RavPower WD01 WIFI Hub With Wireless Bridge Mode

I ordered the RavPower WD01 battery-powered wireless hub with wireless bridge mode when it went on sale for 50% off on Amazon (it's still on sale and here's the link, if you're interested - http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower%C2%AE-RP-WD01-Wireless-WiFi-Disk-Li-Polymer/dp/B00AQUMZRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362256659&sr=8-1&keywords=ravpower+wd01 ). I wanted the ability to use portable media that I already have with my note and had been contemplating purchasing this unit due to the awkward placement of the proprietary power port that you need to plug OTG cables into. The Ravpower hub solves this issue since it's wireless.
The vendor processed and shipped my order promptly; unfortunately, a snow storm in the Midwestern US delayed the shipping company by several days. I've now had the unit for several days and can only say one word, WOW. This device exceeds my expectations. It's well worth the investment and can be used not only with Android and IOS devices, but with PCs as well.
The WD01 Is a compact device that's slightly smaller than a deck of cards. It's shipped well-protected in a sturdy box with foam enclosures that surround and it.

}
In addition to the WD01, the box contains a USB charging cable to charge the internal 3000 MAH battery and brief instructions. The battery on my unit was partially charged when I received it so I was able to set it up immediately. The WD01 has a slot for an SD card and a full-sizes USB port that can support flash drives and external hard drives (up to 2T).
The photo I've linked shows a flash drive and an SD card installed, but I have plugged my 2T hard drive and some smaller capacity hard drives into the unit and it could read all of them.
There is a free app that you can download and intall to setup the WD01, but as other reviewers have noted, you don't need it. What you need to do once you power on the device is wait for the WDO1's internal router to complete its power up, which can take a minute or so. Once the blue WIFI indicator light for the router stops blinking go to your note's WIFI settings and you should see a new network beginning with WIFI, click on connect. When prompted for a password, input the default, which is: 11111111. (That's eight 1s.) You can now use your Internet browser to set up your WD01 and I would recommend this method since you can configure more of the features than you can with the app. I also recommend using Dolphin HD or Firefox over the stock browser. Once your note has connected to the WD01 pull up your browser and input the default iP address of the WD01, which is 10.10.10.54 . You'll see the main login page.
The user name, which cannot be changed, is admin. The defaut password empty so just hit enter. This will launch a wizard that will take you through all the settings and allow you to set your own passwords for the device as well as change the default IP address for browser access to settings. You also set up the WD01's wireless bridge mode through the wizard. This feature will allow the WD01 to connect to your router so you can access the Internet via your router while connected to it. A word of warning, however, your mileage may vary with this feature depending on you router. Some routers now support WDS with strong WPA2 encryption, many don't. My router doesn't support WDS so I tested briefly putting my router into bridge repeater mode, but I also had to reduce my encryption down to WEP (with attendant speed reductions). It worked, but I quickly reverted my router back to its previous settings with WPA2 encryption. The wireless bridge feature isn't critical to me. However, when I next upgrade my router I'll make sure it supports WDS with WPA2 encryption. If you set up the wireless bridge mode, you can also configure dynamic dns on the WD01.
Once the wizard has taken you through all the settings, you'll see the main WD01 browser screen.
This allows easy navigation to make changes again to network settings.
You can even search attached media by name.
If you have a file manager that supports SMB, like ES File Explorer, you can use it to view and open files once connected to the WD01.
All files I tested, including audio books, MP3 and MP4 formats opened quickly and played flawlessly.
If you so desire, you can download the free AIRSTOR app to setup the device, but if you don't like bloatware, I recommend against it. The WD01 runs for about 5 hours on its internal battery. Up to 5 devices can connect to it at a time. The range on mine is about 25 feet before the signal gets too weak. I highly recommend this device. It's well worth the money.

FYI - It is on sale at Newegg.com for $40 from a third party. I think a number of similar units will come on the market shortly. However, I picked up one of these.
PS If you need warranty service, newegg is insisting on having the original box.

[Q] Syncing Music

Hi,
Can someone help ? - I'm loosing my mind
I've had a smartwatch 3 for about a week and had nothing but problems....
I'm trying to copy music to it so that I can listen to the music and leave my phone at home.....
Im using a galaxy s4 (4.4.2)with the smart watch 3 (5.0.2.
I've added music to google play and downloaded it fine to my phone (turned of all data connections and played it to make sure)
In play music I have located the "download to android wear" option and ticked this.
No matter what I do the music does not transfer to the watch !
I've tried this with play lists and albums.
The phone has been restored to factory defaults and so has the watch !
The reason I brought this was due to the fact it had GPS and in built music playing ! - ideal for running !
Can anyone advise ? - this thing is getting close to being sent back !

