MTP on window XP-SP3
I think that Window Media Player version 10 or higher supports MTP in window XP-SP3.
But if you have access to a window vista or higher OS, MTP is supported natively.
Good luck

the only work around I can find right now is connecting as PTP and transferring files to the DCIM folder and then moving them as necessary with root explorer or any other explorer app.

Ok, I figured it out...I had to disable USB debugging. I don't know if this helped either, but I installed these drivers as an alternative to the drivers that were originally installed: https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd

I use AirDroid.

Picture Question

Hello guys, my dad has just bought a nexus 7, and I must admit it is a really nice device.
However there are some pictures on it and we cant find how to delete them, i have even been in the system files using astro.
I have also hooked it up to a computer and still cant find them, however they show up in the gallery of the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Showing nothing in there, been and had a look in there already thinking it was in there
maybe its pictures that have been uploaded to g+/picasa, they will show in the gallery even though they arent in your device.
You can delete pictures using the stock gallery app. Open the picture then tap on it and you should see a trash icon at the top right. If they are in an album, just long-press on it to see the trash icon.

Disable syncing of Google Photos in settings/accounts/Google.
Then, delete the cache folder in/sdcard/Pictures. That's where they are stored.

[Q] Metro apps Doesn't recognize Webcam

As i wrote metro apps doesn't recognize my A4Tech webcam
None of them not work.Skype and Default Camera apps
I searched much on google,But not found solution
Can anyone help ?
Anyone ?
Check in devices Open Explorer, paste this to address bar):
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers
If it's there but shown as not working, download driver from manufacturer and install it.
If it's not there, make sure the webcam works at all, and then make sure you've got the driver.
If it's there and works in desktop apps, then make sure you didn't do something silly like tell Metro apps they aren't allowed to use it. In a Metro app, hit Win+i (or otherwise bring up the Settings charm), select Permissions, and make sure the app is allowed to use "Webcam and microphone".
Camera is working for desktop apps, only problem it's not working with metro apps like skype
BTW i can't find where to select permissions ?

There is no need for smartass replies like that.
The quick command keys are not blatantly obvious. They weren't in any manual I got, only found out about them via forums

Do you, by any means, have an ATI Radeon graphics card, and have the Catalyst Beta Drivers for Windows 8 installed?
The point is that I quoted directly from my previous post... if you waste people's time asking them to repeat themselves in a freaking *written forum* they will extract some amusement out of the situation, probably at your expense.

A Few Questions

How do I add ringtones to this phone?
Loving this swipe keyboard thing! Very cool.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Create a folder named Ringtones and copy mp3 files to it.
Another quick question: On my iPhone 4, I used to be able to stream videos easily using an app called Air Video (even across my data connection after forwarding a port) and it used to work flawlessly.
Is there anything similar in the Android world that's just as easy to configure and use?

If you want them to appear as if they are native Android ring tones put them in media/audio/ringtones.

FYI, that's not necessary. Mediaserver will find them in Ringtones, Alarms, and Notifications folders at the root level of sdcard/.

If you mean stream from a PC to your phone, you can do this very well over ftp with an app that offers a client such as ES File Explorer.
Thanks I'll try this out soon :good:

[Q] Recording screen without root?

I'm looking for an easy way to record my Android's screen without rooting my phone. This will be on my work phone, so I'm not allowed to root it.
I recently found TeamViewer QuickSupport which lets you control an Android phone remotely (see its display and use your keyboard and mouse to interact with it). The way I'm currently recording the screen is by using TeamViewer on my computer to control the phone, and then using a screen capture program on my computer to record the screen.
Surely someone's made an app that uses the same API that TeamViewer uses to retrieve the screen? I mean, TeamViewer is recording it and sending it over wifi with no trouble, so why do actual screen recording apps require root?
Any advice? Does anyone know of any apps that do this?
Thanks!
Try using adb.
Download SDK for android from the android website
Go to SDK > platform-tools folder > right click + shift in the folder, open command window here
Type
"adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/xyz.mp4" without the inverted commas

But I'm not sure if this works without root.. Try "adb root" and restart and and see.. Not sure.

As far as I'm aware, "adb shell screenrecord" is only available on KitKat, which I'm not running.

Sideload emulator quuestion

I successfully sideloaded my SuperGNES emulated but I can't download the ROMS to it through the app. I am using chainfires launcher to access the app. Does anyone know how to get there ROM's onto it so I can play Super Mario and Zelda on my nexus player.
Enable dev mode, enable usb debugging, Install the android sdk on your pc/laptop, connect to the usb port in the nplayer, then from a command prompt...
adb push c:\game.rom /sdcard/roms/game.rom

You can sideload ES explorer, then go in tools and turn on network sharing. Then wirelessly transfer the data by opening that IP address

You don't have to sideload this. Just goto the play store on your pc search for es and click install. You'll see a list of your devices and the nplayer should be available to choose. That's how I got es on mine yesterday.

Both ES Explorer and Retroarch installed from the play store for me without any sideloading. Retroarch works perfectly btw.

Retroarch is pretty cool. Auto-detected Nyko Playpad Pro in game. Only tiny issue is that Super Mario Bros. seems to run fast but other games work flawlessly.

You need to go to the play store on your PC, then select Nexus Player when you go to install. It will push and install directly to your player.

You don't need anything besides the PC playstore for most apps. Simply install from the PC playstore and select your Nexus Player as the device. You'll also want to install Sideload Launcher from Chainfire from the PC playstore to your NP, as it gives easier access to all your sideloaded apps:

Guys how did you get the Nexus Controller to work with retroarch? I made it detect every button in the player 1 custom binds, but when I go to play nothing works.

It appears my install isn't as flawless. I have to force stop the app before I can load a different ROM, and apparently certain cores don't like the controllers. Not sure, but it's not perfect yet.

Let me know if you figure how to get it work. I have the same problem here, I can hit the "select" button with a profile, but never the "start" one.
Main reason I got the player was to play Super Mario bros on it (I have the asus "official" controller)
Tried Nestopia too, but worst results
Search for 'arcade' in the play store and you'll see some SNES emulators show up. You can actually install these and they show up on the home screen! I've been playing Snes9x EX+ with no issues
