Long time LG G2 user that just picked up a refurb S5 yesterday.On my G2, if I wanted to transfer files quickly between my laptop (PC) and phone, I could just connect the 2 via a built-in wifi file sharing app. I don't see something similar for the S5. Any quick/easy/free way to connect my phone to my laptop via wifi? Would prefer not to have to hook up my USB cord every time I need to do a file transfer.

i just want to confirm that i got this right, because no one seems to be mentioning this. I have an iPhone 3g and there doesn't seem to be any app file sharing in itunes. Is this feature only for the iphone 4 and 3gs. Can someone please confirm or deny this, cause i need to know because im sick and tired of transferring my pdfs via wifi.

Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1
I have a SM-G920F (completely stock) on 5.1.1.
I'm experiencing very slow file uploads to any PC on my LAN.
Downloads (from PC to phone) = 10-15 MBps
Uploads (from Phone to PC) = 1 MBps
My WIFI network is 5G, target PCs are on a Gigabit wired connection.
I've tried several target PCs
Static IP for the phone
Rebooted the router
Rebooted device
Changed network to 2.4GHz
Why I'm seeing very slow upload of files ? I'm not even sure if this is normal ....
Few days ago I purchased SGS II, and few days later I purchased a Prolink USB Wireless Network Adapter To Create Wi-Fi connection between my pc internet and my mobile. and I am succeed
so, now my phone use my pc internet via wi-fi.
but I notice it only use for internet connection.
what I want, I also want to transfer at least send files to phone via wi-fi connection like Bluetooth does.. because I see wi-fi have enough data transfer speed. so, it is very ridiculous to look out for USB data cable to send/transfer any files from pc to phone.
I want to share my mobile screen with PC over WiFi so that I will be able to see pics/video on PC just by playing on mobile. Is there any way I can do it. Is there any app.

1. Does it support Java so that I can install 3rd party apps ?
2. Does the current device support wifi sharing (mobile hotspot), and what is the max concurrent connection ?
3. Does it support standard pop mail without using Exchange ?
4. Can I upgrade the OS by myself (on supported devices) ?
5. Does it support USB tethering ?
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 running version 4.4.4.
The problem is that when I create my wifi hotspot for connecting my computer to, with network will be created but no internet is available over the connection. I've tried to connect multiple devices to my phones hotspot and none of them are able to access the internet.
is there any way of selecting the file type that camera image files and video files are saved as? I know that the SGS2 supports various file formats, but I can't find anywhere that actually lets you select the format type. I've checked through the manual, Googled and searched various forums without luck.

So for example I took a pic with the stock camera and then tried to share it via Google messenger using the in app share button. Every time I hit the share to messenger button nothing happened. BTW it's happened multiple times with different apps (ie sharing links from Firefox.)

View 10 Replies View RelatedI thought it would be useful to make a bug list, that way anyone with a specific problem can come here to see if it's common and if there's any workarounds."Wi-Fi Sharing" process activated when tethering not enabled..Problem description: When using my phone earlier when connected to wifi, my battery went down very fast. Looked in the battery monitor, and it showed that the "Wi-fi sharing" process was using more power than the screen (which is unusual) - it used about 10% in half an hour. I also noticed my phone had clocked up to 1.2ghz and was getting pretty hot. I force stopped the process, and the CPU clocked back down to 200mhz.
Reproducing the problem: It appears to happen if you've enabled or configured tethering once. When it happens to me, it happens if I disable then enable wifi. It may or may not be specific to the type of wifi network you connect to.Root your phone and freeze "Wi-Fi sharing" in Titanium Backup. This will not effect Kies air or anything, though could effect tethering. If your tethering no longer works after freezing this application, defrost it to restore tethering functionality.Most people are saying this, and another wifi drain issue, have been fixed in the latest firmware(s).Potential issues when restoring settings from a rooted phone to a non rooted SGS II via Google.I did have a little problem here and there when I first got my SGSII. When I setup the google account, I chose to allow google to restore my settings. It is pretty cool as it restored all the apps I had with my old SGS but I suspect some of the apps I had is for the custom rom only hence I had problem everywhere with the new SGSII. I then did a factory reset and setup without the restore bit and since then I havn't had a single problem yet.My phone came with XWKDD and I heard something about this firmware has fixes to the previous ones, so it might worth upgrade your firmware if you are ok with Odin So my suggestions to you is, do a factory reset and rebuild your phone from scratch without restoring, if problem still exists, consider a firmware update.
I wanna why option of transmission of file has been deleted by Wi-fi in ICS.This is a great function which facilitated sending of file.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSince getting my new phone - Samsung s6 in September I have been using it for screen mirroring with my TV to watch some movies and stuff. So decided to watch some more today and the screen locks after a time, say 10 mins.
How I change this? Non of the options I have seen allow this to be disabled they just allow for it to be longer. 10 for screen turn off and 30 mins for lock is the most I can get.
I have this phone and it's a good phone, but the WiFi is not working. I go to WLAN Wizard > Options > Refresh > Selecting a WiFi connection and when I type something or go to web feeds, bookmarks this error I get:"Web: Unable to execute the file for security reasons".

View -1 Replies View RelatedDid something happen with the way you transfer files on the new S6? I finally got the wife to switch from iPhone, and when she plugs in the phone to her computer, it just charges. It doesn't show in "My Computer" like every other android device I've ever used. Sometimes I'd have to drag down the notifications and select file transfer, or MTP, or something similar. This phone doesn't do any of that. It just charges, very frustrating.
I tried a different cable. Still, the phone just says its charging.
I even figured I'd go to settings, storage, but the menu option in there for "USB Computer Connection" is missing too. Its like the core functionality for usb file transfer is just gone.
What am I missing? Has it been this way for a while and I just never knew because I've been nexus for so long? I don't think thats it. Surely something is wrong and I'm just overlooking it.
For what its worth, it didn't work on my Mac either using the Android File Transfer program. That just says No Android Device Found.
Is it possible to disable file history in the stock file manager? I don't see a setting. What I don't like is that is shows files from the .hidden folder even when hidden folders are in hidden mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had my Galaxy S5 since a year ago in May. I do martial arts and a great learning aid is to have videos of my forms on my phone, and when I'm waiting somewhere, watch the videos. The problem I'm having, is that I use Airdroid to upload the videos from my PC to the S5 and put them in the Movies folder, which makes them available in Gallery on my phone. BUT the Gallery app ( is it an app? ) doesn't show file names. So I may have Kata 1,2,3,4 and 5, for example, but all I see are videos there, it doesn't show me which one is Kata 1, etc.Is there a setting that can fix this, or do I need some other kind of App for seeing my photos & videos, that WILL show file names?
