Its quite common for manufacturers to split partition
You will probably be defaulting onto your d:/ drive
Just type c:
That should change drive
Then CD to directory

Cd c: is the command you have to use to change the drive.
And just use cd desktop or anything to navigate further .

Have you tried to adb pull yet? Did this just the other day.
adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
Will copy the folder to your cpu; Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, unless you direct it elsewhere. This assumes you have the Android SDK installed.
Didn't even think of that I'll give it a try thanks man. Could I do adb pull /sdcard?

Should be able to; might take a while though.
Thanks a ton

unfortunately that doesn't work. Mtp's a *****, really. Adb pull doesn't work on folders recursively, so it'll pull all of the folders without any of the contents. Been there, done that :-(

Damn. I really would rather keep all my stuff...

adb pull will work just fine. I've pulled my entire sdcard partition using it. It pulls all folders and files no problem. Just use the following:
Code:
adb pull /mnt/sdcard C:\whateverlocationyouwant
That will pull everything and put it in 'whateverlocationyouwant' under your C:\. You can obviously change or leave off the C:\whateverlocationyouwant. I just like it to put all content into a separate directory rather than platform-tools.

Nice to see you here Petsasj! I have moved to the GNex as well!

because of the problems with linux and MPT I use ES File Explorer and transfer files over lan (samba) to & from my windows machines & (s)ftp to my tux.
Easiest way is to mount a stick through an OTG cable...
Try Airdroid, it's free/easy. I use it since my phone is on wifi when I'm at home on my computer anyway.

USB Mass Storage??

So tomorrow my phone arrives! Yay! I read some things about how the nexus doesn't support mass storage. Is this true? Sorry if this topic has been made a thousand times already but I'm on my phone so I can't do a forms search.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
It is my understanding that the GNex uses MTP which is another transfer protocol.
Essentially, instead of having activate mass storage mode, like with UMS (USB Mass Storage Mode) your GNex will already be in "mass storage mode" and anything you load on the phone should automatically propogate to the phone in real time.
Hope that helps,
Dan

It does a little. So can I copy files from my Mac to my nexus or not? I am confused.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
You should be able to transfer from any computer (including your Mac) to/ from your Gnex.
Essentially, it uses a different protocol to communicate, but to you it should work about the same.

The Galaxy nexus doesn't support USB mass storage.
Android File Transfer is what google suggests that you use.I find it to be a bit buggy on OSx, but it may be fine on other platforms.
Alt Mounter mounts your sdcard similar to what USB Mass storage did on other devices.
They both have their quirks. If you are familiar with using adb through a terminal, that might be the most reliable method.

Android File Transfer app works just fine on OSX. Connect the phone and drag/drop to or from. No mounting or ejecting. Just use it.
The GNex can't do UMS because there's no separate SDcard or partition. Its all one solid storage. Its a much better implementation.
I am very comfortable with adb and osx makes it easy. What commands do I use. I'm guessing something like "adb mtp (file name)"

Uhh. You can just use ./adb push and ./adb pull if you want, but just use the Android File Transfer app. It works just fine.
OK. Cool

How to let music app rescan media files?

Hi, I have cleared data for "media store" app in app manager, now the music app is showing no media.
Why I did it, because I could not find some music files in music app after the 1.29. update though they were still there as mp3 files in the storage (also I have PowerAmp and it has no issues) I have restarted the device, but it did not help, also tried by activating USB mode to disc drive then back to storage again considering with this could work as mount/unmount and does the trick, but no success. I do not want to do a hardreset if it is avoidable as well.
Is there a way to force HTC music app to rescan storage for media files?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Download extended controls and you can have a toggle that forces a media scan.

You might also find a dedicated app in the market.. search for 'media rescan' and use the one that works best for you.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
have tried with 4 different apps from market but none of them solved the matter. There is not a such option in the music app, actually no "settings" at all.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
There's no command that I know of in the menus. You might need root to run it? But I doubt that.
Android should rescan every now and then.
You could also try clearing the media players cache.
also.. Power amp has this feature buildt in
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I know, hv been using Poweramp since earlier, it is awesome, no any such issues with it. Also hv tried with clearing cache and data for music app too, no success. More interestingly, have also applied reset to factory settings, but still same. I think the only thing left to do, hard reset from boot menu, it will wipe everything.
Any other suggestion? before doing that are more than welcome.

just a thought, how about moving your mp3s to another folder using a file manager on the phone and reboot, it may pick them up that way
Yes, it did the trick.. not renaming the music folder or moving to another place using folder explorer app in the phone but created a brand new folder when connected to windows pc as storage and moved all my mp3s into this new folder, and finally it worked, thanks for the tip mate, it was so easy

Cracked screen. Looking to get data off of internal SD

Screen is cracked not working but I do have clockwork recovery installed.
Question is what button sequence do I have to hit to get to mount the USB storage and access the files on my PC?
if I go into recovery I know I have to hit up 2x but from there I don't know where to go.
Help Plz!!!
If you have windows xp or above once you plig in your gs3 a window should pop up....there you can view all the files on your phone...or download Kies feom samsung and your phone should show up there..files and all.

I'll try kies but I have the phone swipe locked and I think that's stopping me from accessing the folders.
It says connection locked in Kies.. hmm what else can I try?
I'm not sure what else you can do
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Have you looked into screen mirroring pc programs? I know there are at least 2 or 3 options. I'm not sure if they all require the phone to be unlocked. Another option would be to do hdmi mirroring to disable the lockscreen.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The swipe unlock shouldn't affect you being able to access your files on tge phone via pc. Once you plugin your phone windows should start installing drivers and within a few minutes allow you to browse your phones internal memory...or ext sdcard. Good luck!

I don't see how this is confusing. Just plug your phone into your pc, open windows expolorer (my computer) should be your phone with two folders labeled card and phone.

[Q] .Trashes folder - safe to delete?

So while going through my SD card via Astro File Manager, i noticed that there was a "Trashes" folder that uses nearly 6GB of space.
Doing a Google search tells me that this is something created by Mac OS when deleting stuff while connected via USB. I wanted to free up some space, so just wanted to confirm:
Is it safe to just delete the folder from Astro itself? Or do I have to connect to the Mac and delete it from there to avoid issues?

Copy it to your desktop then delete it from phone, at least then you still have a copy of it and case it goes wrong
