Have you ever heard of Dropbox? It's not quite as simple as what your asking for but works nicely with the Dropbox app for Android.

http://db.tt/Bdz1z7E or go to dropbox.com
[Android Apps and Games] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thank you for the suggestion dusting17.

How secure is this Dropbox? I could have used this a few weeks ago before my laptop crashed. I have sensitive info that was on there like my resumes and stuff.

Thank you for your suggestion,

But in your case, may DropBox be better because you don't need to download or backup to your phone: it's all on the cloud.
[Android Apps and Games] ChaoticEko:
Hey... suggestion...

Awesome Drop does an amazing job as well, I use it for most of my transfers. requires no software on pc side, and one app on phone. does a great job. then you can open the files in any app on your phone.

I use dropbox to transfer files from PC to phone or vice versa. gotta say this app works like a charm.

[Android Apps and Games] firstin:
Doesn't dropbox actually store ur files on the net? Therefore your using data allowance? I use dropbox for files I want to access from other computers or phones outside my home network. Otherwise "my phone explorer "is the best I've found just need the programme for ur PC aswell and the it's just like connecting USB but over wifi. And faster than dropbox because ur not using data just ur home network!.

My 2 cents anyway. :)

Hi I found this problem recently with all newer Builds. If I watch movies or play any game for at least 45 min I think the phone over heats and freezes.

I used to watch a bunch of movie before in older builds without this problem but at the time those build had a bunch of lil problems so that's why I don't go back to those build and the builds are perfect and this is the only problem I get.

I want to know if u dont have this problem what Radio you are using and windows mobile I dont think its a problem with the builds but a combination of maybe RADIO and winmo.

My Radio is 2_12_50_02_2 and wimo is ChuckyDroidROM I also should say that I think is the Radio I dont like messing with them cause some might brick ur phone that why I would like to see what radio u using before I try to use them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gyntis:
Yeah... I have the same problem and I can't get over it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
I checked the temps for my phone last night, droped the battery to 40% and started charging it.

Was watching a movie with the phone charging, audio thru bluetooth, WiFi on screen on (of course :P), and after almost 2 hours the temp went up to 37C, and thats tge highest I saw it.

Im using desire_hd2 Build by Cedes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
zephyrot what Radio and wimo are using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
Using Stock Deutschland ROM 3.14.407.2. With Stock Radio.

Everything working perfectly so far, been running Android for a few months, always on Stock ROMs without issues. (Unbranded Stock ROM btw).

Gonna make a stress test and post the temp results in a bit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
Did the tests.

1.5 Hrs with: Charging Phone + Music in the background + Wifi + Bluetooth + CPU @ 1.19GHz + Neocore on infinite Loop >> 38C highest temp.

Did the same test with Nenamark, and got the same results.

Ambient temp: 22 C.

Ill try another test with GPS + GMaps + Music thru bluetooth + Charging tomorrow and check the temps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
Thans zephirot I have a TmobileUSA hd2 so I dont know if i can havethat radio but it sould hlp ppl with the normal hd2... also the build i have everything works i can listen to music all day with no poblems.

The problems start when watching movies like for an hour or a bit less the phone would get a temp of like 40 C and freeze.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zephyrot:
The latest T-Mobile ROM should have that radio (2.15.something), just be sure to check out SSPL/SPL/HSPL compatibility, since 3.03 SPL is not compatible yet with latest HSPL. Leaving ya at 64 MB usable ram :P

Kinda weird your high temps, you using SetCPU? Try lowering the MAX Speed to 998Mhz (1.19Ghz should run just fine), and use one of the latest Builds.

Best ones so far for me have been:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
the HSPL is the thing I install before changing roms right?

I remember I install like 2.008
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
almost solved

ok ppls I've try changing the wm rom and Radio and for what ive found the phone will free either way no matter what So I think it has to be a problem with the newer builds.

My build is overclock but I had it to not go over the normal amount of speed 900 MHz and the phone would freeze after watching a movie for at least 40 min.

Now what I found that if you underclock the CPU like I did to 400-500 the phone would last much much longer even when charging. I got like 2 hours of movie and then let it cool down while charging.

also I dont know if this is important but I use Rockplayer to watch my movies and this couldnt be the reason for the freeze either cause ive been using it forever.

