Hi Guys,
I need your favor, thing is that I have many dead pixel in my phone and i spoke to mobile shop about replacement, they agreed to replace my phone but it should be in the original status. Unfortunately i have deleted all folders in my SD card, especially htc default "my photos" and "music files". For the warranty purpose I have to return my phone same like when I bought it. Could someone please copy these folders (my photos and Music or MP3) for me and put it here? thanks to all for your kind favor.

Was that in latin?

you don't return the SD card, just the phone. if they're gonna swap out everything, packaging included, just make sure to open the new box, give them the SD card in that, & replace it with yours

It is not possible here in swiss, Firstly I have to return my complete phone box to them and they will send it to their service department then they will give me a new box in a couple of days. Therefore I need these two folders as soon as possible.

I am from Switzerland, too, and I have bought and unbranded Sensation from InterDiscount. I assume yours was also unbranded, or at least the folder contents are the same for branded and unbranded phones. I am right now uploading the two folders (DCIM and Music) to my webspace. The file is 90 MB, so it's gonna take a little while. You should be able to download the ZIP file in about half an hour here:
http://web243.pluto.ibone.ch/sensation_sd.zip
Please report back once you have successfully downloaded the file so that I can delete it.
EDIT: Online now.

I copy past it all to an folder on Harddisk, and if i need it again I copy Past it back to the SD Card.
You can use 2 SD Readers too, but it would really slow this way I think.

Hey guys:
I've got tons of comicbooks on my storage card that keeps showing up as individual folders in my picture gallery. I know I could drop a "no media" file in the main folder to stop it, but then my other apps wont read anything in that folder as well correct? Is their any way to exclude the comicbook folder from the gallery?
thanks

call me crazy, but I have a feeling the easiest solution is to create a .nomedia file and put it in the folder you want to hide.... ooooor I could be 100% wrong.

This does not solve your problem, but may be an alternate solution. I use a gallery replacement called QuickPic. Inside of QuickPic you can choose which folders are hidden so you only see the ones you want.

I've heard of QuickPic. But I really like the stock Gallery. And if I put a no media file in that folder,, my comicbook reader apps wont see the files either right?
Actually, all you have to do is rename the folder or file and put a "." at the start of the name. So a folder called "my_pron" renamed ".my_pron" won't show up
It's probably worth noting that you should do the rename on your tab and not from your PC, I had problems with it not working when I did it via my PC, that's why I mention it. I used Astro File manager and it works just fine.

It's a program designed to be more along the lines of hiding naughty things, but it would allow you to move all your comics into a side gallery type section, plus once their there you can subdivide them into their own folders AGAIN so that you have individual comics in mini-galleries, with sorting by name or date possible to make for easy ordering.

Noteworthy item is that with the EI22 update yesterday, my app got wiped with the rest of my phone, but upon re-installing it and going through new-startup steps it found the SD card data from my previous installation - yay SD card!

I have a app similar to this called Hide & Sneek. But I have to unhide pics everytime I need to use it. Will Keep safe allow me to hide the comics just from the Gallery , but let them be used in the Combook reader?

lol. Not worried bout the porn pics. But when I have to scroll through the gallery to find the folders my real pics are in, its kinda annoying. See the attached.
Hi XDA!
I realise that I'm new here, so I may not get listened to, but I've been using smartphones for a while and this has always been an annoyance for me.
Currently, my internal storage (internal sd as some like to call it), is full of config, backup and other files placed there by app developers. I have a folder called AussieWeatherRadar, one called Cut the Rope, and one called rammanager, just to name a few.
As I have a bit of OCD, I like to keep my internal memory looking tidy, but how is this possible with so many folders, none of which conform to any particular standards?
I am suggesting the following: App developers should use the /apps/ folder, or a similar folder on the sd card to store their data. This way, the user's SD card does not look cluttered, but the data is all still there.
So please, app developers, here my plea! Please use the /app/ directory!
Do you have any comments or suggestions on this? Please comment!
Thanks,
John
TL;DR: App developers should use the sdcard/app/ folder for their junk/config/backup files so that sdcard/ looks tidy.
Second the sentiment.
Third.

