#20838 — Is there a select all button in Android for bluetooth file xfer?

My micro usb slot is not working so I bluetooth my photos
over to my linux laptop, which works fine, on a file-by-file
basis.

But, is there a way to select all the files in a folder 
in one step to transfer en masse?

What I do is the following:
1. Click on Gallery
2. Scroll to the desired "album"
3. Select that album 
4. This puts albums in a line on the left
5. And it puts the photos in the selected album in the right
6. I can long press on the first photo of the album
7. This brings up a checkbox in the top right of each picture
8. I can painstakingly select each picture (using that checkbox)
9. Then I hit the bluetooth icon at the top
10. I select my laptop (ubuntu-0) in the available device list
11. Android give a message saying "Sending filename.jpg".
12. Linux accepts the files in /tmp/bluetooth/filename.jpg

This bluetooth file transfer is great, but, when there are 
a few hundred pictures, it's a pain to select each one, 
checkbox by checkbox by checkbox.

Is there a way to select photos en masse for bluetooth 
file transfer from Android to Linux?

What about creating a ZIP file (put all your music in a ZIP),
doing the one transfer, and then dealing with the contents
(unzip) when it gets there ? That's assuming the Android will
tolerate the transfer of a large file, without barfing.

What I note about ZIP, is the performance level is not exactly
awe inspiring. I presume this is what happens with Flash based
storage ? The contents of this article aren't appropriate,
but just the comments about performance didn't exactly
impress me.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9324103/download-and-extract-zip-file-in-android

    "it decompressed a 23 MB file into a 130 MB folder in exactly 1 minute:"

So that is writing out the archive contents after decompression,
at 130/60 = 2.2MB/sec. Wow...

Since Bluetooth is involved, it's going to be painfully slow
in any case. There is a Bluetooth standard, which operates
Bluetooth and Wifi "in parallel", but doing so may not
be all that common. The idea is, the Bluetooth supports
the PAN (personal area network), and the Bluetooth driver
uses the Wifi during the data transfer phase. It was a trick
the Bluetooth standards people thought up, to speed up
Bluetooth without messing up the other good aspects
of Bluetooth. The Wifi is the "HS" mentioned here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

    Version      Data rate    Max. application throughput
    1.2          1 Mbit/s     >80 kbit/s
    2.0 + EDR    3 Mbit/s     >80 kbit/s
    3.0 + HS    24 Mbit/s     See Version 3.0 + HS
    4.0         24 Mbit/s     See Version 4.0 LE

Seems like an extra unnecessary step ... compared to just figuring
out how to "select all" photos in a folder (or better yet, to select
a set of photos by sliding my finger along them).

I had not known that, so thanks for the interesting speed tidbit.

If you install Google Photos instead of using the factory installed 
Gallery ... you long-press the first photo to bring up the tick-boxes, 
and select the first image, then without raising your finger, slide 
left/right across images to select them one-by-one, or slide up/down and 
the list scrolls selecting them row-by-row.

I like that this Google Photos can select all photos easily, 
but when I started installing it, it asked for access to
my identity, contacts, location, call information, etc., 
which a pure photo app wouldn't need (or even want).

I'm not sure if this is a viable solution only because of that, 
because otherwise, what you mentioned was a good feature.

True, it does allow syncing to google drive etc, which are presumably 
why it needs permissions.  I figure that since Google already have 
permission to virtually everything, giving another of their apps some 
rights doesn't alter much ... if it was e.g. a Flickr app wanting the 
same, I'd be wary of spreading permissions to Yahoo!

I do understand that, once you *trust* Google, they make your life easier 
by linking everything together, your photos, your contacts, your phone 
calls, your location, your buying and searching habits, etc.

But, if you don't trust Google, then it's not so easy to decide what to 
do. 

I, for one, make up a google login when I create mine for Android, and I 
change it every once in a while. Since I never purchase apps, there's 
really no loss whatsoever, other than a bit of inconvenience when getting 
email (since I have to use K9 Mail instead of Gmail).

Since there is KDEConnect I no longer need such complicated transfers.

It requires access to the same WIFI network but you can now browse the 
Android device from your computer.

I didn't realize the WiFi network mattered, so I will confirm the Linux
laptop and the Android phone *are* on the same network (it's a typical
broadband WiFi router setup).

I'm on KDE also. But I never heard of this "KDEConnect".

