I'm running Bigexie's Jelly Bean rom and I'm having trouble finding where Play Music is storing it's offline music. I used to be able to find it under Android/Data/com.google.android.music but now this folder is empty, even though I have music set as offline. I thought at first that my music wasn't actually being downloaded, but after it says it's done making the songs available offline I have less storage space on the phone, and when I check the "on device only" option my selected music is shown. The music must be cached in different location in Jelly Bean, but I can't seem to find it. This is causing problems with apps like doubleTwist and Offline Music Importer as they can't find the music either.
Does anyone know where Play Music is storing it's music now?
Same here
Yeah, I found the same problem. Trying to get to the bottom of it atm... I'll follow up if I find anything

Yep, ok - found it all.
Looks like it stores it directly in the app cache now.
If you something like Root Explorer you can find it under:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music/
Not sure how useful that is to you.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess knowing where the music is stored doesn't help if the apps don't know to look there. At least my curiosity has been quenched.
Hi all,
I recently upgraded to ARHD 13.0, my PC is running Windoze XP.
I've just installed WMP 11. I have HTC Sync installed and up to date, why oh bloody why can't I see my HOX as external storage in My Computer?!
All I want to do is put a new album on my HOX, I've tried doing it through Recovery and Mounting/Unmounting my storage, the album transfers over but i can't see it in any of my music players.
Thanks,
T-L-H

I'm on xp too mate, MTP just doesn't like xp, If you want to see your music, i made a folder called mobile and then moved my entire music folder in there with ES file explorer and it worked, Seems like you nee to put it on your sd card then move it with an on board file explorer

Well it's stupid, c'mon HTC sort it out!
so what you're saying is, make a folder called Mobile, put my music folder in there, it'll still get it all okay from there and won't duplicate anything? I can do this with ES file explorer? (Meh I've got Astro Manager, that'll do)

I've even tried installing the MTP files direct from Microsoft, still only brings up the HTC Sync Manager installer when I plug in my HOX, what a joke.

Xp is eleven years old now dude. You really think htc should be directing valuable resources to supporting something that old? Especially when we have been waiting so long for jb?

also think they have done away with usb storage full stop. not sure how this mtp works but should do if you have the drivers installed. there is an option in the sync manager to transfer documents (zip files etc) that is greyed out for me as the drivers arent installed, let it install the sync manager ans see what happens report back if poss and il have a go at installing the drivers

Well as a lot of PC users are still using XP I don't see why not!
Besides I got the MTP Drivers directly from Microsoft, so...
What you said was basically "Oh, there are more electric cars on the roads now days, no need to supply us with petrol anymore"!

No.
I've now installed the MTP Drivers directly from Microsoft, Installed WMP 11 for those drivers, Installed the HTC Sync Drivers and nothing.
I've tried your method too exocetdj, I created a Mobil folder and placed my Music Folder in there in my SD Card Folder.
The Stock Music App wouldn't pick up on the new album. I did the transfers using Astro file Manager.

Hi Fellas,
I hope you don´t mind if I jump in here? It seems you might know a bit about a problem I´m having.
Basically I make playlists with Astro, then after connecting my HOX to my pc or laptop for transferring files, it empties the playlists I have?
Any thoughts?
BTW I have XP too! lol

It could be mate but not sure, have you tried doing the same with the stock music app for a workaround? I have restored playlists through titanium over several roms without any issues
Also you mentioned you are on xp, have you managed to get the MTP crap to work?

Afraid not mate, when I´m running WMP and I connect a device, I can't hit the cancel button quick enough, can´t stand it lol
If you want I could test something though?
As for the playlists, I think what is happening is, the media gets scanned when the phones storage is connected (All my music) it sees the locations empty and rewrites the playlist as such?
I haven´t rooted yet, does titanium need root for backing up?

Yep Titanium needs Root to work but its a pretty good tool to use, saves having to go through the hassle of setting up homescreen and downloading apps again after flashing new rom etc

There's loads of new music I want to put onto my HOX!
Sod it!
Screw this, I'm just going to upload my music collection to Google Play Music, when at work or home I can just stream it over the Wifi.
I'll keep a few of my fave albums on my handset so I can have those whenever.
Guys I've been taking pictures with the HTC camera and editing them with Google photos just fine, but now whenever I go to edit and save I get a message "unable to save photo edits" no matter what I do. Tried uninstalling Google+ as well but no luck. When I take pics with the Google Camera it works fine.
EDIT: so I took a picture and opened it with gallery saved it and opened it with Google Photos and now it works again. BUT all the older pics I took cannot be edited and I still get the "unable to save photo edits" Wtf....

