Has anyone run into the issue detailed here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8608679
Audiogalaxy has now become a legit music streaming app, which is supposed to work surprisingly well. But due to its past it seems like CM6 blocks it from the host files.
There is a fix to update the host files but the instructions in that thread are detailed for a n1, anyone have any idea how we could get that done on a HD2 rom?
I'd love to figure this out as well!
I'm guessing you could put those host files somewhere in the Android file on the SD card. I just can't figure out where. What is the program that is blocking ads? I'm using Shubcraft 1.5.
Ok. So I got it working on mine. I downloaded the host files. I extracted the the "hosts.txt" file. I turned on my phone and the following before I booted up my android: I followed the path through my mobile device while connected to my computer (Active Sync or Pocket PC...as a side note, this is the first time I've been able to use either on my Mac because it wouldn't detect the usb, but VirtualBox just fixed that bug). SD card -> Android-> System -> Etc. I copied the "hosts.txt" in the Etc folder and saved. Booted up Android and Voila!
With my HTC Inspire 4G I plug in the USB cable and it pops up as a drive to transfer files onto (ie movies), however with the galaxy tab 10.1 it doesn't. I rooted it on a windows machine, so wondering how to make it a USB drive when I plug in, so I can transfer movies and files from my Mac.
Anyone?
It doesn't mount as a USB drive on a Mac - you have to use this utility to put files on the device.
Apparently I'm too new auser to post a link so I'll write it out:
android dot com forward-slash filetransfer

good find with the app, but it doesn't work. when I plug in it just says "No Android device found" and on the tablet it says Connected - Press home button to quit keys... but it doesn't mount a drive or open up file transfer box. Am I missing something?
Same here - AFT doesn't work on Snow Leopard, much less Lion. Please tell me that you, or someone else has discovered a solution since this post three months ago?
I believe there is a thread on this in the development section. But to answer your question anyways, you simply need to go to Samsung's support website and after entering your product model, go to the downloads section and install the Kies software for Mac. Unfortunately you must use this version of Kies since the GT 10.1 can't be mounted as mass storage on Macs.
Guys, use Websharing. Look for it in the market. Basically turns Tab into a web server on the network accessible via any web browser.
That's what I use. Android File Transfer (AFT) does not work, and Apple broke/changed something in their AFP. I used to use the LAN feature in Estrongs until Lion came out and borked that.

AFT will not work because it is built using a library of libmtp that is too old for the Galaxy Tab. Hopefully Google will update it soon to support the Galaxy Tab.
I tried to compile libmtp to support it, but couldn't get it to work. I'll try again when I'm not busy and see what happens.
In the meantime, you can use Samsung Kies software, or DDMS if you have the android SDK

Not a mac guy but had the same problem on my pc. Ended up installing Remote Web Desktop (Smartdog studio) from android marketplace on the tab. It's free. Then used filezilla (or any other ftp program) from my pc. Worked great, so no more worries about USB connectivity.
I recently bought a tab 8.9 and I was very disappointed by this problem. I'm going through FTP right now.
Is it possible to enable normal file transfer if I root my tablet?
theres a way..but u need to have ADB ..also need to be home to let u know..
there is this ADB tool app that u run and it will detect ur tab..i got mine detected mine is 10.1
I've never really understood this problem - is it something that will be sorted it with the newer Android firmwares such as 3.2? I had a Vega running vegacomb 3.2 and that mounted on the Mac without a problem.
Use File Expert, they have a built in FTP & websharing. It works great with a FTP app on the Mac.

