[How To] Set Up an FTP Server Between a Computer and an Android Device with Open Source Software

Have you ever had to connect to your computer to get some PDF while your at the office?

Fear no more: FTP is here! FTP is basically connecting a super long USB cord to your computer and transferring files!

Here we go!

Requirements:

- A Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS X, or Linux PC

- An Android Device, Even Honeycomb!

*Pictures Coming Soon*

1) Download FileZilla Client from here:

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

Remember to choose the right OS (If your running Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc.

2) Go to your Android Powered Device and Download SwiFTP from the market.

Link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.swiftp&feature=search_result

Or, just go to the link above and click "Install" and if you didn't, sign in to your Google Account that your Android device is signed into.

3) Open SwiFTP. Remember to read the License Agreement.

4) Click "Start" on the home screen.

If you want to set a password and username, which is recommended, press the menu button on your phone or tablet and click settings. Self explanatory from there on. (Just type in desired password and username, and scroll to the bottom to find the save button.)

5) Go on your computer again, open up the FileZilla FTP Client we installed earlier.

6) Type in the address (something like 192.168, etc. You'll find it in the Home Screen of the SwiFTP.) Type in your password and username (if you did set it), and make sure to put the port "2121" if you didn't change it.

7) That's it! Your connected. If you need any help, commend and I'll immediately respond.

You could interchange this: make your computer the server and download a good client on your Thrive. Tutorial on this soon. It's fairly easy, though and can be done by simply doing the same steps, except pretend that Thrive is a computer, and a computer is a Thrive. Again, comment for help!

thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logan176:
Problem:

I have been reading as many posts as possible but I haven't come across my exact situation. I apologize if this is posted elsewhere.

I am running a rooted Dinc using CyanogenMod 7.0.3. If I charge the phone while it's powered on, the amber led turns green as soon as the battery indicator hits 100%. However, recently I've noticed that if the battery is close to being full, say 90%, and i power it off to charge it, it actually takes longer for the amber led to turn green. It might take 20-30 minutes longer.

I've also noticed the amber light turn green when the indicator only showed 92%. In trying something different I also noticed that if I charge the phone while it's powered on, then turn the phone off, the led goes amber and takes another 20 minutes to turn green again (I might be accidentally bump charging in this example but I'm not sure).

Attempted Solution:

I've read that a battery recalibration might help. I tried one method that requires the battery to be pulled after a full charge, but my phone won't boot while plugged into the wall if there's no battery. Then I tried booting into recovery, where I found an option to reset the battery stats... which I just did about 5 minutes ago.

I'm going to see how things go tomorrow, but is this normal? Has anyone else experienced these things? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The kernel and the hardware charge it in different ways. That's why there are differences. DInc is famous for ending charging before the battery reads full. There's already a thread on that. there's not much point in getting hung up on how that thing charges. Be glad yours isn't like mine; a battery that discharges faster than it charges. Seriously.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Before I had a fast charge kernel (thanks Chad!) Using GPS with the stock VZW car charger, my battery would go down while it was on the charger!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
On AOSP roms, the LED will turn green at 90% and charge slower from 90%-100%. Perfectly normal, and I think on any rom it will charge slowly from 90%-100% to protect the battery.

The battery will charge further when you turn the phone off, what you described is what's known as bump charging. If you do this, you should notice a slower drop from 100%-90% than usual, because the battery is charged to a "true" 100%. When the phone is on and charging (above 90%), it simply keeps the battery above 90% even if it says it's fully charged, and this is why the inc is notorious for the quick 100%-90% drop.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3TR1C:
If you do a bump charge and then clear the battery stats and use the battery calibration app will you need to bump charge again or will it know what the true 100% capacity is and keep the droid lasting longer. Not noticing much of a diffrence when i went from 1300 battery to a 1500. May get a bigger batter that'll fit the stock battery door cause I'm trying to get the best battery life i can get.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logan176:
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I think something else that has thrown me off is that before I rooted the phone I wasn't able to see the actual battery percentage in numbers... all I could see was the battery icon. Things are now making more sense.

