"Eye-Fi" = Wireless Card?

"Eye-Fi" is a new SD-card wireless adapter designed to provide wi-fi connectivity to digital cameras. It's also a 2GB SD memory card. How cool would it be if this could serve as a wireless adapter for the I-mate Jam/HTC Magician? Anybody think it could be made to work?

I think this has too much built-in intelligence to work. It basically has its own embedded computer and operating system.

I've already contacted the eye-fi, they said that it is not compatible with any Pocket PC devices. Too bad. :-(

that does sound nice

Some wlan cards

just search for "sd wlan" and you find thousand of cards

What would be much more interesting would be to get eye-fi working in a camera and sending pics to your pda. Unfortunately eye-fi doesn't support adhoc. (so ICS on PC or wmwifirouter etc. on PDA won't work) There is a recent hack for xp using python that replaces the "eye-fi manager" so that you can bypass their setup. This doesn't give it adhoc just more functionality and privacy. With pythonCE can we do this on a pda?

btw. if you just want to get the pics uploaded from eye-fi in your pda, create a nested folder: DCIM\x in the root of the eye-fi card and put your pics there. no spaces in names, only .JPGs,
This was with the 2GB explore card, the newer video versions allow more file formats.

Its Sound Nice to me .... i wanna buy it ....

The new Eye-fi Pro 4gb cards are faster, handle raw format, and allow an adhoc connection. Cost more too, about $150
I still have an "Eye-fi Explore 2gb" and I really like it, but it doesn't do adhoc, only infrastructure. To add new wifi networks to the card you need to plug the card into an SD card reader in a usb port of a PC running the eyefi manager software. This means you need to plan ahead if going out with only the camera and not your PC. Captive portals won't work either, as there's no interaction between card and hotspot other than SSID/password. I have mine configured with about a dozen known SSIDs as well as alot of router default name/password combinations. Also, it comes with a year long subscription to the AT&T/Wayport network (mcdonalds, starbucks, etc)
It does a reasonably good job (in urban areas) of geotagging by looking at SSIDs in the area when a pic is taken ("fake GPS" similar to Loki or Google Latitude) This is with any SSIDs, not just configured ones... when the pic is taken it tags it with SSIDs it sees, and if it can't upload then, it will later upload with that data and consult the database to attempt to locate where the shot was taken.
I've got an old point and shoot Canon running CHDK. I can turn on the intervalometer or motion-detect setting, set the camera down somewhere, and if it's in a wifi hotspot that the card is configured to, I'll see the resulting pics on any internet connection by going to picasa or flickr, etc. Not exactly a streaming motion detect spy camera but it's fun.

External storage for WM devices

Hi all,
I've been using a carputer for some time now, but recently i find myself using my touch cruise more than anything else. It hooks up through BT and handles GPS and music without issues.
The only downside is the limited storage capacity it has compared to a full blown computer. (I have an 8gig SDHC)
Is there any way to enlarge this.
- I've been thinking about a NAS, but I'm unsure about the workings of this.
- AFAIK USB on the go is not supported, nor is USB host
- BT is another option, but is just way to slow for data transfer.
Any options ?
tia,
John

Maybe Network Folder Plugin will help you. It should mount a samba (windows shared) folder.

Can i connect to a NAS through this plugin?
If not, it kind of defeats the point to run a full blown computer in the car just to have file storage. Especially since I come from a carputer

well what are you storing file wise, several companies including Microsoft have storage available for mobile devices. windows live share, I use virtual mobile fore photos content etc.. sofar no mp3 support but it has some use and is free for the time being. There are several boxes out there that support usb host. maxtor or Buffalo make one I believe for dumping photos and music on the go.

Wireless storage (File Networking) one of the best G Pro features doesn't work

LG OGP has an awesome feature called Wireless Storage (File Networking). This feature gives us the ability to share any of the phone storage (Internal and external storage and external) without any hustle.
To get it to work you have to go to Settings->Networks (tab)->Share & Connect->File Networking and select "Share my folder" option you will receive the device IP address and name for access.
Now all you have to do is to go to your PC and enter in Windows Explorer the phone address (//Device name or //Device IP).
You should get very good transfer speed (about 2MB/[email protected] and 4MB/[email protected])
I tried any combination possibly without success I also turned my firewall off and still no go. I also tried with another PC on another network.
I can ping the phone but I can't connect it through explorer
Did someone successfully manage to get it to work ?

BEWARE!! THERE IS A GLITCH I FOUND, if you use this feature it will slowly delete the files in the folder that you are currently viewing i opened my videos folder i had like 20 videos! i clicked one to watch it and when i got out of it the there was 15 left i thought it was just a networking optimization thing so i clicked another one and i watched it but i had it windowed for some reason the videos were disappearing from the folder to the point where there was only 2 left!! WTH i had to use a program to undelete the videos from the Micro SD card.
Try it in windows explorers type \\192.168.1.80 or \\LG-E980

How To Share Videos, Photos Between iPhone and Android Quickly

After the porting of Bluetooth in Mobile Phones, data transferring has become really easy; just turn on the Bluetooth, Pair with other device and share the data while doing other stuff. You can even connect a Headset to listen to music using Bluetooth and in these hours of technology, Bluetooth is even available in all of the devices and with fast transferring speed too. However, when it comes to an Apple device, simply an iPhone, things are a lot more different.
Apple devices have Bluetooth ported in them, but it can only be used for connecting Bluetooth devices, not for ‘Transferring data’. So, if you have an Android device and you want to transfer data to an iPhone, you can’t just except to transfer data using Bluetooth. However, Wi-Fi can be used to do such a thing, all you need is to download an Application and start transferring.

How To Transfer Media Between Android and iPhone
Open App stores on both the devices, and Downlaod Photo Sync.
Android version is free with Ads, while on iOS you need to pay $2.99.
Make Sure both the devices are connected to the same Network.
Open the app and Select the Photos and Videos.
Once you have selected them all, Tap the Red Sync Button on the Top.
After that Choose the Transfer mode, in this case it is Phone/Tablet.
The app will then search for the nearby devices with Photo Sync installed on them.
Now all that left is to tap the device to which you want to share with and Transfer the files.
If by any chance App does not search for devices automatically, you can configure the IP manually.
The Files will be transfered via Wi-Fi connectivity, hence noticeably faster than Bluetooth.

bump is an easier way to transfer

Maybe ShareIT is the best.

I'm using SHAREIt and it works very fine with me
Also I have another app name Software Data Cable and I'm using this one to transfer from & TO PC efficiently

You can also use Picxer. It works similar to a messenger but sends the pictures in full quality. And they are automatically saved in gallery. Works well for me

Wifi-Debugging and time-shift to USB-drive

Hello everyone,
I am owning a 65OLED903/12 TV on android 8 and do want to be able to access the ADB interface over Wifi to determine in my ioBroker Smarthome system what kind of service is currently in use (live TV, Netflix, Amazon prime etc.) and to control the device (e.g. switch off when a time-limit is reached, volume control etc.). I am able to perform all the tasks if I am able to access the ADB interface over Wifi.
The downside to this is, that when I enable USB-debugging, the build-in time-shift functionality to pause and resume live-TV stream by utilizing a USB-thumbdrive for bufferung is not available anymore.
Now the question is: how can I use ADB over Wifi with leaving the USB functionality available, explicitly the time-shift functionality? Or: Is there a tool that I can sideload, which offers a similar API or a local ADB availability be able to perform the above tasks via a local HTTP-API or something similar?
Cheers
