Hi guys /girls
Quick question for those that understand networking etc.
I know from my phone how to connect to my home pc via wifi. Works instantly, fast and I can push /pull files easily.
What I cant seem to do is the same from my android head unit to phone. I thought that was what dlna was supposed to do.
Both android, unrooted 7 and 8, and I have specially got a mini router for the car.
But everywhere I search for info, its always about using android to connect to a pc. Is it not possible to 'share' a folder in android and access it easily from another android on the same wifi lan?
So in essence, apps on head unit would see the 'networked (phone) folder and that would be as accessible as a local one. :laugh:

I was wondering if this is possible. I've heard of people using ICS Control to turn it into a hotspot, but I no longer have a working WiFi card. I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all I can do is use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing that comes with WinMo until I get a long ethernet cable to wire from my router to my room.
So I was wondering if it's possible to use the phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer. I'm sure there's some way for it to be done. Any suggestions?
I have the same question
same situation here.
After some searching, I've found a program called "Serialtunnel" and "wmtunnel" that is supposed to do just that, however I cannot find any working download link...
Let me know if you find anything.

Will work as wifi to usb, making your phone a WIFI usb adapter. I use it with my desktop when hooked to my TV in the livingroom, rather than a 35 foot cord.
Its as simple as= plug in phone, start Wmwifirouter , touch wifi to usb button.
Battery charges while working so it doesn't kill it.
phone's ability to receive WiFi to share that connection with the computer can only be obtained if your phone allows to do so. check out the official site of your phone developrs. there will definitly be some considerations about this
Two solutions
Found two programs that do just this, both work on Windows Mobile (and unfortunately not on Symbian), but are supposed to do just what you're looking for.
ICS Control
Serial Tunnel
IF anyone figures out how to get this (converted) to run on a Symbian device... Thanks.
Anyone?
Bumping to re-ask question.

I'm looking for a program that can "Wifi to USB" on a symbian (Nokia) phone.
In other words, I want to use my phone as a wireless adapter for an old pc without wifi.
would prob get more luck asking in a symbian forum
Hello,
I originally posted this over on the WP8 forums, but I still haven't been able to figure this out. Maybe someone here has the solution.
I've got a Lumia 1020 and I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth to a windows 8.1 device. I'm able to pair the devices, but as soon as that process is complete, the connection drops. On my phone, I can tap on the name of my computer, and it will reconnect, but it lasts for literally 3 seconds, before dropping the connection again. I've tried connecting to both my Surface RT and my windows 8.1 ultrabook with the same result. The phone will connect to my car stereo just fine, and I never have to do anything with it. Is there some sort of protocol that's missing in Windows 8 to allow phones to connect via Bluetooth? My main use for this would be music streaming, and using my tablet as a hands free device.
My eventual plan is to mount my Dell Venue 8 Pro in my car as a carpc, so I would like to figure this out somehow. I've tried disabling the Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator, and strictly use the Intel Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, but still, the same thing happens. I can't even stream music from my phone.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin
I should also mention that I've tried connecting an android phone with the same outcome
The connection drops because nobody uses it. As soon as some app open a socket between the phone and tablet, the connection will pop up again. This is the default behavior of bluetooth. The devices are first paired, and connection is opened only after something needs it.
Hi All,
I don't actually have a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I have a friend that does, I have a HTC DNA. He posed me with a good question. Is there anyway to have a Windows 7+ computer recognize when you have your phone connected to the same wireless network so it will launch an Application or do a task such as play a song on the windows machine? I assume it would be the same for any Android Phone. He isn't against installing a program on his computer and an App on his phone. The only thing like this that I could see was a wake on LAN App that turned on the computer, but what if the computer was already on and you just wanted it to run a task? Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any additional questions.
This isn't really S4 specific but Bluetooth would be the better way to go.

ok so I've done searching, googling, youtubing.. I couldn't decide which place to really ask this question. Here or in the Chromecast section - I leaned here because the hardware is better.
Is there anyway to cast things from a laptop, phone, or tablet without having to have them both connected to the same wifi connection? I'm trying to get things to wirelessly goto my projector easily but wifi isn't always an option for me. If there is another type of device out that will do this as good as Chromecast/NP I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I'd be using miracast capable computers, iphones and android devices.
Thank you
Hi.
How can I transfer files between my smartphone and my Android Head Unit?
I thought the by USB would be the best choice, but I connected my smartphone by USB and I'm not able to see the smartphone files in the Android Head Unit.
My Android head unit is a Asottu CXKLL179060 that is a Allwinner T8 Otca core.
Thanks
I been trying to figure this out today but no luck as yet, seems like it should be a simple thing to do, but tried various file managers and neither devices seem to be able to find the others storage.

Yes, I don't know how to enable the Android Head Unit to recognize the smartphone by USB, or another method, and be able to access the files of the smartphone.
I can't download files from my house's wifi to the Android Head Unit. The Android Head Unit recognize my house's wifi but indicates a low reception. The wifi receiver of the Android Head Unit probably have a low reception or, as the wifi receiver of the Android Head Unit is inside the car panel , it probably decrease the Android Head Unit wifi reception.
Got it working today by usb, used this Paragon ExFAT NTFS USB Android, apk in playstore.

This one?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro
Yeah that's it, moved some albums earlier and was very quick, only problem is now that app starts every time the stereo turns on, think it's trying to read my 4g dongle though. May be ok for you.

Does It need to buy the app to it works? I installed the free version and it's not working. I installed the app in the Android Head Unit, connected the smartphone in the Android Head Unit and in the Paragon app shows the message "Connect USB to the Device"
No need to buy it, should be able to select file manger from symbol of folder down bottom right. When you get to screen with a filing cabinet on it, go to symbol in top right with 3 horizontal lines on it. This should allow you to scroll down and see your device.
