Xender For iPhone - How to Connect and Transfer Files With Android

Xender For iPhone - How To Connect and Transfer Files With Android

Xender For iPhone still comes very much in handy in 2017. If you are an iPhone user, you are probably aware of the limitations with iOS.

One of the prominent being unable to download files. By files, i am making reference to music and video files. Being able to download pictures on the platform is still very valid.

Other than being able to download files, sending and receiving files from iPhone to other OS platform like android, can be a pain in the butt.

Jailbreaking sorta makes the experience better. However, jailbreaking voids your warranty (that’s if you still have one). So, in most cases, I wouldn’t exactly advise jailbreaking. Except you care less about your phone’s warranty.

Thanks to likes of Xender, transmitting files between Android and iOS is achievable. You do not necessarily need a computer for this. The xender app being installed on both the iOS and the Android device is enough.

Of course, there are steps in-other to make the transmission a success. Steps I’d be outlining here. First off, you should download Xender for iPhone HERE. Alternatively, search the App store for Xender and download.

Xender For iPhone – How To Connect To Android
The process is pretty simple. Although there is a guide on the app which shows you how to connect Xender for iPhone with Android, I’d like to do the same here.

Launch the Xender App on your iPhone

Now, launch the Xender app on the Android device

On the Xender for Android, tap on the Arror option. This brings up the option of either to send, or receive.

Look below the options. Tap on Connect to iOS

When the connection is complete, return back to the iPhone.

On the iPhone, Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.

Tap and connect to the Wi-Fi network starting with ADYYS…..

Return back to the sender app on the iPhone and you should get a successful connection sound.

The iPhone name should display on the Android Xender app.

Same applies to the Android Name on Xender for iPhone app.

This signifies that both devices are now connected to Xender.

At this point, you can begin transmitting files from the iPhone to the Android. You can also transfer files from the Android device to the iPhone.

Basically, you can only transmit Music files, Videos and documents between both devices. Apps excluded. That’s very much understandable.

Things To Note Regarding Transmitting Files Between Android and iPhone Via Xender
You do not need an active internet connection for this.
Files sent from Android to iPhone via Xender, stays in Xender. What this entails is, music files cannot be found on the iPhone Music library. Hence, you can only play the received music files on the Xender app.
You can download files on the iPhone via Xender. However, that doesn’t apply to system files. System files like Videos stored under the TV app cannot be deleted. These files however, can be sent via Xender for iPhone.
Best Way To Transfer Music Files To The Music Library On iPhone?
The Xender app for iPhone has an inbuilt Music and Video player. Hence, there shouldn’t be a problem with having to play received files via the app.

However, for flexibility sake, the default apps on iOS is always recommended. And since you’d like to have the files on their respective apps, using a computer is better advised.

This, you can attain using iTunes. However, if you just need to transfer specific files and not synchronize, iTransfer could come in handy.

So, there you have it guys. That’s essentially how to connect and use Xender for iPhone in transmitting files with Android. Questions? Feel free to rely using the comment session.

Hands-on : Sony's Xperia Touch turns (nearly) any surface into a Touchscreen

Hands-on: Sony's Xperia Touch turns (nearly) any surface into a touchscreen

What's This?
It's a portable projector that plays sound, and outputs an image you can interact with.

Sony's newly-launched Xperia Touch says it can convert any flat surface into a 23-inch wide touchscreen.

In practice, we found this worked pretty well, but with some caveats that we'll get into.

The Touch detects movement using an infrared light and built-in camera, essentially projecting a tablet-like experience onto a surface. 

The device runs on Android 7.0, so you can expect it to run a ton of compatible apps in the Google Play store.

So feel free to load up a game of air hockey: 

Do some flashy DJing:

Unleash your inner DJ with the Xperia Touch
Play the piano:

Or even ask Google for food recommendations:

Overall, the Xperia Touch was easy to use, but there were times that it wasn't as responsive as it could be.

While writing a math problem for example, the Touch misread a number:

The Touch also appears to require a purely flat surface. When we tried it on a slightly textured floor, the projected touchscreen refused to respond to any of our gestures.

You can also take the device and position it vertically to project a screen onto a wall — though the Touch does take a couple of seconds to re-calibrate itself every time you move it round.

The default projection size is 23 inches, but can go up to a maximum size of 80 inches — perfect for a home movie night — though the resolution does get noticeably less sharp at the largest size. 

Its sound quality is pretty impressive, as you would expect from a device that prides itself on its two-way stereo speaker.

Have a listen:

It also has USB-C and HDMI Type-D input, so you can also plug your laptop or phone in, and use it as you would a normal projector that mirrors your device's screen.

The 5.3" by 5.6" device is also pretty small and portable, and I can see it getting carried around the house by kids wanting to play a game, or placed on a coffee table to watch a film in the living room.

The battery life however, does leave quite a bit to be desired.

According to Sony, it can last some "1.5 hours on intensive usage," which means if you're watching a full-length movie, you might have to plug it in halfway through. 

The company also says there has been interest in using the Touch commercially, such as in mall spaces that might want to replace their screen-based directories with a touch projection on a wall, revealed Vincent Yip, Director and Market Head of Sony Singapore.

All that said, the Touch is a pretty sweet device, and might come in handy if you'd like to take your screen into a group setting.

But is it worth the hefty $1,694 (S$2,298) price tag? I think I might just stick to my laptop and iPhone for now.
