I'm using Droidcam right now, and my infuse gets really hot, and battery drains even though its plugged in through USB. Any suggestions for alternatives?
Have you thought about trying skype?

Just wanted to share. I decided to pay for the WebSharing pro since I've gotten tired of all this usb mounting error garbage. Its AMAZING. Works fast and simple over wifi or 3G. I may never use a usb cable again. TWO THUMBS UP!

Add adb wireless to the mix, and you really don't need the cable. Now if only they had some sort of wireless charging...
Dropbox seems to work well for, in regards to sharing documents between my phone and pc.

I was really wanting this until about a week ago when I realized. Hey I enjoy using my phone while it charges and not just have it sitting on a mat mostly unusable.

May I suggest an ftp server, like swiftp (free).
Websharing compare to an ftp server is like comparing the flintstone to the jetson.

+3 i use dropbox for all my mod downloads.... db plus bit.ly address shrinker... awesome. keeps track of how many downloads, were they are downloaded from, and even what country they are being downloaded from. pretty cool!
Guess I didn't describe it enough. Its not really just a drag and drop like Dropbox. Its a wireless file explorer. Think: AndExplorer on your comp only with a windows look

Thanks to all of you who whelped me. I am using Temaviewer now.Tryed Showmypc but for some reason it's not working.Dunno why...
Try phonemypc its so easy to setup all you gotta do is installed the program on phone and computer and that's it!

PhoneMyPC works flawlessly any time i use it. I got overly frustrated with all the other programs out there. Sometimes i get lazy and I use it as a mouse when i'm lying in bed.
The pc software has been running in win7 for months and it never seems to conflict with any other programs.
get it
I have used Unified Remote with good success on several android devices with my multimedia pc that's hooked to the TV in the living room. My wife likes me using my tablet or phone better than the wireless keyboard.

Is there an app that will allow you to place your phone somewhere and use your TF as a monitor in real time (seeing what the phone's camera sees?
There are plenty of ip webcam apps in the market.

Thank you both very much....I'll check them all out....
Who are you creeping on?
Lol...no creeping...just messing around with my new TF....
I've done this using ipwebcam (from market) running on my nexus one and tiny cam monitor (from market) running on my tf. Works great and quality is pretty decent. I used it to spy on my dog.

That IP Webcam app is decent. Been trying to use it to remotely monitor some newborn puppies. I prefer to just put a password up and use the TF's web browser to view in javascript.
I'd like a way to prolong my phones battery though. The phone gets too hot when plugged in via charger. I tried selecting the option to allow it to switch off the screen, as that gobbles a lot of power. Unfortunately this stops it broadcasting. I have my phone so it keeps the wifi on when the screen is off, but cant find out whether its switching off the camera, the cpu, or what its doing when the screen goes off.
Anyone know of an app to keep things alive when the screen is off please?

Well,
Ipwebcam and tiny cam monitor didn't work because I'm at work and I think that there is a problem with the ips or ports or something...it hung on "camera loading."

LOL! What did you find out?
I have a linksys web cam that allows me to view on a dyndns site. It's all black in the cam box. It does require activex installation so I don't know if that is the issue with TF browser and if it's possible at all to have add-on.
Wirelessly. What is the fastest way folks have figured out how to do this short of removing the memory card and putting it into your PC?
Tried dropbox....SLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOW
Trying Google Docs Uploading now... SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
Tried Sugarsync... SLOOOOOW
Tried emailing ....... Attachments too large....
Seems like Android still hasn't figured out a fast efficient way to get photo's from the phone to your desktop...
sucks.
Plug your phone into your computer and select mass storage on your phone. Then access your phone on your computer and your photos from your camera should be in the DCIM folder.
Try to Google your question and you will find many pages that will help with your problem.

I also use Google + to upload all of my photos to Picasa automatically as they are taken.

thanks anyway.
I also said FASTEST....
Also Google+ limits you to 8 pics...
Also..tried Picassa too... SLOOOOOOOOW
The problem here is that despite having 4G on this thing...photo transfer wirelessly is still obscenely slow.
Selected 10 pics from my gallery to upload to Google Docs at 10:45am......over an hour later and it's just now finishing the 5th photo...

You did not say wirelessly originally . You should GTFO if you can't be friendly to people who try and help you with questions that you should be searching for on your own anyway.

Had you left the "you should try Google first" out of your reply, I would have considered it a fairly friendly/helpful response.
That extra line that you added was unnecessarily snarky. And if you'd bothered to check my history here, you'd have realized i'm no simpleton to how things operate on XDA.

This part of your post indicated to me that you were under the impression that there was no way to transfer photos in a fast way in the Android OS. I was pointing out that there is a fast way to do this and that search would help. You also mentioned pulling your SD card out; you should almost never need to do this...

Carrying around a wire to tether to your PC is in no way efficient. Arguably fast...but definitely not efficient. My statement stands.

No worries. Same here.
I just get testy with a lot of the "search first" or "google it" replies when a question is asked is all.
Ultimately a healthy message board does require a good dose of civility, and I gotta remember that it's best to respond in a civil manner even if I perceive something to not be civil. My bad.
At any rate, check this out.

Thanks. Looks like this might be what I need.
I've downloaded now I have to figure out how to use it. I don't know much....actually i don't know anything about FTP servers etc....looks like I have some reading to do.
Would you happen to know how to use this app? I've tried entering the server address into my browser (Chrome) but it's not working, won't connect. I'm on my work computer and created the FTP serve over 3G.

Ok..that app didn't work so well, never could connect on Chrome...but THANKS to you for pointing down that path because I found THIS app that actually worked VERY well! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorer&feature=search_result
Much easier than tethering via a cable or pulling out the SD card, and much faster than uploading to Google+, picassa, etc...
has anybody tried this with the s3? I heard it only works with 4.2 i.e. nexus 4

Personally I run a:

to connect to my home theater. Not sure how well the wireless video/audio would turn out.
In my experience streaming anything over the air turns out poorly.
I guess the wireless nature of it all could be convenient though

I have the mhl adapter also, but it gets annoying having to constantly hook it up every time I wanted to watch a movie. At the same time, I don't wanna sacrifice sound quality just to be wireless. I'm torn!!!!!
