[Q] File transfer blues

My wife and I both have an HD2 Leo. Running the Android Nexus ROM. I am having a problem transferring files from my pc to my phone. I can transfer the files, but after there on the phone I can't see them in ES File Eplorer. I have tried refreshing the folder and even restarting the phone but the never show up. I can see the files in Windows explorer. I just started having this issue today and I've been using this ROM for about a week. Does anyone know what cause this? Did I change a setting ?
This happens on both phones and we're running windows 7 on the pc Android on the HD2 Leo. Thanks for your help !
I can even play the video through windows explorer by clicking on it in the folder that is actually located on the phone. So I know its there. Why can't I see it. . . hmmm
By any chance are you transferring the files while using android? Try letting windows mobile run, then using windows mobile transfer the files onto the phone. Lastly, boot into android and see if that works.
Let me know if it works or not.
Actually its funny you mentioned that. I did try that last night and it does work if I transfer in the Windows Rom. I can then see them in Droid. Whats strange is that I did not have to do that at first. Its like something changed then that happened and now I have to do that.

[Q] Problems with Ubuntu on G2

I have recently gotten ubuntu working on my G2. I have ran into 3 problems though...
1) after rebooting my phone and going into terminal (to start ubuntu up) i type
"cd /sdcard/ubuntu"
then
"bootubuntu"
Which goes off without a hitch, but when i start up the VNC so i can use the GUI, i get a problem. all the commands go through but it makes a new localhost.. which gives me problems because A) i dont wanna setup a new VNC everytime i wanna use ubuntu and B) When the new localhost:2 or localhost:3 (depending on how many times i run "bootubuntu") i dont know the port its calling for or whatever information its needs for to connect to it with VNC. (to see what i mean by this look at the screenshot i took!
AND SECONDLY...
2) WHEN i can get into ubuntu (the only way ive gotten it to work is when i use it the first time) (ie. whenever i wanna use it i delete the ubuntu SD card contents and recopy them over and re-run "sh install.sh" this doesnt take long to run but it does take long to copy over 2 GB of stuff to the SD card) Which definately isnt the way its supposed to be used everytime i wanna use ubuntu. BUT BUT BUT, when i do this and it works, the keyboard inputs in ubuntu or completely screwed up! Ive yet to find the answer online so if anyone can help me this would be much appreciated, but not useful if i cant fix my first problem...
THIRDLY...
3) When i try to use USB storage after running ubuntu in VNC it simply wont connect, I have tryed and tryed again. The only way to fix this is to reboot my phone, which is when i found my problem with restarting and not being able successfully restart ubuntu without recopying the files over..
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!
This is hardly the place for this post. You would get a much better response if this was in the G2 and Desire Z Android Development Forum.
Either way, I'd say you should try creating a virtual partition on your SD card and see how that works out.
will do, mods, please delete this post!
Posting your thread in General, Q&A AND Dev will not get your results. It will get you banned.

[Q] Ubuntu on my home pc... flashing android from it

Hello,
Ive been on this site for some time now and have flashed countless roms from windows roms, sd android and now, of course, nand roms. I have always had windows on my home pc, but after the experience of going from windows to android, I started looking for something better for my home pc. I ended up wiping windows from my computer and installed Ubuntu, which is smooth, fast and I love it. However, one thing has me stumped. I cant figure out how to get the tools, ex. SYNC, installed on my computer. I am trying to use WINE to accomplish this... anyway, im not an expert, but if someone could just give me a little help, I would appreciate it!!!
I hope i opened this in the right place...
I dont think I need the SYNC program, but when I try to use the DFT flash program, ubuntu says it cant be opened... I dont want to use microsoft windows anymore... help me obi wan...
VirtualBox and install a Windows image. That should probably work.
Not sure about sync, but for flashing, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
Although you probably know about this already

Windows won't see files

I am getting a bit frustrated. The plan was simple, I ran titanium backup, now just get on my computer to copy the folder over and flash the image. However as usual some dumb friggen issue has occured and an hour in, and I haven't even started.
I'm currently running cm10.1, and want to run the image to go to stock 4.3. Windows sees my nexus 7 but it shows up as "Unspecified device" and my computer is not showing it as a storage device . I have Media device enabled, so whats the issue? Is this a CM issue? How do I fix this? Thanks

unable to detect files with file manager

On my Nexus 7 running Android 6.0.1 build number MOB30X, I cannot detect files or folders using a my File manager or when connected to my Win 10 PC. Another Nexus 7 usng the sames lead connects to PC perfectly and File manager works fine. the problem arose when my grandson broke screen on his Fire tablet and I wanted to transfer his Minecraft files to another tablet. I managed to get the files off his old device and uploaded to Dropbox The Tablet I wanted to transfer to works perfectly on all the games etc. but I cannot get to the relevant folder. I have got hold of another older Nexus and was able to transfer the files. why wont the other one allow access to the folders?
