.apk?
Hey guys, any chance you can upload the latest version of the .apk here? I'm experiencing the "Starting Download" issue so I'm stuck to download and installing .apk's for the mean time.
P.S. If anyone knows how to fix the "Starting Download" issue without me having to reset my phone (Galaxy S) - PLEASE HELP. T_T

what worked for me was to delete the directory:
data/data/com.android.vending
acts just like a new market installation.

Installed this and for beeing an early app it's working fine.
But it would be nice if it could start preloading the next item in the list so I don't have to when a few seconds for the next item to load when hitting the left and right arrow.
Keep the updates comming, I've been wanting an app like this for a long time.

Like it a lot. Works pretty quickly on my Galaxy S. Much better than looking at the site through the browser. Just a couple suggestions, but a "view comments" option might be nice, as well as a setting to select which sites to pull from as this looks like it gets more than just failblog, but some of the other cheezeburger sites as well.

Can somebody put that program's ".apk" file here , please ? I can't using "Android Market" because of geographic problems. Thank you. =)

Tried it. very slow on a good 3G connection, some of the things I did see are not very new.
Uninstalled

I tried to look for the directory but couldn't find it. Is there something else I should do for this to appear? I'm using Astro to browse, I don't think the folder is hidden though.

can't find it in the market not via barcode nor via search
btw: do you have permission to use the failblog content?

cant find it in the market

barcode not working, can't find in market either... ???

I want to publish my stupid app, but I cant!

I made the world's lamest app because my wife won't let me squish spiders... She wants me to take it outside. I called it Spider Squisher.
I signed up for a Google developer account about 1 month ago and now I am trying to upload my app. When go to https://market.android.com/publish and try to publish an app. I
1. select the app by clicking browse
2. click upload
3. receive the following dialog box pop-up

5. I click back again after clicking OK on the dialog and I get to my developer console.

What's going on? I'm flipping out here... I just want to publish this stupid apk file myself.
I have my receipt to the android market. It's linked to my google account. It's been over a month and I'm still receiving this message

No, it is not a virus. I am frustrated with the google publishing process. It won't let me upload!

The market is pretty buggy at times, last weekend i tried for 3 days to update an app without success.
I had the exact same error you had, after sometime i just said f*** this and went to sleep. Sometime next day it worked.
Don't give up hope!

K... I've been trying for 2 days now.

Somewhere i also read that he had the same message, which was very misleading because he got it as he was not yet fully unlocked to use the market.
Seems you are not either? Maybe this could be it too.
They wire you some cents money, which you have to type into a field to complete registration, did you do that?

That is for a sales account. I did not set that portion up. I am not accepting money for this. However, I i tried, and It's doing the same thing as clicking on my account which I mentioned earlier. The market appears to be fully broken and inoperative here. I just don't understand. Who can we call about this?

No one.
You can probably fill out a form somewhere, thats the google way im afraid.
They don't support phonesupport.

I can't find the form... that's why im here on the forums. I could not find a form or email address.

Can anyone help me? Where do I contact google market?

Here is the form http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=publishing
Litterally, within 1 minute of hitting submit, I received an email apologizing for the delay.
Now when I log into the developer console I see
Your Registration to the Android Market is approved!
You can now upload and publish software to the Android Market.

Interesting, must be their cunning plan to cut down on the amount of junk apps that just aim to get ad clicks.

Stock GB Browser bug?

Hi All,
I've done some cursory searches, and maybe I'm not using the right keywords, but I was wondering if others are experiencing this and if there's a setting somewhere I'm not seeing to maybe shut off this weird bug.
Here's the most recent example that illustrates this issue. I was browsing around on the xda-forums and there was an attached APK I wanted to download. So, on the computer I clicked on the QR Code and just had my stock (rooted, GB v2.3.6) phone detect the direct download to the apk from the link using barcode scanner. It correctly identifies the link and I click on open in browser. The stock browser loads automatically and begins to download the apk. Great. I hit the home button, pull down the notification, click on the downloaded file, it asks me to install the apk, I agree, it installs, I open it. Wonderful.
I then open my email and there's a link to a site. I click on it and then the browser proceeds to load the last loaded page, in this case a downloadable file. So it proceeds to download the file AGAIN and appending -N.apk (where N is the next available number) to the filename. Unless I restart the phone, it will continue to download the file again and again, increasing the value of N every time I attempt to load the browser again. Whether by clicking on a link, or just opening the browser directly from the app's icon. Any thoughts on this?! Am I just doing something wrong? I guess this is a feature you want to load the last page you had open the last time the browser was used, which is fine for web-pages, but I don't want it to keep downloading the same file over and over again every time I load the browser!
Any thoughts or suggestions, or even a link to where this is discussed and hopefully resolved would be of GREATEST appreciation!
Thanks!

