Wifi File Explorer - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Good Evening/Morning All,
I'm looking at picking up an Xperia S next month as an upgrade to my Desire Z. (why won't someone make a decent spec ~4" display phone with a keyboard )
Anyway, one of my favourite apps is Wifi File Explorer by dooblou and was wondering if this is still usable on phones like the Xperia S.
I have an Archos 70 250GB which I imagine would handle the internal storage in a similar fashion - making it fully accessible to Wifi File Explorer.
Could anyone confirm that this app works on the Xperia S?

Just tried it. Yes, it works.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for now you showed me a better solution.

Thanks for trying it out.
Can't wait for next month now

Great app that. I got it from the Amazon free app of the day promo and it's one of only a few I've kept. Really handy for my media centre pc at home which I don't want to have to keep getting up and plugging my phone into.

I got used to use swiFTP, but stick to that one I think. This is what I like about android, you always learn something new.

You don't need Wifi file explorer. the phone comes with Sony Companion with let's you browse your phone and let you transfer files over bluetooth usb and wifi!
I tried the wifi and works flawless! you only need to follow the instruction wizard.

[Q] PC Folder sync over wifi?

I asked this question in the 7" tab forums, didn't release there was a 10.1
Has anyone had any luck with automatic syncing of folders from their PC to their tab over their home wifi connection?
We don't have unlimited data here, so can't use a service such as Dropbox.
I basically want to setup a folder on my PC which holds recorded TV, digital books, etc... and when I get home and my tablet picks up the wifi network - it sync the content in that folder.
Running Windows 7... all the applications I've tried either time out, or corrupt the data on the tab... I've also been unable to get the FTP versions working stable.
Try SugarSync. You'll be amazed
SugarSync in great but it is cloud based app.
If you need "pure" wi-fi sync try SimpleSync.

Doesnt seem to be compatible with the 10.1?
I can't tell you for sure. Sorry. I don't have 10.1. What is exactly the problem?

Thanks - ended up returning my tablet because of the display issues, 2 with dead pixels, 1 with newton rings...
Might go for the Asus Transformer...or wait for something else, will try them.
Sorry to hear that, I returned 2 Asus Transformers with similar issues. I hope you get a good Tablet whatever the manufacturer.
What would be the difference in using a sync program to download music/videos versus just copying it to the tab?
Because copying it to the tab would requre the USB connection.
Instead of a wifi sync, why not just mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab. This is what I do.
Of course this requires a custom kernel that has cifs module.. but totally worth it.
Gotcha. So its just easier to copy through wifi, so you can freely add and move songs and have it update w/o having to connect. Which SYNC program do you use? I would use dropbox, but I dont want it to sync all my other drop box stuff.

I'm not sure you get wheat I am saying. I don't use a sync program but simply share via my network drive that is mounted on my tab. When I want to copy to local storage, I just use any file manager app.

Could you explain how to mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab? Thanks.
You can try this - websharing
It's free in android market.
I set up network shares on my windows PC, then I use File Manager HD to copy files from the network shares to my tablet.
This seems like a better and easier option to me than trying to get a custom kernel and setting up a share on the tablet.
I assume setting up a network share would be something that was always on and open. On a tablet it could be a constant drain as it would be another constant running process, and also it could be a security risk as you take your tablet out onto open public wifi access points.
leaving the sharing to your home PC, on only your home network seems like the better option.
I haven't tried it but the WD Live drive with the WD2go software is listed as being able to sync folders with mobile devices.
I have tried the WDphotos with one of our WD NAS drives at work and it did work.

Sync Xperia S with iTunes?

I'm having trouble with Notpod (formally iTunes Agent), here's the problem: When I try to select the folder on my Sony to copy to, I cant... it's grayed out. I believe this may be due to needing to change the USB connection mode but I cannot do this on the phone.
I've already seen that my laptop sees my Sony as a mobile device in stead of a removable disk, part of the whole problem I think?
Btw, I noticed that someone already asked the same question, but no one answered it in the end...
Try this maybe it help u

Are you trying to access the internal storage on a mac?
If so, this may help:

Itunes can't sync with XPS cuz its connected via MTP mode and not MSC. If your phone is unlocked and rooted, what gm007 suggested might help.
Sony Mobile did release a Mac apps for XPS, Sony Bridge for Mac. Although a lot of users are reporting issues of processes hanging endlessly while syncing music and photos. Apparently, they are aware of this issue and are still investigating and gathering more info.
I think DoubleTwist allows you to do this?
Not sure if it works with the SXS though
Thanks for all the advice! Anyone has another suggestion than DoubleTwist?

