[Q] Dropbox

i have dropbox on my phone and setup on my computer, i have a file i want to share with someone on here, i can't figure out how to get it here so he can download it???

Upload the file into your drop box. Then hit share and when it gives you options of how to send pic link. It will generate a link. That link you can post.

ok i'll try it are you the one who wanted the camera app, i can't remember who now, crazy man

Not anymore i ended up just using the stock one and then using the ics camera from market. Everything works perfect on that. The ics app kept closing upon opening.

well i still got to learn how to do this, i can't seem to get the link part and how to post over here

Not sure how many post you need on here before you are allowed to post links? You can always email a apk file. Its small i have done it plenty of times.

Ok on the app open it and on the top select the middle button with the folder and the arrow up. On the bottom it shows two green buttons photos/videos or other files. Select which one you like to upload and then upload it into your drop box.once it is done you can hit the drop box icon on top left and get back to main screen. find the file or pic and long press it. Choose copy link and it will say ready to paste. At that point just long press again and paste where you like the link to be.

ok thanks

[Q] ZL's Remote app and Airtel DTH

Hey guys!!!
One big reason for me to choose ZL over Z was the IR remote sensor.. and frankly its really cool to have an IR on your phone. It is working well with my TVs and I am able to configure it with ease. But, it doesn't work with my STBs (which accounts for the max remote usage ) I have two Airtel DTH STB's (HouseCast &Hauwei) and both are not responding to my phone. I tried doing the manual setup (as they arent listed in the auto setup), but it doesn't work. Can anyone guide as to what could be the problem?

i have figured out that there is some problem with the learning function of the app as even the devices which work under auto setup does not learn if you try entering them under manual setup.. anyone can help me with this? has anyone tries making things work under manual setup??

i have a tata sky stb digihome box ..same issue .. doesnt learn

same issus here, how to use learning function?

Learning worked for my device. you have to put the remote control a few centimeters below the power-button of your phone and press and hold the desired key.

Mine works good for TataSky STB. Just select SKY as the manufacturer of STB while setting it up for new device, and select type 2 (out of various pre-configured layouts). Hope it works for u too!

it learns the buttons but when i click test remote it either fails or force closes putting the entire effort of pressing each button useless .. i saved again without testing button did not respond

It's a known issue. Popped up in the Sony support forum, but there's also no solution.

I also use TataSky but my phone doesnt have sky option. Is there any update for that app or is different for every country?

So, there is an update on Sony Support Forum:
This has been investigated and in case you have this problem the phone needs to be repaired or replaced by a service location.
Please contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support ( sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/ ) for assistance.

Anyone able to get the "learn signal" to work?
I've tried 2 remotes to learn volume +-. It works initially.. it says "signal learned" but then the button never works.

I tried to make my phone simply learn the one and off for my A/c but after many attempts the ZL did not learn the single command.
Hope sony fixes this soon.

I'm bumping this a bit because this problem is apparently annoying multiple Xperia ZL users. The related thread at the Sony support forum unfortunately is marked as solved, although no proof of a solution has been spotted yet.
As Sony's local Service Centers seem to be unaware of the functionality, let alone have a fix for the problem, I am trying to escalate this issue to Sony, in the hopes of a proper fix.
In this light, I would like to request anyone having issues with IR not learning signals properly to post in that thread and help make Sony aware of this problem. With strength in numbers, we'll get this fixed.

Shortcuts not going to home screen using Nova Launcher

I am not sure if this is a bug or just something on my end. I can't find anyone else having this issue or not anywhere. I have Nova Launcher 2.1 and just recently installed Nova Launcher 2.1beta1 and am having the same issues. I wanted to create a shortcut to a document as I have done in the past. I have a few folders on a page to the right of my Home page. For some reason, I can't add any shortcuts. I am using either ES File Explorer or FX. When I hold on a document, and choose "Add to desktop" it would say, "Short cut added to desktop" yet it's no where to be found. However, if I go to the "Touch wiz" launcher, all the shortcuts are there instead...
Any ideas?

Hey buddy, i am in the exact same boat...infact i have posted the same question about a day or so ago here and didn't get any response: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288152&nocache=1
Im starting to think that im the only guy that wants to home screen my bookmarks/pages, until i seen your post here. I don't get how such a great launcher can not have the ability currently to homescreen bookmarks.
But as you said, when you flip over to another launcher they are there. I really don't know how to fix it or if there is a fix, i hope there is...as i want to continue using Nova.

