Best Application for Transferring Files without Cord

I am currently running ics-deck-pa8 and after some research it seems there is no USB support for mounting, however I found this app that works great! Its easy install to. No port forwards, no firewall issues, no user/pass needed, just install, start, and change away

um, dropbox?

I dont like dropbox. Never did. Also this uses LAN not WAN access to sync everything. As well, its an FTP client so I can drag, drop, modify, share to any folder on the phone. As opposed to: drag files to Dropbox folder, wait for sync on both sides, then use a file browser to drag and drop files where you need them.
Im doing a lot of file moving back and fourth for mod'ing right now on the ICS Rom and dont have USB SD mount support.

Ftpserver app (pretty sure it's that its simple) and filezilla is what I use when cable is not an option. You can use it over wifi and 3g ... I believe that's what you are asking about. hope it helps

Es File explorer works great. You can bookmark local shares and it can treat dropbox and box.net accounts like a folder, seemlessly. Root access, etc

I use Airdroid and it works pretty well.

I tried AirDroid for ICS pa8 and it wasnt co-operating. It looked like a great App. It kept giving my my 3G IP Address and not my WiFi IP address.
hmmm. I just though about turning off 3G and trying it. Either way they both accomplish the same thing.

A long time ago I couldn't get my computer to recognize my Evo, so I bought this app called Websharing or something. It uses webdav, and I've found that too be the best option for dragging and dropping files without USB. If you can find a free app that uses webdav then I'd try that out. Once you have it setup it's just like having your phone connected via USB, except transfer is a bit slower.
The app I bought hasn't been updated in over a year. There's a free version but you only get webdav with the paid version. If you can find a free app that does the same then I'd save your money.

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:

It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Cedarsprings thanks for letting us know.. Kinda interested now!
Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?
I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.
If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Nice! As soon as I read Cedarsprings review I was kinda bummed cause I just ordered one of these today. But if stickmount works, this little drive will be my new favorite toy

When I had my nexus 7 and used some random OTG, it worked like a charm on it .. So here's hoping! The meenova looks so much more schmick than the clunky OTG I used to have!!

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.

G2 Wireless Storage Port?

Any chance of this happening? I pulled the .apk and odex files from the app today, and I'm quite sure that just sideloading the .apk isn't going to work.
Just wondering if anyone is planning on trying a port of the wireless storage over to the G4. I would LOVE to have it available as others would I'm sure.

I am not sure anyone ever got this ported. I wish they would. On my rooted G2 running Cloudy G3, we were not able to just copy and paste it. Framework is needed for the status bar shortcuts and even without it wouldnt launch.
There are Samba SMB server apps in the Play Store that work the same. FYI

I can only confirm that the wireless storage function is coded into systemui (stock value is false) and also the corresponding qs icons are threre.

At the moment I will be able to root I will try to activate it and check whether other smali files are missing or not.

Give this a try,
It is an awesome file explorer that in lanscape mode you could drag and drop files from one folder to another, even root folders (if you are rooted)
but most importantly it has a wifi file sharing just like the G2, you can browse your files straight from the file explorer on your PC

Give it a shot.

It's called "AirDrive" on your phone now, in case you guys are still looking for this feature. This is under the LG Bridge app as well.

Did your G4 come with a browser other than Chrome?

My Verizon G4 only came with Chrome browser. I saw some posts mentioning another stock browser installed on some phones. If you have the other browser, could you please upload the apk?

Same here, just chrome and I'm on Sprint

I believe all the USA phones come with only Chrome. Been using #NoChromo google it for the thread other's are using it as well on the G4 I like it alot. Too bad we can't uninstall chrome.

My LG-H815, softvare V10a-EUR-XX, came with 2 diferent browser... Chorme and stock... on my previous galaxy SIII I used chrome, but I find the stock browser in LG G4 far better than chrome.
Stock browser also come within QSlide apps, so you can launch it from quick settings panel and then resized it to flow over desktop. The button controls for browsing can also be customized inside the browser, so it is realy a great browsing experience.
Here are some pics:

My phone came with the stock LG browser, but I downloaded Chrome because I like it.

Thanks for posting it! So far, it won't let me install it. I'll keep messing with it though.

Anybody figured out how to install the browser?
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app

Yea I am really pissed that the US carriers rip out the stock browser with QSlide. We installed it in the G2 forums but it requires flashing it (I think).
I use the QSlide apps on occasion. Although on the G2, the Phone app would not allow for in-call button presses for Automated Attendant options. I mean it WOULD allow it... but they just weren't passed to the other side. Kinda defeats the purpose because I would have an email open with a conference bridge phone number and connection number. I could dial the number but not enter the number to join.
The Browser was pretty sweet though but irrelevant now that we have dual window I guess, although I think we can only dual windows certain apps. God I want root.

My US Cellular version (LGUS991) only had Chrome as a pre-installed browser, but after having some very annoying (albeit trivial) issues with Chrome on this device I opted to just remove it and opted to use Opera for Android (which I am finding has all the features I liked about Chrome and then some).
I use to be all about Chrome but it seems like it has been dropping the ball for me as of late (on both the Android devices and on my Laptop actually).

I'm on the Verizon G4. I tried putting the whole folder under system/apps and system/priv-apps, set all the permissions the same as the surrounding files and folders and force close every time. I would love to be able to use this browser. Can anyone help?

sometimes the lib file doesn't match with apk...what version of fw you used..
Once i have tried replaced camera apk from e to b, got force close even after clear cache/data..but when replaced with g fw, its working..so i guess you have to try with another version if possible

"Apps will secretly download files"

I just got a pop-up message on my screen, about 3/4 of the area of the whole screen, "Apps will secretly download files." And it had a link to play store.
Except, I wasn't using a browser.
It just appeared out of nowhere. And I don't install ANY new apps that I haven't used in the last 5 years. WTF?!
Is ES File Explorer going completely rogue?! OR something?!

Anyone?

ES File Explorer newer than 3.5 is full of Spamware and Advertisements
use Old Version in google to install the 3.5 APK of ES File Explorer, don't bother upgrading to new 4.x version they are all bloatware.
Another recommendation, install Droid Firewall (DroidWall - Android Firewall) from Play Store

I just started receiving this on my android TV stick 2 data ago. I don't know where it's coming from, but I have es file explorer installed on at least 7 other devices and I haven't seen it on any of those. I'd love to know where this is coming from.

It's ES 8-( Too bad I went to Google Play, it still has a 4.5/5 due to the huge number of positive reviews over the years, but RECENT reviews consist of 1 and 2-star reviews due to false notifications, lock screen hijacking, and popups... plus a 5-star review or two from someone trolling and saying "Well, he has to make money somehow" (I replied to these, pointing out in my 2-star review that making money via ads in the app is legit... but ads outside the app are illegitimate spam.)

I just got it on my phone. It's definitely ES. I turned off all notifications while I look for a new file explorer.

better check what permissions you gave ES File Explorer. They are probably selling out everything you say, type, everywhere you go, your contact list, who you email and about what, what you eat, what time you get up in the morning, if you workout, etc, etc.

I have been very happy with Solid Explorer File Manager.
