hi guys, im sure a lot, if not all of you have been in this situation.
your sent a youtube link on whatsapp or via text, and instead of watching it on your phone, you want to watch it on your tablet. But wait, the link's on your phone!!
is there an easy way to send the link to my nexus, like via an app? i know chrome can share open tabs, but still seems a bit too long winded.
at the moment, im copying the link and emailing it to myself which i open on my nexus :l
I'd you use Chrome sync it will do it automatically

Very easy to transfer a file with this.
apk please?
does it use bluetooth/wifi?
This sounds awesome. Wonder why no Canada, buggers. Please someone get us the .apk
Can't find it.

This is one cool app, i'm currently showing it off to my officemates
apk please! its not on my bell i9000m here in canada. thanks
Available in Australia. Installed. Now it wants me to install it on my pc as well. Transferring to PC. It will use WiFi. But still cool alternative to WiFiExplorer.
Installed. Works great. Cool Intelligent app. Transferred 83mb video from laptop to galaxy in less than 3mins. Transferred a photo from galaxy to laptop in 1 sec.
Samsung does look aftr the Galaxy users.
I got it a day after I went from Eclair to Froyo so I assume 2.2 only. It uses wifi wo should be fast but I can't get it to work.
Says unsupported appliation
I don't use IE though.
Doesn't support URLs from Google Chrome. Also, no option to send a pdf file from galaxy to laptop. Can only send image/audio/video from galaxy to laptop. So, there is room for improvement.

Available in Sri lanka and not in India. Now this isn't cool.

chrome to phone
check out chrometophone-android-v1.7.apk or Chrome to Phone 2.1 [can't post url]
you can find it in the android market or google search
there is an addon for Chrome and Firefox, you can send links, files, text to your phone, you need a google account

Hello guys I need small help, what is the best file manager application for mac? o wanna transfer music videos and pics between GN and iMac
ta for helping
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
You don't need a file manager per se...
This is the app you use to connect your GN to an OSX machine to transfer files. Google created this for the specific reason of interfacing with android devices that use MTP and not UMS.

You can also transfer over WiFi with an FTP setup. But this is easier.

Lol he doesn't need all that. If he just wants to move pics/music/vid/files back and forth, simple download from Google. Done.
And another thing on that post, I don't see how having to connect your phone via USB to sync with 'Mail', 'Address Book', iCal, iPhoto and iTunes is more seamless than simply letting everything backup wirelessly and automatically with Google services. You're making it harder on yourself by relying on your computers built-in apps. You don't buy an Android phone so that you can go back to the 2007 iPhone strategy and start plugging your phone into the computer every night to sync. That post is basically showing you how to step back from all the great things Android does.

Hey guys,
I posted this question in the Nexus 7 forums too in hopes of finding an answer.
I'm a long time Android user, and a very proud one at that. I recently got my Nexus 7, and I'm extremely happy with it.
I was shocked to see that some "flash video" works in the default Chrome Browser? I have not installed Flash or any other add on that I can think of. But I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can view and play some videos on website which I believe is using Flash.
For example:
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/03/new-super-mario-bros-2-review
http://www.comingsoon.net/
These sites work perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 Chrome Browser.
However, how come these don't work on my Chrome Browser for my Galaxy Nexus?
The Chrome Browser is the same version 18.0.102523 on all 3 devices.
Can someone explain why is this the case?
Thank you all for your on going support in these forums.
Bill
This Question was resolved... see last post
Can anyone else confirm if the videos in the links above work for you? I'm told its working on the Nexus 7 because its HTML5. However, this should be enabled anyhow for the Galaxy Nexus Chrome Browser too. I tested some sites that specifically says HTML5 video, and I have confirmed that they play in my Galaxy Nexus Chrome Browser.
So I'm still mind boggled as to what is the reason they still play in my Nexus 7 but not on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any ideas?
Bill
IGN article worked. Second link, no videos showed up.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks for your feedback DirgeExtinction,
Oh sorry,
in the 2nd link, the video needs to be clicked on the right side of the page, right under TRAILERS and VIDEOs. When I click it, the "No Plug In" page pops up, which isn't the case with my Nexus 7.
Damn, so you got the 1st link working huh... I'm wondering why I'm not able to see this.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Bill
Works here tooooo

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your confirmations... I finally figured out what was causing the problem... although I feel this is a bug:
When you view a website with the "request desktop site" option checked (which I prefer),
the HTML5 video links are broken.
However, if you view the desktop website using the website's "View Full Site" link instead of using the Chrome Browsers "request desktop site" option, the HTML5 video links work!
Thanks Everyone.
For the first link, the video is played under HTML5, not flash. If you force the browser to load the page in desktop format, you will see the flash addon is not available.
Ya, I realized it isn't flash now, thanks to all those that replied., but it's an HTML5 video issue when you use Chrome's Request Desktop Site option.

New to android, why don't apps like Facebook and twitter have direct save for pictures the way iOS does?
Because Google plus uploads video and pictures once taken.
I think he means why cant we save images from Facebook to the device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You can't save directly to the device however if you open the picture in facebook app there are these three little dots for options (I think you know what I mean). Then go to Share and then you can share the picture with picasa, g+ or google drive. Depending on your setup / sync routine saving to picasa / google drive should be almost the same as saving to to your device directly. Only difference is that the picture is saved in your drive folder instead of Pictures or downloads or whereever you intended to store the downloaded files. Hope this helps!
Will try that on Fb. Anyway to do on Twitter? I know about screenshots but just seems iOS made doing this easier
I dont use twitter myself but if there is a possibilty to display images fullscreen it should work the exact same way

Is that a specific app?
Hey guys
I tried searching and googling both these and can't find anything.
First I was wondering if there is any way to specify where to download files each time? Like if I download a Rom I can put it in Rom folder, pictures in picture folder, etc.
And second is if there is way to save pictures that I sync from Facebook to the actual Google contact? Because every time I flash my phone the pictures are all gone or replaced by the old ones from the Google contact.
Any help on either of these things would appreciate.
I'm Tasks AOKP if that matters.
Thanks

downloads will generally always go to the download folder. there are a couple good file explorers out there to help you move things around to where you need them to be.
as for the contacts, sorry. i dont sync my contacts with facebook. i added pictures to them a couple years ago and those same pictures show up on them whenever i flash a new rom and restore/sync contacts. i can even see or change the pics when i look at my contacts on gmail (on the pc)
I know you can specify the download location for each download on dolphin browser.
Any other suggestions? Especially for the contact pictures, just refreshed and lost all again.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Try a program called dow load all files or use opera browser as it allows you to change download location like a regular browser.
Contact thing I'm not sure. I sync all mine to google.
