It was mentioned in Mango announcement that it will support 'File Transfer'. Does it mean mango will provide 'Bluetooth' file transfer?? We need this basic feature in WP7!!!
I believe the "file transfer" refers to the ability for apps to perform downloads and uploads in the background.
Out of curiosity, what types of files do you want to transfer over bluetooth?
Oh.. Ok. Images, Video, mp3 transfer with friend imm is great via blutooth. every time i record a small video or take a few snaps and my friend ask for it immediately i am embarrassed that my WP doesnt support. i have to say i'll mail you or upload to fb.

1.) Download and install
For Windows iTunes Agent.
For Mac iTuneMyWalkman.
2.) Once installed, the application runs in the system tray and monitors iTunes.
3.) Plug the Infuse into your computer's USB port and mount it.
4.) Create a folder on the mounted Infuse called Music.
5.) Right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray.
6.) Click Preferences.
7.) Leave all defaults checked and click the New button.
8.) Give the device a name. (Infuse in this case)
9.) Leave Synchronize pattern: set to iTunes.
10.) Click the Choose button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.
11.) Click the Create button and select the Music folder you created on the Infuse.
12.) Click Save and then Close.
13.) Launch iTunes and you will see a playlist folder called My Devices, under which you will see the Infuse.
14.) Simply drag the music you wish to synchronize from your iTunes library to your Infuse into this playlist
15.) Finally, right-click on the iTunes Agent icon in the system tray and select Synchronize devices
You could do all that, which seems OK. Here's the easier version (none of this sync business):
1. Sort your music by kind. This will find your music that is protected. Convert your library from the protected format by right clicking on your library and converting to mp3 within itunes. I have about 2000 songs and it took about 30 minutes. This is good because it takes any DRM off of the files and allows you to put them wherever you want. Once done, I deleted the Itunes DRM protected versions so I wouldn't have duplicates in my library.
2. Drag and drop onto your phone. I created a music folder on my sd card.
This was the one task I did not want to go through when I swapped from my IOS to Android, but it was quick and painless.
hehe, or you could just download DoubleTwist on your Mac\PC, and DoubleTwist on your Android phone and it'll do it all for you... playlists, organization, etc. Takes about 1 minute to get it started the first time, and it's all wireless and totally automated. Not sure why anyone would go through the OP's laundry list of instructions, haah.

Hey I have Double Twist, but this software is not seeing my memory card which is bigger than internal memory of My SGS II, is there any option which will allow me save my track there?

Use Google music. Done. Install the Google music manager and then it will bring all of your music from your computer and sync it to the Google servers, and then you will be happy. If you want it locally, just plug in and open in mass storage mode. Done.
Thanks >>

why use bull**** apple software. iTunes may be the biggest piece of crap ever to come out of any major software company. apple should be ashamed of how ****ty it is especially with their reputation for stable quick software.
the phone has an mpt transfer mode that works with kies full (available in foreign markets) and I've heard media player works as well. why not use media player? it comes with windows. or forget the slow mtp sync which I find annoying and just copy the files to the phone.
obviously android offers countless options in music, You can sync to the cloud with Google music, copy/paste over usb, mtp transfer with kies or media player, mount the phone as network drive via FTP, webdav, or other technique, play remote content over dlna or upnp or other options. not to mention the market apps. why in the hell are people working to make our device which is superior in this respect to work like the worst feature of the out dated and limited iPod with maybe the worst mtp application on the market.
why not explore the options that set android apart from the iPhone instead of atemting to use the things that limit the iphone. it doesn't make sense to me.

Uninstalling itunes was one of the happiest days of my life.
Use Itunes and GMusic together
IMO ITunes is the best music manager for rating, tagging and searching. I use it to organize my music then point Google Music manager to upload the library.
BAM! Google Music has all my tracks with full info from ITunes. Now if Music had a better auto playlist generator....
iTunes was my primary reason for moving to Android.

FYI, I know on double twist's "airsync" app their is an option in settings to switch to external memory for saving music. It does warn that it is an experimental feature??

Thanks for the software recommendation, this will help save a lot of time.
I have been trying to share uploaded videos from my phone to skydrive. I can get it to upload. it uploads to my mobile uploads folder but when i try to get a link to share only pictures in that folder show up and not videos. Does anyone know if this is possible or if I am doing something wrong? How else can we share videos that are too large to email from our phones.
shared folder
how do you even get files to show up in the shared folder on your phone?
i have a samsung focus with mango 7712
why not youtube them ?
directly from phone?
I believe that you tubing it involves emailing to you tube (I could be wrong) so that might not help
so there is no way to share videos if you can't email them?
Have you got the latest Silverlight installed ?
Are the folder permissions on SkyDrive set correctly ?
When I view the link that the "get a link" process generates sometimes I get a Silverlight error but a browser restart fixes it.
What you have explained is how I share vids direct from from phone (since mango) so it does work

Having the same "problem" though probably just not doing something correcly.
The video appears in the Mobile Uploads directory and I can play it back when logged on via a browser.
However the generated shared link when loaded in a browser just shows the standard picture carousel. The video is not an entry.
So how canI share these videos with my friends?
Is there a way to watch videos loaded in SkyDrive on you device?
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yeah you can. You just have to make a folder and if you're using SkyDrive.com, click on the checkbox of that folder and click on the 'Information' tab in the right column. In 'Folder Type' change it from Documents (the default) to Photos.
Now if you go to that folder in the Pictures Hub or the SkyDrive app, you should see the thumbnail for the video. But of course Windows Phone will only play the video files its supports natively, i.e. MP4 files.
Hope this works for you (it works for me!)
Awesome thanks!