I don't know the answer to your pre-rooting question.. I might be interested to root later!

Thanks for the reply, can you see any changes in either of the apps?
I assume (hope really!) that SocialLife is more stable and less laggy - any difference please?

4.0.3 Release 6
Yes you can pre-rooted I have today this new version pre-rootet...
Tried OTA Rootkeeper but didn't work, ohwell, never used root anyway to be honest.
Root
New rooten and finished - just the instructions here in the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887447 I pursue today is done perfectly well under Release 6
Any of you above, give me a good reason to root the Tablet
The Answer why i have rooted the Tablet
For me, the rooting useful because now I can use USB flash drives that are in NTFS format - unfortunately supported by Android, this house is not, unfortunately, you do not FAT32 so I extended my exFAT for larger video files. Since I have only a WiFi tablet I can use the app with Root Manager and use UMTS 3g umts stick on the device ... there are more things but those are only playing - but we can extend by Root use many useful features and The root method is also associated with little risk because you change the read-only files right and push back and forth. Thus, it is worth the thing - for me personally - because everyone has his own opinion .. and that is a good thing
Thanx for your feedback xxliftsupxx
Any easier method than the step bu step guide? The last time it took me hours to do it!
Really could use a batch script from the whole build with a few breaks
Simply copy and paste the instructions to work through in CMD console If you are using step "Backup / system (you may just skip it)" omits goes faster because you'd have to do something else further up again That was what all my time had stolen - otherwise you are in 10min by

Upgraded mine to Release 6, Socialife is less buggy, the news section works now finally though it's still a bit clunky. I think the interface of Currents/Flipboard works better with social newsfeeds
The Reader seems the same, but nothing was wrong with it in the first place, perhaps more to do with new content or types of books.
Sony really need to fix the power issue where you get an inconsistent experience every time you try to switch it on, i never know if it will switch on straight away, needs two or three presses before coming to life. I love Sony, but this needs to be fixed ASAP as numerous complaints are testifying to.
I thought it was a Tegra 3 saver core issue, but the Asus ones I checked don't have this problem. Hope the JB build is more streamlined!!!
All these silly skins are slowing down the core Android OS imo.
Root
So for me with this root method NO apps has been deleted. The only thing is that the desktop without Widgeds was. But all apps still there and worked perfectly. Email accounts but had to be re-created. But that was under root 4.0.3. Rel.5 so I find this root method great, because you can understand what is happening. An on-click root solution is favorable - but you do not know what exactly because expires.

JXD P1000 (previous P700). Can I root it?

Hello.
I have bought a JXD P1000 by eBay.
It works perfectly, but I can't associate my gmail account and no I have not access to the official google play.
I have read that I can solve it changing some parameters in ES Explorer (r-r-r), but I can do it ONLY if my device is root.
Is there any way to root it? does anyone have this device?
Thanks for any help.
I just purchased the jxd p1000 too. If i have this problem too i would like to know as well.

Hey how is the device? How is the wifi speeds? I had a lesser known brand that over all worked pretty good but the wifi speeds were horrible. Download speeds capped at around .25 mbps! Not even close to 1mbps. Uploads were about double that. I hope its not the same with this one. Do you use a sim card on it?