Searching, I find this article:
How to integrate Android into KDE Linux desktop
http://xmodulo.com/integrate-android-kde-linux-desktop.html

Here's what it says:
KDE Connect has two components: KDE desktop component (kde-connect) and 
device components (e.g., Android app). Currently, for KDE Connect to 
work, the desktop computer and an Android device need to be on the same 
local network (via WiFi). Android app relies on UDP broadcast to 
advertise its presence to the desktop over the local network. Once 
paired, Android app communicates with the desktop via a public-key based 
encrypted channel.

Roger, Thanks for the tip about ES File Manager.  Didn't know it had 
that feature. The path to the remote manger was a bit different (I may 
have an older version of the app), but it worked like a charm.

Will, if your Android phone is one of the Samsung Galaxy models, Google 
or You Tube search "replacing USB port on Samsung galaxy S?".  I had to 
replace the one on my S2, and it was surprisingly easy.  No soldering. 
Just pull out the old circuit board and put in the new.  $7.00 for the 
part on Ebay.

Tools required are a very tiny Phillips head screwdriver (jewelers 
kind), thin piece of smooth plastic for prying things (guitar pick works 
very well), and a little patience handling the delicate parts. Took less 
than 30 minutes.  There are numerous videos showing how on You Tube, so 
apparently it's a common problem with some galaxy phones.

  Nope.  The problem is with humans and USB ports.  Many plug them in
"hot" and end up with electrical (charge rate) failures or connection
failures, other simply beat them up.  The fact that Samsung has made it
an easy to replace change-out method is a great thing, not a problem.
The problem *was* when it was hard soldered and required a much more
in-depth procedure to repair it.

 USB charging systems should be plugged in "cold" and the energized.  So
plug in the device unit first, then the cord end that goes into the
charger unit.  This keeps the tiny arc that occurs from causing the
plating to get abraded or damaged (as quickly).

Bob, I still haven't found the "Remote" feature of my ES File Explorer
either. I don't know how to tell what *version* my ES File Explorer
is, but it's probably a year or two old.

Yes. It's a Samsung Galaxy S3. The USB port is soldered in, and "can" be
replaced, but it's a dangerous job that I'm not an expert in soldering
a dozen tiny pins at once. So, I just charge the battery in a separate
charger, and swap batteries out daily.

Bluetooth works fine - it's slow - but it works. I can bluetooth to 
Linux without any problems. I can't bluetooth to Windows but for now, 
I'm just trying to get Linux working.

The only problem with bluetooth to Linux is that I have to select 
the picture one by one, which is a pain for 200 pictures.

I've seen the videos. You really need to be an expert, which I am not.

  USB is four conductors and one grounded shroud consisting of two
connections, one on each side.  There is no "dozen".

The replacement port part number is 3722-003512.

Five solder points are connection to shield.

Six connection points are gold plated, and intended
as the connector pins. Possible assignments (microUSB)
would be:

     * 1 - (red) VDC / plus / +5V
     * 2 - (white) Data -
     * 3 - (green) Data +
     * 4 - (varies) ID
     * 5 - (black) GND / ground
     * 6 - Shield

In one thread, someone recommended a hot air gun for
replacement. If I was going to attempt that with a soldering
iron, I'd want to know the pin spacing first.

There's a picture here, of it assembled.

When you look at the size of this person's fingers compared
to the connector, the pitch on that connector is pretty fine.

I have watched all the videos, some of which are two hours long.
It's too involved for me.

For home charging, I just use a separate charger & extra batteries.
For file transfer, I use the removable SD card and bluetooth.
(I got the WiFi working also, thanks to the suggestions here).

The only place it's problematic is on the road.

You've never *seen* the connector then.

Take a look at time point 1107 in this video for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Vic0SJ6IzYo#t=1107

Likewise, see this video at time point 2011.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CvIgST4weOE#t=2011

There are LOTS and LOTS of "pins" (more than I want to count).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgGkCjNSlSM

Suffice to say you must be an *expert* at desoldering 
and soldering to replace this connector without bricking
the phone.

While you may claim to be an expert at everything, I make no such claims.

You could just get the whole logic board and replace it. No soldering.

That's interesting, so thanks Caver1 for that idea.
The board on the net seems to only be about 40 to 60 bucks, which, when 
you compare to the danger of soldering, seems to be a safer bet overall.

OK. I admit. I don't understand why or how you get a space in your 
followup line when I reply to you.

Normally I just reply, and don't even *look* at the followups (which the 
rickety troll takes advanage of by adding the comp.os.linux.advocacy 
group to).

But, you didn't answer the question.

Why do followups *only* in respond to your posts not work without manual 
editing?

What is your logical thought process in that?
