A stupid bug in S Memo deleted all my existing memos!!
To replicate this:
1. create two folders, say "folder1" and "folder2", and create a couple memo pages in each of these folders.
2. in root directory (i.e. "S Memo"), create a pile, say "pile1"
3. use Move function to move all pages in "pile1" into the folder "folder1". now only folders and an empty pile in root directory (but no memo in root directory).
4. at root directory long-press "pile1" to delete this empty pile
5. confirm at the message "The pile will be deleted"
6. all my existing memos, including those moved pages inside "folder1" and any other folders (including those protected with PIN) are now gone!!!
this bug (#6 above) happens when there are only folders but no memo directly in the root directory.
written by a furious GNote user.
ok, thanks for the feedback, now i know what i shouldn't do.
Thanks for pointing this bug out.
How on earth did you find this? Is this something most S Memo users will encounter, or do we really have to look for it, like you did? Does this only affect rooted users?
I really don't want to find this bug. I noticed this bug because I lost all my memos while I was taking notes in a meeting!
ps. My device is not rooted, and I regret this. With root + titanium backup, I may have had my own backup.

If so, maybe I should try sync with Google Doc, even though the content will be converted to an image.

Google note sync works great. Have been using it well .
Titanium works with S-Memo - somewhat

Just found out that if you open and edit a note the content re-appears - so it is saved and restored with Titanium, but has to be recreated from the dataset. I have so many memos that I wish there was a quicker way to restore them than to open each one.
Anyone tried saving them to a Dropbox folder?

Sorry.. wrong thread.. delete
@cyman777 Excellent find!
With the more recent software revisions S-Note can sync to Evernote by the way. Since I don't have an Evernote account, I cannot say if notes get converted to an image as (reportedly) the case when syncing to Google or if they get synced in their native format.

Though I have surprisingly lost all my notes TWICE as well, i tried to replicate the process as you described but all the folders & the files inside are still existing this time! Nothing has been deleted after deleting the last empty pile & while making sure there are no individual notes on the root! So i think this bug does exist, but may have nothing to do with single notes on root or not! Please advice if you have found an explanation or a solution to this serious problem!
Life changing!
This happened to me twice, resulting in me not wanting to use the S Memo app anymore.
Lost a good ~30 sketches the first time and a lot of notes the second time.
I cant trust this app anymore, and it was so close to being that one thing i always needed.....
What were you doing messing about with the root directory in the first place. Surely it's not a bug but more a user created error!
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app.
root directory of S-Memo, not / (=root) in the filesystem structure. Hence an application bug, not a user created error.
Did any of you already report it to Samsung? Otherwise it wont get fixed anyway...

It just happened to me. 100 sketches and notes, neatly organised in piles, all gone. I am an architect so I sketch not just for fun. I have filled many physical sketchbooks over many years until last fall when my dream gadget was introduced by samsung, with S-Memo being the one killer application that tells the whole story of the device.
So the Note is a device that you can draw on with a pen and every now and then it deletes everything you drew.
I am running out of words for this.
- sync methods -
I just posted a similar sync alternative in one of my threads a few days ago, which can be used for S-MEMO as well:
This is my workaround for *in this case* S-Memo:
You need:
- A Dropbox account
- A Dropbox sync app like Dropsync (link)

Sadly S-Memo seems not to store the drawings in an easy to find folder (please tell me if i´m wrong!), Note Everthing makes it easier here...it places a folder on your SD Card, which contains every single note you take (JPEGs, textfiles, Soundfiles etc.).
What I´m doing is the following: Every here and then, I´m exporting my sketches in PDF converted files (just hit the menu button in the "root directory" of s-memo and you´ll see what I mean). Now all your sketches will be saved automatically to your s-memo folder on the internal SD card. And here the content of my thread again:
I´m autosyncing this folder to my Dropbox via Dropsync...and voila, here we are, I´m happy!