I have the same issues apparently it is an issue with google's not being allowed in china. I have to say that although this device choice was done with great evaluation after seeing all the specification i quite fell in love with the item. so i called the sellers including pandawill, umitablets and another web seller which escape me at the time of this writings. And being from the US i Specifically asked would google would be implemented and i was told google play was already pre-configured and that is where i was sold and also where i was suckered. so let me tell you having bought the bloody thing i sought help first with the nearby stores and as soon as i mentionned the device and where it was purchased .... I got sorry but you know it's the chinese so i decided let me go to the nearest chinese community and i specifically said chinese simplified Han to be exact and you wouldn't believe what came out of their mouth .... CHINESE Sooorrryy ... I ssmmmhhh and said about finding my own solutions after all how hard it would be ... wowowowo little did I know when they say google play store they are misleading you their version of google play is the old android market ... so not being a quitter i decided research would help me get to the bottom of this so i webly disected the phone the IC manufacturer Mediatek .... No SuPPort the devices on google listed devices that being read the closest match to my device are phone lenovo P700 and A2105, A2107 and A2109 and off all these am not sure cause LEnovo won't support it as well so one look at google also states that they do not support it so the only way i see me get it around it is by changing the internal files so that the phone or google thinks that i'm one of the approved listed device funnily enough i can get apps off amazon and it recognizes it as Android JXD P1000 and Yantex as well but you need to stop speaking chinese and go into russian. Btw another issue you will have is getting the drivers that would allow you to work with your PC. I did find it but now I am scared to root cause i don't know how to do it and afraid to have a 200 dollar brick. So lesson learned i give myself less than 3 months to get it straight otherwise i will leave with its shortcomings but i will definitely champion never EVER EVER buy chinese devices cause #1 misleading #2 support non-existing #3 not worth its weight especially when their own countrymen is telling me sorry its chinese ... that is when i totally felt like an idiot ... so unless you hear me fix that issue please stay away from that device cause until they fix my issues i will warn everyone to stay far from it. I will eventually place all our correspondance on a website sometime real soon .... ttyl if you need to interact it i can get you the drivers for your pc what the hell we are in the same boat ... but anything else still looking ... it's not right goddamn misleading ....

Do not worry, we have a solution!!
Finally I entered the JXD website and I downloaded the latest firmware for the device.
Inside the file are the instructions to update the tablet and drivers to connect to the pc, but I did not work for me these drivers, so I had to look for other drivers on the Internet (I have no permissions to paste links, I have very few messages in this forum)
I hope this can help you. At least my JXD P1000 is already running at 100% with all Google applications.
Good luck!!

I just followed the steps in the downloaded file (word document). It's very simple. Sure is better explained that if I try to explain, because my English is not good and it is possible that I confuse someone.
Only one possible problem ... If your pc does not detect the tablet with the drivers provided by JXD, then as I said, you have to look on the internet: Simply search on google "mt65xx android phone drivers"

I also have bought a JXD P1000 in Vietnam. It looks working almost perferctly except GPS.
Problem I had in using GPS is, the satellites are caught but the present location won't be fixed forever.
So google map doesn't show exactly where I am, and it's useless at this moment.
I found similar problems in tablets using MTK6877(?) posted in other bbs. MTK6877 is said to be a brother cpu to this MTK8377.
The solution introduced in that BBS was to put a file named GPS.prop(?) into under /system folder. But it needs root.
So, what I want to say is, are there anybody facing a similar GPS problem?
Or other help or suggestions are appreciated.

I got the upgrade done yesterday. What i did is first connect the tablet to the computer, for the first time, and have it automatically install the drivers, once successful, i chose to install the ones provided in the upgrade file in the jxd website. I got an error saying it wasnt installed proerly on one of them but when i reconnected the tab it connected fine. So i decided to go on with the upgrade process from the word doc in the zip file. Pretty simple like the other person said on this thread, though i did try like 2-3 times before it began. Once it started was smooth sailing. The upgrade made the tab better. Gapps work fine, except i cant install google shopper for some reason. Everything else is pretty stock android with all the google services working. I have yet to see if the upgrade restores gps, so when i do test it out pretty well they ill give my results.
Update on my wifi problem: it seems it is only happening on my portable hotspot only. While on my home wifi it is solid good. When im out and about, it keeps disconnecting from my personal hotspot. Any ideas why that would be?

Google maps and navigation will not work, and device is unable to determine my location. I was able to find .apk files on the net for Mozilla and Facebook and have those working, but I really need access to Google Play Store.
I was able to download the PC drivers from the JXD website, and now my Windows 7 PC will detect the device.
I tried to update the firmware from the JXD site but says that one of the files is not compatible.
Customer service at Pandawill is unable to resolve the situation and will not authorize a refund.
Is there a way to root this device or install any Google apps?

