I have just bought a 512MB card & wish to transfer a 133mb film to it how do I send straight to the card using activesync
Thanks Graham
sd card reader is the only way i know of.
If you want to start transferring large files, you 'must' get a card reader. They're dirt cheap now and will transfer your files in a whiz. It will take what seems like a lifetime doing it through AS.
If you must se AS, right click on the green AS symbol in the systray and select explore, from there you can navigate to the memory card and just drag/dropv the file as always in windows.
Heed the previous warnings though, it will take a long time; a card reader is about £6 and will speed the transfer up by orders of multitude.
Also, if you are going to be transferring a lot of big files you could try my new software which is underdevelopment, it sunchronises any files on the PPC to the desktop including memory cards, and will very soon have the capability to do the sync over a card reader to the memory card.

Thanks all
Unsure if it is the done thing here but I'd like to thank all those who have helped - I used the Explore feature as I didn't have a card reader & you were spot on as it took ages.
The 1st time I tried it crashed half way through I then had to reinstall Activesync which then interfered with my cordless mouse so I had to reinstall that.
On the 3rd attempt I finally got it done so I shall be buying a £ 6 card reader ASAP as it took 2 hours to sort LOL..
cheers again Graham
I love the UI, actually have Launcher 7 on my android.
I know the "apps" arguement will be over once Apollo releases.
Here is whats left that is holding me back.
I have to have an SD slot.
I am not a fan of the stock keyboard. I currently use Swiftkey and would like to see it on WP8.
Notification pull down bar. Need that to.
I am not familiar with what may be offered in Apollo, so if anyone can help convince me that my switch back to windows is sooner than later, me love you long time
Well its not really about 'convincing' you. No offense, but it's no skin off my ass if you don't switch over.
WP has pros and cons just like anything. Sounds like you're trying to come up with reasons to switch other than "I like it better", which would be unacceptable to the vast majority of Android users.

cool, launcher7 is great stuff !
as far as Apollo, just like -any- device not yet released, it is not real. It will become real when you walk into a store and see it on display, and can use it. Then, and only then will you know what it's options and capabilities are. I'm not saying you need to wait until then. Maybe buy a cheap phone off craigslist and enjoy it a while ?
..why would you switch to (discontinued) WinMo(bile) anyway? With your list of "requirements", you better stay with Android (for the time being) ......

The OP meant Windows Phone. Some people still call it that. Was interesting to see in the "I got smoked by a Windows Phone" segment a guy called it Windows Mobile.
Also, not only do you need features that Windows phone does not have, or has implementation in one or two phones (removeable sd), you are calling things that are Android specific.
Removeable SD - eliminates most WP7, iOS
Swiftkey - eliminates all but Android
Notification - eliminates all but iOS, Android
So even the combination of SD and pull down notification means Android is your only option. So just stick with Android.

If apps arguement will be over once Apollo releases, I think we can leave SwiftKey out - it's an app.
SD slot - Few Gen1 have them I think.
Notification pull down - will never be implemented in any of the WP build. It might mean copying iOS or Android and doesn't look like WP is (yet) trying to do that.
If you think you are one of those men Darwin talked about when he mentioned 'Adaptation' you will survive. Else Android is your choice.

i moved from android to wp7
sd slot? why?
stock keyboard is great, and i had swiftkey
notification bar? why? live tiles work great for notifications.
the only thing that sucks is the lack of good apps.
I need an SD slot because I have a 64 and 32 gig card with music. I dont want to stream my music
I can live with the rest
Well, RUMOR has it that Apollo is bringing SD card support. If thats the case, you will see plenty of Windows Phones sporting SD card slots.
However, nothing is official yet.

That is an insane amount of music. i have 2gb which is closed to 400 songs. I would not want to manage your playlist.
If that is a kicker for you then you have to wait till apollo. Supposively it's coming back then.
You can however stream 25gb from skydrive with an app if you don't want to pay for a monthly zune pass.
The gen 1 makes the sd part of the O/S unless you have for example a surround and disassemble it and replace the built in. That sd though becomes part of the phone and gets wiped to use it for memory. sd however is not as fast as the gen 2 built in memory and i think is the reason you don't see it for gen 2.
The stock takes care of most notifications (facebook, windows live ect) the messeging has all your txt and chats (facebook, msn ect) and your email can have a linked inbox or seperate (even folders) pinned tiles. Calendar is pinned as a tile. You aren't going to get a pull down ever because the whole idea of tiles is a 2 part. #1 is shortcut to an app and #2 is to notify you about something in the app (like weather for example)
I can't speak for the keyboard you talk about but the windows phone keyboard is one of the best.
Apps - there are a lot of great apps. They however may not be the same ones you have on other phones.

