Samsung Stratosphere - download photos to PC
That screen showed up when i first got the phone, but I had set it to charge, and not be accessed by the computer. Now I cannot find how to change that, and the computer is not recognizing the device exists. Checked settings and cannot find anything but options to share data via bluetooth, and tapping another device.
HELP!
The problem is that when I plug in, the phone starts charging, but the “USB Connected” does not appear when I drag down the window shade. The phone is not seeing the connection, but it does charge when connected.
I cannot enable USB Mass Storage Mode.
I tried downloading the drivers, to see if the computer can find the phone. Still no luck.
(insert frown here!)

Samsung stratosphere downloads
How do I open a download (such as a ringtone) from a text message with the stratosphere? It says it has downloaded, but I can't get it to open, or find where to open it.
You have to tap on the file (whatever it is) and then the menu key and "save attachment". Took me a minute to figure it out myself.

How to download photos from samsung stratosphere so I can upload them on my new 5c
I can't seem to get my photos off my Samsung Stratosphere onto my computer so I can upload them onto my new 5C.
Hi Becky,
If you have iCloud and shared Photo Stream turned on, you can go into your each of your albums and do the following:
1. Tap on Edit
2. Tap on each photo you want to save back to your computer
3. Tap on Share
4. Tap on Photo Stream
5. Tap on the unnamed Photo Stream folder just created
6. Type in your iCloud or Apple ID email address
7. Name the Photo Stream
8. Tap on Next to create the shared Photo Stream album
9. Tap on Post
10. Tap on the new Photo Stream album
11. Tap on Edit
12. Tap on the photos to select them
13. Tap on Share
14. Tap on Save to Camera Roll
Once they are back in the Camera Roll, you should be able to import them.
Cheers,

when I download from my samsung camera, the photos do not go to the "photos" file. I have to download to "import" then copy them to a separate album. what am I doing wrong?are
Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto?
If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library. From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?

How do I download photos from iPhone 4 to Samsung laptop.
How do I download photos from iPhone 4 to Samsung laptop.
What version of Windows? In Windows 7 an iPhone shows up as a digital camera in the Computer section of the Start menu and you can import the photos from there. I'm not sure if it is the same in Windows 8 but it wouldn't hurt to check.

I am beyond frustrated. I have had the phone for 2-3 months now and it has always had the same problem. I can't send pictures to anyone or a website without it taking up to 2-3 days. (My other phone was near instant posting of photo.) The pictures that I do take are like short little videos, 2-5 seconds long. All the pictures that I receive from others I have the same problem they are 2-3 second videos. This has been this way from the START. Doesn't matter if I am in 4GLTE, 3G, battery out, battery in, a hard reset of my phone (several times), mobile data enabled, mobile data disabled, DMCA only. I have tried all of the suggestions and I am still having this problem. I knew I shouldn't have "upgraded" to a smart phone. This is what I want: I want a normal picture, not a 2-3 second video. I want to be able to send that picture to someone one or a website and have them receive it in a timely matter. I would like to be able to receive a normal picture without the download timing out. I don't want to have to go through 5-10 different settings to do this everytime. This all is making the blogging that much harder. Right now it is easier to take a pic with my Nikon D700, download that through the Nikon software, I am even able to touch it up and load it onto facebook or my blog, than it is to use this phone camera. Obviously, this is an ongoing problem that Verizon seems to not know how to fix, given the number of discussions.
Such an unhappy customer right now.
DvoraI's happening to me to.When I first bought my samsung stratosphere i was ablet o receive pictures. No the last 3 month it wasn't receiving or sending pictures. After figuring it out I found out it only works when I turn on my Mobile Data, it won't work when using wifi. But I don't want to use the Mobile Data because It will use up my usage when receiving or sending pictures. I believe is hapening to samsung phones cause my friend has a different samsung model and it's happening to them to. My other friend has Iphone, LG, Motorola and it doesn't happen to them. So I believe is only Samsung.

