Not sure but look at TunnelBear you get 500mb per month free so easy to try

Thanks for that

Just used AndroidPit for the first time - managed to get what I was after so happy now!

Anyone else used AndroidPit? Thoughts?

Need a bit of help guys.

I'm in hospital and I have am few films on my Samsung s 2 but I want to watch them on my nexus 7 that has have with me as well. I'm not 100% but I remember reading that you can't send a file that's 700 mb, can I do it with a app or will I have to split it up
I can't test for myself because the nexus needs charging.

Thanks for the help

Could you use Dropbox?

Can I stream it from drop box. I do have an account but only got pictures on it.

It's going to take a long time to upload i think. The Internet connection in here is poor on my phone. They do have wifi but not sure if I can use it. I'll ask someone.

Use wireless transfer pro, can put unlimited size in your phone.

Does the sky go app buffer up

I can get the app and my mates details so I can watch the match on my nexus but the connection is so slow here I'm wondering if it will still work. Not bothered if it's in real time

I just gave the app a quick test and found the opposite, I thought the stock camera performed better. I'll keep trying it though and see how it goes

OK I am not a great photographer and its a dreary day but I did these 4 photos to compare. Need someone to take an indoor photos as I am really bad

Stock Camera No HDR

Stock Camera HDR

HDR Pro - 5MB Pixel - No Zoom

HDR pro - 5MB Pixel - Zoomed to same perspective as Stock

But the n4 doesn't do the 3 picture merge.

How do you think it does HDR? Merging 3 photo's at different exposures is what HDR is.

AndyCr15 · 8 Apr 2013 at 20:31

I don't think HDR is really for taking photo's of a bush in your garden. You won't know how well it works until you have a dark street/house and a bright sky.

On an unrooted stock Note 2, is it possible to change the ugly grey notification bar at the top?

tals · 8 Apr 2013 at 20:39

Agreed, though imho the hdr pro was marginally better. Indoors i felt it was less marginal but need to play more. Tbh i just want the best photo that this phone can achieve. I don't mind how it does it

AndyCr15 · 8 Apr 2013 at 21:37

Then don't use HDR unless there are real contrasts in exposure. Generally HDR photo's wont be as good unless that's the case. Even then, they're often not as sharp as there is almost always some movement during the three pictures.

tals · 8 Apr 2013 at 22:04

Did you check out the four pictures i posted?

The non hdr picture is not a true reflection of the actual colours, inside the difference and colours was even clearer.

If that doesn't work then dropbox is a great idea.

You can't stream from dropbox but you'll be able to upload your file to dropbox, then download the file onto your other device from dropbox.

I installed the 'Word of the Day' extension for Dashclock...

I set it to 'Urban Dictionary', Thought it was quite apt!!
