Mae-Fi allows you to transfer images from an Eye-Fi SD card in your camera to your Nokia N9 or N950. It simulates the Eye-Fi “Direct Mode” offered in other mobile platforms.


Warnings:


Data charges may apply during operation of Mae-Fi.


Instructions for use:


  1. Setup the Eye-Fi Card using the Eye-Fi Centre application that comes with the card. You must use a X2 Pro card as it is the only Eye-Fi card that supports Ad-Hoc networks.

  2. Copy the Upload Key from C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Eye-Fi\Settings.xml on Windows platforms, or from ~/Applications Data/Eye-Fi/Settings.xml on Mac

  3. Using Mae-Fi, enter the “Settings” tab and type or paste the Upload Key in the Text Box.

  4. Open Hotspot and make sure that the Eye-Fi card is connected to the N9(50) Hotspot.

  5. Press “Start” in Mae-Fi to start listening to the Eye-Fi card.

  6. Pictures will upload to the /home/user/MyDocs/maefipics folder. There is a shortcut to the Gallery Application within Mae-Fi.

  7. Press “Stop” in Mae-Fi to stop listening to the Eye-Fi card.


Tips:


  1. Relayed Transfer should be set to Off in the Eye-Fi setup.

  2. Low battery conditions in the camera, or the N9(50) can prevent pictures from transferring.
