Hello,
I just downloaded Samsung Flow through Windows Store and now when I try to open it it says that the computer does not meed minimum system requirements to run Samsung Flow... I have MSI GT72 laptop which is new and running original Windows 10 Home. I have latest update that enabled installing Samsung Flow already installed...
Thank you very much for all your help and answers, I really appreciate it.
Same goddamn problem here as well.
S7 Edge + ASUS ROG notebook. Both updated up the wazoo.
My Windows 10 version is 15063.413 which is exactly the minimum threshold. But I still get the same error.
When has this been released for all PC's? I bought a bt stick but until now wasn't able to even download it... Have to check later to see if it's now online
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------
Ok, I can now install it. Seems you need a tpm module. On the Samsung g website you can download a driver. On trying to install it, I get an error concerning tpm...
Hey there. I tri3d the same thing. The TPM chip is hard wired to the motherboard. If your PC didn't come with it. You can't use Samsung Flow.
More Desktops and Business Pcs have the TPM chip, I work in IT so I see them on Lenovo and Dell PCs for business all the time. It pissed me off when it wouldn't work on my HP 15 as well due to the same error.
I have seen some people are able to emulate TPM via software, but that is way above my level of expertise
I can't make my setup work either. I actually have TPM enabled and working using a Dell Latitude E7440. The app and driver installed fine but when I pair my devices via the Flow app the pairing does not stick. I enabled PIN authentication in Windows as well and nothing. Every time I click on "Register Device" I get a prompt to re-authenticate the Bluetooth connection itself. The handshake does not happen and I am not prompted for a PIN. Nice try by Samsung but major fail in implementation.
FWIW, I have a Lenovo Yoga 900 and it works flawlessly. I'm actually extremely surprised but apart from being able to swipe the fingerprint sensor on S8 to unlock Windows 10 it has a window that mirrors your phone notifications so you can action/respond on your computer. Also there's a way to send files from the computer to the phone by dragging and dropping. Overall it's not bad at all
OMG port to LG G5 xD
I updated my windows and now having the same problem. It Samsung flow was working on my computer now it tells me it can't
FWIW, I was receiving the same error till I enabled bluetooth on the laptop.
I can't get it to install because it keeps prompting me to download and install the driver. Can't ever get to pair the phone.

I sent them the logs two days ago. Haven't heard back from them yet.
Just for the heck of it I tried it on two other computers. My Surface Pro 3 and another computer that I'm just using as a 24TB NAS drive.
None of them work. I'm thinking it's an issue with the app itself.

Hi,
So here's what I want to do:
I have a folder on my pc with files in it. I want that to sync that with a Cloud storage type system online. Then I want a folder on my Touch Pro 2 to sync with that online folder. Now I know what your thinking and before you flame me with stuff like dropbox, sugarsync, mesh, myphone etc... they can't do that. They sync from pc to online just fine, but then on the tp2 I have to navigate to the web to retrieve files, or with sugarsync there is an app to install and I can load the app and download the files to a folder that way. I don't want to do that. I want a folder to always stay sync'd. I've search all over and can't find that kind of functionality. This would be real handy in a scenario where i need to constantly sync 5 or more phones together with multiple pc's. I don't want to tell the user, ok go to www.getdropbox.com or load this or load that...
I hope I am just missing something and it does exsist.
Live Mesh does exactly what you are talking about. Just leave it running if you need it constantly updated rather than just when you run it. That is the exact purpose of Live Mesh...

Unless i missed something, then it only works that way if your able to install mesh and sign in on your phone. I didnt think they were accepting anymore ppl for testing on mobile devices. I installed it and checked just to see. Without this, your forced to grab files from the web.
I can't get the live mesh program to work on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. It lets me enter my login info and then crashes while logging in. Is there something I'm missing?

No clue about why it would crash. It doesn't matter anyway, you can't use it. It's closed to new people.
Anyone have any thoughts about the actual topic of this thread? There has to be a way... No one needs to do this?!

It's not closed. You just need to activate your mesh account for windows mobile which involves clicking on a specific link. I did it and I got the client installed and working. Works great! But wouldn't want to deviate from the actual topic of this thread...

How would that be deviating? If there is a way to get into Mesh and it's not closed, that would potentially directly solve the original post.

