Hi! Does anyone know if there's a specific file/location where the history log for the Now playing service is posted? I know you can see your history through the settings menu or through a shortcut on the home screen but I was hoping I could access the file with all the data collected by the service. Apologies in advance if this question seems stupid or poorly formulated I'm pretty new to this.

I recently found the photobucket mobile http://m.photobucket.com and thought it would be nice to have a shortcut or an app that makes it quick to send a photo to my account.
So far I created a shortcut on start menu that leads to ":MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -to "myaccountaddress" -subject "New Pictures"". I would like to find the right parameters to lead to "Menu,Insert,Picture". So it takes me straight to choosing my photos. Is this possible with a command line? Or do I need something like mortscript to get to that point?
EDIT:I tried these commmands so far plus some others(just added to end of above): -insert; -attach; -picture
Any help would be appreciated. I did search (which is how I got to this point), but couln't find what I needed. THANKS in advance. I will share what I come up, as I would like to also link to a photobucket icon to make it look like an app.
I see that there is an uploading app for Verizon and some other carriers. This is not what I'm interested in. I dont use data, and dont want to pay an extra 2.99 a month for the uploading service. I would like to either select my shortcut and select photos, or somehow add send to...photobucket to the default Pictures & Videos app(pimg.exe).

This will probably be better answered in the Q&A section (and it should probably be there as it's a question), so that's where it's going!

Thats a no then
Anyway did you ever get anywhere with this?
I am new to the Android Market. I just got the Transformer but I have had an IPhone for years so maybe that is why I am confused.
Lets says if I do a Search for Facebook apps...tons of apps that don't even have facebook in the name or description come up. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
Another question, then when I do one of the side options how come it only lets me see a few? I am sure there is way more then what it is showing me.
Thanks in advance.

No, you aren't doing it wrong. Dev's can "tag" their apps with search keywords. So, anything that interfaces with Facebook in some manner could have a facebook keyword - it would be up to the user to determine if the app fits the need. An app could be one like "Flow" which a user could interface directly with facebook with - or, it could be a plugin for another app/widget that allows the user to view posts or pictures from facebook.

Not sure what you mean by "side options" - which screen? the general screen, a particular application's preview/order screen?

Oh thanks makes sense now. I meant like if you click app store Entertainment you cant seem to browse all of them. Also is there a way to get rid of the scrolling apps on top?
I did do a search on this and found other similar questions but no real answers, so if you have seen this answered before feel free to "linky dinky" thanks!!
so when I go to "share via" a pic I get options, too many.... really I only need FB, email. and MMS, is there a way to trim this down? right now I get 2 FB, twitter, BT many more etc., I just don't need them all.... this should be my fist post here, hope I came across ok!!!

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.
Ok. So my grandfather is a tech freak and he asked me to find him a good touchscreen phone, so I thought that WP7 would be a good choice for someone of his age because the size of the tiles...
He uses his phone only to make phone calls and to add/edit contacts. Maybe read (not write) a message once a week...
That's why I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an app/tweak that would allow me to add a tile that would work as a direct CALL shortcut to a person it is linked to? The way Android and jailbroken iOS do...
Thanks in advance...
You can pin contacts to your homescreen.

You don't need to jailbreak the phone to do this.
Go to your contact list. Tap on the person you want to have on the home screen and you will find three buttons at the bottom. Click on the 'pin' button and you will have that person on your home screen! Simples.
EDIT; I meant you don't need to jailbreak 'a windows phone' to do this
And this might be better off in Question & Answers section.
To add to this also, you can make a group and pin it also to the screen, like "Family". When you click on the group it will only show those that you placed in it which you can click on to call, text ec.

Thanks for the replies. I saw earlier on a youtube video what you were referring to about pinning a person...
But I didn't get a reply on one thing... Can that tile be used as a direct call shortcut? Without it opening the contact info and than selecting a number to call.
Nope, just a shortcut to the contact card

By default it cannot. But an app could be written to do this. It will still require a confirm to call, similar to using the SmartDialer app.
There are plenty of apps that will take you to favorites to directly dial a specific number of a contact. Unfortunately, none of the ones I found allow you to pin that particular favorite to the main screen. Maybe I should write an app to do this.
How about "Lightning dial" app? It will save you a lot of homescreen tiles.

That looks interesting. It's close enough but not exactly...
So, I'm in a situation where my SO is acting fishy. I can see in their Google Activity an entry for the Clock app that says something along the lines of added timers, alarms and stop watch data. This is at least an every day entry, most times around the same time frame, but with other entries here and there. I'm thinking this is showing from an intent from another app and would love to find out why this is showing and what it actually is. I appreciate any ideas or guidance from all who can help me get to the bottom of this.
