I'm running MIUI XJ XPART (latest 1.11). Anyone else experiencing the following problem (it's present for last few versions, but now it's really making me mad ): using ES file manager, setting custom FTP/LAN servers and views - everything OK for some time, then opening it it reverts to default settings (view and all my FTP servers gone? ).
Could it be MIUI too agressive with RAM management or something else?

if you are using FTP/LAN to transfer files from pc to mobile device via WiFi, why dont you use the built in File Explorer FTP server option? correct me if i have not understood your question.
You've understood me well
But there are some cases when I can't use it (ie firewall issues, not the same LAN etc)... and I'm curious to find out why is that happening.
ES is the only program I've encountered problems with, and it seems like a fresh install when it occurs. I've tried using Astro, but I don't like it

may be you can address it in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19434249" along with the logcat which might have some info on the issue hopefully . i believe there is app available to get the log file.
below is the command to get the log using adb from command prompt by connecting your device to the pc. you should have android-sdk.
prompt> adb logcat > log1.txt

My Desire has developed a problem downloading from the internet.
I used to be able to download a PDF quite happily, but now it when I download a PDF it saves it as .bin the first time then -1.bin, then -2.bin etc.
I've checked with a desktop browser and the files download as thecorrectname.pdf.
Also Opera works fine.
Has anyone else had the problem and fixed it?
Desire is on T-Mobile UK - Froyo.
I have Astro file manager installed (has been for months), which I'm having to use to rename the file downloaded before I can open it.
I've tried Enable Browser Downloads in Astro (and disabling it)
I've also used Astro to Edit File Extensions and reset back to default ones.
It's still the same after restarting the phone.
As you can see I'm clutching at straws.
I guess it must be just me then.
I'll have to reset it then, see if that works.
It won't work
Mine is doing exacly the same. Reset does not help.
No remedy so far.

Thanks for letting me know
I don't know if it is related but it started happening after I installed a game boy emulator.
I've removed it since but still no joy.
Download your pron somewhere else?
I'm not sure if this is possible as ICS has no built in file manager, but is there anywhere I can put an apk file that it would be accessible without one? Specifically I want to be able to open an apk to install a file manager as the first thing I do after flashing a rom, to avoid needing to go through the market.
I thought maybe I could leave it in sdcard/download but it seems like the downloads program is blind to anything in that folder that wasn't officially "downloaded". (I suppose I could upload one to my dropbox and download it via the browser, if there are no viable options). Also made a few stabs at getting the gallery program to show one but it seems to filter out anything that's not a picture or video.
Any ideas for places to stick an apk and get one of the stock programs to let me open it?
maybe email it to yourself?
but you would have to log into the email app to do that
but there isnt really anyway to access the file without a file explorer
Open your favourite rom zip, add your apk to /system/app, save the zip, push that zip to the phone, flash.

Yeah in general I'm trying to cut out the step of signing into anything and just restoring my apps from a backup before I need to cancel automatic restore functions (which I do want on and running once I do my own initial run of things).

I'm guessing this comes with the consequence of raising any apk added in this manner to system app level? Not that I distrust the apps I'd have in mind for this to do anything malicious themselves, but is there any danger of opening security holes by elevating apps not designed to be system apps?
What I've done many times is just enabling Air Plane as soon as I can after flashing a ROM. That's way I can install any apk I want.
Hope it helps.

Hmm but then what is your method for getting to that apk? If you do it over wifi that seems to defeat the point, no?
Personally I've found that it works just fine to uncheck the boxes for recovery syncing during the setup process, and then just re-enabling them later in settings. (Alternately, not signing into my google account at all until I've performed a backup). That way even if I end up signing into the market to download a recovery app, it doesn't automatically try to re-download everything else on its own.
I'm starting to think that my dropbox solution will be the cleanest, as it'll be a simple step of opening the browser and downloading a single apk every time at the same link.
I bet that the inclusion of a basic file explorer will be one of those headline items in a future android release. A nice basic functionality that the bloggers can rehash to death before anything actually hits.
Download the file manager apk over wifi and install the APK via download manager.
I do it all the time with Chinese android tablets with no market access.
Or Bluetooth it from another device.
Or just use the market
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 AOSP
Asus Transformer - Revolver OC/UV

