Ok so ive had an iphone since day one and just switched to the EVO and i am absolutely in love wit it, i feel its better than the iphone. Stupid question tho, i cant seem to figure out how to add music to the phone from my computer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Thanks.
I pretty sure you just add your music to your SD Card and the music app will find your files

i cant get my comp to recognize my phone so i have no way of adding it to the sd card unless im missing something
Pull down on the status bar and select disk

i did all that, the comp sees the phone for 2 secs n then it disappears, and i downloaded HTC Sync from their website but still nothing, very frustrating.

It's sickening because I have a lot of wallpapers and icons..I copy it all to my laptop occasionally but not everyday because it takes quite awhile. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know why? I'm very careful about unmounting the card.
Yes, its happened to me to. And I have only been using rooted stock Roms. My only suggestion is to install an app like lookout. It automtically backups up my pics daily and also gives u the option to push them back to the phone or download them to your pc. (it does some other cool stuff too).

adb pull no longer works on my pc, I used to pull things allll the time and now I can only push.
When I attempt to do a pull it only pulls the name with no contents; it says it can't open file as archive.
Anyone else having these problems, and know a solution?
What are ur pc specs? I have the same problem. Push all day long but as soon as i pull same thing happens as you and device goes offline. What about USB storage mode? Curious cause also when i try that my explorer frrezes. But it will work on a friends computer just not mine. I tried reinstalling samsung drivers but still same thing. All i can say is Dropbox is my best friend. About the only way i can get anything to my phone besides Email. Funny thing is bothadb pull and usb mode use to work fine.

Hey, guess what. ****ing samsung cable's is just a POS and my USB ports finally decided they didn't like it either. I grabbed another cable and my PC is fine. Adb pull works like a champ. USB mode doesn't freeze XP either. ****in' aye.
Everytime I try to download something it gives me unsuccessful: Memory Card Does Not Exist. Have anybody ran into this problem?

Try rebooting. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the sd card contacts with a rubber eraser

Thanks for responding. I will try the rubber eraser. I tried to reboot but to no avail.

You may want to take your SD card out and put it in your computer. transfer all data to a safe place then put your SD back in the phone and format it. You can then put your data back on the card and should be good to go unless the card itself is borked which does happen occasionally. Happened to me and I lost a years worth of pictures and other data.
Its just doesn't make sense to me. I tried the eraser thing and that didnt work. I can download from the market with no problem. I dont have any problems accessing my files on my SD Card either. Its just only when I go to download a zip file from one of those file sharing sites it gives me the memory card does not exist.
Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
Actually your better formatting it on the computer too. The phone doesn't always do the best job.
I was really trying to avoid reformatting. I wonder how that happened.

It only takes an hour and you'll enjoy the difference. I do it every few months. As long as you back up right before.

1. Turn phone off and remove card
2. Put card in adapter and then in computer
3. Make a folder in desktop named sdsave
4. Right click sd card and copy
5. Paste into new folder
6. Right click sd card and choose to format. Make sure it's set to fat32
7. Format
8. Go into sdsave and highlight all folders and items and copy them back to card

If your pictures are on your micro SD card then you can just put that in another device and get the pictures off that way or get a micro SD to SD card converter on eBay.
Hope I helped!
i know this isn't really a how to fix it, but there was a thread somewhere i think that was posted in the in the general section that had the exact same problem. It was fixed by running a program where you control the phone with your computer... i think.. or it allowed you to display the screen of the phone on your computer... you can also try to use an mhl adapter.
sorry i can't help, but if you dig a little you might be able to find that thread. don't exactly remember how the exact process went, but it solved the problem

You're thinking of using a VNC server? That will do it but the problem is that he has to install it on his phone....wait but that a can be done via adb or desktop play store. He will have to do it over wifi in order to determine the IP of the device so he can connect to the server.

Can't you just connect the phone to your laptop via usb and transfer the pics?? Or am I missing something here

I got pics off my broken vibrant with Droid explorer. It does require root and USB debugging to be on. Thankfully I always left it on. You also need to set up adb on your computer.
Other than that I'm not sure. It took months of asking arOund and almost wiping my Sd with bad adb commands.
My phone broke and it took five months before figuring it out after giving up.

I think it was something like this.
I really can't remember the thread was like in January/February.
So OP hope you're up for some searching and hope you can find the correct terms to search with...
edit: found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501169&highlight=mhl&page=2
it is droid explorer.
However, if you're not rooted yeah.... and if your usb debugging isn't on... yeahh....
if you think you can still control the screen... then try an mhl adapter. that may be your last choice besides replacing the screen.
Ok guys. I'm about to loose my Damn mind. I probably have 5 hours invested into this simple task and haven't succeeded. All I want to do is back up all my files and can't get it to work. When I try to transfer everything I either get stuck with a window saying it is calculating time to transfer, get a few folders to transfer but none of their contents and have it just stop, or I get some folders and not contents with any number of different errors saying the files aren't in the right format (don't remember the other 4 messages I got. I tried 3 cables and every USB port on my desktop all with the same results. I then tried copying everything over wifi via airdroid. I got it going and left it for a hour or 2 and it said it finished. However the zip file it downloaded was only 4.9gb instead of 7.3gb (how much stuff I have on my phone) so I figured it just compressed it. I tried to unzip it, and just my luck, I get an error saying it can't unzip it and I can't even open it just to view the contents. I'm about to loose my mind. Anyone got any suggestions to help me out?

I've observed that when I've got my phone connected to my PC via USB that my PC won't load the file structure unless I unlock the phone. Usually, once it's been unlocked while connected, everything works fine; However, sometimes I find that the phone's gone back to sleep and the data transfer stalls out after the phone's lockscreen kicks back in. You might try disabling your lockscreen and see if that has any effect for you, but I really have no idea if it will help. Good luck.
Yeah I tried that stuff too :/ I disabled my pattern lock, tried disabling and re-enabling USB debugging, made it so my wifi never sleeps, made it so my phone doesn't sleep when charging, disabled my live wallpaper. Nada, still got zilch

It sounds like you're just trying to transfer too much at one time. Have you tried transferring just one folder? If it works when you transfer just one folder over, you can transfer a couple at a time instead of all of it at once. Good luck
