I have been racking my brain and can't for the life of me come up with a solution to my problem. I have the unlocked OP8 completely stock. All I want to do is copy my images from the phone to my Widows 10 PC. Something I have done with other phones in the past, shouldn't be a big deal, right? First I tried to simply plug my phone in, enable usb file transfer, and copy the files, and it seems to go like it's copying correctly until it is unable to copy files in "MyCollections" from when I tried to do some sorting of pictures that were from specific holidays or events. It will copy the DCIM folder fine.
My initial thought was that perhaps there was some kind of permissions complication since the collections were made with the oneplus gallery. So I used the OnePlus Switch app. I figured that since the app is made to make backups, it should be able to make a backup and then I simply copy that to my computer. Apparently that too is wrong and it fails to copy once it gets into the "MyCollections" folder.

Please disregard the "New Folder" naming when I was initially copying the files over folder by folder. That folder was the date and I was trying to see if the files would copy before typing it all out. For the purpose of drag n drop it would be irrelevant.
In a last ditch Google search of ideas to try, I tried to use ADB in an administrator command prompt to copy the files with the command "adb pull /sdcard/opbackup" on my PC. Only to have that too fail
"
pull: /sdcard/opbackup/MobileBackup/Data/2020-06-22-230448/Video/Pictures/MyCollections/Balloon Fest 2019 /VID_20190810_211137.mp4 -> ./MobileBackup/Data/2020-06-22-230448/Video/Pictures/MyCollections/Balloon Fest 2019 /VID_20190810_211137.mp4

"
I browsed to the video it was complaining about, opened it in VLC media player on my pc without a problem. I'm having this phone replaced, and for most of these pictures/videos I have no other places they are stored.
I really thought just copying the backup to my pc would solve my problem, but seems I can't actually determine what the real problem -is-. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. I have less than 24 hours before I have to either get the pictures copied, or lose them.
Hey there,
Please follow this:
1. setting
2. about phone -- tap build several times until "you are now a developer" comes up.
3. tap back arrow and go into systems.
4. tap developer options and scroll down an enable usb debugging and tap OK.
5. plug your phone and usb cable into your PC.
6. Pull down notiffication menu and tap on android system -- tap again and select file transfer.
7. Provided that all of your usb drivers are installed in your system, dialog box will come up and select your op8 -- open files.
I hope this helps provided that I understood your situation.

Unfortunately the fact that I issued ADB commands to the phone would mean I had usb debugging enabled and it had the drivers installed correctly. The problem is not starting the copying of the pictures/videos, the problem is that it fails both using copy and paste like you described and even trying to use ADB to pull the whole backup folder from the phone that way. There seems to be some kind of complication that I used the gallery to create the groups of pictures "My Collections". It will copy the unsorted pictures and videos from the DCIM folder just fine. But there's close to 800 pictures I have sorted in the My Collections that for whatever reason, it won't let me copy no matter how I try.

Aw hell.....
I don't suppose you could upload your collection to google drive or some cloud service first and do what you need to before you lose your data? Thoughts?

Since I am about out of time I opted to copy what I can, and subscribe to a year of Google Plus to get plenty of cloud storage to back everything up. So most of my pics are copied. And what it wouldn't let me copy from the "My Collections" will be mixed in with all the other pics in the cloud. Figured the $20 /year wasn't a bad price to pay. Still would have preferred to keep them backed up locally - but I'll make do with what I can.
Hey, if you still having this issue I managed to fix it because same thing happened to me.
The issue is that some folders have space at the end of their names for some reason, if you look at your error - Balloon Fest 2019 . There is a space after 2019 - "Balloon Fest 2019 ". Just remove the space in the folder name and it should fix it. Do the same thing for any further errors.

