Leave it alone. If you remove it, your gallery will be flooded with app crap. It's not a bug.

You can not access your android system files by just connecting phone with USB cable.
You can run a FTP or SSH server on your phone and then connect your phone with a FTP or SFTP client. You can transfer files with phone.
I run sshdroid on my phone for ssh server and connect with winscp from my PC.

Active Sync copy files to micro-SD Card error ||| HELP!

After a hard reset my HD was fast again and no errors. I installed all software I need, and before that I could copy files to the micro-SD of my HD2 from Win 7 Explorer while Active Sync was activated. Now after setting up everything I get an error everytime I want to copy a file that explorer cant copy the file. Using the SD-card as HDD causes no such errors. Only when Active Sync and Mobile center are active. This happens not all the time, but most of.
The pic shows the software i installed to my HD2 (internal on phone)

This has been covered many times before , and with a search you might have found it but i will go over it again ....
This has been a known issue with Activesync for a long time, I say known but less common, it is more common with W7, but still there is no rhyme or reason as to what machines/phones it affects, (if someone knows please tell me), it has to do with the conversion module in activesync, but that is all I know about it ...
The Way around it is SIMPLE, connect your phone to the pc and "forget activesync exists", and when the little box on your phone pops up asking how to connect select disk drive ... Your phone will then show up as a removable drive and you can copy files fine ...
If you no longer get the popup box goto "Start Menu>Settings>Connections>USB to PC" , and check the little box that says "Ask me ......."
Thx. Yeah, maybe I could have used the search more precisely. And what you wrote lets me hesitate in Microsoft once more. But hey - ok, I can live with that. And using the card as drive is what I´ve been doing since and ever when this bug/error appears. Thx anyway.
(Was just thinking it had something to do with some app I installed or something, sorry for wasting your time btw)
try settings menu all settings connections usb to pc and UNtick "faster data transfer.
seems to help for some.

Yeah forgot that ...
I have been looking around at this, I think it actually may have to do with a codec issues, when you install 3rd party codecs it may screw up the built in conversion in activesync, even though the file does not really need to be converted, when activesync goes to check the file to see if it does need converted it bombs ....
Ok, thx you two.
I figured out now that it must have to do with this error report.
communication (0x80072745) error connecting Windows Mobile device

I updated the driver for the mobile device via online update at the hardware manager snap-in and since then this sporadic appearing error did not occur again. Hope this was the solution.
I really hope so.

GigerBread 2.3.4

Hi all,
Currently I'm using Sensation XE. Therefore need some advise.
When I plug in my USB cable to the PC, it give me this few option:
1) Charge only
2) Disk Drive
3) HTC Sync
4) USB Tethering
5) Internet pass-thru
At default i set to (1) Charge only. But if I wanna access the SD card, i need to select (2) Disk Drive. But it will dismount the SD card and become removable Disk.
Is it suppose to work this way? If so, How to I copy all those files I backup from (my old HD2) into this phone?
Or rather i wanna copy some movie or files from PC, how to go about it?
I also have backup the favourites from HD2 (WinMobile 6.5), which fodler do i put this in? It also seems that I cant see the systems folder even when i enable it to be viewable in my comp.
Many thanks for the advise.
This is how android works
You can put your files into any part of SD. Use any movie player to play or open your file.
Android system storage stores system files, data, apps, games only. You won't see and edit system data unless you got root access

When I use the HTC Syn, it dun allow me to indicate where should i install (Phone or SD storage). Moreover it go to a certain like 'Document', 'media'..etc
This is where i need to go search for them.
Weird things is when i import mp3 songs, it dun go to the 'Music folder' as i expected. Can't seem to locate where they are. But when I launch the music software, i can see those Mp3 song inside.

Why don't you copy and paste it manually? So you will know where do you put those files. HTC sync is a software made by HTC to sync those important stuff between phone and computer. Normally it will be installed in phone memory as sensation has a large internal memory.

I can't even move files across if I dun use HTC Sync.
Cos it will unmount the SD card and treat it as removable drive.
Furthermore the folder I see via the phone using ES file explorer and what I see on the comp is different.

Anybody else facing same issue or if someone can please guide on what i am doing wrong. Also where i can found the drivers?
Why are you connecting it?
If its for tethering(sharing 3g) use wifi hotspots, and if its for file transfer use a free program called My Phone Explorer, that will allow you to pair properly.
I eant to use it for file transfer. I usef to connevt easily with my all earlier phones. It start the hardware scan and then nothing.

Jesus christ. YOU HAVE YO USE A MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OR THE XS WILL TREAT YOUR COMPUTER AS A HEADSET.
1. Install MyPhoneExplorer
2. Stop posting in this pointless thread.

My friend, you are not a moderator or staff here. If you know something about it just write. We do not need to ask you before posting a threat or post
Thanks Scratchling for your useless piece of information - it DOES NOT solve the problem so unless you've got something useful to say please butt out.
I'm using PC with bluetooth adapter from my USB hub and I paired my phone first and no problems at all.

Exactly what mjones said...read up and learn about it...watch videos on YouTube...there is very few limited ways to access files and adb is a graphical version for viewing it

i downloaded n installed droid manager 6.1.1 n i still have a problem that couldnt connect 2 my smart phone..it keeps say "waitin 4 device"!!!
Please read proper instructions...download android SDK and use its built in adb method....as I've stated before its not a graphical program and is all command prompt base...currently there is NO program that will have a graphical interface that I have seen and my guess if you really have no knowledge on how to setup and use adb you'll have a hard time learning the proper commands to push and pull stuff from the device...best bet for you I think would be using a root explorer and copying and pasting it to your external SD...working on it from your computer that way and using the same method to put it on....there is 2 reasons why your adb is saying that...1.) You don't have the HTC sync drivers installed properly on your system or 2.) Your phone isn't in fastboot mode in the bootloader

[Q] Copy files from device to pc hdd via adb shell

I am having trouble finding the right command to copy a file from a device via adb shell to my pc. I tried -mv- but that just renamed it.

yeah I tried that. I think that since my phone is locked, I can't su the shell. I actually tried a single file also. No luck.

I don't have to unlock my tablet to pull files. You are doing the command from the PC, right, like in a DOS box? You should be able to see the files by doing "adb shell ls /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/". "adb pull /sdcard2/DCIM/Camera ." will pull all of the pictures on my Hisense external sdcard into the current "." windows directory on my computer.
