not so sure but seems that your data its corrupted.

The data is not corrupted because i can upload the pictures to Facebook for example, or as i said, i can send them by mail, i can get my data by different ways, but i cant get them by USB

not stating what device
and what rom you are using
or even what type of sdcard
makes it rather imposible for people to pitch in

The path is too deep (T Mobile compact 4)

hi.
i just got this phone. it is fav, but i am having a problem.
when i connect the phone to my Windows XP, i get 2 choice's on the phone.
Active SYNC or Disk Drive
i select disk drive so i can transfer files, but eveytime i try transfer a file, it takes too long for the windows pop up files transfer window to come on, and after few minutes i got a error message saying, " Cannot copy pioneer: the path is too deep".
Pioneer is the name of the file.
the file that i am trying to copy is a picture, and the name of the file is pioneer which is only 7 letters long.
Please help.

Have you tried placing the file on your desktop first?
Not really a rom development question, but who cares?
I had the same problem. And pathtoolongtool.com helped me.

SD Card Problem in download folder

Hi,
for a few days, i have a problem with the download folder on my sdcard.
if i access the 'download' folder with a file-manager (like ASTRO or any other..),
i get a notification, that there is an error (i guess an access-error) with the sd-card. (and the filemanager shuts down after a few seconds)
In the 'download' folder there are some strange files, which i can not access,delete,rename etc..
some have the size of 0 k, some have a few MBs and some have a size of almost 500-600 MB.
i don't know where they come from and what they really do. also the filenames are pretty weird. (the names contain 'at'-sign ...).
if this error occurs and i open the camera, there is also a notification, that i cannot take any pictures due to an sdcard-error.
does anyone know what these files are? or what to do?
kind regards
Markus
If you hava a card-reader I would take the card out and delete the files with a PC.
A Card reader is not available. But if I connect my DHD via usb and access as a hard drive,I can see the files, but cannot access them. No read / write access.
What I haven't done yet, to copy all the files from my sdcard to my pc, format the sdcard from my pc and copy all the data back. (of course only the data which are accessable). Hopefully it will not harm my desire hd.

If you use Linux you definitely can mount the SD-card and do what you want with the files there (you may have to become root) but it is acutally quite easy.
I just dit it on my DHD.
If you don't have Linux installed, just download an Ubuntu Live-CD, boot from it, plug in your DHD via usb, select "drive mode" (or whatever it is called) on the DHD, go to the directory where the card is now mounted, solve your DHD problem and you don't even leave a trace on you harddrive.

How to add videos from pc to phone?

I'm a complete n00b. I'm just trying to figure out on how to send videos from pc to my phone for a while now. HTC sync manager allows only adding mp3 files to the library but not video files to send to the phone.. And copy-pasting directly on the storage card also isn't helping me. When I copy paste it to my storage card, i can't find that file on my phone again. it only can be seen through astro file manager. any other way to send files from pc to phone which can be seen on my phone after i disconnect it from pc?
Go to settings - apps - All - Gallery - clear data/cache
Copy paste your movie file, open the gallery and let it rebuild it's cache/data.

Thanks! And is this the actual way to transfer videos from pc to One V?
NO.. need to do that when the gallery cannot see your video.
To transfer, just put your phone on Disk Drive mode, then just copy from PC and paste to SDcard.
So , does it work or not ? I can't think any other reason why the file is not showing on Gallery unless it can't read the video file format.

[Q] How do i access files from Root Explorer on my Laptop?

Hey everyone @crpalmer tagged you in case you could help
I am running Jrummy's Root explorer on the phone searching for some pictures on Dropbox.
I FINALLY found them in the /Mnt/sdcard/Android/data/... but i can't figure out where to copy and paste these imgs to so that my computer can 'see' them.
When i plug the tablet into the computer all that comes up is Internal Storage with 9 GB available and inside that i have only bare files like Alarms Android etc. But NONE of the folders have any of the phones files.
Basically i can't see anything on my tablet through my computer.
I tried pasting the file on System/root but the computer still doesn't show it!
Regards
Silkmeister1
UPDATE: i managed to stick a TINY 1 mb sd i had laying around and that changes things to where my i could copy things to the sd card and the computer sees that, but now the issue is the .jpg won't open correctly as they are too large or corrupted
wondering if this is a permissions issue
