[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H2O37:
Hi, I'm going on vacation soon and since my tablet (10.1) has only a limited amount of space, I was wondering if there is a quick and easy way to transfer files (movies and tv shows, ~700mbs) from my android phone (s3) to the tablet, without the use of the internet, as I might not have any internet connect and I wont be bringing my laptop. Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb909:
wifi direct in the settings menu or try an app called airdroid if you have a wifi router. Using the browser you can via wifi download and upload files
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Or get a USB OTG dongle (if your phone supports mass storage).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rs3vans:
It can be quite slow, but I've used bluetooth to transfer files as large as 180MB between my phone and galaxy tab before. You could try packaging your files in a zip (use es file explorer or something similar) and then transferring with bluetooth (keep in mind, it can take around 10 mins to copy ~200MB).

Wifi file sender. Make one device a wifi hotspot. Then connect the other and run the app on both devices. You'll know what to do...

I find myself in this situation because I travel pretty frequently abroad and for stays shorter than a month I bring with me only my smartphone (Galaxy Note) and my tablet (G.Tab 10.1" 3G) and there are tons of options:

- Wi-Fi direct. it's built-in in both the G.Tab and the S3 and you don't need internet, routers or cables and it's pretty fast, it's probably the best option for what you need

- free apps like Airdrop or Samsung Kies Air or (the one I use most because has both a browser-based files transfer and an FTP server, I have the paid version) Remote Web Desktop (for these you need a router though)

- an USB OTG adaptor for the G.Tab (AFAIK there is only the original Samsung one) and then connect the S3 as "mass storage device" (check in the settings, on my Note it's under "Wireless and networks"-->"USB settings"-->"Connect as mass storage device". you can also use an USB flash drive to store your movies or even a PC hard disk if it's in a powered external case

- the SD memory card reader adaptor from Samsung. same as the USB adaptor except you connect to it SD cards or microSD cards in an SD size adaptor. you can for example connect to the G.Tab the microSD card from your S3 (since you seem to store whole movies on your S3 I assume you are using also removable memory in it)

- Bluetooth (exactly like Wi-Fi direct except it's way slower)

I personally use all of the above methods, it all depends on what you have to transfer. Apps like Airdroid, Kies Air and Remote Web Desktop I use mainly at home with my PC (I hate using cables so rarely use the Note's and the G.Tab's USB cables with the PC), between my tablet and smartphone for small and few files I use Bluetooth, for big but few files I use Wi-Fi direct, for many files of whatever size I use both the USB OTG and SD card reader adaptors from Samsung (at the time I bought the G.Tab they were sold together with a small discount and they are both useful in slightly different ways).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naith32:
I reckon this is your best bet, especially for speed.

I bought my USB connector for my Tab 10.1 for around £3 off eBay and also the USB connector for my S2 for around £2 from the same place (3 cheers for the 'Bay' :)). Easy as pie and is a great help when travelling...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
I personally use WiFi Direct for big files like that, not really tried folders or multiple files (I'll give out a go tonight though) but of tone not tried that feature, you should, it's one of those features that I think should be highlighted more by Samsung in my opinion.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumkee:
Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the i9100 part of the forum. My current phone is the skyrocket, but my gf has the i9100. On the skyrocket side, things seem to be different from the 9100.

I have read it somewhere that the kernel and recovery are linked together. I realized that there are couple of main kernels in the forum: siyahKernel, Shun, DarkKnight and Dorimanx. Some have Touch recovery included and some don't. If I were to do the recovery by myself, which is the best one out there? On Skyrocket, there are TWRP and CWM touch. I'm not sure if there are other things or newest version on this end and which is more recommended.

Any input would be great.

THANKS!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Hey there, welcome to the I9100 side of things :angel:

As far as I know, and for my entire experience of using the Galaxy S II, yeah, the kernel and the recovery are linked. There very well could be ways to flash a recovery independent of your kernel, but I advise against it. Especially because of lot of recoveries are customized to suit the kernel they come with, and have additional features/layouts suited to it.

Personally, up until a few days ago I was using SiyahKernel and if you're looking for, more than anything, a stable, fast, and smooth kernel with a multitude of features, you can't go wrong with gokhanmoral's work. Other than that, I've been trying out N.E.A.K. ICS and Fluxi ICS lately, so I can't give you any input on the others you listed. However, I know for a fact that SiyahKernel, N.E.A.K. and Fluxi all come with modified CWM-touch.

Hope I've answered your questions?

screamworks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumkee:
Thanks for the response. It helped a lot. One more basic question if it's okay.

