My phone can be a pain sometimes. Installed the new version, no dice. How do I see if another program is using 8888 on my phone?

I'm not too savy with the network stuff, but the LAN IP of the router is 192.168.2.1, and both phone and computer are 192.168.2.x. I browsed to whatsmyip.org on the computer and my phone, and they matched what the router displays as my WAN IP.

I'm going to try restoring an old NANDroid Sense backup and see if it'll work on that.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Strange. Could you check logcat again? The 'Address already in use' error should be fixed. I am not sure if an android tool exists for checking busy ports. (Just to be sure, browsix version v1.6.4)

Those settings seem fine to me. Did you try pinging your phone from the computer? That should at least work.

Thanks, I really want to figure this one out.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Have you checked the router's control panel to see the active client list and check out what local ip addresses are used and what ports are used? I do know that most routers default to 192.168.1.1 instead of .2.1. Probably doesn't have anything to do with it, but who knows...
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
I tried pinging the phone as soon as it had a problem, it couldn't complete.

The problem appears to be with CM6.1.1, or something I've installed on it. I wiped and did a clean install of a Sense 2.2 ROM, and Browsix works perfectly. My phone shows up on my router's DHCP list, and it is ping-able.

I'll try doing a clean install of CM6.1.1 next to see if that's actually my problem (maybe something with how it interacts with my router?) or if it's something I installed.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: I just did a fresh install of CM6.1.1, and it's broke again. Here's the logcat:
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
It might be a CM6.1.1 bug as it works perfectly with a Sense 2.2 ROM. (I think it is related to the following bug report for CM6.1 http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...Priority Version Owner Summary Stars Modified )

Someone familiar with this bug?
[Android Apps and Games] waauwoo:
works fine on my hero with CM 6.1.0.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ungaze:
Now THATS amazing. Thx for this. Now if only we can have root files access as well.
[Android Apps and Games] alphadeeto:
works great on my HTC HD2 on Cedesmith Desire HD.. could you make it sync via 3G connection? :D
[Android Apps and Games] worker1:
Wow this is nice. Just some things that could be better:

music: audio files are organized by track name instead of file name so

"02 alfalfa eater.mp3" plays before "01 zebra song.mp3"

There's no audio on the videos when I play them in the browser. Of course, it has a "click here to download" link so its not really a problem.

It would be nice to upload directories, and not just files. I see you can create a directory and then upload your files to it with the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Wow guys, thanks for all you replies!

I will try to implement and publish this by tomorrow. I will let you know.

3G is another story, I will have to think about that one.

Thanks for your feedback. Depending on what browser and what plugins you use, it might have difficulties playing video and audio files. This really depends on your setup.

I will increase the file upload size to 10MB for the next release of the free version. It could be that I add the 'create directory' feature to the free version as well.

Don't hesitate to post more feedback! And please spread the word about Browsix ;)

Can anyone post the .apk? I've got Android installed on an O2 Joggler but it doesn't have Market access.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Nice App! Works great in my SGS!

Could it be possible to create a widget to turn on/off the browsix?

And about copy/paste and move of files feature ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BeerChameleon:
Suggestion/Idea

Suggestion: Maybe an option to move folders around: I have yet find an app that lets me do Moving,Rename,Delete and add file over wireless.

I know i had one on windows mobile that i could access FTP Filing via my computer which was awesome, if you could do that that would be sweet.

Great Work
[Android Apps and Games] rascarlo:
Working great on my desire. I loved PC sync in miui native app file manager. Now I'm using browsix in oxygen 2.0. Nice job. Easy and without candies.
[Android Apps and Games] deckoff:
Works fine on my Desire HD.

On HD2, with SuperRAM 1.5 Mod,

I see the phone listed on www.browsix.com, but clicking on it I got error message, will restart and report.

I see the phone listed in my router.

I added HD2 local ip in DHCP list.

Restarted the phone, too.

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.104:8888.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Firefox 3.6.13 with Ubuntu 10.04

As I said, no problems with Desire HD, I installed the app first on HD2 and then tried on Desire HD.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Great suggestions, I will add them to my TODO list. I am getting some excellent feedback now, I will do my best to implement some new features asap.

