Get a memory card reader and a microSD.
You can also use a bluetooth dongle for the pc and then beam files directly to your Wing without connecting with activesync.
Can we do that by wirless router? Say both the devices are connecting to the same wirless router.
A bluetooth dongle requires you to install the bluetooth software on the PC. If this is a locked down corporate computer, this is a no-go.
The WiFi sounds intriging... there are ways to browse network shares... but then again, this requires you to have wireless access to the network.

Hi there,
I’ve have successfully used file sharing over a wireless network between my pocket pc and my computer, it was even stable enough to stream and watch full sized divx movies (not resized for pocket pc) on my pocket pc. The only catch is that I’m using Resco Explorer to map a network drive on my pocket pc. I haven’t tried using the default Windows Mobile Explorer yet.

Yes i'm doing the same thing, for some reason i can get fullsized videos to stream though, can with music not video though, what player do u use ?
Overall its pretty easy to browse the network and share files, just use resco explorer and map the right folder
I use card export in my old BlueAngel... install it and the PPC connects to windows as a mass storage device... this and a spare usb cable in my bag... no need for anything else.

If the computer already has bluetooth you can create a pairing profile. From then you can right click on the file you would like to send and select send to bluetooth then to your profile. This is best if used with smaller files such as cabs. Hope this helps. Works for me.

Good idea. I didn't think about that. You can download WM5torage to do the same thing. It'll turn your PocketPC into a portable drive.
If you have wireless you can user simple file sharing on the computer and see the share on pocket via Resco Expl. or Windows Commander. : \\pc_name\disk_share. If you want to made file transfer like cabs or music, movies it's very simple and you don't need card reader blablabla...
Right know I want to made the revers way to share the PPC to PC.
Any ideea?
I found a version of a DLNA server for a Samsung omina 2, messed around a bit with it and it works on my HD2, connecting from Windows7.
Although I'm sure the server app allows you to conf. the setting via http I can't get into this. When you fire up the server it creates an html file to access the setting but I can't get the browser to connect. (hopefully someone my have better luck)
Anyway I have configured it manually in the samsung-mediaserver.ini file and moded the network adaptor list for the HD2.
Just copy it to your storage card and launch the SamsungMediaServer.exe.
It is set up to get the media from \Storage Card\My Document

Dear Mcc05,
Thanks for the efforts. May i kindly request if you can give us brief info on how to connect from win7 to hd2 with this DLNA server? Thanks in advance...
Best Regards
Copy the contents of the zip file in post 1 to your phone.

if you need to change the location of your media edit the samsung-mediaserver.ini file in the DLNA directory.
Once on your phone simply use file explorer to launch the samsungmediaserver.exe.
Now to get it seen under windows 7, make sure you wi-fi is on and your phone is connected to the same network as your win7 pc.
If so simply go to start/network and you should see you hd2 in the list of media devices, click on it and it sholud open WMP as show the content of your media library on your phone.
Hope that helps.

Are you still using this program? I would like a DLNA server for my TP2. I think everyone has forgotten about DLNA on a windows mobile phone.
Thanks - works well. Needed to adjust the ini file but instructions provided are helpful.
Nice find!
Now, how do you disable it? I extracted the files, started samsungmediaserver.exe, but then I got nothing on the screen. I found that a process called samsungmediaserver was running (and taking 11-14 % CPU), but I couldn't kill it using that particular task manager (the default HTC task manager).
I was just going to check what the application looks like, and I didn't have WiFi turned on on the phone, and neither a Win7 PC available to check if I could connect to the phone.
Should there be some kind of a GUI on the app?
What about a Windows Mobile DLNA client?
I'd like to access my media served by a Windows 7 PC.
Thank You,
Bye

WaW, nice! Is it possible to make / mode this for XPERIA X1?

Good app but I haven't worked out either how to switch it off - once enabled it keeps the wifi & CPU active and starts chewing through the battery.
haven't tried it or anything - but a soft reset should kill the app?
PocketNow did a brief write-up & review of this app, including a basic "How to:" guide.

