Connection issues with windows 8 - Nexus 7 General

Hey all,
I have looked through the thread topics and haven't seen anything that resembles this issue.
My n7 will connect to the PC while in ptp mode but not mtp. I am on rasbeanjelly 4.2.2 with trinity kernel, not sure if that might play in but figured I'd add it. Has this issue come up before and what can be done to rectify it? Thanks.

I had the same issue today. Uninstalling the driver for adb and then plugging in my Nexus 7 seemed to fix it.

Check out WiFi File explorer. It is like a web based file server that runs on your tab.
Makes it so easy to transfer files and helps when doing cross device transfers. Load it up and access it with any browser to upload and download files.
Great for big stuff so you can go about your business while it transfers and it seems much faster then using the cable.
My tab only touches a PC connection once to root.

Also, if you don't want to keep installing and uninstalling drivers, you could just use the adb push/pull commands. I'd only do this is you're really desperate though, as it can be a pain to use them.

Easy Tether question

First off, Noob to D3. Since root has not been achieved, I'm using easy tether on my ancient IBM Thinkpad with XP. Problem I'm having is me and my wife both have Droid 3 and it won't let us change phones for tethering. I was rocking it with mine after the initial install but after installing it on my wifes, the computer wouldn't recognize hers as a connection. So I uninstalled both the app and computer program, used hers to reinstall, now hers works and the computer won't recognize mine. Any ideas?

would it be due to the fact that both phones have different device ID's, MAC address's? might have to make a quick link to your windows registry location for easy tether to swap ID's or MAC addys... just an idea
I'll give out a try, thanks!

Mobile Hotspot?

Anyone have problems getting their touchpad to find a mobile hotspot from your android phone? If not, what app do you use? I'm rooted and have tried open garden and one other that I forgot the name of. Both didn't show up on my touchpad when scanning for a wifi connection.

Ok, I'm bringing this back up because I still havent really found a way to wifi tether with my Droid X2. I have done some research since posting this thread and found out that my Droid X2 only puts out an ad hoc connection which the TouchPad doesnt recognize. I have came across a couple possibilities though.
One is a patch that modifies wpa_supplicant. Not really sure what or where that is since I just found it and havent been able to play around with my TouchPad yet. But I think that patch is device specific and needs to be modifies IF it is to work for the TouchPad. Not sure. Here is a couple links.

Another possibility and probably the easiest fix is downloading the app "zt 180 ad hoc wifi switcher" from the play store.

I will try the app when I get around to messing with my TouchPad which might not even be until tomorrow. But if anyone else tries either of these methods (or any other that works) and has success, please let me know.
Try Wifi tether for root, they have in the Google store. I have not used the latest one but if you have problems with it go to there web site and find the 3.0-pre12. I use that on my Droid Charge and have not had any problems.

I've tried a bunch of wifi hotspots apps, including wifi tether. The problem is my phone only puts out an ad hoc network which doesn't show up on the touchpad. I don't know what the Droid charge puts out.

I use foxfi and use the wifi and bluetooth options
You need an app to access the hotspot from your phone? I always just turn my phone's hotspot on and connect to it, never knew you needed an app. Interesting. Done this on gingerbread and ICS roms for my Inspire 4g.
Dunno what to tell ya... I have an SGS 2, a Dell Streak 5 and a 7 and A Galaxy Note... on all of those the only thing I use is the native hotspot tether with no issues with them putting out a signal to any other device I have
Maybe you oughta look at some type of wpa_supplicant tweak for the Droid X2, not the TouchPad, that you may need to implement to get tethering functioning correctly

Well I managed to get it working with pdanet on the touchpad and foxfi on my phone. But that's the only way it works. Weird. At least it works one way though.

Stock WebOS cannot see Adhoc networks. I'm not sure if the Droid X2 supports AP tethering.

Go to the manufacturer's website of your laptop/desktop (HP, Dell, Toshiba) and check if your blue tooth drivers are up to date.

Can you take your sdcard out and transfer directly with the computer?

But thx 4 tip!
Do you have USB debugging on? Perhaps try turning it off. If all else fails you could flash a different ROM, sync, then reflash your old one.

WIFI direct

Does anyone know how to use Wifi direct with the HTC one to transfer moderate to large files like movies or videos.( beam/bue tooth is to slow) Everytime i try to use it with any phone it fails or doesn't connect. ive also tried third party apps like super beam/ send!/file transfer/ none of which work. i find it hard to believe that the HTC one is suppose to compete with the GS4 and GS3 but cant do any features that mimic S BEAM its a fail on HTC. if anyone could help to get this to work i would appreciate it thank you
Download Superbeam in the market.

Superbeam works fine on my HTC one. Use it to transfer between my one and my Nexus 10 all the time. Make sure Wifi direct is enabled on your phone, I believer there is an option to block it if you don't want people connecting, or something.
Every time I use it it says wifi direct fail I've tried HTC to HTC and HTC to Samsung I have my wifi and wifi direct turned on still not working I even went into the wifi direct option and manually paired with device still not working also tried a different HTC to make sure it's not mine still having same is first file was 86kb failed next was 1gb movie failed

I've successfully transferred a picture with super beam from my one to nexus 7. Not sure what's keeping it from working

Maybe you could try doing a factory reset or a custom rom, maybe something is borked in your os.
Have the same problem. Try to use WiFi direct with my wife's gs3 so I can watch a movie on my ps3 and her phone kept saying connection failed. Her sbeam was on and we were paired. Kinda weird. Any way on a side note any way to connect our phone as mass storage instead of mtp?

i rooted and flashed custom rom wifi direct still not working with superbeam always comes up saying wifi direct failed try wifi hot spot option....any other suggestions
MadMan3353, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

Seriously? This doesn't help solve his problem. Especially when it is obvious from his posts that he has tried HTC to HTC.

This is why I think Samsung in the long run is going to lose...as they copied their way to the top, they are becoming like Apple...create a closed-ecosystem solution. At a minimum you need to create something that works at least within Android....and if you're ambitious, make it work cross-platform with iOS....shameless plug...go check out what we're doing at www.get-drop.com! Going into Private Beta soon for Android first...

Android File Transfer

Is there anything similar to Android File Transfer out there? For some reason I can't seem to load my phone up through AFT to drag music files over. I don't like HTC Sync manager. So I was wondering if there is anything similar out there that you know of?
