Hi!
I'm using HD2Froyo V3 on my HD2 and have a little problem. When I copy files from my pc to the sdcard on the phone, they dont show up when browsing with the "in-phone" file manager. My question is, why not?
Just to make it clear:
I connect the phone to the pc with the USB cable.
The SD card shows up.
I can copy files to it, make new folders in it, no problem.
But when i disconnect the phone, and browse around on the sd card, nothing the ive edited with my computer is there.
restart phone
Awesome, thanks alot!

I assume you dont have the USB cable plugged in when you are doing this ?
Are you on the standard stock ROM ?

Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
PS usb was disconnected. Running Wild 0.7
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........
Thank you for the reply
Where did you get the card? If it was ebay that may be the issue

i am using the sd version of the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.5 CM7 and i cannot copy the files through usb ie it gets copied and then when i disconnect the copied files are not visible .......and sometimes they even get deleted ...So plz tell how can i get over this ????
You could transfer the files via Dropbox, the link below in my signature will get us both extra storage space.
welll i can copy but they r not visible or getting deleted ......
Are you copying the files to the sdcard? And what app are you using to browse for them once you have transfered? Root Explorer is the best file explorer imo.

Are you removing the usb device safely?
Usually if you copy files to the SD on android they will not be visible until you restart the device. You can make the media files visible using some apps, but other files will only appear after you restart.
Apparently, when copying files using My phone explorer, the app seems to make android update it's information and thus files you copy using My phone explorer will appear when you finish.
I have tested this with most sense builds, but not with Amercian Android.

This is false.
When you copy anything to Android's SDCard via USB/WiFi, the device immediately sees the files.
When you copy media files (pics/music/movie), the device sees the files, but the Media Service might not have indexed the files yet, so media apps relying on the Media Service will not show them (Music app f.e.)
IF you're copying files to the SD card via USB, safely removing the device from your computer, and they still do not show up on Android's File explorer, then i would check your SD card for errors...
P.S. Tested on HTC Kaiser running froyo/gingerbread, HTC Diamond running Froyo/Gingerbread, HTC HD2 Running gingerbread, HTC Desire running Gingerbread, HTC DesireHD running froyo/gingerbread. Multiple SDcards raging from 1gb to 16, class 2 to 10.
With americanandroid on SD, Theres a problem with usb files transfer (check FAQ'S on thread), u can do: reboot to wimo, copy files and boot android, files will be there, OR use the program for windows described in the FAQ (guess its Androidmanager) OR.. Use NAND Rom... ;-)
Hope it helps

I like that you tested it on multiple devices, but they're all running Android form device memory if I'm correct, right? you're not running SD Android. anyway I tagged a long and scanned my SD for errors and nothing was there. Using wifi and bluetooth makes android recognize the files, and yes media files have to be reloaded.
however, when copying non-media files through USB on several build I've tried before (can't remember which because I've tried almost every SD build out there) the phone will not see them even using a file browser, but they would appear on the PC. Resetting the device would make them appear. My only explanation to that was that certain builds would create some kind of "image" of the files on SD at the time, and would show you that image when you request the files. So if you add files using a way that doesn't update that image (here copying through USB) they wouldn't appear until the next start.
try samba filesharing from market.
you can copy files via wifi without usb.
Or you could use a card reader......
dropbox is great for transferring files wirelessly too

HTC Kaiser run android from sdcard (either SD partitions or image files on the main partition) long before there was nand.
I understand what you're saying, but i cannot accept it. It makes no sense.
Let's see, Android requires a minimum of 2 partitions, one for data, one for system. Those might be a SD card partition (in this cases), or 2 files on the SD card mounted using loop.
IF, you're using the second option, you cannot access the sdcard on the computer (it must be unmounted from android to appear on the computer, you probably noticed that it's impossible to access the sdcard when it's connected via USB as mass storage.)
So, you're probably using SD card partitions. Am i right?
it might be permission issue...

sorry didn't notice the Kaiser on that list. I don't use SD partitions, too lazy to do so, and I don't unmount the SD, had my share of troubles doing so in the past, I used apps like Dualmount SD and such, media files would appear after I force android to rescan media, but other file types would appear after I restart the device. So I came up with the best possible explanation. However, when I copy files with My phone explorer they always show up, whether media or not, could be the new build I'm trying, or could be that I'm doing something I didn't in the past, who knows.
Is anyone having problems writing to the SD card from computer ? I am on el30 stock rooted and I am getting errors when I try to copy files from myb computer to phone. I have no problems copying files from phone to my computer.

No. I copy back and forth all day. Your cable or sd card is probably going bad.
Hey guys I want to copy flac files to my galaxy s4 and I just cant the copy, process stops at the first flac file I can copy everything else it asks do you want to copy and convert? i say do not convert just copy and it copies it to the phone then stops at the end, if i go on cancel the file is on the phone but when I want to copy the folder (400 mp3s and some flac) it thinks it's not there. Anyone got same problem? Kies also cant copy flac file any ideas? thanks
I don't have any problem copying .flac files to S4. Anyway, the fastest and easy way is to copy to your microsd card using an adaptor directly from your computer. This metod is 100% working without any trouble.

Are you useing MTP connetcion? im doing it with the usb cable from my laptop, also I cant copy to internal SD android/obb folder I think it has some kind of protection because I can copy obb to micro sd and copying rar files and extracting them on the phone works too, are you useing windows 8? thanks
I would like to sort this out because I will take it back to warranty, if it's the phones problem
I do remeber now..I do had problems copying directly from my computer to the microsd card directly. The PC Is win 7 ultimate 64. I got a lot of disconecting and reconecting in 1 or two seconds. I could copy files with retry button from windows but after a lot of I simply get my card out from S4 and I copied directly to. There is a problem, I guess with the drivers from samsung. (I never ever used kies, so I don't know if that way korks or not, but if it is a problem with drivers thr problem should persist)

Hi Guys
The solutioni s simple. There is a problem with audio video codec in the PC - doesn't have anything to do withthe phone.
Uninstalling (k-lite on my pc) solved the problem
