I have my phone unlocked and I have the touchexplorer installed. I viewed a PDF about 2 months ago and I want to look at it again. Is there a temp folder that holds these documents and where is it?
normally u would find all your pdfs in Adobe reader unless you deleted them, now if u did I am not sure but I do not think it would show up in temp or anything coz that would just waste precious memory.
Pdf Reader sometimes doesn't store files when you receive few different files with the same name. Like I receive my carrier bill having the same name every month. Because you can't rename files hence the conflict appears. Another great "advantage" of lack of file explorer.
And if in this case you deleted the email containing this file than Pdf is gone.
I was able to find the PDF by going opening the Adobe App (simple right..) now I would like to get it to my computer. I have it set so windows explore on my computer can access the files on my phone but where would that specific file be stored?

Long time WM user, fairly new WP7.5 user.
Love the platform and for the most part, don't miss WM at all.
Except, I used to be able to attach files to my emails like MP3 and Wav files but I have yet to see a way to do that under WP7.5.
I have searched and scrolled through this section to see if I could find something however nothing really addressed the question. Based on some of the threads I read, it looks like this cannot be done.
Can it? Does anyone know if it is coming out in a relase fix?
Thanks,
Rick
The EmailComposeTask class does not support attachments which is ridiculous and it's been a long time complaint. Microsoft doesn't seem to bothered by it and I haven't heard anything about them supporting it. I think it's part of their strategy to get devs to start using the cloud more.
Just noticed this wasn't the developer forum. My post is development related and doesn't really apply to question.
I agree about the cloud but you still need to be able to send a link in an expeditious way. Openning windowslive and finding the folder/file and then specifying share and sending an email is a PIA.
I do like the cloud for my contacts and other stuff since it is not taking space on my phone. I like it until I travel into the boonies of Texas and want to make a call but the contact list is not there cause there is not connection to 4G, 3G but to whatever was there before God created cell phones. Not looking forward to that day.
For most things it is done under the application. For example, in office word, you can hit share and choose the email account. Same within most apps. Zune though does not have this option. probably because your not supposed to pirate them to your friends.
Yet more prof that Windows Phone sucks and Windows Mobile still rules. What a damn shame. I tried to email someone and attach my resume but couldn't I had to go through the stupid office hub to do it, what a bunch of B.S. And they wonder why their sales suck ass.

You're not trying to imply that I would send MP3's that are illegal are you?
Just kidding.
Actually they are my own files and sometimes ring tones that I created and want to share.
As for the resume email... kind of hard to attach a file to an email when it is not located on your phone. I am liking the fact that the cloud has the files and not the phone. There just needs to be a simple way to access and send it. Like Sinister1, I would prefer to have it attached to an email that I authored like we have been doing every since email allowed attachments rather than going to the file on the cloud and sharing it with an individual.
Is there any way to extract files from our phones and store them in Dropbox or Skydrive? for example pdf files or mp3.
Office files will sync on SkyDrive, or if opened on the phone (from email or web) can be saved to SkyDrive or to the phone itself. In either case, you can then send them as attachments (but only that one file at a time) in email.
Sadly, though, that's the only way I know of to send email attachments other than pictures. Microsoft really needs to either add the API for attachments, or they need to allow Outlook Mobile to open files from the public parts of your phone.
Irony-mode: Zune (the hardware, all the way fromt he HD to the original 30GB model) allowed sending files by WiFi - a feature MS has not bothered to add to WP7 even though I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be difficult (both run on some variant of CE, both have WiFi, the HD even used a touch interface similar to the phone...). Instead, forget sending music, forget sending video, and you can barely send a Word doc!

Is there another way to extract pdfs, zips or mp3s of our phones even through data cable?
My PDF files are adding up. Whenever I open up Adobe reader, the files are pilling up. I know I can press and hold on any one of them and delete the file but some I want on my PC and this just is too funky.
@Rickgig, what phone do you have? Some WP7 devices are able to use apps that will access the phone and move/copy/transfer files.
Alternatively, don't you have other copies of those PDFs? I mean, they got onto the phone from somewhere, so wouldn't it be easier to get them from there? Then you could safely delete the unneeded ones off the phone.

I have a Titan with AT&T.
You're right... I can get them from someplace else. They are mostly menu's from restaurants but then they are business documents too. I have since learned to upload them from my PC to Skydrive and access them there.
There's a work around for everything I just wanted some of the WM features to be here. Like the file that prompted me to start this thread in the first place. My son did some work on his car and took a short video of the results and MMS'd to me. I can forward it to others but that is about it. Can't save it, can't email it to myself... if I deleted the text thread, it's gone.
I'm just wondering is there an app that can transfer files over wi-fi? back when I was on iPhone, they had apps that allowed you to wirelessly transfer files from your PC to your phone. searched around and nothing came up.
Also I'm on CM9, is there a way to NOT sync your media that's on your SD card to the Gallery? I've only found how to not sync it with my emails. When I was on stock, the gallery didn't sync with my SD card.
Thanks in advance.
Air droid, WiFi file explorer etc. there's literally loads lol, where did you search ?