Can't download photos from smartphone ?
I have purchased an IPad camera connection kit to download photos from my Samsung galaxy ace but when I use the sd card adapter I get " no photos to import " message , but they are there . When I use the USB adapter I get " this device uses too much power " . Not sure if anyone can help ?
Import the photos to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Cooler smileys for Samsung Stratosphere
Recently got a Samsung Stratosphere but the smiley faces are pretty pathetic. Does anyone know if the emoji smileys can be downloaded to this phone? Or if there are free smiley downloads for this phone? Thanks.
Good morning and happy Sunday almodn525,
I too share the same love and passion for the Motorola Startac. I’m super impressed that you still have yours. I would definitely suggest keeping it as it is a collector’s item. As you can see, cell phones have came a long way over the years. While I’m glad that you are happy with your Stratosphere, many new devices do not have the blinking LED feature that you so desire. I don't want the lack of this feature to bug any more than it already has. Since I don’t know any devices that do have off the top of my head, I would encourage you to visit your local Verizon Wireless retail store and test the many smartphones that we have on display. If you are able to find a device with this feature as well as others for you to enjoy then I would love to hear about it from you. If you have any additional questions or concerns then we are here to assist. I’m looking forward to reading what device that you will decide on. Happy shopping.
Thank you…

Finding all ringtones on Samsung Stratosphere
I've had a Samsung Stratosphere nearly a month, and I have a question about ringtones. Specifically, some apps seem to have access to certain ringtones while others do not. For instance, "Transparent piano" appears as a ringtone in Home > Settings > Sound settings for Notification but not for Phone. I can maybe understand that, as some tones might seem more appropriate for a phone ring than others. But when I go to set an alarm using the Clock app, the possible Alarm tones (under Sounds) are more like the list of Phone tones than the Notification tones. I like "Transparent piano," and I'd like to have it available as an Alarm tone.
Why can't I see the whole list of ringtones? And where might these ringtone files be located on the phone, so that I might, say, create a more accessible folder for my own selection of favorites?
Thanks.They actually want to use the ringers as a RingBack tones and these file does not appear to be on the device to access so the method wont work the same as setting a ringertone on the device.
Posted on Verizon Site: http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Get%20It%20Now/faq_ringbacktones.html
What is the difference between a Ringtone and a Ringback Tone?
Ringtones are downloaded to and played by your phone. The called party hears the Ringtone.
Ringback Tones are not downloaded to your phone. Instead, the Ringback Tone is played by the network to your callers prior to you answering the call or it being diverted to voicemail. The calling party hears the Ringback Tone. -
Samsung Stratosphere update coming
According to a couple of sources, the Samsung Stratosphere is to receive its first system update over the air, probably within a few days:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/08/27/samsung-stratosphere-to-receive-first-update-includes/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/27/samsung-stratosphere-on-verizon-slated-to-get-a-pseudo-ics-update-build-ff01/
This is going to be a "mandatory" update, meaning that Strat users cannot choose not to receive and install it. The update will not be Ice Cream Sandwich, but will add a couple of ICS features to the Strat's Gingerbread Android operating system, such as face unlock. (I presume that this means you can unlock the phone by looking at it, not by tapping it with your face -- nor that the phone will unlock your face if the latter seizes up. ) It will also address a few issues that have been mentioned on this forum, such as individual ringtones for contacts, and improved screen wakeup during calls.
Here is an announcement from VZW about the update (note the misspelling of the device's name in the URL!):
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/statosphere.pdf
Here's a brochure from VZW about what will happen when the update is ready to install (with the same misspelling):
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/statosphere_instructions.pdf
I haven't received any word from VZW about this myself, which I find a little annoying, since they say they are "pleased to announce" it. Just not directly to customers, I guess. Now if my phone will only hold a 4G connection long enough for the thing to download!Thanks, Ann. Can you tell me (us) how to get to that support page? I only found the announcement PDF because it was linked to on one of the sites I gave in my post (which I only found because they were in a post on the Android Central Stratosphere forum, which I also monitor). I went to the VZW site and tried clicking a couple of support links, but I could only find some very basic stuff, not this announcement. I'd love to have a VZW support site I could also check from time to time for such announcements.

