HTC Incredible :: Accessing Shared Folder On Dinc
Aug 4, 2010
Is there any way to set either a folder on my Dinc as a shared drive or see a shared folder from my Dinc.A lot of times I like to transfer videos or pictures from my Dinc to my laptop or move an apk from my laptop to my SD card and I hate having to dig out a cable to make the transfer. would be nice if I could move files just through wifi. I'm not really digging Dropbox either. Don't like to have my personal files floating around on another server.

I need to access the shared preference in a background service instead of activity on phone boot up.But getSharedPreferences function is define in the activity, so how can i access the data without creating the activity?

When you establish a shared preference such as below.
public static final String PREFS_HI = "MyPrefsFile";
Can you access it from other activities just like you would normally do?
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_HI, 0);
Or is there something unique that you must do to access the preferences?

I have some information stored as SharedPreferences. I need to access that information from outsite an Activity (in from a domain model class). So I created a static method in an Activity which I only use to get the shared preferences. This is giving me some problems, since apparently it is not possible to call the method "getSharedPreferences" from a static method. Here's the message eclipse is giving me:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method
getSharedPreferences(String, int) from the type ContextWrapper
I tried to work around this by using an Activity instance, like this:
public static SharedPreferences getSharedPreferences () {
Activity act = new Activity();
return act.getSharedPreferences("FILE", 0);
}
This code gives a null point exception. Is there a work-around? Am I going into an android-code-smell by trying to do this?

I have some shared preferences (user_id, email) that I want to access from services and classes that are not subclassed from Activity. I have been trying to implement this today and keep hitting roadblocks. In particular, when I try to access getSharedPreferences, I get a null pointer exception. My code is posted below. My goal here is to allow read access the shared preferences to objects and (potentially) services that aren't going to be directly exposed to the user.
<snip> public class MyPrefs extends Service {
public static final String PREFS_NAME = "MyPrefs";
private int user_id;
private String user_email;
private String user_password;
private Editor editor = null;
private SharedPreferences settings = null;
public MyPrefs () {
settings = this.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
}
</snip>
this.getSharedPreferences line causes a null pointer exception.

So my Dinc which I bought on launch day blew the front speaker yesterday. I called Verizon and they are shipping me a brand new Dinc out today. My question is, I have already rooted my phone and installed like 50 apps on it with tons of other crap, settings, data, etc. I have made multiple nandroid backups and titanium backups. Can I just save the backups on my SD card then get my hands on the new Dinc, root that one as well then use my backups on the SD card to just load everything on to the new phone so I don't have to go through the process of re-setting up my entire phone again?

Im wondering if there is an app or anyway to set a shared folder on the Evo's SD card that can be seen over wifi to drop files in? I have dropbox and IO Filemanager but that's a lot of clicking to move stuff out of the dropbox. I was hoping someone knew of an app that would setup a share over wifi.

A Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is connect to a shared network drive located on the network it's connected to (eg \sharefoldersharesofficeshares) I open a file from the shared folder, like a word or excel document, and make some changes. Here comes the challenge: When I save the file, it does not save back to the shared folder but only locally on the tablet. That means that if I go to a computer on the same network, connected to the folder and open the file I just edited on the tablet; No changes has been made
The problem is that I have yet to find a android word/excel processor that has the option to save on a network drive.
The only solution without an app with the option stated above is to somehow syncronize the android folder where the edited file is saved. Unfortunately that requires some actions that I would not like to teach the non-IT personal who uses the tablet.

Got an Android phone (HTC Desire 2 years old) but now I have splashed out on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Now on my home computer I have a shared folder with all our digital photos. what I want to do is access these photos on the Note and view them as a slideshow. A second computer (with Picasa) can access these pictures over the home network and run a slideshow. I want something similar on the Note - is this possible? I know i can access network drives with, for example, ES File Explorer, but how can I view the photos in a folder (and subfolders) as a slideshow?

I would like to find an automated way of getting my dolphin bookmarks into a folder that I can access from the homescreen. I know how I could do this manually but would like to find an automated way so that I can always keep them in sync, does anyone know of one? I was wondering if there's a location on the filesystem where dolphin stores all the bookmarks, I did look but couldn't find one. It would just be nice to be able to click a bookmark and have the browser open at that page rather than open the browser, go to bookmarks and then find and open the particular bookmark.

