Has anyone been successful with using this?
Ive tried every configuration I can think
of. The channels does sync to the sd but
all I get is a blank page when I try to
read them. This problem was brought up
by some people in their forum but its been
several months and support has never bother
to reply. Maybe I can get lucky here.
Please tell me before I waste anymore time
on it.
- it seems to work fine on mine...have you tried just syncing the files on the PC and just transferring the files onto the SD card?
Yup have done that still no go
The index file is not transfered or something.
I give up.
Avantgo is speedy and trouble free.
2MB ought to be enough for each day's reading. :?
Hi
Each time there is modification in File structure of My photon, every App starts freezing...failing to access their files.
For Example:
Dailer Hangs trring to play rington on incoming calls
Winamp fails to list songs
Is this becuse i have close to 1000 songs on Internal Stroge and every time it tries to make new file indexes ?
What file structure changes are you making?
It sounds like you are talking about the internal SD card...might need to copy everything off of it to computer and reformat it...
Yeah...i mean everytime i add a new song or a new video to the Internal Stroage through USB or Air Droid...the Whole phone freezes for few hours....unable to access files. It is only after 3-4 hours that it starts working normally..
Any idea, what could be the issue.
Sorry...no idea what could be going on.
I was thinking, maybe it the number of files are too much that why ?
Has anyone loaded a 32GB Card full of 1500+ Songs to Photon
I have a few questions I hope somebody can shed some light on regarding images and videos...
Problem 1 - Dropbox Image Resolution
Firstly, it seems that Dropbox auto-uploads scales down the photos? Is there a way to stop this?
I noticed because my images are always sideways because of how I hold my phone taking pics, but then in my dropbox folder they were all portrait, so I checked image resolution and they are indeed smaller?
Problem 2 - Photo distortion/corruption from Windows File Transfers
Also, when copying photos from the phone to computer via USB (MTP), many of the pictures become corrupted. By corrupted I mean really strange lines across the photos and colour distortions. The actual pictures taken are fine because on the phone display in the Gallery they show perfectly. It is just when copying to PC they seem to corrupt. The photos are a mixture of some on the memory card and some on the internal storage and the problem happens with both..
This has happened to me on random photos (I transferred 150 and probably 30 were corrupt). I have tried this on two computers, one that has Kies installed and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit installed, and another computer that has no drivers installed apart from the ones Windows installs.
The file transfers were using Windows Explorer. I also tried with Kies and had the same problem.
Importantly: When trying a second or third time to copy the corrupt files, they copy fine and the problem disappears.
I noticed the Dropbox problem because I thought, well the photos are already uploaded so I can just copy from there without any photo problems, but they were all smaller resolution?
Problem 3 - HD Video Stutters
And my final problem. I copied a video taken on the phone to the PC (taken at 1080 full HD) it is a couple of minutes long in broad daylight. When viewing on the phone, quality is perfect. However when playing on the laptop (Core i5, 4GB RAM, Sony Vaio) the video has some stutters and distortion/corrupt bits.. it seems to play fine for a few seconds and then the video goes all distorted, then fine, then more distortion?
The problem appears on videos saved both on the phone internal storage, and on videos saved to memory card (class 6 SanDisk microSD)..
I have plenty of space and RAM available on the phone, it is only a week old, I have setCPU set to use Lazy CPU governor, using SIO scheduler, and I have dynamic hotplug disabled and all 4 cores running. Phone is rooted, with CWM touch..
Has anyone faced a similar problem or have any suggestions? What is the optimum way to transfer my photos to computer? Should I store photos and videos on internal storage or on the memory card?
Thanks
mine is like this, it should be 2mb and its only 333kb

only i did cut and paste and now left with nothing. is there way to recover it ?
That is a perfect example of what happens to my photos...
As for recovering, not too sure. NEVER CUT things you don't want to lose. COPY then delete after.

Never had any corruption at all ever .
You may have something else working in the background during copy ????

Do you mean working in the background on the phone or the laptop?
I was transferring some background pics to my phone last night and the connection kept dropping and files became corrupt, many many files became corrupt and unusable..
This happens in both MTP mode and the "Camera mode"..
I don't understand what is going wrong.. My phone is pretty much stock apart from my NEAK kernel.. I don't have any apps using the USB..
Don't know why the files get corrupted the first couple of times you transfer the, but for automatic transfer to Dropbox, Google, and my web domain I use FolderSync. Seems to do the job without compressing any pics/videos.

Thanks I will use that app for dropbox sync, looks awesome!
I just checked and there is no compression of my Dropbox Camera Upload syncs at all. Maybe it's your ISP? Are you using 3G to do this? Orange compress and alter the quality of images downloaded on webpages over 3G. I know because I've only just switched to Three and Orange used to do this all the time to all 3G connections.

You are 100% sure that your photos taken at 8MP remain at 8MP after using Dropbox Camera-Upload option?
Standard dropbox upload should remain at 8MP, but the camera-upload function that automatically uploads photos as you take them, that compresses them I think?
Do you experience any of the USB problems I ask about?
I have an HTC one s, had it for a few months and just today it started to eat up all the memory on the "external card".
It is located in DCIM .thumbnails.
I know there is a fix of changing the folder to read only and sorts.(changing the file to read only works for a few moments then a new file generates with a new number.
But I do not just want to do a fix, I would like to know how I can trace what is causing it and fix it
the thumbnail file keeps increasing in size when I erase more files, right now it is at 1.2gb.
If you can guide me on what is causing it, it would be helpful.
So my question, What is causing the thumbnail to be getting to 1.2gb, a larger size then my photos stored.

it might be so because the thumbnails are not deleted if you delete the original picture..
say if i have a picture "a" now the system will make a thumbnail of it as "a*"
now if i delete "a",its thumbnail "a*" wouldnt be deleted..
So i would recommend you to delete the thumbnail folder and let the system recreate it afreash..
Thank you for your response.
Let me explain further.
I usually run my phone super low on memory since it does not have an expandable memory slot.
So it is usually around 40 mb, then one day it said it was full so I scan my phone to find my biggest downloads and transfer them to the computer, well I did that several times, removing over 500 mb, then a few seconds later it says it is full again.
I repeated to erase more downloaded files and it continues to get full, that was when i found the thumbnail file.
If it has never even been the size of 500 mb, how can it jump from one day to the next to over 1.2 gigs and continue to create the file after it is erased?

Once try what i said..
Sorry, I thought I had placed that I had erased the thumbnail folder, but I just stated the files.
I have erased the thumbnails folder several times and it works longer than just erasing the files.