Personally I use the walkman app from sony for playing music on the watch, you can sync playlists made on your phone with the walkman app to the watch, keeps it nice and separate from google music.

I got it working fine with Play Music, and use it for my runs without the phone. Let me try and talk you through what I did.
I have all my music on Play Music (not on my phone storage, or SD card). I created a separate playlist called Sony Smartwatch, and marked it for download on the Play Music app on my phone. I then ticked the Download to Wear option in the Settings. Nothing happened at first, but what I did notice is that it started to download songs to the watch as soon as I plugged in the watch to charge. It also gave me a notification on the watch that it was downloading music, including the number of tracks remaining to download. It does take a while, but now it's perfect. Hope this helps.
Oh, and by the way, I use GhostRacer at the same time to track my runs on stand alone GPS, and then it auto uploads to Strava. I find Ghostracer the best because when you go to the Start Screen on the watch, it shows in the top left the strength of the GPS signal and fix, so that you can be sure you have a signal before you start your run (as long as you stand outside in the open for about 30 seconds before, it should find a lock)

I think there may be some confusion with Play Music and how the music is stored. Even if you have music stored locally as mp3 files on your phone, they show up in Play Music, and I think that may be the problem. You need to have the music stored on the Google Play Servers (you need to use a PC to upload them) and then mark a playlist for download.
I'm enclosing some screenshots if it helps:

thanks for the reply.
i'm starting to think the watch has a problem.
I've spoken to Sony tonight and reloaded the firmware on the watch but I appear to still have the problem.
The watch pairs with the phone fine - however when I open the android wear app you can see it connect and disconnect.
I downloaded some music from play on to the phone and then ticked the setting to download android wear but nothing is happening - even on charge.
When I look at the screen I notice the icon which says it's disconnected (cloud with a line through it) is on the screen !
Does your's remain connected at all times or have I got a bad unit ?
Thanks for any advice !
Paul

You may have a faulty device, or it may be something with the phone - you don't have any power saving apps or such like that are switching your Bluetooth on the phone on and off, depending on location, time of day etc etc... (Dunno if the S4 has it's own power saving stuff pre-installed) Check and see when the disconnected icon is up whether the phone Bluetooth is off at the same time, and obviously within range (the Bluetooth range is NOT that great).

ok......
so after weeks of tyring to get this to work I sent the watch back !
It took approx 10 days to be returned from sony's service center.
In my return package I listed the problems faced and things I'd tried !
The returned package from them contain a brand new watch as I guess they agreed it was faulty.
Charged it up - connected it to the phone - sync'd the music !
No connection drops between the phone and the watch at all !
In fact the watch just works as I expected nearly a month ago.
If you are reading this and are having same problems as I was (disconnected icon on watch all the time and not able to sync music) then PLEASE dont do what I did and waste vast amounts of your time trying to get it to work....
IT WONT ! - it is faulty.
Send it back to Sony and GET A REPLACEMENT.
Thanks for all your help and supoprt with this though
At least it wasnt me be dumb.

Hey Joachim
I was using the walkman app to sync my music but since the update the option to sync to wearable seems to have disappeared. Any ideas pls? The kgoogle play option is rubbish as there's no way to select what music I want. Some drum and bass for running then something less crazy for the warm down. I don' want old school motown when I 'm feeling the burn. lol

Samsung galaxy s4 won't push music to the smartwatch 3
Good evening, I just got my smartwatch 3 and I am having the same problem mentioned in this forum.
I have tried multiple things as found online and no success. Everything else seems to work in the watch and it seems to stay connected to my galaxy s4 but yet it gives me that google music play warning "Phone is disconnected. Reconnect to download tracks." Even though it's connected just fine by way of Android wear.
I would really appreciate some more guidance before I reach out to sony or send my watch back.
I really just bought it for this functionality and the gps for running.
Many thanks.

I've been looking at updated my galaxy S4 to the latest android 5 but even that is a pain. I have T-Mobile as a provider.
Would that make any difference in the music transfer between the phone and the watch?

So I synced the watch on my Nexus 10 and downloaded a Playlist on to the watch from Google play music. Everything works fine. It must be my S4 that is the issue. Somehow some file from the Google play services must have gotten corrupted. Is there a way to check and reload it without doing a factory reset on the phone?