Hit menu>new window
That will prompt your gmail attachment to open in that new window.
I use an app called Download Them All and never get that problem. It will download attachments, files from the net, etc. Good little app.

I'm not sure that resolves the issue. Since the initial attempt to open a browser window was in fact to load up a downloadable file (the original APK). Every time I open the browser app, it attempts to reload the last loaded page (or in this case, the file) and so it redownloads the file. In order for me to click on Menu>New Window, I would still have to load the browser app and it's at that stage it redownloads the file.

When the download has started.. manage windows. Close the window.

Did you try the Download Them All app?
It eliminates the browser from opening at all.
Also, check the settings for the browser and see if there is an option to disable cookies being saved. Clear your cache, etc. That should stop the issue for this particular item at least.

Thanks, I installed it but haven't really tested it yet. Not sure how this is supposed to fix the issue though since the app doesn't load BEFORE the file is downloaded, it's on the list of apps to select once you click on an already downloaded file and it asks you where you want to save it - which is a nice feature, but doesn't prevent the file from downloading in the first place.....
Thoughts?

[TOOL][2.3+] Share files over wifi

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!​

Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?

Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:

I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?

Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app

Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*

The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!

Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)

Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would

If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...

[APP][2.3+] FastFileTransfer 2.0 - Fast, Offline File Exchange Between Any Platforms

FastFileTransfer has a simple mission: Offering fast, offline file exchange between literally any platforms.
The app works via Wifi, allowing for speeds of more than 40 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in under 4 minutes.
FastFileTransfer does not require the second device to install anything, allowing for transfers from or to any other platform.
I'm proud to announce the release of Version 2.0!
The original version of FastFileTransfer was released back in 2012. It reached nearly 900.000 downloads, but even cooler: It was featured on the XDA Start Page back in 2013, which I'm still very thankful for!
FastFileTransfer 2.0 is a complete rewrite that took me 11 months of spare time development. I've written a whole new transfer engine (now even faster!), new User Interface and created a new Icon. There are tons of new features, and here is a list of all of them:
Features:
Lightning fast: Transfer 1 GB in under 4 minutes
Send multiple files or even whole folders (as ZIP)
Easy to follow step-by-step instructions
Receive from any device and operating system that supports WiFi
No need for an existing WiFi connection
Works completely offline
The receiver does not have to have the app installed
Send multiple files as ZIP
Display QR codes for faster receiving
Optionally use NFC for pairing
Unique engine specifically developed for compatibility against a wide range of Android devices
Send to an unlimited number of devices at the same time
New in Version 2.0:
New transfer engine
New UI
New Icon
Now supports sending via Wifi Direct or an existing Wifi Connection
Send multiple files as ZIP
Continues sending from background
New super secure mode
Send files from different folders
Send whole folders
More progress details
Now translated to German, Spanish (thanks @josuearisty!!), French, Turkish, Italian
Support for Android 5.0 Lollipop
Pro Version with additional features
Buy the Pro Version ($1.99) to:
Receive files from devices that don't have FFT installed
Let receivers download multiple files with one click (unzipped)
Get rid of the ads

(There is a thread for the old version, but as the new version is a complete rewrite, I decided to start a new one. If any moderator reads this post, please close the old thread.)

Excellent! Gonna test it now!

Cool, thanks! Let me know how you like it!

So here are my finding with FFT v2.0
01) Very good UI. Great speed and ease of use once you get the hang of it. Kudos to the hard work put up by the developer. Well worth the wait of all these months. :good:
Bugs/Quirks:
02) Instructions tab: The tab heading "Instructions" is not fully visible. I can only see till "Instructio". The rest gets clipped for some reason.
03) Instructions tab: The "Sending" section shows me the same instructions on selecting any of the 3 points. Confusing!
04) Instructions tab: The "Sending/Receiving" section does not give me any instructions on selecting any of them. Is it supposed to?
05) Sending tab: The best thing is that I can select multiple files and folders from ANYWHERE in the memory. The select files dialogue can use some spit polish. When removing a file, the "minus" sign gets lost within the file name.
06) Sending tab: I open the select files dialogue box. Press the back button. Now I can no longer get the select files dialogue box.
07) Sending tab: Is it necessary to show open file dialogue when a file is selected? I am not sure of this. Developer knows better.
08) Sending tab: After selecting all the files, I came to step 1. I didn't realize for a few minutes that I can scroll down and see step 2. Let there be some visual indicator so that the user knows it can scroll down/up.
09) Sending tab: I wanted to cancel the sharing of files. There is no stop or cancel button. (I can provide some UI mockup to integrate #05 and #09)
10) Sending tab: Please display speed in MB instead of Mb. Or gives us an option for the same.
11) Other: FFT can generate QR codes for links. Can you also integrate a QR code reader somewhere within the app (probably the "Receive" tab)? Other devices with FFT can then receive files more easily using the built-in reader.
12) Other: Instructions, Sending tabs: Ads at the bottom. Files tab: Ads at the top. Design inconsistency
The update is HUGE and hence there will surely be some bugs here and there. Though the dev is not under any obligation to fix them, these are just points that would make FFT better than before. I am still testing the app and will let you know if I face any more issues.
Once again, congratulations on the marvelous update. :highfive:

04) Instructions tab: The "Sending/Receiving" section does not give me any instructions on selecting any of them. Is it supposed to?

