[Q] Post bootunlock and root problem! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just finished unlocking the boot load and rooted my GN using the GNEX toolkit, and restored my apps fine.
However, Dropbox did not seem to work properly. I was able to login, but couldnt access my files correctly. For example, I was able to open my Keepass file, but not able to save any changes...it would just complain about not being able to save.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Dropbox and KeepassDroid, with no success. The wieird thing is I also tried to browse the SD Card using ES File Explorer, and I'm not able to delete the Dropbox .thinkfree directory, nor am I able to delete/copy/move/rename the local Keepass directory and file...it just complains that it cannot perform the operation
Any help?????

[REQUEST] Defy Moto Phone Portal

Hey, I've been searching for the Moto Phone Portal, but have only found V1 which apparently does not have the file explorer. Any way to get V2 or just a version with a wifi file explorer?
If you're only interested in a wifi file explorer/manager i would suggest to try webkey from the market, free, easy to use and doesn't require to install anything on the pc, any browser will work fine.
Me too
ok so on CM7 we don't have phone portal. I installed v.029 and V1 and i can't backup my contacts or import the.csv file to phone... very annoying. Tried to restore with Titanium... no luck. I guess the old ones have compatibility issues with the 2007CSV format. It asks for a 2003... but i have Office 2007... and it cannot save in the older format.
Overall how do i put my .Csv and .Bak files back on the phone?
Can anyone please extract the phone portal.

Gallery issue

Not sure when it started, but if I download any image from any browser (chrome, FF, Opera, etc) whether on WiFi or not, it doesn't end up in my gallery/download folder. It is if I browse my files with any file browser (the one pre installed, or any at the play store). I download images at work because we don't have internet access and I was able to connect my phone and get them to the computer via windows explorer. Now, nothing. I know they exist because of the above mentioned file browsing within the phone.
I can get them to show up if I reboot the phone. --Annoying.
or run media.Re.Scan (from the play store). --Shouldn't need another app to do what it should do by itself and what it used to do.
I've looked for the .NOMEDIA files on internal/external memory and removed where necessary.
Cleared the cache/data/force stop/disable/re-enable for the gallery and media storage
Removed all photos/songs/videos from the phone in case there might have been a corrupt file and deleted the folders.
Nothing works but the two listed above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't recall installing any new apps of late so I don't know what caused it.
edit: not rooted. bone stock.

Weird permissions issue

So I've got a problem and hopefully it's not something stupid that I've done. I got my 6p yesterday and immediately did a nandroid backup and flashed Pure Nexus (and SuperSU 2.67). For some reason I'm totally unable to download, delete, etc, a lot of the files on/to internal memory. If I try to delete a file from the root of /sdcard/ it works, but if I try to delete something in /sdcard/Download/ it doesn't work. I checked permissions for files within /sdcard/Download/ and the permissions are rw-rw----. If I go into Root Explorer and try to add Execute permissions it tells me the change was not successful. Any ideas?
Ok so I figured it out. When I got my new phone I copied files from my old phone to my computer, then copied them back to my new phone. I swear I've done that before without issue but apparently this time it messed up permissions big time. I was able to rename the folders via PC and create new folders via Solid Explorer, but still couldn't move/delete the files. I ended up booting to TWRP and was able to delete the folders using the file explorer there.

Unable to open files from a network share, using ES Explorer Pro

Any time I try to open a text file, or other files such as cbr's, I get gerror messages that the file can't be found locally. Or when I try to install apps from apk's, I get an error that the file failed to copy. I'm not sure why this is, as I have never had these issues with ES Explorer Pro on any other devices. Usually I just tap the file I want to open, it caches locally and then opens. With the Mediapad I have to copy the files over to the tablet before I can use them. Which can take a long time if it requires several files.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, by changing permissions or whatever?
The same use case works fine for me but with FX File Explorer. Which is, imo, way better than ES. ES started fine, it was one of the first but went to the wrong direction, becoming over bloaded.

Files App Showing 0 Byte APK in Downloads Folder

Hi guys,
I was checking my download folder today using the default Files app and saw this .apk file that I didn't download. Naturally, I wanted to remove the .apk but when I tried to remove it, the function failed.
I tried to get more information but there's nothing I can do to the .apk. I can't open it, copy it, rename it, etc.
Next step, I plugged my phone into my computer and looked at the internal Downloads folder via USB file transfer. I could not see that specific .apk, even with view hidden objects on.
So, I went into my file manager app (Amaze with root access) and went to the emulated Downloads folder, same thing. The folder did not show the .apk at all.
I opened up SD Maid and see if they can find and remove the file, but nope, didn't work.
Now, I'm thinking it's probably just a bug with the Files app so I deleted user data and cache, restarted my phone and all that but still, that .apk persists.
I'm at my wit's end and I have no clue how to remove this file. Any help will be appreciated.
