[Q] dropbox - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey,
just a quick question: is here a possibility to set the dropbox app that it automaticly downloads a folder to my n7? because i need access to the folder and don't always have a wifi connection.
or is there an app which does exactly that?
thanks!

Do you have tethering on your phone? This is the way I always connect my N7 and have access to my drop box. I use the thetering app on my rooted HTC EVO3D and I'm able to do what ever I want online on my N7.

I have, yes. But some files are 20+ MB, which is quite a lot to download...

You will definately will need wifi to download that big file. Sometimes on thetering will take you long for some big files. I would look into getting an OTG plug and pretty much have that file on a flash drive and just browse as you may like.

Dropsync from the play store is what u need.
There are other alternatives but this works best.

Thanks! Works like a charm!

Titanium Media Sync would also be a good alternative

and once we are here: is there such a thing for google drive as well?

foldersync
heard it works well

I'd imagine using automateit or tasker to hook up to dropbox when on Wi-Fi automatically but not sure if u can go further and automatic ally pull folder.
Don't forget about Bluetooth...it's awesome if not better than Wi-Fi for both tethering and transferring files.
Titanium media sync can also do it over lan.
Yes there are many ways now that i think of it

Download files from home PC

It's great that I can use something like Teamviewer or Connectbot to connect to my home PC and download a file (onto the PC) remotely, from anywhere in the world using my fast and (practically) unlimited home broadband.
What I'd like to then do is download that file onto my Nexus 7. And occasionally upload files. However, neither Connectbot nor Android Terminal Emulator have scp built in and, while Teamviewer claim that their latest version has the ability to transfer files, it hasn't appeared on the Play Store yet.
Does anyone know of any other relatively simple solution to this problem? By simple I mean that I don't want to set up the PC as an ftp server. The home PC runs Kubuntu 12.04, by the way.

AirDroid won't work over the Internet, only on a local LAN. Or, at least, it won't work from the free WiFi access points that I use.

Thanks for the suggestion. There are surprisingly few. But now I've had time to check them out I've found VX Connectbot which adds file upload and download plus other features to the original Connectbot.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure out how to use SCP on VX Connectbot? It's surprisingly not documented well on the Net, on its homepage or on Github. This thread came up on Page 2 of a Google search!
No, I didn't get that far. I found that TeamViewer fitted my specific use case.

Don't install Demo.apk

Hey my friends,
Played around with my one and found a file named "Demo.apk" and installed it.. Watched the fancy movie.. and I just realized that all my apps are gone..
So be carefull..
Greetings from Germany
Gesendet von meinem HTC One
lol
What was the video like?
Bit strange how your apps have gone? Can you enlighten, is it all apps? Or Play Store Apps, or HTC Apps .. .. if HTC Apps a hard reset may bring them back?
Now you said this will be interesting to see how many people try it for themselves. . . lol
Could it be the demo video for in-store display?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I added a warning in the app section long ago,I installed it on my OneX and it erased both messages and phonebook to replace them with fake ones
So where does this demo.apk come from? Did you download it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The file is stored in /system/demoflo/
And was allready on my phone.
It was some introducing to the phone, with following links/information to the HTC zoe, boom and stuff..
All Apps, installed with the store AND manual installed with apk are gone, also messages.. and there were fake contacts and apointments in Phonebook and Calendar..

Are the apps also gone after restarting the phone?
jepp, all apps are gone even after a restart..
Can the apk be deleted? I'd hate to accidentally install it! What were HTC thinking?! Is that path only accessible with root?
No root here, and not possible to delete it :/
Gesendet von meinem HTC One
So it's a handy app to use to display the phone in stores. Users could go out of their mind, install apps and rerunning the app would clear the phone.
Just to make sure. It didn't remove the original apps that came with your phone right? So, just do a factory reset and set up your accounts again. Good luck and thanks for the tip.... (Although I have an almighty urge to run that app now lol)
LOL
i did this after a couple of days of getting my ONE just how i like it..
i wasnt too pleased but hey if your gonna go digging expect to fall into a hole now and again.. LOL
HTC have a mini website about this file giving shop staff a kind of prep talk "your perfect pitch is just a few steps away"
i wont do this again..

What is your Rom version?
I had done this as well, two days after I got the phone, you can only get to the demo.apk by using a file explorer that lets you get to the root of the file system, rootexploer does this by default and esfile explorer can be set to go up to root.
For anyone that has done this have you noticed the phone randomly resetting itself and the WiFi crashing (won't connect to access points and wifi setting are unresponsive) requiring a reset to re enable it? My phone is doing this and I'm not sure if I have a faulty phone or if its because I powered the phone down when I noticed it complaining about too many calendar deletes at once as the demo app was running.

I think that Demo is for shop demo purpose. It will delete some app and play some random video and delete lots profile. E.g Contact, message thread. The only way to recover is to do Factory reset
Hmmm just wondering why did you even install the app located in the system partition? lol Just makes me wonder I haven't really encountered someone who installs apk inside the system partition
Demo sucks except you want to test the game so badly. haha

Control Your Note 10.1 From Your PC - Including Using S Note

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

Here's a DB link to the skin files that are installed on my PC. They aren't labeled by device but one of the five is for the Note 10.1. Good luck.

WOW!! Great find!!
This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

You need to be rooted for it to work

Greenify works for non rooted phones as well. Just not automatically, you have to manually hibernate each app, also rehibernate after opening an app. There's a setting on the phone to choose and make it easier to do.
EDIT:.. Settings >accessories >greenify

You don't need root.
You can also use automatic hibernate!!!
With root, you will have more options.

Installing will mute voice feedback in s-voice and your calculator will talk to you on every input

you can use automatic configuration without using passcode or finger scanner for your lockscreen, once you close your phone it will automatically click the apps you configure without pressing the app.

Got greenify on my new note 4 rooted but the apps dont show up at greenify to hibernate.. have a s4 and the apps like facebook and so on are there to choose hibernate or not.. but in the note 4 this doesnt happen , can you guys help?
I used greenifly ..but found no difference in battery life .
In fact, I tried it twice as the reviews are excellent.
There's many debates as to whether or not these apps help battery or not.. Some forums claim that it constantly has to work to close and stop apps running ? therefor does more harm than good ..my phone ? is not rooted
In my s4 it does a good work at the battery...but now in my note 4 it doesnt shiw all the apps like facebook and other social battery leechers.. don't know why because there are users that claim that they are using fine and working good with greenify.

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.

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.
