Like title says N8P doesn't let me to tranfer apk or exe files from PC to internal memory/SD neither through windows explorer or HiSuite. Tranfer start then stop after about 30-40%, phone disconnect and connect again to PC. For example I tried to tranfer a GCamera for N8P apk (from this forum) to SD card to install it. It's any protection somewhere i must remove it?
ThankYou!
My best guess is that your cable is damaged. Next would be something with HiSuite, however I can't comment on that since I never used this peace of software.
You could try:
- use adb for file transfer (if it still doesn't work cable damage)
- another cable
If you need to transfer an apk to your phone why don't you just download it directly to your phone. Unless you're developing yourself you should be able to get anything directly to the phone.
It's something with apk and exe files because I can transfer everything else. For example videos over 1Gb, pictures, anything. But if it's apk or exe it happens what I said even if have 20Mb
Sure, I can find other ways to do this. I did it through google drive. I just wander if it have any protection?

I have the dash connected to my mac. Not through USB,but through bluetooth and wifi. I beamed the WM6 file to my dash,but it says there is not enough memory and to deleted programs. Can someone give me a detailed explanation on how I can install WM6 without having to delete anything?
you can't install it like that.
run the exe on your pc and it will connect to the phone and start the rom upgrade.
pretty sure you will need a windows connection but i don't know anything about macs. i do know that you can't do it wirelessly.
good luck!
Yeah I know I can't do it wirelessly. I was trying to beam the file from my mac to my PC,cause I have construction going on at the house now,so only my mac is wireless. So I tried to beam the file to my phone,to them connect it via USB to my PC and run the update. But the phone says there is not enough memory.
I guess I would have to just put the .exe file on disc.
I could even put it on my ipod and connect my ipod to my PC and use it as a hard drive.
But after doing so,will the updater run automatically? As in I don't have to remove and previous programs?
no you don't have to remove anything.
your phone will be reflashed to the new rom and you will lose everything in the phones memory.
WM6 is not an application like I think you might be perceiving it. You must run it from your Windows Desktop with your phone connected through a USB connection. It will wipe out everything on your phone that is currently on it. Maybe it would help to envision the WM6 ROM flash more like what it would be like to upgrade your computer from Windows XP to Vista.
My mda is dead my display flatcabel is broken...
now i got to recover my contacts that i have saved on my sd card.
any idea how to restore them on pc?
Thanks
If you saved them on your SD card then just put the card into a card reader and copy them to your pc. Another thing, even though your display is dead, you may still be able to access the phone over activesync if it still boots.
I did already hard reset cause in first i meant that it was something wrong with software...
it destroyed all data on phone exept on sd card, i copied backup contacts file on pc but i dont have an idea how to open contacts on pc (is there somme kind of viewer or maybe virtual pocket pc for Xp)? i hear active sync signal when i connect Mda via usb but i dont see anything so i am not able to install anything or to do synchronization. And i still need my contacts...
Help
I've read where you can open the file that had your contacts in it up in a hex editor and it will allow you to view your contacts. Other than that, I don't know of any program that will open it up normally though. If all you're needing to do is see them, then that method should be ok. If you need to do more with them though you may want to explain what program you backed them up with and see if anyone else has any ideas.
By the way, there are programs that allow you to view what you would see on your phone on your PC. If you're still getting a good sync then using one of them should work. Here's the link to one I've tried that works well. - http://www.mymobiler.com/
Hi.
I am new to Android and need your help.
I can not find files or file manager in the apps confused.
do I need to download anything to be able to do this?
And I do not know how to install apps if I copy one from my mac to the phone.
Lastly, I also do not understand why my mac can not see the folders of the phone even though it is connected via usb.
Finally, I tried to transfer data via bluetooth, but again I did not manage.
It says time over or something I do not know.
It looks very basic, but I need your help.
Please , help.
There is no default file manager. Most people will never need one.
If you want one, search the market for one, there are dozens. Astro is very popular.
to install ones you copy over, you need to go to home>menu>settings>applications
tick the box to 'allow unknown sources'
then, in whichever file manager you download, open the APK file on the card and it should install.
You can only browse the files of the SD card. the phone memory is system memory and protected. you do not eed to access it. All storage is done by the memory card, not the phone memory.
Bluetooth functions are limited on android. you can send files (as long as they are files the phone supports i believe) but you cannot use isync or anything like that.
If you want more sophisticated sync options for android, have a look at the missing sync for android at www.markspace.com
simples.
Thanks.
I downloaded Astro and it seems nice.
Now I can see how it works little bit.
Thanks for your help.
I currently only have 500mb available. I know that most of it is in pictures and some videos. But I can't copy over the files since everytime i try to load the DCIM folder on a computer, it freezes and shows unresponding. I have tried 5 computers and same thing happens. Now I really have to make this work since I have to send the phone back since the power button barely works, and i got a replacement. (I have the Verizon version).
please help. thanks
Try an FTP app from the Play Store (I use FTPServer) and Filezilla on your computer. It works great for me and you dont even have to plug your phone in.
Or
Set up an online storage thing (box, dropbox, google drive, etc.) and upload everything to it. Then delete everything on your device.

