[FIXED] My Documents Folder Disappeared!!

I think it as something to do with the new OS version (5.2.1921 Build 18521.0.7.0), because in all latest ROM's with this OS I don't have anymore
the My Documents folder in the PC side, I still synchronize everything inside it but I do not know where it's stored.
For example I have notes in the PC but I cannot find them anywhere, but when I flash with different ROM they appear in the Trinity, so they must be stored somewhere.
Can someone give me any thoughts abut this??
Thx

What a noob...

Copilot 8 - Saving favorites without success

When I save favorites in Copilot 8 I can see them as long as I don't close the application. When I restart it all the favorites (and also the recent targets) are gone again.
Did someone face this problem or could give me a hint how to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

I had this problem before, but I can't remember the exact file. Basically, there's a file that you need to enable read/write access by finding it in Windows Explorer and unchecking "read only" in the file's properties. That fixed it for me, but I can't remember what file it was.

Thank you for your reply. The folder supposed to be writeable (and acutally shown as writeable) is copilot/EU/europe/save as I found two files named favorite.lst and recents.lst in it.
These files are shown as writeable as well. Do I have to gain root to make the folder and/or the files writeable not only for the owner?

Called Copilot Support and got the answer that they are aware of this problem and there should be a newer version to hit the market within the next weeks to correct this.
Aditionally I was told that there has just been released a froyo compatible version, just to let you know.

Finally helped myself .
Within the copilot folder there is a file named user.cfg. The path to the save folder was not set.
So I closed two cases in one go: Moved the maps to the external sd card and set or changed the paths in the user config file.
Now everything is working as it should. Maybe this information can help other people to solve the problem more quickly then I did.

Can copilot be installed on an external sd card? (sdcard/sd)?

The program itself can't but as I said you can move the maps folder to the external sd card - you just have to physically move for example the EU (if you are in Europe like me) folder to the external sd card and then change the path in the user.cfg to this directory to the new path (there is more than one entry for this directory in the user.cfg).
Perfectly worked for me.

user.cfg
Hello Olympicchicken,
I think I have the same problem you had but when I came to verify first of all if I had the files favorite.lst and recents.lst, they were none.
I downloaded those two files from a Copilot Live package as saw on the internet but still nothing, I can save my favorites.
When opening the user.cfg, the path to save the favorites and recents are the right one:
[Data]
"VersionedGrid"=-2147483640
[Directories]
"AddonDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/addon/"
"AudioDir"="/sdcard/copilot/audio/"
"CitiesDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/cities/"
"GlobalAddonDir"="/sdcard/copilot/addon"
"GPSDemoDir"="/sdcard/copilot/gpstracks/demo"
"LRGeoDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/places/"
"LRGlobalSaveDir"="/sdcard/copilot/save"
"LRGPSSaveDir"="/sdcard/copilot/gpstracks"
"LRGridDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/data/"
"LRInfoDir"="/sdcard/copilot/info"
"LRSaveDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/save/"
"PolyDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/polygons/"
"RazorCacheDir"="/sdcard/copilot/save/razor_cache"
"RegionDir"="NA"
"RootDir"="/sdcard/copilot/"
"SkinDir"="/sdcard/copilot/skin/"
"SpeechDir"="/sdcard/copilot/speech"
"UIConfigDir"="/sdcard/copilot/uiconfig/"
Do you have any ideal what could be causing this by any chances?
Thanks for you time!
Have a great week-end!
P.s.: I have Galaxy S with Android 2.1 and Copilot Live 8.2.0.218

As for me, I have the samsung galaxy S and I cant even save. I moved to external SD card and changed the user but it still dosnt work. I dont have a "favorite.lst" file, neither a "recent.lst" one. I reinstalled and I still dont get them.

Same here, I can't save my favorites after upgrading to 8.2.0.218. It seems that's a problem with canadian adress. Someone have found the newer version 8.2.0.368 ?

The Problem seems to be with Canadian Addresses, ( actually 1 did work for me ) but it was only for testing. US Addresses had no issue
Any fix?

This helped me sort but the save directory that resolved it was not the one in the copilot directory..
The offending line in the user config was
"LRSaveDir"="sdcard/copilot/<region>/<country>/save/
for me the line said "LRSaveDir"=2
I changed mine to reflect my phones directory structure..
"LRSaveDir"="sdcard/copilot/EU/UK/save/
**When I did that all resolved and even my previous saves came back.
So I am happy again.

I had the same problem. I had deleted some files on my SD Card and somehow something got corrupt(happened when switching between 3 different apps while driving).
I'm on the road at least 4 days a week and use co-pilot to route my gas buddy stops and save them as trips. All of the sudden it wouldn't save my recent data and all of my save files were not accessible even though the files were in the map save dir ("sdcard/copilot/NA/save/").
I decided to just wipe everything and re-install the app though.

[Q] Gallery3D raises the dead...