After recalibrating my battery I bump charged the other day and I was able to get almost 2 days out of my phone on light usage. Without bumping, I was able to end my day yesterday at 50% under my normal usage. Which is a noticeable improvement. Normally I end the day with about 10-20%. The big test will be once I go back to work next week. The cell reception is real spotty in my classroom, which I know makes the cell radio work harder.

Thanks again.

So I was in an important phone call outside, when it was 107, and it seems the sweat got into the lcd. now I see some smudges on the screen.

Is there anyway to get it out? or will warranty cover it? does anyone think the rice trick will work?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Place it on top of your cable box while on. Just needs some dry heat for a night or two.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:

In the meantime, I guess I'll have to leave the PC on and have the calls forwarded through GVoice.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCLiteratesJax:
Hi there :) I rooted and installed Virtuous Unity with Sense 3.0 with Clockwork Mod successfully on a MyTouch 4G and I also installed the Genius button fix to make it work. It was my first root and custom ROM installation, yay, and it is certainly not my last one either :) I didn't unlock it for AT&T or Simple Mobile because of the possible risks involved. It runs absolutely awesome and I am planning to sell it on Craigslist since that phone is an extra one that I bought for $ 180 on Craigslist a while ago. Unfortunately, that phone has the "bad", washed out screen but the ROM looks surprisingly good on the screen. I really have absolutely NO idea how much I could ask for it. Do people pay more because of the root and custom ROM? I want to at least break even, preferably make a little bit of money extra. Any input is greatly appreciated !!

Thanks !!

FYI any Simple Mobile sim will work on the phone without the need to unlock as i was thinking the same when i got mine and it was a matter of just putting the sim in and fire it up ;) Simple Mobile = T Mobile.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCLiteratesJax:
Thank You !!

Wow, that is very interesting !! I didn't know that :) IF AT&T actually gets the green light to take over T-Mobile, we're planning on changing over to Simple Mobile. I am still hoping that the merger won't go through, but then, if it does, we'll be all set. Thank you for the info !! :)

How or where could I find standard HTC inspire widgets ? I really would like the full window size calender that can be flashed via recovery.

I'm currently using the lastest Leedroid ROM.

Also the sense 3 camera would be great.

just go to leedroids rom thread and download the all in one sense 3 pack and flash
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dinman:
I downloaded that & flashed it already...but the calender isn't in there (not the full screen one).

Maybe I'll reflash it...Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:

If you are asking if you can use data while your phone is roaming then yes. My phone roams with data 24/7.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:

[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Depending on your rom, you may have to allow it in settings. I know in my "mobile network settings" on MIUI there's an option to allow or disable data roaming. I'm not sure of the default, but mine is disabled. I don't remember changing it, but I may have.
[EVO 4G General] twiztidvandal417:
Go to Menu, settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile networks, make sure "data roaming" is checked on.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
stock rom and yes allow data roaming it enabled.

When i have it roam it grabs data then loses it ending with error 78

happened on unrooted and rooted. two different evos
[EVO 4G General] criffaaa1:
I had this problem also. You have to call sprint and have them update your profile,and or provisioing(is that a word) on their end. After that all was good, also when you flash a new rom always update your profile, and prl after first boot.

If you are on the west coast, sprint is experiencing 3g outages. I got a different error code, but it's probably related to the same outage as sprint may not be able to authenticate your device on the roaming network.

I had one and sold it within a week.

It really sucks, and its slow.

My advice save the 200 and get something else.

There's a lot of great android tablets available for 200 usd.

