[Q] deleted my CAMERA folder! help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

while attempting to transfer pics to my GNex, i deleted the 'camera' folder on the phone and have no idea how to reinstall/create or recover that.
im also unable to move this pics too. im sure its quite simple, but i cant figure this out.
EDIT- camera folder is back.... i have no idea how/why
however, i still cannot transfer pics. the phone is connected as a camera and USB debugging is enabled.

Explorer App
You can download an explorer app from Andriod Market for easy file management.
Also make sure you pull down the status bar when you see the USB icon at the top, then click on the USB entry to connect as Mass Storage Device.
Once connected as Mass Storage Device your PC should see it. UNLESS you do not have the USB drivers loaded on your PC. In that case, load the drivers and try again.

Something got screwed up... o_0

I sent my phone in for repairs since it wouldnt boot anymore (the product of a botched KDZ update by me). LG managed to fix it and its been working fine until I got home and found that USB debugging and USB mounting has disappeared... o_0 I couldnt find the little android icons on the notification bar when I connect it to any computer. The LG PC suite couldnt find the phone. and even though I have USB debugging or Mass Storage only set to on, I cant find the icons or the options that normally were there at the notification bar...
On a sidenote: The error "The application LGMITS Service (process com.lge.lgmits) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." pops up once in a while... I dont even know what application that is... I havent opened anything like that. o_0
Is this LG's way of telling me that I shouldnt mess with my phone anymore? I was planning to install the JIT enabler and custom recovery at least and then install apps to my sd.
Or is something still wrong with my phone? I'm going to call them up tomorrow to ask about this but I would like to ask the community's opnion too...

I haven't english on my phone so, maybe I give you not exactly valid information and may be this menu disappeared as well.
So go to home desktop, press menu button, go to application --> developemnt --> USB Debbuging. Is there this menu?
The LGMITS force close was a bug in firmware version 10a for some Optimus One users. Upgrade to 10c removed the problem.
Correct me if I am wrong...
You seem to mean the PC cannot detect your phone.
So you dont see the debugging or usb connected icon on your phone notifications.
But you activated them in Settings. So the options are there but it just doesn't work?
Was at least an unknown usb device detected by the PC?
Firstly, though unlikely might want to check if its the usb cable itself the problem.
Connect the cable from PC to another phone...see if it detects a connection
or try a spare cable if you have one with your Optimus One and PC
If cable is not the problem,
and there is totally no detection of usb connection on PC and phone, you might want to check with LG...
USB Debugging is set to on... That part I know how to do but I remember when I set USB debugging and Mass Storage on, there will be 2 icons on the notification bar when you plug them in to a computer (regardless if PC or mac). An Android icon which looks like it has spider limbs and I forgot what the other one was... And in order to set them on or off, you just had to drag the notification bar down and click Mass Storage. That brings you to a screen where the Android mascot has a USB cable for an arm... I dont see these icons anymore.
The PC saw a USB device when I plugged it in... And it even said something about an LG device. But I still cant access the SD card from my PC or Mac without Mass Storage on... I dont have another phone that can use the data cable but the phone charges with it on the PC/Mac/ wall charger.
also: I looked into the internal menu and it says I have SW Version Info: LG-P500-V10b. Not 10a... and how do I upgrade this if my phone is inaccessible? =c Even the PC suite says that the device isnt responding...
You can delete LGMITS.APK and dex in System/App
for detect phone try turn off mass storage while cable is unplug then connect it to PC again
10A = NEU zone
10B = asian zone
10C i found both NEU and SEA
all rom use same kernel version only interface/language is differ
have you solved this sir??
i have the same problem

How to transfer files

Hi,
I am completely new to android coming from WinMo.
I have 4 new Nexus S phones in the family. I need to transfer some files to all of the phones. There is no SD card, only 16GB Flash. All of the files I need are on my mac, but I can use PC as well if this is easier.
1. How do I transfer music and video files to the phones from the computer?
2. I have several large .apk files on my mac (Large enough that I cannot e-mail them). I would like to sideload them, but cannot use SD card method. How do I transfer them to the phone for installation?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible, as I never used android before. WinMo used to be easy with Windows on PC.
Thanks a lot
Sincerely,
Mike
You can connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable.
Hello,
The way i would do it is to transfer the files over usb via a micro usb to usb cable connected to your computer, of which should come with the phones. I only know the process for windows but mac should work the same.
Before you connect the phone to the computer you must make sure usb debugging is enabled on the phones you want to connect. This setting is found in your applications menu, in there click on settings then applications then development then check the box 'usb debugging'. It will come up with a warning message read if you want then press ok. While you are there you might as well check the box 'unknown sources' under applications which will allow you to install your large .apk's from your internal memory rather than the android market.
Once this is done you now need to connect the usb cable. If all is good you should see a green little android with a usb cable for a hand. Click on 'turn on usb storage'. This will hopefully send windows to fetch drivers for your phone to install it and any future sd card you intend to buy as a hardrive listed under my computer. IF you have software on the phone that is used to sync media this may take your phone and display it in my computer as a portable device.
Once the file is on your phone you can then send that file over bluetooth to the other phones if you prefer may save a little time if your in a rush. This is between phones. Go back into settings found in your applications menu. This time go to Wireless and Network, go to Bluetooth settings and in this turn on bluetooth (must be done for each phone though when you want to transfer). Now you must pair the phones that will be transferring before sending/recieving files. To do this make sure the THEIR phone is set to be visible and then 'search for devices' on YOUR phone. You can skip that 'search for devices' step simply by clicking on the name of the phone if it shows up saying 'paired but not connected'. You will get a warning if they are connected, and you wont have to pair the two devices again.
Now you can go back to the files you transfered from usb and find it in your file browser, long press on the file and select share, then bluetooth then it will send a notification to the other phone. On the other phone to accept the incoming bluetooth file you must pull down the dropdown menu (slide downwards with your finger from the top edge of the home screen) and accept via the notification.
Goodluck.