I know you are trying to help and convince, but the OP said he didn't want to stream. I have similar wants:
Huge sdcard capabilities, swappable with other devices, without needing reformatted and loosing the data.
Streaming is -always- a hassle, even on wifi. Playing from a sdcard is instantanious.
Sdcards do not need to be incredibly fast to play music, save a system state, save pictures/video, or what they were designed to do. Hopefully this is becoming apparent, and m$ will allow normal usage of them in the future, along with backing up the entire phone to said sdcard. That is a huge issue for me.
Anything you say(or anyone here) about apollo is speculation at this point. Until the device is in hand, this apollo talk is all speculation. Unfortunately, leaks and promises are not reliable or credible.
actually, sd card speed is becoming more important with onboard cameras being HD, sd speed makes a world of difference with the higher quality recordings.

Bah, sorry, I wasn't thinking about 1080p when I posted. If/when I have a newer mac 6or8 core to handle editing 1080p you better believe I'll start shooting it with my gopro !
I wonder how long a phones battery would last shooting 1080p ? Lol not much longer than a 16gb card would ?
I am excited to see what Apollo offers, not to mention Im waiting for a high end device to hit T-Mobile

yeah, with a gopro you would totally see a difference with slower cards. my gopro stutters with anything less than class 6.
gopro's are really sensitive though, i have a 1st gen that uses AAA's, if i don't use high mah batteries, the video quality it terrible.
as far as battery, not many people are filming feature length films with smartphones, it's a record and get out world with smartphones.

He didn't say why he wouldn't stream. Mist streaming is paid and you don't own the music. S if is a paid reason, skydive will over come it. I was telling him what other options windows phone has that can utilize his current collection. Also sd cards were not ment to be shared sd = secure digital. just no one except ms has actually used them securely. I'm not pushing him, and I did state all the facts. With windows mobile I used sd cards and they were slow as crap to transfer lots of info to and from. Granted they are faster now but they don't match the nand speed that these 2nd generation phones have 16gb of.

well if they wont add SD then at least make a phone with more than 8 gigs inside.
I also need to have a removable battery

agreed- the sd part of it is barely used, anywhere. the nand is so much faster, and it's cheaper by the day. might as well just make it a 32Gb phone, and an sdcard slot for the folks that carry their entire home computer in their pocket (on sd). actually, that's an even better argument -for- using a huge nand, and allowing sdcard sharing/mirroring/whatever as a big, dumb bucket to dump to.
i've run into quite a few people who are from outside the US that can't fathom the expense of streaming or uploading 2-3 files a day to have access to them.... while outside of the US. the expense involved for some users of just a cellular phone is an extravagance, streaming and/or cloud storage is nearly financially impossible.
... but here in the US we think nothing of tearing through 1Gb/day or even more to watch kittens roll over in 720p... sigh, i'm rambling now.
Developer love writing app for WP7 and they're will be more than the other 2 platforms since they can use skill they already have.
Hi,
I'm having some serious trouble getting Google Pay or any other alternative to work on my OnePlus 6. Whenever I try to add my debit card, I get a message saying there is some details wrong and to go over again and check for any faults. Nothing works.
And so I found a different wallet app that was supposed to work, called Cards - Mobile Wallet, but whenever I have my card open there and touch a contactless card reader, Google Pay pops up, asking me to add a card, even though I disabled Google Pay.
Anyone dealt with this before?
no issues with google pay here. I use with a couple of cards... Amex and a Visa...Are you sure your banks debit card is supported?
I tried with multiple cards. One card straight up didn't work, gave me a message saying it was unsupported and a different new card from a different bank kinda worked. Got up a contract or terms of service written by the bank in Norwegian (my language), when I accept that agreement, it loads some more and says to double-check card info.
How to work?
Understood everything, but how do I add the card in Google Pay app?
The app does not show any option?