On the Skyrocket side, flashing a new ROM will replace whatever kernel that's currently on the ROM, how about the i9100? Do I have to flash the kernel each time after flashing a different ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Not a problem :angel:

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly the same here. For example, each day or two I flash a new nightly build of CyanogenMod 9, and when I do I immediately flash SiyahKernel/<whatever kernel I'm using> afterwards, otherwise it'll revert back to whatever's bundled with CM9.

screamworks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Generally.

ROMs tend to have kernels packaged within them. (I've yet to see a ROM that DOESN'T have a kernel packaged...)

So if you want a different kernel than what comes in the ROM, you'll have to flash the desired kernel after you flash the ROM.

EDIT to add: screamworks, I promise I'm not following you around. ;)

so i rooted my phone with UCLE5 and put the Siyah v343 kernel. but now what? i spent the last 2 days researching to successfully do this for speed improvements and what not. but i dont really see any differences in speed, or any differences at all. any suggestions on what i can do now because my phone looks the exact same way as it did before the root or what did you guys do after a root to make it seem like i actually rooted the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
If you're on stock ics (the official release) and someone told u there are speed improvements they lied. Any custom rom easily blows stock out of the water. Stock ( even when rooted) is basically for people who want to play it safe and for things to just work. If u want customization and speed ur best bet is an AOSP based rom. Good luck. Happy flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jody04c:
No issues with Battery life in all honesty. I can use for over 12 hours with constant use and it holds out without complaint. I couldn't say the same with the stock rom but I never really buy these handsets for stock use. I enjoy testing roms too much:rolleyes:

I have tried both and they are both great, but still have the echo problem. Mystic glory has fixed this and added many cool features such as S3 touch wiz. You do loose some of the developer options which I miss, but it is smooth, stable, fast and fully functional. In my book it is the best I have I have used so far. A couple fixes and the other two might be better, but until then.

Is that a common problem, or it's just with my device, that I should seek help for?

Do you have an app that tells you your device temp. It could be normal, but it's hard knowing if you don't know the actual temp.

I've noticed when using the radio vs WiFi, my device runs warmer. High 80's, sometimes higher if I'm running it a lot. WiFi always seems to run cooler.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
As long is it is not burning your hand, then it's perfectly fine. Most phones tend to warm up during use. You can perhaps try a different kernel if you are rooted and undervolt, some people claim it helps. If not then don't even stress unless it hurts to hold the phone.

I could name a few more Android advantages over iOS but at the end of the day what matters is what suits your needs. Despite my love for Android OS and have been using it since the HTC Magic times i can say that my iPad in terms of productivity is way better then a Android tablet, but the same can't be said about iPhone vs my Nexus.

[Android General] rj88:
Only ppl playing catch up to apple are the manufacturers. Android as an OS has a 54% market share. That 54% is split amongst HTC, Samsung, Motorola etc. While the iOS has a 34% share in the market but that whole 34% is represented by apple.

Manufacturers are behind when it comes to implementation of the OS and the hardware. While Google is ahead with features of their OS compared to iOS.

I think that's what ppl mean when they say Android is playing catch up because other than a few Android phones, none have gotten the recognition of the iPhone. To the majority of consumers, most android phones are "just another phone" ... its sumn I notice everyday when talking to my friends. They don't care about amoled or dual core vs quad core or which gpu is used or what version of android its running. To them its just Android vs iPhone.

Yesterday a friend of mine upgraded from an HTC incredible to a galaxy s3 and she hates it. Yes, she hates it. I know thats just one individuals opinion, but it goes yo show how ppl don't differentiate android phones. To her the incredible was a better fit and its "still android."

To me, it appears that Google is making more of a push to really put their Nexus brand out there. I hope it works but once they push enough units to where they can bring n enough Play Store revenue from nexus devices alone, I can see them making android closed source to create an exclusive ecosystem like apple has. Especially because they have an in house manufacturer in Motorola.

They're already slyly undercutting other Android phone manufacturers by playing to the appeal of having stock Android on the nexus devices and quicker updates.

That'll be bad news for companies enjoying so much success off of Android popularity, but I'm sure they already see this coming if I can.

Right now, Google is letting them stick around because of play store revenue from all the devices.

On another note, if Google is satisfied with the revenue they're bringing n, then I'm wrong, but it looks like they're already going down that path.

Until they do so, Android won't have a "true" iPhone competitor in the eyes of the consumer. Regardless of how many great phones come up a because the stigma of it being just another Android phone.

Just look at eBay. Great Android phones are selling for the same amount as iPhone 3g.... its ridiculous.
