Hi there,
If you are familiar with winmo 6.5 then no doubt that you would have had resco explorer installed and perhaps utilised the network section. What some of may or may not know is that once you created your network links so to speak to your LAN, you could then export that as a proper folder in the normal directory. This was really handy for streaming media files via any media player as you could just go straight to the folder, as it would be in the windows dir.
I wondered if there was some sort of counterpart for android. So far I have used ES file explorer which is great but when trying to play any media type it adopts for its own or tries to download it, which is not what I want. AndroXplorer can creat shortcuts to network folders but the shortcuts cant be moved to the android root dir.
Hope you can understand this, any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome! Thanks again.

Ok, I need help here.
I managed to put up a WiFi Network on my PC and got everything working.
Browsing the internet, for 1, second i can look up browse everything on my Shared Drive (mostly Media Files)
The Problem is that i can't open any of these Files on my JAM including .JPG, Wav, and MP3 Files.
I can play those File extensions on my JAM, so i know the file Format is not the hot issue here.
Any help is appreciated......i looked on this Forum, but no help.
Try using Resco File Explorer, it should allow you to open files on your Jam. I couldn't get the built in file browser to open files over my network.
Thanks will Try that
There is a Bluetooth Explorer application for PPC,but not for smartphone. So I extracted the Bluetooth Explorer for SP from the dumped Vox ROM.
It needs the built-in File Explorer in your Smartphone,so it does not working on WM2003.It`s for WM5/6.
Overview of Bluetooth Explorer
Bluetooth Explorer lets you exchange files using Bluetooth with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Note: Bluetooth Explorer works the same way as File Explorer.
To launch Bluetooth Explorer
Tap > Programs > Bluetooth Explorer. Bluetooth Explorer then scans for visible Bluetooth devices you can connect to. From the list, select the Bluetooth device you want to connect to.
Note: You may need to enter a Passcode in order for you to connect to the device.
To use Bluetooth Explorer
If there are shared files in the Bluetooth shared folder on the other device, you will be able to see those files on the Bluetooth Explorer screen. You can then do the following:
Copy or delete files.
Create a new folder.
Paste a file into the folder.
For example,with StarTrek I can see the files on my Nokia N73.
Cool thanks! This could be very handy.

It doesn't work.
I just copy the .cab file in the Programs folder and then run it.
The installation goes without any problem but the program does anything when I launch it.
Some .dll files to register?
Some libraries missing?
I don't know.
My device is a Samsung i320 with WM5.

It's HTC Bluetooth FTP Explorer,for HTC devices only.
I suspected that but I wanted trying anyway...
Mersì for the elucidation.
Gubbài.
Someone who read this 3D tell to oldsap that this application works only on HTC devices 'cos in the post of his site (where there's a description of this application and link that points here) he doesn't specify that.
If oldsap himself read this, please correct/adds what I experienced, that's it doesn't work on a "normal" (I mean a non-HTC device) WM5.
Mersì bo q.
Gubbài.
Hi
this cab doesn't work even on a HTC startrek / qtek 8500 with WM6 and WM5 rom.
displays files and folders but can't copy them (nothing happens and files are not copied)
also does not show bluetooth FTP Settings menu to adjust things like FTP shared folder on the phone.
maybe you missed out a few reg's or files?
We have already implemented the support for Microsoft Bluetooth stack and tested it on Smartphones. Unfortunately we have currently no time for releasing the new Smartphone version. I believe that it will be ready in 1 or 2 months.
I have the 3VO rom on the htc snap and when connected to my win 7 pc I can not locate the /windows directory. I of course have the option to view hidden files checked but this was to no avail.
Hi there,
That is perfectly normal if you are trying to see it from the win7 mobile device center. Bill doesn't want you to mess with the system files. In order to access this directory, you have several options :
- install a proper file explorer such as Total commander or Resco file explorer on you device, and do it from there
- I think Mymobiler allows you to access this directory from the PC. Needs a check though, I uninstalled this program that kind of bugged me. see http://www.mymobiler.com/manual.aspx
Anyway, I would assume your problem does not come from the 3vo ROM.
I have created a folder on my external sd card named Movies.
I use Moboplayer, and have pre-set it to only view that folder when opened. But, after viewing any of the files in the sd card folder, the folder and files are displayed in Gallery. How can I prevent that from happening?
Or, put another way, I want to store some video files on my external sd card
and want to be the only one who is able to view them?
create a file in that directory called .nomedia that will prevent it being scanned by Gallery
Thanks, I'll try that later today and report back.

As a beginner with Android, I'm not sure I know how to do what you said to do.
Can you please tell me the easiest way to create that file? Thanks again.
Sure. Open an adb shell. Change to the directory you want the file in. Type "touch .nomedia "
Press enter
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
As an Android beginner, I have no idea what or how to use and adb shell.
Does it require that the Tab be Rooted?
Can I use a file manager like Astro?
Can I open the folder on my win xp desktop and create the file om the sd card with windows explorer?
Sorry to be so dense here, but, I am trying to learn what to do.

Get the free ES File Explorer from the store. You can do all the MS Windows-esque file management with that.
What is going to prevent someone else from launching Mobo and seeing the same files that you do?
I do have ES File Explorer installed, and didn't find a way to create a new file in that folder. Can you please suggest what to do when I get to the folder in question? Thanks.
As for your question about others using Mobo, is there a way to password protect a give app?

Ok, es 101: the key to finding everything is the menu button that spears on the dock in es. From there you can select new> folder.
android/linux 101: any file or folder named starting with a period is deemed "hidden". An example would be a folder called .media. Because the name behind with a period, it is now hidden. To show hidden file, go into es file explorer settings, and check "show hidden files"
...and if you don't want to play with renaming folders every time, try Hide It Pro from the market. You set a password that is required to open the app. It disguise itself as a fake audio manager. You just need to browse to the file you need to hide and select "share with audio manager". There's a really good guide inside the app when you install it but its rather simple Works great on Iconia.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro&feature=search_result
It also displays adds but its free and your hidden content is just a "click" away You can hide any file type compared to Photo Vault and Video Vault (they support only several file formats and they are paid apps)
Use a file manager such as astro, and change the format of the video to a format that doesn't exist by renaming it, for example: video.avi ----> video.uitpo, then the video won't be shown in gallery or anywhere else, and whenever you wanna view the video just change the format back to what it was.

I have created a file in my directory named .nomedia
But, when the Acer is powered off and started up again, all the files in this directory show up in the Gallery again. That approach doesn't seem to work for me.
Hi! all. recently i have this problem copying large video files from windows explorer to the iconia. everytime i copy & paste a large file such as 1 or 2gb, windows explorer will stop functioning & restart. i notice that small files such as pix & mp3 do not have this issue. but if a folder that is 1gb in size with lotsa pix or music in it is transfered, the same thing will occur. i tried wifi file transfer but it keeps getting disconnected halfway & i have to redo the whole process again. anyone can help?
What I recommend is getting ES File Explorer from, the market, its free. Then share, say your home folder over the network in windows, as ES can access Samba file share. Then copy and paste within ES instead of your computer not only does it work wonderfully, but you aren't tethered to your home computer and you don't have to use Acers terrible driver Lemme know if it works.
Even easier, withthe File Expert (free), yuu don't have to have a permanent network share, it has a web interface for transfering to and from the tablet. It also has root access, so no need for a separate root explorer.
same with es on root access. I find sharing a folder easier for me, but thats just me.
