Dude, you're the man!

Free or $ 29 ??

Yes I actually got in on the deal.

Thanks for the tip OP.
I got it on the action as well.
Although not really sure if/how I am going to use it, since they don't offer a client for linux and I already have a Subsonic server set up for my music streaming needs, but it's good to have options and even better if they are free.

I wondered that too
I think it was trying to say 'worth $29'

thanks alot of the info. i was just looking at logmein and dropbox the other day and was thinking about it, but this is a sweet deal. i don't know if it's the same kind of service. but i think it's better for me to have access to my entire computer, then have to upload it to dropbox, and logmein seems more to just viewing and sharing screen content. so this seem like a great idea. thanks alot OP..

I got one so may have to set it up and see what happens!

On their website there is a Pogoplug hard drive. Is that a good thing to buy for this?

>On their website there is a Pogoplug hard drive. Is that a good thing to buy for this?
Pogoplug used to be a hardware/software product. It's morphed to a software app that can be installed on your PC. It is a file/media sharing solution that can be accessed across the net, or within your home network. The diff with DropBox is that you're the host, so you have unlimited storage, but are limited by your broadband upload speed.
The free version can't stream movies. For that, there is the premium version ($29). The above offer is for a free license to said premium version. You can of course buy their hardware, but there is no reason to.
Let me know when the offer is dead, and I'll amend the OP.

the party is over. my co-worker just try getting a license, and they have reach the cap. but they are offering $10 off, so yoy can still get in on the action for $20. but nothing is better then FREE..so thanks again.
by the way those who already have a license, you can download this to as many computers as you want. using the same License code, AS LONG AS IT IS UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT. in other words, you can put it on your mac, on your pc, on your job computer, on your girlfriend pc or mac, as long as they all log in under your same email you use to sign up. the only down part to this is it has to either be your computer or someone you trust, becasue they will have access to all the files on every computer that you are sharing.
so as long as you keep your porn collection out of the share folder, you can have you wife log in under your account. lol

Revue from Smith Micro Software Incredible

Hi!
I have just seen this amazing program.
http://www.smithmicro.com/default.tpl?group=product_full&sku=QLMCWXX
To see photo, video and play music.
Bad news, we have to pay if we want to see it.
I am searching but...no free?
Do you like??
I want it!! free, of course.
$30? LOL
I'll wait until someone on this site codes a clone for free.
Nice stuff though.... but not nice enough to shell out $30.
well, you should brake into a car or someone's house and steal their phones. maybe someone has it on their device....
...so stupid.

It is pretty stupid that they don't offer a free trial download to try it out. I'm definitely not going to pay $30 for something that I don't even know what it's like. No thank you.

Maybe its because they don't want people to rip off their product without paying for it.

i don't know about this "revue software" and the description of what it does is not very clear to me, but i have tested another tool that does the same thing (i suppose. i'm french so my english is not perfect) named trakax on a htc vox and it seemed fairly good for a slow device (200 cpu) and non-tactile.
it should be very cool on a decent pdaphone with good cpu.
go here : http://www.trakax.com/software/mobile/
it costs 30 again, but you have a free demo to test it.

I agree, it may be difficult, but when you see someone asking for a copy of a retail piece of software on here, insisting they have it for free, (as if that's a right), then find a near identical request on a warez site asking for the crack for the same software, its not difficult to see where that activity would lead to if we all took that stance.
WB
I don't have a problem paying for the apps that we use on our devices and i'm willing to pay a whole helluva' lot more but we should @ least have the trial option to see if it's worth it or even if its compatible with our devices. Most developers give you that trial because they stand by their product and they know it'll sell itself once the word gets out, so maybe them not giving a trial offer says something about their product. Just my opinion.
I've done trials of and loved:
Resco Exlorer
Memmaid
AEButton
Ultimate Launcher
Vito Screen Capture
Phone Weaver
...And paid for:
Resco
Memaid
AEButton
UL
Vito
Phone Weaver
It wouldn't even occur to me to use a cracked copy. Weird since I've used warez for some windows PC software, but being on a forum like this you see how the programmers are good people, just like me (only smarter) and it puts a face to the theft and I wouldn't consider doing it. Now I don't do cracked stuff for PC software either. I guess its part of growing up.
Anyway, I think there are a lot of ppl like me that if they like a trial they will be HAPPY to buy it.
I have just found this video!
Hi
I found a video of Revue.
It seems to be fantastic even with an application to manage the files with the PC!
http://my.smithmicro.com/wireless/revue/Revue324_121807_OffLn.wmv
I want to test this program for my HTC Touch, but I can´t download it from anywhere.
Anyone has this program?
Can you tell me if it is fast and useful?
Anyone knows where can I download Revue?
Thank YOU ALL
I just took a quick glance at the site you listed and looks like something I used to use on my Palm, I think you can use this for free, don't completely remember, but know I never paid for it. I remember now, you have to keep your pc online and you can access it for free, think that was the deal, and you had to pay to store your files online to access them while your pc was offline.
Anyway to the point its Avvenu, check it out.
Log Me In may be the same.
Caragato!!
Please NOT SPAM HERE!!!
So is this basically streaming media from your computer but with lots of organization options?
How is it not like Orb?
It is a finger friendly software just like iphone to see media on our pocketpc.

