Yes. SambaDroid works just fine on my Galaxy S3 (I-747 AT&T). No alterations needed. If your computer won't find the share, trying using the IP address instead of the name, and if it still doesn't work, download a terminal emulator from the play store and ping the IP address of the computer you're trying to connect to the share from.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
SambaDroid doesn't support large files (>4gb) yet sorry.

You should bind the service to wlan0, not eth0 :)

[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:

I'll ask him about this :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] andrewilley:
I must admit I've rather given up on this as I just can't get it to work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, and subsequent releases all behaved in exactly the same way. I'm just using USB cabled connection on it for now for the odd file transfers I need to do.

I would have tried it on my S3 phone if I was getting anywhere on the Tab, but the old Samba software is working just fine on that and I use it daily so I don't really want to risk wrecking it. (The dev for that original version has just turned up again by the way)

Hello, this app looks it has a great potencial, but I have a problem, the windows 8 does not recognize the device in the home network. I add IP or the name \\SAMBADROID and nothing happens. The old Samba Fileshare works perfectly, but it is very buggy, so I decided to try this. Thank you:)

Hi.

I tried the free version and worked well with Nexus 4. Then I bought the pro version because I wanted to be able to access to the folder of Clockworkmod (data/media/clockworkmod). However, I can't access to that folder! Is there any solution? I would like to access to my backups from that folder (I know I can copy to another folder and then access to it but I would like to access directly to that folder).

Thank you.

EDIT: I think that I found a solution, in place of writing that path, is enough to go to root (just writing /) and then with computer going to the correct folder

File Size

It's nice SW, but file limit 2 GB is problem. I bought it and I hope, that a will use it fully.

I can't copy mkv file to my HDD connected in MK808B

Please check it.

[Android Apps and Games] hrzsolt:
file size

Hi&greetings to all.

I follow Tony, as i have the exact same issue.

I would like to use a mk808b as a NAS device, hooked up a 1.5TB WD usb disk on it, so far it could be considered as a beta project.

What i am missing so much is a 100% working SMB server for Android.

There are plenty on the market, but so far only one of them - Sambadroid - should be considered as almost working on JB vs. Win7 environment.

The others are: cannot be seen from win7, or can be seen but cant connect, or crucial options are lacking, like setting up workgroup name, or set up ethernet as an interface. (I use an usb->ethernet interface, way better than wifi)

Sambadroid now lacks only two things:

- Copying of big files (mkv), For me the issue is that, - when i upload a 2GB< file, win says that there is not enough free space on mk808b. Strange, because meanwhile win explorer shows that there are plenty of room on it. When I download a big file from mk808b, transfer stops at about 2GB.

- It may be connected to the above issue, when i open a larger movie file through SMB on win7 it starts to play, but after some time it stops and wont move forward. My assumption is, that when the movie playback reaches the same 2GB barrier, stops.

To encourage the development I also upgraded to the pro version... please there is a need for a working SMB server for android.:good:

Thank you & Regards,

Zsolt
[Android Apps and Games] CheeseDave:
Cant get it work on Xperia Neo.

Starting the app, says up and running. On Win8 go to \\SAMBADROID, it prompts me the password, since no password click ok, and it says I dont have access. Since then I cant get any response from the phone, simply \\SAMBADROID The specified network name is no longer available.

When I reset settings it becomes available again, then it losts again. Once succesfully listed the base dir of sdcard with password, but then it became unavailable as always. The other SMB Server works, just very slow and very often disconnects, but I can reconnect there.

Tried to set interface to "wlan0" (based on netcfg), did not help.

Hi, I see in this thread that many users have the same problem as me of seeing many notifications (about every 5 seconds) that it has grated superuser permissions. However, I didn't find any solution for this problem. Is there any already?
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
I think that the best option would be to turn off the notifications in your superuser application.
[Android Apps and Games] FadeFx:

Unexpected termination on Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello all

Recently I installed the Pro version. After a reboot, SambaDroid starts as expected and the shares are available on the Windows client. The log says INFO: waiting for connections. After a couple of minutes, the log states ERROR: Service closed unexpectedly. This happens if connections are made or not. In fact, the smbd and nmbd deamons are still running and sharing is still active and working. In this situation, a restart will fail, the log says Info: ERROR = Address already in use, which can be expected, as the deamons are still running.

The only way to terminate the deamons is either by rebooting or killing the processes by hand, using a shell. After this is done, SambaDroid can be started again the usual way (for another couple of minutes).

Has anybody also seen this behaviour?

Thanks for any reply

Tony

[Android Apps and Games] gb.sn:
Problem with that is... its still hogging the device for su access every 5 seconds on the background. Its not a matter of notification, its a matter of it impacting the performance of the device by asking for su exaggeratedly often. su requests sometimes even happen within 2 seconds of each other.

This issue has been brought up on or before january of this year. 7 months later its still there. I basically moved from letting sambradoid run on the background all the time when wifi is on for convenience, to manually starting it and stopping it when transferring files.
[Android Apps and Games] t.schlumpf:
Thank you gb.sn for your reply

I tried to turn off supersu notifications, and, it works!:good:

I noticed the calls to the shell are status requests in the form samba.sh status. With su notifications enabled, there is no response (usually '1') after a few calls. This is when SambaDroid terminates, leaving the deamons running.

