[APP] Sending files from PC to GalaxyS via wireless internet

Hi.
I'm introducing an awsome application made by Samsung.
Its name is SnapNGo.
There are two files which are sng_setup.exe and SnapNGo.apk.
SnapNGo.apk is installed on your device and sng_setup.exe is on your PC.
In order to use them, those two machines must be online.
After installation both of them, turn on the Snap N' Go file in your PC.
And then turn on the SnapNGo application in your device as well.
You must see the camera screen.
Default setting is "from PC to Device".
If you want to pull a file out from PC, just take its photo.
Put the file icon in the middle of Camera's focusing box and press shoot button.
That's all. Your file will be located in /sdcard/SnapNGo/
Here's the attachment's link. It's 9.07MB zipped.

A sad thing is that it doesn't work on Froyo, at least with mine.
edit : Oh my god.. there is the place where I should've written down this kind of thread.
I'm sorry, how can I move this to there?

HAHAH !!! it works
This a really nice app thanks buddy
-TB-

Is this just for camera photos or can you send any file?

from PC to your device : I think any files are available. I haven't tested all files but there were nothing I couldn't send. e.g. apk,zip,txt etc..
from I9000 to PC : there are only a few files supported. jpgs or something.

PC client crash on Windows 7 x64.
At least on mine :/

Well, it's for the people who use M110S, Korean galaxy s, but I got it on Sammy's website and tested. It worked!

Don't suppose an x64 version was available? (I did try to find the page but couldn't)

You may want to try SwiFTP, it does ftp over wifi. It's a 1 click setup and you can then access it with any machine on the network. Super fast and easy.

many thanks for this helpfull program, which works perfictily ob the latest orange froyo 2.2.
however, there is newer addition of it, if some one can bring it to us, that would be great.

Thanks for pointing out. very nice utility. Another one is Wifi Explorer pro.

Astro file manager I can transfer any files from my pc to phone and vice versa if you connected to the network via wifi

Will stick with awesome drop, this is a bit clunky, but very clever.

Help with Gameboid

Hey guys . i have been killing a game on my phone the last two days , and am wanting to get the save states from my gameboid app off my phone so i can load them onto my wii .
Problem is i cant find any trace of gameboid in my file system anywhere. Anyone know where the save files go to? or where gameboid installs to?
i would just download one off the net , but thats dirty , and its kind of a rare game so i couldnt find any anyway.
I know this isnt a typical question and kinda nerdy , but at least its a break from froyo threads haha .
thanks guys

sweet! have you already tried using ADB to browse the system files / partition of your phone? You are not limiting your search to just the SD Card...right?
ABD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875963

Didn't use adb, but browsed around in root manager. But I'm not real where to look. I found the apk haha. But no trace in the system. Still looking though

If it's like the other apps installed to the phone, it should save to /data/data/<name of apk>/ and if it isn't there, it may have made a directory on the sdcard.

Gameboid savegame files get saved in the exact same place as the ROM, wherever you put it. They're even suffixed as .sav.

You're Over analyzing this. The save states are on your sd card. Just mount your phone on your pc. Look in your sd card for the save states. If you can't find them I'll load gameboid up and find where it defaults to, but when I used nesoid I had to choose where my games where then the save states generate there.

were you successful in porting your save files to VBA? I want to do the same on my mac instead of my wii

actually , not yet . looks like vba and game boid do not use the same save state types . But i am looking into a way to convert them now . im pretty sure its possible. will report back when i have succeeded haha

Actually, i've been working on this.
I found the .sav file on my phone, copied it to my pc, did some linking stuff in no$GBA (just another GBA emulator), and was able to save it.
However, when you are trying to place the file back on your phone it won't be detected by Gameboid, it loads from the save file it keeps itself which is called a .ss0 file (first saving slot), when you delete the .ss0 file it also wont read the .sav file and just asks you to start a new game.
So now im trying to find a way to bypass / edit my way in so i will be able to throw back my .sav file to my phone to keep playing there, however not much succes there yet.
Edit:
Just figured out that i can turn off that the auto save will be loaded directly, so can "load" my own safe file first now, however the game says the save file is erased due to corruption or damage, so i will try to make a new save file using another emulater... will keep you guys updated

Very interesting. I'm having similar issues. Make sure to keep me posted. I'm still working on it as well. Surely one of us will figure it out.

Install app from pc to HD2 ?

Hi.
Is there any way to install an app (apk file) from PC to the phone ?
I can't install app by the phone directly.
Thanks .

Yes, DroidExplorer or via HTC Sync.

Or through android market on your pc.

True, although strictly it still downloads the apk from the Market and doesn't install an apk that you already have saved to your pc
@mattfmartin, do you happen to know where the data for this download would be charged to, ie would it come off of your pc bandwidth or against the phones data bundle? I was just wondering that and as data costs are pretty expensive here in SA it would be really useful to know?

Look into using the adb on the Android sdk. Simply put is adb push insertnamehere very simple

Thanks did know that. WiFi is also not that prevalent here (starting to pick up though), but I guess I do need to set up a home wifi network sometime though LOL.

I have the above showing that its taking up 5GB on my Nexus 7, when I go to Settings > Storage >Misc files.
What is it? What app uses that?
Just wondering what to do about it.
Thanks,
Jon

Just a guess but may be for an RSS feed I would delete it if it takes up 5gb

I don't want to delete it, since it might mess up an app I am using. Rather, I would like to know what app its related to. Is there any way to find out?

Looks like it's for this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meecel.feedreader.RssDemonAd
Edit: Can't imagine for the life of me why an RSS feed app would take up that much space, unless it's configured to download and store content or something.

Nicely found and that helped, thanks. It didn't show under Installed Apps but showed under the All list, under MyApps. Not sure what the All list is meant to show? Previously installed apps?

Correct. If you no longer use the app, you should be fine to delete the data. As the above post mentioned, if in doubt you may just rename or move the folder first to make sure nothing breaks.

I can't seem to delete the cache folder as there are too many files in the folder. About 20K I believe. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

What file manager app are you using? Maybe try a different one, I like solid explorer and root browser myself.
You might also try connecting the tablet to a PC and see if you can delete it that way.

Buying Essential. Related non-Essential Question

Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers. I'd like to stay away from any kind of wiring or PC use. Thanks.

Dropbox seems to be a solution. I still would appreciate additional input. Thanks.

You can take an ADB backup... Which should copy everything on device to computer...
If you are rooted... You can do it via wireless ADB

I'm using an app called HandShaker...work fine for me...

X-plore file explorer will transfer over wifi sharing.

You might want to check into an app called superbeam. It uses wifi to transfer as well and you can use it afterward to transfer files from your PC to your phone and from your phone to PC.
