As in topic - I need to move photos and videos from my old Lumina 800 to Android/Windows 10 phone or PC. Is there any way to do it? I can't use Bluetooth because you need to download special app form marketplace called 'Bluetooth sharing' and as we know marketplace is down for many years so I can't download it. I also can't use Zune because it requires Windows Media Format SDK which can be installed only on XP (I'm using win 10 on both PC already).

OK, so I'm currently working on getting this to work on my captivate. Not sure if it will or not, but I am hopeful. I will edit this post with a walk thru if I get it to work. But for now, I will start with two links I found that leads me to think this may be possible.

BTW, if this has been done before and I am just trying to reinvent the wheel, please point me in the right direction. I couldn't find much about this when searching
OK, so not much of a walkthru other than to say it does work.
First you have to put your phone into media player mode which is done in settings\application\usb Settings
Note: the phone does not seem to like to connect to the PC unless you are at the touchWiz homescreen. I had to clear default settings on Launcher Pro to get back to touchWiz for it to get into its media player mode.
Once you do that it should install drivers and show up as a syncable item in Windows Media Player.
After that, if you have a zune pass and have downloaded music with it in the zune software, it will show up in windows media players library.
I was most interested in syncing the zune channels that update once a week, so I moved those playlists to the phone, pressed sync and it worked.
Now if only I could get the zune playlists to show up in something like media monkey where syncing is a bit easier than with windows media player (my opinion of course).
Basically all it shows is that our captivate(and I'd assume all galaxy s varieties) will play DRM'd WMA files that fall in the realm of the windows plays for sure category. Good to know if you use subscription music through zune or have other uses for that.
This doesn't work with i9010. It says more sync rights are needed.
Unfortunate as I was hopeful after it worked with my N8.
Any thoughts for getting this to work on Armani S?

Any way of getting this to work with CM7.
I guess you need to be able to mount using MTP as opposed to USB storage.
Is that doable?

The links in OP point to the support of PlayForSure type of DRM which maybe supported if you use Windows Media Player to sync in MTP media player mode. However, Zune pass uses Zune DRM, not PlayForSure DRM. Zune DRM will only work on Microsoft Zune players and WP7 phones. Not to be confused with purchased songs in Zune. Purchased songs no longer have DRM in them.
Now CM7 is another story. I not sure if it even supports PlayForSure DRM at all.
Well I have the Nokia N8 and that can play Zune pass content when transferred via MTP.
So I guess the question is can we enable stock Android to mount as an MTP device?

Any app available that can mount AOSP builds as MTP?

hi, in windows mobile I had a very small app that integrated native network access to the os, that way I could simply navigate into my shared folders on my computer using any app, without any app needing samba support cause my computer's shared folders were seen by those programs as a normal folder in windows mobile, kinda like a diferent partition alongside the sdcard, and so it allowed me to use any video player for example and just browse to my network folder like we do from one computer to another and like that watch the videos I have stored in my computer in my mobile.
I was wondering if there is any app that adds that network integration to the android os so that any program can easily access shared folders on a computer?

My HD7 can't recognise other phone bluetooth when i try to transfer some vid to my Hd7.Looks like WM7 is the same as Iphone.
Wp7 doesn't support Bluetooth file transfer

why on earth htc/wm wants to follow iphone
how bout other model is it the same?
It's WP7, not wm7. Windows Mobile allowed for bluetooth file transfer. Windows Phone does not. It's just not part of the Windows Phone design plan to allow bluetooth file transfer. If that is a deal breaker for you, get another phone with a different OS.
Of course, there are other ways to transfer files besides bluetooth.
For video, though, you can only get video off the phone by connecting to Zune.
With the Mango update coming this fall, you will be able to send video via MMS.
This is just the way the OS works.
Searched and couldnt find anything on this.
I am trying to import a bunch of photos and videos that I took with the GNex (4.0.2) to my computer (Win7 64bit). I have tried using MTP and also connecting my phone and using a media file importer (Windows Live Photo Viewer) and nothing seems to work. It is constantly freezing.
Anyone know any tricks to get this on my computer without using ADB?
Thanks...
Use a cloud service as an intermediate step. Upload the files from phone to Dropbox, for example, and download them from there to your PC.
I recently switched to an Optimus 2x and installed Paranoid Android CM9 with the supplied stock kernel. No great problems except MTP does not work on either of my Win7 laptops which have Professional N version installed. This is the version without Windows Media Player.
I tried the phone on two PC's with Media Player installed and MTP worked perfectly. Also tried on Linux Mint 13 which didn't even see the phone! A first for any Linux dist in my experience. I did try installing the Microsoft hotfix which more or less installs Media Player on N versions but ran into installer problems on both laptops. Media Player is hard coded into Windows supposedly which means installing the full version of Media Player on the N version is impossible.
I then installed Harsh kernel which allows me to use the more normal (in my opinion) mass storage mode and can at last connect to and drag and drop files to my phone.
So my question:
What is the point of MTP if it requires Windows Media Player?
Am I the only one coming up against this problem?
Why does MTP not work with Linux Mint?
Has anybody a solution for those of us who don't have Media Player installed by default?
I'm here because I keep on getting this page in the top of my results... it deserves an answer.

What is the point of MTP if it requires Windows Media Player? My best guess is it's part of Windows Media Player because (1) Microsoft designed it, or heavily influenced it, and (2) they didn't see a purpose for having it on their computers unless people were going to use it to transfer music via Windows Media Player.

Why does MTP not work with Linux Mint? It looks like doing this is possible, but not by default. See here for more details:

Has anybody a solution for those of us who don't have Media Player installed by default? Get Windows Media Player. For me this involved getting a giant download from Microsoft, and then restoring Windows to a previous point, before the download would even install. Your mileage may vary.
