I recently tried to start PicselBrowser.exe from a location other than the default one. It failed and I put it back into it`s default directory and uninstalled/reinstalled it. Now every time I turn on my Apache (WM5) it tells me ''Notification Error'' ''Cannot execute /Storage Card/PicselBrowser.exe'' which is the directory that I mentioned that I had failed to start the program from. Does anyone know how I can stop this message? Thanks.
Any ideas?
Does anyone know of a forum somewhere that would be better suited for this question?

Yes, that is a little easy to solve. I had that trouble a while back with another application I was messing with. Here is the solution.
Look into Windows>Start Up folder. In there you will probably see a .lnk file pointing to the OLD PicselBrowser.exe. Since you already moved the OLD PicselBrowser.exe file to a NEW location, then put it back in the same place. Your PPC thinks it is already a NEW file despite the fact that you returned the very same file to its ORIGINAL location. The solution is to replace that .lnk file by creating a shorcut of the NEW PicselBrowser.exe file in another folder, then rename that file to the same name as the one found in Windows>Start Up folder. The next step is a simple cut and paste to replace the lnk file.
The uninstall process probably leaves behind the OLD lnk file or notification to launch the NEW picselbrowser.exe file. So in reality, the lnk file is still searching for the OLD PicselBrowser.exe file. Despite the Uninstall procedure that you performed.
I hope I made it clear for you. Let us know if it works.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, I am a newb when it comes to technical PPC stuff. I looked in my startup folder and several others and found the following:
poutlook.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
Services.lnk
SpbMobileShell.lnk
None of these appear to be Picsel Browser, I also looked on my Storage Card, nata. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

Ohhhhhhhhh. I have another thoery and again very simple.
What kind of SD Card are you using? I would guess a 4GB one, isn't it? Basically what is happening is that, the built-in SD Card reader of your PPC is not fast enough to read the entire contents of the SD card when you turn it ON. To solve this issue, there should be an option from within Picsel Browser to delay its startup upon turning your device ON.
An alternative solution is to install Picsel Browser in the Main Memory rather than the SD Card.
Another alternative solution is to use a Lower Memory SD Card, say a 2GB SD Card, for faster read.
As a last resort, if you have MemMaid or a powerful Notifications Manager, just delete the pesky notification manually. Why does Picsel Browser need to be read every time you turn your device ON anyway?
Hope this helps.

Actually, I am running a 2 GB MiniSD Card and to be honest, I dont know why it is trying to activate PicselBrowser.exe each time I turn on the device. Let me clarify that it is not coming on every time that I do a soft reset, it is every time I press the power button on top of the device. Also, I got this same message when I first tried to run PicselBrowser in it's not default location, which is why I moved it back. Why it has been attempting that operation ever since is a complete mystery to me. Thanks for your help though. I would be clueless without you.
I guess the only thing to try now is delete the notification manually using a Notifications manager. BACKUP 1st is the RULE, before deleting an kind of Notifications.
Another extreme solution is Hard Reset and install from scratch. I know sounds horrifying specially if you have tons of stuff.

I'm getting exactly the same error for 'wakeup.exe' for Wisbar Advanced Desktop at the minute, I know that there has been a lot of discussion over at the lakeridge forums but most people have solved the problem by reinstalling several times.
EDIT: i think I may have fixed my problem. try installing picsel browser again without uninstalling it on your pocket pc. See if you get the message about 'all other previous versions will be deleted' just tap yes and continue to install it again. Then see what happens.
(And just as i thought i fixed it, the message appeared again)
I tried to install Picsel Browser over the existing install several times and it did nothing to the error message. I don't know what else to try, any more ideas?
Please, this is really annoying every time I turn on my phone. Any ideas?
I sitll get the same with WAD.
Hey, I fixed this problem simply by copying (NOT CUTTING) the file in question (in my case PicselBrowser.exe) to the directory that it was telling me it could not start from. Hope this helps. Cheers

I'm having an issue with avi video files not having a default player anymore. I know that the actual default player cannot play them, and I do have other programs for it. Unfortunately though, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the default program used for a specific file type.
Searching the internet keeps coming up with going into Manage Applications then clearing defaults of something that currently is the default, but that option is always ALWAYS greyed out (I went one by one for everything in there). Regardless, I did find a program on the Market called "ClearDefault" that basically clears all defaults for programs, but it did not help.
Also, the problem is not that something else already is the default. The problem is that NOTHING is the default for it right now (something happened to change this but I can't figure out what).
There must be a file somewhere inside the phone that decides this. If it isn't accessible inside the phone, then I'm looking for how to do it manually via my PC, terminal, or adb.
This is something I want to learn for future reference as well as the current problem at hand.
Hopefully we can come together and figure this out.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that attempting to open the file via Astro or the browser's downloader just comes up with an error. I can obviously open the file/s via the player's file selection browser, but I cannot figure out how to make it open said player upon download or clicking.

