Yes, but Dropbox is so annoying to use, and only does file transfer. Well, this one is simple FTP as well, but I was (I guess) more so referring to apps like AirDroid. I love it, but I am never on Wifi.

The Galaxy Nexus has a separate file system which maps to a virtual folder, and calls it an SD card. For all intents and purposes (programming wise, anyway) this is recognized as a regular SD card, and apps are unaware that there is anything different. (As an added bonus, MTP allows a live mount of that "card",…

This is a useful tip for almost anything. My first DSLR body was used, and the memory card eject button was broken, so it was a pain to take the cards out. I put a piece of tape on all my memory cards, and everything was painless again. The money I saved on a "broken" body was well worth it.

Here is my take on this, and all tools like it:

It has no idea how your storage is connected. The app on the phone just says "hey, save this to the sd card" and your phone does the rest. MTP is a physical connection protocol, not a wireless one.

Most Enterprise networks (like your school or college) most likely block those ports, so this app, and all others like it, will not work.

I actually really like the drop-down menu, and was immediately upset when it disappeared today. Any way to get it back?

Thanks for the tip. From the description though, they just seem to be regular fleece lines with a shell; it doesn't seem worth it, and was inevitable for someone to make. I'm going to stick with my $10 fleece and $8 windbreaker. But again, if you are not looking for warmth, but just for wind protection, you are better…

It's the first time I am hearing about it, but if they make them, I need one. I always have to put a windbreaker over my fleece jacket when sailing.

This is a La Nina year, that is why it is so warm (in the U.S.). This winter is not an effect of global warming (or rather global climate change).

Yup. This is exactly what I am describing. And I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't. We'd have to dig way down into the niddy griddy workings of the Registry, and I have never in all of my experience met a developer willing to do that.

Sorry, I was trying to be as simplistic as possible, and apparently, I was too simplistic for developers.

Are you sure about that? I mean, I would probably say the same about my mid-2009 Windows PC. It has been a champ, even through all the hacking away I have done to it. But then again, I always used to say that about my old phone as well, up until I got a new one. When I did, I quickly said to myself, "I do remember a…

That's almost what I was trying to get to, with fewer words though... or well, I took out half of my explanation, since I am already wordy enough.

It is easy to back up maintain (well, if it was maintained well), but the central part is what makes it bad. The registry is one giant database, and anyone who has dealt with databases would know that bigger always means slower, no matter how you index it. The registry is already huge when you get a computer, and with…

I have to take Irish's side on this one. Linux is tough to talk about in terms of performance, because (1) most distros were meant to run on older hardware, so it's hard to unbiasedly judge their performance in terms of age, and (2) the Linux population is a very specific kind, and they tend to have very different…

Oh man, I can't wait to not get one of these...

The method here is very simplified, and does not work as listed. Go to the Droid Life article, and read the extended methods, as well as the specifics in the comments. I guarantee you, it will work.

This is is an issue with Android 4.0.

Other than the "resale value" argument, I am going in the complete opposite direction from everyone. If you plan to keep your phone for your entire contract (after which it will have no resale value anyway), then there is absolutely no reason to get a cover or a screen protector.
