How to stop file extension renaming - General Questions and Answers

As I transfer files from my computer (Win7) to phone (Z Ultra, Lollipop stock) files with .jpg extension are automatically being renamed as .jpeg. I don't understand why as Android apps seem to struggle with jpeg. I'm using ES Explorer's remote manager to transfer but I don't think that is the issue as I recall similar patter when done with USB cable some weeks ago. Is there a setting or other easy fix?

How do you use ES to transfer? FTP? Also the format .jpg is the same as .jpeg, so i don't see the problem

Remote Manager function. Android seems have to issues with .jpeg extension, some apps don't recognize as .jpg. For example, book Moon+ Reader for book covers.

These require installation on PC which I usually do not have permission to do. It's annoying in any case. These apps also want too much access to personal info like contacts and call logs, and require signing up to accounts.
I need the PC side to be as network location/drive or accessed from browser. No software, accounts, etc.
I tested over USB cable directly and it doesn't change the extension so it is ES Explorer that is doing it.

It doesn't need any sign up and installation dude.. If u just want to transfer data....
Download Airdroid from play store.... Then ask me what to do...

Use superbeam

My brother has emailed ES Explorer, hopefully they will fix the issue. ES Explorer is otherwise perfect.
Airdroid- transferred a file over browser interface. Drag & drop not supported (I have latest Firefox), can't select folders (only files), can't upload to SD card (only internal memory).
Superbeam- even worse than Airdroid, need to buy Pro version so I can change the directory!

And I should add Shareit was the worst. It overwrites the hotspot setting and creates an unsecured connection. Not only annoying, very unsafe!

What file manager are you using? Try ES File explorer from the Market.
P.S. : Are you using a file manager at all?? Or are you looking for the transferred apks in the app drawer? Trust me, i know a dude who was doing exactly that!!!

You can side load .apk s from the HTC desktop software . when you connect cancel sync and on the main window it has an application installer button just browse to the apk on your pc and click the button

You're right mate, but there is no reason he shouldn't be able to see apk files transferred to the sd card.
I believe that is a more fundamental thing that should be taken care of, rather than looking for a workaround to install apps. Don't you agree?

Of course mate ,just offering an alternative
And before his phone will let him he's gotta go Menu, Settings, Applications, and tick the Unknown Sources box.

See?
I had a hunch you weren't...
It's a very common mistake made by first time smartphone users. So don't worry about it. And BTW, read the post above about allowing non-market apk installs, without which you won't be able to install these apps from sd card.
Happy app-ing!!

[Tool] Use your external sd card for large files or game data

Only a few days with my note 10.1 and I'm already out of space (internal memory) due to large game data. The same thing happened to me with the galaxy tab plus earlier this year. Back then I used folder plug and my problem was solved but it seems that in my current situation folder plug doesn't work. That's when I heard of directory bind. I gave it a try and BINGO. The setup is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. I would recommend it to anyone who (just like me) runs out of internal storage on their GN 10.1. You can download directory bind from here
How to:
1) Install it of course then run it
2) Menu then add new entry
3) Target (where the file/folder you want to move is). Long press and it will give you a list of directories to choose from.
4) Source [where you want to put it (somewhere in your external sd I believe)]. Use /mnt/extSdCard/ instead of the one that is there by default.
5) Save
6) Enjoy!
NB:1) The disk icon before your link should be green if not just click on it. If it's red that means something is not right, check your directories again
2) Your device has to be rooted

Hi there,
Tried to use it with Dolphin browser, in order to change the default download directory to the external SD card. As Dolphin itself can't.
No matter what I try, it just makes my downloaded files disappear from my browser's view (ES explorer).
They actually are somewhere, as I can run them from the download-window from the Dolphin browser, but ES explorer can't even find them.
Too bad.
Would have been a nice work around.
Regards,
***EDIT***
As soon as I unbind both the directories, the files reappear. In the sdcard directory that is (not etxSdCard)...
***EDIT 2***
No matter what explorer I use.
Don't use this method. Bugs many amd last files as well.
Consider swap method by other post

That's weird i don't have such an issue with it. Did you double check your directories? I use root explorer with no issue at all (although sometimes player pro seems to show duplicates...)

[Q] Where does Huawei Ascend Y300 store "Notes"?

I've got a Huawei Ascend Y300 with stock firmware for Y300-0151. The android version is 4.1.1. The phone is NOT rooted.
I've been using the built-in "Notes" app but now have a small problem: I can't find where in storage the actual notes are kept!
I've tried using ES File Explorer to look through various folders but don't see anything. Perhaps the notes are stored in some
protected area that is accessible only if the phone is rooted? Does anyone know where/how to get to the notes?
The reason I'd like to access the notes directly is to transfer them to my PC so I can use a search function. The built-in app
doesn't have a search or even a share/transfer feature!
Are there any apps that will be able to access the notes without requiring root?
I dont think this requires root, if this mobile has phone storage than you should look in it not in sdcard if mot than lookout the data folder as well as documents or notes folder or maybe you can change directory in app...!

I've looked and looked, found nothing. So I copied over everything from the phone memory to a PC using ES File Explorer and also
with AirDroid. I then used a program called Agent Ransack to search the contents of all files for keywords I know I used in the saved notes.
Nothing turned up!
I tried searching for filenames as well, such as *.db in case the notes get stored in a database format. Still nothing.
I doubt the notes are compressed or encrypted. My buest guess is there is some protected hidden android storage that I cannot
access...and that it would require root.
Does anyone know exactly what folder and file extension the notes would be in for the Huaweii Y300?
So no luck yet? Have the same Problem

Hi,
on my Y300 notes are stored in internal memory under /data/data/com.android.notes/files if I remember, they're in SQLite format, the file is called note_pad.db.
So you need root access to copy from this folder ... I presume, you can't access browsing from the home folder.
Hope this helps

Search maybe, there are already a couple threads on this... Seems to be broken in all variants except Indian retail firmware.
A few people have noted hit and miss success using ES File Explorer, but nothing consistent. I'm sure Moto will fix it in a future update.