Found a work around.

There is an app called Media Wear. Works like a charm on the galaxy s4. And I can pick and choose the songs I want to push from my folders. It's genius. Simple but elegant and gets the job done.
Bigup for the developer of media wear!
Thanks for sharing your insight Dyarstrait. What would I do without this blogs?

Sorry for the confusion. Yeah, it worked just fine. A lot simpler to use. I think it can use a few more features like automatic synchronization of the folders but it does the job. Hope that it works for you.
Steps after you have downloaded the app:
1. Pick the folder with the music on your phone. Doesn't use playlist so just make a folder with your songs for the watch.
2. Pick the folder where you want to put the music in your watch.
3. Then click on the songs one by one and they will transfer to your watch. The phone app has an indicator that tells you they are transferring.
4. After you have transfer them, go to the watch, open the app, swipe left and you will see a folder. Browse to the folder where you put them and you will see the songs. Once you have your earphones connected, press on the song and boom. There is the music.
I'm surprised that google didn't make it this simple. Check it out and let me know if it works for you.

the older version Walkman app (version 8.5.A.0.6) is working for me quite well (Samsung Tab S sync to Sony Smartwatch 3) you just build a playlist, then toggle the Download to Wearable switch in that playlist and it syncs to the wearable via bluetooth. The music is also organized by playlist in the wearable app. Note: it wont sync if your wearable battery is around 30% or less.

Miracast not working on Nougat

I have enable Miracast on build.prop, for it to appear on the cast menu, it adds the option, I am able to find my TV, but when I connect to it, I receive a Force Close on the settings app, and the TV appears as black, or an static image of my phone homescreen, opening the settings app again would force close another time.. Is there any workaround for it?

I can confirm this. Miracast is not working on 7.0 (NPD90G).

UP

Really?

Thanks for the heads up. I had to root my 5X just to enable it (to change build.prop). And haven't allowed any updates since. I'd love to try Nougat, but not if it just cripples things I use.
I also had to root to enable apps to be able to access USB flash drives. Anyone know if Google resolved this in Nougat?

My EStrong File Explorer can access a USB flash drive (thumb type) without root on N. I haven't tried any other apps, though. However, otg, for that app, has always been available so that may not help with your issue.

I have Nougat installed and I try to connect to my microsoft wireless display adapter v2. I find it in the cast menu, but if I hit connect, the display adapter says connecting on the TV, but it is never successful.
Though I have to mention, that my adapter is pretty new and I never tried with Android 6, maybe it didn't work there either.
Greetings,
liebero
P.S: Did anyone successfully connect the microsoft wireless display adapter v2 with Android 6? Then I try switching back.

I'm on Android 7.0 NBD90W and the persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 fix doesn't work anymore. I've tried it on 2 LG smart TVs already.

I can confirm that Miracast to Microsoft display adaptor works on marshmallow. I have upgraded to nougat and it didn't work so I downgraded to marshmallow and plan to stay on marshmallow till I get a new phone. Probably going to go with a windows phone or an unlocked LG/Samsung. Seems Google no longer cares to offer Miracast so I'm hoping some of the other phone manufactures will include it.

Yes Mirracast is not working on Nougart but does work on Marshmellow

I can confirm that Miracast DOES NOT work on Nougat. This is so frustrating. I had to downgrade to Marshmallow Miracast is flawless on M. I have tried every ROM under the sun with the same results. Miracast FAILS to display with Nexus 6 and Nougat.

I had to buy a Chromecast because of this "bug" on Nougat, btw now I'm going to go back to Marshmallow on my 6P, since my 5X already died in a bootloop.

Hey there,
is this an Nexus 5X problem only? I'm using a OnePlus 3T with Android 7.0 and had also trouble connecting to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter plugged into my car radio. It always tried to connect while showing "Connecting..." but then just stopped. Somehow I managed to establish the connection, the problem is I don't know how.
I tried multiple things:
- Connecting from while Airplane Mode ist active
- Connecting while being connected via Bluetooth
- Switching to 2,4GHz WiFi only
None of those settings seemed to work so I switched them all back.
The day it finally worked I did the following:
- I was in the car with a friend who helped me out with trying to connect the device. About 30 connection tries after with multiple different settings (see above) were unsuccessful.
- I've been at his place about 2 hours, doing nothing special on the phone.
- When I got in the car afterwards, my OnePlus 3T could not find the wireless display adapter.
- After I stopped the engine (which does NOT turn off/reset the adapter) the phone could find the Miracast stick and the connection worked.
The last time the connection was successful before this point (I had to reset my device for rooting purposes) the connection always worked, after it was established the first time.

