Hi
Is there a program that can synchronize images between phone and tablet WITHOUT having going through Dropbox, SkyDrive, Flikr, Facebook, Ubuntu One and all the other online solutions?
I would like to synchronize specific folders with pictures using bluetooth or wifi.

Hi,
I am avid reader of these forums, and finally pulled the trigger and got the Samsung Captivate (I had to stick with AT&T). I am relatively new to Android, and I was stunned but what I got with my Captivate!! (all due respect to my old beloved Tilt with WiMo). To think I was seriously considering iPhone 4
Anyway, I am yet to root the phone - will wait a few more days to get comfortable. For now I have been playing with a ton of apps etc.
I have a 100 GB iTunes Library which sits on my home server. I am looking for a solution where I can selectively sync certain albums and playlists to my phone. No point in carrying around 2 devices. I have already tried Double Twist. The problem is I need to install the client on my Laptop and get the music synced from the home server. I have got this working by manually adding 1 folder at a time - which is cumbersome, and not to mention that I loose artwork, ratings etc.
So, I am looking to [Home Server] <--> [Laptop] <--> [Phone]. At any point the source for this library is the Home Server, Laptop is only a pass thru.
Why use the laptop in the middle? I don't want to store media files here (work laptop).
Why not directly sync with the Home Server? It sits in the basement and I am lazy to go down the every time I want to sync that was my major irritant with iPod syncing.
Any recommendations?
Regards
Nick
Can't you set up home sharing in iTunes? That way you can see your library from your server on your laptop, and have doubletwist pull your playlist from that iTunes.
Home Server <--> Laptop --> DoubleTwist --> Captivate
I can't remember the exact steps, but I know you can pull from a home server like you are saying. Most people do it with their home theater set ups, but I don't see why it couldn't be done this way
I just use estrong file manager, and am able to get to my file shares via wifi. While this might work exactly like you want you won't have to plug in. just a thought.

I found Doubletwist to be unstable. I used MediaMonkey. It supports playlists and syncing to mounted drives or media devices. If you mount your homeserver as a drive letter on the laptop, then MediaMonkey should work fine.
The free version did all i needed, but it doesn't sync video - just music.
Google is your friend.

This works with any android phone.
so i switched from iphone 3GS to the Thrill mostly for the 3D, but as there is no iTunes for Android, AT&T points Thrill owners to use DoubleTwist, but it seems to mostly sync music and video from your PC/Mac, not the photos and videos from you phone to your computer.
what do people use? i can't say i love android so far, but not being able to get my media off the phone is aggravating...
Just plug the phone in and turn on USB mode. Treat the phone like a flash drive, and copy the files where ever you want.
Not having iTunes was the biggest selling point for me when I got my first android phone.
If you have a Google+ account you can set the Google+ app to automatically upload all pictures to your Google+ account. I don't know for sure the jps photos will upload, but I think they do.
There is no Full featured backup program for android to backup your phone in your computer. DoubleTwist is a way to put music and videos on your phone, so is windows media player. Or, you can drag-and-drop any media on there manually. That is my preference: manual sync.
Backing up your phone isn't like iPhone. When you do a factory reset on your phone it does not wipe the internal SD, or the external SD. All that does is delete your apps, and reset your settings to default. So, losing the data on your android phone is harder, you need to go out of your way to delete pictures, music, etc. If you use the external SD card for that stuff, then you can just pull the card out, even if your phone is water damaged, smashed, etc.

Ok, so we all know how Google music currently only uploads from your PC, and I'm sure we all hate the fact that when we download new music to our tablet or phone from some other source (like Amazon or MP3Downloader) it doesn't upload to GM.
I know the work arounds like Drop Box and setting GM to search the USB Drive connection of your device for new music, but both require either the PC being on and awake 24/7 or the phone being connected to the PC. I think that defeats the purpose of GM's sync design.
So here's my Idea: (Mind you I don't have the know-how to even begin this, so if it's impossible forgive me. )
Couldn't one of the amazing DEV's on XDA decompile the Google Music Uploader program that runs on the PC and take what's needed from that (such as the upload urls or commands or whatever) and use it to create an Android App that will do the same? Then you could have a standalone app that monitors your /music folder and uploads new files to your GM account. Similar to the way G+ uploads new pics.
Again I have no idea how or if this could work but I thought it was worth mentioning... Any takers?
Tired of hooking up the cable, looking in the camera folders and copying my pics over to the Mac. Is there an easier way?
Thanks
Google+ Instant Upload
Instant Photo Uploads from Android is Google Plus's Killer Feature
or get a dropbox account (I assume there is a mac client) - the android client also does auto upload of photos to your dropbox account.
Hi,
I'm not 100% sure, but I've had access to my cloud photos from gallery app in P10 (like they were still on phone). Now I see only photos made with this phone.
All synchronization options are on. Any one knows how to access those photos without using web app/browser?
Best regards
TBH,
I use google photos, flickr and one drive to backup my photos to the cloud, this ensures I can use them across all my devices (mobile, tablet, pc, laptop, tv)
Have you checked via the windows login to see if the photos are showing
Yes, when i login in browser I can access, download etc all uploaded files. Just don't see them in phone
Looks like I can only upload them but not download or view directly in gallery app