Developers *HAVE* a default location to place their data if they need to store in external storage. Google dictates for it to be in /sdcard/Android/data
I have made an app that creates in terms an init.d script that auto removes these folders on boot, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Developers wanting to promote their apps create folders with, honestly nothing in them, to show off.
I have created a Google Docs document that I will share tomorrow with the apps I have installed on my phone that create an sdcard folder. Perhaps you could help improve that list.
One afternoon in last December I had emailed all those app developers about this. Do you know how many answers I received to about 10 emails? None..
We should all organize a massive email sendout to them again. After all its their own fault for not sticking to Android guidelines.

Well put mate!
Totally agree. They messed up my internal storage as well I wonder if I need to de-fragment it using my PC's windows defragment tools
Here is my list of apps that create a folder in the root of the sdcard without giving the option to reconfigure the folder location.

Please help improve this list further on so we can email the developers.
Its been a long time since I’m transferring files to my Note 3 and previous android phone from my PC over home network WiFi. My ultimate goal was to sync files from PC to my Note 3 locally automatically so that I will be always updated with latest docs.
But so far I’m unable find a best way to do a sync for all files. The one I got is use dropbox to store documents and then use Note 3 stock file manager Dropbox option to get docs files. But this stores all in internal memory, bad luck but no other option. Also Note 3’s this feature has limitation like it can only sync Docs, photos and videos, no other files formats like zip etc.
So here is a tricks I found which may help you in many ways:
I really dislike putting the cable on to transfer files so earlier to transfer files over home network wifi, I used Wifi FTP app to turn on FTP into Device and in windows create a add network location in my computer and once put the UID/Pass, transfer files into phone any time. But this can only write files into Internal memory, not external due to kitkat. Also if it’s a big file I have to copy them again from phone file manager to external memory. In my previous phone I could store large files directly to sd card the same way.
So I was looking for a more convenient way. What I don’t like I have to take the phone out each time to activate FTP and then transfer files. Many people suggested samba file sharing which require root access and it can share your phone into windows network and many other apps but I didn’t like any.
So I got an idea to use this FTP features in reverse way. If you’re using Windows you can easily create a shared folder as FTP server by using IIS manager (no extra software require and nothing will run in background to show your PC) So by this video instruction you will get how to share a folder as FTP server https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWpZkhXnhds even with your router’s help you can access it over internet.
After the IIS setup done you can share a single folder or an entire hard disk partition. After done on your PC, go to your phone stock file manager, at bellow just after the memory status there have a column with + sign folders, those are for shortcuts. Click in one and choose FTP shortcut. Give it a name and put all details from your PC. In password field put your PC account password and choose passive mode. After done tap to connect and you’re all done. Now you have a virtual storage memory. I shared a 100GB media Partition where I stores songs and videos and anytime when the PC is on I can copy files into external memory and can access all files on the phone. Also if you have high-speed wifi (300mbps or over) you can directly stream HD videos.
This way you can create multiple folders and multiple FTP and multiple shortcuts in your device for separate purpose. Also the advantage is you don’t need to share anything over windows network and so other PC can access your shared folders. Its completely different and secure way. Only people having your system local IP and your PC username and password only those can access those shared folder and files.
With this way you don’t need any separate apps on your device and PC as well. Still its not a auto sync wirelessly which is my primary requirements so if anyone have any idea on this please share.
I don’t have any instruction for Mac and Linux as I use only Windows but IIS like stuff should be available in all.
On another perspective I find really useful to send links, pages, images from my chrome browser to my phone. I use 2 extensions for this. One is Google Chrome to Phone Extension and the other is Mighty Text.
And if you hate the cables you can always use "ADB Wireless" . Just connect your pc & phone in same network and transfer your files over wifi.
Or use something like Samba File Sharing, which sets your Note 3 up as a network accessible storage device, so you just open a Window to it on your PC (or get any file sync software to use it as a network device, or set it up as a mapped drive if you like)

fix for extSdCard write on kitkat has been posted. Root is needed ot edit file but the fix is simply add one line to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
Code:
name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw"/>
<group gid="media_rw"/> line needs to be added.
I'd use Smart Disc Mounter for easy access.

It’s a good app. But it root access require, so no way….. then there is also apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nalic.app.wifishare&hl=en which is very small, less memory consumption and its works great. I’ve been using this since long. Just set FTP uid/pass once and easy use. But with this on kitkat no sd card writing. So the process goes like for large files :
Send file to internal memory > open phone file manager > copy that file to sd card.
And with the process I mentioned: open phone file explorer > browse files that you want to copy > copy to sd card.