I will report if this works. Thanks!
it definitely worked for me. you'll see that windows mobile becomes an option in your mesh after visiting this link. but getting the program to validate on your device (touch pro 2) is hit or miss. i just had to try it many times and finally it worked. then there is also an issue of the program crashing upon startup that i mentioned above. i've narrowed that down to being related to the memory card. the program will start if i remove the memory card prior to executing it. i can then put the memory card back in while the program is in the login screen and it works. still trying to find a better solution. let me know if you have any luck.

Been playing with it all night. So far it's working flawlessly. No crashes at all. I have a 8gb storage card. It's sync'd to and from 1 other verizon phones, and 4 pc's... It's cool, you take a pic with your phone and voila it's on my wife's phone too, as well as the mobile picture directory at home. Would love to help you get it working too. Have you checked out this forum?
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMesh/threads
You can also use Remote Touch. It doesn't sync, but it does allow you to transfer files remotely, back and forth from your desktop and your phone. And of course, you get the added benefit of controlling your desktop remotely with your phone.
When I'm in a hurry to leave the office I'll queue a bunch of files in RemoteTouch and have my phone download them while I'm on the road.

Can you tell me the exact phone you have? Is it the Verizon touch pro 2? Maybe it's my brand of memory card? It's definitely good when it's working.
Also, did you have any trouble validating the phone on the mesh? Took me several attempts and it seems other people had the same issue. I have been to the site you linked a little bit but maybe more research is in order.

can you tell me if the live mesh client is running robustly on your touch pro2? i had tons of crashes the last time i messed with this. haven't tried it since. most of the problems i had are documented in this thread.
For the op, there is a Schaps Network plugin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67564. It may do what you want, too. Not sure. Just making a suggestion.

No, I certainly couldn't say "robustly." It's more like "haphazardly."
All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.

I'd probably agree. I put that line in their for a MOD to move them if applicable. Now that I decided to dive into this, if a MOD moves this, might you be able to join my ROM flashing video with this one?
Thanks.
My company uses Cisco VPN along with RSA SecurID.
I've tried other "solutions" in the past with no success.
Will this process work in my situation?
I have access to all the settings from a .pcf configuration file.
When I had an iPhone, VPN worked perfectly (not that I'd go back to an iPhone just for that ).
The VPN Connections applications allows for a secure token so I think it may work. The SecureID just gives you a token correct? And then you input it for access?
If you watch near the end of video 2 I show you that application and there is clearly a field for token input. You should not need the .pcf file for the phone. I would think you would just input the current token each time.
I tried it and the connection fails every time.
Went through the process twice and followed directions to the letter.
I also tried the check box "Password + Token Digits" and that did not work either.
I'm using a 2.2 ROM currently but I think I'll put my phone back to stock and try again with 2.1.
Your video is excellent, by the way, and extremely easy to follow.

Glad it was able to help you! I know I would have loved this info 6 months ago as I was figuring it out. If you are looking for a good RDP app, then use RemoteRDP. I'm using the $20 enterprise edition and it's amazing. They have cheaper versions as well with a few less bells and whistles options.
Now I'm just trying to crack DNS issues with Android not resolving hostnames of machines when VPN'd or on a WIFI network.
I am getting a device or resource busy when I do insmod android22tun.ko
I am running auxura and I skipped the rooting process as I am obviously already rooted.
Any ideas anyone?
I suppose you could try modprobe instead of insmod just to see. It could also very well be ROM dependent and something with this particular tun.ko file could be incompatible. There are many different tun.ko files for different kernels.
connexion2005,
I just wanted to thank you for the awesome step-by-step tutourial on getting my phone connected to IPSec VPN. I too am a IT Admin and recently got my phone with the objective in mine to remotely manage infraustruture. Your instructions are to the point and didn't leave much to guessing.
BTW: at the end of the video you mention the gscript tool to run the tun.ko for reloading. Shouldn't you actually had said adroid21tun.ko? That's what works.

I mean the technical name of the vpn module on linux based equipment is tun.ko so that's what I went with. I understand that may be confusing now. Whatever the module is named is what needs to be loaded. So you could call it mobiletechvideosdotcom.ko and that's what you'd load...lol. Thanks for the compliments!
Your very welcome. I think i have watched all your videos and I have to say great job.