I recall similar problems earlier this year too with the Nexus 5 or any other device. The solution that they came up with was to clear the cache of Google+, force close the Google+ app and then uninstall it, go to playstore again and reinstall it.
Don't know if it'll still work.
There are threads somewhere on xda with similar problems, might want to search for it though.
Let us know if it works, damn Google+, first this nonsense and now it's a battery hogger as well
---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------
This thread discussed the issue and then gave a link to another xda thread in which they gave a link to the solution discussion where they said to force close, uninstall, reinstall like I mentioned in my first post too.
Don't know if it still works though, should though as some of the replies on that discussion came as recently as May of this year so...
I have a T-Mobile M8 converted to GPE. On Sense, the first time I opened the camera it asked me if I wanted to store my camera photos on the SD card and it worked like a charm. Since I've converted it to GPE, I can't figure out how to store the camera photos on the SD card. I can't find it in settings. I tried moving the DCIM folder to the SD Card, but then I get an error message when I launch the camera. Anyone know what's wrong?
Yeah, people have been complaining about this since last year. For whatever reason, Google doesn't love SD cards anymore, presumably because they want users to use their cloud services.
You might just be forced to take tons of photos and then manually cut/paste them over to another directory on your SD card.
You can try the solution posted here (can't personally vouch for it, I'm not on GPE): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/how-change-camera-to-save-to-sd-card-t2809222

Camera storage location is not likely related to the removeable SD change related to KitKat that you refer to. An app is free to write to a folder that it creates; and it in fact works just fine on Sense ROMs. The new restrictions were made due to security concerns.

Hi
I have been using s note in note5. I used back up the "snotedata" folder that contains all the memos and notes to my pc. I don't like sync and all that stuff. I prefer doing manually.
I would like to do the same with the Samsung notes app. But I don't know where the data folder is. Can you please help.. Thanks
me too

Same here, it's driving me insane.
I need to browser on my PC thru all of my notes and I just can't seem to be able to.
- No PC app for Samsung Notes (although there is one for S Notes...)
- No GUI for Samsung Cloud, meaning it's impossible to merely view what's on there.
- No connection to Evernote.
- No mass-share back from Samsung Notes to S Note (you can do it but only one by one, and worse, it's imported as a picture)
Haven't been able to find the folder or, in better words... I have found "a" folder in Phone\SamsungNotes\SNote3... But all of that is empty, so there must be another place.
If anybody has a clue... I would very grateful
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------
I just found 2 interesting folders under :
Code:
Phone\Android\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\
One is "cache" and it's empty. The other is "files" and it has (??) a JPG copy of all of my notes.
It's a start. But I still cannot find where is the editable file.

samsung messed up notes app.. the only real advantage over snote is its lag free 90% of time.
Yeah I want to use S Note full-on, it is the best notes app no question and I have tried damn near every notes app in the Play Store, have had an Evernote premium account for years, etc. But to make it a proper notes solution they need to have a PC app and web app. I installed S Note on my Win7 PC, and I synced but nothing showed up. I tried live chat support and emailed Samsung, the response I got was this:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
From what you've written, we understand that you have installed S-Note software on your Windows PC and looking to view notes created on your Galaxy Note 7 phone.
We certainly understand your requirement by reviewing your email, however would like to inform you that there is no possible option available to accomplish that.
We can create notes and sync them on the software and restore them back, however there is no option of viewing them on the software on the device.

Which makes me want to stick with Evernote even with their 2-device limit (I stopped premium a while back) I can at least add stuff while on my laptop then see it on the phone, of course, and vice versa. That's a basic necessity if they want the notes deal to be taken seriously.
You need to be rooted
The folder is that same name but under /data/data/.......
Smart switch

Smart switch for samsung phones will let you put the notes from Samsung notes onto your sd card or pc etc.. the note in Samsung Notes are kept on the cloud not eithin the phones storage.
I think the "Samsung notes" are stored on the s8 internal storage and not elsewhere because when you run out of room on the internal storage the samsung note app won't save unless you delete sometging off the inturnal storage.
Where are they stored??
I also prefer to back up manually!
Does anyone know how to delete the cloud back ups of Samsung Notes? I've used smart switch to back them up and restore them, but, I cleaned up the 175 notes I've taken/made over the years down to 28. If you import from cloud you get all the ones that are there, including all 175! Samsung don't know how to either.
Thanks!
EASY!
all smsmsung note files are stored in 2 folders.:
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\SDocData\
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\app-attach\
just backup these 2 folders if you want to restore it (on a different phone with the same app)
sdoc data contain .sdoc files (container files, so if you rename to .zp you can extract mps3s(voice msgs) and text in raw data)
in app-attach are the drawings as .png
remember, when erasing a note in the app it is still in the 2 folders , just not visible any more in the app. very bad from a security and data savings perspective...
also with this regard i dont recommend (any) cloud backups - the (few) smasmsung apps i use dont have wifi/internet access anyway (AFWall+)