The samsung-config.html is referring to h t t p://x.x.x.x/setup.htm.
Any change to obtain this setup.htm? I will do a search on an Omnia device.
Thanks
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the xbox 360. It does not pick up the HD2. My archos 5 media tablet does and it streams great just not the Xbox.
Cheers
Hello
I don't know for the xbox 360.
I've got a problem : that's work but the photo quality is very poor when i stream the photo with this software.
do you how to change the quality of the photo in the ini file ?
I test it with a popcorn a110.
Regards
I will do a research too for the html connect. Possible some know how what i have get from the wifi remote app can help.
This is Brilliant i can stream music movies to my tv via wdtvlive. anybody know a way to use it as a client, ive got two nas drives and i cant get the HD2 to connect to any of them i can see them on the network ping them but cannot access them, but one has a dlna server. much apreciated.
Hi.
First time using this apps was correct and normally. I saw the HD2 icon on network page on PC. But after then , the icon's name changed to
SamsungMobileServer(HTC39) and can't access to my files.
I mean the apps worked correctly just for the first time.
Any help?
Thanks.
Just use desire hd roms ,dlna works perfect
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Thanks,this works great on my on my HD2 WM,it connects and streams videos pics etc.even two rooms away.well done,
nice work
is it possible to access the music playlists on my pc with the hd2 over wifi?
I don't think play lists will work, but using as different file manager such as resco you can map network drives and play music from them.I do this with both a music and a video folder using resco.
i cant see my pc as a device on my wifi list. want to know how to cennect my hd2 to the pc using wifi. i am using my home wifi network with no problems.
No you wont see it as a device
On your PC, share a folder with some music in it, , lets say your pc is called 'comp' and the folder is called 'muzic'. Share that folder, then on your phone, (using resco, i dont use anything else but the principle is the same)
on your phone, in resco you go to 'my network', click 'map network drive' and you should see your pc as an item on your network. click that, it should show the shared folder muzik and you should be able to click that to set it as a mapped folder. If you have username/password on your pc, it will ask for that info.
On mine, it doesn't always show properly the network shares, so i have to put the shared folder in manually, using \\comp\muzik
wow that is amazing, thx for that. I can access all folders from my pc and view/listen to them directly on the hd2 using wifi including pictures, documents and music.
I continue to be impressed with this phone.
An iPhone user recently showed me that he could control his music collection from his phone and get it to play through his sound system from the pc. I dont suppose there is anything similar in winmo?
heh yea. love it.
I'm sure you can probably do the control stuff, maybe win media player can do it, or maybe media center has an extender.I never do stuff like that so I cant help there.
you can always go down the remote desktop method of control.
Ok. I have a wifi network at home, and attached to that I have a WDmybook Network storage device that all of my laptops and desktop get movies and mp3's from. I want to be able to view avi's over my wireless network on my HD2. I AM able to browse the network and SEE the media files in the file system, BUT I cannot play them. I just upgraded my handset from HTC-SHadow and was hoping with winmo 6.5 this could be done.. also, it would be cool if I could watch my DVD's that I have ripped and stored on the NAS as well.. that would be awesome..
thank so much in advance..
I Have the same question, I also use SamsungMedia without sucess. Any idea ?
The solution is TCPMP
Google TCPMP, I would post a link, but I am new and this system does not allow it..
TCPMP is a WinMO app that plays meda over a wireless LAN. Just install the cab, then open it.. you can find it installed in the Start Menu, then click the + sign to open the file browser, drill down through your network and click the file and enjoy.
If you are browsing over your wifi LAN, you must use UNC path
\\device-name\folder\video.avi
SO in my scerario, I do this
\\WD-MYBOOK\video\video10.avi
The cool thing is that once you close TCPMP, and you open it back uip later, it opens in the same directory you were in before.
My needs have been satisfied.
Is this software preaty much busted for everyone? I have seen lots on net but not in these forums I am guessing not many people use it. well it loads and sees my n.a.s. device but wont files from it. or if it does load files will only load the picture files and not the movie or music.
Is anyone else having this problem with this software? If so go to market download upnplay as your client and mobo player as your media player unless you have updated to 3.1 then mobo player has stopped working with acers on 3.1 you will have to use rock player.
but with upnplay and rock payer the iconia is a strong wireless media server I stream movies from mu n.a.s. over wifi and plays perfect great for watching movies in bed. just wish acers software would work.
why is it all stock software is junk?
oh side note something very cool you can do with the iconia is use it as a n.a.s. media server I have one of the new samsung wifi enabled stero recivers and it picks up the iconia as a n.a.s device(once you enable it in the menu) so anything i have stored on the iconia will play right through the reciever wirelessly. is great i loaded the iconia up with music and then i can just leave it lay around anywhere and play all the music off it through the home stero with no wires. same with movies or pictures. I love tech
I have not gotten Clear.fi to see any of my DLNA servers, so yeah, I'd say it's more-or-less complete trash. Then again, I find the whole DLNA thing very, very limited and useless anyways.
Works absolutely fine here. What are you using for your DLNA server? I use Windows Media Player on Windows 7 and that works great.
Works for me but I have kid installed only windows machine that has the share maps.I also use this machine with my web hosting account.and can access the shared drives and info anywhere I can get net or my LAN/wifi. Linked to the latest media player updates and let it auto scan for all your media is the trick
But yes Acer clear fi is really useless
Wrong forum but Netflix rocked even tethered to my cheap zip cell phone on cricket carier

