Cellspin app

does anyone have any history with this app? I downloaded it because I was looking for a way to quickly blog pictures and videos i take while out. I downloaded the cell spin app b/c it does that with a ton of services. Everything is fine except I can never get it to show the videos I have taken. It never finds them, and I even switched the format a few times. Anyone who has used this program got any tips?

I've never used that app, I use Qik for that type of thing, it's free and looks like the same exact idea.
Are you sure the app is pointed to the folders the videos get saved to? Some apps require you to manually tell them where to find stuff like that, especially if it's on the SD card.

i do use qik for streaming video, but this is different. This is more of a blogging tool. I should be able to update videos and pic to my blog, but it cant seem to find any of my videos. I ded just see that this phone is not officially supported on their site though

Yeah, looking over that list of supported phones, it looks like they gave up on winmo development quite a while ago...it looks like some of those are WM 6.1 devices, I don't see any that run 6.5, so that may be the issue.
I haven't used those features, I just thought qik could upload existing videos from your phone to most any blogging site (I know it can do it to their own site...you can pick stored videos instead of a live stream).

true. I was looking more for an all in one blogging platform. I'm using the livejournal app now,its coll but still very buggy.

[Q] On The Downloading Of .swf and .flv Files

I have recently bought a Samsung Vibrant (T959) and being new to the Android universe I have been doing quite a bit of head scratching. Before you jump to the conclusion that I am one of those that just refuses to do research when faced with a problem (and resort to spamming help forums with threads like: “how do I make a call?” or “I know my phone is ON but why is my screen BLACK!?!?!?!?!?”) or that I am simply a dumbass, let me say that I since flashed to Trigger ROM 3.2 on the suggestion of (and with help from) the all around awesome fellow s15274n, and am learning more about the Android system every day. I believe that most of you will be familiar with the saying, "you can't go swimming without getting wet," (or similar paraphrasing), but it seems to me that in the realm of Android moding the saying goes a bit different, "you can't get wet without jumping in the deep end."
Now that I have "jumped in the deep end" at the nudging of s15274n I have a much better understanding of flashing, ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM Manager and more, however in the case of downloading flv and swf file I have run into so many dead ends that I am starting to wonder if I really am just a dumbass. I have searched Google and xda without much success, some people mention Download Crutch (the last posts on this were dated late 2008) and some replied that the abilities of the aforementioned program are available in Linda and Astro, but after downloading I can't figure out how to make them actually "download" anything. I know there is a way to download stuff from YouTube, but I don't really surf YouTube that much. On my PC I use Orbit Downloader for ALL my downloading needs (if you don't have it, GET IT!), but I can't find something similar for Android.
Before I close I’ll fill you in on my situation. I have a Samsung Vibrant (3G). I am running Trigger 3.2 and have Flash 10.3 and a number of Flash “Players.” I am on the $30 a month T-Mobile plan which only gives me only 30MB per month, I can get a “unlimited day pass” for $1.50, but after the first 30MB the data rate slow so that video streaming is impractical to say the least. I would like to be able to download a movie or tv show (or mayhap something even less PG…or even R) using wifi to view later.
I suspect that there is a way to do so and that I am just missing something very fundamental as there are almost no recent threads on this and some people seem to imply that they are doing it, they just don’t say how.
I know that this is probably just a wee bit long for such a noobishly simple question, but hours of frustration have left me with some issues to work out. While I am on the subject, has anyone been able to watch megavideo without being redirected to that STUPID F%^&ING game website?
In closing, I find Flash withdrawal to be quite drag and I would be eternally grateful help getting my fix.

