in phone (Astro) all folders have the same "permissions": drw
over 2GB free memory...
I don't know if it is Xperia issue or Windows 7...

try setting al the permissions to rw-rw-rw
Sent with my Sony Xperia S using a little bit of KA magic.

I can't. No root so Astro and TC don't let me change att... But all filders have the samebatt so I think that problem is smth else

I have same exact issue. For example my clockwordmod folder is perfectly visible in any Android folder browser, but in Win 7, it's invisible in Explorer. Same thing on 2 computers I have....
What's going on? I want to backup my clockwordmod nandroid backup on my PC and am unable to do it...

It is because MTP connection. It's kinda buggy (xperia u-> it happens too). Install Sd mounter from play and use mass storage mode.

Something wrong with alarm!

Hey guys! Whenever I set a alarm,I can't seem to choose my own songs! Any idea why that is so?

I think the alarm doesn't rely on the gallery to read all the audio files on the sdcard, unlike when choosing a ringtone. So if you're not happy with the default alarm sounds I suggest finding the folder where they are placed and add there the files you want. I think you wil need a file explorer with root access for that.
Just put the sounds that you want to use as alarms in your sd card, under /media/audio/alarms/ it should do the trick

You'll also need a rooted phone to do that and find an app that will allow you to access system files, such as Root Explorer.

Well, you have two ways, pushing the sound files to /system/media/audio/alarms (requires root) or pushing the sound files to /sdcard/media/audio/alarms (no root required), actually you can enable usb storage and in your computer create the folder media, then create the folder audio inside it, then create alarms inside that one and push the files easily.
This method also works for ringtones (/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones) and notifications (/sdcard/media/audio/notifications)

Yup I'm rooted and I have Root explorer Thanks for the help!

[Q] Can we access internal storage?

Can we access internal storage? And if so how? Can we add/delete files?
Yea. Doesn't give option to storage when USB connects. Was just asking the same thing.

Select "Media Sync" - It uses MTP and the device will show up as a separate drive in Windows Explorer.

My home PC is WinXP and MTP no-workee. I installed Airdroid and it works great. It's a decent workaround.

I have the SDK on all my machines at home and work just so I can do stuff via ADB. I'm not a developer or anything, just comfortable with cl interface from the old DOS days. It didn't occur to me but that could be why MTP works on my Win7 box. I honestly don't know enough to answer that.

How to keep apps in homescreen folders sorted alphabetically?

Here is a folder sorted alphabetically as desired (I drag-and-dropped each to order):
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I just rebooted the phone and here is the folder now:
Same with my other folders. Just wondering if there's a setting anywhere to keep the apps sorted alphabetically? Looove using folders so hoping this is possible Thanks!
Anyone? :-I

Download AppZorter Lite on the Play Store, this can remove the gaps left and sort the apps by name or install date automatically.

Thanks! I tried this and sorted, but my folders still the same (Applications did sort, though, and that's awesome). I even restarted phone.

No one else encountering this?

[Q] Question about a folder.

Hello everyone. I have two questions to ask.
1. Can I delete the LOST.DIR folder because it's taking huge space on my sdcard (894 Mb) and what is it? (First image)
2. What is that other in my sd card that I've highlighted in my image and how can I delete it if it's unnecessary? (Second image)
The file manager I'm using is Solid Explorer.

that folder contain recover files during bootup, so i guess you can delete it, or you can rename that folder then look what happen, if nothing go wrong, you can delete anyway, hope that help, thx.
You can remove the files from the folder or even delete the folder, but if you have so many files in the folder something is going wrong with your file system.

Dude, some pendrives such as DATATRAVELER or TRANSCEND are NOT supported especially that one with NTFS partition. Try to reformat to FAT32.
Also our Xperia's cannot read pendrives just like that. This feature is NOT built into our devices. We need an addon. Try using a Usb Host Controller (it's a free app) or USB OTG for Xperia ARC (that one is a paid app but is cheap - about 0.99$ and I recommend that one). Both of them of course needs root.
When you'll manage to connect, use ES File Explorer and try to find folder at your SDCARD named as usb, usbdisk, usbotg or slimar named folder.
That is the root of your pendrive. Don't use your disk too long. 5 to 20 minutes it's ok but copying HUGE movie from it to your SD Card for about 60mintues it may harm your device. Be careful!
Ok thanks :thumbup: going to test
