Did you move the applications to the SD card? This happens to me, if the application was moved into SD card, it just disappear whenever I restart the phone.

No, no it's a problem or bug, is the way Move to SD works. Apps which have widgets can't be moved to SD
Ok so back when i had my tp2, i had this wonderful app called Wifi Remote Access that allowed me to connect to my wifi and computer and transfer files through my file explorer on my pc through wifi? And it was called ftp support, no i found an app on the market called ftp file expert or just file expert and dont know how to get my computer to do what the windows mobile app did?
Anyone know what i can do to make it so i can transfer files through my file explorer on my computer so i can copy paste and mange files on my phone?
Or another app?
Thanks

Thanks guys, but we have a winner thanks for the suggestion, this is exactly what i was looking for, if only i could select multiple folders though.

I use wifi file explorer to move stuff to and from my phone. It isn't as slick as showing up in your file explorer, but it gives you web access from any computer on the network.

Ya its only that folder too? Oh well maybe if i take thos folders in that one and move it to another? also it might be because i got a wifi error saying no connection on the app however it works fine and that is the only folder that wont open, i guess ill try reseting my router see if that fixes the error?
btw sorry the pic was so small, damn xda and there small pic attachments lol
Hi.
Is there any way to install an app (apk file) from PC to the phone ?
I can't install app by the phone directly.
Thanks .
Yes, DroidExplorer or via HTC Sync.
Or through android market on your pc.

True, although strictly it still downloads the apk from the Market and doesn't install an apk that you already have saved to your pc
@mattfmartin, do you happen to know where the data for this download would be charged to, ie would it come off of your pc bandwidth or against the phones data bundle? I was just wondering that and as data costs are pretty expensive here in SA it would be really useful to know?
Look into using the adb on the Android sdk. Simply put is adb push insertnamehere very simple

Thanks did know that. WiFi is also not that prevalent here (starting to pick up though), but I guess I do need to set up a home wifi network sometime though LOL.

Here you go...What you need is "Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine" and all credits go to the guys @ androidcentral...
Download & extract the attached zip file to any location on your pc...Then run AndroidCentral-SWM...Connect ur device to the pc (charge only & usb debugging on), locate d apk file u want 2 install n hit GO...Watch d video below 2 see it in action.
I have the above showing that its taking up 5GB on my Nexus 7, when I go to Settings > Storage >Misc files.
What is it? What app uses that?
Just wondering what to do about it.
Thanks,
Jon
Just a guess but may be for an RSS feed I would delete it if it takes up 5gb

I don't want to delete it, since it might mess up an app I am using. Rather, I would like to know what app its related to. Is there any way to find out?

Looks like it's for this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meecel.feedreader.RssDemonAd
Edit: Can't imagine for the life of me why an RSS feed app would take up that much space, unless it's configured to download and store content or something.

Nicely found and that helped, thanks. It didn't show under Installed Apps but showed under the All list, under MyApps. Not sure what the All list is meant to show? Previously installed apps?

Correct. If you no longer use the app, you should be fine to delete the data. As the above post mentioned, if in doubt you may just rename or move the folder first to make sure nothing breaks.

I can't seem to delete the cache folder as there are too many files in the folder. About 20K I believe. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

What file manager app are you using? Maybe try a different one, I like solid explorer and root browser myself.
You might also try connecting the tablet to a PC and see if you can delete it that way.
Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers. I'd like to stay away from any kind of wiring or PC use. Thanks.
Dropbox seems to be a solution. I still would appreciate additional input. Thanks.

You can take an ADB backup... Which should copy everything on device to computer...
If you are rooted... You can do it via wireless ADB

I'm using an app called HandShaker...work fine for me...
X-plore file explorer will transfer over wifi sharing.
You might want to check into an app called superbeam. It uses wifi to transfer as well and you can use it afterward to transfer files from your PC to your phone and from your phone to PC.