Transfer by USB from my laptop.
Is there a way to do that in which the device will launch the apk you move over? When I copy files over usb, it only ever puts them into whatever directory, and I need a file explorer to interact with them on the phone. And then I'm back to square one, as far as this particular task is concerned (once things are up and running I just use the LAN option in ES file explorer and it's as convenient as could be).
you have the apk in your computer right?
connect the phone to pc, and use adb to install
'adb install <apk_file_name.apk>'
Ah. I haven't used adb since I first unlocked/rooted a few months ago. Guess it probably pays to be a little familiar with those tools; they don't even occur to me when problem solving these days.

mark thread as solved then, if that solved it
Well a completely in-phone solution would still be nice, but I guess if there were any of those they'd have come up by now.
I'll probably use abd if I'm actively working at my computer and a dropbox download otherwise.
When connect my A100 to a PC via MTP, found some of the files deleted/moved not accurately shown inside the file manager of PC. The files, which had been deleted/moved via apps of tablet earlier, are still shown in the original location but are unable to be opened.
The database/index of the MTP program seems corrupted, is it possible deleted the MTP data and force a rescan?
Pls help, thanks.

Found a solution from other forum:
1) clear data of the "Media Storage" app
2) rescan the files via the "SDrescan" app (which can be downloaded from Play Store)

I had started a thread on this issue back in december, still having issues on Jelly bean on my xoom (I know it's a different device, but same issue).
On Honeycomb, I had problems, sometimes files would not be updated even after reboot. Now I'm on JB, having the same issue, so it seems to be a MTP issue that's independent of android version.
I have tried SDrescan, but it doesn't always work. Did SDrescan fix this issue on the Iconia?
btw, my workaround was to not use MTP, and install a samba share app instead. There are a few samba apps in the market, and you have to have a wifi network, but it's pretty solid compared to MTP.

Yeah, "SDrescan" fixed my problem at A100. Btw, "AirDroid" also a very good solution via Wifi....
Thanks for the information !
I had a Samsung S4 with exact the same trouble. (running 5.0.1 original Samsung ROM)
Did delete Media Storage Data and restarted the phone.
After that the display via MTP was fine... no need for SDrescan.
I did know already about the fact that i can restore pictures, videos and coverart on music with that trick... i was not aware that this also affects the standard file-handling for mtp.
I use Es file explorer on daily basis, and it's worked perfectly until I upgraded to Android 4.4.4. When I tried to copy file from phone to win pc shared folder (like I done many many times before), it starts for a couple of seconds and then stop, say "time left: computing..." and after that "task failed". I tried everything, reinstalling app, flashing rom again (Viper 3.0.1), flashing firmware again because I know that wifi won't work without new firmware (wifi working properly), but i flashed again just in case. Then I tried another rom (ARHD) and it is the same. Then I revert back to Android 4.4.3 (Viper 2.5.0), and it worked again! Then I tried dirty-flash Viper 3.0.1 and it don't working anymore... I tried also Go file master, but it won't work ether.
So I think it is problem with android 4.4.4, because I tried two different apps with two different 4.4.4 roms and result is the same.
Can anyone who is on android 4.4.4 try to send some file, let's say around 100-200mb, with Es and see if it works? Thanks!
Program is free and on Play Store.

Hello, as an ES File Explorer user, I would like to help you solve your issue. Have you tried using your administrator's logon credentials? You're supposed to type them into the fields as you add your computer (in LAN tab).
Also, you should know that if your IP address to your computer is re-assigned, the connection will be broken, as the IP you originally typed in will no longer work. Maybe in 4.4.3 the IP was the way you wanted it. Try to make it right this time. I will try to recreate your issue on my phone (running 4.4.4 as well) and get back to you.

