any info on deleting pdfs on the htc one x that are being automatically downloaded when opening an email, etc., would be appreciated. when i delete the email, the pdf is not deleted. viewed via pdf viewer, the menu choices do not include deletion. i'm on stock rom, not planning to root. thanks for any assistance.
You can use root explorer or another file viewer and go to sdcard/downloads and delete them. Don't need root for that
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Or Astro File Manager,it's preety good.
thank you. did not work for me, but i found something that did. go to settings/storage/make more space/browser. check off the files you want to delete and tap the delete button. i was very careful doing this as there were files with "titles" i did not understand and i wasn't sure if they included updates, etc., that i would rather leave alone. would seem much easier just to have a delete function in pdf viewer, but that would be too convenient for the end user, i guess!

Am I missing something, or is the process for adding email attachments just horrible?
Just now, I'm specifically trying to email a few photos at a time.
If I try and do it from File Explorer - when you highlight more than one file, the "Send" option in the menu isn't available.
If I try and use Total Commander, the only option is to send via IR.
If I try and do it from within the 'compose email' screen:
a) if I try Insert -> Picture, I can't select mutiple files. And it takes me to the devices "My Pictures" folder every time and all my images are stored on storage card, so it's a real hassle having to go back and forth.
b) if I try Insert -> File, it takes me to this HORRIBLE "Open" page which seems to be attempting (and FAILING!) to show all the files on my device in one window. And even then, you STILL can't select multiple files.
Is there any way to do this?
(Very weird - and annoying - for a business device to fail so badly at something like this. Unless I'm missing something!!)
Thanks, M
To the best of my knowledge, you are doing everything right. I don't think there's a way to select multiple files to attach all in one go.
What I normally do if I want to attach multiple files, I use Resco Explorer to compress the files into a zip. Then I attach the single zip file instead.
Thanks ohyeahar. I'd thought of that - and may still use this method at points - but there are times when it'd be good to use single files as well. (e.g. uploading photos to facebook, they have to be single jpg files)
Just seems terrible that such a basic functionality is left out.

In Resco explorer if you slide your finger over the icons, it makes multi-selection. Just if you missed it.
Hello people,
I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.
Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.
His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.
Not sure if this makes sense
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc
What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:
With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.

yup it can hide files.it basically adds a '.' before file name
Is it just me or did Microsoft take a step back with Office. You can no longer undo and redo actions in Office. Another thing that bothers me is when you sync files to to skydrive instead of overwriting the file if its already there it makes a new version that u can't delete.
Just found out how to delete files but they I still don't get why the file just instead overwritten. For those that might run into this problem you click the info button the far right of the file and then u can change alot of options such as rename, delete, etc
Hello everyone,
I have racked my brain to find a solution in vain. So I ask for help
In my gallery, I have a file named Drop Box ( but the icon is picasa)
I cannot delete the file and delete the photos inside the file.
How do I delete photos inside this file?
It's different from other normal files which can be deleted.
In my dropbox, I don't have any shared file. I don't have the photo which is inside the file actually in my dropbox.
I don't use picasa as well.
With reference to the following thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351600
I don't have the same options given by other users as I am using tablet Nexus 2013, not phone.
Thank you very much!
I put a file called short.html on my new HTC Desire 816 phone. If I click on the file in either of my two file managers (ES File Explorer and OI File Manager), I'm presented with a list of 6 possible apps to open the file (both file managers offer the same list), but the list does not include the possibilities I'd prefer. Is there a way to either expand the list or replace some of the listed ones with those I'd prefer?
Thanks in advance for your help.
What app are you trying to open it with?
There is no way to expand the list as the file explorers only suggest apps that they know can open said file, and are 99% of the time correct in there choosings, especially with a common file type like html.

Ideally, I would like to open it with the Last Pass browser (which I have on my phone and my tablet). I've found that it formats web pages better on small tablets and on phones than most other browsers, including Dolphin, which is the browser the file managers list. However, after reading your message, I took yet another look at Dolphin and found some features that might work well for me. So thanks both for your quick reply and for saving me from beating my head against a stone wall.
you can checkout "CompleteActionPlus" module in Xposed too if you're rooted. it lets you customize items in Open/Share menus