Of course, there is GDocs as well (and it works well)...but I like it more to have my sketches on my desktop when I´m at home without having to visit the browser and download my stuff again.
Verizon GN3, updated, stock ROM, not rooted.
I have a 64gb MicroSD card installed, and put a copy of my photography website on it. I find I am unable to figure out a way to open it in Google Chrome.
I used ES File Explorer's FTP function to begin with, to copy files from my website to the card, and this worked beautifully. When I click on the index.html file on the card, the only options offered are HTML viewer and some text editors. Chrome is not an option (Chrome is the default browser for my phone).
If I long-press the file, and select Properties, I can copy the Path for the file, but when I paste this into Chrome's URL bar, it won't open:
Access to the file was denied
"The file at file:///storage/extSdCard/PhotoWebsite/index.html is not readable. It may have been removed, moved, or file permissions may be preventing access"
I have searched quite a bit, and tried various addresses, including localhost, localhost/mnt, etc., etc., but nothing seems to work.
Ultimately I want to have a Bookmark in Chrome where I can view my website offline when necessary, but this seems to be more complex than would appear necessary.
Any help appreciated.
Bump - came off first page without any replies.
Does anybody here know how to get an html file on your MicroSD Card to open in a browser??
Seriously? Is there no way to accomplish what should be a fairly basic task: for a browser to open up an html file???
If you use My Files to navigate to the file and then select it does it not give you options as to how to open it?

Thanks for the reply.
And unfortunately, no. My Files is a more basic app than ES File Explorer, and when I locate the file with it, and select it, 2 options are given:
Complete Action Using ES Note Editor or HTML Viewer.
Chrome or other Browser are not provided as an option.
HTML Viewer is apparently a type of minimalist browser, but fails hopelessly as a way to view webpages. No controls, no resize, etc. And I haven't figured out any way to get HTML Viewer to send anything to Chrome or other Browser.
As I said, this is really quite puzzling. It should be a no-brainer for a browser to open an html file, regardless of its location. Hopefully I'm missing something basic, but I've done quite a bit of searching and experimenting, and can't seem to find the trick, or particular syntax, to get this working.
Hmmmm.... Very weird! like you said, you'd think it'd be a simple task. I may play around now, just because LOL

I had run across one or two like that in my searching, but haven't tried them yet. I like to keep my systems as 'clean' as possible, and so my first choice would be to do it natively. It seems a lot of the problems people develop with their phones, lagginess, various quirks, etc., arise from some odd app or two that doesn't play well with others, or which fix some problem, but create others.
But reading the reviews of the app you linked to, it does seem to fill a pretty major gap that is apparently present in the Android OS, so may be worth a shot.
Thanks.
That was the first thing that came up in my search and I agree with keeping the phone "clean". I'll keep looking

Well, I went ahead and installed 'Open in Browser.' It installed without problem, ran it to select my preferred browser (Chrome), but when I try to open the file, with either Chrome or the stock Browser selected, I still encounter that same dang error message.
I even rebooted the phone, just to make sure, but no joy.
I have emailed the author of the app, to see what the deal is, and will post here if he replies.
Is there some type of Verizon 'protection' or 'security' software running by default that could be getting in the way? Any other ideas?
No responses from anyone else. This seems to be a built-in security "feature" of Chrome for Android, which prevents it from loading an HTML file from an External SD Card. I can't figure out any way around it.
I went ahead and copied the files to the GN3's internal memory:
files:///storage/emulated/0/PhotoWebsite
And I am then able to open the files without any difficulty in Chrome. I have kept the "Open in Browser" App, as it does add the option to open HTML files to a Browser directly from a File Manager, which comes in handy.
I have created a Bookmark for the link for ready access to it within Chrome, but weirdly, I have to long-press and select in Open in New Tab to get it to work. A simple tap, like any other Bookmark, doesn't work.
Fortunately, I have a lot of available Internal Memory, but I should be able to put the files on the External SD Card, and be able to open HTML files from it.
I am still interested in a way to do this, if anybody has any suggestions.
Ignore - duplicate entry. The forum seems to have a glitch here - every time I post, it warns me it can't post another within 20 seconds, even though I've only clicked it once.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the .html file can also be opened in desktop programs like MS Word, right? Have you tried any programs like open office or QuickOffice?

