I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi only. As I understand it, there's a 4 gig file size limitation due to how the memory is formatted. Is there a way to get around this. I have looked and searched multiple times not being able to find anything.
second questions, when I updated to touchwiz the sound on my videos and movies decreased significantly(using stock player) and 5.1 did not seem to work as well anymore, Thus I had to switch back to stock 3.1, is there a fix for this?
Thank you
Fellow noob here... How did you find out about a file size limit? I would like more info on this one if you can direct me to the right place. I've had my tab for a month. How did I miss this?

i searched for it on google, everytime I would try to put a movie on my tab over 4 gigs it would halt, didn't have this problem on my xoom which i returned...it probably is the rom...i might try a different rom
Please let me know if using a different ROM resolves the issue.
It is not a limitation of the device or the filesystem (as many Google search results suggest).
I have this problem too and I noticed it copies the files to a temporary file on the device. It seems to stop at the end when it is done copying all the bits. It should move the temp file to the actual location where you wanted to copy the file but it doesn't thus failing to place the file on the device and deleting the temp file. I noticed that if you rename and add a filename extension to the temp file before it is removed it will play in whatever media player you use. This is very annoying to have to catch the temp file before it is removed and rename it manually each time so it's not worth the effort. Especially considering the Tegra 2 can't handle High Profile h.264 anyways.

HI
I have check the SDcard Root and I have a lot of DiskCacheIndexxxxx.tmp
Does anyone know what are this files?
Thanks
good question
Good question I have about 50 of them!
Most likely app-created index files to hold the location of cached contents. Did a quick google search and you can find other refs to these files, mainly in other android and even other xda threads (G1 for instance) where in one someone said he went ahead and deleted them with no ill effects. YMMV

I found that already and delete the files..
but it has start creating new ones..
Thank you
believe they are caused by Quandrent Advanced. I only get them when I have that app installed. I just delete it and use Quadrent Standard and the files go away
I had this exact problem. It was caused by installing 3d froyo gallery from the market. After removing this app, rebooting (and deleting all the files in the root), the problem was resolved. Not sure if this applies to you guys, but figured I'd chime in.
Also, they are not caused by quadrant advanced, i've been using that for quite some time, and it never dumped files to the root of the card.)
Sounds pornographic to me
Just kidding. Anyway yeah it's Quadrant.

Instead of using 3D gallery from market you can use standalone *.apk from Nexus it works without creating any temp files on sdcard root.

I've had my gTab for about a month now. It's running Vegan and has CWM. It deleted a whole slew of pictures a few weeks ago (they were some comics I was wanting to read) from the microSD card I put in it and figured maybe it was a random occurrence, so I put the pictures back on it. Same thing happened. Last week I was in class and needed to record my professor's lecture, so I busted out my gTab and recorded away. After the lecture I made sure I could find the file on my gTab so I could share it with a few friends. Today I go to take the lecture from my gTab and it's gone.
Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a problem with Vegan? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate any and all help.
Don't know if this makes any difference, but before I installed Vegan and CWM, I got stuck in a boot loop using stock TNT. Installing CWM fixed it.
I can't help but this happened to me too. Also on the
external microsd card.
But I'm running tnt lite 4.4 ....
Don't trust any data to android I think is the lesson.
Known issue. The fix involves putting an empty file called .nomedia on the root of the microsd (aka "sd2") card. Search forum for ".nomedia"
The gtab likes to delete media from the sdcard2 when it scans for media. It is a known issue that everyone has but there is no good fix yet. Put an empty file named .nomedia on the root of sdcard2. It will stop the media scan and stop the media from being deleted.
Put an empty file named .nomedia on the root of sdcard2.

But then - correct me if I'm wrong - music players won't see the music
files on sdcard2 and you can't play your songs.
Nice Q&A google!
( just 'cause it'a "known issue" doesn't make it OK)
Albright, some media players do see the files, some don't it seems. The native player does NOT. In any case, you can navigate to the file using a file/root explorer and open them that way if necessary.
Correct about the native player - it won't see your music anymore. That's the caveat.
This has been a problem since Day One. It used to not scan /sdcard2 at all, then VS fixed that but then things started getting deleted (which is worse, imo).
I use "andless" or Rockbox for music, to get around this issue. I actually prefer a directory-based structure versus a database-based one.
andless looks good - also looks like it doesn't demand
too much from the battery. Aagreed that folder based players
are to be preferred.
thanks for that
I cannot seem to reliably transfer files between my Nexus S and my Prime using bluetooth. I almost always get a "Service Discovery Failed" or "Stream Closed" message. Does anyone know anything about this? Is anyone having similar problems?
Update: Upon further research, it might be because of the file type. Frigging ridiculous! It won't accept a .apk file via bluetooth. If you rename it to something else, like .zip the file is accepted. Is Google starting to implement some anti piracy nonsense?
I have lots of games I have purchased using SIM spoofing apps(Android Market does not support my country) on my Nexus S that I cannot access on my unrooted Prime. This is why I want to transfer them over from my Nexus S.
trying doing it via USB or sdcard. What I did was copied a few apks from my infuse to my home cloud drive. And then just used es file explorer from my prime to pull them back down and bad a Bing. Got them apps