Yes, confirmed. Miracast is not working on Nougat. On Marshmallow it's working just fine.

Confirm, miracast wont work on Android 7. But also got weird acting. Its casting itself to neighbors TVs without me turning cast on. That is loose of privacy And security, i also seen the content What my neighbors whatching on theirs YouTube TV. How to fix issue, do anyone face same problem?

Its working on LineageOS, but yes doesn't work on nougart

Fixed mine just now. In addition to the previous build prop fix, remove the pound from sdm.debug.downscale_external=1

to get into fastboot you have to use the usb port farthest away from hdmi port. with usb 3 male to male cable.

I purchased two units and the other one is working fine, but the remote is no longer fast scrolling after it did a firmware update(another words when i try to scroll through my apps list on the main screen I have to keep pressing the right part of the remote repeatedly instead of holding it down. it also highlights the current position in green, it didn't do this before the update.

Do you have another Android Phablet? Yeah I guess someone had to throw it out there. 'Cause it sounds to me like its (i.e. the Shield), is waiting on some 2FA from a Phablet, PC, Note/Net-book to port your otherwise current Google Account over to the Shield.
So barring the rest of it. Do you even have a Google Account? Again I can only assume that some People have a more fruity lifestyle than others. So please don't take to much offence at this.
'Cause on just on the off chance that you don't.... This will almost certainly be your problem. I can't really, say that I have fully as such exhausted every option in that setup mode. As it was clearly, setup to be paired though a Phablet. Which I have, and am using to post this very Message. So it's a bit of a non starter, for me.

I did use my Nexus 6P to set up the Nvidia Shield. It completed, told me I had a firmware update at which point I clicked the install and restart button. Update installed and restarted again, at which point I got the Connecting to Google.. message.
I just managed to fix it! I decided to change the language (since that was one of the few things I could do.) It gave me a weird message, and proceeded with the startup. I have to figure out how to change the language back to English, but once I did it is working normal.

Can't connect my black shark 3 to laptop

My black shark 3 only charges when connected to laptop. There is no pop up to connect it to laptop please help

I'm having the same problem. it used to be fine and then all the sudden, it doesn't connect to the pc anymore.

Good afternoon!
I am from Brazil and I have the same problem unfortunately and without a solution so far and I believe it is a physical defect ....
Before I suspected that the last security update of the month 12/2020 could have caused this but seeing this topic there are people with this problem since 09/2020, that is before the android security update ...
I follow the topic to see if someone gives a light because mine is the same way I connect on the PC with his original usb cable and the device just keeps charging and does not open the menu to select the data transfer mode and even if I go to "Developer options" and enter usb settings and leave selected data transfer, nothing happens unfortunately it just keeps charging and doesn’t connect with the computer.
I did tests with other usb cables and nothing and also tried to connect to a Macbook Air and the same thing the device only charges and nothing else.
Detail the OTG function of it works normally because I connected an OTG adapter with a pen drive and recognized it normally in the cell phone and became the only way to transfer his data to a pc using the otg adapter and a pen drive for this solution.

I entered recovery connected to the pc and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in 2 different pcs and a notebook nothing.
I plugged in a 2011 Macbook air and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in normal USB 2.0 and 3.0 also nothing to recognize.
I called the multimedia in my car that mirrors the image of the cell phone and also nothing to recognize the cell phone.
Anyway it only charges when connected to any USB and the OTG function normally works because I connect a samsung adapter that I have and a pen drive and it recognizes normally ....
In other words, unfortunately a device of 400 USD that presents an idiotic defect like that of not connecting to the pc unfortunately ....
Even so I thank you for the tip and I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone else gives a tip.
Thank you all.

I have been thinking that I had the same problem, so I contacted the customer support and they told me to do this:

Hello
Enable dev mode by click 5 times in setting-about your phone, and search usb configuration in the sear bar, find default usb configuration and choose file transfile.
I tried it and it didn't work, so I tried everything I could think of and connected the phone to an old windows computer (I was using apple computers) and it worked, it seems that Mac os doesn't detect the phone while windows ones do.
So if you guys are trying with Mac os, maybe you had the same problem.
