Hi, What version superuser do you use? Can you generate & send me a support log right after the problem occurs (PM me, pls dont post it here) and i'll take a look. - jc

I've just this weekend updated the Google Play store version to 140525 to address the JellyBean issues. - jc

also have you seen this thread (the download link on page 1 no longer works but someone has re-posted a new download link on page 4 or 5).

are you able to try testing with a linux system or XP as well? -jc

Heya, thanks for the description, can you tell me a bit more about it - did it only start doing that on the laatest dev release or does the market version act like that too? - does it happen when transferring files to/from a non Win7 system? - any difference in xfer speeds when the samba...

Regarding the initial file xfer rate issue some ppl have reported with the latest dev version, will do some testing and see what i can see (have only had a chance to skim the past few pages of posts so far, so apols if theres something in there i havent responded to yet, havent been on XDA...

Heya, I thought i'd already increased it to 15 - though the code may not be in the current release yet (or i just dreamed that i had fixed this...), dev environment isnt open just now, will take a look tho - thx too for posting your workaround + fades. - jc

Hey all, (finally) updated & uploaded new dev build 130413 of the app, hopefully addressing the following bugs: * Incorrect "Enabled / Not Running" status on the app main screen. * File permissions problem causing the device to show up on the network but not allow connections. * Display IPv4...

Erm, I had the new dev version built and ready to upload here a few days ago (so i thought) until i realised i'd 'lost' some of the features in the dev version - UI configurables, like the 'dont overwrite smb.conf option (I'm still working out just how i managed to 'lose' a couple hundred lines...

Heya Fade, yeah its this 'delay' while 'enabling' that causes some JB ROMs to either popup the "Stopped Responding - killed" or "Wait/ForceClose" messages, due to some less than optimal coding on my part :) sections of the Enable process in the app were taking too long. Have changed the code...

Hey guys, I cant reliably reproduce the problem on JellyBean that causes the app to hang leading Android to force-close it / popup "Wait / force close" option - I need someone who is hitting this problem so i can get some more info about it, confirm if what i'm seeing is the same etc - pls post...

Thanks for the feedback all. @fade - thanks for posting the modified samba-rc. @imakulate - if you cant get it to work i wouldnt stress too much, its only 'cosmetic' if you can hang out for a bit until a new dev version is available, filesharing should otherwise be working anyway when it shows...

If you're keen :) you can try editing /data/data/com.funkyfresh.samba/files/samba-rc to add the chmod line to the start section after line 17: ... 7 SPIDFILE=$PRE/var/locks/smbd.pid 8 NPIDFILE=$PRE/var/locks/nmbd.pid 9 10 case "$1" in 11 start) 12...

Ok, got a fix for the "Enabled - Not Running" incorrect UI status when samba is infact running... But for the "App stopped responding / Force Quit?" problem when launching the app or enabling samba within the app - can i get some feedback about the status of the following settings on peoples JB...

Happy to report that i wasnt hit by a bus***, eaten by zombies, kidnapped by Catherine-Zeta Jones held hostage with my mind and body being forced to perform for her indecent acts of Android development and ARM crosscompiling , or anything like that (ok, so maybe the CZJ thing i might be happy...

Hey guys, Have unfortunately been absent from further recent development of the app, just to let you know i will be looking into the problems reported running it on Android JB, with the the aim of providing a fix in an updated version of the app in Play store - not yet sure whether it will...

try am broadcast -a com.funkyfresh.samba.RESTARTSAMBA am broadcast -a com.funkyfresh.samba.STOPSAMBA ... @JimmyChingala Are you aware that if the app features work by receiving intents, you can talk with the Tasker dev to get it added in the 3rd party addon list? This would make combining these...

Hi, i've had a few Droid Bionic users report this (its an app bug, but so far only seems to occur on that particular device/ROM). Should be fixed in the next Android Market release ~1 or 2 weeks time (which will pretty much be the same as 111105 dev with this bug fixed). - jc

Hi, Not sure if its a cut+paste error but your ping test example is showing two different target/response hosts on your 192.168.1.x network: 192.168.1.99 & 192.168.1.197. And connectivity looks flaky. The app would only work properly once you have a reliable wifi network connection...

Hi, yeah this app uses an older version of Samba, which AFAIK wont store the original file creation date info... - jc ---------- Post added 11th December 2011 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 10th December 2011 at 11:50 PM ---------- Hi, From the app side of things, with the...

you can also tap the white 'samba' logo on the main screen to enable it if its disabled when the UI opens. - jc ---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ---------- copying a ~100MB file should give a good general indication of transfer rate (as reported by...

Even testing with something like ttcp, which does network <---> network transfer only (no file reading/writing so it removes any storage I/O time from the test completely) I still only see transfer rates of ~700KB/s (on older devices) to 3MB/s (on newer Android devices). Mobile device wifi in...

You running Win7 32 or 64bit? If you want to look into this further, other things i've seen that can cause the device to not be accessible by \\name (when Multicast Lock is on) include: - firewalling (on your PC, Wifi access point, Android [ie droidwall]) - cached authentication credentials...