So while reading TheDudeOfLife's thread about his 1.5 cupcake builds, I've noticed alot of confusion about re-naming downloaded zip files for the purpose of flashing. I've seen it elsewhere as well. So I did a little tutorial thingy for those that might still be confused about the file extension stuff. This is pretty basic and maybe dumbed down quite a bit for some of us, but I'm pretty sure it'll clear up some of the confusion. I run Vista 64b Ultimate, so I'd guess the process is the same for all Vista versions. Can't confirm for XP or anything else. If anyone see's anything that needs clarifying, feel free.
This is my folder of downloaded phone stuff. The first picture shows what zip files look like with file extensions hidden-

}
This picture shows what zip files look like with file extensions showing-
Now, if your downloaded file looks like those in the first picture, and you plan to flash it with Alt-S, right click the file, hit rename and type update. That's it, nothing more, nothing less.
If your downloaded file looks like those in the second picture, right click the file, hit rename then type update.zip. Make sure the .zip is at the end.
Now in the case of D00ders builds, you have to right click, hit rename and remove just the .signed part. When the window pops up saying "changing a files extension may make it unstable", ignore it, hit ok. The file icon will change to a zip file icon according to however your folder view options are set.
Lastly, you can change file extensions hidden/showing at- control panel>folder options>view tab>hide extensions for known file types. By the default the box is checked in Vista.
Good tutorial!
In Windows XP, you can show the file extensions in Windows explorer by going to Tools/folder options/view/ and unchecking "hide extensions for known file types".
I have no idea why M$ decided that it's better not to know what file types you are looking at. That was just plain dumb!
Well some people are just plain dumb. There really isn't much need for normal users to change the extension of a file. MS likes to protect their dumb users.
The default setting "Hide extension of known file types" may well be the most stupid thing in modern computer history. There's no end to what confusion and problems it has caused in uncountable ways.
What if I send a malicious executable with the name "sexygirl.bmp.exe" - It'd show up as "sexygirl.bmp" - and you know what would happen when that reaches a teenage boy (or girl, if of that inclination)...

Exactly! I had wondered why it was working to send a .bmp.exe file to people and they would actually be dumb enough to run it. Now I know, they think it's just an image file, so it must be safe, and they click on it.
ok wat ive done
1.downloaded .8
2.right clicked opened with winrar
3.installed into sd card
4.renamed it update.zip
5.booted up into system recovery
6.alt + s
cant open /sdcard/update.zip
ive done this a million time before and it always worked, now i dont know what the hell is going on
You don't have to open anything with winrar. Just rename the file.....
Now in the case of D00ders builds, you have to right click, hit rename and remove just the .signed part.

Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wiirecords.chrometophone
This app is entirely based on Chrome to Phone! It has the same features (and bugs, lol) as the original with some additional cool features! The original app is awesome and it deserves all the credits, this app is only adding more features!
Browser to Phone lets you process incoming links virtually anyway you want it:
* download anything to your phone, instead of just opening the link
* convert file to other formats (i.e. send a bmp link, convert it to jpg and then download it)
* apply wallpapers/ringtones (i.e. send an image link and apply it as wallpaper)
* open specific apps (i.e. send an appbrain link and open android market automatically)
* more and more!
There are plentiful preloaded processes to use. Send suggestions about new processes/commands by e-mail and if feasible, they will be added on the next update!
You may create custom processes for your needs, define when they should run and what they will do. As this is not a simple task, you may search the web for custom processes done by other users and import them.
Download Processes: http://www.thiagorosa.com.br/android/browsertophone/files.php
You need to install a browser Extension on your computer to send links to your phone. Each browser has its own extension and they can be downloaded from:
Google Chrome: http://chrome.google.com/extensions
Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtophone

How does the REPEAT command work exactly?
I'm trying to create my own process and I need to wait a few seconds between commands, is there a WAIT (or similar) command?
I cannot seem to find the Chrome extension, would you help?
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search?category=ext&q=Browser+to+Phone
rhaige,
REPEAT has three parameters: regex, count, wait
The purpose of this command is to REPEAT the next command until the REGEX is returned. It will repeat COUNT times with a WAIT seconds interval between them.
tampiss,
It is the same extension from chrome to phone: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco
Im trying it with the original extension, yet I always get error connection message. Normal Chrome to phone app works. Where can be a problem?
Where do you get this error message?
Is it on the android app? is it while connecting to your account?
or is it on the chrome extension?
thanks!
Yes, Im getting this message on Android app. I have just tried to uninstall Chrome to phone app and nothing changed. Even worse I have installed it back and now I can not connect on the official app too lol.
The same is happening to me now, it is probably an intermittent issue!
tampiss,
I was able to connect today! Please try again!
thanks!

Unfortunatelly not. The official app works again yet yours says the error while connecting. Im running Cognition ROM on Samsung GS2 if it helps.
tampiss,
I just tested again and both apps connect successfully!
There isn't any difference at all between the two apps during the connection. The only difference on Browser To Phone is that it processes links after they are received on the phone, nothing else!

