            google it and download it on pc and then in app store, its a free online facility to store all your pics or documents etc! you can make them public so others can sign in and see your pics.

            no matter what pc ur at anywhere in the world all your stuff is there, you can upload pics straight from ur mobile to it, its brill!!

            i have put all my pics there so if anything happens to pc at least i know my pics are safe there!!

                  Get SwiFTP from the market
                  Open the SwiFTP and start it. Look for the address on WiFi URL: and remember it...

                  Open File Explorer on your PC, right-click on My Computer and select Map network drive...

                  In the Map network drive dialog box, click on "Connect to a Web site...bla bla bla..." and click Next...

                  Until you see it ask you to "Choose a custom network location", highlight it and click "Next"...

                  On the dialog where it asked to type in a network address, type in the WiFi URL from SwiFTP (add in /sdcard/ to easily start in your device's sdcard) and click "Next"...

                  In between, if it ask whether to log in as anonymous, you can key in your username as you've put into the SwiFTP.

                  On this dialog, you can give a name to your device. This will appear on your PC's File Explorer..

                  Click "Next" and when you're done, click "Finish"...

                  Now, when ever you want to access your device wireless-ly, just click on it from your File Explorer and key in your password when prompted...
                  Props for this one!!

                    Can anyone recommend a good app for recording phone calls. Have a couple of interviews to conduct this week and wanted to record them.

                    Cheers.

                      My phone used to alert me when I recieved an email, and used to alert me when I recieved a twitter notification. Now it does neither and i have to manually use both apps to check them. Any idea how I can fix it? Samsung Galaxy S2 btw. Cheers.

                          I lost my phone (Galaxy S) about a mth back .
                          Think i might have spotted it in somebody elses possession . I had a sneaky check on the phone to see if any of my numbers or apps were still there but the phone looks as if it was wiped clean .
                          Is there any other way that i or my provider can check or trace if its mine .

                            IMEI number
                            get the phone and type *# 0 6 # into it.
                            People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

                              If i gave VFone this persons no. would they be able to tell if it was my phone by the imei no.
                              Should i have a record of the imei number somewhere?

                                you should have the imei on the bill/box it came in
                                No I dont think VF would get involved on that level (i could be wrong I dont work mobile)

                                  Anyway to purchase apps without giving credit card info, even using someone elses Google Checkout account?

                                    Not sure if you can do it without a credit card, but if you download the app 4shared and search for what you want with .apk at the end of it, you can get most apps for free. Might not be strictly legal though.

                                    I put my credit card details in the app store when I first got my phone and as far as I can see there's no way to delete them.. Had my 3 year old son buying apps all over the place before I realized you could pin protect it! Had to delete a smurfs game I downloaded for him cos there was an option to buy $99 worth of smurfberries!! I think I would have cried if he bought them.

                                      I can buy a galaxy s that is blocked to do me until i get sorted with the insurance company ( they are giving me hassle ).
                                      The seller tells me i can get the imei number changed so it will work .
                                      Is this true and if so who does it .

                                        Damo by blocked do you mean 'blacklisted' as in an insurance job?

                                        If yes then just call the network and tell them you have a phone that you previously lost but have now found and you want it 'un-blacklisted'

                                        Don't think it's possible to get the IMEI number changed.

                                            Is the ePad 72 an Android tablet?
                                            Does it have the Google Marketplace available on it?

                                            If yes the all these apps are available on the device...

                                              It's possible to change the imei but good luck finding someone who will do it as you can get up to 5 years in prison for it

                                                Long story short

                                                Lost phone thurs 27th oct , Called VF the nxt day to report it lost .
                                                The CS rep tried to connect me to to VF insurance but couldnt get thru so gave me the number to try . I tried to call them for 4 days and eventually got them on tues 1st nov .
                                                The rep explained to me that they were closed due to the bank hols , took my details and told me there was a 48 hr waiting period (fine by me )

                                                Called them on thurs 3rd and they said everthing looked fine but i would have to pay an outstanding balance of €81 before they could proceed with my claim .
                                                Done that and called them back to be told i would have to ring CS to get the handset barred .
                                                Done that and was told i would have a phone in the post by the following tues. By the wed i had no phone so i called them to find out where my phone was and they told me my claim was declined because i had not reported it lost strait away and i didnt get it barred until a wk later .

                                                Since then they have also cancelled my ins policy .

                                                In short VF ins are cunts and VF themselves are useless cunts .

                                                Advice to anyone is dont bother taking out insurance , its worthless .

                                                    So it's gone to the insurance ombudsman now , hopefully they can get somewhere for me .

                                                      It's in their interest to sort it once you bring it to a public forum

                                                        Can anyone recommend an app to save web articles to read later?

                                                        Perhaps one that would work with my chrome browser as well, ie articles I save on my phone I can look on computer and vice versa. Happy to pay for one if it's the best option.

                                                        Any help appreciated.

                                                            plays every file that i have tried!

                                                              I tried to open up a training vid on a site using my HTC and it asked me to download Microsoft Silverlight. The only download options it gave me were for Windows or Mac, and not Android so it didn't work.

                                                              Is there a way to download it, or if i have something else downloaded in it's place, will it just use that to open it instead?

                                                              Will try Michelle's link below if that's the case.

                                                                    I recently put some new numbers in my phone... I got a message today from someone and the number wasn't known but when I opened the message it was from someone in my phone book and we had sent several previous messages which are all there.. But for some reason it is not associating the name with the number... most older numbers seems to work but it's definitely not picking up the numbers when these people call either..

                                                                    any ideas?

I also deleted a number from my phonebook/facebook etc and it came through as the number/name. My brothers number is a torture. I've tried deleting it (as above), entering it as 086, 00353 but i still can't reply to a message he sends me. It's just a buggy buggy system imo

They process the website on their server before they send it to your phone, that might process the silverlight video. I know it used to work with windows mobile phones that didnt natively support flash video years ago

I rang my phone 20 minutes or so after I realised it was stolen & it went straight to voicemail it had a sim and screenlock doubtful they got to any of my info, but the person would have access to the memory card, nothing bad on it just pics I would of liked to keep of my family/friends is there anyway to protect the SD card from future accidents.

I rang my phone 20 minutes or so after I realised it was stolen & it went straight to voicemail it had a sim and screenlock doubtful they got to any of my info, but the person would have access to the memory card, nothing bad on it just pics I would of liked to keep of my family/friends is there anyway to protect the SD card from future accidents.

                                                                                                    Apps like THIS or THIS any input greatly appreciated.

That would have been so handy to have had the other one on the day, although you'd nearly need a backup phone to track the GPS signals on the stolen phone?

Good chance you can do similiar if so.