If you have some spare time left, could you post logcat output? (See a few posts up for more information on how to do this)

Thanks!

Slideshow Tweaks

First, thanks for taking the time to develop this app. I've been playing around with it on my work network (connected via NetExtender on phone). In the slideshow, the pictures I took in portrait orientation (as opposed to landscape orientation) are being squeezed. It looks like there is a height limitation in the aspect ratio.

EVO
[Android Apps and Games] heathge:
Works Great so far

Thanks for this. Great time saver.

Working on 3G.......did I miss a post somewhere?
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
This seems like the same bug as a couple of posts up here. I think we will have to file a bug report about that. If I find some time, I will try to create a little app that creates a network socket, I think this will show the same error on these custom roms. It would be even better if someone else could prove this :D

There is indeed a height limitation, I will check if I can improve this.

Well, it is possible to work on 3G, but this is carrier dependent, probably much slower, and you should know that there is a security risk. When you are connected using WLAN, only computers in your local network can access your phone, but if you are connected using 3G, everyone can communicate with your phone (if they know your IP address). So I guess the bottomline is: be careful.
[Android Apps and Games] th1rt33nth_w4rr10r:
great app!! tested the lite version before deciding whether I should upgrade to pro or not.. decided not to do the upgrade now because I can't seem to be able to browse the photos -> using Nexus One with CyanogenMod-6.1.1 and Firefox 4 latest beta (can't remember which number the beta is, but it's the latest one)..

everything else works well except for some videos (seems like those videos are not supported for streaming, so that one's okay).. will be testing using another browser tonight, might be browser related because Firefox just crashed and asks whether to continue running a script or not whenever I try to open the photos menu.. if chrome also doesn't work, I'll be sticking with WebSharing for now which basically shares the same function.. keeping the lite version to stay in touch if there are any updates.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dubyajaysmith:
In case you're not around wifi, i tested wifi tethering on my nexus one and it worked =D Rock on and nice work. I would make a qr code to your market link or just the market link and put it in the OP, some of us are lazy =D Keep up the good work. Oh, I'm glad you're not spam BTW =D

@thirteenthwarrior I have a sexy nexy on cm6.1.1, but use google chrome and was able to browse photos using only wifi tether too? odd. maybe something with FF's beta.
[Android Apps and Games] glm1157:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Set up Browsix on my stock Captivate. Started it. I cannot get past the login screen on my PC browser. I see the web page. When I kill the browsix service the login page goes away. It acts like I'm always giving it the wrong password. Checked the obvious stupid-user tricks. Tried several different passwords and no password. Same result.

Does my phone need to be rooted?

Thanks,

Gary
[Android Apps and Games] Streakr:
Can you tell me what versions are available on the market? Is this 2.0 or higher?
[Android Apps and Games] BlindCamel:
I was wondering if its possible to use this app while using my wireless hotspot tethering. Im assuming that because im using my phone as a router that the pc and phone are both on the same network
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Do you have FireBug installed in Firefox? Did you see an error on the FireBug console? I have not seen problems with different versions of Firefox, it might be a new bug in the latest beta.

I'll do that, thanks.

Did you try without the security option? (The security option is only necessary if you don't trust your own LAN network). If you enable security, your browser will have to support cookies.

Your phone doesn't need to be rooted.

2.1 is the minimum requirement
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
This should work, check out dubyajaysmith's post
[Android Apps and Games] deckoff:
I would like to report that after changing my before mentioned SuperRAM build with the DMT NAND ROM released last night the app is running without any problems. It might have been the build, and app I used to work, or I dont know, but now everithis works as expected... :)
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I promised I would publish a new version today... Well, here it is:

- Increased file upload size for the lite version to 10MB. (Full version has unlimited upload size)

- Added rooted folders to the file manager (This feature is disabled by default, you can enable it in the new tabbed interface).

- Layout improvements

- Several bugfixes (And one important fix: Browsix could not be disabled when you pushed the home or back button)
[Android Apps and Games] rubyglow:
Some feedback

Thanks for the app. I tried the lite version and here's som initial feedback:

* The concept of going to browsix.com and it will show your device is VERY smart! It's a huge convenience over having to read and then type IP adress + portnumber. Well done.

* The webinterface could do with some UI design work, but is mostly functional.

