whenever i try to upload one of my recorded videos to youtube through my phone, it always says i have to have a wifi connection to do this
is there any way to change this so i can upload via my data connection?
This is also an issue on the HTC Desire :-(
I'm also searching for a solution
software limitation only allows files under 3MB via 3G everything else has to be done by wifi or through your computer.
I hate to resurrect an old thread, but is there still no way to get around having to be on wifi? It really is a drag having to be on wifi to upload videos
I used the following workaround :
- download from the market the Qik Video application
- open a free account on Qik.com and edit your account preferences so you can share your videos on youtube, facebook,etc
-run the application on your phone and browse your local saved videos (you don't have to actually record the video with the qik application).
-upload your video to your qik.com account (no file size restriction or connection method restriction)
-go to qik.com and login into your account
-share the video on youtube
Hope it helps.

NIce work around, still not what i was hoping for, but it will have to do
So I had this idea for a longer time now.
I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.
Is this possible?
It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.
But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.
The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?
Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.
It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?

DLNA
If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.
Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.

I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.
I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.
When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.
Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.

Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.
A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.
That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.
Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...
Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.

Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.
Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?
That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!

Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.

So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.
I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.
I just get some error that its not availible.
Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.
If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.

Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.
Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)
An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.

I just send files back and forth with bluetooth. No 3g connection required.
Sadly I don't have a Bluetooth USB stick and Joseph (wtf fail autocorrect: iOs) doesn't allow filetransfair for Bluetooth.

That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.

Jep i know that.
Its called ibluenova and it didn't even work on 3.x, it was quite buggy. on ios 4.x it doesn't work at all.
so that is no option.

When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.
Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.
When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)
Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.
I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.

file expert its working very nicely.
Only problem is that it uses data.

Hi Diemex
Are you sure it's "using data"?
File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.
Glad it's working for you.

Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.
The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.
Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.
Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

When I am using an app to access the internet media, I am always curious about where do they download the data and where is the downloaded content. Is there an app out there that allows me to have an internet access record of selected apps?
My mobile data works when doing speed tests or sending what's app messages yet it doesnt work in my web browsers,yotube or any other apps that require net... any suggestions on how to fix this? I am seeing "h+" and I am pickin up internet signal since my speedtest shows downloads of around 3mbps.

there is no reason why ti should work on whatsapp and not on browser , anyway try resetting the phone and try to get some proper configuration from your service providers.
I've read random articles that state some apps or vpns can assist getting free wifi connections or Internet in general. Anyone familiar with any of this?

Short answer: NO
They are probably scams. VPN-apps don't give you free wifi they connect to VPN-servers through your internet connection and that VPN-server connects to the server of a website you are browsing (e.g. google.com) or service you use (e.g. Viber) this way the site you are browsing or the service you use won't know your IP-address instead they will get the vpn-server's IP-address (great if you get banned from a game for example or a service is not available in your country), but they can't give you free wifi or internet. There is an app called Opera Max though which will compress the data you use through a vpn server and will (probably) reduce your data/wifi usage (with showing the same amount of content). Works best with video/picture downloading/viewing. I've had a great experience with it. It may be a little bit slower than usual but it might use half the amount of data/wifi.
