AirDroid: WebApp untuk Koneksi Smartphone Android

Untuk mengkomunikasikan smartphone dan tablet berbasis android, selain melalui sshdroid seperti yang telah saya jelaskan disini, ternyata ada cara lain yang lebih praktis dan efisien, yakni menngunakan aplikasi AirDroid.

Konsep dasar aplikasi AirDroid ini adalah bahwa smartphone / tablet bukan seperti USB flashdisk, jadi ketika terhubung ke komputer, seharusnya menampilkan jenis-jenis data seperti gambar, musik, kontak telfon dan sejenisnya. Hal ini berbeda dengan ketika anda menghubungkan ponsel/tablet android anda dengan kabel USB, maka tampilan yang diperoleh berupa drive-drive sistem Android. Konsep tersebut diimplementasikan dengan tiga filosofi AirDroid: One less cable, One less screen dan One less worry.

Untuk memulai koneksi smartphone Android dengan PC, terlebih dahulu silakan download aplikasi AirDroid di Google Play. Setelah terinstall, silakan tekan ikon AirDorid dan akan muncul gambar seperti di bawah. Di layar PC anda silakan ketik alamat URL yang ditunjukkan oleh smartphone ini. Metode koneksi melalui URL ini lebih cepat karena hanya melalui interlan wlan saja daripada koneksi langsung ke web airdroid.com.

Solving Wifi Problem after update Eee Pad TF201 to ICS 4.0

Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 originally came with Android 3.2.1 Honeycomb. However, the company provide the official update to Icecream Sandwich 4.0.

A problem was occurred after I updated the honeycomb to Icecream on my Prime. I can connect to the network via browser but cannot via application such as Google play, Gmail, you tube and others.

I googling to find the solution, but no idea applied. I read the manual book from the internet, and there is a way to factory reset the device. I do that trick.

Setting >> Back up & Reset >> Factory Reset

After that, your prime will reboot and ask you to sign in your Google account. It still works on Icecream and the next you can install application via play, check email via gmail app, and watch video via you tube app.

That works for me! it' s a real solution.

Solve Screen Flickering on Android ICS Transformer Prime

After updating android 2.3 ginger bread to 4.0 icecream sandwich, I got a problem on my transformer. I am not alone, but other prime users also experienced it. After trying some solution, I find the following cold booting can solve screen flickering on prime, at least for temporary.

First, to cold boot, shut down your tablet completely: with the tablet still on, press power and hold it for 2 or 3 seconds until you get the "Power down" prompt. Tap ok to shut down. Don't plug it into computer, or unplug it if it is connected to computer. Make sure to dock it on the keyboard if you have (TF101, TF201, TF300, TF 700). Once the tablet is off, hold on the "volume down" control, it is placed on the side furthest away from the power button. Without releasing it, press and hold the power button and please don't push or release either button. Do it in 10 seconds until you see two icons pop up in the middle of the screen i.e Wipe data and Android.

If there is no two icons, you did the wrong cold boot and it is not entering cold boot yet. Do it again until you see two icons appear and release the button after it. The screen flicker now is gone. However, if you still experience screen flicker, try to remove some application like opera, dropbox or others on which screen flicker was occurred when you run those application.

Based my experience on using Ubuntu linux on PC, this problem is related on Linux kernel as the core of Android OS.