I would love to use this app, but the issues was:
1) Personally I don’t like this apps UI and look and feel, it’s a small point though.
2) I use this in office too, so sharing the phone internal/external memory isn’t safe over windows network. I doubt this app could let it access by UN/Pass. I’ve never tried this app but knew about this since long. Be solve if one share a particular folder for transferring. But again the same scenario, copy and move in phone explorer.
( If anyone have security concerns like me, on my above mentioned method, you can use a separate windows login with difficult password, you can use a typical port like 9137 which itself work as password, as it will work only locally so no hacking concerns )
3) On kitkat, the same thing, no sdcard write permission. So again copy and move. As for large media files I and many people do not prefer to store them in phone memory.
4) If I could map the phone on PC then sync would be my best solution as I have to work with lots of documents. But this cant do the same for media files otherwise I’ve to store all in internal memory to sync them. Instead I use Dropbox and it works awesome.

Just tried this, probably a nice app. Many installation requires on windows pc .Net framework + Smart Disk app on pc. But the free version only have internal memory option, external require a paid version. I’ve emailed the developer to confirm the paid version have the ability to write on Kitkat. If it does only then I will buy it.
Yeah it's amazing app and I have paid version and I can read/write Ext SD with it.
But if you don't have ExtSD fix applied (earlier you have mentioned you don't want to root) then there may be possibility that it may not work without fixing permission, It's kitkat issue not application problem.

Yes it is absolutely a great app for me so that i can easy access my file work/home with 24/7 mounted on PC so that i can disconnect and connect it again. I installed this on my Note 3 KK i have no problem at all The reason why i recommended this app is it simple, secure fast rather than any wifi file transfer software (FTP) which need to open chrome, or type in ip address or what so ever.
Edit, Btw what do yo mean you cant write into external memory? Did you choose externel mmc option? Check Screenshot below

I agree its a great app and 1st i tried the free version and then the paid one, but except internal memory it still cant write on card. If no card right feature then no use for larger files. Also i dont know if this mounted all time and running background if it could cause battery draining.
If this could support sdcard write in future, I will need this 1st as I cant sync over network by FTP mount.
For now uninstalled it.

i tested it twice, 1st internal memory read and write, perfect. then unmount > select external memory > mount again > read data perfect but when writing it popups permission require. Tried again after disconnecting but no luck.
Also it has to click mount twice one in phone and again on PC, otherwise it doesnt connects.
Earlier I tried Samsung side sync but that doesnt work over wifi.

Hi,
I was on a vacation and used the LG 360 Cam heavily. I was so excited with the pictures & videos I took and tried to download all of them from the cam's microsd and not realize that they were actually downloaded and saved to my internal memory until I got the popup saying that my internal memory is full.
Have been trying to find any setting to change the path to my microsd instead of internal memory but couldn't find one. Already provided my feedback in app store to ask the same thing and also dropped an email to the author but received no response so far.
Is there any of this forum member can advise if we can change the path somehow? Thanks.
Have you tried manually moving the files with a file explorer like es file explorer?

Moving the files manually is possible using stock gallery app but only after I downloaded to internal memory. I'm avoiding a condition where my internal memory is full so I can download directly to microsd in my phone.

Yep - figured this out last night. No SD Card support for this app. I'll keep looking.
After leaving the review in playstore I also dropped an email to the developer and received a reply just now telling me that it will be supported in October.. let's see
the app just updated with some new stuff and it mentions something about other storage, and the cam also has an update but i still do not see sd options
it says support adoptable storage for download image/vids

I was able to edit the photos and videos from the 360 cam I have made a video about it here
https://youtu.be/wszkGqhooxE
Also Fyi there is a new firmware and app update which seems to have improved the quality of the images a bit as well as introducing an interval meter (timelapse) which is cool in 360 for that I used adobe premiere but the results where great
Hello,
can anyone tell me where the files from the 360 cam are stored in the internal Memory on my phone ?
I dont own the camera anymore but want to use the app an my phone for viewing purposes (and taking some screenshots as Little Planets)
So I need to know the excact path for Android to put my files there again
Thx in advance !
