Thanks for helping me out if you can....searched all over but didn't find anything on this specific topic.
I came from Blackberry just a few weeks ago and it was as simple as connecting the BB to my PC, going into the SD card, finding video I recorded on the BB...watching it on my HTPC and or simply saving it on my PC.
I was curious if it's at all possible to record an HD vid on the Sensation, connect it to a PC...save it and/or play vid?? Obviously without a MHL dongle.
I know the vids are on my sd card....but I cant find them? Or it seems they are encrypted or something. I searched for .3gp...file size... etc. Nothing?
Is it not as simple as it should be...like BB was?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the reply....
Thought I checked that and every other folder....I'll look again.
Sorry for the noobish question....This is driving me a little batty. Should be super simple....
Oh good gawd....
THANK YOU!
Need more coffee before I post silly questions.
Thanks a bunch...they are there
FYI DCIM stands for Digital Camera IMages & it's the folder that pics are stored in almost anything these days. Take a look at your digital camera/DSLR

Is there a way to automatically store recorded video/pics or any other data to your external micro sdhc yet?
P.S. If there's a thread on this already please point me to the right direction

Yeah, just click on settings, (the gear wheel icon when in picture mode), and go to storage and choose SD card.
Ah! Thank you, sir
Double thanks, great find.
Yeah, that's a pretty important setting; video recording on Full HD takes about a MB/sec. I did a 4-minute video yesterday and it was a quarter of a GB, so I was very happy it was going to my SD card!

What about doubletwist airsync into sd card? Searched but so far no luck. Any tricks/apps or something out there?
Wirelessly. What is the fastest way folks have figured out how to do this short of removing the memory card and putting it into your PC?
Tried dropbox....SLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOW
Trying Google Docs Uploading now... SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
Tried Sugarsync... SLOOOOOW
Tried emailing ....... Attachments too large....
Seems like Android still hasn't figured out a fast efficient way to get photo's from the phone to your desktop...
sucks.
Plug your phone into your computer and select mass storage on your phone. Then access your phone on your computer and your photos from your camera should be in the DCIM folder.
Try to Google your question and you will find many pages that will help with your problem.

I also use Google + to upload all of my photos to Picasa automatically as they are taken.

I said WIRELESSLY...
thanks anyway.
I also said FASTEST....
Also Google+ limits you to 8 pics...
Also..tried Picassa too... SLOOOOOOOOW
The problem here is that despite having 4G on this thing...photo transfer wirelessly is still obscenely slow.
Selected 10 pics from my gallery to upload to Google Docs at 10:45am......over an hour later and it's just now finishing the 5th photo...

You did not say wirelessly originally . You should GTFO if you can't be friendly to people who try and help you with questions that you should be searching for on your own anyway.

Had you left the "you should try Google first" out of your reply, I would have considered it a fairly friendly/helpful response.
That extra line that you added was unnecessarily snarky. And if you'd bothered to check my history here, you'd have realized i'm no simpleton to how things operate on XDA.

This part of your post indicated to me that you were under the impression that there was no way to transfer photos in a fast way in the Android OS. I was pointing out that there is a fast way to do this and that search would help. You also mentioned pulling your SD card out; you should almost never need to do this...

Carrying around a wire to tether to your PC is in no way efficient. Arguably fast...but definitely not efficient. My statement stands.

No worries. Same here.
I just get testy with a lot of the "search first" or "google it" replies when a question is asked is all.
Ultimately a healthy message board does require a good dose of civility, and I gotta remember that it's best to respond in a civil manner even if I perceive something to not be civil. My bad.
At any rate, check this out.

I've downloaded now I have to figure out how to use it. I don't know much....actually i don't know anything about FTP servers etc....looks like I have some reading to do.
Would you happen to know how to use this app? I've tried entering the server address into my browser (Chrome) but it's not working, won't connect. I'm on my work computer and created the FTP serve over 3G.

Ok..that app didn't work so well, never could connect on Chrome...but THANKS to you for pointing down that path because I found THIS app that actually worked VERY well! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorer&feature=search_result
Much easier than tethering via a cable or pulling out the SD card, and much faster than uploading to Google+, picassa, etc...
Hey guys I would just like to share this wonderful app because I'm so overjoyed with it! It recovers any file, I guess. I accidentally deleted the media folder in my SD Card, but I recovered ALL of my music. Just click the DEEP SCAN option to be sure. BTW, it even works on your PC's recycle bin.
It's free BTW. Here's the link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/
A very good program to have. I wish I had it a couple months ago when I accidentally deleted some videos.

This will go through your SD card anything you have media stored on and pull deleted photos..
Good tool to run if you are sellin a used SD card and wanna make sure everything was formatted right... Best way is to either run a eraser program on it to go double kill.
Just copy 3 sets of games you have installed on your pc to your sd card max the sucker out and format it will get rid of everything.... lol..
good to have in the toolbox, and free!
very nice. I needed this a couple days ago, maybe I can still get those files back I have to see how it works..
That's the program ive used for a while now. Works every time. I have always managed to recover everything (within hours of deletion).
Question: Is there a program similar to that for Android phones/tablets
Thanks for the info! This can surely come in handy.
Thanks! This should be included with every computer, phone, or device with user controlled storage. But if this makes you paranoid about deleting stuff, just use cCleaner with the 7 pass option.. or 15 if you feel like spending 8 hours to delete 100mb's.
thank you!

Is there a way that you are able to recover deleted pictures from our phone when it is connected via USB to a computer?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
No. sadly, if you deleted pics through your phone they're gone for good. Pics are the one thing that is automatically saved to the sd card. If you have any pics (from the camera) you can find them on your sd card in a folder called "DCIM". Use ES file explorer or your computer to find the folder.

Dropbox is great for this...I'm experimenting with Google+ right now. With what I'm taking pictures of these days, the worst that happens is everyone sees a "problem area" of my hotel that I'm getting maintenance or housekeeping to work on. So far, it's keeping everything private and I'm not having any issues with upload.

yes, it is, just with a proper data recovery software, like Jihosoft Photo Recovery for Mac. Stop using you phone and connect it to computer via USB, start this program, you will be able to recover deleted pictures from your phone with ease.

This is because "deleting" something on an sd card just marks it ok to over-right, but does not break the actual logic gates in the card. this means the data is still there, until something else is put in it's place.

[Q] MUSIC "unable to play this type of audio" 128 gig micro sd is the problem maybe?
iv added around 10 gig of music and it plays at first then it says unable to play this type of audio. has anyone had this problem ?
is it my micro sd card ? its not a named brand or anything. could it be something else ?
I haven't had any issues, do you have another SD card just to try? And the files did play on your computer?

this is weird and a pain. also some albums are not in correct order in terms of the track listings but that i can live with compared to unable to play.

through the pc and through settings on the phone.
iv googled this alot and found no way to fix this. there must be a way.
Seems simple to troubleshoot here. Simply plug device into computer, copy a handful of songs or ones you know that have issues to the phone's hard drive, unplug device from computer, take sd card out of device, now try playing the songs off the device's hard drive. If they play just fine, well then obviously the sd card is the issue. This is the first step i would take at least to figure this out.
Also try using the internal storage and see if they will play from there.