The touchpad has done nothing for me except make me use webos gestures on my sgs2 and the xoom......
[Xoom General] LiViD:
HP's biggest mistake was putting WebOS on it. I guess they learned nothing from the failed attempt called the Palm Pre.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Hey speaking of which, the Touchpad sounds like it will be pulled from the market completely. I suppose they were embarrassed when WebOS ran faster on the iPad when they gave it a test run. They are said to be working on another tablet, a 7 inch tablet I believe. Since it most likely will not be running WebOS, and since the only open source OS is Android... I think I know what will happen next! Hmmm... ;)

I would personally never touch any tablet that isn't running the Android OS. Not the Playbook, the Touchpad, and definitely not the iPad!

Open source+Android+Google=Win.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
+1 We think alike.
[Xoom General] MartinFick:
Android on Touchpad

Those tablets have an open bootloader, they can run android. It might be time to start a forum for doing just that?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
The official line is that only the hardware side is dead, and the platform will continue for development & licensing. But no doubt an outright sale is preferred, given the strategic direction change with the $10B+ planned acquisition of Autonomy. Either way, WebOS will be mothballed for the foreseeable future, with no dev support.

The common line among pundits is that HP muffed the tablet & phone launches, with mediocre hardware and half-baked software, and decided to cut its losses. IMO, WebOS never had much of a chance, even if the launches went off well. On one side, there is the iPad with its polished UI and many apps. On the other, you have a legion of low-cost Android tabs. There is no breathing room.

HP's announced strategy for WebOS adoption was to piggyback on Windows as a shell in HP PCs & printers, where its vast market share is a strength. But WebOS' chance went from slim to none the moment MS announced that Win8 would encompass tablets, has a touch-friendly GUI, and run on ARM. The rationale to include it as a Windows touch-GUI was no longer viable. Thus the sole chance of WebOS penetration rests on the tablet doing well, which it didn't. But the tablet was never the main plan for WebOS, the PC was.

The bigger impact by far to HP's stock walloping is the announcement of exiting the PC market. Not sure what the thinking is here, to announce it way before it had a deal lined up. HP PC sales will suffer, especially going into the all-important back-to-school and holiday shopping periods. Apotheker has a lot to answer for.

The other shoe left to drop is when RIM would cry uncle with the Playbook.
[Xoom General] :
HP should license the OS or certain features in it if they arent going to make it Open Source. The OS is awesome but they didn't put any money into hardware. Can you imagine a 4 in+ HTC device running WebOS? That would be awesome. The software is awesome but the hardware, marketing and acquisitions direction was horrible.

The purchased may have been for the patents since it was a steal. If we are lucky Google makes an offer they can't refuse on those patents.

the specs of the touchpad are not that impressive plus it boots very slow.. and its webOS not Android..and its the heaviest slate around !!

you can get an Android based tablet with the same specs for a better price.. unless someone ports Android to touchpad and HP will sell it for $150 or lower then it would worth spending the money on it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
I'm assuming the last / highest score was the Photon? Couldn't really tell, lmao. Needed to pan out a bit on the last few phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] EarlyMon:
No way I trust Quadrant with dual core phones right now.

I was getting 2400 on my stock unrooted Evo 3D when others were bragging on 2000 with overclocked. After I posted pix of that, I got rooters tinkering until they got 3000.

If you can game the benchmark, what are you testing?

Personally, and no one asked me - I recommend CF-Bench for CPU/Java info, Nenamark2 for dual core fps tests, and if you're interested in checking out your browser, Vellamo.

Hope this helps!
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Yea...last one was the Photon. Looks like it was clocking in @ 2320.

Don't need quadrant scores to tell the Photon is a faster phone. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] wynand32:
My lowest Quadrant score on the Photon has been 1600, and the highest 3100 (yes, it actually hit this ONE time). My typical score is around 2500.

With such variability, I wouldn't trust this benchmark as far as I can throw it. Bottom line is that the phone is more than fast enough for me, and plays all of my Tegra 2 games without issue. And, anyways, I don't think we'll see any truly game-changing increases in performance until the next generation comes around (I'm liking Kal-El myself), so letting benchmarks sway one's phone decision today seems a little short-sighted.
