Thanks, Does anyone know if it will work? as if can i log into my pc and copy anytype of file to my phone?

If you run an FTP server on your PC, you can use one of the FTP clients available on the Market to connect.
I do this all the time and it works well. I have not tried Discover, but I don't have shared files on any of my home PC's either.

Transfer Files using Wifi + Android Name

Hi, i`ve been looking for a way to transfer files to the phone without using the USB cable.
I found: OnAir which does not work and SwiFTP which works but...
- i`m using Conectify to share my laptops internet connection. This in turn offers IP`s with DHCP.
Is there a way to name your phone to something fixed so that i can use it's name to connect?
If you have any other tips on how to do this, please feel free to let me know

you can use WebSharing, connect using IP address + port number..

on air does work fine on both 5.0.7 and froyo for me.

I suppose you're talking about Windows network. Is the phone rooted or not?
Non-rooted have no such option, but can use FTP. If you want to address it by a name - install DynDNS on the phone.
Rooted can change hostname to whatever you like (look up my thread about it in Development section - but it doesn't show on Windows network, since it's not NetBIOS name, it needs DNS server to be addressed) and/or install Samba+Netbios (look up Samba thread in Android General section, this one shows your phone as a computer on the Windows network with an SDCARD share, but it's a bit quirky - slows down when phone goes into sleep). Both things require interaction with O/S on a level of browsing system dirs, executing system commands and changing system text files. If you're not comfortable with it - I don't suggest trying.

I would just use ES File Explorer and pull the files from your Windows shares that you want rather than trying to go through all of the trouble to push a file to your phone.

Estrongs File Explorer does work very well browsing windows/smb shares over wifi. Astro can do this as well as an option for sftp for connecting to your linux box. As for a static IP you can do this manually from the wifi options in the phone. Or a nice app was made called WiFi Static, and is available free from the market.

A bit of a different choice, but Dropbox is free and can share files between any number of devices, in the cloud.

Hi Flexxoo,
i donwload and installed to my XP, but it cannot connect to my Smasung galaxy S (I9000)?
Does it work on Samsung Galaxy S? If yes, can you show me how to connect?
Cheers,

Doesn't install on windows 7 x64 the install doesn't even open up.

It does work cause i have windows 7 and it works for me and yes it works for all the android phones connect the phone to the computer and in your phone go to settings then go to manage apps and turn on debugged so your pc suite can reconize it

Funny, I've downloaded the program 3 diff times on 3diff win7 x64 ultimate pc's and none of them run it.... I'm a computer tech and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work.

Or I just won't use the program that is good for nothing. Why would I search for a file when he posted one that "works" Maybe because it doesn't "work" and has been proven by not just me. So take your ignorant remarks elsewhere.

why are you still complaining? if it doesnt work for you ok you dont have to keep saying the same thing we get it steve jobs!!!!!!!!!!!

Current version 1.76.208
I am running version 1.76.208 on Windows 7 64 bit, controlling an Atrix 4G
Download the program at http://91.pandaapp.com/pcsuite/
A fix for a bug that the developer keeps forgetting to repair (it always opens in Chinese!)
Close down the program and open the directory where the app is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NetDragon\91 Mobile\Android on 64 bit machines
C:\Program Files\NetDragon\91 Mobile\Android on 32 bit machines
open the file named "91 PC Suite.xml" with notepad
change this line

Save the file.
Restart the program

[Q] Does anyone know a way to view my phone on PC?

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to use my phone via pc...
Earlier I was using a software called mobiler for Winmo 6.x
Would love it if something similar exists for Android too!
Thanks for your help in advance guys!
Don
P.S
Tried Screencast, I can just view my phone's screen but cannot control it...

there are many ways to do this
you can use Android WiFi Manager
you can use VNC server
and there are 3 more other apps that i forgot the name

Thank you my friend! How to use VNC?? Should i download some software for the PC too? Please advise.
Nevermind, I figured out am using Realvnc and it works wonders..
Also do you know where the Android manager wifi sync location is? I mean I synced my apps and I'd like to know where the software stores the apks in the computer..
Thank you.