That's a viable work around. But, it's tedious to do this for every new app I purchase. Anyway, the renaming file extension works but, I was just taken aback by the need for it.
I have been using androwook rom v1.5 but still can not receive apk files from other devices .. is there any solution other than changing the file extension will be accepted?
I just email the .apk to myself when I want it on another device. Never had an issue that way. Good luck
only zip files it is possible to transfer not apk
Dropbox is awesome for this, I backup apps using Astro & upload them to my Dropbox.
Comes in handy when you download a dud update like the latest YouTube app

I noticed an issue with my favorite file explorer the other day, when trying to copy a large file over wifi, it would fail every time when letting the tablet sleep. I am using an alternate file explorer for those large file copies but really wish I could move back to ES FE. Anyone have this experience? It fails literally every time I do a file over a few hundred Meg. I don't have the issue on any of my other android devices, but none have ICS. Maybe an issue with ICS and that program? Or just my Prime? It is not losing the signal, just stops the transfer--- still shows that it is going but never completes and file size never changes.
I have the same problem. Beside that I'm somehow unable to cancled a transfer, I had several failed downloads of huge files. Also switched to a different file-browsers which works without problems.
Mine failed too...
Can anyone confirm other devices that have ICS having the issue? It would be helpful to know if it had something to do with ICS or just the prime. I actually installed it based on recommendations from this forum and found issues with it on my first large file transfer... I can agree on how powerful and simple it is but switched over to File Explorer HD because it works. Not that I recommend FEHD, full of ads and still not "HD" enough for the prime
Is there a manual somewhere how to transfer files with wifi using es explorer?

It's not a prime (or ICS) specific problem. It happens frequently across all my devices with ES File Explorer. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to cancel a copy once it's started.
wohli - there may be a manual somewhere but it really is pretty easy. Just tap the "local" selection on the top left corner of the app, then choose LAN. You can either scan for servers with SMB shares or you can attach one by using the "add" dialog, that will ask for user/pw, IP or name, domain (optional). Then hold on a file from one of the shares for the copy option. Then use the same menu at the top left to get back to local, then tap the paste button at the top.
vels13 - Thanks for the info!! Question: Why do you think there are so many people that recommend ESFE if it doesn't even do a decent wifi copy? I have seen it plastered on every "first apps to install" post and "recommended apps" post!!

I actually like the app and use it for wifi copying, but it does halt frequently when copying files over wifi and that's kind of frustrating. Usually happens on really large files or when you queue up a bunch. I don't think I've ever been able to queue up say 10 video files and get them all to finish. The annoying thing is when it finally does stop copying, you can't cancel and restart, you have to force close the app or reboot phone. I've experienced this on transformer prime, galaxy 10.1, and my HTC glacier. Works great for smaller files though.
This is probably obvious, but I believe the Prime is set to turn off wifi when sleeping by default. This might be an ICS default.
You can change it under Wifi->Advanced.
Yeah, same here. Both my phone and Prime have that problem w/ ES.
I don't know if there's a better WiFi file manager on the market but I really like ES.
Even if wifi is set to sleep when the prime does... the prime will not fully sleep with a data stream going of any kind. Other File explorers do not fail when it sleeps.
vels-- Why would you use something that constantly errors, and has the issues that you described? Like I said, I am using File Explorer HD.. at least it works!
Does ANYONE know of a good file explorer that will pull files down from wifi reliably? It would also be nice if it had most of the features from ES and even better yet if it displayed at native resolution for our primes!!!
Anyone?

It works well enough for what I need it for 95% of the time. If I need to transfer a big file or a lot of files, it's quicker to do it over USB anyways.
guys,
you may use airdrod for wi-fi file transfer if that's what you wanted
Try Ghost commander. Not a good interface, but work well for wifi transfer, and you can see a speed - current/average.
it's the same man

Nothing new, the problem still exists, you can't move large files, I'm keeping try to move a 2GB file with no luck.
Hello,
I was browsing through Root Explorer, cleaning out some files, etc. and I noticed a file in the main "sdcard" path titled "music2_hprof_data". I'm not entirely sure what it is but it's averaging around 50MB. I've tried doing some research but I literally have come up with no results. Can anyone give me any insight on what this file is? The only thing I can really think of is that it might have something to do with caching my Play Music - although usually the music cache is in the Android/data path.
