How do I sync my X to my mac so that I can transfer music, data files to the CD card, and to delete items already on the SD card? I haven't been able to figure it out. Just got the phone today and its sweeeet.
I don't have the answer to your question, but I do wanna know how long ago you ordered the phone. I also would like to know how to sync this phone to the mac because I have a mac & it suck if i had to use a pc everytime.
Usb and select mass storage

Wow really easy to add and delete files just by connecting with the cord and enabling USB storage. I dont know why so many sites involve third party apps and programs.
To the other guy: I ordered it in store on the 9th. Estimated date was the 25th, but got it a bit early like most.
So I know how to add/remove files, how do I add playlists from iTunes? Do I need some app/program to sync to iTunes?
And lastly, my home icons using Launcher Pro are tiny. Do I need to upgrade to increase their size?
For some reason the wallpapers from my comp (good res) look super low res on my phone.

.thumbdata

Rather than sending out a CD with the phone. SE have put all the applications you might need to access your phone, on the memory card. (PC Companion for a start).
I suppose if you make a backup of those files, then there is no reason why you can't make more room on the card and tidy it up a bit.
speaking of memory card.
does anyone know what the maximum size is that the x10 can recognize??
I think they mentioned 16gb but few people have reported 32gb to work an all

It will support 32gb. However you'll likely end up spending as much on the card as you did on the phone. I think they run at least $200 usd. Probably wont stop me from getting one when they arrive here in CA.
I've done format on XPERIA sd card by chance and I must to recover all data which were on card before format (inc. PC Companion instal, instruction, folders, files, etc.)
Do somebody can create copy of memory card and upload on server (rapid, hotfile, etc.) or send me on my private mail: [email protected] ??
It's very important for me, because it's not my phone.

Since we can't mount these windows phones on to the computer and access the folders within them like a mass storage device, how does one move files into it?
i know that I can move pictures, music and video files via zune software, but what about other file types?

email stuff to yourself
also there is a registry hack you can do to make the computer see device as mass storage but i'm not sure the phone can see the files moved that way
I've read recently about a file explorer for the unlocked devices but not about regular ones...
why would it matter if it's an unlocked device? did you mean a hacked one?
he ment jailbroken/rooted
i've seen a jailbroken wp7 emulator but havent heard any
developments in regards to current wp7 models being jail broken
ofcourse i may have been to busy pressing refresh on the dell site
to notice
edit: just remembered there used to be an app that would allow developers to load
homebrewed apps onto there phone i wonder if that counts
Indeed, I meant jailbroken device...
Touchexplorer is the app I referred to.
I just got mine on Friday and haven't been able to really work on it. I installed Dropbox and have the free 2GB account, I've been able to transfer some .pdf's docs and even a few songs. I haven't tried moving them out of the Dropbox app and I'm not sure where they store the files on the phone.
So, I have quite a bit of experience with Android, but this is my first 3.1 tablet and for the life of me I cannot figure these three things out...
*** EDIT: All of the sudden it is loading as a drive w/out me doing anythng, whereas yesterday it was looking for Asus software. The other two issues remain though... lol *** First, I want to plug it into my laptop as USB storage so I can copy over music and pics (wallpapers) to the MicroSD, as well as removed and save downloaded content. When I plug it in, I get no option to mount as USB like I do on Android 1.x and 2.x. It also doesn't show as a drive on the laptop. Since I get no option on the device I am thinking it isn't driver related, but maybe an option somewhere. I hope it isn't drive since I don't want to install one on this work laptop. lol Help?
Second, while the MicroSD is in the device there is an icon for it next to the time. Without unmounting the card, how do I make that icon go away?
And last, I have around 20gb of music uploaded to my Google Music account, but when I open the Google Music app it says there is no music on the device. There also is no option I can find to link to my google music account (which I thought should be automatically). My understanding, and how it works on Android 2.x, is that when I open my app it displays the music I have in that account online, but not on this one. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone...
Also, in case it's needed, this is the TF 16gb on Andriod 3.1...
I don't think there's any way to get rid of the icon. But with your music app make sure your gmail user address is right in the settings. I have too many addresses and sometimes use the wrong one.
As far as the MicroSD icon goes I believe that is an Asus addition to Honeycomb and can't be removed. I think it would be up to a ROM developer to strip it from the build.
As for the Google Music Beta, I have had similar issues. All I can recommend is going to the Market and making sure you have the latest version. If you do then the only other thing that has worked for me is trying a new ROM. I had no luck getting my Music to sync while running Prime 1.5 but with MagnuSupreme and Clemsyns ROM it has worked beautifully.
You can get rid of the icon if you are rooted. Just unmount the card normally, then mount in a terminal as root with 'mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD && mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD'. You'll need to unmount it manually and delete the folder when your done though.
Thanks everyone!
I have a Dell PC, I need to transfer some Power Point files and some other files to the Nexus 10. How can I go about that? Please help
I've always used Dropbox for all of my file transfer needs, and it has worked fantastically :good:. Give it a shot!
You could use wufi file explorer. Install it on your n7 then access it through your dell's browser to upload & download.
You can't use the Nexus 10 like a regular storage? USB to PC?

Yes you can.
If your using Vista+ (and not a N or KN edition of Windows), you should just be able to plug the Nexus 10 to the computer and transfer files via MTP.
If that doesn't just "work":
- You have a N or KN edition of Windows and don't have the media pack installed
- MTP is either removed or disabled
- Old drivers from ADB are possibly interfering (uninstall them, replug device, should work)
No idea what to do on XP or any other OS though.
I would use es file explorer.

Got me worried for a moment. Now if you can use the Nexus 10 as storage, is it possible to make say a mobile the "PC" or whatever and exchange files tru USB or that is blocked by Google? I'm a bit clueless what is allowed and whatnot on Nexus devices.