I tried turn on and off several times. Before and after Kies opening every possibility just not work. But until at last it just can sync with Kies by itself. I really don't understand how can it work.
Any way via Kies you can only music, photo and video. You have any idea how to push PDF files into it??
i use adb push for putting everything on my tablet....its a lot easier than waiting for Kies.
I have mac and use this method for file transfer to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 :
-install android-sdk-mac_x86 from Android developers site.
-open 'tool' folder and search for ddms ( android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/ddms )
-connect your galaxy tab to mac via usb
-dubbleclick on ddms (it will start terminal and java) new window 'Dalvik Debug Monitor will open
-click on your device listed in this new window
-from file menu open Device -> File Explorer
-new window with folders of your Galaxy tab will pop up
- navigate to any folder on your device and just drag and drop any file from your computer finder window.
it is easiest way to transfer files from Mac to your Galaxy Tab 10.1 via USB

+1 on the File Expert Method.
Download FE (free) and Cyberduck (free) unless you already have a FTP server/client program.
Turn on sharing via FTP on tab, then enter in the settings on Cyberduck, and voila! Wirelessly connected on your local net.
Just drag and drop any file to any directory. I've loaded multiple items ranging from 100mb to 1.34gb in minutes. movies, pics, pdfs, you name it.
I feel this is the easiest of all, and kies actually works for me!

Thanks a lot!
Given the MTP limitation on the GT 7.7, the only "stock" way to get data onto the Tab is via Kies.
A much more elegant solution is to install "Samba Filesharing" (free app on Android Market) which turns the GT 7.7 into a full SMB server that you can mount -- I did so with my MacBook Air. You can then copy files across via WiFi (no USB cable!).
You may need to perform the SD card hack listed elsewhere in this forum to write to the SD card when it's mounted (even via SMB)...I didn't have any luck until I did that.
Of course there are other alternatives such as Dropbox (or my fave Sugarsync) but these require a sync to the cloud and then a download, which both eat into your broadband data (caps) if you're worried about such things.
Just thought I would share!
Why not use AirDroid? Imo the best tool out there. And you can manage SMS, contacts,... everything too with it!
^ I tried AD and don't like the web interface. The nice thing about Samba is that it's integrated into the Finder so you can use the native file copy tools. Makes batch copying a breeze.
Thanks for this info, I always assumed that the Tab7.7 also had the debug mode where I can just plug it in like the Galaxy phones, any links to that mounting options for the Sd card?
adb push anyone?

Unfortunately not. MTP mode only. If you are on Windows, you can still use explorer to copy, but on Macs you must use Kies...which is why Samba is a better option for me.
Id prefer a file copy over wireless so I need to know how to use that Samba thing..
ES file manager allows you to administer files from the tab and access network shares including streaming 1080p mkv files. Pretty nifty, but doesn't mount the tab.
What's the speed of "Samba Filesharing" ?
I use DooBlou Wifi file explorer (was one of Amazon.com's free apps of the day) to dump files from my Mac to the Tab. You have to be rooted to write to the external SD card, as with other non-bundled apps, however.
adb push
adb wifi
webkey
ES File Explorer
Just browsing our the android section under apps and themes. Just ran across an amazing little app that lets me transfer files back and forth between device-pc or device-device.
File transfer wasn't working for me with ics so this is a nice alternative for that. Its actually faster than my usb connection. App is called xlink. Computer just have to support muilticasts

link is not working
Should be working now. If not the app is called x-link located in the android apps and themes general section.
Yeah, your link is 404.
Anyway, on the same note of ICS USB transport problems, I found this little PC program that does the trick, it's called Droid Explorer.
Once installed, it recognizes your Note immediately when connected via USB cable, and let's you do all kinds of stuff - transfer files both ways, access all partitions, install/uninstall apps, boot Note into recovery/download etc.
Nice little thing.
Ok, here is the problem I need to solve:
I have Nexus Player and external SSD I want to use as a storage.
I know that I can connect it to Nexus Player directly and play media from it by using ES file manager and Kodi.
I was able to share a folder on my laptop and NP has access and can play media from that with no issue.
The problem is that I have not found anything online on whether it is possible to connect an external storage to NP and then share it. In my particular case, I want to have the ability to upload files from my PC directly to that storage and then play it from NP.
All previous similar topics seem to focus on connecting that external drive directly to network (NAS), but I do not have that option.
Any help appreciated.
Some additional information I was able to gather - via Remote manager in ES file Manager you can enable access to Nexus Palyer files, but this is via ftp only, which is not ideal.
It seems that there's no other access allowed.
You can use Sambadroid as fileserver and share your storage. For me sambadroid is only working with lollirock rom. Didnt start with rooted 5.1.1 or 6.0.