Yes, that's supposed to be like that. However, I'll add a dialog for these instructions as well.
smit.sanghavi said:
05) Sending tab: The best thing is that I can select multiple files and folders from ANYWHERE in the memory. The select files dialogue can use some spit polish. When removing a file, the "minus" sign gets lost within the file name.

Okay, that's right. Will have a look at that.

Could you give me more details on where you are referring to? Which open file dialogue do you mean?
smit.sanghavi said:
08) Sending tab: After selecting all the files, I came to step 1. I didn't realize for a few minutes that I can scroll down and see step 2. Let there be some visual indicator so that the user knows it can scroll down/up.

Yes, I heard that from a few people already. I thought it was enough to mention it in the tutorial, but I'll add an indicator or some additional text.
smit.sanghavi said:
09) Sending tab: I wanted to cancel the sharing of files. There is no stop or cancel button. (I can provide some UI mockup to integrate #05 and #09)

For stopping the transfer, you just have to close the app. If you have an idea for a mockup, I'd gladly take the inspiration
smit.sanghavi said:
10) Sending tab: Please display speed in MB instead of Mb. Or gives us an option for the same.

I'll investigate that.
smit.sanghavi said:
11) Other: FFT can generate QR codes for links. Can you also integrate a QR code reader somewhere within the app (probably the "Receive" tab)? Other devices with FFT can then receive files more easily using the built-in reader.

I'm planning to add something in a future update, but the next one will mainly be a bug fix update, so that feature will have to wait a little longer
smit.sanghavi said:
12) Other: Instructions, Sending tabs: Ads at the bottom. Files tab: Ads at the top. Design inconsistency

I'll change that as well.
Thanks for the feedback and the extensive testing! Let me know if you find anything else

Thanks!
Okay, that's strange. What device and OS are you using? Would the text theoretically fit the screen?

I just released the new version 2.0.1 with these new features:
UI now also works on devices with tiny screens
There now is a hint to indicate you can scroll between the different instruction screens
Various smaller UI improvements and bug fixes
Let me know how you like it! :fingers-crossed:

This app transfers insanely fast off nexus 5, bought the inapp to show support..

Can you please provide some information and perhaps some screens/video for the 'Receive files from devices that don't have FFT installed'.
I'm really curious about this feature, as it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Sure: It's like the opposite of the sending mode that is available in the free version:
You start a receiving session inside FFT
The other device without FFT installed connects to the wifi and navigates to the website as instructed within FFT
Now, instead of getting a list of receivable files, the other device is offered with a form that allows to choose local files (files that are on the other device)
The other device has then to click a Send button, which starts the transfer
FFT displays the same progress information as when sending
All received files are available in the Files tab within the app
You're just 1.99$ away from trying it yourself :laugh:

Damn, I just purchased an app that does a very similar thing - although that app's UI is not exactly the best size to be used on a phone :/
1. Is your webform designed to be used/viewed on phones as well as tablets/PCs?
2. Does your app support sending multiple files and/or entire folders (including maintaining the directory structure) from a phone without FFT installed (via the webform/UI) to the FFT recipient?
Cheers for the quick reply.

Excellent app! Bought pro few days ago.
Makes file transfer so easy!! Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Multiple files are not supported by most Android browsers, but are supported by the app. It works on any desktop browser or even iOS devices. There might be a capable browser though. Let me know if you know one! Whole folder structures are supported when the folder is zipped before uploading.

Anyone with a Nexus 6 getting FC at times? After entering device name and password, the app FC. Then after initiating a send it will FC. Happens like clock work, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Sent a bug report.
No issues on my One and N7 so far though.

Thanks for the report! The crash you've reported will be fixed in the next update. I will look into the one after entering device name and password. Could you possibly submit a report for that one as well? I'd really appreciate it!

I had a thought about a way to send an entire directory (and subs), taking into account the android file browser limitation:
Suggestion: A special 'Send Directory' button specifically for phones. (perhaps this button would detect when a phone/tablet was being used versus a normal PC.)
This button would request a single file to be nominated (just like in single file mode) except that it would truncate the target file's 'URL/ sdcard-path' and send all files (including the directory that the file was located in and all subs of that directory).
Is that possible?
Also, do you plan on releasing a dark theme?
Thanks again