[GUIDE] Installing Windows 8 Preview on the HTC Shift

This thread is to record comments/questions on a guide I have posted up on my site regarding the steps to get a fully working Windows 8 Developer Preview install onto the HTC Shift.
http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=313
The process to get Windows 8 working (with graphics correctly setup etc.) is a little bit of a pain but nothing all that difficult. Especially if you follow the steps (usual rules, I made mistakes to save others the hassle )
The resulting install of Windows 8 running at 1024*600 is VERY usable , much to my surprise. Metro is actually quite nice on the tablet form factor.
The touchscreen is a little unresponsive round the edges but I suspect that is my device as it has never been very good.

good work man thanks so much i will try and post my trial

SmartScreen by any chance?
If your getting the green messages the chances are you Ethernet connection is not working (is it USB, does Windows 8 ship with the driver for whatever chip it uses?).
Below is a copy/paste from a comment I made on the guide concerning SmartScreen issues.
djwillis said:
Hi,
The reason you get the green SmartScreen error messages is the lack of an Internet connection. Windows 8 includes a feature that used to only be part of IE that calls off to an MS web service to verify digital signatures are valid on newer type signed executables.
As both the Intel graphics driver and Windows Mobile Device Center are signed you can’t install without an internet connection or crippling SmartScreen.
Have another read as the order in which I installed the drivers was very deliberate and also intentionally ordered the way it was to work around the SmartScreen issues.
The guide does not even try to install the signed executables until you have got the Wireless LAN up and running so the signatures can be verified, I even mention SmartScreen as one of the reasons for the order of drivers in the guide .

John

I don't suppose you have all the needed drivers and could share them somewhere? i cant get any of the links to work so cant get it ready for the upgrade
Also can the test version be installed fresh? i am trying to get windows 7 working for an upgrade but if it can be done fresh i will do that xD

Hi,
All the needed drivers are linked off the guide but as the HTC site seems to be up and down today I have now added mirrors to all the files (uploaded them to my server).
Checked and all the mirror links seem to be working fine .
The best way to try Windows 8 on the Shift is actually a fresh install. I would not suggest an upgrade at all .

fantastic i will give it a shot now

Are you going for a totally clean install as per the guide?
Is your USB stick all setup and bootable?
Assuming you are getting into the Windows setup booting off of the USB stick is it the part where you select the install disk that seems to show no HDD? If it it what was installed on your Shift before?
This sounds like an issue I had when I have Meego running off the HDD before I installed Windows 8 (BtrFS and a different partition layout seem to cause it).

Need Help,
I used the MS software to create the USB boot disk for window 8. try to install on the Shift. got to the part where it said loading files...then it show some blue squares on the upper left screen...it goes for 1/3 of the way and hang up....I let it run for 2 hours and had to do pull the battery.
try to re-install again..same result...
Do I need to format and partition the disk?

That sounds like a bad stick to be honest . The blue squares are replaced with the install menu after just a few minutes. This is all well before anything is messing with the Shift's HDD or hardware .
Try reformatting it and having another go. It can't hurt.

Right i managed to find the problem, only used your quide for the drivers as i installed windows 7 in a similar way, i used CMD and DISKPART to get a pen drive ready and then used XCOPY to move the installation media onto the drive but for some reason even though it said it was finished it was missing out a couple of files inside the sources folder, once i used XCOPY again over the existing media it managed to find the missing files and copy them. So you where right it was a problem with drivers missing from the install media and once they where found it was all clean sailing thanks to your fantastic guide
Thanks again xD

Hmmm, the Tilt is an ARM based HTC Kaiser, the Shift is a much bigger x86 based UMPC (with a cut down HTC Kaiser effectively shoved in to look after the ARM Windows Mobile side of the device ).
As this is running normal x86 Windows 8 I would not expect to see your old Tilt getting much love from the guide .

sir is it possible to install win(8) on HTC-HD2... r HD7.

If you want to force the 1024 x 768 resolution to launch Metro apps !

I cannot install Win 8 on my HTC Shift.
I follow the guide but using with 4GB Flash Drive.
any thing help or comments please!
thanks

Well... I have installed Win8 on the Shift without any trouble.
Overall I find it too slow for being usable. Neither Vista, 7 or 8 seem to be enough responsive.
I am very disappointed by the Metro UI, it is really slow and even in 1152*864 it does not work quite well.
What do you think about Metro UI responsiveness?
I have a lot of trouble getting accurate touch... it shows a circle but it seems that only a FEW (3-4 ?) pixels trigger... so you still have to find the precise point that will get the touch event.. OUCH !
It is especially painful to hit a corner (windows button, the task bar, and the application bar). I have to do almost everything with the mouse.... *SICK*
Intel driver supports several resolution... AMAZING ! but we need two things:
- change the resolution switch from 800*480 - 1024*600 to 800*480 - 1024*600 - 1024*768 - 1152*864 ... or at least get the ability to change the 1024*600.
- change the rotation : as a tablet... the screen rotation is kinda important...but well it is just a detail ;-)

what is the problem?
4GB Flash Drive seem a little bit too small. I have used a HDD of 20GB with the whole partition set as active.
It is for me the fastest and easiest solution to install Windows on the shift.
Have you been able to go to start the installation of Windows 8 ?
You need to press F12 during the boot to choose which drive to boot on.
