Does anyone know if WP8 will be able to send a PDF document? Is my current inability to do this on Mango a shortcoming of the OS, or is this Adobe’s problem? Can iPhone or Android do this?
Thanks!

Send in which way? Usually a WP app will give you the possibility to share a document or to send a message / email....Can you give us more details?
Sure.
Send via Email. Or via any method. Is there a way to Email a PDF file?
Thanks!

Unfortunatelly this is a big fault of WP and/or Adobe... as it is not possible to send via Email a pdf....but there are some workarounds :
1: You can upload your email/file to skydrive and, through the official skydrive app you can share the link to the file
or
2: you could use Handyscam official app to share a pdf from your phone

Thanks for the good suggestions for work-arounds on this issue. I have and occasionally use Handyscan.
My wife, an iPhone user, is able to do this, which is important in her work.
There is almost nothing that can be said when someone asks what another platform can do that WP can’t, but this one is a clean kill and it frustrates me.
My question is: Will they fix this in WP8? Is anyone addressing this?
Thanks!
It seems that WP8 will feature the possibility for Apps to share files with each other (as found in the leaked SDK). This should also enable attaching files to E-Mails but we will have to wait an see wether Adobe implements that feature into their Acrobat Reader. This is not possible with WP7.x though.

I did all the searching I could before posting this so I hope my first thread doesn't turn out to be a fail. Firstly I got root on my phone the other day and installed the Magic image and it works really well!
My question is does anyone know if browser uploads can be enabled somehow through root? I have a torrent server setup at a friends ISP and it would be really nice to be able to upload torrent files to it on the go. Is this currently possible or is there anyone currently trying to get it working?

you might rename this thread to something like Torrent/Browser Uploads .. there may be other people looking for info on this .. i honestly have no clue .. there is only one other thread talking about torrent connections and that's via tethering .. so there could be some connection

happy reading!
I guess I should elaborate, what I am talking about specifically is when you go to a page with an upload form, where you would normally select a file it just says "Uploads Disabled".
I'm not actually trying to do torrents on the phone, I essentially just want to upload a file over the browser.
Have you tried with the steel browser?

Most likely uploads like that are blocked by the carrier. If they allowed that it would bog down their network and slow everyone else down. The only uploads permitted are pictures to like facebook or myspace.
Well if i remember quite correct , it also says "UPLOAD DISABLED" when surfing via WIFI ..
Its more due to the fact that the G1 has no file browser by default and the published one doesnt go deep enough into the system (aka the browser just dont recognize them) ... :-Z

What torrent application are you running on this server? BarTor handles torrent uploads to several popular torrent clients (uTorrent, Vuze, KTorrent). If it's not one of those, we can certainly look into supporting the client you are using. I realize this is not quite the same as what you are asking for but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

This sucks .. for each site and upload a different app <.<
Huh? BarTor is one app, which enables download of torrent files from anywhere and upload to anywhere that is running one of the supported torrent download clients. It was only a suggestion as an option for darrin0101.
I get what you are saying though, and if this post was not specifically about torrent uploading, I'd probably not have commented at all. I wonder why no one has recompiled the browser with a file manager, or to use an existing one? I'd do it if I didn't have to download the entire android source to do it...
Well, i would if i could more than php and mysql ^^
I don't know if a filemanager can take the role for this because i dont know if the browser has a pick file hook
further this should be for nonrooted android users as well
But i would'nt say no to a fix for this only for rooted users :>
Just set up an FTP server on the remote system, and use one of the FTP clients on the market for uploading? uTorrent allows for automatic loading of new torrents in a specific folder.
Oh, and shall i upload pictures to websites this way too?
attach files to rapidshare this way too?
attach files at a forum this way too?
and so on..
has there been any progress on this yet? i would like to be able to upload pictures to my site, which is wordpress powered so i have an upload form.
Maybe give loccy a ring and see if he knows how.

I doubt that's doable granted it would probably involve modifying objects in the Browser.apk, so the people who would be able to use it on their phones would be the rooted users who can push modified browsers to their Android phones.
U have to use the oprea browser it let u upload anything.
i don't like opera too much, granted it works for this issue but the ui is ugly imho. besides i'm a bit ocd and i prefer to have the original pieces of software but working the way they should have been from the start. which usually means modding the stuff that came on the phone

youtube.com probably won't work with any browser, at least until java for android comes out. why not just use the youtube app?
I need to copy some extensive chat data files from Skype on my Android SGS1... before I flash new firmware. Even Googling can't point me in any sort of direction or filepath! Where the heck, rooted or unrooted, will i find these data files and specifically chat?
Thanks guys
as far as I know, Skype Chat-data is on their servers, so unreachable for you. you should be able to flash and still have your chats - though I noticed that if you log on Pc there's a different chat history than on the smartphone... maybe they store it extra for the skype app?
I can not guarantee for the things I wrote - but I think it's just that way.

