Hi Everyone,

I lost all Internet access during a call. WiFi Tethering went and then I lost all access.

That sucks.

I'm using the wireless tethering for root user, the newest one for the facinate.

Share files through a created wifi hotspot

So I had this idea for a longer time now.
I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.
Is this possible?
It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.
But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.
The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?
Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.
It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?

DLNA
If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.

Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.

I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.

I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.
When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.
Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.

Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.
A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.
That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.
Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...
Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.

Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.
Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?
That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!

Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.

So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.
I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.
I just get some error that its not availible.
Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.
If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.

Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.
Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)
An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.

I just send files back and forth with bluetooth. No 3g connection required.

Sadly I don't have a Bluetooth USB stick and Joseph (wtf fail autocorrect: iOs) doesn't allow filetransfair for Bluetooth.

That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.

Jep i know that.
Its called ibluenova and it didn't even work on 3.x, it was quite buggy. on ios 4.x it doesn't work at all.
so that is no option.

When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.

Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.
When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)
Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.
I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.

file expert its working very nicely.
Only problem is that it uses data.
sent from my galaxy tab

Hi Diemex
Are you sure it's "using data"?
File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.
Glad it's working for you.

Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.
The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.
Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.
Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

Google sync error on one of my WiFi networks? PLEASE HELP!

Anybody else having sync error issues on your google accounts on the Nexus 7? I have 2 WiFi networks in my house, on of them works with the syncing with Google's servers and the other(when I switch it) has Google sync error. When there is a sync error, I am unable to connect to the YouTube app, Google Play app, Gmail app. And plus I cannot search anything up on the address bar of Google Chrome app, I would have to search things up on Google.com then access the websites from there. However this only happens on my second WiFi network. But since my second WiFi network is the farthest reaching WiFi, it gives me 2 bars in my room rather than 1 bar with the first WiFi network.
The things I have done to solve this error is to clear Google Play Services data,Google Play app data, Google services framework data,gmail app data and YouTube app data. I have also rebooted my 2 routers various times but still no avail.
Can someone please tell me the issue here, is it my second WiFi network or is it Google's servers conflicting with my second WiFi network?
I have the Asus nexus 7 2012 rooted btw

One or more of your google services are having sync problem. For me restart or waiting few minutes resolves the issue. Try disabling all the google sync services and turn on one by one and see which one is having issues.
If u can use browser and surf web easily then ur dns are not causing problem if u face web surfing to be a problem too then try changing ur dns too.
If all els fails try resetting ur device and just login into google services and try using then without installing any thing and if that works then u must have installed some app that might be causing problems if not then u my friend need a proper diagnostic to check which thing is causing problem.

Finally, some help, the problem with the second WiFi connection network is that the tablet is that I can't directly go to a website or Google something through the Google chrome app address bar, I would have to type it though Google.com. (Google.com only works on the address bar) I really don't feel like resetting my tablet because people who had this same problem reseted their nexus 7s and the issue was not solved. However these problems started occurring once I downloaded recovery tools app so I could use twrp to update to android 4.4 which I still have issues on too.
Can you inform me on how to fix DNS issues on my nexus 7 or my network?

Remove your wifi network from wifi menu and then add it back again but on password screen click on "show advance options" enter your network info there menually and enter google dns in DNS 1&2
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
it should fix the dns issue.

http 400 is usually due to the "HTTP status code" or "the bad syntax" , Are you on a custom ROM? Any MOD to DNS server setting on your phone ?
