how to upload any file in gmail from your g1

Ok so seems I've seen this asked in a few differnt theards so I fig I would just post up info once.
For uploads, yes its disabled, but there is a work around. Go to linda file mgr. Long press the file u want, select send to, then gmail (email doesn't work for some reason, has to be gmail). It will automatically bring u to a new email with the file attached ready to send. I've tested this with all types of files, test up to 7mb so far.
Now to get uploads working on websites...

Thanks, that helped a bunch. Good luck getting upload to work =D

Thank you so much for this!!!!!! I really needed it couple of days ago... I know now!

Ok so I have an update on my tests, but first let me clear up some things I've read in here.
Just installing linda file mgr will enable Downloading of any file type, but uploads though browser are disabled. Thats why i came up with this method.
So test results:
Yes you can Upload .zip files. I sent a few small ones to my other email. You can pretty much send Any file type.
Yes there is a file size limit. Only bigger files I had on my phone was .mp4 and 1 update.zip(46mb). The size limit is around 20 mb. I sent several up too and including a 19.46mb.mp4 and all went though.I then sent a 24mb.mp4 and would not go though. It just hangs in outbox. If after 30 mins (or whenever ur satisfied that it won't send) delete it out of out box, because u won't receive new emails till its deleted, cause its repeatly trying to send I guess.
Can a mod pls change the title of this thread to something like "yes you can upload any file type in gmail" or something like that so people know this is a how too and not a question. thanks.

can u download from the web or not

Yes g1 in its stock form will let u download "known file types". installing linda file mgr installs a plug in that let's you download any file type. What I am telling u how to do is upload, that is send any attachment you want though gmail.

ASTRO 1.3.11 includes this plugin for the browser download as well. question is now, How do I download pdfs and the like using the GMail program... I can preview the file. How do I save it?

You can't dl them in the gmail app, but you can go to gmail.com in ur browser, when u click on the pdf (or any other file type for that matter) it will automattically download it to ur sd card

download problems?

hi peeps.
i have a question, am i the only one having problems
while trying to download files cabs in all browsers?
by problems i mean, once i hit any download links,
the browser starts to download. but never actually
downloads the contents? thanks in advance.

mmm when you download it do you tell it what folder to store it so you can install it?

thanks for responding.
and no, i just click save and it should automatically save to my documents.
but the .zip or file downloaded regardless of size. just never even start.
theres an icon for it in my documents. but it wont launch, since it didnt
even finish dling. but this only happens in opera.

[GUIDE] How to upload files from your computer

How to upload for free
Yes I'm serious and I had someone ask me and i remember I didn't know how to upload stuf so I put together this guide on two different ways.
The first way is to use your gmail account. (You can only do ten mb at a time though for either way but most update zips or roms aren't going to use that much.) Open up your mail account click compose mail then attach. It will upload the file to your email. click save now and it will save it as a draft then right click on the uploade folder and scroll to copy link location. There's your link to attach your done.
The second way is to use your windows live email account. Click new then click attach. It will let you pick something off your computer and upload it. Send the message to your self and begin to download it then go to your downloads box and right click the download and copy link. That's your download link. (you can stop the download now to )
On either of these ways you have to save the message as a draft or mail it to yourself. Cool part is none of that wait 42 seconds nonsense. Also imo gmail is faster

Downloading attachment failed.

I have the Bell Galaxy S and sometimes email attachments will fail to download. For example I can't download an mpg or jpg file my parents sent me. However, I can download a small text file. Anyone have similar issues and does anyone know how to fix it?

I have an issue downloading "large" files.
It's weird because it seems to be source dependent as well. I was able to download a 34MB HTC sync driver yet a RAR file of 40MB wouldn't download even though the save to pop-up showed up on opera and i pick location but it never starts.
in the built in browser on the other hand i get unsuported file error show up.

I was using the Samsung Email with my hotmail account sync'd. Mpg files and jpg files failed to download. It's very frustrating...even a pdf failed to download but I know I had been able to download one before.

you guys should try this

... double posted

do you have astro file manager installed? if so, there is an option to enable the browser to download unknown file types or smth like that, but it also states that it will mess up your email attachments, so if you have enabled it, you know what to do ^^
cheers

yes astro works too

Sorry, how does this affect using Samsung Email to download attachments? Does it even help? I'd really just like to know why certain files download fine as attachments to the attachment folder while others do not. How can I make it so I can download all attachments...?

it works just like your file association in windows
if you do not have an App installed that can handle the file type, it wont let you do anything with the file, not even saving it to disk

That's stupid that you can't even download the file. Thanks for the help guys.

Doom for android help

So the doom project has been shut down because of copy right issues, what id like to know is how many people out there have a working version of this and would be willing to share it with me
OR
If anyone would be so kind to advice me how to install the game so it runs.
I have a doom1.wad, prboom.wad and libdoom.so but I can't get the libdoom to install cos astrofile manager won't recognise the file type. And on the ' menu ' screen you get options to install wads and download them, I can't get it to not try to download stuff because there is nothing there to download as its all been removed cos of bloody copy right issues.
Any help would be great thanks

I'm with you, brother!
I've placed a mess of seemingly appropriate files in seemingly appropriate directories, and when I start Droid Zoom (on my HTC Evo Shift 4G) it doesn't know there are WADs there, and insists on trying to download a hard-coded WAD from google, which isn't there.

This is the only way that works for me right here :
- Download the following 3 files to your sdcard.
- Make sure that Install from Unknown Sources is Checked (System -> Manage Apps)
- Install prboom4android.apk
- Open your sdcard and create a folder called 'doom'
- Extract Doom.zip
- Extract prboomx-reqfiles.zip
- Copy the contents of the doom.zip (Doom wad file) to /sdcard/doom/doom.wad
- Copy the contents of the prboomx-reqfiles.zip to /sdcard/doom/prboom.wad and prboom.cfg
- Open prBoomX and play!

Hope that helps

Works perfectly!!
Wish you could save the game though :S

I followed exactly, but got this error message when press 'Play'
"CheckIWAD: iwad tag /sdcard/doom/doom.wad not present"
Yes I have checked \sdcard\doom\doom.wad is there
