Okay, so I cant delete or rename anything through file explorer or my pictures...only through total commander. When I try through the OS apps, it says it is write protected...ideas? The files are on the storage card...
Now, when I was surfing the web and trying to download a picture I had uploaded to the web onto my cell, it said that this device cannot download this type of file (it was a jpeg)...fix?
update:
I can't even attach pictures or files to emails now. what the f***?
this is really pissing me off...
tried moving the files to ram and it didn't make a difference.
so far I can't:
-delete anything through oem programs (file explorer and my pics)
-send photos via windows live or my pop account
-download any photos (i haven't tried files)
any help would be great...asap
Hi I am trying to install sqlce3.5 on a rom which dosen't have cf2.0 (cabs don't work) so I was thinking of manually copying the dll files to the windows folder to see what happens but I cant figure out how to access the windows folder from my pc (windows 7 RC if that matters) any ideas?
Via active sync choose the 'explore' options under 'tools' then a window will pop up. The default directory will be your documents folder what you need to do is go up one directory which will then be your device's root folder. Then from there you'll see the windows folder.
on windows 7 you have to use device manager and when i choose browse device it take to me choose either phone memory or memory card, if i choose phones memory the windows folder is not present and it cannot be seen even if i choose show hidden folders.
any ideas?
After device has sync'ed with pc, just open up your file explorer on your pc. Open 'My Computer' and then scroll down to 'Mobile Device'. If you expand this you should be presented with a list. Open 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device' and scroll down to 'Windows'
Thats the problem I am having I can get to the root just fine but when I am there the windows folder is not present like it is hidden, using view hidden folders dosen't help and typing in the path gets an error message saying it does not exist. I wanted to do this through windows but i suppose I will have to do it through the phones browser instead.

Open your file explorer on your pc, go to Tools > Folder Options > View and make sure 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)' is unticked
Other than this I'm not sure why its not showing

hi folks, i finally got a way to copy office / PDF files directly from computer, these files will show up in Office Hub/ Adobe Reader's Document List
before you start, make sure you get TouchXplorer work on your phone.
1. you need to do some registry hacks to make the wp7 device visible in My Computer/ Explorer , here you can see the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915664.
OR: Modify these Registry Entries
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&210a541a&0&0000\Device Parameters]
"EnableLegacySupport"=dword:00000001
"PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell"=dword:00000000
"ShowInShell"=dword:00000001
Once you're done , CLOSE ZUNE, you should see 2 wp7 devices in your computer, they're exactly the same. just choose one open it and you'll see folders like Album Video Music etc, these are your zune folders.
[TIP], if you open your device/storage and see nothing there, you have to delete one registry key and reconnect your phone.
the registry key is :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&210a541a&0&0000\
Device Parameters\DeviceSelectiveSuspended]
delete that key , and you'll see those Zune folders.
2. now we can copy files to the Phone and make them show up in Office Hub or Acrobat Reader.
first, pick one of the Zune Folders, never create one 'cause you'll never see it from the Phone. just use the existing folders , i recommend "Video" folder.
copy a file to the Video folder, eg. officetest.docx,
open your touchXplorer, goto "My Documents"\"Zune"\"Content"
you'll see folders like 0100 0200 0300 0400 0600, these are the music / pictures / video folders of zune, and all files inside are named using numbers.
now open "0400"(in my case, might be different on other phones, you have to find it yourself) and you'll see a folder named "02", open this "02" folder, what do you see?? yes,a "20.z"(the number varies) file, this is exactly the officetest.docx you just copied to phone.
rename the "20.z" files back to "officetest.docx" using TouchXplorer , double click the file ,it will open in office .
you can cut it, and paste to \My Documents of your phone, open Office Hub, you just have the "officetest.docx" there
even you renamed the "20.z" file and moved it to \My Document. you can still see the "officetest.docx" in the "Video" folder on your computer, you should delete the "officetest.docx" to save some space, it's safe, actually, when you rename the "20.z" file to "officetest.docx", the phone did a copy job , not just rename.
EASY Enough ???
3. well, you can do the same with .PDF files if you installed the Adobe Reader.
once you renamed this "xx.z" (xx is a number) back to eg. "mypdffile.pdf" using TouchXplorer, you may try to double tap the pdf file and open it. but to PDF files , it's NOT working, the adobe reader will say "invalid path"
I know exactly what's going on, office files are opened by office apps like word etc. they're WP7 Stock programs from M$ and got very high privileges, they can access any folders. but to poor Adobe Reader, it can only access its isolated storage.
so what we need to do is: find adobe reader's isolated storage folder and move the "mypdffile.pdf" there, you can then double tap the file and open it. and when you open Adobe Reader , you'll see the "mypdffile.pdf" right under the "Documents" list.
the Adobe Reader's IsolatedStorage folder is at
Code:
\Applications\Data\BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11A490-00237DE2..\Data\IsolatedStore
just put the pdf files here
-------------------------------------------
PS:
1. I'm chinese and my english sucks, sorry if you can't understand
2. the office program on WP7 and Adobe Reader 9.0 for WP7 really sucks
Nice Tutorial
Will check it out later.
Agree with you on 1 thing, Adobe of Windows Phone 7 sucks.
Office on the other hand is great.
please can you explain exactly what registry you must delete to see the folders thanks.....