It seems I have run into a problem. I have been able to connect to our ASA a few times already, but when I just tried today it fails. After investigating, my script to load the android21tun.ko fails with error "init_module 'android21tun.ko' failed (file exists). I even get the failure after reboot phone. Do you have any suggestions.
PS: Out of curiosity, you suggested RemoteRDP, have you tried PocketCloud? I like it so much I will pay the $14.99 for full version.
Thank you. This worked like a charm.

I have not used PocketCloud but RemoteRDP is absolutely phenomenal. Is this occuring even after a reboot? Perform an lsmod from a terminal and check to see if the tun module is running. I'm not sure why this would happen. May have to uninstall everything including the tun and re-perform the steps.
I did get it to work again. Strangely, it was after receiving a phone call that the module would load. Thanks again for your assistance.
Well that's good. I can't explain any bugs as my dev work only extends so far!

You are aware that ubuntu has no proper support for touchscreens; even if it runs you won't gain anything by doing that. When I installed a linux a few months ago on another device it worked, then I was fascinated about one minute and then I decided that there is no use for it an deleted it eventually.
I just do not understand why it is so important to get a desktop-os running on a smartphone. Battery drains fast, no support for the radio etc.

Its not important, but funny and cool if it works (on this device). How did you do it?
Until recently I still had my old samsung-omnia-winmo6.5-phone. There was an app for linux available; you just had to install an imagefile to the sd-card. The fun did last for a minute and then I realized I cannot do anything with this small screen and that it was pretty much useless.
I think that a lot of people here will just read the topic and think "omg this is amazing, now I can have my desktop-os on the phone, great" and later they realize how much time they just wasted.
If it really is fun for you guys, I won't try and stop you
How about using linux programs? i think that it may be quite useful sometimes... Put honestly... it is just for funright now... but it may be helpful if we could dual boot.... maybe in the future
I got this working, it isn't that slow as you could imagine, firefox takes around 30 sec to start and load the front page. That said, the keyboard works but is way off and impossible to use (I push "d" and "f" shows up and so on).
if anyone understand this the keyboard will be fixed:
In VNC’s xstartup file: $HOME/.vnc/xstartup
You have to add the line export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 before

The significance of linux running is to have a backup operating system to use on the phone if the Oracle / Google dispute over Java begins to really disrupt the market.
Think also freedombox.org, your own personal, secure and anonymous cloud system as a refuge if a dictatorship emerges or particularly nasty rise of corporatism occurs.
At heart, our U8800's can easily be linux box server with up to 32Gb of onboard storage with wi-fi AND gsm network connections. Being battery operated, if the thought police decend upon your community, you could take it to another place, unknown to the nasty guys, and re-establish mesh network connection to get reports of civil rights abuses out to the rest of the world.
Reason enough to have the capability to run Ubuntu Server edition (or any other Linux Server flavour)?
If you're interested to see what's already possible, even within Android (Linux will deliver more power), install "File Expert" from the market to get your very own web file server, right there in your phone.

Hi guys,
Google market version is the most up-to-date.
Soon to remove the BETA tag out of it.
New Link as of 13th of October!!
Ok, file handling should be spot on now.
I've tried several different ways of sending from good sources and bad sources and I reckon I cover all the bases.
To organise some stuff I've removed the internationalisation, sorry, for now is english only, soon I'll put back the other languages.
If I managed to put the tutorial on it on the next few hours I'll update it as V0.4 on the google play, but I'm not sure it's going to happen, maybe tomorrow.
so the plan now is:
- tutorial
- tips n tricks
- logging for missing intents (maybe)
- future feature? NFC? bump? who knows.
have fun!
New Link as of 08th of October!!
Hi again guys,
I found out what was wrong on the file on the 7th, it was not the transmission or connection or even anything WiFi related. It's just that the files can come from several different sources I'm not properly dealing with them.
So here's the deal, this new build, I just blocked the files the app is not handling properly (most likely from 3rd parties galleries, and should work as expected on local files from the stock gallery). Files that are currently not handling properly should just close the app and pop-up a quick message saying "Can't handle this 'Share' at the moment, we're working on it!".
so let's recap:
- local media files from the gallery should work
- connection process is still and will always be hardware/manufacturer dependent and it might or not work.
- transmission (once passes connection) should work rock solid. Including canceling transmission midway through and also once completed tapping on the notification to open the media.
What I'll work on next:
- proper handling of every possible file/intent
- include a tutorial that will appear the 1st time the app is opened.
- a tips & tricks section with what I learned until now on what's best to get it connected.
and after that we should be in a V1.0... does it sound ok?
have fun!
New Link as of 07th of October!!
In this one I completely redid the transmission process and it's ROCK SOLID !!!!
The version on the market if you try really big videos they'll eventually fail, with this new protocol I've transferred HUGE 1.7giga video file without any problem.
Furthermore there's TONs of optimisations on the transfer speed that you won't see on this version, but it's already on the file and it will be unlocked by the future paid version that give around 2 to 3 times after transfer times.
Before put this version into the market I'll include a tutorial and link to the youtube video, but you guys can already test it.
PS.: also there's not much internationalization on this one, there some parts that language will be lacking, I'm aware of it don't need to come tell me.
Have fun!

