Media share questions - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys first time posting in the Note II forum! I am so excited to have this phone and appreciate all the work you developers have and will be putting into this phone to make it so much better!
That being I am in need of some assistance from some of you gurus....
My girlfriend and I both have the note II, and my parents have the S3.
I have a 2TB hard drive full of music, and movies. I set up allshare on my phone and I can see it all but I also can see everything else on my computer such as everything in my c: and webpage images for all the websites I build and videos and music for banners and such I make and lastly my personal porn jk but not really.
So I set up allshare and.................. I have like 3000 images from all my templates and banners, etc.
So I am looking for assistance with allshare for not allowing the c: to be shown or how to enable or disable certain folders to show on the phones via allshare. If allshare cant do this or you guys maybe have a better solution let me know I tried skifta and it doesnt work because my laptop wont let me leave the freaking homegroup and I have tried everything on the internet to get out of the homegroup (different problem, different forum) I tried serviio but cannot get serviigo on the phone to see serviio because I cannot open my port 23424 for some reason in which I am trying to contact Bob from India to help me (I wish they would use there real names) but they are closed until Monday.
So any apps or recommendations would be great! I wish I could download an app on my comp. and phone and add certain folders to share to the phone and BAM! it all works perfect!
Willing to donate some BEER/GAS money for help guys!

Email and flash?

Hello all,
I'm a noob in winmo and smart phones. Didn't want a smart phone until the start of the year where my business started to get busy. I needed to respond to clients sooner even when I'm on the road. I did not want to get an iphone as I did not want to be just another guy who has it. lol.
I almost bought a palm pre but did not like the keyboard I looked at nokia smart phones but didn't like it either. I then saw the TP2's keyboard and fell inlove with it.
Not knowing what winmo is but I was set to get this phone. I am so glad I waited for this phone because it passed my expectations and the fact that I found this website (checking it everyday now), this phone will do what I need it to do and entertain me (tweaks) for quite some time.
Anyway, that is my intro. I have questions regarding email and flash using IE.
I have 2 email accounts setup on my phone. My first account (gmail) doesn't have an email at all. I received couple of emails 2 days ago and I'm surprised to see that its not there anymore. My wife's iphone can see all the messages in the gmail server even the sent mails. Is there a way to have that same setup on our phones?
And lastly, my understanding is that IE has flash support, however when I was looking at a website that has a flash video, all I see is the flash icon with "9". Can someone steer me to the right direction?
I know this is quite long but thank you very much for your time. I am really enjoying my first ever smart phone, winmo and this awesome website. I hope I can contribute to this site in the near future

Thank you very much for the email settings and thank you for the link.. That's really what I wanted, something to read and understand it on my own.
Have a good one.

WillardZ:
Thanks again for the link.. I realized that I've already read the page page that you linked, so did you mean that I need to flash my stock rom and use another install another rom to have the ability to view flash websites?
I am actually trying to wait for this guy to make a bloatware remover on Tilt2 before messing with other ROMs (as much as I want my phone to be very fast)
Thanks

Have you tried using Opera Mobile instead of IE on the site? I find that that Opera usually plays flash videos better than IE, even though they use the same flash plugin. For example, YouTube plays fine on Opera, but shows the 9 in place of a video on IE.
As for the page previously linked to by WillardZ, I think he thought you were talking about flashing ROMs. There is no requirement I am aware of to flash a new ROM for browser flash support, unless there is no flash at all included in your ROM (not the case here), in which case you could flash to one that does. I hope that clarifies it for you.
DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Thank you very much for clarifying that.. I tried using opera mobile on www.videosbyccp.com The main page has flash video and I can't even see the flash icon, its completely blank..
I'm going to try to download skyfire and I hope that works..
Thank you once again..
niM
Dave or anyone,
You said you can view youtube videos no problem using opera. However, mine says ..
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Download flash player"
I checked my opera setting and javascript is checked the whole time. So obviously some of my settings are different from yours and I hope you or anyone would like to help me.
I installed skyfire, although my wife can play farmville (very laggy), I'm hating the crappy display..
Thank you very much.

Thread necromancy is a no-no. You can't view Youtube content from within Opera Mobile.

Nobody has a clue as to what you are using as far as a setup goes. That may help you to get some answers.
Also, try being a little more descriptive as to what is happening.
More explination,more feed back?
thanks..and as far as setups go.... I am not running any modifications, roms, roots, flashing or whatever other tricks that most are. My sprint samsung galaxy s epic4g sph-d700 is moified no different than the day I purchased it. 100% factory settings, not even an ota upgrade done. As far as what's happening, the music player/ers don't seem to remember some 200 tracks I've been playing since I found my mp3 download capabilities. No files exsist, even after I play them from the file, in which they only exist, through the players their instantly gone once I close the player, although they still remain in the original file they were downloaded to. The media, movie, player is doing the same with the handfull of movies I've installed. My movie player was full , like music players were, yesterday, now "no files exist", says the according app. To add all of my camera pics and image downloads are wiped clean from the gallery. If I snap a new pic it will show up in the gallery, until I close it. When I return their gone, but again still exist in its folder. I don't get it and need a bit of advise on my next move to fix. Thanks people. I hope I've explained my issue good enough for diagnosis.