Again, thank you very much!

SambaDroid and VPN

Hi all,

Is it possible to get the samba server accessible to a VPN tunnel through the Wlan connection?

Did anybody try?

I am using Cisco AnyConnect and it creates a network interface called:

cscotun0

with its own IP adress, different form the wlan interface.

If I try to set WIFI interface binding to the name of this interface, it is not able to start the server.

The WLan configuration works fine.

I have also tried to disable "WiFi required".

Thanks for the help

Thanks and a Couple Questions

I have tried a bunch of similar apps on my new Minix NeoX5 and this was the only one I could actually get working. Great Job! Thanks.

A couple things:

(a) As with others, I am looking for a pro version on Play and do not find it. Is there some form of in-app purchase to do this? If so, what additional features come with the pro version?

(b) I am looking for a way to auto-start samba when the device reboots. So far, it seems I have to manually start it every time. I see there is a wifi auto-start option and maybe that will help. But my NeoX5 is not using wifi at all. It has an ethernet port to connect to my router. So I don't know if the wifi autostart would help at all. Is there some way to simply start this at boot? A script or such may be ok to do something here.

Thanks very much.
[Android Apps and Games] matata86:
(b) Use app Tasker.

You create profil:

- on boot - run app sambadroid - wait 5 second - go home -
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Well thanks. But I am not a tasker user (yet). I can use ScriptManager to run a script on boot with su that does the following:

am start -n berserker.android.apps.sambadroid/.MainActivity

This works but it i have to trigger it on network connection rather than on boot and it does leave the SambaDroid app in the foreground. I wonder if there is a way to just start the background service?
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
There is, by using an broadcast intent as described in the OP. But, you will need Tasker or like program that handles the broadcast intent.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Wow! I completely missed that. Sorry. I can maybe use the am broadcast command. Haven't tried that before. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Hello. When I use the command:

am -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START

from an su shell, the service doesn't start. But I do see a toast saying something about requiring Pro version. But it is not clear if this is coming from SambaDroid or maybe the SManager app. I looked at the list of things that SambaDroid says you get with the upgrade (when you start the purchase process). But I don't see anything that says you must have Pro to have it process a broadcast start intent.

Is there a listing of the differences between free and Pro versions anywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Hmm. There is in the dev's other apps, ie SSHDroid/SSHDroidPro and FTPDroid/FTPDroidPro - the free and pro versions will have different command line for broadcast intents.

But, there is no Pro version of SambaDroid app yet, at least that I am aware of. Are you running the Pro Version of ScriptManger - if not maybe ScriptManager is generating that toast message?
[Android Apps and Games] dbareis:
A pro version exists as i have it.. Think it was in app purchase
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Yes, you are correct, sorry. I have the Pro version as well, actually, lol. Forgot I guess. Just used to the other apps from the dev which are separate for free/pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] berserker_devel:
Hi, I wrote you a mail and yes this is a feature of the Pro version (you can find a summary of the "Pro" features in the purchase page of the app).
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Hi and thanks for your response here and in email. I appreciate your time and am very impressed with your app. You may want to include that this feature (the start broadcast) is something you get when you buy the Pro update to the summary. I have attached what the list looks like on my device.

Slow transfer speeds between nexus 4 and 7

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this site (first post) and would like some help please.

I have sambadroid pro on my rooted nexus 7 running the latest 4.3 android and i am only getting a transfer speeds of 400KB/s to my laptop and rooted nexus 4 . I wanted to use my nexus 7 as a wireless nas drive using my 1TB samsung hard drive connected via usb cable. I have it all working but its running very slow , i would like to know what speeds i should be getting between a nexus 4 and nexus 7 , i also have mapped the samsung drive onto my windows 7 laptop via the nexus 7 and still getting the same speeds.

Sorry if this has been posted before i did search for a while.

Many thanks

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I tried finding information elsewhere. I have 3 devices that have the same google play account. After purchasing for my Nexus 7 I went to see if I could upgrade on my Note 2. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling, trying to use the pro features brings me to the purchase page, but even following through with the purchase indicates "already purchased" and never upgrades the app. Do I have to copy the apk off my Nexus and side load it on the other 2 devices? Or is there some time delay involved in being able to properly upgrade?

Yeap, I get epic slow speeds with this app. Not to mention, when transferring like 500+ megabytes, the transfer basically times out.

[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
In a terminal window, issue the netcfg command and look at the output. Does not require root.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

On my Minix, I had to do a bit of fiddling. I use the ScriptManager app on the Play Store to accomplish most of it:

First I wrote a little script (ethernetUp.sh) that "toggles" the state of the eth0 interface:

#!/system/bin/sh

set -x

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 up

I use ScriptManager to run this script as root at bootup.

Second, I wrote another little script (startSamba.sh) that runs the SambaDroid app when the eth0 interface is UP:

#!/system/bin/sh

set -x

#am broadcast -a berserker.android.apps.sambadroid.command.START

ifconfig eth0 | grep up

if [ $? -eq 0 ]

then

am start -n berserker.android.apps.sambadroid/.MainActivity;

fi

I use ScriptManager to run this script as root on network change events.

So on boot, I am forcing the eth0 interface to be UP. This causes SambaDroid to start.

Hope this helps. Perhaps there is a better/easier way.