Holy crap this is awesome. I have been looking for a way to control what albums / folders show up in the photo hub. This totally does this, along with the playing .mp4 benefit. Thanks!
Awesome sauce! Couldn't get it to work in the Pictures Hub at first, but somehow it did after I refreshed SkyDrive on my browser. Didn't work even after syncing my email and SkyDrive on my phone, or maybe it just happened to refresh on my phone afterwards too.
Edit// Oh right, I did try uploading a picture as well, maybe it refreshed after that.
Can't get it to work. Do you upload using the SkyDrive website or the app that was released last week. I used the app.

[UPDATE: Never mind. I had to restart the Skydrive program on my PC for some reason to get it to start the sync.]
I'm having trouble, too. I'm not sure what the correct sequence is.
I created a folder on my PC in the SkyDrive folder that was created when I installed the "app". Then I put a video file into it. I thought it would sync and create a parallel folder on the Skydrive site. Nothing happened. So I created a folder with the same name on Skydrive. The file from my PC didn't sync. I looked for a way to manually sync on both my PC and Skydrive but couldn't find any.
I also tried to drag my file to Skydrive but it complained it was more than 300k (IIRC).
Please tell me what the correct sequence is to get a new folder created on Skydrive and to sync files from my PC.
D
Only way I can get movies to play is view skydrive through the browser. Vids don't show in my pictures hub and on the skydrive app, it just gives me the vid details when I tap it.
To watch MP4 videos directly from SkyDrive, need right MP4...
Not all MP4 files are created alike, unfortunately.
My old videos are from a (gasp) Palm Pre.
Converted them to Microsoft Zune HD WMV movie format with "Any Video Converter" (freeware), and volia! I can watch them on my phone again (without taking up the space!!!)
For some reason the conversion to some of the other MP4 type files did not work as well as the WMV format for me. I don't pretend to be a videofile, but works well enough. They're not high quality vids in the first place.
Oh, and if you are having trouble with a "new folder" on your SkyDrive folder in your computer showing up online, try refreshing the SkyDrive page, or log/in out. It should pop up.
Won't let me post it in the WM forums so I'll ask here. I've been using Android for the past 2 years but I'm considering a switch to Windows Mobile (8), mainly out of curiosity. However, before I do so, I want to make sure it's capable of all the stuff I could easily do on my Android device.
So, let's get to it. Is WM8 capable of:
- File managing? Downloading a .rar or .zip archive, extracting it's contents and opening them (be it music, documents, videos, anything)? Also, browsing ALL the files on the phone, not just the known formats or visible ones?
- File transfer between devices? Simply taking a picture or any type of file and sending it via Bluetooth, as well as receiving it?
- Media playback? I'm assuming it can play MP3s, WMVs and AVIs, how about some less usual stuff like MKVs or FLAC files?
- YouTube? Is there a dedicated app or is it just viewing via browser?
Some minor questions include:
- How's file transfer between PC and Phone? Can it be done via explorer like an USB device or do you need to do the SkyDive and Zune player transfers to get stuff on your phone?
- Does it have some minor apps, "Accessories" you could call them, such as Calculator, Calendar, Sound record, etc ?
- Is there anything else you'd tell and Android user transfering to Windows Phone?
Would it be possible to implement synchronisation of the last played position across devices? So when I stop playback on one device and open the same file on another, it asks me to resume where I left off on the first device.
Some reading apps do this (e.g. Moon+ Reader) but I haven't found any media players with that function.

It would be possible if save playback history on a server.
But I am not sure it is really necessary feature.
Anyway I will make a note

The reason why readers can do it is because it stores the "last read" position in your account info, on the reader's server (ie on Moon's server). Media players play files on your device, and not from some central server where you have an account, so media players wouldn't have anywhere to put this info.
I'm not sure if Google Play Services could somehow be used to store this in your Google account (if you decide to opt-in). Personally, I wouldn't want Google knowing even more info about me than they already do.
Hello!
+1 on this one. I'm watching videos on both my phone and my tablet, and it is annoying to manually find the resume point.
One (more) easy way to implement that would be to store the resume point on disk, in a text file for example. If the video folder is synced between the devices by another program (this is my case), the resume point would be automatically synced.
+1!! Any news? you could use the space on Google of course only for those who want it.
I'd love to have that feature as well. A file written to an accessible file path, e.g. one line hash:time per file would even be enough as a poster above suggested. Another tool could then take care of all syncing.
+1 old subject, but I would love to. Perhaps a file sync on GDrive or Dropbox, optionally.
+1 for this even though it's old thread.