But I hope this help any other person who had this kind of problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
Im having same issue but it gets hot and restart after 10-20 minutes of hard use.

Im having theory it could be microSD card getting hot becouse of phone. IM not sure.

but i tried different ROMS, radios and Androids its the same problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
deniboy try lowring the cpu speed with set cpu to 400-500 I had it and 400 and see how it goes.

also everything else works fine on my build like Internet speed always fast no disconect and no errors this is the only thing bothering me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
400 minimum or maximum and with what governor????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddym123:
I have it on ondemand dont know if there is a difference but I do know it will run cooler and the cpu runs slower

Was out shopping today with sirphunkee and I found a 16GB Class 10 "WINTEC filemate microSDHC Flash Card" for $32.99 at Fry's Electronics.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw "C10" on the card and had to ask sirphunkee if it was even possible. He assured me it was. So not only did I get an awesome card, but it was $7 cheaper than the class 6 cards in the same section.

I'm currently busy transferring all of my files over, but I'm thinking of going back and grabbing one or two more, just in case :)
[HD2 Accessories] Snarksneeze:
This item is now up on their website. Not sure about the quantities, sorry.

Note: the website says it's class 4. This must be why it's so cheap! The class is actually 10 (as evidenced in the pics). I checked several of the packages behind mine to ensure it was in the right place, they all say "C10".

Attached are pics for proof :D
[HD2 Accessories] DIGItonium:
I looked up NewEgg for 16GB Class 10, but the reviews were less than favorable due to slower than advertised performance and cards failing. I ended up with an 8GB Class 6.

What's your write rates when you transfer the files over to the card? The class 2 averaged 11.1MB/s, while the class 6 hovered around 17-19MB/s. In terms of read rates, the class 6 averaged around 19.1MB/s. Someday I'll switch to a class 10 once I'm convinced it is reliable and that the read rates exceed 20MB/s. It's just nice for Android ;)
[HD2 Accessories] tw39515:

I didn't even know Class 10 existed until yesterday, so I can't speak to the rumors.

I immediately formatted (fat32/16ss) the card and dumped Android on there (m-deejay's desire hd 4.3/smartass) and while I'm having some issues with the ROM itself, the card has been stellar.

Please keep in mind that, until I picked up this card, I have only been running the 16gb Class 2. Any improvement over that will impress me, but without first-hand knowledge of the other classes, I can't really say.

Thankfully, tw39515 just reported in that he picked up a Class 4 and Class 10 both and is planning to do some testing :)
[HD2 Accessories] pablow:
its cheaper on newegg

I can't post links so just go to their website (newegg[dot]com) and search for wintec 16gb second link in the result page... prized at 29.49 with free shipping
[HD2 Accessories] tw39515:
no i only picked up the class 10, the link you posted was a class 4 but they did have the class 10. i have a class 4 32gb kingston and transfer rates are all over the place.
[HD2 Accessories] Snarksneeze:
Thanks, pablow! I found it here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161405

It did have a slightly lower customer rating than the other cards, as mentioned by DIGItonium, but I would like to point out that the picture on newegg is not the same as the one I have. Looking closely, you can see that on newegg the (C10) is near the bottom tab, but looking at my picture, the (C10) is near the top of the card.

Yes, I realize that it is one company name, but as mentioned on newegg, the card there appears to be a re-branded Samsung. This tells me that wintec is most likely a batcher as opposed to a producer and thus may have similar cards from two or more producers.

As a general rule, I tend to stay away from companies that re-brand, since you can never be sure of the quality of the product. I am still happy with my card right now, but I may have just gotten lucky :(
[HD2 Accessories] pablow:
Interesting, If you go to their website (wintecind[dot]com) and look arround you'll find the same product as on newegg (same picture and exact name). You said your card was named "WINTEC FileMate 16GB SDHC" while the newegg one is named "WINTEC FileMate 16GB

Mobile Professional

Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter"

Also the validity of comments is questionable, I don't think you can really tell if its rebadged, after all all microsd cards look the same... and we don't know the level of knowledge this guy posses in this topic. Wit that said he might right....

