Just got the maxx today and there seems to be no file manager. Am I missing something?

So install one, it's rather simple..
Astro is free from the Play Store and works just fine.
The file browser is in the quick office app. Open it and tap the browse folder and it will show SD card. All user files are in there. I don't like it, but that's where they put it.

i found a new app on the market to save your apps.
it`s called "appsaver" which saved the apk`s on the
internal sd-card. you are able do bring them to the
external sd-card with copy and paste. it`s really easy.
the app is for free!
Everyone here already knows that app. What a empty post!

Not quite!
I am using Titanium Backup for this purpose and never knew something like this existed for free. Sure, my use of TB is far more complex than just extracting APKs so I won't repalce it, but I will recommend this app to some friends that wouldn't buy TB just to save apps.
Thanks michadreyer!
Im using supermanager for this. Also saves apk's

Thanks, I was looking for this!
I've used ASTRO before I encountered File Expert...
Both also does save APKs...
ES File Explorer is free and can do this too, along with a host of other features.
Simple question: since I have my wifi coming from my PC, can I somehow file share from phone to PC? Linda manager has a Network option, so I think this is possible.
Thanks.

Use Software data cable on the android market......it does just want u want to do....
I see samba and that's well and good to go from PC to phone, but I was interested in pulling up PC network from my phone. I haven't seen that option with any of these programs.

I haven't tried it, but ES file explorer has a network option as well. You'd likely have to know how to set up your computer so that it can "talk" to other computers, in this case your phone, on the network. It's not hard, and I think you could use windows network setup wizard to get you rolling. I'm a little rusty in that area unfortunately, of you don't use it you loose it.

Is that phone to PC? NOT PC to phone
My bottom line is that I want the option to access my computer from my phone.

So what exactly are you looking to access on your PC? If you want to access storage then there is sure to be an app that does that, which is what I would think ES can do, it looks like you have multiple settings for type, even looks like maybe an ad-hoc mode as well. Otherwise, if you're looking to control the PC, I think Team Viewer can do it, I never got around to setting it up PC to PC though but I would think it would work with the app.
I'm using a small FTP server on the phone. It's called SwiFTP. Does an amazing job.
I don't really have a specific purpose, I just want to know if the functionality exists. There has been times I download torrents with my phone, then I have to go plug in and transfer. I'd rather transfer wireless since I'm already using wifi from the PC.
Yea, I'm being lazy, but still.

have you tried teamview? it is basically a remote desktop connection on your phone.
But will that allow him to transfer files to his phone via the app?
WiFi file explorer...awesome app hands down love it

Also AirDroid in the Market will transfer via WiFi from phone to PC and PC to phone using your web browser on your PC.
I have File Expert, works great with PC to phone via FTP. But the program has to function to go from phone to PC.
Sure, sitting on my computer I can swap files back and forth. But on the phone all I can do with the program is turn on the file sharing, can't actually do the swapping from phone.

I use ES File Explorer. From my phone I can browse shared files on my PC. I can also copy files from my PC to my phone. Files can be shared via WiFi or Bluetooth.

So far it looks like ES does what's needed, since you made three.
So I've been looking in every file in my phone and I can't seem to find where vaulty hides the files. I saw on their website that there should be a folder that says vstdata-DONOTDELETE and I remember seeing this on my phone but now I don't see it. Maybe they changed their way of hiding the pictures and videos? Does anybody know?
Sdcard/DCIM/vault/pictures
That is were mine are stored.

Thank you sir. My SGS2 saved it in external card under DCIM. Not the internal. It's probably like that because I have AOKP.
Try this
Sdcard/DCIM/Vaulty/all images
Here there will be multiple files with extension *.vdata
Rename it to .jpg if image
And .3gp or .mp4 if video
I'm wonder what the best file explorer is......I'm stock rooted and it appears that I lost pics and music from my media card (which I physically removed from my device when I rooted), but it just may be hiding somewhere. I'm using X-Plore file app, which may not be showing me everything. Is there a better file explorer app to use?
Thanks in advance!

X-plore is great. Did you give it time for the media to get scanned in? Or have you tried an app like Rescan Media? It may be that your phone just hasn't "found" the files yet. Can you see the files by putting your card into a pc?
I rooted about a month ago and still trying to find these files.
I do not have an SD Reader for microsd that I can use in the computer, unfortunately. I'm hoping the files are still there - I don't see how they could have disappeared because I physically removed my card.

I'm a fan of Ghost Commander; if you've ever used Midnight Commander on a PC you'll find the interface really familiar. I've tried a few and so far GC is the one that holds my interest.

I like File Explorer.. that's the name of it. it's called FX in my app drawer.

Hello,
I created folder media/audio/ringtones and also notifications, and until now the ringtones in this folder were displayed in Google ringtone settings.
Now something happened and google doesn't show me them. Even with the app "business ringtones" I am not able anymore to set a ringtone.
Something happened, but I don't know what.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Matthias

The path is /system/media/audio/ringtones/
After copying your files, you need to chmod it to 644 using terminal or use a file manager to change its permission to rw-r-r and then reboot...
-Flowed from an IceCold Hammerhead!
/sdcard/ringtones/ put your files right here (.mp3 .ogg...) No need to use the system directory.
Then go to Settings > Sound > your new files should be there.
@vin4yak: the folder you say is on system, I ment the folder on sdcard.
And until now it worked very fine, I tried some alternative SMS apps, after I uninstalled them it doesn't work anymore.
@Primokorn: I have files in there, too, but even doesn't show.
I also deleted the cache from Google media storage and rebooted.

Try with other audio files.
Did you disable the media scan option?
I don't think that the media files are all corrupt.
I installed now sdfixtool, stopped and started media scan, cause I didn't know where to do this. But still only the standard ringtones.
Something's wrong here.

Seems I have to make a titanium backup my apps and reset the phone

Try Ringtone Maker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.herman.ringtone&hl=en
I finally reset my phone and it worked for one day.
After one day I had the same problem again. And also I couldn't choose my pictures to send e.g. with WhatsApp or in gallery.
Finally I deleted media data under settings -> apps -> all apps, and after I made a rescan with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.sdcard
Until now everything works fine
