PirateBox

I tried this on 4 rooted android devices. It only works on one of them. But on that one, it's awesome. Clearly there's some compatibility issues though. But for now I have an old phone with a 64gb flash drive plugged into it working. Its sitting in my window and 2 of my neighbors have downloaded stuff from it over the last 24hrs. I'm happy with that so far!

Hey there, I am on a Note 4 Samsung for Sprint. I get an endless loop on it being setup. Could you give some help this way? I know this would be an amazing app to have.

Fascinating concept. I really like the idea of it. Could prove interesting if you use it in a crowded place. Doesn't work on every phone. Developer needs to fix SD write_permissions.

Users can never connect as they can't obtain a IP address. Tried on Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Samsung devices as well as some Chinese phones

App has started working on my Moto E 2nd Generation on Android 7.1.1 but it would be nice if the hotspot option ticked on and off automatically without me having to press it.

The only app that works with my phone, root access or not.

Absolutely love that this is on Android now but my fav feature of the piratrbox was the forum, I hope

Didnt work on moto x2

I want to have coustom name graphics and set so I can. Share content of a folder.

Root

Works brilliant on my OnePlus one using KitKat but can't run dnsmasq in lollipop. Please update to android 5 compatibility so I can keep sharing freely

It doesn't work with my note 3.it just cycles on and off

I find it awesome that Piratebox is now available on android and appreciate the work of the devs. However it would be nice if the icons and images where higher resolutions to give it a professional feel.

Could not get anything to connect to the ap once it was created. Cool idea thou keep up the good work.

I want to know the cheapest phone this works on. Any ideas? I just don't want to spend a whole lot.

I have the battery TP-Link version of this. Thought it would be fun to have a few of these in phone form.

dnsmasq not created.

Works great as file sharing server

I have a Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop says my device isn't supported. Please fix. I want to review it for my YouTube channel.

Amazing App works really well with Nexus 6 CM12. Any plans to allow a larger upload limit beyond 2GB.

Very well-done app, kudos! One suggestion would be to make easier to connect to it (i.e., a message that says to which IP users can use).

I have an old galaxy s4 that i wanted to use it on but I cant because it doesnt have a sim card so the wifi hotspot wont turn on. Oh well

This helps a lot for a small group to centrally share photos and files between each other on a trip.

Thank you, runs perfectly even on average phone. Very good job sir.

Could you add an option to allow the access point to normaly resolve domain names(or maybe with a custom dns server like openNIC) and connect the client to them. And only connect to the internal pirate(.)box site if the user types an unresolveable url into his browser ? Upload/Shout Notifications; option to disable uploading

I now have pictures of a bleeding toe in my PB_store directory...

This is a test install before i make something more permanent with my rpi :)

Works great on my Transformer tablet. But on my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini the hotspot is blocking the app from working. Because I am not subscribed to the tether thing.

Not supported on galaxy S6 but I would love to see it supported. Would get a lot more downloads.EDIT: LOL, I did not even know that this was the official app. But please! Make this device supported

Just keep bouncing back and forth between on and off until I restart my phone

Keeps switching the tethering on and of every few seconds and ends up rebooting my phone. Not a stable application on my Galaxy S 4.

Switches on for a couple seconds then fails to fully turn on. Continues doing so until it causes a full reboot. Great concept but wish it supported more phones :/

As I understand, this app extends the tethering functionality already programmed into Android builds for cellular devices. If your device does not have a cellular radio, the support functionality is not there, and the app will not work. This is disappointing as cellular connectivity has no relation to creating a WiFi hotspot.

It's not working.. Which is a supported device???

Works in my tablet

It doesn't work with my note 3.it just cycles on and off

Could not get anything to connect to the ap once it was created. Cool idea thou keep up the good work.

Sadly unsupported on the Samsung i9000 even though website says it will work

I'm using it as file sharing. Faster than any sharing app you know