1. Use a USB cable.
2. Use this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-central-sideload-wonder-machine-v-1-2-a.html . I recommend using the installer version (for windows) and make sure you have the drivers installed for your device.

ICS and USB debug/Mass storage

With the new ICS firmware (and I don't know if its all ICS) you need to turn off debug in order to use Mass Storage.
Is there any application or other way around this? It gets a little annoying to always have to do this.
Titanium backup needs debugging on for some of my apps and if not using mass storage mode the phone connects via MTP mode which is very slow
I would willingly pay for an app/widget that does the following
Once pressed turns off debug and asks you to plug in USB for mass storage.
Prior to disconnecting the USB cable you select to disconnect which then un-mounts the storage and then turns back on debug
figure should be easy to make for some dev out there
Anyone have an idea on this?
Guess no one out there has an idea
Hmm, for me the only difference running ICS and checking or unchecking dev option/USB debugging is whether or not I can manually unmount the phone in Windows, it always connects as a media device and I have no otion to turn that off.
Mediamonkey takes forever when my phone is connected as MTP (say 15 minutes to build the sync list?), and the only real option to use it to send fresh music to my phone WAS connecting it as mass storage (15 SECONDS for the sync list).
So I would really really appreciate any hints on how to get my S2 to connect as mass storage. It's the official ROM rooted using Chainfires respective kernel.

Or at least an app that selects and deselects the option automatically as I mention above.
Sure a dev somewhere can make lots of money for an app like this

Thanks for the info but I already knew this.Also you didnt need all these steps in gingerbread and previous software versions.
Also for people using USB debug this must be turned off before being able o do all of the above.
Im just saying an app can be made that does all of this with one click
Well, get onboard here, test and say if it works.
I have USB Debugging always on and I am currently running LP7 version of ICS.
When I plug in the the phone I get the Media Device (MTP) coming up on the phone - which is ticked.
In Windows Explorer (Windows XP) just below Control Panel (in the folders window) is a +GT-I9100. Clicking on the + I see a subfolder +Phone The items in this folder are the Internal SD of the phone.
From this I just drag and drop. I haven't noticed any difference in speed between this new way and the old method in Gingerbread.

Try transferring a large file you will see the difference between transfer speeds in MTP mode and mass storage.
Also with MTP you can only do one thing at a time. For example let's say you are transferring files. While doing that you want to erase something else. It will wait for the original transfer to finish prior to starting

But will this work even with debug on?
Yes. As mentioned in the linked post:
- connect cable
- classic "usb connected" notification appears in notification bar with option to do usb mount
- adb available.
Doesn't like my Mac either
When connecting my galaxy s2, I get the attached error.

MTP wont even work properly on my Windows 7 machine. It refuses to update the explorer process as long as the phone is plugged in. So navigating the phone means a lot of plugging and unplugging to get anything out of it.
Changing to UMS means my 2 devices (Internal SD and External SD) are visisble right away, but sadly are not displayed with any storage bars underneath . As a result I can't access them anyway and the second my phone goes to standby it stops the "process".
So any help or hints how to get my damned phone to actually work and show the storage bars underneath is most welcomed.

How to connect to PC without opening USB Mass Storage??

So here is the deal - earlier I could connect my SGS2 to PC with USB Debbuging turned on, and nothing poped up and I could use storage and sd card on PC and at the same time on the phone, like open it with some file explorer, and install apps when still connected to PC... Sound awesome, because now there is this - When I am in USB debbuging and connected to PC, it cant find storages, so I have to disable debugging, and there pops up this USB Mass Storage when i connect the cable. When it is connected to PC, I cant access files on the phone in that moment.... So what is wrong??
Will be pleased for all suggestions..
Thanks

When you connect to computer, dont do it in Debugging mode. If you change it windows (forcing MTP) dont like that. So it will require you to remove phone and reboot. But try the following also
delete all old drivers and remove them in registry. (if needed check the below link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Still not working go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.
