Uploading - Captivate General

How do you upload things besides photos from mobile? Is it possible?

Depends on where you're uploading it to. I use AndFTP to transfer files to and from my server. There's also dropbox...

I can get it to dropbox, but how do I get it to xda from there?

Oh, you meant to xda, I thought you meant in general.. you won't be able to with tapatalk. Maybe through the browser by using the full xda.. Simplest way would be to upload somewhere else and simply post the link.

Ok. Thanks. I appreciate your help.

Bittorrent mirror for android related files

I set up a page for android related files on my server. I am currently mirroring all the JF 1.41 images and build environments, and the Debian installer. I am using bit torrent so I don't go over my quota on my server, and since it is a great way to distribute large files.
I put this up since a lot of people were complaining about RapidShare and MegaUpload, which is the only place (that I am aware of) to get the debian installer and some of the theme files people are posting.
I will try to get most of the themes that I see in this forum up there later this week. Its also very basic right now, i'll add a way to add and remove files yourself later. For now you have to email me using the online form.
Here's the page: http://hexial.net/android/torrents/
Give me some feedback... Would you all use this?
yes, if its fast and virus/malware free.
now we need a torrent client for android..downloading updates on the go..rename it and install...life couldnt be easier!
thanks man!

Yup! My goal is to make this a faster alternative than MegaUpload or similar sites. I have 4 or 5 seeds for each file, and 2 of those connections are 20mbit upload speed :-D
And of course I am going to try and keep all the files virus/malware free. I double checked that all the md5 sums matched the originals posted by JesusFreke, so they are all virus free on my end.

Actually, at first I really liked the idea of OTA updates via bittorrent... then I thought, hmm people are going to apply the update, restart the phone, and then we are going to have tons of seeds out there seeding over GPRS? Nah, I think ill pass =P
(It probably wouldn't be all that bad with 3G, but out here I get GPRS... data speeds are unbearable)
I wouldnt seed from my phone but it would be kinda cool to dl stuff to my fone like vids that are already in the correct format, or music. As far as speed goes, Edge seems pretty quick, i dont have much access to the 3g network, but Edge is better than GPRS, at least for me.
Forget flash we need utorrent for android.

Froyo and google chrome

I remember seeing that with FROYO we could link to Google Chrome and auto transfer files from the PC to our phone wireless over WIFI. Has anyone got this to work?
Here is a link from Ekostons He has it all in one place with directions. http://droidgawk.com/2010/05/22/froy...e2phone-links/

good job, makes it easer
I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

you must login to that for this to recognize to send.
and the point is to send things from your comp to your phone.
such as, MAPS, LINKS, VIDEOS
watching youtube video and ur leaving? send to your phone.
want to bookmark a site on your phone ur viewing on ur pc? send to your phone
and one of my fav's
want to download a cd torrent on your phone? download a torrent app on your phone, send the link from pc to phone and download !
works great with maps

In simple terms u can search and download anything hosted on Mediafire.

If u like it please rate and share it with your friends.
Any problems? suggestions, u can post it here or contact me via pm or through market.
EDIT: Sorry guys mediafire practically has no files left to search, So no point in re-uploading another version.
Edit: Mediafire has deleted most of the files, so this app is no more.
Well I thought it was great.....
Regards
Well thx.. Its easier for me to search now. And its almost the same as 4shared
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
This actually makes things easier. Thanks for that one
Worked fine for me, did just what it's supposed to. 5/5
I'll give it a shot. I choose mediafire over most file sharing site anyway.

Works great dude! Just downloaded it and I think I'll be using it a lot here in the next week.....THANKS again!!
Thanks guys that's all i needed to hear although i have a question
Should i add 4shared results to the search too or just leave the app the way it is.
Its good as it is but if you did add 4shared results try to limit it to 1 or the other. I wouldn't want to get 4shared results in my mediafire search
I can't download properly from mediafire from the start, with my phone. Always download a few kb and "download complete". Anyone had this problem?
Anyway the app works snappy, saves time in the searching. Good app.

I think you are right I'll probably do another app for 4shared, the one they have right now is pretty much their site in browser but again mine is not too different either.

well the only thing i can say from your comment is maybe your browser is not handling the request properly, u didn't say which phone u have either so I cant really make out anything off it but its guaranteed that if u try another rom or if u reinstall your existing Rom the problem sud go away. If u don't want to do that u sud probably post Ur logcat here. maybe something in there will give me or u a clue about whats going on or what's the problem.
And don't forget to rate the app
This app will ocme in handy. Thankls!
@consegregate Hey i just experienced this problem where i wasn't able to download a big file, turns out it was a just due to lack of memory, it was a common mistake a lot of other people were making too, So u should check that just in case.
@Rigy73 -- could you update the link in your OP, it no longer goes to your app. This one should work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arv.mediafyre

hey great app.. thanks for that.. but i found a big problem.. it doesnt show file size before starting download in search results.. then when the download starts.. it doesnt give option to cancel it.. also it would be nice to be able to resume download.. as mediafire allows it..

Best Free File Sharing Website?

I know this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a site to share my .EXE file (or .ZIP) with others? I don't mind creating an account to upload my file(s), what I DON'T want is for others to have to do anything to download it. I don't want them to have to sign up, or be added to my friends list, because I have no idea who will be downloading the file.
Thank you!
Dropbox?

Probably one of the quickest websites for uploading and a VERY accessible site for those downloading what you are uploading is dev-host.org!!
AGAIN...MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!
Dropbox, Sugarsynch, and most painless of all is Google Docs. Upload, set to share and give friends share url. (1GB file size limit).

It is possible to upload every filetype or is google checking for docs?
+1 dropbox
I like mediafire, cause there's no waiting for people who are downloading the file.
Depending on how many people download your file from your public dropbox folder, they will block it if you get over a certain quota of traffic.

[Q] Upload picture to friends wall on Facebook

Hi.
I got a simple question for you all here.
I don't seem to find a method to upload a picture to my friends walls. There is only an option to upload images to my own wall. But how do I send it to someone others wall?
Thanks in advance,
Pemell
Post fb picture on wall
I also miss this feature. I've been searching for it a long time now and it seems it is currently not possible.
I tried going to the official facebook page and even over there it's not possible. (It is, but you cannot browse for the file)
I am now going to try it by going to the mobile site of facebook and the touch.facebook.com site. I'll let you know it it's possible over there but I wouldn't count on it.
I tried it to. The only way I found possible was to send the photo to my macbook and upload it there.
It wasn't possible through the phone at all. Bugger.
Though please keep me posted if I'm missing something.
It looks like it's not even possible to do this using the official Facebook app. Lame.
As for using the browser, it's actually a limitation of the permissions system. The m.* and touch.* sites aren't going to add any more permissions! Mobile IE actually runs in the same kind of sandbox as normal apps, meaning essentially no access to the filesystem. However, it *could* use a PhotoChooserTask (or similar) if Microsoft had bothered to implement that.
