Use Explorer free & it is /storage/usbdisk 111
It does not show in notifications like on the X.
Yours is just com.Qualcomm, no settings in the name.
Make Explorer your new filer for handling all OTG, uploads & etc.
Edit: Many report they do not need this & works as is.

Hello all!
First of all, I have to say that the Desire is to me, a wonderful piece of equipment. I really liked unboxing it, setting it up and fiddeling with its functions, however there are a couple of things that quirck me.
I would very much like to be able to map a networkdrive from my home server (Debian Lenny via SAMBA) or from my laptop (Windows 7 professional). I know I can use EStrongs File Explorer or Astro File Manager to access these locations and copy files to the phone, but this is not the approach I would like to use. I would prefer to stream them. Is this possible at the moment, and if so, what software will make this possible. Preferably without rooting the device.
I currently also own a Nokia N900 where I use Wizard Mounter (to mount my SAMBA shares) and KMplayer (a graphical frontend for mplayer) to play my videos. Can this be so hard to replicate on the Android platform?
On a sidenote; Is there any way to adjust the wireless properties to increase power to recieve a better signal from my wifi. This can also be done on my N900 (at the cost of poorer batterfy of course).
regards
bjoheg

WiFi file explorer - search for that in the market and let me know if that's what ur looking for.

That's the other way round, I think he'd like to stream media from his Linux box to his phone.
Handy looking app though
While there are plenty of useful threads out there pointing out various apps, I haven't found one that listed the kinds of apps that someone who works in IT like me might find useful, hence this thread.
Hopefully others can add.
1/
ABBY Business Card Reader - A nice app to take a picture of a business card, them import it into contacts. - It is NOT 100% accurate, it DOES require user input to make corrections, but even so, it is worth the money.
2/
Snap n go - a useful little app that requires a companion app on the PC - basically use a camera to take a pic of windows explorer and touch the file to import viw wi-fi
3/
Office suite - self explanatory
4/
Gingerbread keyboard - what it says, if you type much this is the best by far.
5/
QR droid - 2D barcodes, fabulously useful, learn to use these things, you will need to sooner or later.
6/
Electrodroid - paid version - absolutely brilliant for anyone who goes anywhere near computer or electronic hardware, does far too much for me to list here, from various connector pin-outs to resistor circuit calculations.
7/
MobileBiz Pro - paid version - create quotes and send invoices from your mobile, the complete mobile billing solution, one customer will pay for this truly excellent app.
8/
PC Monitor - paid version - companion to an app run as a service on a PC, stonking app, does just about everything you could require for monitoring and controlling remote computers via GSM, including running command line, booting users, controlling services, monitoring hardware, truly excellent app.
9/
WiFi File Explorer - paid version - file manipulation and exchange between phone and any computer with wi-fi, just open a browser window on the computer. Another superb app.
Just add a 16 gig SD card and fill it with useful apps and tools, magic, never worry about which USB stick hold what again.
10/
Wifi Analyser - does what it sounds like, very useful.
11/
RF Signal tracker - does what it sounds like but for phone / radio frequencies, very useful.
12/
SetCPU - paid app - brilliant for underclocking on demand, which prolongs battery life.
13/
Network mapper - the android version of cheops etc.
14/
SMS Backup + (Jan Berkel) - does what it says on the tin.
15/
Contact Analyser 2 - stops cruft building up with contacts.
16/
GTech Net Tools - another very useful TCP test app
17/
Network Info II - another useful network info tool
18/
Terminal Emulator - does what it says on the tin
19/
GPS Survey - very useful for outdoor wi-fi
20/
Google - Mail / Maps / Navigation / Buzz, very very useful.
21/
Titanium backup - self explanatory
All of the above turn my Galaxy S into a portable office complete with customer billing, plus a portable computer / wi-fi diagnostic toolbox
I would swap 14 for SMS Backup+. It backs up the call log as well and all automatically to your Gmail account.

quite right too, installed on my phone now.
Thank you! Very useful app!
Nice one !
Thanks for the mention of Electrodroid, it comes in very handy in the garage, even if it does now mean my phone gets covered in grease and oil now

If you go near a car then Garage Buddy is also quite useful.
There are also some good android ODB interfaces if you have a more modern vehicle.
I've looked around on this forum and others, but I haven't found a tool yet which allows for file browsing and upload/download from a Samsung WP7 device. Most of the tools available seem to be for HTC phones.
The "Advanced Explorer for WP7" allows browsing, but the desktop client to copy files off doesn't seem to work - whenever I try, I get an unhandled exception. Looking at the source code for the app, it seems that only limited file access is enabled for non-HTC devices.
Does anyone know any tools or a way to get files off the device onto a computer?
Thanks!
not yet as of now, but here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021135 claims that he will release one soon
I saw that one - the reg editor works better than any others I've tried, so I have high hopes for the file browser part.
Since I saw people posting on how they got the Diagnosis app off and REed it, I assumed there was tool already available >_<

My webserver is limited (e.g. it doesn't go through device drivers to enable more access), but this is how one may easily pull files off the device for the sake of RE (or whatever).

