Hello.
I have mp3s in a folder on a 4GB SD card ... during the day i use resco audio recorder to play them.... for some reason I have been getting files (256k in size) that show up as a box in FILE EXPLORER or RESCO EXPLORER (they have no properties; creation date, name, etc) I cannot delete them.... any suggestions?
thank you for your time
just try first to do a soft-reset on your device, then try to delet it, if it doesn't work, u can simply erase it using active sync via your pc desktop....
doesnt work...
I tried taking the SD out and using windows xp {FAILED}
I tried active sync as you suggested {FAILED}
I tried from within using File Explorer, and Resco {FAILED}
and yes I tried soft resetting.
Thanks for your help.
Any other ideas?
qu1nn
anyone?
i think the next thing u should try is using an external USB memory card reader for desktop pc, it will be detected as mass storage, you can try delete it using windows explorer.. hope this will help.. anyone has another suggestion?

It finds all the files when I select to update the library. But when it tries to add them, the the status bar stays frozen and then it doesn't add it to the songs to the library. When I had windows mobile 5, I never had this problem. I have the At&t Version 8525. I can still open the folder and play it though. Small problem, but it bugs me. Anyone know what is going on?
Delete the WDRM folder from the memory card than try again.
solution
using the file explorer delete MSMETADATA folder in the store card on the root directory.
many thanks guys.........
just a small thing, by default the MSMETADATA and WDRM folders are hidden
so you'll have to set your pc to show hidden files, or you could use an alternative browser (such as total commander) on your ppc
try reading the wiki next time. the solution to this problem is in there.
EDIT: heres link to page in wiki about this:

sorry, im new to this forum
Hi, first off, I have used the search button to find a solution and have not been able to find one. I have a T mobile Dash and a SanDisk 8BG micro SD. I flashed the device with the 080314 rom and I am able to see the large SD. At first I was able to drag mp3s to the SD through file explorer and they copied to the SD. Now when I try to drag a file I get a circle with a diagonal line indicating that the drag n drop is not allowed. I cannot drag a file to any location of the device not just the SD. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, are you using ActiveSync (for Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista)? I'm only familiar with ActiveSync... On ActiveSync you should make sure that your USB connection is not disabled. Go to File -> Connections -> then click the appropriate button to enable USB connectivity. Hope this helps.
Hey Rip, I am using ActiveSync 4.5 in XP. I found that if I use the Shortcut that ActiveSync created on the desktop I can copy the files. I will let you know if the problem returns. Thanks for the fast reply.
Been looking for a thread on this but cannot seem to find it. How does one go about doing this? If I download an app to the computer and want to install directly to the phone, how can I do it if Kies does not allow me to do it? It keeps telling me it is not the right format when '.apk.' states it is.
BTW, is the lastest Kies suite v1.5.1.10074_2?
Switch to mass storage on your phone and transfer the file over.

You don't need Kies. Just connect your phone as a "Mass Storage device" to your computer and copy the apk file either to the internal or external sd card. Then using a folder organizer (either the inbuilt or any other app like astro) locate the apk file on your phone and click on it. It should then prompt you to install it.
Hope this helps.
adb install
Or if u cant use USB cable, just transfer the .apk file to your SGS via bluetooth then find the file in your SGS. default is:/sdcard/bluetooth then ryn it from there.

Estrongs File Explorer can access any share on your computer directly.
Also, you can use adbWireless (just search for it). Assuming the SDK is installed, you can do:
adb connect x.x.x.x (your phone's ip address)
adb install your_app.apk
No usb connection needed.
Thanks guys. I transfered the file directly using the Mass Storage method used Astro to gain access to the file to install it. Great help from all of you. I do appreciate it very much. Again, a big thank you.
Dropbox is also great for transfering apk-files to your phone!

That's what I'm using
Perfectly fine, and even very practical. I sometimes give out links to my dropbox to my friends if they want an app that they saw on my phone.
Whoops, double post.

Can you offer any additional info? Have to used Root Explorer or a similar app to confirm without a doubt the files are gone and not just in a different place? And I am slightly confused when you say "move to sd card" because internal storage and SDcard on this phone are the same thing since there is no EXT..
I copyed files as usualy from computer to the nexus
After the copy (I copied the new google apps zip) this zip is ont the storage, but all other 12Go of data in the card are disapeared
I try to find it with windows, root explorer, es file explorer, I tryed android undelet tools and windows undelet tools... noone can see the MTP memory of the nexus .......
And I disabled the upload to picasa..

Do you have fast usb charge enabled? If so, try disabling that.
all files in /sdcard disappeared
The same thing just happened to me. I copied 386MB of music to /sdcard/Music and all appeared to be fine. I used Windows7 x64 Explorer over USB mounted as MTP.
I noticed that I could not copy some files back to Windows from Nexus. After messing around with that for a while I used ES File Explorer to check out /sdcard. Only a few folders were there, as if /sdcard were newly created. I could still see all of the lost folders in Windows Explorer.
Am I screwed?
TIA!
This is from a corrupt MediaStore DB. I ran into something similar when moving files to my phone over WiFi using File Explorer. Afterwards only a handful of folders showed up when connected via USB. Only way to fix it is to reset the DB. Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage > Clear data/cache. Reboot. It should completely rebuild the DB after the boot, and things should show up correctly again.

That did not get all my data back, I must have done something else while trying to fix it. The good news is that this fixed one of my next questions: How do I reset the Google Music album art? The suggestion above fixed that wonderfully.
Thanks!
So I recently found out that I cannot delete the contents within my SD Card, worked before.
I have tried it with the stock file explorer from samsung and ES file explorer. What happens is that I try to delete it, it disappears, then I load up the file manager app again and the files are there!
I can load up these files no problem (video files and everything plays well)
Does anyone know any way to fix it?

Download, " Folder mount" from google play, it will detect a faulty SD card & will fix it, reboot, you will have again a functional Ext. SD Card.