I might buy the newegg one in the next couple of weeks... if of interest to anyone I'll post benchmarks and what not..... (if I buy it lol)
[HD2 Accessories] Snarksneeze:
I must agree with you there. But I have to ask: How many actual manufacturers are there? My knowledge is that there are only a handful. This is based on news back in 2007 when power went out at one major facility and the resulting spike in flash drive prices caused some to consider inventing alternative storage.

Of course, 4 years in the tech sector might as well be a decade or more; things change too quickly to keep track.

My point: If there are only a few actual manufacturers, the brands we know are actually resellers (a common practice with batteries, in any case) and thus everything should be relatively equal in terms of good vs bad stock.
[HD2 Accessories] DIGItonium:
As long as your card exceeds the performance of the supplied 16GB Sandisk Class 2 card, you should be alright.

My card is the 8GB Transcend Class 6. I don't have the 16GB card, so here's the CrystalMark 3.0 bench for this card

Just wondering how is the web browsing when it's rooted? Is it pretty fast on wi-fi? Also has anyone ran skyfire on it for flash? I'm probably getting one tomorrow and was wondering because I do alot of web browsing. Thanks guys!
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
it seems to load pages slower than my evo 4g. i've done a few test and it's anywhere from 10-30 seconds slower. dunno what the slowdown would be since when i compaired my droid to the evo they were nearly equal in loading pages.

i used engadget as the test page and xscope and dolphin on both as the browsers.
[Nook Color General] gigadigit:
I SetCPU to Performance (600 min 800 max) and I am getting faster web load times than EVO 4g.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
still no difference with mine. 16 sec slower on latest test. 600/800 on demand.

800/800 the evo just beat it by 3 seconds.

still, not bad for a $250 tablet.
[Nook Color General] BertoJG:
Does it make a difference if you use an alternate browser?
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
i've used both xscope and dolphin, both current versions. dolphin seems to load faster. i'm not 100% on that as i only counted seconds after loading finished on the faster unit.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
So web browsing isn't a highlight on it then. I'm not sure how fast the EVO loads but it is a phone. Have you guys tried Opera in turbo mode? Might help ya out.

Also, has anyone tried Skyfire for flash or anything?
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
Rooted, running the Dolphin browser and page loads are good on wifi, roughly the same as my rooted phone on wifi.
[Nook Color General] Mistar Muffin:
I've tried all the major web browsers on my NC and Opera Mobile is by far the best experience. Dolphin HD is mediocre on load speed and downright sluggish and moving around the page and zooming. Opera Mobile is a full web browser (not to be confused with Opera Mini) and it has very smooth panning and zooming. It feels hardware accelerated even though it's not. You can also enable Opera Turbo in the settings which just made it that much faster.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
i've never liked opera and honestly i don't know why, lol. guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] muzicman82:
Hello all,

First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I have an HTC EVO 4G on Sprint. I am looking for an app that will manage the backlight in a way more like Windows Mobile's own built-in management. Here's what I am looking for more specifically. When charging or plugged in, the backlight should be full brightness and the screen should never dim or turn off. When on battery, the backlight could be set to dim after xx minutes, or not dim. The device should then shut the screen off after xx minutes.

With Android's built-in settings, all I can come up with is the setting for the screen to never sleep when charging, which is oddly placed under Applications -> Development. The screen timeout setting applies to both battery and charging statuses.

Why? When the phone is plugged in, I like to be able to quickly glance at it for time or notifications. I don't like having to hit the power button to check these. When on battery, the phone is usually in my pocket so taking it out and pressing the power button are almost one motion. It saves battery as well.

Also, in the car, I always have the phone charging. I've noticed that some GPS and other programs will keep the backlight on, but others will not. I've seen some applications just allow the backlight to dim, so I have to keep touching the display to wake it up.

Does such an application exist? If not, doesn't anyone else want to see such an application made?

This is one of the little things that I miss about Windows Mobile 6.5.

Hey guys, my dad has a Captivate, and he downloaded Tunee Music so he can download random songs and whatnot, but he doesn't have a micro SD card yet for the phone, and evidently there's no way (through the app) to change the save directory from automatically saving in a "Music" folder on the non-existent SD card. So I was curious if perhaps there is a method (command prompt maybe?) to change the save directory to somewhere on the phone's internal drive.
