Good day. I need to find out if someone else also experienced the same/ or currently experiencing that the device (or possibly whatsapp) is creating a folder with the name "private" in file manager, under whatsapp, _media, and _whatsapp images. It's creating all these kinds or strange folders, that i never created. Thanks in advance!

Have installed Android Manager Wifi without difficulty on both my SGS (Rooted & Froyo'd) and my PC. I am able to transfer files or blocks of files. However, I can't see an obvious way of transferring whole folder structures (i.e. my music directory off the PC). It would seem like I have to do it an album at a time, and manually create suitably named folders for the files to drop into.
Has anyone got any ideas if I am simply doing something wrong, or if there is a work around.
Many thanks, Phil
Hi,
I used the HTC Notes app to record a meeting today and would like to save it on my computer. But I can't find where Notes save the voice recoding on the SD card.
Can somebody please help me out.
Many thanks
..
im not sure if the recording works but i sync my HTC notes with evernote and al my notes are on the pc automatically.
I flashed a new ROM without backup the stock Note app, now the Note app on the new ROM does not show my old recording.
Can someone please give me some clue on where the video recording might be located, or the what the extension for Note recoding is?
Many thanks
I recently ran into this problem on my HTC One XL: I flashed a new ROM and realised my girlfriend had recently added notes that we needed. I found them on the sdcard partition under .data/HtcNotes. Given I'm running a non-standard ROM I could just mount my phone as a mass storage device and browse to the folder. If you want to look at them on your phone, then you can do that too using the ES File Explorer app (I have no affiliation with them, I just know that it works) after enabling hidden folders in the settings.
FYI, this directory seems to contain a hidden directory for each note, and each directory contains (possibly among other things) a content.html file that has the textual contents of your note saved as HTML. I'm guessing that other media types would be saved within these directories, but I don't have any to test with.
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!
Hello, hoping I could get some help if possible. I have searched through the forums for similar issues, but have been unable to find anything that resembles this rather unique problem.
I have a rather odd issue with my HTC One M8 regarding the Firefox app. Generally, when I download files using the app they will show up in my Gallery "Downloads" album. Yesterday, I opened my Downloads album and saw all of my files vanish. I use TWRP as a recovery and have a recent backup, which I assumed would allow me to revert and retrieve my lost files. This does work, however within 5-10sec the files vanish again. Within that short time, I can open images and view them normally.
I have attempted to recover the files using both TWRP's file browser, as well as a pull with the ADB command line. The most I have been able to recover is thumbnails of the files, which are present both when pulling files and through TWRP's file browser. I have tried to locate the files on the device, however they seem non-existent on either the SD card or internal storage. Some of the files have shown up in HTC Sync Manager also, though the majority are missing. I'm not really sure where to go from here.
Thank you.
Hello!
I installed LineageOS since Xposed is available for Nougat.
I'm using a Xiaomi Mi5s and since the first day I had issues with the WhatsApp folder.
I backed up my last folder before installing LineageOS.
Then, I installed LineageOS and started using WhatsApp.
Sometimes my folder appeared to have all the backed up data and sometimes not. It was really RANDOM.
Sometimes it used another folder and previously downloaded or sent images/audios sometimes weren't accessible (The app said that the file wasn't on the SD). So I had two scenarios:
1. WhatsApp using the backed up folder, showing all my 2000+ images and audios.
2. WhatsApp using another folder, which started with 0 files and ended with 200+.
These two scenarios were absolutely random.
Sometimes WhatsApp was using one folder and sometimes the other one.
The problem is that in scenario 1 I couldn't access to the files in scenario 2 and vice versa. Neither in WhatsApp nor the gallery nor the File Explorer.
So I had this problem for some time and started to think about it.
Turns out that there was a problem because in my storage there was TWO WhatsApp folders.
The first one is named "Whatsapp"
The second one is named "WhatsApp" (note the capital A).
I don't know HOW I ended having these two folders since the file explorer DOESN'T let you to create similar folders (for example: I can't create "Test" and "TeSt" folders).
Even using terminal and "mkdir Test" "mkdir TeSt" it doesn't work.
So the OS was having issues differencing those ones.
I used ES File Explorer and the folders appear to be the same.
If I were in scenario 1 BOTH folders contained all my +2000 files. In scenario 2 BOTH folders contained the +200 files.
But I couldn't access each folder separately. As I said, it was random, sometimes I rebooted my phone and I was on scenario 1 and sometimes on scenario 2. Even without rebooting, it changed from one to two randomly.
So I backed up my data on both folders (remember, I hadn't access to those folders separately so I had to copy the files in both scenarios)
And then, I renamed one of the two folders to "WhatsApp alternative" and instantly I had access to BOTH folders separately.
So I think the OS can't difference between folders with similar names. If you are having issues with this, the solution is to rename one of the two existing folders but please backup the data before.
I think it's a bug. LineageOS should be able to difference between folders with distinct capital letters and the file explorer, the gallery and all the apps should recognize them separately
I actually CAN'T rename the folders to "WhatsApp" and "Whatsapp" so I don't really know how I ended with that similar folders if the file explorer doesn't let you to do it.
After some research I found the way to replicate it.
First: You need to use the recovery, since you can't make folders with similar names in the OS even using Terminal.
1. Create two folders. One named "Test1". The other one named "Test2" and create a file inside each folder. "Test1" should contain a file named "1" (for example) and "Test2" should contain a file named "2"
2.Go to recovery
3. Use the file explorer built in to rename the two folders to "Test" and "TeSt" respectively. I don't know if this is intended to work or it's a bug, but in my case it works.
4. Reboot the system.
You will start to have issues with those folders. You won't be able to access the "1" and "2" files inside each folder separately since the OS can't difference between those folders.
You can try to do it with two images inside each folder. You won't be able to access the two images separately. Sometimes you will be able to access to the image number one and sometimes to the image number two, but not both at the same time.
I think this needs to be fixed.
Thanks for reading

Have you tried to replicate the bug in your build? I want to know if this is a bug on my specific device or it's a general problem

My apologies for the delay but, I had started my original post with "I don't have this device".
I had provided the link to post your issue and, hopefully, obtain further guidance.
Good Luck!

In the original post I wrote how to fix it.
Basically you should backup both of your folders first. Then, remame one of the two folders with another name (for example "WA Files") and rename the other one with "WhatsApp" (with the capital A) and finally copy "WA Files" inside "WhatsApp" so you merge both folders.
It's explained in the original post, please read it to better understand the issue
Thanks for sharing, had the same issue with my Mi5 after flashing 20/02/2018 MicroG LOS 14.1. After renaming the new "WhatsApp" folder to "WhatsApp 2" all the files suddenly showed up again, including backups. In fact I couldn't access local backup but only Google Drive one... Hope this can be helpful to others too.
