So I've noticed that if I try viewing the pictures from my Note 2 in Windows Explorer while I have my phone plugged into my computer via USB, I'm not able to see thumbnails of the pictures.
I'm forced to either look at them one by one, or copy them to my computer to view them.
Anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this? I did some research and some people suggested installing Samsung Kies. Well, I did that, and I guess that since I'm running a custom ROM (Eclipse), Kies says that the device plugged in is not compatible.
Can anyone help?

I get this as well, but to add to this.
The Kies software that you install on the computer does not work on stock verizon note 2s either, it will only work on international versions that don't have carrier customization.
Have you tried using the Kies app on your phone? If your ROM has it, go to your apps list and look for Kies, start it up and it'll tell you an ip address to type into the web browser on your computer, do that and you can view and download the images off your phone using wifi.

Hello all!
Before I ask my questions, I would like to say thank you to everyone on the forum. While I haven't posted anything before now, I have been a heavy user of XDA and have learned more than I had ever anticipated. To list all those I have followed or have provided me with some great information would take weeks so please accept my general thanks to everyone!
Now, I have searched high and low on this forum for a solution to my situation and have failed miserablly. If anyone can provide me a solution, link or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
I am currently using 2 devices and about to add a 3rd. My main phone is a Samsung Captivate which has been rooted. I'm running CM7 w/ the GLITCH Kernal and too many mods to list. My second device is the Samsung Infuse which is completely stock. My next device is the HTC Vivid which I have no clue what will be done to it.....
What I would like to do is use my phone as a media hub. I would like to be able to walk in to my house, plug my phone in to my TV via HDMI and then pick up a tablet or my computer and be able to control the media on my device over my secure wifi connection.
I know I could plug my laptop into my TV and control my the media on my laptop via my phone but that has it's limitations as well.
So the scenario:
I walk in and connect my device to my TV. Grab my laptop/tablet and start my music or a movie and be able to respond to text messages.
I know I'm asking a lot but any assistance would be great!
Hello
Im looking for app for windows/linux that will be able to show me the screen of my htc desire, because my display does not work (its just black) everything else works and I have to do some things with it.
I want to connect it with usb cable to my laptop and when i will be able to see my screen of desire on my laptop it would be awesome
Regards Oliver
I would try this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
MyMobiler is out for Android: http://mymobiler.com/. I'm not sure if you can get it installed and running without the screen on your phone, but it's worth a shot.
QtADB
It is something like QtADB
QtADB website <-- windows only i think
Thank you guys
I will try all of those, but before that accident with my phone i flashed android 4.0.3, so i hope that will work fine
and i hope when i connect my phone to pc, it will not ask for superuser privileges, because i wont be able to tap on enable and i will be screwed
but i have to wait for my friend, because i lost my usb cable in delirium
Thank you, will report later
I know that MyMobiler does need superuser privileges. The Yes button in SU is quite large though, so you can probably hit it from memory.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

AWESOME
mymobiler works, thanks!
I use the Android SDK's built-in DDMS myself, but it is mainly for screenshots, not as a display replacement option.
Hello,
I have this Samsung Galaxy S2 GT - I9100, which I originally rooted when it had Gingerbread 2.3.4, then using Mobile Odin I flashed it ICS 4.0.3, XXPLQ. Everything went smooth. Until a few hours later when a few apps started disappearing. 12 total. I tried restoring them with titanium backup (from a backup I had done before flashing ICS) but it won't let me do it. I can't reinstall the apps from Google Play either.
Any ideas on what should I do?
Please explain with as much detail as possible. I'm still new to the flashing roms world
Thanks,

hi and welcome to the forum.
to improve the chance of getting good answers, you should change the thread title to something like "disappearing apps after ics update" or something similar. just stating the device's name is redundant, as you are in a section of the forum, which deals exclusively with that model.
also, questions go in the q&a section, but don't worry, i reported it to be moved.
also, you should post, what specific apps you are talking about and of what kind they are, are they free or paid, are they generally available on the play store for your country? have you checked the play store from a pc to look for those apps? ...and so on. being really specific makes it way easier to help.
Hello, you are correct, i'm sorry for the title and lack of more info. I can't edit the thread title so, if you or any other moderator can do so, feel free to do it.
About my problem, I could not give more details because there was no much relevant info to give. There were 12 apps total that suddenly disappeared after flashing. Among those were:
2 games from Game Insight (Airport City and My Country)
Mobile Odin
Akdiko Reader
Mantano Free Reader
Complete Edition UEFA.com
Amazon.com Android App
Virtual City playground
Angry Birds Space Premium
and a couple more I can't recall
I didn't see anything in common among those apps, except the error was that it couldn't install on usb storage or sd card.
An hour ago, a friend of mine pointed out to me that I had a problem that I should look for the sd fix, and directed me to download CF Root 5.4 (I used CF Root 5.3 to root the phone after flashing the firmware).
Apparently there is a bug with 5.3 that caused this on some games and apps (no idea why). So, I flashed the new kernel root and all is well, I was able to restore the apps and data with Titanium.
I guess this same bug caused these apps to "vanish" in the first place.
Thanks for trying to help and sorry I failed stating my problem better. I hope now that I explained my issue and solution helps others.
If a any mod read this, please change the thread title accordingly.
Best regards,
formatting your phone is the best idea

Why is that?
And I just converted a movie with Handbrake, added it to the Kies Library (under Video), Synced and see that this POS software put it under /Phone/DCIM/Camera instead of /Phone/Movies.
Amazing.
That is correct music / media Video . DCIM why ask Samsung .

I did: I contacted Samsung via the Support section of their site for Kies.
Don't expect much beyond a canned (non)-answer so I turned to XDA for real solutions.
Is there a way to look into the Kies code and change the destination folders?

for the the MTP feature works the exact same way as usb connection would do...drag and drop. only difference is i dont get to choose, it just connects automatically.
Right, though slower I understand.
Still need to be able to browse the files. How do you do it?
The phone SDCard doesn't mount in Mac OS X. Does it in Windows?
How do you transfer files from old SD card to DNA? I have the contents I want ready to be transferred but the DNA does not show as a drive on my machine.
Once Windows sets up the drivers automatically it will ask you what you want to do with the device... I am using Windows 8 64 bit.... Our you can use websharing app to transfer then over WiFi on the same network

Hmm..it never setup drivers. It just shows two "CD-Rom" drives....one of which is inaccessible and the other is the VZW crap. Restarting...
Ok, I am in business now. Thanks.

It is not going to be a new drive letter, Windows will open up options for you to chose from and one of them is to see the files on the device and do whatever you want with them.
It is not as fast as USB but still ok for most purposes.
It was fast enough for my needs. Just copied pics from my old SD card, that I did not feel like moving to dropbox or the cloud. I rarely plug into a computer....unless i need to transfer some flashable zips, but it looks like that may not be happening in the near term.
Thanks
double post
Ok so Im also trying to figure this out? What are the steps? On my Inc2 a box just popped up on the phone screen asking me what I wanted to do. Could someone just tell us the steps they used?
Nevermind... So stupid it shows up as a devices in my computer...

I am still not able to install HTC drivers unto my laptop. When I open HTC Sync Manager and try to let the drivers install automatically it says there's an error. And I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Windows 8. Has anyone had any success transferring files to your phone?