I've doing an open beta testing of the first and only (until now) WiFi Direct sharing app available in the Google Play.
here is the link for it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
I just finished refactor most of the code and should be smooth stable now.
So I'm creating this thread to invite anyone that have a FORCE CLOSE to get a Logcat and post it here for me
Please also state if it was the Sender or Receiver, the phone manufacturer/model and which ROM you're running.
Please do not post if you try to connect but the other device fail to reply, or if you device reboots when you try to switch the WiFi Direct on.
Those problems are 100% unrelated to the App itself and it's direct related to the hardware and OS on it.
Developers info:
The WiFi Direct API is 100% with callbacks. So the app just requests a connection and wait for a callback. And sometimes the callback is "failed to connect".... why this happens? is up to the OS.. the OS is responsible to all the transactions and there's no API available for any app to interfere with the process.
Hi, Nice app! It didn't force close on me at all and the UI design has a good look and feel. I just tried it with my Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus (both stock 4.1.1) and it worked. However, when launching the app to receive you might want to add a help menu or something to tell you what to do on the other device otherwise people might think to share something you need to launch the app on both devices and then share from there (this is what I did at first because I didn't watch your video!)
Is there any way you can launch the app automatically on the receiving device when the other device tries to send something? Also tapping "Shoot" to receive something is slightly odd. "Receive" or "Receive Shoot" might be better.

Yeah, the help will definitely be necessary but at the moment I'm focusing on nailing the actual software functionality. Non nexus devices not always works so nicely.
When I started developing I though about the same (auto launching) but it can't be done, unfortunately, I wanted something liked the show on last year Google io for he ask. But no, I couldn't do it without taking over ALL WiFi direct transactions on the device, which I reckon it would be bad a behavior. Maybe in the future I'll thin about it as an option for the paid version.
About the shoot.... hmmmm..... it kinda feels better to have the confirmation on the receiver, but for sure feels like the text could be different, but then the "cool factor" of it is to have that single big button with a very simple and almost graphical SHOOT, that won't even be translated to other languages.
Something to think about it.

nice app
waiting it support any file type
thanks
@Dev
Great work, any plans to expand the functionality and maybe expand to share a wireless shared connection from your laptop using direct wifi?

Nice initiative, I am on evo 4g lte. I tried it with my laptop sony viao, installed to latest atheros utility which haves wifi direct interface.
wifi shoot found it, invited it, get connected.
I just tried to send a songs or 3gp file thru root explorer. without enabling wifi direct from setting.
In send option it shows wifi shoot. I clicked on wifi shoot.
wifi shoot connect to my laptop wifi direct. then nothing no transfer.
Great work. Very high potential. once again great initiative. Thanks.
I'm sorry but you misunderstood the function of the app.
Is a direct transfer from android device to Android device, and both devices must have the app installed. It has never been meant to be used with a laptop.

Works great! I sent a small video from my S3 to my N7 successfully. Thanks a bunch, will try a big file later.

ohh got it. both device same apps. Thanks. will test it. Sorry
My Nexus 7 and S3 don't play wel together.
What does work is using the S3 as a hotspot and then run Samba on the Galaxy S3 (Root required)
Samba takes a while to activate.. but after it does you can browse your phone using the Nexus 7 and copy stuff... no limitations on specific file extansions either.
It work great... for a picture. But I want to transfert any file I want and Wifi Shoot! doesn't appear in "Send"/"Share" menu in ES file explorer or X-Port... What can I do ?
NFC pairing would be a great addition to this app! Maybe include it in a pro version of the app and charge a small fee? I'd definitely pay for it!