* Sending an SMS worked. Great!

* When sending an SMS the contact picker is a mess. It should be alphabetically sorted, and should only show contacts with a _mobile_ number.

* Photo viewing worked fine.

* The music player is a mess. Hitting play plays music with echo/twice. Hitting pause does not pause but seems to remove the echo. There is no way to stop the playing. Starting to play another song, you now have two songs playing simultaneously, etc..

* The filebrowser is primitive, and there is no tooltips on the unintuitive icons, so very afraid where I click, and not sure what's going on.

Keep going, this could be a SUPER app, if you put in the work. I'll stay tuned to the progress.
[Android Apps and Games] rascarlo:
Got better with the today's update. Important bug has been fixed. Like it

System files

Can you access and edit system files with this app?
[Android Apps and Games] k2ascent:
I've been playing around with the SMS and music features - works awesome.

Seems like a great tool to have when you're sitting at your desk and don't want to respond to SMS messages on the phone ever time!
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Helpfull feedback, thanks!

I have added the ability to browse system folders to the latest version. You should enable this feature on the advanced tab.
[Android Apps and Games] durtydawg:
Thanks for working so hard on this app, I am using an Aria with Stock rooted rom, I can connect to browsix and see my pics and it does show my folders but when I try to download I get server error.

I was hoping to upgrade to pro version to be able to delete bloat ware easily. I will keep an eye on this thread as you seem to be working diligently on making this a great app.

I am a rookie when it comes to android but if there is a way I can get more information for you about my issue let me know. I am using Firefox on windows XP pro sp3

here is the server error I am getting Got the error: Server Error

while trying to obtain /files/

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
Does this only happen when trying to download the entire sdcard/ folder (this is indeed a bug)? Do you get the same error for subfolders?
[Android Apps and Games] YoungJ030:
Don't know about anyone else but this is super slow. The App is a great idea however. But it's taking forever to load things.

Hope to see this improved in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] durtydawg:
Thank you for pointing out my mistake, I was clicking the folder instead of the folder name to show the contents of the folder. After doing it correctly I was able to download files no problem.

I will be moving to the paid version. I know this has nothing to do with your app, but can anybody tell me if I delete the bloatware app like stocks do I need to delete the odex file as well to free up the space?

Thanks again for another great app to add to my collection:D
[Android Apps and Games] penhapus:
Nice app

Can I use this to change the start-up noise without rooting my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
Great app! Installed on my Desire HD, pointed Firefox at the phone and Robert's your father's brother! Didn't go through the Browsix web site - just bookmarked the IP address - it *should* stay the same as my home network doesn't change much.

Awesome tool! Just bought it on the Market.

And if I may post a bug report here: German umlauts (äöü) are not encoded correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] siehead:
security problem

Not sure what is going on, but when I tried to log in with my galaxy tab and clicked on my phone's description, a problem loading page appeared.

The main concern was that I saw approximately 20 other phones available (and was able to search through them all). I work in a small office with a couple other people so they definitely were not on the same wifi.

Uninstalled until the security risks are hashed out.
[Android Apps and Games] cashrox:
Serious Security Flaw

I wanted to like the app, and I did like the app quite a bit but you seem to be able to browse a lot of other phones. I'm just thankful I used a password.

Sorry seems like it might be fixed now. I won't be using it for a while after this weirdness though.
[Android Apps and Games] DS1495:
thanks for this great app dev! works great for typing out those long texts! :D
[Android Apps and Games] seboj:
For anyone having problems with Browsix on CM6.1.1 like I was, here's a workaround. Zervic found it on CM's forum and was nice enough to post it on the Aria XDA forum.

One troublesome thing I found, was that my phone was still browse-able for a few moments after disabling the Browsix service.
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
This can only happen if there are other phones in the same local network (basically behind the same router which will give you your local IP address). So my advice is to enable security if you don't trust other users in your local network. I might add an option to not use the browsix.com feature in the future, but then you will always have to manually type the IP address in your browser.
[Android Apps and Games] edwhiu:
Using SMS function

SMS function works fine from computer. Such a comfort typing with a full scale and physical keyboard.

A few questions though :

- Were are the SMS messages I am sending out using Browsix? I don't see them on my phone sms apps (Handcent or Nexus Messaging).