You could try using adb to pull it. There are tons of guides for installing and using adb floating around this site, or the internet in general.
If you have access to wifi, you could try transferring the files that way. Something like Airdroid (on the market) can help with this, although there are many other apps that can achieve similar things. There is FTP (and offshoots of it) if you don't have wifi.
Another option would be to use something to sync with the cloud. Dropbox, Google Drive...etc This may not work for you, as many of these only allow you to have 5GB with the free version of their service, which it sounds like you may have surpassed. Also, depending on the speed of your internet, and the speed of the cloud service, this could take a while.
As above..
adb pull method.. it should work well
you must have installed ADB drivers and you must have ADB files e.g adb.dll and then just open terminal and navigate to right folder and use ADB command:
Example:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/ C:\Users\CarlosManuel\Downloads (if I remember the commands right, that should be the way to pull the DCM folder wth the files)

Your usb stick is not a computer, it does not need to read your phone with MTP protocol.
The phone should provide power to the USB stick, exactly as it is saying, so that your phone can read the contents of the USB stick.
Get a File Manager like FX to transfer items to and from your USB stick.
I have the same problem. It always says usb charging and I could not transfer pictures to my usb using the usb-c/usb adaptor. I tried using file manager app but I get confused with all these asking permissions and I end up unable to transfer anything. I never had this problem with my S7 edge before. I tried connecting the phone directly to the mac using android file transfer but could not connect. I would really appreciate if someone can give us a more detailed steps on how.

I tried that I have ES file explorer like "edsol" said it won't mount the stick because it's in charging mode
I tried several time to switch it off of charging mode but always flips back after a few seconds.
if "edsol" has the same problem then I guess it's not just my phone........there must be a fix for this??
I had the same situation, and I had to format the USB stick in "exFAT" to be able to copy files to it. NTFS is supported only for reading, but not for writing.
So check that your USB stick is not NTFS.
FAT32 and exFAT are the same, the difference is that exFAT doesn't have the FAT32 limitations (maximum file size of 4 GB)

Thanks...but it is exFat......I did a reformat just incase.......still a no go ??
you probably need some file manager to do what you want, Android sucks when it comes to manual file management.
Anyway I have ES file explorer loaded on my phone, so plugged in USB c to USB2 adapter, put in 32 GB FAT32 memory stick, ES file exp. open up and I transferred couple files from stick to SD, just to test it if it works. It did, but you would have to pay me a lot of money to do it on regular basis, so awkward. I just plug my phone to PC and use windows click and drag to move files around. Now I run into problem, when I was transferring my pictures, couple days ago, F???? Android lock my sd card for no reason (F????? Google is messing SD cards on phones since at least kitkat). I had to fix sd and take write protect off, but I'm sure it's Google not Samsung. Anyway, it works like a charm, just watch out for Google's broken permissions showing it's ugly head.
What File Explorer are you using? Some of them can't write to external storage because of Marshmallow permissions.
"My Files" of Samsung worked for me while "ES File Explorer" didn't work (before root)
I used ES File Explorer, I'm sorry I said wrong in my previous post, I moved couple files to phones DCIM folder, not SD, it's so awkward and I just wanted to see if it works at all, it did, I confirmed the files were moved, before deleting them. So actually I don't know if it would work on SD card, but I would never ever transfer files like that: I would use my pc laptop for direct transfer between SD and stick. So the concept I described works, but as far as permissions to particular folders go, they're so messed up and don't even want to test it again against SD. In theory it should work at least for transfer to root directory, since card is not protected, may not work for transfer to folders created by other programs due to permissions. At some point I may have to root this phone just to fix those stupid permissions, but I haven't used Marshmallow until now, so not sure how broken those permissions are here.

I've tried a few file programs including My Files..........but the usb stick isn't recognized because it stays in charging mode
so can't even attempt to transfer anything....this is frustrating !!