$50 Media Hub credit for those who ordered prior to 10/31!!!

I confirm that it works.
Mediahub blows. I tried it once and bought a Tosh.O episode and midway through the encoding on the video was jacked up. Picture went unviewable and the player stopped. I was forced to hunt and peck on the timeline to resume after the botched section of the video.
Never touched it again after that. Besides, content is overpriced.

This simply confirms my theory that you can give every body gold bars and some people will still complain that they didn't get silver or platinum.
I have my code and it's a nice way to get folks to try out the features. Perfect for a plane ride, or better yet, a delay.
Thank you OP. I was a little pissed that I couldn't get my $50 when I heard about this promotion. I don't care if the content is crappy, it should pass by slow nights on IT call.
Good luck with mediahub, folks.
With bittorrent, any price above $0 for broadcast entertainment is overpriced, to me. I get all -- 100% -- of my TV via bittorrent downloads, and virtually always available before anything shows on commercial pay-for-media methods.
Now, with bittorrent clients available for android itself, you can eliminate the step of having to first download to your PC, then transfer to your phone. Just as convenient as MediaHub.
In fact, even more so. Set up an RSS feed from EZTV, PBay, or other torrent aggregators, and you're phone will grab your favorite show as soon as the torrent is available -- again, usually within a few hours of airing.
Finally, with tasker you can set things up to only download when there is a wifi connection, saving you from on-air data charges.
That's how I've got all this set up -- I see no reason to use MediaHub at all.

I'll pay for media, though I am not against downloading somethings. But non the less cheap bastards DO ruin industries. "Oh its just me and my $10 bucks, they won't miss it" Eventually with enough people it adds up and they will miss it. Not to mention I personally know people who have had homes raided by FBI over stuff like that.

Ill have you know sir, that downloading TV shows online, through whatever medium, is not considered illegal filesharing. A judge ruled that sharing TV shows over the internet is the same as giving someone a VHS tape back in the day. It is not illegal and can be distributed anyway the people who record it please. Be it hard mediums or digital. Now, if one were to say download a DVD copy, THAT would be copyright infringement, but we are talking about downloading 0 day shows from EZTV - which is perfectly well within your right to do.

Movies on Xoom

Already, I was able to use Double twist to get my music off of iTunes and into my Xoom, that was pretty simple, and all is well.
I am going on vacation next Sunday, and I am going to need some movies to watch. Typically on my iPad, I can rent or buy a movie on iTunes and simply watch it.
I need to know the following:
1. Is there anyway to get protected movies off of iTunes and into the Xoom? I would rather not spend 10 hours ripping and burning a few movies.
2. What are my choices for movie download locations? Reliable, and virus free?
3. My experience with the Xoom has been a very positive one to this point, I just need a reliable and hopefully not a time consuming method to buy/rent movies, and/or a method to get movies already purchased from iTunes into the Xoom.
Thank you!!!
I don't know if this is the advice you are lookng for but you can always "barrow" movies from the internet via a torrent or download site like filestube. Although I haven't explored it yet, I believe amazon.com has some kind of video on demand service which would be comparable to iTunes video service I suppose. But until the xoom has flash support even that isn't an option. As far as the "barrowing" method originally mentioned, I wouldn't worry about viruses. The virus would have to be written for the android operating system and I dont think you will encounter that at this stage. This of course only applies if you are going to be downloading directly through three xoom. If you plan to use your PC first then transfer to the xoom, then I guess a little concern might be warranted, as always.
But the android market does have torrent apps, so direct downloads to the xoom is a viable option. Also torrent sites like btjunkie will have reviews/comments to give you an idea whether the file does what it says it should.
Also filestube can be used directly from the xoom. As far as finding good files, generally you want to look for results that have the movie name (or sometimes its abbreviation), the year it was made, "xvid", and that it its already in a watchable format i.e avi,mp4,etc.
These tend to almost always be bonafide files. Hope this helps.
Google really needs to get media support for their devices otherwise they will always border on the line of niche geek devices.
Op, I have been trying to answer your #1 question for many months...please share if you find a way to remove drm from iTunes movies!