Might be better to think of it the other way around, could possibly connect a phone/camera etc to a nexus 10 and use the nexus as the host to see the files on the phone/camera etc

Yeah but stock N10 doesn't allow that, no? Really strange. It's okay not to have SD slot, but why does Google block USB OTG?
I havent tried but i imagine its possible whether its stock or not i dont know sorry. You can read from usbs as stock, just install Nexus Media Importer, so cameras could maybe be used with this, phones may get a bit trickier.
look at es file explorer. a must for every android user.
it lets you see network lan shares, your dropbox, skydrive, box, gdrive etc etc - with same ease as your device's local storage.
so you can export the share from your desktop where the files are and copy them on your device from that network share.
or, on your desktop, upload the files to your favorite cloud storage and do the same. have a habit of copying important files to the cloud, just in case your desktop crashes. outside of backing then up like that, you now could access then from anywhere using your mobile devices.
encrypt important stuff.

get "software data cable" from market
then you can use any FTP client and send files
no cables. profit
benefit of using this option instead of cloud services like dropbox:
say you have a 1gig file, u have to upload that 1 gig to dropbox, then download that 1 gig from the phone. this way you only send file one time
of course if you only using small files then no benefit
but if u have 50 small files in one folder you can send 1 folder with all the files, instead of 50 individual exports from dropbox or other could service

I just starting to get familiar with my Nexus 10 16GB tablet. I have an Android phone and a Kindle fire so I've had some experience with transferring files to my devices. When I plug my N10 into my Win7 PC, it shows as a "Portable Device", not a Hard Drive so went I attempt to eject it, that device doesn't show up as a choice to eject. I have no other choice but to 'pull the plug',something I'd uncomfortable with.
Nevertheless, I can double-click into the 'internal storage' and see some of the folders. When I attempt to create a new folder (to attempt some organization), I can create a 'New Folder', but I can't rename it to anything. This is very different from my experience with my Android phone and Kindle Fire.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

I think isyncr is broken on the s5. The wifi syncs only the playlist names but never transfers any songs, the USB transfer doesn't even recognize the desktop app is installed. Anybody else having this issue? I already contacted the dev, waiting for a reply

I thought I'd already responded to your support request, but there are no known issues with the S5 right now. Are you using a PC or Mac? For USB transfers, you have to use iSyncr Desktop which is in the menu bar (Mac) or system tray (PC). You cannot have a WiFi sync if iSyncr Desktop isn't installed, so it should be there.
Works for me
I had no problem getting isyncr to work on the 900V and save songs on the SD Card.
However, I used a 64G SDCard from my previous device which already had a isyncr folder. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I have noticed that some other apps cannot write to the SD Card. I think once someone gives us root capability for this device these kind of issues will go away.
That said, while I already had the isync folder loaded with songs on the SD Card I used, I did add some new songs to my remote computer and isyncr was able to create the new song files on the SD Card.

Well, there is now. And FYI, i already responded to your second email with this:
Are you syncing over USB or WiFi? Wifi, as i mentionned in my subsequent email, usb doesn't work as it doesn't recognized the desktop app
Do the songs show up if you install and use my app, Rocket Player? The songs are never synced, my sd card is empty
Are you syncing with a PC or a Mac? Pc
Why did you send a screenshot of the Galaxy S5 music player? If it turned green, that is Samsung's software, not mine. this picture is just to show you that it syncs my playlist names but doesnt sync any songs. the green is the circle next to the playlist name when isyncr finished syncing a playlist. As i mentionned, when i press sync, it syncs the playlist and never syncs any songs. It gathers info aboht the playlist and instead of syncing the songs, it just turns green. I would love to attach another photo but now my phone doesn't recognize isyncr at all. Even if i try to connect manually it doesnt see the desktop app.

I've been an isyncr user since day 1, i've seen the program evolve from the days where i almost switched to Airsync. I kept this because it worked better overall with less dependencies. It worked flawless on my Note 3 and it doesnt work on my S5. I've already tried everything before reaching out to you, like reinstalling, clearing cache, data, heck, i even tried a previous version. FYI, I did start from a freshly formated SD card, and I didnt just transfer my SD from my N3 to my S5 and keeping the isyncr folder intact. Also, i would not make the stupid mistake of trying all this without having the desktop plugin installed
@crimpo There already has been root for long before the device was released, as usual, chainfire is ahead of the game by updating his CF-Autoroot
Quick update: Pat sent in a log file, and this looks like some issue syncing to the SD card using WiFi that I will have to figure out. I'm not seeing this on any of my other KitKat devices, and haven't heard about this issue from any other S5 customers, but I will try and post my finding here.
I too am having an issue with isyncr USB and WiFi to MacBook pro. Been using isyncr for years with galaxy nexus.
I have the Verizon version of the s5. I am blown how much cap they put on the phone. Every time I plug in USB it says installer mode and it looks like a Verizon cd is plugged into mac.
Tried installing Samsung kies but no Playlist sync.
Even android file transfer is working weirdly.
Can anyone tell me how to wipe all traces of kies and the Verizon application?
I'm having problems getting it to work. I've tried everything.

Simplest solution is to install a custom rom. If not, root and freeze apps using TiBu

I'd love to help with these problems with your Galaxy S5 displaying in iSyncr Desktop if you'd email me at [email protected]. I'm not sure that I have a bullet proof method that I'm able to post to the forum. You do not need to root so far as I am aware. Please email me at support and we can work through these issues together.

The only way i was able to transfer to sd without root was to create the same structure of storage isyncr creates on a device that allows apps to write to sd. It didn't work all the time but after pressing sync 3-4 times, it eventually started syncing