Hi, well on a PC Sype files are kept on the PC itself and never on Skype..the reason the chats may differ between a PC and Andrpoid device is, you had one on and not the other, so they did not syncy. So I really fear fklashing as these chat records are very very valuable indeed and I can't afford to lose them! Thanks, but any other ideas out there?

Other than the 1020, all other Lumia's are waiting on the carriers to fuc$ around for the next 6 months. I hate US carriers.
keep an eye on ncs. I'm sure we'll see them creep up on there before being released ota.
Yep, or you could try the Nokia Software Updater for Store. Its a lot simpler to use and it will actually tell you and download the newest firmware when available, but most of the people reading this already know that....
Waiting for the Black Update on meh 928.

I have a Lumia 720 as business phone and I hope that next update will bring the possibility to select attachment with the mail client. I don't care all the other new features I read on latest news.....
Currently I can only select pictures as attachment on mail which sound strange for me it this is considered a business phone.
I guess we should wait for users getting the update to confirm that this feature will be included now.
Just because your company calls it a business phone doesn't mean Microsoft considers it one. From the beginning, MS unapologetically marketed Windows Phone as a consumer phone. They focused on personalization, user-friendliness, and social features but neglected business features like VPN support, encrypted email, mobile device management (WP7 didn't even support encrypted storage at all), and attachment support (although you can attach Office documents from within the Office hub).
Updates and new releases have slowly improved this area, and future versions will improve on it further (S/MIME encrypted mail and mobile device management are both said to be coming this year, along hopefully with VPN and better WiFi security options) but to call WP a business OS at this point in time is silly. It's a personal, consumer OS that has support for some business features, much like iOS was a few years after its initial release.
Define the problem, not the solution...
You can of course attach other files to email via WP8 (and 7.5 for that matter). If you're trying to work with PDF/DOC/XLS/other office files, you need to go to office, bring up the context menu on the file that you wish to send and click Share... This will allow you to send the file.
If you wish to share files via SkyDrive - this only sends a link or uses the Share functionality from SkyDrive.com.
I guess if you think about it logically, you define the problem - sharing a file; not the solution - adding an attachment to an email.

Thanks for the hint. I mean that if you like to reply to a discussion and attach a document, perhaps saved from another mail, for my understanding this is not possible currently. Starting a new mail and attach a document or share from office is fine but in a regular use is not a typical use when you should follow up an open discussion with an existing distribution list instead of opening a new one from zero.
So I have the Nexus 6 and my wife has the iPhone 6. This seems to be something very basic but I can't seem to figure out the best method. Do you guys have a good method of sharing videos between the two devices? I know I can send a Dropbox link (or similar) but is there a way to transfer the video directly? MMS greatly reduces the quality of the video and I don't believe I can send it via Hangouts. Is there another good method that lets me send the video directly without forcing her to clicking a link and then downloading it? Thanks.

if its smaller than 25mb, you can send it via gmail. any larger size then you will have to upload it somewhere(like youtube for example) and share the link.
Kind of crazy that there isn't a better method. Airdrop with iPhones works great so I'm surprised there is no cross platform similar service.

If you are trying to share the video with somebody who is nearby, Android's built in Beam should work as well (Android to Android only though). With Lollipop, the Ancdoid Beam has been improved to support all file types.
Personally, I rely on the auto-upload to G+ and share from there (or a manual upload to Youtube and share from there)

NextNexus,
Give this a shot! http://instashareapp.com/
Looks like it may do what you need!
Tell them to come to you and show it to them on your phone. Their iPhone screen is so small, if they look on their phone, they won't be able to see what you want to show them.
Yeah this is the only thing I hate about being an android guy with iPhone friends. But I just utilize messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook messenger or email it.
Share it in Drive

According to this post, Samsung Notes stores my data in data/data/com.samsung.android.app.notes, so I backed it up. Though, when I try to restore it on my phone, Samsung Notes crashes. Restoring only SDocData and app-attach directories does not work either as the app shows 0 notes. Restoring the database file leads to a crash again.
It's been also noted in the post that one can view the notes with the .sdoc extension but I was unable to find any raw text in them when opened as .zip archives. There are .dat files inside.
What do I need to do to recover my notes? I have over 300 notes and no cloud backup.
Hello,
Did you try to download the PC app of Samsung notes and login with your Samsung account?

It's an Ubuntu based Linux distribution.
Apparently you can view the notes as plain text here but I don't know what this online tool is doing different. When I try to open the same file with vi, I see random strings of characters.

Can I load all my Samsung Notes files? I'll need even the locked ones, though it requires me to sign in to unlock them, which I can't as I don't want to provide Samsung with my phone number.