The webserver allowed me to get the Diag app off, thanks!
This is going a bit OT, but some folders in Windows did come up with error accessing contents, any idea why? Also, I noticed some of the files had size zero when downloaded.
Good day people!
Frickin lovin the new Nexus, and after rooting and flashing clockwork and the updated image including the volume fix (I never experienced that btw) I've got it running almost perfect. A couple of minor tweaks would really make this device shine for me.
1) I can't get MTP support to work on my home PC. I've got a "modded" version of Windows XP pro SP3 but WMP11 just doesn't see my device with or without debugging. I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the PC not the phone as when I put it in CTP it works fine. So my question is: Is there a wifi based file transfer app that "supports folder management"? As when I used wifi file transfer I find it a right ballache to organise my music.
2) I used to run the Nexus S with NSCollab which took a lot from Cyanogen, namely the superb notification bar power settings i.e. wifi, 2g/3g, brightness etc. Is there an app out there that does the same thing or does it have to be baked into the ROM? I like the link to the settings on the bar but it'd be great to have more customisation on this.
Many thanks for your input and sorry if this has been covered. I know there's a thread on MTP but as my MTP issue is with my PC and not the phone I didn't feel like it was relevant.

Try using dropbox. It's more cloud based than file transfer but in the end it winds up with the same result (your files available on your pc). Dropbox has a client that installs on your PC so that your cloud storage shows up like any other folder would. Then install dropbox on your phone and upload from the phone and you will see it show up in the folder on your computer.
Good day!
Regarding your first question - a good app that I have used for a while is WiFi File Explorer (there is a Pro and a free version). It is a very good app - quite simple but it does let you organise the folders on you phone from the PC. There is also a free app called AirDroid which is supposed to very extremely immpressive. I have downloaded it but not yet tried it. But it provides a desktop like interface on which you can view your phones contents - supposed to be great.
For your second question - I think you may have to wait for more ROMs to come out before you can get this feature! I'm looking forward to it - suprised it wasn't integrated into ICS as standard tbh.

Hey there,
Downloaded Airdroid and it looks great. Can't test it properly yet as my work desktop isn't on the WiFey. From the looks of the screenshots it has proper folder management options which is exactly what I was looking for. The problem with wifi file explorer for me is that it's heavily HTML-based so no drag and drop functionality... will let you know how it goes. Cheers for that.

I do use dropbox and yeah it's a pretty quick way of getting the files to my phone but then they're all sat in the dropbox directory which isn't ideal. Can't complain for free tho right!

Edit : I mean system/app folder for the title.
I manage to strip down my Android to bare minimum, and so far I'm VERY happy with the result.
My device is Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) but I suppose it is applicable to other Samsung or even any other Android devices (probably custom ROM too) , since I did cross research to wide varieties of stripped devices (including S series, Sony and such).
So far the debloating guides I've encounter don't go this far. I'm left with 68 files within system/app folder.

As I remember, his spreadsheet was one of my resource to find the useless apps. I will attempt to compare both spreadsheets, and maybe add some more infos to mine.
Scribd link (also attached as PDF) :

I shared the google doc to public with editing permitted.
So if you're planning to debloat on your device or have complete infos on each apk, you can add it up there so might help anyone attempting to debloat their devices.
note :
Keep in mind, I use my tablet for laptop replacement, which means I don't use it for phone, sms and such (altho they're still working properly) and I disabled contact sync too, so I'm left with contact list stored within my SIM/phone.
I don't use GPS on my tablet too, so I removed GPS location through network (but it still working as well)
I have hardware keyboard at my disposal so in that table I removed SamsungIME.apk since I can use my hardware keyboard for initial setup and such.

Been couple of days, on heavy load (watching videos, playing 3D games, youtube and such) my Note 10.1 last about 15+ hours with this minimal settings. Of course I also turned on battery saving mode and turning off haptic feedback. I don't need all those.
Might last a week + if I put it on standby, since the battery consumption seems very flat and the only app listed within "battery" are only LCD screen. Phone, sms, GPS, etc, working great. Booting up is a snap, as well as starting apps and such. No crashes or force closes. AT ALL.
Some settings won't open when I tap them, but no crashes too. Simply, this is the android device of my dream.
Still need help and more infos on the safely removed apks. Or if you have other device than samsung, and want to do this to yours, I could use a bit of cross reference on what's the bare minimum of APKs.
Edit : Now I want to test out www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-any-app-as-system-app-on-android and see if I did hard reset on it.

Work marvelously. Need to set the permissions on the app.
For commercial apps, it will install to .asec in app-private. Use ES Explorer to convert it to ,apk. Uninstall, then install as usual. Find the apk at data/app.
Need to have the /lib files within the /system/lib in order all these to work.
Also, remember to set the permissions to both the apk and the lib files.