Long press in astro
select open as
select video
select default ceckbox
select program desired
finished
Thanks a lot for the response. I'm glad someone finally came to the rescue. Unfortunately, I tried that already (and forgot to mention it). It just opens the default HTC player which cannot play avi files. Although, I did try it again just to be safe.

Damn. I'd try installing again. Or you could dive off the deep and and convert all of them to h264 lol
Oh come on, no one on xda-developers (hackers united) can figure this out? I'm having the exact same problem! Except I have the issue with both music and videos.
Tapping an .mp3 in astro opens up the default Music player, and if I go into astro settings and remove 'audio' from the MIME type for .mp3s and long-press the file > open as > audio it still plays with the default Music app. Going into home > settings > applications > manage applications > music does no good because there are no defaults set, the button is grayed out!
And I have the problem with videos too, except in settings > applications > manage applications, there is no option for 'Dell Video Player' (I have a Dell Streak) or even 'Video Player', it's not even in the list!
If any android genius out there can figure this out I'd really appreciate it.
Hello,
i have search for about 30minutes but i wasn't able in finding a solution so i will start with the generic question and then go into the specific..
i am trying to look for a way to have logged (with an app or any other method) all the recent files read on my device.. so that if i launch an app which reads some files, anywhere they are stored, it will report me what was opened and read..
in the specific i have a app installed which saves the info into a file surely (i doubt it uses any kind of database). i would like to get in hold of that file and since i don't know where to look into my phone memory i was looking for a sort of file logger which could help me in this way. Else it could be also usefull to know if there is a specific folder dedicated for saving files of the various installed apps..
thanks

Hi ,
I uploaded some pictures on my Gmail Drive yesterday via Laptop.
When I use the Android Google Drive Client on my Gingerbread , I have options of viewing it or making it offline.
Is there any way of downloading the pictures to my SD card ?
Making it offline doesn't help because once I remove the Google Drive App from my Droid , I will no longer be able to view that picture.
I want a permanent download so that my downloaded pictures appear in my gallery even after un-installation of Google Drive.
EDIT: [SOLVED]
Disable encryption via settings, and the files are accessible in the below folder. Thank the man

The files seem to be in the google docs application folder, which on my system is found in /mnt/sdcard/Android/Data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_Files_do_not_edit/*CRAZY FOLDER NUMBER*
However, viewing the files does not work. It seems that this is a feature they have not included (for whatever reason).
Dropbox lets you export files.
You could also try another service called "Box".
KeePassDroid with Google Drive
I was going to create a new thread but in searching found this one. I'll use this one as maybe it applies with certain features not yet being implemented? Or am I overlooking or doing something wrong? I'll keep this simple. I use KeePass V1.x and KeepassDroid to keep my passwords in sync. It works great with DropBox. I have my database stored in the cloud and whenever I make a revision, it syncs across all my devices. Being the Google Whore I am, I was excited to try it with Google Drive. NO GO!
I can access the file and open the database with KeePassDroid without any issues. If I make a change and try to save it I get the following error. /data/data.com.google.android.apps.docs/cache/filecache2/123456789/databasename.kdb.tmp: open failed: EACESS (permissions denied). It won't let me write back to the database like DropBox will.
When I made the file available off-line, it would let me save the file, but it would not save that file back to the cloud. Do you think it's a permission issue on my side, or a limitation right now with Google Drive? Quick side note: I'm using a ported version of ICS but not really having any other issues. But if others are able to write back with a 3rd party app, then maybe it is something to do with the port....just a thought? If anybody has any ideas....Thanks!

It *seems* to me like a limitation with their software. The fact that you can't even use the files outside of google drive/docs despite them being there indicates that either the files are encrypted, or in some other non-standard format. Uploading probably doesn't work because the file you put there are in the wrong format for the software to use them.
I switched back to Dropbox (which I never REALLY left) because of this. As a way to move files to your phone (like .zips to flash), Google drive falls short.

Send them clear, direct feedback. Maybe they'll change it. After all, the product was just launched
Same here. I suspect G will change over time .