Thanks for the reply.
There's nothing wrong with the file itself (nor any of those from my website), so yes, it can be open in other programs (including HTML Viewer in my Note 3). The problem, as I currently understand it, is that Chrome (and the default browser on the GN3 as well) has some type of security provision that prevents it from loading HTML files that are stored on an external SD card.
When I copied all of the files to the GN3's internal memory, a "pseudo" SD Card, they can be opened without any difficulty.
Why it is this way, I have no idea, nor if there is any way of circumventing it.
Hi DLCPhoto,
I see the last post here was December 22, 2013.
Have you come up with any solutions as of yet?
I am having the same experience even at this late date using Android 5.1.1 Lollypop in a Samsung Core Prime
Standing by . . .
Unfortunately, I never figured out a work-around. I just gave up and put the files I wanted on the Device's memory, where they can be readily accessed.
I'm still using that Note 3, and don't know if anything has changed with more recent versions of Android.
Sorry...
I have read and I like the new restrictions on "external SD card" use. It will prevent a lot of apps from leaving crapola all over your device.
It does not restrict your use of data etc. It just keeps you organized. If you want to uninstall an app and still keep its data, you can simply move the data to a new folder.

True - I only root my devices when they are out-dated.
I don't think the 8013 has reached that point yet.
I am still happy with its performance.
But what I am understanding is apps are corralled to their own folders. This implies to me that some I rely on will cease to work. Example:
I use folder sync to keep lecture notes synced between my 10.1 and S4. By my read of KitKat, folder sync will be prohibited from writing to the lecture notes folder.
What about photos? Different apps to adjust photos depending on what I want to do.
And what about ES File Explorer. Won't it become useless?

There aren't. I've had KitKat since weeks after release (S4 GPe). I've been in touch with many developers and made them aware of the issue before it went mainstream. Bottom line, here's the limitation in the simplest of terms.
-An app can read any file on the MicroSD Card.
-An app can only modify contents within a self contained subfolder
So, file managers won't work if stock and unrooted (read only, no writing). FolderSync doesn't work. ES doesn't work (it will tell you that it created/deleted/modified the folder, but then when you refresh, the change never happened).
A good example of how this works would be with a bare bones gallery application. If you store your photos in a random folder within the SD card, the Gallery app can view them. However, if you try to delete a picture, it will only remove from the gallery and remain on the SD card. After a device reboot, it will reappear in the gallery (this also happens with Google Photos and the stock Gallery app).
Another way to do this would be for the gallery app to copy all photos to the gallery subfolder and ignore photos outside of this folder. And if you remove the app? Photos are gone (except what was at the original location). But, this just causes duplication issues.
Lastly, applications can be given permission to read/write to VERY specific ContentProviders and folders. So eventually, you'll have a shared folder called "Pictures" that any gallery application can modify as needed. However, this function is, again, for very specific usage and still prevents file managing apps from doing what they're intended to do.

Seems like the android team need to add some sort of "firewall" implementation, for apps users WANT their old ability back and still provide their users with this security for the majority of their other apps, it doesnt have to be all or nothing, .......make the most secured option as default, for basic users, while giving the power users the option to "fine tune" it, i.e. the "firewall" analogy

Just to be clear, if I write an app and want to write (not modify) to an external SD card I must write to the self contained folder.
Is that correct?

I don't see how you think it doesn't restrict a user's data but keeps the card organised, when I have all my data (a LOT of work PDFs and docs, plus some photos), all nicely filed away and synchronised with my NAS, and other tablets; and now I cannot do this. I cannot organise my content at all (actually I am struggling even to put it on the SD card, except by taking it out out plugging it into a USB adapter into my PC). Until now, I have never had any apps leave crapola on my SD card. I used to be able to save lecture recordings direct to a nice "recordings" file on the SD card. Now it has to put it somewhere obscure (android/data/.somthingrandomthatisapaintofind).
It seems this works on some apps and not on others. For example foldersync doesn't seem to be able to write to the external sd card anymore, nor does X-plore, however, Es file Explorer seems to be fine about it, and happily writes files to the sdcard?! So if ES can do it, why can't the others?

I see - you are just using the USB cable I assume. The functionality I have lost is to:
a) wirelessly synchronise multiple pdf/document files in multiple folders and multiple subfolders, whether edited on the Note or on PC (or both).
b) Used a file management app to organise files & folders on my home network between my PC and external SD card. It was even able to wirelessly copy my work direct from the NAS.
None of the apps I used stored any files on my SD card and because they have taken away my access to my SD card I cannot sync my files properly. I realise I could just plug the cable in, but that is not practicable when I am editing 100s of documents in 100s of different subfolders a day - an automatic sync is fantastic. Android is strongly geared towards the "leisure" side of the market and I am going to have to take another look at Windows tablets if they don't fix this (except I would miss the S Pen!)

