    Another stupid networking question

    ...except it is not stupid.

    I have a cell phone with wireless capability. The new LG840G, a GSM handset from TracFone. Their first touch screen, 1600 by 1200 camera, MP3 ringtones (my last TracFone, just a few years old, used MIDI files). It's a very nice "slab" phone.

    I typed in my 63-character WPA key (you read that right), then pointed my main PC's browser to 192.168.1.1 (WRT-54GL with DD-WRT firmware) and the phone did receive an IP address.

    Now what? Can I ftp files onto it? Can I put it in Windows' "network neighborhood"?

    I'm pretty clueless with networking, and obviously I can't pop a setup CD into my phone or anything.

    (I can transfer files using a USB cable just fine.)

    Even with TracFone's firmware, the phone should behave somewhat standardly. Can anybody tell me the basics, or what might be possible, as far as storing files wirelessly?

    (This phone has bluetooth, but bluetooth has always been a pain for me.)

    Thanks in advance!

      Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
      by SluggerB
      I have two TCL A30 phones.

      Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

      New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

      My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

      new OS on a Sonim XP5s phone
      by keeney123
      To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
      I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound...
