hi
can anyone tell me where the zip drive is?
it appeared on the Programs list on my blackstone. but the tp2 won't even let me open zip files transferred from pc.
or can you recommend a file protection app for securing docs, photos etc..
thank you
zip files support comes from 3rd party applications bundled by HTC on older models and not part of native windows mobile OS
you can install Pocket RAR (or 7-zip) if you want zip support on your device, it's free
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/pocketrar390.exe
Thanks for clearing that up. Naturally comparisons from my hd are in swing. i haven't actually set up active sync yet and the phone won't open the download you provided.
but is there actually an easy app to protect certain files that anyone here uses, and not necessarily to compress?

Resco Explorer has zip, registry edit, strong file encryption and a lot of other features. I use it. It costs $30 US, so is a little pricey.

I have extracted the CAB file from installer so you can install it directly on your TP2

people actually note this place as one of the factors when deciding which phone to buy.
Not just for the roms but also the support. totally just.
thank you.
One of the key features i loved with Windows Mobile was i could manage files and download files from the web with ease. i could download pictures, mp3's, zip folders, rar folders and extract the files all on the phone without being dependent on a computer.
Now i recently had a chance to try to download a mp3 file that i uploading on a hosting site and when i clicked download the mp3 i was trying to download began playing in the browser but i could not locate it on the device. What happens when u try to download pictures, mp3s , zip and rar files on wp7? i know theres no file manager but u are able to save pictures from what ive read so why cant we save mp3s and add it to the zune library on the phone? what happens with the zip and rar files? and if u are able to download zip and rar then maybe we can get some kind of pocketrar or something
is it any chance of a limited file explorer being made that just gives u access to files downloaded from the web without giving access to the phones files and registry settings that they dont want us tampering with?
this is a huge issue along with the usb mass storage mode and multitasking that i really hope they add support for in the future
Lol, I posted the same thing a week ago. So far all I found is you can save pictures to your phone. MP3's download and start to play in Zune, but they aren't saved. Same thing for videos I tried to download. Tried to download a zipped mixtape. No Go!
i hope they address this some kind of way because i do this 90% of the time now on my touch pro 2
it will unzip standard zip files but I don't know about the rest of the compressed files.

Didn't work for me. Matter of fact it said WP7 doesn't support zip files when I tried to dl a mixtape.
when install app from marketplace, where did those downloads go? are those save to phone at installation, cabs or xap. what happended to the files?
also, if I download files, music, pictures, videos, pdf, where would they go? how to download them to pc?

Like I said when I dl music, The Zune player opens up and plays the song. Video same thing. It opens the file just like on your computer when you select open instead of save. That's it. I was able to save pictures. They go with the other pictures on my phone. PDF go in Adobe Reader, but the must delete after you read them unless you save them(?). I get them everyday and read but I've never deleted them but they are gone.
internet exploere does have any featue to download files, even picture.
suppose it is possible to download files, where would the files go? how to find them.

If you select a picture on a webpage, you hold down on it and the save option comes up. That's all I've found. You keep asking. Everything I've tried doesn't download. IE buffers it then plays it. Like Netflix does! You watch a movie but it's not on your phone or computer.
Yea that was a killer for me that's why I use my mytouch 4g now and because the brower is so slow

played with this further. After downloading zip of 2 songs, it did unzip them and allowed them to be played, but it would not save them to the phone as far as I could tell.
I just tried a pdf, it downloade and open in adobe reader, but it is never saved to phone.
this is a big problem for WP7. cannot load files to phone except music and videos.
how to take out the files in word and one note mobile? i save some files and could not take them out.
As for pdfs and pictures its not true.
Those two can be saved and opened in the pictures hub and the adobe pdf app.
I don't think its a huge problem but I would also like it to be "fixed". Maybe Microsoft want to prevent that users are buying music at amazon or other stores than zune?
Edit: And for getting office stuff or pdfs out of the phone: you can email it to you... (not the best solution i know)

is it impossible to make a file explorer app for the marketplace that only gives u access to storage space on the memory card and not to the phones file system? that way you can manage files through the alotted space on the memory card adding songs to zune and pdf files zip folders and other kinds of files? that way saving files would be no problem and ur not screwing with the phones file system would microsoft go for a app like this?
pdf save in picture hub? i dont see it anywhere. you cant even email it to yourself if you cant find the file.
it is not saved it the file system. I tried to put the phone into usb mode, just see what files in pictures, and music folder. pdf is not there.
Guys,
Pdf is AUTOMATICALLY saved to the phone once opened from email or website.
You just need AdobeReader and files can be browsed and deleted from the app.
What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!
Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk".
In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"
4. Press "Go".
That's it! Installation started!

Nice to know new things, I made ES file xplorer to esfilex.apk then it says play online it works. Now I can install a filemanager if a rom doesn't have one.
Thanks

You could also do
adb install /sdcard/name.apk
If you were feeling like a pro.