My First Android App - Released to the market - Named "PicAround" :)

Hi Guys,
I have just released a new app for the Android users.
I am an excited entrepreneur/developer, worked and developed the App all by myself
The app is free and I would like the world to enjoy it
I am posting here for 2 reason.
The Obvious one: to reach out! :fingers-crossed:
But the more important one:
I would love your feedback and notes and maybe some tips for how to get it out there with no budget
All of my friends are already running "alpha" for me on their personal devices.... but it`s only the tip of the iceberg from a technical point of view.
So this is where you guys come to the rescue :highfive:
So.... some details:
My App is Named: “PicAround”.
Basically PicAround is a "Mobile Camera App That Instantly Shares Everyone’s Event Pictures"
The App tries to reduce the hassle of getting your pictures from other people that were present at the event as you did. no need for emails Facebook, Dropbox, etc,
and it is easy to use:
Step 1. Select the event your are at from a list of local events (GPS Based)
Step 2. Capture the moment with the PicAround camera!
Everybody’s pictures taken at the event will be saved to a shared album instantly!
I believe it will match perfectly for large scale events, such as weddings, concerts, football games and so on..
You can find it on the app store:
Just search "PicAround"
I will also post a blog post soon enough about the process of developing the app - the server side.... tools and so on....
Hope you give it a try and like it

Hi there,
Nice idea! Congrats for the work.
My remarks:
1) Why do you force your users to use Facebook?
1.1) App opened and the first thing that poped up was Facebook login screen. I closed it and then.... that's it. I couldn't do anything else with the app. Just saw the logo. Had to leave the app and come back again to,, again, see the Facebook screen.
1.2) I was shown the Facebook login screen, asking to entenr my e-mail and password. I do have Facebook installed in my phone, so I would expect just to press OK and seamlessly log into Facebook, without having to enter my credentials... are you using API 3.0?
Give me a shout if you need some help with point 1.2, I have implemented it.
I left you rating/review to support ya
Cheers and good luck!
Ps: Dont forget to update this post with links do Google Play and Screenshots when you have 10+ messages in this Forum

Hi , thanks for the remarks

Hi, thanks for the relay and remarks:
I would like to respond to some of your remarks and maybe you will have some tip for me.
The events are public, meaning: all people at the area of the event can take pictures (currently there are no restriction).
So the least I am doing is to display a layout over the image with the name of the person who took it.
If I would create my own unique login mechanism (leaving the technical Burden aside) - users will be able to pick an unreal name - which I think is unfair to the users with real names
I could add login with google or some other login sdks available - do you think it will make it better? would you like to login with a different network instead?
In addition - In the future - I could use the social goodies Facbook offers (with the user approval of course) Which I would not be able to do without.
Currently (and in the future) I am not doing anything "bad" with the user info - only using it to display his name over his pictures at the event album.
As for SDK 3.0 - I was trying to use it - but is seems to fail - probably because the new SDK does not support android 2.1(update) versions (SDK < 8 not support) - it is not official (or at least I could not find a reference for it) - so I submitted a defect to Facebook about that.
(cannot post the url for the defect yet - 8 more to go - but I can email it if needed.)
I do not want to leave 2.1 behind as long as I have the option (my phone is 2.1 nexus one!! )
Would love any tips about this issue. (I have tried hard to use the native sdk).
about the timing of when to popup the facebook login screen...
If I would not do that immediately - then there is a chance that exactly at the moment the user is trying to take a picture - I would have to popup the login screen - sound bad to me.
(On the other hand - I am pretty sure - nobody will have his first try of the app - during an event - he would probably try it at home first).
What do you think about this? should I postpone the login screen to a later time? or maybe I could show an explanation to the user before the login, for the reasons I want her/him to login with facebook?
Again thanks for the replay and the Google Play review

Nice!

