Get this error the other day, and again last night! Says that I was running low on Memory, and wouldn't let me load the YouTube app! Then Last night as I was using Opera, it gave the same error....
So, did some searching throught the File Explorer, and noticed the YouTube folder was rammed with tiny JPEG images....
I plugged the device up to the laptop, and thouht it'd be easier to deleted files this way as you can highlight and then hit delete!
However, it wouldn't show the "Windows" folders. Even when I changed the properties to show all hidden files and folders....
So, a couple of questions....
How do I access the Windows folder on my HTC via my Laptop? How do I stop YouTube, Opera etc storing all these files and clogging up the memory?
TIA,

Why don't u try Resco Explorer.
Menu--Edit--Multiselection Mode. It will go to the multi selection mode. Then,
Menu--Select All. Then, You just Uncheck those that is not JPEG Files. Delete.
Well, That's one of the ways....
you can access the windows folder on your device by selecting "active Sync" when you connect the phone to your PC.. then just use windows Explorer from your PC..
need to un tick "hide system files" as well as show hidden.

Hi again guys..... Noticed again last night that the device memory is running low....
I managed to connect to the laptop, and show all hidden files and folders... I deleted all Opera Temp files etc, and YouTube files and that only gave me about 30Mb back. Noticed I have several hundred manilla files within the windows folder.... IIRC, they are a combination of numbers follwed by _manilla (ie, 123456_manilla). Not sure on the file type. I highlighted all these and they only came to a few Mb......
Not sure where all the files are being stored, and what is "clogging up" my memory? Maybe browsing on Opera, is causing it. But AFAIK, I deleted all possible temp files etc.....
All I do on the phone is ring and text (obviously), check emails, and browse on Opera. Now and then I may use YouTube, and very rarely use the Facebook app....
Not sure what files I am ok to delete. I don't want to deleting something, and cause a problem later on!
Any suggestions on what to check?
TIA

well here are the basic windows folders that you can clear out.
Windows/app data/volatile
Windows/cookies
windows/history
Windows/temp internet files
windows/temp.
also these folders may be repeated in the windows/profiles/guest folder.
temp folder in root
all those manila files, that actually "is" manila.they're the various scripts codes and layout files.

found a guest folder, not much in there.... also have to delete one file at a time. If I try to delete multiple files it says I don't have permission (or summat like that)... But if i do one file at a time, then the folder, it lets me...........
still stuck, and only have about 12.4Mb on Device Memory left!
also just deleted the cache folder within the Opera folder.... That free-ed up all of 5Mb!!!!!!!
then all I can suggest is running searches for files larger than..... well, start at 500k and see what turns up.
make sure whatever file manager you use is showing everything.
Ok, obviously an easy task. Done it before have a couple dozen songs on my storage card now, and they all transfered easily a couple months ago.
Now, I want to finish my collection and transfer a couple hundred songs over, so i figured, same thing i did to transfer the first hundred or so.
I open my music folder, i open my storage card/music folder. highlight, drag and drop. I get a message pop up saying "this file may not be able to play on this device do you want to copy anyways?" I say yes, another popup saying
"Cannot copy <title> The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected"
So i figured i'm screwed and can't copy them over and i head here for an answer, here's the twist.....
I check the "do this for all files" when "cannot copy" box comes up and i tell it to skip copying all files. I let it go and lo an behold, even tho i told it to SKIP copying all files. They appear and are working properly on my device, artwork and all.
TL;DR-
Get error saying can't copy music, device is not responding or disconnected. Tell it to skip copying all music. Copies all of it anyways completely successfully.
::EDIT:: Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone has had this before, or would know why this is happening? Even tho i still get the result i want.. it's kind of irritating.
I've had the "This file may not be able to play on this device do you want to copy anyways?" dialog which is normal if your USB>PC is set to ActiveSync. You might want to try setting it to DiskDrive and see if that behavior goes away.

+1...for transferring media files, it's almost always best to do it in disk drive mode, and much faster that way.
hi, i've just got my iconia and I am also new on the Android world. A couple of things I've noticed about the external SD card that maybe somebody could help me to understand.
1.- when I hook my tablet to my windows 7 laptop, I get to see the internal memory on the win explorer but not the external card, so is this normal or do I have to look for more updated drivers on my PC?
2.- with the external SD card on I get to see my files on an android file manager and I get to open any file individually by getting the "select app for opening this file", but this is time consuming so I am wondering if my stock lumiread, gallery, multimedia player have the current limitation of only reading the content from the internal memory. If so, what free alternatives do I have to replace stock apps?
A couple of answers
First, if you install File Manager HD, you won't need to tether your Iconia to your laptop any more. In the app, open the 'menu' and touch 'LAN Connections'. Your Windows PC will show up as an IP address. Make sure to change the IP Address to a computer name (long press, rename) so that next time File Manager won't have to search for it every time. You will be able to transfer anything on the tab to the 'Public' folder on the PC, and vice versa. Depending on what folders are shared on the PC, you will be able to access more on the PC.
I keep my music on my external SD card in a folder named 'My Music'. The stock music/multimedia players found them with no problem.
I haven't tried moving any books for Lumiread to the external SD card, so all I can suggest is to look at the file structure and duplicate it on the ext SD card, copy a book into it (a new one, or move an existing one) and see if it finds it. I don't see anything within the app to set search/storage directories, but maybe it will scan everything like the music apps do.
Have fun with you new Tab. The more you play with it the more you will understand Honeycomb and it won't seem so foreign to you. It does pretty much everything every other OS does, just a little different way.