Download quickpic from the market and try that. May be a problem with your Gallery app.
Rite on... Will try.

Google Music Beta on tp2

Hello everyone, I'm a total noob here, and I have been searching my butt off trying to figure out how to try and get the music beta app working on the TP2. I am running froyo7. It seems that in my build. android market thinks that my phone is a Mid-Tex Cellular, when I am actually a sprint customer. Now before anyone say "search" I have I have been reading up how to edit my build.prop, watching youtube videos on how to as well, with a lot of google searching on the side. I am getting most of my info for different phones and don't know if these codes will work.
In my search the closest that I found was this quote from this thread...
"When using this ROM my device shows up as "Mid-Tex Cellular" on the Android Market.
Is there any way to change this?
..............................................
change the line in build.prop that is closest to this to this:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google-us
it should have come as this out of the box
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us"
When I look in my build.prop I can't find anything close to this?
A little help for a worthless noob would be awesome.
Well first I would simply try adding that line to your build.prop. Just because it isn't there doesn't mean you can't add it .
As for Google Music, I am a member of the service but haven't messed with the app on my phone. Only listened to it on the webUI. I guess I need to try on my phone .
Edit - did you just try installing the apk directly? Seems like a much easier solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655
Edit 2 - just installed that apk myself, works fine. For some odd reason I can only get it to show local music tho, I don't see any of my music that's "in the cloud"... hum.

hey,
check whether your google account sync in settings is syncing to google music. also for me, I had to restart my phone to get the app to realize that my google account had music beta.

I checked the sync settings, that was my first thought.
I'm leaning towards your second suggestion, since I haven't rebooted since installing it. Thanks for the suggestions.
I also had to do some crafty work clearing caches and such to get it to pick up my online account

i went into the application manager too in setting and cleared the data for the application too.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I searched like crazy for music beta, and never came up with that thread... I am going to try it as soon as my lazy phone decides it wants to work. LOL
This is what I am talking about with the Mid-Tex Cellular, I have gone to the web site, the market etc... and it wont allow it to install. So this is why I was thinking about changing the build.prop, but I don't exactly know how to... I have searched, but I don't know if I can just add some random code from my first post and have it work?

Fine! Be that way... Now I don't need to because it seems to be working perfectly. The sound out of the headphones is great, but the external speaker is really quiet. All in all, God I love android! Thank you everyone.

Allshare just works on the local network. Allshare Play registers you through the internet and connects with all devices registered always which I assume means always connected because the services are running always.
I prefer simply allshare as it keeps access to my device local to just my home network. Using allshare play gives a third party "Samsung" complete access to my device or registered devices anytime which I'm not really cool with. Just 2 cents from a member of the 1st tinfoil brigade =)
Edit: Oops I didn't answer your question. So to get Allshare Play devices to all see each other you actually have to register them using the Samsung Allshare website. Login to your account, ect ect... there's a demo to show you what to do on it.
it looks like DLNA/Allshare is integrated with the phone. To access other devices media, open either Gallery or VideoPlayer and access nearby devices. Other DLNA devices should show up.
I have a Tab 8.9 and S3.
On the Tab, in AllShare, under settings you should see the device name for the Tab as a media server. You can select which content you share. In the main window you should see a list of local devices, including My Device and, presumably your S3.
On your S3, in AllShare Play, use the menu button and select nearby devices. Your Tab should show up in the list.

Ian

[Q] Looking For A File Sharing Solution

I'm trying to get better about keeping my money balanced, I've got an Excel spreadsheet that's serving me well, I've got it in my Dropbox so I can access it anywhere. The KEY is to enter transactions as soon as they happen, as soon as you buy something write it down. Well most times that's on my cell phone. Is there a solution that I could share a spreadsheet/DB style document between my phone and my computer so I didn't have to transfer the data from my phone to the computer? I know I can kinda do that with Dropbox, but it's tricky and time consuming with an Excel doc. I need something fast and smooth, ideas?

I use Box for stuff like that. It is pretty easy to use.
Have you tried Google drive? I have not used it for this but its a feature they advertise.
You could setup an FTP server. Has always worked for me.
Same general idea as Drop Box but is faster to work with.
This is a more advanced solution.