I am in a similar situation. I guess the recent update of Nova would have bug on it. The issue I have is that I tried to add a S Note shortcut to the homescreen, but it wouldn't show up. It showed up on Touchwiz or other launchers.

What I don't understand is why though there is almost nobody with knowledge of it anywhere. Its like its the forbidden subject that nobody can speak of. I even emailed the developer and got nothing back.
Its just bothersome to me that with all the power that droid phones have, Nova simply can not let one add a shortcut to the home screen from web browsing.

Going back to 1.8 or 1.9 will probably solve this problem. ...

Checked now.
2.0.1 works without flaw. [can be Found in the official xda web post]
the latest release has included auto add shortcuts for newly installed apps-which obviously broke the shortcut add by app[fx ,es] features.

[APP][2.3+][Need Testers] Cite by Sight - MLA Citation by Barcode

Hello, everyone! I am brand new to Android development, and this is my first app. The idea is simple: scan a book's barcode (using an intent to the Barcode Scanner app), generate an MLA citation, export by whatever means you wish. I intent to add more features in the future. For now, I need my solid base functionality tested.

I'm bumping this because I really need testers.

I've tried it out, although I scanned only a couple of books.
After scanning screen goes black, when I presume the app looks for the title book, but I surely should present a spinning wheel or something. The first time, screen remained black, I had to press the back button to get to the app and have the pop-up.
Besides, when scanning another book, it simply crashed (for reference, it was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret, UK, adult version)
Anyway, the title recognition works fine
P.S: I think Android design guidelines recommend removing the dialog titlebar in this case

I'll give it a shot here soon. any specific tasks you want checked out?

Install any app on your moto360!!!

Not sure if this is already a known thing or not but I wanted to share my latest find.
You can install any apk onto your smartwatch! This works for any smartwatch on Android Wear. Now I won't take any credit for discovering this it all goes to the guy who posted the guide. I can't post links yet since I'm a new user but if you Google corbindavenport you should easily be able to find the guide.
In the guide there's a very detailed guide as to how to install any application, what you can and can't install and even links to apps that would add a lot of functionality to the phone like an app which rotates your other applications by setting their orientation and an app that keeps the watch on at all times or even lengthens the watch's on-time before it fades.
I've personally gotten the orientation app and temple run working on my watch. If you've already installed Microsoft's keyboard you should know what to do.
Here's to many more discoveries to come. I'm in love with this watch and it seems every day I find something new to add to the love.

Is this where you start?
http://corbindavenport.com/?p=167

Yeah, thanks for posting the link!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks to share. Finally I can set my watch to always on which in some sitution I need to show the nice watch face. And thanks much for Corbin to work it out and write very clear and detail instruction. Now I finally satisfied with my 360.
If you turn on watch always, battery will go down around 1% per minute. Just to share with others.
Since now can install any APP on watch, now I try to find a music app can work so I can push all local songs to watch to play. The google music player is not easy to control even can upload my own songs but not efficient. So far I tried different app none of them can run on watch. So if anyone fins one please let me know.

If you just want to keep the screen always on, you can download Swipify launcher from the play store, click on Quick Settings and click Screen Always On.
It actually works pretty well, because you can still turn the screen off manually (by covering with your palm), and it will automatically turn on when you look at it and stay on until you turn it off manually again...

Has this been patched with the latest Wear update? I'm trying to get this to work with my Note 4, and the part where you forward the adb to the watch
adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:6666
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
each command processes without errors but also no confirmation
after that the instructions suggest that doing adb devices will show the watch, but it doesn't on my end, only the phone still
so when I try to install the apk, it says "error: device not found"
so either the Note 4 is blocking this or the Wear update is

Did you enable USB debugging on your Note 4 and enable bluetooth debugging in the Android Wear app + watch itself? You could also try running 'adb kill-server' and try again.

Thanks for helping me realize I was an idiot. I totally skipped over the Enabling Debugging on the watch part. Seems to be installing now. It's been a good 5 minutes and this thing is still processing, rather than give me the error messages from before. Let's see if it works in the end

Not Working
Hello
Many thanks for postong however it does not work for me - I type adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub and I get the message -
device unauthorized please check the confirmation dialog on your device
I have ADB debugging set on watch and phone and Bluetooth debugging set on watch.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Music App
I'm in no way affiliated with the app, but I found "Wear Music" on the app store (it is way down the list even when searching with the exact term) that is a standalone music player, and lets you transfer music to the Moto 360. Very well done app. It's a paid app though.