Or, instead of trying to remember browser commands or adb commands, just skip all of this madness and grab a flashable .zip that contains a file manager! ~
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, kids.
If you don't have a flashable file manager, just grab the one I made on the WildChild ROM thread (Post #1). Copy the .zip to your SD Card. Done. Don't ever worry about flashing a ROM without a file manager ever again.
I will give this a try.Looks interesting

Danceoff, this is for people who are trying to PREPARE for flashing ROMs on the fly. Ie. They have access to market, file explorer etc NOW but won't LATER when they actually do the flash.
I don't have service right now so my phone is basically a tiny tablet, and I'm a flash-a-holic. i flash ROMs on break at work, on the bus, etc. This is very handy for me. Thank you.

You need to be more specific, are you trying to view files in the phone itself, or in windows?

Your windows must be pretty slow then, I am running windows 7 on one of my computers and windows 8
on the other and when I open windows explorer (computer) on any of the two computers I can see all the
files on my phone load up almost instantly without any delays at all.
The only time I have noticed a slight delay was when I want to to rename a file or folder,
then it takes a second or so for the new name to stick and display properly.

Hiiiiiiiiii Ya
I AM Fi1ite WITH A NEW TRICK
THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON WINDOWS 10 MOBILE
AND
THE SECOND ON XDA FORUM
THIS TUTORIAL TEACHES YOU HOW TO SHARE YOUR APPS FROM YOUR WINDOWS 10 MOBILE TO ANOTHER WINDOWS 10 MOBILE INSTANTLY JUST LIKE SHARE IT APP IN ANDROID BUT A LITTLE HARDER.
GONNA TEACH THIS IN TWO PARTS.
1. SHARING (THE APP FROM YOUR PHONE)
2. CARING (INSTALLING IT ON RECEIVER's PHONE)
TUTORIALS:
SET UP: :highfive:
In both the Phones turn on developer mode
SETTINGS->.UPDATE & SECURITY->FOR DEVELOPERS->DEVELOPER MODE->Yes
Using file manager in windows phone 10:
Extract Dependencies_ARM.zip (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install All the extracted apps to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install InteropTools App (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install AppDataManage tool (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install WinZip Universal to both sender's and receiver's phone using windows store
After Success full Installation in both devices:
SHARING PART:
Open AppDataManage tool in sender's phone
Navigate to Settings.Turn on Show advance options.Back to main menu.Navigate to Apps.Tap on any app to share .Press Create Archive from installation path.Save the zip file as App.zip
Let the process complete. Chilllzzz :angel::angel::angel:
Exit the app.
Tap the zip using file manager (it will automatically open the zip with WinZip Universal). Tap the folder Shown
Check for AppxManifest.xml File
-If it exists then The App is Share Able.
-If it does not exist. The App is non share able. Possibly look for another App to share.
If AppxManifest.xml exist then: :good:
Look For Something like AppxSignature File (AppSignature or AppxSignature or AppsSignature ). If it exist then delete it using long press menu.
Save the zip file using the toolbar in Winzip Universal. Share The Zip file using bluetooth to the Receiver's phone. YAY!!! :laugh::laugh:
You Can Share This To Multiple Phones. OOOOHOOOO!! :laugh::laugh:
INSTALLING IT ON RECEIVER's PHONE:
Tap the zip file (located in downloads folder) in receiver's phone using its file manager and extract its contents to the same folder.
Open Interop Tools in Her Phone (Receiver's phone).
Select "This Device" . Navigate to Application Manager. Tap on developer mode.
Swipe to Register a package. Browse to the extracted contents. Locate The AppxManifest.xml. Select it.
Press Register Package. Wait for it to finish registering.
YEPPI !!!!!!!!
Puff!!!! You Have Successfully Created a backup of your app as well as shared it too
Thanks Alot To Them Whose Apps I have Used.
Special Thanks To:
gus3300 - Interop tools
Mahdi Ghiasi - App data manager
Microsoft - Dependencies ARM
DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND THANK ME AND OTHER SENIOR DEVELOPERS

Hmm... Looks Like There is a Bug in The Backup Tool.. No Problem .. Its the Men Who Makes Faults And its The Buggy Apps Which Create Problems... However The Dev Worked Hard For His Tool and I do Respect Him...
Here's The Solution For YOUR PROBLEM It Works For All Apps Whether Paid Or Free.
1. Get Full FileSystem Access On Your Phone [Pls Browse The Xda For That ]
2. Uninstall The Backup Tool.
2. Connect Your Phone To PC
3. Using Explorer Go to C:\Data\Programs\WindowsApps And Search For Folder With Partial App Name And Make Backups Of Your Apps.. [You Might Get many folders with similar name in that case See The Size Mb of the folders and take the one which seems appropriate to you]
4. Rest Part You Know.. [About deleting The AppxSignature File and Sharing]
I HOPE THIS HELPS.... I KNOW YOU WILL NOT EVEN THANK ME FOR THIS ...