Glad to see this thread. First thing I did was try to copy a file to my SD Card from Gdrive. Just keeps trying to open them. Only option I had was send to Dropbox from Gdrive and export from there. Kind of a waste of time.
Just wait and see what features they add on. Its still very early.
Is your phone rooted? Using ES file explorer, and having the "up to root" toggle enabled, if I went to the root directory /mnt/sdcard/download directory all of the 4 files I synced with google drive were able to be copied using ES file explorer without any problem at all.
It's a bit annoying, but for now it works for me!

I could copy them no problem. The problem is, copied or not, they're unviewable.
Are you sure you are looking in the folder I mentioned, or are you looking in the folder that does not require root access? There is a link to those files in the directory that doesn't require root but even the thumbnail doesn't appear there.
Shrug, I pulled photos and a pc executable from that folder and copied it onto my SD card using the move option in ES file explorer which allowed me to email them to a friend.
How to enable Google Driver on my phone ?, i have download from Google Play but it's display not available in my country, hmm
When I went to the drive.google site after I installed the PC application it gave me a url to download the mobile app. I made sure "install non-market applications" was selected in my phone settings, opened up that site in my phone's browser, and installed it.
So I seem to have managed to get files from google drive onto my phone and tablet. I use an app called officesuite pro. I've got it on my prim and sgs2. It is a paid app but it connects to remote servers, google docs(drive), dropbox etc. If you access your files through there, you can copy the file, doc, zip whatever is on your google drive, and paste it to a local drive. All intact and usable.
This is crazy. As soon as my Drive was ready I transferred all my DB files to it thinking I'm all Google, so lets use it! Yeah, I can't access any of my files. With DB I could just long press a name, and download. Guess it's back to DB until Drive can do it too. Nice otherwise.

The folder you said was:
/mnt/sdcard/download , right?
I have the folder ( with a capital "D" though), except there are none of the files I made offline with drive in it.

Thanks for the tip. Still, might shame to have to jump through such hoops. The other question is: does it work with non-doc files?

same here. disappointing. but i hope they will change it in the future.
Yeah, it works with any type of file, I used it to download a zip. You can do it with jpegs too but you have to make it show unsupported files. Also, another way, probably easier is to log into google drive through your browser, you can download direct from there i've noticed. Just click on the file and it should give you the option to dl. Shame they haven't put this in the app.

Funny I was just trying this. It does work, but it renames the file to some long weird label. Have you found a way to keep it the same name?
To be honest, i've not really tried it through the browser but when I download it through officesuite pro, it retains the original file name.
I would like some more experienced opinions/ideas with a profile I created on Tasker. First of all, I'm on a rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 - SCH-I545 running Goldfinger ROM. I've been using Taker for several months. The new profile that I just created is where, whenever I have Firefox or Chrome download a file, they download to /storage/sdcard0/Download/. I can't change where they download to. Now I have Foldersync that I have sync the files between the location /storage/sdcard0/Download/ and /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/ and then remove the file from the original download path storage/sdcard0/Download/. Now, in Tasker, the profile is:
Context: Event: File Modified --> /storage/sdcard0/Download/
Task: Foldersync: Sync folder pair now. Foldersync's folder pair is /storage/sdcard0/Download/ and /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/.
My problem is this:
Sometimes my download only takes a second and then it syncs. But if the file takes longer than a few seconds, it tries to sync while it's downloading so it moves the partially downloaded file, thus corrupting the file. I know that I can set up Tasker to wait any X number of seconds or minutes before syncing but it's different for every download. Can anyone think of any variables that I can program for this task that will sync the downloaded file(s) but NOT UNTIL the download completes?
I love Tasker but I don't understand enough of programming to come up with Variables or to even understand them.
Edit: If anyone knows how to go about changing the default download path of Chrome and Firefox mobile to /storage/extSdCard/Downloads/ that would be perfect too. Then I wouldn't need this Tasker profile.
Note
Now I know it would make sense to use Foldersync to do a daily sync but a lot of files I download are flashable zips that I want on the extsdcard right then and there so I can go right into recovery and flash it. But what I've been having to do is use ROM Toolbox to manually move the file from internal to external sdcard before booting into recovery. It's a hassle and really annoying though.
Command
Might it be possible to create a script with an app like Scripter to do this task? Maybe even something along the lines like this: When a file is being downloaded with Chrome or Firefox it creates a temp file. Would the creation/removal of that temp file be enough of an event, either with Tasker or an automated script, to trigger the Foldersync task or execute a mv command for the file that was downloaded?
Maybe try Event > UI > Notification > Download Complete
Or something to that effect. After Chrome downloads a file it says download complete in the notification tray. I would imagine some playing around would make it work.

Thanks for the input. I figured out a different way to do this. I'm using this app to symlink the two download folders. Now I don't even need to use Foldersync or Tasker. Thanks for your help!