- Incoming SMS show up in Browsix SMS Inbox and disappear when I use another function. I have to use the phone SMS inbox to retrieve them.

- When I am sending out SMS using Browsix do I get charged by my carrier?

I could upgrade to the paid version after the trial period.

Congratulations for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
can't connect via usb cables eh? :o
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
The sent SMS messages are not stored to your default outbox because there is not yet a standard way of doing this on Android. In a future release, I will add a Browsix outbox, so you can keep track of your sent messages.

The same is true for the inbox, I will have to create a Browsix inbox.

Yes, you will be charged for your messages. The messages are really sent by your phone.

You made some great suggestions, I will add them to my todo list.

To everyone: If you like Browsix, could you please post a (positive) review to the market?. There seem to be a few unhappy people and they are breaking down our market score.

Thanks,

Stijn
[Android Apps and Games] by45:
it's a great app!

but I can't access to my sdcard. it takes like forever for me. :(

it works to access to my root folder though.

and i don't get any results when i put some characters(i'm using Korean) in the contacts field on SMS. guess it supports only english?

it would be more awesome if sdcard access problem could be solved.

Does this app have any effect on battery?

And is SMS sort of "push" or do I need to refresh website in order to see new sms messages.?
[Android Apps and Games] xantiv:
Just bought the app. Whenever I try to upload multiple large divx files the app crashes. When I try to upload them one at a time it usually hangs and doesn't finish. I have an Evo with Myn's RLS 4 with Netarchy's sbc 4.3 kernel. Works well for small files, but not so much for large files or directories. Would it be possible to have a progress bar for uploads/downloads?
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I am not sure what the battery impact is. The SMS page should not be refreshed, if a new message arrives, it will popup. I will further improve this page (with an inbox/outbox ...)

How big is the file you are trying to upload? What browser are you using? Did you see any error? Could you check with logcat? I might have to do some more tests to get this fully functional.

I got a lot of feedback so you can imagine that I am very busy at the moment, thanks for your patience!
[Android Apps and Games] xantiv:
Tried to upload 175 mb - 300 mb files via Chrome on my PC. If i select multiple files, Browsix crashes on my Evo. If I select one file, it uploads but only partially and stops without any error or warning. I have not checked logcat. I'll probably stick with just uploading via SMB shares.
[Android Apps and Games] Pedroid:
Very nice app! There are some things that I noticed you might want to mention to new users:

1. When I first installed Browsix, I entered a name, checked the "enable Browsix" option, and then tried to edit the password. I could input some characters, but backspace was not working, and the "enable security" checkbox was greyed out. When I unchecked the "enable Browsix" option, everything was configurable. You might want to mention somewhere that one has to disable Browsix before editing options.

2. This worked over 3g (Mobile Vikings in Belgium) although it all went quite slow. The website loaded the tumbnail pictures of my gallery, and when I clicked several without waiting for them to load, they still all tried to load and after a minute or so I had them all flashing on screen for a second. I suspect the requests for the pictures aren't canceled when a new request comes in.

3. On Chrome, you have to click on the top 2 mm. of the password box to be able to put your cursor in it and type. The "login" button has the same issue. Also, one has to click the "login" button for the login to work, pressing enter just seems to refresh te page.

4. you mentioned that you updated the app so it would close when pressing the "back" or "home" button on your phone, but this is not the case on my stock Desire as long as Browsix is enabled. This is probably a function and not an error, but I thought I'd mention it.

5. There doesn't seem to be a logout button on the website, something like that would be quite handy.

Overall a very nice and promissing app! Congratulations :)

I have published a new version to the market with the following new features:

Hello,

so far, it's impossible for me to browse a folder with an accent, like vidéos

I have to rename it to videos and then that's ok

First time I tried to upload a file with the new context menu, I got a bit lost, I didn't know what to do (I had to click on the link below)

Would it be possible to open the file selector window when UPLOAD TO is clicked?

Anyway, the new right-click context menu is really great!
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
I will check what I can do to support accents, thanks for reporting this.

I changed the file uploader to be more intuitive (file selector window is now opened immediately)

I also added a new feature to the latest version: cut/copy/paste files across directories.