I have used a torrent client on my Nook Color to download a ep of Fringe it played flawless. It was only TV HD on not 720p but looked excellent. I think it took 10 minutes for a 325 Mb file no computer needed at all. I used rock player to play it. I would expect the xoom to have no trouble doing this.
Not sure what format it uses, but the Amazon Video market has an option for downloading for use on portable devices. It does look like you would have to start the process on your computer and then transfer the files to the device, but it might be pretty easy.

Stripping the DRM is something I haven't seen yet, however, on other Android forums, I've seen the program Tunebite mentioned a couple of times.
It basically records the file while it is being played on your computer (similar to what "other" drm removal tools do, but supposedly, it accesses the file differently, enabling it to run faster.
I have no experience with it myself though. I tend to stay away from those kinds of files myself.
It sure seems like there's a golden opportunity here for Amazon to be the Android equivalent of iTunes for purchases of movies, TV shows and music.

Amazon video on demand works right from the XOOM's browser. I haven't been able to copy anything to the actual device from the service, but you can at least stream all your Amazon videos.
Why do they make it soo hard to download movies and video legally? I've had such a hard time with DRM and such, that I've had to resort to other methods to get my media on my portables. I hate this soo much, I have no problem paying for my content, but if it is harder to pay them for it, than it is to "borrow" it, then why oh why would I pay for it?

I am not sure, but here in the Netherlands downloading movies is legal. Uploading is not. At this moment usenet is a excellent source especially with Spotnet. Works like a charm after the authorities closed down FTD (database of this program was in the Netherlands, but was no longer considered legal). Spotnet however is new designed and has a database on usenet itself which is impossible to shutdown.
All movies, music, series can be found there in topnotch quality and downloading goes with 12MB (that is MegaByte per second), depending on your internet account ofcourse. We in the Netherlands have a maximum of 120Mbit at this moment.
Not sure if it will also works overseas, but you could give it a try.

Thinking about offering some space to mirror roms

I really hate these MegaCrap mirrors. So I thought I'd offer to mirror some EVO roms. Perhaps someone can give me an idea of how much bandwidth we'd be talking about per rom?
I have a hosting account with Bluehost with "unlimited" bandwidth and diskspace, though I've never tested them to see what their idea of what unlimited means. I'd be willing to provide mirror space, so long as we're not talking about several terabytes of bandwidth for each rom. The TOS requires that any downloaded files have a link on a webpage hosted on the server, but that should be easy to do.
I think I'd like to limit this to a couple of roms to start with, but PM me if you'd like to be the first to try it out. The files would be stored at http://roms.renoiphone.com, which is a tad ironic, but I have other domains as well if the irony is too much for you.
I have started doing this for some of our dev's here...alone on a few leaks and some WIP ports I have seen a total of 380GB of xfr since 5/1/11. - last month I started doing this for them on the 13th and it was well over 500GB of xfr. Just a heads up from what I have seen...and like he said..I am willing to host roms as well if he isnt available

Don't host anything popular... too many http connections and they'll shut you down. And it's going to be hella slow transfer rates (they don't make any guarantees about speed) that will be killed at about 10 minutes if the file isn't downloaded fast enough.
You're better off getting setup with someone like http://www.mediafire.com/
Just sayin'
EDIT: Check this out: http://www.dreamhost.com/unlimited.html -- Bluehost has almost an identical stance on everything, they just don't have a nice little article like that on their website; it's buried in their TOS.
Ryjabo that was a great explanation...even more amusing as I work for a webhosting company and we were just talking about the "unlimited" thing yesterday.

Actually, I'm fairly sure you're wrong. I read the ToS before signing up, and I just read it again. The only prohibition is on using the space as online backup:
Backup Storage. Bluehost.com offers its Services to host web sites, not to store data. Using an account as an online storage space for archiving electronic files is prohibited and will result in termination of hosting services without prior notice.​
Of course, you can't "overuse" the service (whatever that means), nor can you post porn, copyrighted material, engage in illegal activities, etc. But if you can find anything that says file sharing is against their ToS, you have a better eye than I do.
Also, my wife has her own Bluehost account that used to host a four-hour podcast every week. Even when it was the number one video gaming podcast in the UK, and hosting her files for iTunes download, we never had speed or throttle issues over the course of more than a year. Again, not 600 KB/sec, but...
I guess it depends you what you call "too popular" or "too many connections." I'm not saying you're wrong that this amount of traffic would cause them to throttle, but I am saying that they're not as bad as you're making them out to be.