Due to some code changes that are still a work-in-progress, the app's notification bar icon currently only displays when either Wifi Lock or Multicast Lock are enabled (I meant to enable Multicast Lock by default in the new market release but forgot, nice to know the icon is missed :) ). Wifi...

Hi, thanks for the stats. In the latest market & dev versions, try the 'Second Shared Folder' preference in the app settings at the bottom under the Test / Work in progress section. If your external microSD is FAT* formatted, the app should detect it and offer to share it. - jc ----------...

Hi, the app is only geared towards file sharing via local network / wifi, some other sync app would be the way to go for doing what you want beyond wifi range. The thread started out as a concept / feature request, and turned into an actual app somewhere along the way, which just stayed here -...

Yep, your wifi interface name while in tethering mode is wl0.1 but because you have the Dont rewrite smb.conf option set, smb.conf is not updated with that interface name. You could manually edit the smb.conf and add it to the interfaces entry, like interfaces = wlan0 wl0.1 - jc

Have some cake for me too, Maatsby :) The next Android Market update (based on the 110905 dev build)should be good to go next week or maybe later this week, just finishing up some testing. Fade, i dunno about brining in my own busybox, i know other apps do (or at least portions of a busybox...

Thanks, see what I can do... - jc

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. - 3G/mobile network interface: If some security related bug with Samba were to be found that allowed the device to be remotely compromised or DoS'd or whatever, having it on the 3G/mobile data interface leaves you bare-arsed open to the world for attack, so I...

Mixed guest and user access shares are not something i have looked into for the app, s o afraid icant offer any suggestions about that except to keep searchibg for info about it in other samba forums and mailing lists... The latest dev version does have some improvements for running the...

Cool, thanks for the feedback - its looking good as the basis for the next Market update/version, in a couple of weeks. - jc

Hi, Manual edits of the conf file arent officially supported, but can be done in the dev version - first go to Menu -> Settings and check the 'Dont rewrite smb.conf' preference. If this isnt set, then the app will over write with a new conf file each time it starts. Next make your shared...

Yeah that seems ok... I get 700-900 KB/s to/from my HTC Hero. About 2.5MB/s with my Asus Transformer. - jc PS Hope you can fix your device! ---------- Post added at 04:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ---------- Hi, I just copy with Windows, clicking the 'More...

Is that using the Android Market vers or latest dev build 110905 (link in my .sig) ? - jc ---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ---------- [UNRELATED] Holy carp. Its 10am. I need a cigarette. Or something. - JC

In the current (110602m) Android Market version, if you tick the 'Notification Bar Icon' option, then you will see the red 'S' in the notification bar when the Samba Fiesharing service is operational (means the smbd & nmbd UNIX daemon processes are merrily running along, doing their thing...

Thanks, i'm not expecting any probs with the already v.well tested samba+ext2/3/4 filesystems, (but no guarentees with THIS Samba build etc) so all feedback both positive & negeative is helpful! -jc ---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ---------- Hey...

Hey Fade, Have to admit, I leave it visible because I forget it during testing when changing it often, but point taken, the market version at least should implement it as a proper hidden passwd field :) - jc ---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM...

Hi, i've just uploaded dev build 110905. I've made some changes to the shell and SU testing routines that run during installation which will hopefully make them more durable (or at least report more information about any problems encountered). Also wifi tethering mode code improvements (Samba...

Hi, yeah 40-60k/sec is pretty crap. If its happening only on that router but not others, well ... Something you could try: I have seen reports of general wifi performance improvements in other forums just by changing authentication methods (eg different WPA or WPA2 security types) but nothing...

Hi, thanks i'll look into it. Did it work on the current Android Market version, or previous versions? - jc Hey, NFI I'm afraid, I test on Android emulators, and a few devices that i own, but otherwise rely on user feedback - try it out and report your results. - jc Hi, if you're using...

Hi, what ROMs and mount management apps are you using? - jc Hi, Its not a problem that has previously come up but I can see why it might be undesirable on larger networks or managed networks (The Samba doco gives a good browsing desc ). Will keep it as a configurable. - jc

:) Let me know how you go with that - am also interested in systems & network management tools in Android (perhaps IPMI capability would be good to add to your list, for monitoring & managing systems that have IPMI controllers). Just now got a basic but functional PXE boot server running off...

Hi, If you just want filesharing functionality similar to this app, its probably easier just to use smbd,nmbd,smbpasswdbin executables from this app's package and specify -s /location/to/your/smb.conf when running each one (then settings the various samba-related paths in the conf file) and save...

Ah curses, yeah that part of the code still needs some work it seems.. Until I do, along with the Dont rewrite smb.conf option and your changes to smb.conf, you could use something like GScriptLite to manually start and stop filesharing - make a samba-start script that...

Hi, whats the tunnel interface name? I havent done any testing over tunnel interfaces, if you want You could test how it goes with the latest dev build: - in settings under the 'test / debug' section check "Dont rewrite smb.conf" - manually edit /data/data/com.funkyfresh.samba/files/smb.conf...

Any firewalls in the way? If you're using ROMs based in part on stock HTC ROMs you might be hitting this ****ty issue with HTC's builds of wpa_supplicant. To check, you could temporarily replace your /system/bin/wpa_supplicant with one from Cynogen ROMs compatible with your devices (they've...
