hi i have a stock Asian version of the HTC HD7, its not a dev unlock and already running windows phone 7.5 mango
is there a way to transfer files w/o the use of skydrive or dropbox, its because i have a sucky internet provider, its just ridiculous that i have to upload these files then download them again on my phone... i have a wifi network is there a way to transfer these files wirelessly or thru USB(which i have been looking around that is next to impossible if you don't have a dev-unlock unit)

I just recently changed my ATT tilt with the windows 6.0 version to the 6.1 version. I want to download the HTC Audio Manager so I can manage my ring-tones. However, I downloading the link was provided by rickwyatt and run it to my laptop but could not find the setup to install it on my laptop to transfer it to my phone. I tried also to copy the audio-zip link and paste it to my storage card while my phone was syncing but it didn't work. Can some one tell me how to or get the HTC manager so I can transfer it to my phone and what are the protocols. Thanks,

How on earth did this wind up in the news
Ok, I have HTC Audio Manager, but I don't know anything about managing ringtones. As far as I know Audio Manager is a music player. So I don't understand what you're trying to do with the ringtones.
Hey all.
How about a simple music server for the G1 that uses a windows compatible file sharing system? (smb?)
I am always at a loss for music to listen to on my laptop, but my G1 has about 10 gigs of music on it.. it would be great to have an app that shared this out simply, and allowed my windows box to browse the contents of the phone without having to tether via usb.
By the by, I'm available to any developers out there who need animation / graphics for Android apps / games. Get in touch via my website at cartoonmonkey dot com.

That would completely rape your battery, you'd need to have it plugged in after an hour or two. Why not just use a USB cord?
If there's anyone doing the opposite of this, and wants to listen to music on their G1 that's stored on the PC, check out five: http://code.google.com/p/five/
Unfortunately there's only a Linux server atm.
Use Orb.com works great for me, can view my web cam, open any picture, most videos, and get all the music from it.
Hi
I like my Nexus 7, but the lack of an SD card slot means that it cannot be used to its full potential.
All this talk of the Cloud from Google is wonderful - if they offer the feature in your country. Google music for instance is only available in the US.
I've not rooted since it would appear that this will hamper OTA updates + I simply don't have the time to read endless threads!
Audio Galaxy
For anyone not aware, 'Audio Galaxy' ( https://play.google.com/store/search?q=audio+galaxy ) is your personal music cloud, but it does require that you leave a PC switched on at home/work. You just point the server end 'helper' of this at your music collection, and install the App. Unfortunately, It does not support all formats, WMA Lossless for instance is not supported, neither is anything containing DRM, bit of a PITA. The app itsself is OK, but there's no tablet optimisation.
FTP Server
Copying video's over the cloud is not practical esp in the UK with its poor mobile speeds, lack of 4G, and in the case of a home-cloud, poor broadband upload speeds.
My phone has a 64GB SD card in it. When out and about, I always take the phone. I use FolderSync ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en ) to sync TV shows to the phone over wifi via a scheduled task.
I would use WiFi direct to push films to the N7, but this does not work between a Galaxy Note and the N7. Android Beam requires 2 NFC compatible handsets, and I read somehwere that it uses BT rather than WiFi to transfer stuff meaning its not suitable for videos.
If I choose to watch one of the videos from my phone on my tab, I just copy it over. Download FTP Server ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yYXBmb3guZnRwc3ZyIl0. ) for your phone, and point it at your movies. Enable the phones WiFi hotspot feature, and start the FTP Server.
On the Nexus 7, start an FTP Client - good one in ES File Explorer ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en ). Setup a new connection, and point it at the IP Address shown on the FTP server running on the phone. (Note that unfortunately, this IP address changes since its allocated by your mobile network), Using the FTP client on the N7, copy films from Phone to N7. Turn off FTP Server and WiFi hotspot on phone.
NB: If you root (the phone) you can run an SMB server on it. The phone must do the sharing since there is no WiFi hotspot feature on the N7 (it has no connection to share!)
NB2: You need to have a mobile signal to be able to start the wifi hotspot! - otherwise the phone has no IP address.
Until WiFi direct starts working, I am stuck with the above. An app to turn the phone into a WiFi harddisk (where phone acts as a wifi access point rather than connecting to existing router) would be nice.

Check Plex in the market, great for video, music, and any other media stored on your home PC. PC left on at home works as at home server.

Used in the past
Hi
I've used plex in the past and removed it because its clunky - especially the server end where you config everything. Anyway, I just had another go. Its still clunky! For instance it just created 3 sections for 'Home Movies', and 3 for 'TV Shows' I only have one folder on the server for each. It also does not allow you to remove the unwanted sections from the library. As a result on the N7, I end up with everything listed 3 times over. I eventually found the option to remove these, and have re-created.
In addition to that, despite that fact that every album I own has album art, it has not picked it all up. I don't think it reads folder.jpg files from the album dirs (standard mechanism on windows media player/center), relying instead on the jpg being present within the meta data for the track.
- It does not transcode music from WMA Lossless to a format playable on device. It will index everything, but none of it is playable from the Android client
- It does not support TV shows recorded with windows media centre
- It keeps reporting 'Server Error when trying to fetch data'
So... still pretty clunky all told!
Worth another try though, and it is better than the last time I tried it.

How to transfer files between your camera and your galaxy phone?
I tried to transfer files between 2 devices one is my camera and the other is galaxy note2 but find out the only possible way in lack of wifi is bluetooth which is quiet disappointing. does anyone have a better idea to share files between galaxy devices?
You don't need an existing network to transfer over wifi.
All recent galaxy devices come with wifi-direct which is similar to sending over Bluetooth.
and you can also use tethering to create a network to join, and then use ftp to transfer the files (either device can be used to tether, you can use ftp server ultimate for a sharing, and you can use FX with plus addon to browser the shared folders)
Or simply use DropBox, then you can acces from annywhere
Does anyone know of a solution or workaround for subscribing to podcasts, and adding them to Xbox music on WP8 outside of the USA?
I've recently upgraded to WP8 (Lumia 1520) from WP7 (HTC Titan). A custom ROM and a registry alteration enabled podcast subscriptions directly on the HTC Titan, and even without that I could manually sync with Zune. Now I have 'upgraded' Zune doesn't even see my phone, so not even manual syncing is possible. I've managed to manually copy the files across using the file explorer, but they show up as music, albeit a podcast genre.
Is there a better option?
I tried searching the net but nothing obvious or any solution came up. Otherwise I wait in hope for WP8.1