Well, I know it works fine with WMP and Windows 7, so it's probably an issue either with Mediatomb, or your OS not liking Clear.fi.
Ya works here as well.
Launch Clear.fi - start WMP, navigate to a500 and everything on the tab is accessible. Music, video, pictures... (depending on how you set it up of course)
You can also r-click a file, select properties, get the address to that file (IP+PORT+FILENAME) and open it in your browser.
Thank you all for the kind feedback. But, I think you over looked one point to my question and that is that i cant get clear.fi to see media over wireless on a n.a.s. (network attached storage device). It sees the media server (linksys router) and the attached mass storage device. It will also see all the picture files on the storage unit but if you try to open video or music it syas the device is disconected?
No other device on my network has any problems seeing the hard drive attached to the routers media server except the acer CLEAR.fi software.
But like I said before other clients like upnplay see and play the media files just fine on the acer. so must be the clear.fi software.
IM not using a comp as the server like the other replys IM useing a wireledd networ attached storage device and clear.fi is suppose to be able to work with wireless servers. It sees it but wont access the files so.....
I'm confused.
My understanding is that the Clear.fi application on our tabs is the streaming source for the media on the tab. It's pitched as a media sharing service. So, using it on the tab just means that the media on your tab is accessible from networked PC's and other devices - not the other way around (unless they too have Clear.fi installed)
At least, that's my understanding.
It reads to me that you're trying to get Clear.fi to 'see' media outside of the tablet environment and I don't believe it's suppose to do that.

Hmm. Here "Clear.fi" on the A500 was advertised as a DLNA-client. If it's a client then it should obviously play media. That's why I'm so confused; why advertise it as a client if it isn't one? And what's the point in sharing media ON the tablet when it's got so little storage, wouldn't it make more sense to play the media stored on your other devices on the tablet instead? I mean, you can HARDLY store much media on it, but you can easily store hundreds of gigabytes of stuff on any consumer-grade DLNA-server.
Meh. I feel so confused.

