How to get offline Google Drive files on phone to update faster? - General Questions and Answers

Usually, the offline files on my phone do not update until I manually load them, close them, and reload them. I know it is not because my phone is in sleep mode because new files from my phone still get uploaded.

[Q] Problems with HTC locations app

Guys,
I have the following problem with HTC's "locations" app.
I was downloading some maps, and some are rather large (GBs). At somepoint my phone got switched off. When it switched on, I was notified that the downloads had not completed. So I select to continue. But the downloads immediately jump to pause and I get the download warning notification, telling me of the incomplete download.
I thought that this probably is related to corrupt on the map files that I trie dto download. Since these are supposed to be on the TF card (mini SD card, whatever you wanna call it), I cannot find them anywhere. Since its an unrooted phone (and i want to keep it that way), I cannot see if they are stored in the phone's internal memory, and I certainly do not want to go through a full reinstall of everything again by doing a factory reset.
Can anyone tell me how I can solve this problem?
is this an actual problem of the application (HTC Locations) or is it a problem with potentially corrupt downloads (in which case, where are they and how do I remove them), or could it be something else?
Can I uninstall HTC locations and reinstall it again, or does this just affect the app itself, not the maps?
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
K

Google Drive Question

I have the Google Drive app on several devices. It is very important to me. Last year it got shut down by Google for containing " contaminated" files which were just Excel files containing hyperlinks. Although the hyperlinks were perfectly safe my drive was frozen for some length of time then I had to remove the offending files for it to work again. I deleted them and eventually Drive got back to normal but it was a huge pita.
I have an old windows tablet which has the drive all on it containing those files. It hasn't been turned on in years so it isn't a problem. I would like to use it this weekend but I'm afraid it will update and put those files back to online Google drive from Google drive folder in tablet as soon as I turn it on. This will freeze my drive and I go through the huge hastle again.
When I shut off the old tablet it definitely contained those Google forbidden Excel files in the Google drive folder. If I turn it on will drive update to current status without those files or will it put them right back when folder updates to cloud freezing me out again? What is the easiest way to ensure that doesn't happen?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Boot to recovery and factory reset the device.
Or
Turn the device on in a place where there is no network to connect to, it won't update/upload/backup anything without a network connection. Use that time to turn off/disconnect all network settings/connections, then delete or uninstall whatever you need to get rid of, then reboot the device.

Frozen Screen; Retrieve Pictures?

Out of nowhere my S6 stopped working. Each time I restart my phone it gets stuck on the "LTE Plus" screen. I need to figure out a way to retrieve my pictures/videos. I didn't back them up. I checked my Samsung, Google, and One Drive accounts. Below is a list of things I can still do on my phone and things I've attempted. Let me know if you have any ideas.
1. I can soft restart my phone
2. I can restart it into download and bootloader mode
3. I can not start it up in safe mode
4. I wiped cache partition
5. I can connect it to my laptop via USB but it only shows as a bluetooth device. It does not show any options to open up files. The phone was not debugged prior to the phone breaking.
6. I've tried trial versions of Fone Lab and 2-3 other similar programs. Each time with no luck.
Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas. I really don't want to lose these pictures/videos. Thanks!

Stuck in safe mode, can't access data in Samsung Notes

About a year and a half ago, most of my Google Play apps needed to update, but I've accidentally tapped to uninstall them. The most stupid idea I could got, was to restart the phone in order to revoke that miss - since than, phone can't start normally. It always boot in the safe mode, no matter what I've tried. There's always pop-up after loading that says sth alike "there is something preventing your system to start normally. Please backup your data and do factory reset, yadyyada..." I've managed to transfer most files to PC, but I can't access 2 years worth of notes saved somewhere in Samsung Notes. According to this thread, they should be saved in \data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes but I can't access them, since Android Studio throws error "package not debuggable". I tried using ADB backup, but that will result in 1 KB file (empty), probably because Samsung Notes has parameter allowBackup="false" in its manifest. There was some effort to rewrite it, but mostly failed, since I can't use Linux commands on Windows. There is a chance, that the data is no longer here. All packages seen in Android Studio show size of 4 KB. But when i do space analysis using the files app after loading the safe mode system, it shows to house 11 GB of system data and 12 GB of apps - which I don't have access to.
Is there any way to either crack that Samsung Notes app, or to repair that corupted system? Maybe get some log to see, whats crashing the system? Last resort solution may be rooting it?
Thanks in advance for your help. Mark

how to get the photos to show in file explore differently

i have the a51 and when i connect it to the pc to get photos off the phone and paste them into a pc folder and open it in the file explorer i get small icons and i get the oldest photos first. when i connect my lg aristo and my oterh samsung that i do not recall teh models they open photos in file explorer with large icons and newest photos first.
so it kind of looks like i have to do some phone settings to make this happen. i tried win10 but they are telling me i need different apps etc. but my older phones do this so the a51 should do this as well. even the nokia does thes but with that phone i have to first copy all the photos into a folder first.
anyway is there a setting on the phone that tell the files to open large and new files first? the phone puts the date and a file number on the photos automatically.
also on a side note how do i stop the pc from giving me that warning triangle in the taskbar and if i click that it tells me the phone has been disconnected or stopped working. i have even use the safe to remove hardware to eject the phone and i still get that message and i do not get it for any other phones i would just unplug those old phones and be doen with it. this phone give me that message every time