Hi. It works great. I can not seem to find the pro version in Android market. How can I purchase it? Thank you.
Never mind. I found out by adding custom profile
Ive purchased it. Thank you.
Cool! Thanks!!! =D
Hi,
- are there anywhere any custom processes findable on the web?
- how could I make simple process to parse clipboards content sent from my web browser?
- where are the files (such jpg, gif etc) downloaded? I can not seem to find them on the phone
- please, how to process the apk download? I have created the process, yet I would like to start the instalation as soon as its downloaded? any hints for the needed intent?
thank you am really enjoying playing with this cool app
1) i didn't find any yet... but you can export yours and let other people use it
2) what would you like to do exactly?
3) they are stored on the sd card, inside the download folder
4) you should use this:
action=android.intent.action.VIEW
type=application/vnd.android.package-archive
data=the apk file (example: file:///mnt/sdcard/download/abcde.apk)
This APK process should be similar to "Image to Wallpaper"!
Ok to the point 4. If i do not know the exact name of downloading apk, what should i use for data in the intent? Any replace or variable trick?
Edit: i got it working yay
The input will always be concatenated on the DATA field. So you probably don't need to do anything!
The input will be the output of the previous command. If the previous command is a HTTP_DOWNLOAD, the output will be where the file was downloaded. After that you should replace /mnt by file:// (check the Image to Wallpaper process)
Did you notice the unit test feature? (menu)
You can easily test without having to actually send the link to the phone. You setup a unit test link (http://www........./yourapp.apk) and you can long press each command to test it!
Yep I have noticed all of that and tested.
I may have another question
When downloading img from Chrome I always get the img downloaded as xxxx.jpg(125x210) which stands for the img size. Well when I look at the Chrome tab I see it in the title. Unfortunatelly it is downloaded and named as above so that to open the downloaded img I have to rename it first.
Any hint for replace or solution would be great.
Thank you.
Edit: I have found a bug. When sending any text it has a wrong encoding. I use special chars such ěřč yet they come to phones clipboard as mess.
About the bug, there is an open issue on chrometophone: http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=318
Hummm, about the extension....
I think I will have to update the app to remove the dimensions...
For now you could create a REPLACE, something like this (i didnt test it):
Regex: \.jpg.*
Replacement: .jpg
Anyway, i will fix it on the next version!
I am almost getting to the point of blowing this entire thing off out of pure RAGE. WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD!
Now where to start...
My LG Optimus V via Virgin Mobile has been having every problem in the book lately. I have retrieved a new one from Virgin itself, so that should take care of the problems with calling and whatnot.
However, there are a few pretty major problems with the old one. Okay, QUITE a few.
Here is a list of my old phone's problems:
SD card slot will not read anything
Phone will not connect to computer via USB
Phone's Bluetooth is not recognized by computer ("Unable to get Bluetooth FTP Remote Folder content. Please check that your device is turned on and working properly.")
Phone will at times say my memory is almost full when at other times it says there are 8 more megabytes left
Phone's keypad will disappear in-call and will not return, making it impossible to check voicemail or dial extensions
I have installed the drivers direct from LG. I have tried booting in recovery. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling those drivers. I have tried booting/rebooting with all kinds of random patterns to the point that my headache has amplified. I have tried to hack the connection settings with an SQLite app. I don't even see an option for USB connections except debug mode. I have tried Bluetooth through Total Commander. Absolutely nothing I find is working to get me anywhere.
For the record: My computer is an ASUS laptop with an i7 processor and Windows 7. I have tried this same USB cord with my previous phone (a Samsung Captivate that also has issues) and it works fine. Also, my phone charges through the USB port, but it isn't recognized by my computer.
Given this entire list of problems, there are a few things that are suddenly becoming impossible to do since the backup routes are blocked off. Firstly, I want to transfer my data to my new phone so it's like nothing happened. Now, this is more a "want" than "need" but it certainly would be nice. Therefore, I need to get my USB setup working. I have Googled extensively for answers... and haven't found any that work. Which is ridiculous because I feel like I'm in an extreme minority... because the answers are working for others.
Eventually, I unpack ADB and...