The space they offer for web hosting is for exactly that: hosting a website. Take up too much space for anything outside of that and they can shut you off.
To be quite honest, I doubt enough people are going to use your mirrors (no offense) to cause any problems for you. I just thought, as someone who has had personal experience with these issues & Bluehost, I should let you know.
I have been shut down by unlimited web hosts for just this reason. The reality is that you need a dedicated server which is at least $100 a month. You might fly under the radar for a while, but in the end they will shut you down.

The applicable term to this thread would be "overselling" lol. In the world of hosting there are really three tiers of usertypes. The first is a multimillion/billion dollar company who builds, maintains, upkeeps, etc a huge, usually state-of-the-art building with security, advanced fire suppression systems and electric generator backups. The second kind of user is the much smaller company who leases rack space or sq footage from the building owner so they can keep servers there. They are subject to, and in turn, enforce a strict bandwidth policy. Then the third kind is the guy who leases servers on an individual basis, and finds customers who need to host a website. He can play god with his customers, so long they don't exceed the limits of the guy he's leasing it from.
Hosts (tier 3 in my little example above) know a very, very small percentage of their customers will ever meet the restrictions on their arbitrarily defined packages, so they (often times grossly) oversell a server. Imagine you buy a hosting package that includes 100 GB of monthly bandwidth. Now imagine 200 other people buy it. The box itself has a 2,000 GB monthly hard limit. How is that host able to allow 20,000 GB on a 2,000 GB server!? It's not magic. They know most users will only use, say, between 100 MB and 1 GB of what they paid for. So they sold 20,000 GB of bandwidth but will only actually use well under 2,000. This formula will work into infinity...so hosts cut to the chase and flat out offer unlimited hosting. Until someone comes along who actually *uses* the undefined and vague bandwidth they think they're paying for. Then they get the boot. The old "too good to be true" syndrome. It's just marketing.
This works the same way for storage space, too.
But to be fair, sometimes hosts can be extremely lenient, especially if you're on a vacant server. They've already paid for the bandwidth, someone might as well use it. But as more and more accounts on that server are added and vie for the limited amount of resources allotted to it that month, eventually you'll get squeezed out of the pool.
Anyway, you can get a lot cheaper than that if you get a VPS, and many actual boxes are well under $100/mo if you want something low-powered. Serving files isn't as resource intensive as something like massive database queries, so no fancy multicore systems are needed. When you look at the lowest end boxes, you'll see quite a few come with unmetered 10Mbps. However that usually does bump you above $100/mo if you're going the route of unmetered. You can calculate 10Mpbs(24*7*30) to get an actual figure of bandwidth available that month, but since you can never exceed it, it's easier to just think "as much data as it possibly can serve" while download speeds get more and more diluted.

Remote Desktop & Remote Android - Anroid

Hi all,
I have a weird requirement.
I have a Galaxy Note 4.
1. I installed gotomypc app and gotomypc software on my work laptop and my Galaxy Note 4 and I can browse my Home laptop when I'm outside.
Similarly, is there any app, which I can install on my Galaxy Note 4 and remote control my another Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone in my home?
I want to just do everything, like I do when I connect via gotomypc software to my laptop from my Phone or Work Laptop.
I don't mind paying monthly fee for this app, if there is a subscription fees. Just like for gotomypc, I pay $9.95/ Month.
Thank You for Your suggestions.

You can install a VNC client on your Note 4 and install this app on your S5. I haven't done this from one phone to another but it definitely works for me running a VNC client from my PC and remote controlling a phone. I used it to connect to my LG Optimus L9 many, many times. It's a one-time cost of $10.
Splash top, log me in, vnc, to name but a few.
Not too sure about phone to phone.
Phone to PC works, have no idea why you would want to control another phone unless it was to snoop, there are other apps out there for stuff like that, don't know if xda promotes stuff like that though
Actually Teamviewer is free for personal use

Is there any way that I can past the games.
I paid $10. But it asking me download some crap game and asking me to play that crap game.
I hate playing games.
Its pathetic that, even after paying the money, You cannot go forward in using the App, and You are forced to download some crap.
Obviously, filing a charge back with my Credit card company and they will take care of the rest. I will not loose my $10.
Are there any other alternatives.
MY REQUIREMENT IS TO CONNECT FROM ANDROID TO ANDROID.
Can You connect a Android to Android via Team Viewer???
I could not find that option.
Thank You all for the help.
I never tried that but.....

What game?? None of those apps come with a game, they're all distributed on the play store, as i said i'm not sure about phone to phone, there wouldn't be any need to do that unless you were spying on someone and as I've already said, I don't think XDA like people talking about that stuff.