I cant say why it is not happening right but for you but i can briefly say what i did. I started by downloading the upgrade from the website. I then connected the tablet to the computer and let the system automatically install the drivers. After the sucessful notice i extracted the zip file i downloaded off the website. I installed the drivers from the file. Both driver folders. Both of them had an error after installing them but windows asked if i wanted to reinstall them (or fix the install) using there recommended method. I chose yes for both. Let it finish and whatever the result i closed it and continued ( dont remember if it came out ok or an error again). With all the errors in the beginning of installing the drivers in the folders i check to see if the computer would still recognize the device and surely it still did. Now i went in follow the instruction from the word document in upgrade section. One thing you will have to do i extract another file from within the folders. Its the same on that the instructions says to chose in the program, one of the first steps. Look for it and extract it or else you wont be able to choose it in the program itself. I had problems in the step where you had to turn off the device and connect the device to the computer via usb so the program can detect it. It didnt ork the first time, nor the second time when i disconnectednitnand reconnected it. i closed the program and restarted it. This time it detected it and i just continued as the instructions said. All came out fine with all of Google's services working including play store. Its full fledged tablet now and better then when i first recieved it.
I was having trouble with wifi connection ( internet connection) not sticking with my hotspot only but i think i got a way for it to work. I read that some tablets have similar problems. They were able to fix it by using a static ip instead of the dynamic one. I tried different ones until i found one that stuck. Now it stays connected all day. Its still under testing to see if it is a complete solution or temp fix. Though im liking the results. You with have to check the router settings to see the range of ip's it uses and just chose different one from in there. Thats the only thing i changed. Hope any of this helps as of right now there is no known root method's.

I cant say why it is not happening right but for you but i can briefly say what i did. I started by downloading the upgrade from the website. I then connected the tablet to the computer and let the system automatically install the drivers. After the sucessful notice i extracted the zip file i downloaded off the website. I installed the drivers from the file. Both driver folders.

I purchased an AT&T sim card from Straight Talk to use with the JXD P1000. I am able to make phone calls and send/receive text messages, however, the data is extremely slow. Looks like I am only getting 2G speeds as the indicator light shows "E" for Edge.
Does anyone know of any settings to speed up the data? The device works great when connected to Wi-Fi, but I was hoping to use the sim card for data when Wi-Fi is not available.
Many Thanks!

[Q] eBay Not working

I am having this problem only with MY Mate 2 and no other device. I also attached some pictures so everyone can better understand.
Anything to do with eBay on my phone is not showing any pictures. I noticed this first with my eBay app about a week ago the other day I needed it so I used chrome and went to ebay.com and on chrome the pictures were also missing (see attached pics) I also installed Dolphin Browser and again the same problem. I gave up after clearing all my cache under app settings for ebay and chrome. I also used a file explorer and search for anything with "ebay" in it and deleted it. Nothing. Every time I go to ebay the app or website on 2 different browsers all the pictuers are missing. I gave up and factory reset it and the problem is still there! This is only on my Mate 2! Anyone have any suggestions on where to look or what to delete to make the pics come back up? I googled everywhere and nothing! everyone just says clear your cache or uninstall and reinstall and if all else fails factory reset. I did all of this! and I'm still unable to use ebay anyway on my phone! even if i'm not logged into ebay so its not an account issue.
Can you open this link?

To me, it looks like your phone has installed some adblock or site block. For example, have you checked the content of /etc/hosts?
What am I looking for. I'm stumped. I just Uninstalled adfree but no change. it has to be a file that is staying after restoring from twrp restore point. I rolled back to a time I know eBay was working and this time it was not. so what location does not get formatted ya know what I mean?
Hi there. I installed Android 5.0 on my xperia Z Ultra last weekend, and when I installed the ebay app it had EXACTLY the same problem as you are having now, so I wonder if it's an actual problem with the app or ebay rather than your phone?

When you do above test with laptop, is the laptop connect to internet same way as your MATE2, like both use your home wifi? or your phone maybe use carrier data plan?
Something maybe obvious from your side, but pls clarify, so I don't need to make any incorrect guess/assumption when troubleshooting.
I have searched a little bit, looks like a few people has similar problem on ebay image:

the phone was tested on the same router as my laptop also on mobile data and my girlfirends router. In other words. One Comcast, One Brighthouse, and one AT&T networks (mobile data) And it also works on my other devices (Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, Note 4, LG Optimus G Pro all working on my home network. I'm gonna search a little more but in a nutshell after I did a factory reset I dont see how its possible to still have the problem.

I am restoring my phone right after we installed the System Update. Will see if that restore point works... FML
OMG PICS STILL MISSING ONLY ON MY MATE 2. I'm about to chuck the phone at the wall!
I got IT!. Somehow the latest version of AdFree hostlist does not work on my phone and when I uninstalled it originally I did not revert back to the previous list first! I rolled back to when I had adfree installed and then reverted back to my orignal list now its working again. I uninstalled Adfree. But FML I had it forever and it was working fine
So adfree is the problem? I'm having that same problem when I open the new balance page lol
