We are replacing a firestick. It transfers my settings, but not logins. Is there a way to transfer so I don't have to log in to all my apps all over again?

I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.
I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free
Dropbox!
i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.
Websharing is the one for me
LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done
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.

Is there any way to transfer your books out of the kindle to add them to another account? I really want to create a new Amazon account but of course I don't want to lose all my books. I am rooted if there is any method that way.
Try calibre library program for PC's. You may be able to transfer them off
Need some advice for dummies.
I currently have a gnex that is in great condition but the Verizon trade in and black Friday deals were too good to pass up. This was my first smartphone.
What is the simplest way to transfer my data from one phone to another?
1. Contacts and calendar should go automatically since they are through Google.
2. Photos - is there an easy way to transfer these? I will back up all of them to a nas, and I only want to transfer some so is the best bet to just directly copy the ones I want to a directory on the new phone?
3. Music - all my stuff is on Google music so no worries there. Side note, anyone know a volume leveler for Google music? It drives me insane since they bounce around so much even in the same volume. And I've leveled all my music already! Don't have any issues playing through xbmc, my laptop, or even other apps on my phone.
4. Audio books. Don't have a lot but are big files? I guess my best bet is to transfer them onto a laptop then onto the new phone? Anything more direct?
5. Do I need any kind of file manager on the new phone? I downloaded ASTRO file manager when I first got this phone to see where stuff was actually downloaded too from the chrome browser but is that necessary on the 4.4 Android? I have 4.2.2 right now.
6. Passwords for Google Chrome websites and tapatalk forums... Those should also transfer automatically correct? Since the app is actually storing them remotely?
Hi, I accidentally deleted photos and videos from a Kindle Fire 7. I read online that using the program Recuva on a laptop and connecting the Fire to it could help me recover them. I connected the Fire tablet, but I'm running into the issue that the Recuva program isn't detecting the tablet. Is there any way to fix this issue?

You must have to backup your photos and videos using Google Photos, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or SD card.

But there isn't a way to retrieve the files from the tablet's free space as you normally would on a computer? Specifically using the program Recuva, since the other apps on Google play require rooting my device, which I rather not do. It seems as if it's possible to do it, but I need to find a way to have my tablet recognized as a drive on my computer. Assigned a letter, in other words?