I'm using Android 4.2.1 on Galaxy note 10.1. I am travelling and photographing and have 64 folders and 6gbs of pics on a 64*gb*sd card. The last two attempts to transfer images from my camera via USB have all failed with various weirdness, like seeing the pics in folder with Gallery app once, only to have the folder completely disappear on next viewing. I have lost over 800 photos like this and I can' t find anything about a folder limit in android but see lots of similar posts with sd card problems. All fine up until I hit that limit, now my whole image recording process while traveling appears to be unreliable. Is it possible the pics are there but not viewable somehow?

I am just not impressed with paying $90+ for service. I loved my old lifedrive (Palm). I don't mind having separate devices. I have plenty of wifi.

I've had three people so far tell me that the Dinc will be able to use a 4g connection when VZW upgrades the network (including one iPhone user who said that was one reason he was jealous of me), but I can't find much info one way or the other. Anyone on here know for sure?

The battery in the Magellan in my car died and I didn't have a charger with me. So I pressed my DInc into service as a GPS unit. I must admit it performed remarkably well. The user interface on it wasn't as smooth as the Magellan, but the Magellan is designed to function as a GPS and only a GPS and the DInc isn't. The only problem I had with it is I couldn't see the screen as the screen was washed out in the sunlight. Is there any way to combat this? How can I use this as a GPS replacement if I can't see the screen?

So I finallly talked the wife into a DINC from her old Samsung slider. I let her play with mine a bit (my PHONE! get your mind out of the gutter) and she went monday and ordered it from our local Verizon store. FedEx left a call tag today and I'm about to run out to our local hub and pick it up for her (2 day delivery !) Anyhow - the CSR at the Verizon store said "when you get your phone - make an appointment with me and I'll activate for you". We're leaving tomorrow for a short trip - and I really don't feel like postponing it for a couple hours just to get a phone activated. Are we able to activate these ourselves? When I got mine - I left the store for an hour or two and when I came back I was all set to go.

My DINC seems to be overheating a lot lately. Checking System Panel I see temperatures as high as 109. The symptoms are as follows: when using to browse the internet, check Face book and do email, continually for 30+ minutes - temp 102 - charging on Verizon Auto Charger - temp 109 - GPS for 2-3 hours - temp 104. Have brought this to Verizon's attention 4 times. Each time it was noted, I was told that they could not recreate it. Finally, after it getting to the 109 temp, I called and was told take it in and tell the store to exchange it. So, my questions are: 1 - has anyone else seen temps like this? 2 - if they take the phone and exchange, I lose all my apps, correct? Is there any way for me to get them to the SD card prior? 3 - do I try to get a different phone altogether?

I've had my D1 since it's original launch. Love the phone and especially now that it's rooted. The problem is the slider is becoming loose. I'm going to get it replaced and am really considering the Dinc.I've found that I rarely use the slide out keyboard on the D1 because of the Swype keyboard love that thing.I'm looking for some insight on the Dinc and especially how it compares to the D1.How does Sense work? Does it slow down the phone? How has the update process gone so far? Anything else I need to know?

Please help, I am starting to get pissed off at this phone. I know there is a setting on the browser to turn off the mobile versions of internet web pages, but upchucking that box still doesn't do it. I still get mobile versions of web pages. I thought the Dinc/droids were similar to the iPhones in this regard about not being "a version of the internet" but the ACTUAL internet. Someone correct me where I'm wrong. I can't get the mobile version turned off no matter what I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

She wouldn't listen or budge at all either. Biggest thing she said was she gets less bars on it(along with all other HTC's) Tried to tell her about looking at the signal instead of bars, and how I was reading it doesn't show full signal when not in use to save the battery or whatever. But noooo... the moto is still better hands down..
Got frustrated and left cause there were no Inc's in stock anyways, and she kept trying to sell me on the moto, even though I said I don't want it.
Have checked all the best buys, and Vzw stores around me. Closest one with them in stock is in Alabama-- 109 miles away.
Now I just cant decide if I should wait to see if one of the places get them in stock soon (people are saying some BB's are still getting them in.) or just bite the bullet and order it online.
