SamH Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just got the Samsung Galaxy Ace today and I'm having a few issues with getting EStrong File Explorer to connect to my computer. Does anyone have experience with this program and a Windows 7 PC? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#!CrunchBang Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Don't blame the equipment, blame the user. The easiest way is to connect the phone via USB and making the phone connect as a disk drive, you should be able to do this by selecting it in the pop up on the home screen or in the notifications drop down. This way it'll act like a USB flash drive. There isn't any point trying to make it more complex than it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well of course I know how to plug it in and move files to it via USB connection, I'd rather just not have to and be able to do it remotely over my Wifi network.

blueether Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I hate getting windows to play nicly with file sharing over the network, some times it will just jot work then all of a suddon with no changes it will start and then run fine :facepalm: Does the wifi work on the phone, can you get an internet connection via wifi? You have file sharing turned on on the PC? You dont have wireless sepperation turned on in the router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yes I can get wifi on the phone, it was one of the first things I did. Yes I do. I don't think so, strangely I accidentally accessed an old laptop running XP. The phone can see the computer but just can't gain access to it. The computer however, has no knowledge of the phone except via USB and can't pick it up when it scans for devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 That's what I'm thinking now actually. Win7 makes it so difficult -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice222 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Haha looks like a lot of people utilized the boxing day sales to buy new phones. I was going to get a samsung galaxy ace, since I just wanted a cheap android so I can look stuff up off the net on the go, and have working GPS. Ended up getting an LG optimus black since I saw it for only $80 more than the ace (ie it was $399). It's really quite a bit better, lighter, slimmer, bigger screen, better screen, better video quality, faster processor, same specs for the camera but Optimus black has 2MP internal camera while ace has none and most importantly, I've read that optimus black will be getting ics, while ace most likely will not. Then again, LG is really bad at providing the actual updates. Optimus black is supposed to have gingerbread, but LG keeps putting off the release. Still a good phone regardless though, and I definitely prefer the bigger screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 The first thing I do to android phones is root them and install a clean OS off XDA, why wait for the phone makers to update the software when it is OSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