The sync issue is simple to fix also. You create a file called .nomedia and place it in what every directories you dont want to sync.
I just enable the FTP server feature in ES File Explorer, that way I can still use Windows Explorer to copy files to my phone.

So I have a main folder and then a sub folder. I created the .nomedia in the subfolder which contained what I didnt wanna sync but it still shows up in the Gallery. If i make it in the main folder then nothing syncs in the Gallery, not even the camera roll.
Did you reboot and fix permissions?
Hello, I like to take photos and videos using my Note PRO 12.2 However, it has happened a few times that when I showed people photos/videos in Gallary, those that I did not want to show also showed up. What is the best way to hide these videos/photos? I am using an un-rooted device. Thanks.
Rename those files (or folder containing them) to start with "."
They should not show up on your gallery.

Create a new empty file and name it ".nomedia" without the quotes. It will hide any media in the folder that you place it from any gallery/media app.
Thanks. In the case of putting confidential photos and videos in the folder called .nomedia , how do I view those files?
I guess the above approach is very good if everything is in one folder. If I organize the files into folders like "Summer trip to the US", "winter 2014", "school", "research", etc., it may be a bit inconvenience to move selected files from each folder to one big .nomedia folder or create one such folder inside each bigger folders.
Alternatively, is there a good photos/videos viewer that allows me to drag and drop files or folder to it so that they are perhaps password protected?
Try Quickpic. Under its settings there is a browse menu where you can exclude certain folders.

You're mistaking two things for eachother.
A .nomedia file is a file. You can find one, for example, in the Android folder. It excludes the content of the folder it is located in, as well as any subfolders, from the MediaScanner/Indexing Service process. (Thus the solution for excessive Media battery usage). This excludes the files from the gallery, no matter the gallery setting.
Renaming a folder with .[foldername] does not require it to be called NoMedia, you can call it anything you want. This excludes the folder from apps that have the settings 'exclude folders starting with .' to hide the folder. Meaning you can also show the folders if you want.
Folders with a .nomedia file in it will not show up in the gallery or mediaviewer, but the files can still be opened the normal way from a file explorer.
I've excluded all folders with media in it except for the Alarms, Ringtones and Notifications folders (or the alarm/ringtone won't go off), and opening videos, pdf's and images is done by simply opening the file through a file explorer.
Basically, you can either make a .[foldername] folder and drop them all in there, or make a regular folder, drop all the images in there and copy a .nomedia file into it. The effect will be the same, except that you can choose to show or hide them if you use a .[folder]. .nomedia can not be disabled in the regular gallery. (It can in Quickpic.)
Hi,
Is there a program that allows me to get the full contents of a FTP server and saves this folders or files list?
I have a media player that takes some time start up. Instead of waiting, I'd like to be able to get the contents offline. I mean just see the names of the files or folders on my phone.
Thanks
Never mind, I've used telnet to do this.
Recently I was searching for a way to send apk to my friend, via whatsapp but since its directly not possible, I was looking for workaround. All Google posts linked a extra app, that combines our other extension file with jpg, so that whatsapp sees that jpg to send it. After being sent, recipient needs that same app, to use it, to extract the original file what we intended to send..., Since This isn't effective solution, due to new documents sending feature in Whatsapp, I thought of way and it works well on latest 2.16.97 (as on May 26- 2016) and wanted to share it. This is so simple solution that any Android power user can easily think of...
1. Go to file explorer and change the original app's extension to "txt"
Example: if you want to send a calculator android app, then if app's name would be like "calculator.apk". Rename that to "calculator.txt"
*I have tried other document formats ppt csv pdf etc, none of them expect "txt" extension works, I didn't try "rtf"..
Note: Dont append ".txt" to original file like example "calculator.apk.txt". Whatsapp refuses to accept these...
2. Share that renamed file with extension "txt" to your friend (Can use Share file from file explorer or Go to Whatsapp->contact->attachment->Documents->Browse to renamed txt file location. Works both ways)
3. Whatsapp will send it and your friend will receive that file at sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents
*The file can't be opened directly from whatsapp. If opened, only random characters will be seen..
4. Ask your friend to open File explorer and go to "sdcard/whatsapp/Whatsapp Documents" to spot your file. Then ask you friend to rename txt extension by original extension. Example: if calculator app is sent, "calculator.txt" should be renamed back as "calculator.apk"
5. Thats its!... Max file size of 16MB can be sent by this method...
Thanks for reading and give me a Thumbs up if this idea seems worthwhile to you...