I think it's easier to email yourself with your needed documents, and then downloading it with the phone from the email.

to me , i have some huge documents , over 50MB each, i have to copy them this way 'cause no email service can attach such big file.
18MB
I sent myself an 18MB PDF file earlier today. Checked my email on my Windows Phone 7 Device. Clicked the file once (waited for it download). Then clicked the file again to open. Adobe Reader was blank for about 15 seconds then loaded it.
I used Windows Live Mail
Nice one, I will have a look to see if I can place mobi and prc files that are for e-book reading using amazon kindle in its own isolated storage area as well.
I am 99% confident that this will work just need to keep track of the new files and should only be needing a chang to .mobi or .prc for it show up in the kindle app (that is if you have tagged your books correctly)

yes , this would work, just find your kindle program's isolated storage folder.
i suggest look into your \application\install folder to locate the kindle program, there're a lot of GUID Named folders. open one by one until you find the kindle program, remember this GUID, and find the same GUID folder under \application\data you'll reach kindle's isolated storage
heeeelp

Oh no what have you done?
What ROM are you using?
If it is XBmod/yukixda back to the future ROM, which came out 28 AUG why are you using instructions dated January?
I don't know what those registry hacks do.
If you know exactly what you did, tell us Exactly.
If not I think you will have to re-flash the ROM.
Good luck.
Still nothing is coming up in the folder. What do I do? and there is no folder in there starting with 6 they start with 7?
you can copy the files by using the sd reader,and then open it through the file manager...
You just need to find the way to put a dot before the name of folder.
In XP this would be easy but in Vista or Seven this might be harder.
When you put a dot for exemple on the folder .TEMP the system will say that you need to name the file.
Use an ftp client and connect to your pc and you will be fine renaming the folder.
To disable pics and movies to show up in the interface. you just need to put a file named .nomedia in the folder that contain those pics or movies.
In windows you can create a folder with a . by using CMD and the command "MKDIR" eg.
F:\>mkdir .private
Or simply use a file manager on your phone to create the folder.
Just use Astro file manager on the market.
Long press the file you want to hide/edit/rename/insert dot before filename.
Android then hides any pics you have from the gallery app.
Assign any video apps to scan the file without the dot, they will also be hidden under dot mode, but a rescan may be required.
Suggest app protector pro to put a security pattern on Astro.
I personally don't have any pr0n on my phone... No, really.
useful for thumb in album mostly...
don't need to hide porn if it's your phone
I use Es File Explorer, and have used other apps to delete files off the nexus 7 storage. However when I plug it to the PC and open the internal storage, I see the files are still there. The files HAVE BEEN deleted though, as when I click on the file, it says file corrupt, and doesn't take up space anymore.
For example I put a movie file into my tablet. I watched it, and deleted it after I'm done. I plug it on my pc and I see the folder and file still there.
how can I fix this?
It can be a pain because I use my nexus 7 to read my school documents.. sometimes I rename the file, and the whole thing is corrupt, as in I can't open it when I plug it in my PC anymore, because the names doesn't match. Or If I don't remember correctly which files I've deleted, and re-delete it when I use my PC, soon it will be fill with a lot of useless files when I open the internal storage on my PC.
Any help? I don't remember this being a problem before, I was able to edit/delete files, and it would show up as is on my pc.
Also, when I open a folder with pictures on my PC, some files do show the thumbnail, while other files just show the default pic file.
Basically my nexus 7 feels very 'corrupt' and slow when I browse the files on my PC. Anyone else have the same problems?
You could use ADB instead
