share and download that way too.
Hope it helps.

if you don't mind doing it wirelessly, I use WifiDroid which lets me upload using a web interface on my PC.

Personally, I'm using USB sticks to transfer files via usb-otg cable (~5 bucks). If your rom respectively kernel doesn't support (format of) USB stick (eg. exFat), flashing custom kernel such as ElementalX and apks such as stickmount or usb-otg helper (my recommendation) will do the job. Works great for me..

I can use my N7 like a hard drive....i dont get what you mean...

[Q] Perfect Multimedia center?? torrents are the last piece of the puzzle

hi guys!
I was a backer for OUYA project because I wanted to replace a chinese device I bouhgt long time ago. Basically that device had a mini linux on it with a transmission client running as a service. It was possible to conect via web to the client and add torrent files into it. very easy but the fallback was that the device often got stuck, it was not able to manage several downloads at once...so I heard about OUYA!!
An android console that it will let install any APK. immediately I saw the opportunity of replacing my chinese device....until here my story.
Now with my OUYA, on top of the games, I run XMBC to see the movies that I downloaded using aTorrent Pro or uTorrent, both sideloaded without any issue. For the subtitles I use Subtitle Droid Pro. Everything kind of works, the three apps are not really prepared for the ouya controller but you can use the touch area to control them. but in order to look for a movie becomes a nightmare typing with the screen keyboard using the controller... and this is exactly the step I would like to improve if possible. Basically the steps will be the following.
Turn on the OUYA and run the torrent client with web interface
take my laptop, look for the torrent files
upload them using the web interface
OUYA downloads them in peace and quiet.
Did someone find a solution for that?
Thanks a lot in advance.
J

have you tried Blue Board?
install it on ouya from the play-store and your android-phone from the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmantech.blue_board_tablet&hl=de
then you can use your phone as keyboard for the ouya.

nice solution but it doesnt seem to work for me. I have a new Nexus 7 .
I first set buetooth in ouya to be discoverable and I paired the two devices succesfully.
But when I try to connect to it it always says:
Unable to connect:read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read set -1
do you have any idea what could be the issue?
thanks!

You can use something like droidmote client/server or a bluetooth keyboard as the logitech dinovo mini.

hey, working on that too!
just mounted my 3tb with paragon's ntfs tool! works like a charm!
xbmc gotham alpha8 for dts playback.
and u should use the mobile xbmc remote for some options!
now working on samba share for the 3tb and the transmisson solution with working webinterface!
cheers

I use this: OUYA in StockPlus (for the Cifs support) + Mount Manager (play store) + Time Capsule 3T + MELE f 10 pro control ($30) + uTorrent

I posted the reply below on the thread about the file server.
In addition to below you could have your remote downloads automatically transfer over FTP to the OUYA using GoodSync (google it).
In essence you would remotely start your torrents to download onto a PC, then goodsync would send those files to your OUYA USB drive.
Personally i don't do this because I like to rname and clean up the downloads first before putting them in my library.
I've tried nearly all the set-ups above but the one I find most reliable uses ES File Explorer. No need for root or anything else.
Sideload ES File Explorer
Open ES File Explorer
Go to Remote Manager, under tools
Go to Settings (for remote manager)
Turn off 'Close on exit'
Set root directory as your external USB drive connected to the OUYA
Exit settings, and turn on WLAN
I then use an Filezilla to transfer all my downloaded files from my Desktop directly to the correct folder locations on the USB drive connected to the OUYA. I get really solid speeds on the transfer between the two devices.
I can then leave the OUYA in XBMC mode, while being able to transfer any downloads very quickly to the USB drive whenever I want.
Note: I found this worked best when OUYA was connected via wi-fi. Ethernet was problematic

Oi, i kno this is old, but you can actually download the magnet link .torrent archive instead of running it, then upload them to dropbox and open them from your ouya, that way you can do it