Great. Just bleeping great.
Second, I need to unroot my phone before sending it to Virgin. I don't want to get in trouble with them. So once I have my data backed up, I need to work on reverting the phone to stock - a factory reset and an unroot. That is impossible without being able to connect to my PC. Like... I have these saved but can't start the operation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27670666&postcount=8
http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...uide-100-stock-lg-optimus-v-all-versions.html
See, I have found plenty of answers for each individual problem, but everything tends to overlap. I have completely confused myself. I am getting a headache from all of this new terminology to me and all of these different answers...
The first step should be trying to figure out why the phone isn't connecting to the computer. That may resolve a slew of other issues and allow me to run ADB. But I'm fully prepared for that not to get me anywhere.
What can I do? Where should I begin? Is there anything that's even possible with this mess? Anything to go on would be greatly appreciated! And feel free to ask me any questions you have about it - I will do my best to answer
you mentioned that your phone is rooted, and I suppose that you have recovery, so try this, connect phone to pc trough usb, boot into recovery, go to mounts and mount usb and see if your phone is recognized by pc(try LGMDP and if it does, update it, but you must have ADB enabled in phone settings development) and pop up the window with sd card content

So I used Samsung Smart Switch to change from my s7 edge to the s8+ which I absolutely love. However there is one annoyance, in Instagram and snapchat when importing from gallery it shows all my pictures in random order instead of chronological order, it's almost like it's reversed in snapchat and completely random in Instagram. Anyone else have this issue?

Yep everytime i switch phones this happens. New photo taken with the phone should be on top tho but any old photos will be randomly thrown together.
Did this to me as well but all my images are stored on my SD card and I just simply transferred between phones. Maybe it has something to do with the order in which it read the files in memory to create the cache that causes the change in order.

No way to fix it. Atlest with all the phones ive had i havent found a way.
However new photos will be on too from this point on.
Found this solution in a Samsung Forum:
"Theory behind photos date"
If you did not change the file name it should be written in a way which indicates the year, day and month as well as the precise hour and minute when it was take. This applies to all kind of photos (from every single camera, not only phone ones) and to screenshots, but does not apply to whatsapp photos since only the year, day and month is indicated in the name followed by 000xx where xx indicates in which order you received the photos sent on the same day.
Methods to fix the photo date
Both methods i will show you embed metadata files into the photo, so it will never change the date if it is moved between devices or sd cards!
Method 1:
You can, if you have windows 10 photos program in your pc look at the name of the photo and click on the 3 vertical dots at the top right hand side of the pc screen and then click on file info. The date is now shown at the left of the picture and you can permanently modify that by hand. If you have many photos to modify use method 2. Method 1 is good if you have a few photos to edit or you have to edit a video date, for the other use case go to the notes at the end.
Method 2:
The program i personally use is EXIF date changer* you can dowload it from the developer website here , it should work on windows XP, vista, 7, 8.1, 10. As you can see they offer a free version and a paid version, the free version allow you to fix unlimited amount of photos without having more nieche features, so it is more than enough for what you need to do, so dowload the free version unless you want to support the developer or you need the pro features.
*i want to specify that i have no affiliation with the developer and that i am suggesting their app because i use it myself and it works perfectly. there are other programs which do the same thing if you like others more you can use them.
After you have dowloaded and installed EXIF date changer on your pc move all the photos from your sd card into a folder on you desktop (you can now delete all the photos from the sd card, but i highly recommend you not to delete the desktop copy till you have verified at the end of the procedure everything has gone well, that folder is your only backup!).
Step 1: choose with the button marked with 1 in the photo the folder which contains your pictures* the destination folder will automatically become a folder called adjusted which is created by the program and placed into sourced folder, you can leave it as it is or you can change it if you want, this is your personal preference.
Step 2: in the time difference page (2) select the voice set time/date from (3) and then date in filename (4).
*when choosing the folder there are different scenarios: if your folder hierarchy is like DCIM with inside camera and screenshot folders, the app will look for pics in the DCIM camera but not in the folders inside so it will process no photos, you must choose a folder which has photos directly in it, the photos in subfolders will not be processed and you will have to repeat the process manually afterwards!