It's not the first time I hear ppl saying that S3 and N7 doesn't play nice together, but on the other side, there're reports that they do work nice.
Can you both tell me which versions of the S3 you have? Some US variant or the international?
thanks.
Work great beetwin mu gnex and n7
Nice work bedalus, now we only need The ability to share every file, not only media from gallery
dropped by a jellybeans cup...
Just downloaded to both my N7 and my GNex.
I really need something like this for files. As of right now, I'm using WiFi Explorer. It works but this would be faster.
The version from the Google play store (v0.3.5) worked fine both ways with my Galaxy Nexus with JB and my bro's Galaxy Nexus with JB. We both had to looking at the program during pairing to get the notifications though.
I was able to transfer a 323 mb .mkv video file in 2:30 mins. Pretty good considering transferring the file originally to my phone took about 15 mins over wifi via a PC router.
By the way, is there any reason in particular you made it so you can only transfer pics and video files? The program would be much more useful if you could transfer any file type.
Can i use it between galaxy S and SIII?
Please, add all kind of file type. Not only image and videos, also others type (.pdf, .zip, .dat…).
Wifi shoot installed on i9100 and i9000, both devices on Rom ICS AOKP milestone 6. The process work fine only if I follow exactly the same steps on the demo video :
Receiver:
1- Open wifi shoot and wait
Sender:
2- Open the apps where the file to send is
3- Share via wifi shoot
4- wifi shoot apparears and select client to invite
Receiver:
5- Accept the invite
6- Click on big button shoot
Sending + receiving…
So, if we follow the guide of use, wifi shoot work fine. But please, add support for all kind of file type. Not only image and videos, also others type (.zip, .pdf…).
Please, continue to develop this great app, I hope one day you will be able to win money with it.
Wifi shoot are not still unique for wifi direct. There is also this apps, but not working at all for my devices.

Hi,
thanks for the reply and tests. Could you further explain, how else were you expecting it to work? DId you try some other way?
I'm currently working on a better protocol to make the transfers more reliable, after that is fine tuned I'll enable every file type, multiple files and photos that are synchronised from picasa.
wifi shoot! is a great idea ... but would be better to have some kind of server on the phone that allow to share any file to another phone or tablet. Something like an ftp server or upnp/dlna server. This way we wont have to send the files frome the phone, we will just need to request it from the other device.
I don't know how wifi direct works ... but if it works using TCP/IP the only thing we need is to know de wifi direct IP address of the phone to connect to any available ftp/smb/upnp server phone from the other phone/tablet connected via wifi direct ...
the problem is: the available servers will be bound to the external IP only or will accept requests from the wifi direct interface? maybe this willraise the need of a special server and client prepared to work via wifi direct ..
PS: sorry about my poor english
Hi guys,
So recently I've come up with what I guess is an idea that may or may not have been achieved done before. The app I'd like to create is fairly simple right now and literally consists of a tally counter. Actually, very simple.
I'd like to also make an adjacent PC app that's also a tally counter... Very simple.
However, I'd like them to communicate with each other. Why and how you may ask?
First, the why. I knit as a form of relaxation as it's quite therapeutic for me and if you don't know how knitting works, let's just say there's a lot of counting rows. A few rows is easy to remember, but when you start getting closer to 128 rows and take a break for a couple days, you forget.
Anyway, I digress. I currently have a tally counter on my phone but... That's just it, it's on my phone and I constantly have to unlock it as I don't want to leave the screen on so it can drain my battery quickly. So I thought that it might be a good idea to have an app on my phone which I can use when I'm not near my PC, but when I am, I can plug in my phone launch the app on both devices and they communicate with each other.
So if I have say 18 on my PC because that's where I left it the other day, and 48 on my phone, when I launch both apps, the PC receives that the value has changed to 48 and updates to that number. Ditto for the other way around.
Is this possible? If so, how can I get both apps to communicate with each other?
Thanks.
Jamie.

Just had a look for any form of source code I could have a look through and there's nothing...
All I know is it can be done but not how it could be done.
Bump...
Anyone got an idea of how I could do this?
Hello Jamie,

The most used method is using one socket connection between your phone and pc.