[Q] Nexus 7 / Andriod and VLE

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and if I have posted anything wrong or annoyed anyone, please let me know nicely.
Background:
I am very new to andriod (have not used it before) and I am very interested in learning to use it very well (including rooting it). I can write some programming language but I am not familiar with java or anything as fundamental at all, but I am sure I can learn it.
At the moment, I am planning to buy a nexus 7 to build up my android experience simply because it is not expensive and it should run the latest available Andriod being a google device.
Question:
At the moment, I am studying for a professional qualification (with BPP), and their online VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) is extremely annoying on browser, what is even more annoying is that they have "security" to the online streaming lectures, I cannot download them (even with softwares) nor stream them on tablets.
I was wondering if streaming these videos would be possible on a (moded) android? - I have put as much details of the type of streaming below
Dilemma:
Another totally off topic question is regarding nexus 7 2. Should I wait? I was thinking of just buying a 2nd hand or refurbed nexus 7 first and then cut the loses and buy the 7 2 when it comes out. Opinions on this would also be appreciated!
Reference:
Details regarding the videos - this is from their FAQ regarding the videos:
If you still cannot launch the online lectures please run the three diagnostic tests linked to below. Allow each test to complete and then take a screen shot of each result screen. Paste each screen shot into a single document and upload the document with the screenshots when you submit your issue to us using our Contact Form. Some of the tests may take a minute or so to run. Please wait until either 'Test Completed' appears or the flowplayer spinning circle is replaced with an image.
Check your bandwidth using the bandwidth speed test
We use a high compression ratio to make the size of our online lecture files as small as possible. However, to prevent poor quality there is a limit we can go to. This means that anyone launching one will need a minimum download speed of 512kbps. If you have less, then you may not get smooth playback. Carry out a bandwidth speed test to check what your download speed is.
Check you have streaming access using the protocol test
We use RTMPE and RTMPTE protocols to securely stream video to your browser. RTMPE is tried first. If this fails then we try to use RTMPTE. One of these protocol types needs to be enabled. This may be the reason why you can't see anything load. To test for these two protocols please run the protocol test.
The last test is the port test
The ports used for streaming are ports 80, 1935 (TCP) and your default port (normally set to 443). If they are not open for the streaming servers we use then you won't be able to see the lectures. To test the ports please run the port test.
If you need more info please ask - I am very keen to get this working, as I will need it for the next 3 months...
Thank you all very much in advance

So this is a very poorly disguised question about "How do I download a stream" which has absolutely nothing to do with the Nexus 7.
I suggest you contact the folks who administrate the streams to see if there are other alternatives.

Hi, khaytsus. Thanks for your advice, they say "it can be viewed via streaming and on a computer only" and thats it.
I was just wondering if anyone would have any ideas around it. I'll try edit my thread and move it to a more appropriate place..

In situations like this, I find it easier to just use something like splashtop and connect to your computer.

Android 5.1.x care package for Cuba

Greetings fine folks of the S3 Mini forum!
I first broached this idea in the OmniROM 5.1.1 thread - I just got back from Cuba having met some folks out there who are pretty keen to get their hands on the latest Android goodness, but are completely unable to as:
there is essentially no residential internet in Cuba
there is no cellular internet
the WiFi you can find in tourist hotels/town telecoms offices cuts in and out preventing downloads of any size
Many Google services don't work due to the embargo
Currently apks are shared phone-to-phone using Zapya over Bluetooth and WiFi hotspotting. To give these guys something to play with, I am planning on sending an SD card over - an Android 'care package' - including:
Everything needed to flash custom ROMs (USB drivers, ODIN, minimal fastboot/adb)
A couple of custom ROMs (CM12.1 and OmniROM?)
Comprehensive flashing instructions (using Odin and not) for the S3 Mini (translated into Spanish ideally)
GApps (5.1.x) - 'Mini' if the phone can take it
Useful .apks/binaries e.g. Camera, Cardboard (I took one over, it was a big hit!), SuperSU...
Anything else useful to get them started playing with Lollipop
I'm currently working in a Google Doc collecting where these things can be downloaded and starting to find flashing instructions - which is where you guys come in. Although I found the S3 Mini to be relatively popular in Cuba, I don't own one so I can't test this stuff myself. If anyone would like to contribute to this project, I'd really appreciate it. It won't require too much work - but some sanity checking would be appreciated. You can find the Google Doc here. If you do make any changes, please use 'Suggesting' mode or coloured text
If you have any suggestions for things I should be including other than what's above and in the document, please add it or let me know. I'll update this thread once I've got some instructions done to be checked.
Thanks!

Regarding the flashing instructions, I don't know if this can help you, though it's in English.

Since the the guide mentioned above is mine, i would like to know if it is the final choice.

Why not set up a mesh network? If you could get enough devices running it, You could in concept make your own internet.
I'm not from Cuba, (live in south Florida) but I can probably help out.