What device are you using that can write to SD using ES? I have the Galaxy S4 GPe (i9505G) and ES cannot do anything with the SD Card.
Have you updated ES? I heard they upated to fix it.
As I understand there is something called storage access framework that is supposed to be the replacement for direct file access.
I haven't seen kitkat. FolderSync is my biggest concern.

I'm on a Samsung galaxy note 3, with kitkat 4.4.2 and ES file Explorer 3.1.1
Yes, thanks to a post somewhere on XDA I am now using ES file manager, which as you say, will work with the ExtSD on Kitkat (though I still prefer Astro myself).
I still can't sync my content though which is the bigger problem. I used to use SyncMe. A fantastically easy to set up App that would seamlessly sync content across multiple devices (still works fine on my Note 8). I can't find anything to replace this at present.

Go to Play store and download the LG Backup (sender) to your current phone(old device)
Open the app, select how to transfer (probably wirelessly) on the V20 go to LG Backup - receive data and then hit start on the old device.
Is LG Backup preferred over Helium for non-rooted phones? I have never done this, go from a non-rooted Note7 to a non-rooted V20 (likely my plan next week).
I need to know what the best course of action is for doing this, Tap&Go, Helium, or LG Backup. I want as little setup to be required on the new device when I get rid of my Note7....
I feel like this should have been perfected by now considering whenever my girlfriend gets a new iPhone, she has all her apps and app data transfer over without hesitation, all the way down to whatever level she was on in Candy Crush (ugh) without using any type of login to the game itself to know that via cloud backup or other. I've never used Helium before but I started using it last night for backup and it appears it might go smoothly, I just don't know about restoring just yet.
My V20 is supposed to be delivered today. My plan is to use the LG Backup to transfer apps, then Helium to transfer most of the app data. There are some app that Helium can't backup but most of them just needs a login/password to get back up and running.
edit: batch restoring with Helium is usually not as smooth as the backup part. I normally would get random errors that Helium has stopped during restore. But when you open Helium again after the error, you can see which apps restored and which apps didn't so you can manually restore individual ones.
I just used LG backup. So far everything looks good. I did take a Helium backup of the app data in case I find something missing.

It looked to me to be about the same as smartswitch, but I have not yet really dug into what it copied. I know for sure it copied apps, photos, and SMS. It spent quite awhile copying "personal data" which I am assuming is app data.

The amount it copied under that was 4gb after zipping. That is a lot more than my files. Particularly since all my photos and videos were on the SD which I had physically moved to the V20 before running LG Backup. That is why I am thinking there had to be some app data in that.

LG backup is so slow and error-prone because data transfer size is so big. It zip files and send over BT(?)
so helium backup is good one?

You are right. Much easier on an iPhone to transfer to a new iPhone. Android sucks when getting a new phone although Google tried to make it a little easier in the Pixel.
Hello everyone
I'm sorry to be a pain but I'm having a bit of trouble.
I accidentally deleted my "Gallery" folder from my phone and had not set up a Cloud backup ie Google Photos, Samsung Cloud etc.
I tried several recovery programs however they could recover various stuff but not the Gallery folder or its contents (approx. 2000 photos)
Some of the software said I needed to root my phone which I did and then ran recovery again, but none of them found anything.
Doing more research, I am trying to go down the route of extracting the RAW data from the phone to look at it that way using ADB but I am pretty much stuck trying to find the folder or data in the phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Or should i resign myself to the fact I have lost my photos and put it down to my error?
Im not overly tech savvy, so if you do have a idea, please be gentle, Layman's terms
Anyway, Thanks you in advance and have a beautiful day
Tony
I have faced similar situations earlier, but everytime I have managed to recover atleast 70% of the images using the following apps.
* DiskDigger (by Defiant Tech)
* Undeleter Recover Files & Data (By Fahrbot PRI)
These two apps are far best (as per my experience) to get the job done.
Try and see if it works for you. Best of Luck.

I will also vouch on these I have used them to recover some photos before the key here is to quit using the device as soon as possible so those data locations of the pictures are not over wrote.If it is soon enough they still may be there,Under the marked for deletion state

Hi OP - How did this work out for you? Also I am in the exact same situation but I do not have my device rooted.. Any advice on a solid guide to root my device? Were/are you able to unroot the device later?