That's the thing though - I think it 'can' be a client but only within the Clear.fi environment - that is to say, unless another device (say, a network connected PC) has Clear.fi installed and is streaming, the tablet can't connect to it to browse media files via Clear.fi.
I don't think Clear.fi is available as a stand alone application/download yet. It seems to me it's only bundled with Acer hardware for the time being.
Clear.fi works both ways, you can stream from the tab to the pc or from the pc to the tab. I have a home built pc with win7 on it and it will stream movies,pics and music to and from the tab. In win7 you need to go to "network and sharing" and "allow" it
I use clear.fi all the time both as a server and client. I can access my A500 on both my Windows 7 machines through WMP and can access media stored on both comps with my A500. All I had to do was set up Homeshare through WMP on my PCs, give access to my media files and I was up and running. As far as accessing my NAS drive, I have the drive mapped on my comps and shared so I can access it. I never could access it directly with clear.fi, but no big issue since I worked around it. I use it fairly often for watching videos in bed on my tablet. Of course, with netflix now working, I suspect that I'll do most of my late night viewing through it.
Well, I can't get Clear.fi to see my Mediatomb DLNA-server no matter what I do. PS3, XMBC and even my mobile phone however sees it just fine so the problem clearly lies in Clear.fi. Not that I'm too surprised, Acer isn't known for making quality software.
LOL I have always found if funny how threads go off on thier own direction and never answer or address the original question. Yes clear.fi is an acer only program as it made by acer. yes it is supose to be both server and client. Yes it can and will see media out side clear.fi only software and devices (or at least it is suppose too) acording to the web page. but none of these were my question.
Has anyone else tried to access media on a n.a.s. (network attached storage device) ? My clear.fi sees the device and gains access but will only play back picture files. If I try to access movies or music it justtells me the device is disconnected!
From what I am reading here everyone is juststreaming media to and from thier p.c's that aspect of mine works. what im wanting to know is if anyone here uses a stand alone media server on a wireless network? NOT a computer!
I have a linksys router wireless n dual band That you connect a hard drive to and it runs a media server from the router so all wireless devices can access media on the hard drive right through the router no need for a computer.
Everything i have sees the server and media just fine xbox,ps3,computer, nook color yes my nook color even sees it and plays the media. my wifi stereo and t.v all see and play the media just fine everythig except the iconia's clear.fi
I called acer and the confirmed it is suppose to be able to as well but mine does not. mine sees he server and will read picture files but that is it, so as it sees the server and does read some files i know its not my settingas on my network.
I really just wanted to know if anyone else has and luck with streaming media from a network storage device not other computers.
if you are having this same problem the solution i found is to not use clear.fi as I cant get it to work. I downloaded upnplay as the client and it works perfect so i know its not the iconia either it has to be the clear.fi software.
anyway if you have this same problem use pnplay instead as your client and if your on 3.1 stock rom mobo player dosent work on acer anymore so you'll have to use something different like rockplayer as your media player.

Sorry, I don't own anything such and can't help you.
I have two different N.A.S devices, a Linksys and D-Link and having the same problem here, the Clear.fi software can see both of them but says it cannot connect to them.
Going to mess around with some settings later and see if I can get something to work, since Upnplay works perfectly I really haven't messed around with Clear.fi much
What OS are you guys (trying to get Clear.fi to access NAS) using?
I might be wrong but I think Clear.fi can only access NAS in a W7 environment.
btw, a little google search and I found a way to properly access files on my PC via Clear.fi on the tab.
You have to have WMP running and under each tab in the left dropdown pane make sure you map the approrpiate folders - so, for Music - r-click Music > Manage Music Library and Add the folder(s) you want to be able to access from the tab. Same for Pictures, Videos etc...
Make sure the Stream (tab in the top toolbar) is setup accordingly, then launch Clear.fi and it should see everything you 'Added'.
So the only caveat here is that you have to have the PC on and WMP running with the correct folders added and sharing setup correctly.

Gammarascal your missing the point same as all the other replies. we are not tring to access files on a pc. os is irrelavant. we are tring to access files from the network storage from our android tablets. the network stroage is not hook to any pc that is why it is called a network attached storage device. and clear .fi is suposse to access N.A.S devices weather or not you even have a P.C. in the house.
The P.C. is not a factor here.
I have come to the conclusion clear.fi is junk. should not be all that trouble to set something up and still have it not work. downloaded upnplay and all i did was open it and there was my files no setting up needed easy peasy... upnplay works on my nook color as well.
Have never understood why one small software developer can make a app that just works right out the gate but these big compaines make software that needs to be set up, tweeked, fooled with, crashed, reloaded, unistalled, reinstalled, re tweeked and then it might work.
Oh well thansk guys but im done with clear.fi..... upnplay does what I want and no setup required or software on comps.
Same thing here. I have a LaCie NAS and a TwonkyMedia dlna server under Fedora 15. Clear.fi see both of them but is unable to connect.
I guess clear.fi can only connect to a windows computer.