I searched as best I could, but couldn't find a match to this particular issue.
I do have a rather weird issue with Gallery3D, that I've noticed after switching to OpenDesire, in 4.0.10 and 4.0.15.
Until recently I have been using various Sense based ROMs, where photos taken with the phone are stored in DCIM/100MEDIA and I always just used HTC's gallery app.
Now I'm on OpenDesire 4.0.15, which stores phone photos in DCIM/Camera, and uses Gallery3D to display them.
The thing is, when I try to display photos from DCIM/100MEDIA, taken earlier on various sense ROMs, Gallery3D shows some completely random photos instead. The thumbnails in 100MEDIA display correctly, but when I tap any thumbnail, it expands to the grainy fullscreen version, and is then replaced with a sharp and refined version of *another* picture.
It shows photos that I have taken with this same handset, but imported to my computer and deleted from the phone long ago. That is, photos that aren't even *on* the SD card anymore.
I have tried the following:
1. settings > apps > manage > Gallery3D > force stop + wipe data and settings
reboot
no luck
2. rename 100MEDIA to something else.
repeat 1.
no luck
3. Create new folder DCIM/Test
Copy files from DCIM/100MEDIA to DCIM/Test
The copies in DCIM/Test work well.
Hm.
4. factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik
reflash OpenDesire (4.0.15)
no luck
5. Made a flashable zip with most recent Gallery3D.apk from this thread and flashed it over the one included in OpenDesire 4.0.15
No luck (yes the update succeded, different file size )
Ok, fine, so I kind of solved the problem in attempt number 3, right? Well, yeah, except that I'm uncomfortable about my phone magically raising photos from the dead that I've deleted long ago.
Have you guys got any ideas or input?

Well, your deleted pictures aren't exactly "dead", they just aren't in the master file table of your SD once you hit delete, but they can definetly read. But to avoid going offtopic, you can simply back up your files, format the SD card and restore the files. Everything should be ok.
As to why this happened, it's possible that your Master File Table got corrupted somehow (or Android's MediaManager isn't reading it correctly). But I can't really say much since it's difficult to tell what the real cause is (perhaps you didn't "safely remove"?).
Either way, reformatting should help. And keep using Gallery3D from that post, it's one of the best around

Reason
Even i experienced the same issue,,but couldn't find the solution,,,,but i figured out why it is happening..!!
My gallery 3d app was showing the images i took long back which are no more in the SDcard..!!!how can it be possible..??
The reason is,,
>When we delete the file in the sd card,,the operating system will just mark that that memory location with some special character ,,in fact the data will appears to be deleted but truly i won't ...!!
>when we add new files to the file system that space will be overwritten ,,,by the new file...!!
>So in our case the file which appears as the thumbnail is in exact same memory lactation as the old deleted image....so the thumbnails will be stored in different location as the cache,,,,,
>this is the reason why it show the thumbnail but when we click on that,,, it shows the original data resides there....!!
> its just a bug in the Gallery app
>And it will happen only when we delete the files inside the gallery app...
>Next time try to delete the files in Some file managers like Astro

Camera won't save pictures, can't dl whatsapp-images

Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem since i first rooted my Nexus GSM: When using the camera, the clicking sound appears, but there is no new thumb in the corner and no picture saved in the DCIM/Camera folder. If I'm trying to do a video, the app crashes.
If somebody sends me a picture in Whatsapp, I see the litte thumb, but if i click it, nothing happens (and of course - no picture is saved on the phone).
I check the permessions for the camera and the DCIM-folder and I let the RecoveryMod fix all permissions. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
First I installed Revolution HD ROM, today I did a reset and installed AOKP ROM. Problem stays the same.
I hope you can help me!
EDIT: Checked data & media, too.. everything is rwxrwx--x

Ok, I fixed it.
If anybodye else got this problem: I simply deleted the DCIM & WhatsApp-Folder.
Don't know why i didn't try that before -.-
Sorry guys

permissions the cause
hi, i had the same problem. PERMISSIONS SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE....
I backed up and restored my memory with the tool kit.
Under "BACK UP OPTIONS" i selected "3. backup you Internal Storage [virtual SD Card]"
The only way i have been able to get around it is by changing the name of the dcim folder as i was unable to delete it.
note: i have also had various other problems with other apps. these apps had folders that were restored via the toolkit. in some cases all i had to do was rename the permission locked application folders. in other cases i had to rename their folder and create a new one with the original naming and sub folders

[Q] image storage.

Greetings.
I have the ICS updated Xperia ION. The issue is that when I take an image and try to download it, it isn't where I expect it do be... in the DCIM folder. There isn't anything in there.
I did find a ton of images in a "thum" folder but they are all thumb nail images.
With this camera I was expecting larger images to use and download.
Could someone give me a clue where the images are stored and downloadeable from.
Thanks.

There is a setting in camera to choose storage location. I believe this affects all photo storage, not just pictures taken. Xda app saves into the xda_downloads folder on the internal memory. Haven't figured out how to change it to external memory.

Yeah make sure you are looking at the right storage. If you have a removable SD card it will show up as /ext_card The stock camera might be saving pics there. What you can do is go to the picture in the Albums app and when you look at a picture hit the menu button and hit details. It will tell you where the picture is stored.

thanks tons
Thanks for both answers! I will check and see.

Hi guys, I am facing the same problem after updating to ICS. I checked the path of the pictures, as you suggested, which shows: /mnt/ext_card/DCIM/100ANDRO. The 100ANDRO folder shows only older images taken pre update to ICS. I tried the Windows 7 search option to search for a specific image inside the entire Xperia folders based on name to no avail.
The camera storage is set to SD card.
If one of you reached a resolution, please share. Thanks.

If you are DOWNLOADING pictures, they tend to go to downloads in your phone memory or onto root of your phone memory /mnt/sdcard sdcard being the internal for ext_sdcard is external. Try there ladies and gents,
Edit- I don't think /mnt/sdcard would be considered root actually, but you get what I mean.
Edit2- I get things going to /mnt/sdcard if I DL it from my email, I guess that would be a good thing to add as well, only time I can think of that I DL any pictures. Anything from text goes to DCMI