Thanks Ken, I downloaded FMHD and will try it soon. I also though about reproducing the lumiread folder on the ext sd card but no luck, so probably a future update on the app will fix that. I tried this as well copying the pictures folder (and also renaming it as 'My Pictures') but the stock gallery just won't see the image files, is there any chance you could see if you get the same results? I have not tried yet on the music stock app. Again, thanks for your help, it is great to find nice people on the web with similar tech passions as I do
Hello Ken, like that app. Wondering if it would be an easy way to tether to my HTC Evo? Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

I use Quickpic from the Market (free) since it lets you choose which drives/directories to scan.
Here is what you do.
1. Create the My Pics directory on the External SD card with File Manager HD, put a few pics in it.
2. After installing Quickpic, start the app. It will display everything it finds on the internal SD Card.
3. Touch the Menu button from the main screen.
4. Choose SETTINGS-INCLUDED FOLDERS-ADD
5. Tap the double dots at the top of the list, it will display all the memory devices attached.
6. Tap EXTERNAL_SD. All directories on the card will be displayed. Press OK.
Now press the 'back' button and you will see your pics that are anywhere on the External SD card.
All I did to get the A500 music player to find the music on the External SD card was run the NemoPlayer app and open the music. Once I did that the regular music app found them, too.
Have fun!
Evo

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so. From what I have seen and heard so far it is only connecting to Windows shares. I don't have an Android phone to test with, so can't swear to it, but I know it doesn't see an iPhone, so likely won't see a Mac either.
Anyone else been able to connect to anything but a Windows share? Let us know if you have, and what app you used please.
Hi everyone, I'm having an issue where not all files on my Nexus 4 are visible in Windows File Explorer. More specifically, I've been playing an emulated game, and in ES file explorer I can see the game and the save file. I dont always want to play on my phone, but when I plug it into the computer, the save file is not visible, so I have to manually send the save file over via google drive. It also happens with some of my word documents that are stored on the phone. I'll see it on the phone, plug the phone in, and just that one file isnt showing in explorer.
Through looking around it seems like this is a common problem because MTP is stupid. Anybody have suggestions on what to do? I'd like to just be able to access the files straight from my phone so that If I save on the computer with the phone plugged in, itll overwrite the file on the phone. Doesnt seem like editing files like that is a possibility using airdroid and the like.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I don't know what you've tried already so you might have tried these things, but here are a few suggestions.
I don't know if the files you are talking about would be hidden by default in Explorer, but go ahead try showing hidden files. I believe to do that, on your computer, go to Folder Options under Control Panel. On the General tab, check the Show all folders checkbox. Under the View tab, about halfway down there are a few options that start with 'Hide' or 'Hidden'. Pretty much make sure all of those are unchecked. There are also two radio buttons that ask if you want to show hidden files and folders. Make sure it's on the option to Show them.
Try switching between MTP and PTP to connect to the computer. This is doubtful to work, but hey, you never know. To do that, on your phone, go to Settings->Storage->... (menu button)->USB Computer Connection
That's all I have, really. Hopefully one of those helps!
PTP only allows you to see the camera file. And no, they are not hidden files. Some of them are regular word files, .docx and the like. Ive already tried that though
I'm looking for a way to copy an application from one device to another? I picked up Minecraft Story mode with the Season pass when it came out, all available episodes install on my Phone and Tablet just fine but my Shield will only run Episode 1 (Presumably as that's part of the install from the Google Play store) and episode 2 is still showing as purchased, coming soon.
Telltale aren't even responding to my support tickets and it looks like other users are having the same issue with the Shield.
With that in mind, I was hoping there might be a way that I could copy the files for episode 2 over to my shield to make it work... any ideas?
Maybe install TiBu on the SATV and give it a shot that way? You'll have to be unlocked and rooted to do so, but it might be worth a try.
I used to copy the apk from the source device onto a network share using solid Explorer and open it up on the shield.
Now I use HALauncher which has functionality to push installed apps from one device to another. You just need to install it on both devices I'm not sure if it requires root though.
I use FTP server to copy from my phone and laptop http://nvidiashieldzone.com/index.php/shield-android-tv/tutorial-ftp-server-on-shield-android-tv/
Thanks for the suggestions, Its not the APK I necessarily need as that downloads from the Google play store. Its the additional files that get installed as part of the process I need to find and copy.
Clearly I don't know a lot about the android file structure but I was basically picturing a folder somewhere that had a file (or Files) for each episode. Given each episode is about 700mb, Id have assumed there's 2 files of 700mb each for each episode.
Finally got my response from the TTG Support agent this mornig, they basically said they dont know what the issue is.... what a cop out.

Theres an app called DiskUsage, that lists all your files according to size, might be easier to find them using this app, i think external storage needs root thought

Try using ES File Explorer, on the main page where it lists images, videos, apps, tools, hard disk(s). Tap on the top right hand section labeled "Apps," (it's labeled with a green Android robot icon). From there, scroll to your Minecraft app and long press it to select, once selected, hit the double Android icon on the top toolbar to backup the app into apk format. Then go back to the main screen inside the file explorer and select your main storage (usually labeled sdcard0), then find backups folder, open that and in there open the app folder. Once in the app folder find a copy of your Minecraft in apk form. You can now move this file anywhere you wish. You can also choose to extract the files in the apk file by tapping on the three vertical dots icon for a drop down menu, and selecting extract. Also, you may want to grab the "games" folder found in /sdcard0 directory. This folder is where Minecraft app saves your game progress (you can copy and/or move this folder anywhere you wish).
try this
es file explorer is no longer available on google play store. load apk from your phone to a usb drive first. then, download and install mi box apk installer on your shield and install all apks that you just copied.