After many years of having no problems at all on my Macbook, I recently figured I should finally upgrade my OS. I did that about three weeks ago, updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I used Time Machine at least once after the OS upgrade but now Time Machine no longer recognizes the external drive I have used for all these years to back up. The MacBook does not "see" it. (Disk Utility does however.) The computer then also stopped recognizing another La Cie back-up that I have and now... my iPhone cannot download photos? Yikes.
I have, of course, shut down numerous times, used different cables (that worked for some) and the two USB drives. I even used a firewire. Nothing worked. I also tried to "Repair disk" on Disk Utility. It didn't work either, giving me an error (that I didn't save, sorry).
I read many other discussions on the file format of the external drive and of course I'd be happy to reformat the external drives--however, it is obviously a tad nerve-wracking to reformat drives before having an accessible back-up. Suggestions? I do not remember what file format they have but am pretty sure it's not the Mac file system someone mentioned. The drives are a 2009 WD "My Passport Elite" and La Cie 2007 d2 Quadra,
In terms of other hardware available, we do have another MacBook Air but it has started rejecting both drives as well (without the Snow Leopard upgrade). We have an old Dell but it wouldn't have the disk space to help out much.
Any thoughts on the process involved would be welcome. Any ideas on the iPhone rejection would be helpful as well! It is a 30gig iPhone 4 that has 20 or so gigs free (not clear as iTunes says that there are abour 18 Gigs on the phone but 24 free gigs? I may be bad at math but that's 40 gigs...).
I am checking out iCloud but apparently there are only 55 gigs available?
Will be glad to hear any thoughts. Thanks!Good afternoon Lyssa,
Phew. First of all, thanks in advance...these blogs are always comforting help!
So, to answer your questions: For the age of the hard drive.Well, I added memory a couple of years ago (RAM and hard drive). Being a mom leads me to eat up a fair amount of gigs with photos of my kids and, in fact, I think I entirely replaced the original drive, so it is a couple years younger than 2008 since I did that in March 2010. If there is some way to verify that (whether or not I replaced the entire drive), I'm all ears. I have 311 Gigs free, so it is not a space issue. I verified the startup disk on Disk Utilityand nothing showed up.
Question 1- What formats...
The La Cie is format Windows NT Filesystem 3G ....At the time that I bought it I was still using a PC as well as a Mac and was told by afriend to use this format...
The WD is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I again tried to repair the WD last night and this is the error message: "Error: DiskUtility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
Also, Time Machine tried again to back-up and gave me this error: "Files can't becopied onto the backup disk because it appears to be 'read only'. You may needto repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can't berepaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machinepreferences to select a different backup disk."
Question 2. Other cables...
I used two other cables with the WD and that didn't change anything.
Question 3... Fire Wire from the La Cie
Yes, I used the Firewire cable from the La Cie and it is indeed present, though still not visible in Finder. Since it is not Mac OSExtended I know that I can't use Time Machine with it.
So, in summary...
I can plug in the La Cie and it is functional on the MacBook, visible on Disk Utility but not visible in Finder. The WD drive is not visible and not functional. So we can think it is indeed the WD that is not working.... Also, the iphone photos did, in the end, get downloaded, so it is not something more general.
Causes...
I forgot to mention that there is a "lost+found" file on the WD which apparently points to a UNIX /OS issue?
Some kind of "insurance"?....
I'm curious about how people avoid this kind of issue. You just regularly replace back-up drives and hard drives before problems come up? Time Machine is great and saves many of us from disasters, however, knowing that your Time Machine back-ups are vulnerable makes the whole system insecure. No way to have alarms ring before the drive goes out?
As for ways ahead...
It seems that I ought to be able to copy off of the WD to the MacBook then erase it and reformat it and start over again. However, I haven’t been able to see its contents except on random occasions. If you have any ideas on how to copy the Time Machineback-ups from the WD, again, I'm all ears!

I am trying to download photos from my iPod to either an external hard drive or my computer, which has a Windows operating system. The iPod should function like an external hard drive, right? My photo files/computer/hard drive were damaged. Can I put my photos on the iCloud, and then save on external drive? Not sure how to o this either. I lost a few years of baby photos. Thanks for any help!
iTunes syncing to iPods (that are not iPod touch) mostly goes one way, from computer to iPod. For photos, at the time you synced the photos to the iPod, there is a setting that you needed to have enabled in iTunes if you later want to recover them from the iPod. This setting is on the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes (where you set up photo syncing). There is a checkbox for Include full-resolution photos.
IF that checkbox was checked, you can Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab, and find the full-res photo files in the Photos folder on the iPod. Otherwise (if setting not checked), when iTunes syncs the photos to the iPod, iTunes converts the images to a very low-resolution version that is optimized to fit the small iPod screen and stores the image data in a single database file (to save storage space). There may be third-party software that can extract separate photos from that database file, but the resulting photos will look bad blown up to computer screen size. -
I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,
Novice501. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...
iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2 -
How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!