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3: click on options (5) and the only think marked should be "Set file date to taken date" this will ensure than the photo date will be embedded into metadata with the same date shown in the filename and will avoid strange conflicts with some gallery apps which read file date and not taken date. Also remember NOT to mark "use file created date to taken date". There is another option pre marked which you should unmark which is "rename files to"**
**rename files to date option is useful if you have a few photos which have a name modified by you like "photo of mark" but have metadata and so show the correct date of when it was taken. I sugget to tailor use that option singularly on those kind of photos so the date is written in the file name and in case the metadata gets lost you have a backup, however when using the program to bulk change date of incorrect photos i would not advise to do that because it will add that to the name of all pics (which already have the date written in it) and it could be annoying. So use that function only on pre selected groups of photos with the overmentioned issue.
Step 4: check that in the advanced, privacy, filters and upgrade to pro everything is turned off.
Step 5: Hit process photos and wait for it to finish.
Step 6: After it finishes click on open folder or manually navigate indicated in destination folder in Step 1. You can rename that folder as you like (for example if you want it to be the camera folder of the phone rename it DCIM) and transfer it to your phone/sd card.
Step 7: check if all the photos are ok and there are no strange things going on with the date, if something is wrong delete the destination folder (indicated in step 1) and do all the process again. Again DO NOT DELETE THE UNTOUCHED PHOTO FOLDER ON YOUR PC TILL YOU VERIFY EVERYTHING IS OK BECAUSE IT IS YOUR ONLY BACKUP.
At this point all your photos date has been fixed!
Notes:
From my personal experience the photos with no date in filename are not modified by the program so if they have metadata it is not modified (if you marked what is indicated in step 3) and they will be fine, again cosider doing it for those photos only indicated in step 3 **.
If a photo keeps having the same behaviour after this process it is because it has not metadata and no date indicated in filename, so nothing can be automated. The date cannot be recovered via the file, but if you remember when you shot it you can permanently change with method 1.
I hope to have helped everyone!

How's the transfer speed? Last time I used it it was using bluetooth for the transfer and it barely broke 100kbps lol

I admit I didn't look at the speed, but I regularly send files to my PC or vice versa from my PC to my P7P and it is almost instantaneous.
Really fast
I read the news report about Nearby Share Beta for Windows Release...
It's a beta release. I don't do betas. To me, a beta release is nothing but bugs and trouble, and being neither a cellphone nor a computer geek, I don't need the aggravation.
Also, I haven't started to figure out Blue Tooth.
It appears that I therefore won't be able to copy files to my P7P but...
somewhere along the line my P7P has a photo that I must have transferred from my PC, so I need to take a look at that.
Sounds like your cord or port isn't working correctly, try a different cord and/or port. This happened to me and I just plugged into a different port and never had a problem since.
I finally figgered out how to transfer files back and forth between my computer and the P7P. Then I wrote down the exact procedure so I won't forget.
And you're not going to share what worked, in case someone else has a similar problem?
Oops - forgot the procedure
I wanted to include images in this, but I haven't gotten that far with my P7P yet. So here is how I set my P7P up and how I transfer photos back and forth:
TRANSFERING FILES BETWEEN COMPUTER AND PIXEL 7
Configure the P7P:
Turn the phone and the computer on.
Using a 24-pin USB-C cable, connect the P7P to any USB-2 or USB-3 port on the computer. Be sure all 24 connector pins are present at each end of the cable. Not all USB-C cables have 24 wires. If the computer does not have a USB-C connector, use a USB-C to USB-2 adapter.
From the P7P Home screen, tap "Settings". A "Settings" menu should appear.
Tap "Connected devices". A "Connected devices" menu should appear.
Under "Other devices", tap "USB /file Transfer". If "USB - Charging this device" appears, you can tap that. A USB Preferences menu appears with "USB" centered on the next line.
NOTE: "USB File transfer" may appear instead of "USB - Charging this device". In that case, just tap "USB File transfer".
A "USB Preferences" menu should appear.
Under "USB controlled by" tap "This device". Under "Use USB for", tap "File transfer / Android Auto".
Now open Windows Explorer on the computer. You should see "Pixel 7" or "Pixel 7 Pro" and a cellphone icon along with the drive list. You can now transfer files using the following procedure.
Transfer the Files:
Start the computer, open Windows Explorer, connect the USB-C cable to the computer, and start the P7P. You should hear the usual "bloop-de-bloop" from the computer, and the P7P's Home screen should appear.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the blue "Pixel 7 Pro" icon. A menu should appear and you can now move/copy files back and forth.
I transfer between Windows Explorer and "Pixel 7 Pro\Internal shared storage\DCIM".
If you enable developer options you can set default usb to file transfer and skip a few steps.