Thanks for trying to help.
Like I sad, tried everything, and I'm very familiar about ip. First, I totally uninstall es, reboot the phone, install es again from market. There is no assigned lan computers jet. Then, in lan tab, click on scan, and ip address of my computer are showed. When I click on it I can see shared files and folders on my computer, and I can access them. So connection is fine. When I tried to copy large file, 100-200 MB, it starts for couple of seconds and transfer couple of MB, then stop and sad task failed.
Interesting thing is that when I tried to copy FROM pc TO phone, it works without issues and I can transfer large files without any problem. So the problem is copying from phone to pc.
I tried this on three different places, it means 3 different routers, 3 different pcs, 3 different operation systems (XP, WIN7, WIN8.1), and the problem is there.
Like you can see in my first post, I tried to re-flash firmware and rom again, tried different rom, but could not solve the problem. Only when I revert back to android 4.4.3, everything worked again, but again on 4.4..4 not working like described.
Can you try to copy some large file from phone to pc (like one episode of some series) and tell if it working for you? Thanks.
Have you tried contacting the app developer? Its possible the app just hasn't been updated to be compatible with 4.4.4.
ES is a great app. Its been my go-to file explorer for some time now (although I don't use the particular function you are having a problem with). Hope you get the issue sorted out.
No, I haven't, but yes, that could be the problem. But I tried one or two similar apps and have the same problem...
Anyway, I currently using Sambadroid for transferring files and it's working, but like es better and hope it will work like it should in next version.
In Sambadroid I access files on the phone from pc explorer...
So, I tried 2-3 sense roms and the problem is there, but today I installed aosp rom to try it, and ES works without any problems. Strange...
I have a Fire TV Box with expansion card installed.
I was using Terrarium TV version 1.7.6 I uninstalled the app and went to install a newer version. (old version no longer showing up under all apps) However it says that the old version is still installed. I have rebooted the stick multiple times. I have removed the expansion card and tried to load to the internal storage but have the same result.
I have Used ES to look at the files on my box but unable to find anything except when I go to local and app then the Icon for Terrarium shows up there I can press uninstall from there but it does not do anything.
I have connected in with a FTP client to the box and ran a search for anything that starts with TERR but it comes up blank. except for one file called Monterrey
found in /Android/data/org.aerialview.avs/files/.kodi/addons/temp/a555ddd1-97a1-40ed-9158-90a852306047/pytz/zoneinfo/America/Monterrey
I really do not want to have to factory reset my box and start it over if I don't have to.
Hope someone out there can help.
Get rid of ES... I just got a newer router & had to change the lan server id; cannot edit the old lan server to the new lan server id; cannot delete old lan server icon.
Sideload the free 'total commander' for android & then sideload the lan plan plugin. TC is able to have the app on windows be installed like ES but much faster to access the app on the pc platform. Also TC will let you do more than ES but easier/simpler; it also has a dual pane mode capabilities.
Still same issue
Thanks for the Ideas,
I have loaded the TC as you suggested but still have the same issue I can not find were it is storing the blasted file remnants that keep me from installing the new 1.9 version. TC says that it is not there at all so ES was able to see somthing that TC could not.
So i still have my original issue of not being able to install the new version 1.9 because it still thinks version 1.7 is still installed.
Are you trying to use ES to install the 1.9 ver??? Use TC to do the install. I do think the problem is ES & that it kept some junk in ES somewhere.
I installed the 1.9 & the video player & codec using TC. After a day I uninstalled the codec, then the player then the 1.9. No sign of 1.9 Did not check with ES as I've uninstalled ES since it is a piece of junk. As i have stated, ES won't let me delete a lan server or edit it; this leads me to believe that your 1.7 is still only in ES's stuff but not exist as far as the system/Fire TV.
Got it

So I uninstalled ES again. Downloaded the file from FIREDL and ran the installer still would not load.
Ran the file From TC still would not load.
Used App2Fire program and found an empty folder on the SD card called Terrarium. I deleted that and then ran the .APK file again and BAMM good to go. Thanks for all the help and advice.
