Hi !
I was wondering if there is any chance of having a file explorer in the near future .
Any thoughts?
For what purpose? Browsing pictures and wideos?

No
For what purpose?
Why the question about purpose? A file explorer is generally a pretty useful thing to have. Re-opening downloaded files is a good example.
It looks like somebody have not understood the logic of windows phone.

And maybe you didn't understand the logic of the question...
A file Explorer will be nice so that you can decide for your self where to store files like e-mail attachments. I'm still recieving Zip file attachments.
For the amount of time windows phone has been available and still no file explorer...i wouldn't expect one anytime soon. If i recall correctly, its not even possible right now.

It looks like somebody has understood the logic of windows phone but has not yet understood the logic of windows file explorer.
Weird contradiction of logics on the same topic.
At least give us your logic of the one you understand and someone else will give you in more detail the logic of what you do not understand.

Though you had a valid point that honestly made me laugh, I find that a file explorer would help in some ways: Renaming files, changing locations, finding email/messaging attachments easier. Renaming files has been a huge issue for me, but I can just do that from my computer at home.
Some people think they should have those features built right into the phone, so you have to understand that they want a file manager.

Hopefully you are just toying with him , with your response. The intent of his response was to indicate that the Windows Phone system has integral plan and purpose in restricting where files, pictures, downloads, etc are stored. This is most likely to insure the integration with Skydrive and its Office apps, etc. This has been in play since the release of Windows Phone 7 2 years ago. Microsoft has not deviated from this. Anyone doing any research about Windows Phone would know this. The response just highlighted that a potential new WP user was asking a question.
A quick look around Windows Phone.com and/or several wiki type sites on the web will help fill in the blanks, and will help you understand what Microsoft will and won't allow access to. Hence, the lack of a file Manager.
If you own Windows 8, you can get a little access into the folder system by connecting your device and using the Windows Explorer to see what is accessible. But you will find access limited to Storage areas and a few other spots like Documents, music, Pictures, videos and Ringtones.
As a reminder, you as an OP should have done a quick search of the forum to bring up this already known situation. Your responder should have reminded you of that, and posted a non sarcastic response..again, as per forum guidelines. Isn't life hard enough without getting into pissing contests over a mobile device app?
Well I'm working with Windows since 1988... There was GEM before then long after got ipad1 android and now wp8. All previous had a file manager...
Now as an example I was downloading a FLAC file via bluetooth
The system just was happy to download the file on the phone...
Now as we know no flac player the file got on the file system somewhere
but I was unable to locate it for deleting it as is is 15 mb of useless data
Now what?
So looked at for a file explorer but nada...
Connecting the phone to the PC only showed the basic stuff
So where did that file ended up?
Surely wp8 is nice fresh what ever you want but common that stuff is sooooo locked up worth than apple.. Surely good for security as praised by some but personally I start to hate this paranoia and philosophy that what you bought is actuality not yours..
Please someone teach me where that file ended up maybe I missed something?

This may be of some help. It's not a file manager like on Windows, but you can manage downloads and there is a file manager section. I would post the link, but I'm new. The application is called "getthemall".

It's an app that uses audio frequencies that are supposed to have an effect on the neural brain waves in order to achieve certain states. To reduce headaches, to achieve deeper meditation, to induce deep sleep and mainly in recent time to achieve the state as the drugs do. To get high as after a splif or feel the rush of an X and even to feel drunk and so on and on.
So is there an android version of it? I've been searching forums and sites, googled it forever and found nothing.
Thanx in advance.
You know it's a scam, right?

I thought so yeah.
However , even the uselessest (let's presume that's a legit word) app could at one moment have been found on my device even only to be ran once and then uninstalled for good. If you know what I mean
yeah those things are rubbish. you could always play the idoser mp3s on your android phone though
Rubbish to an extent, those noises do screw with my head. Not pleasantly and nothing like the description claims.
I do remember seeing some apps for brainwave entrainment and such. The idoser site says to use the mp3 files on android and such

I have been able to find the latest version of this program, and it has some of the doses available. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to unlock all the other doses.
the obb file has all the mp3 files, and the apk file, if chabged into zip, will have lots of information, maybe the information necessary to change to have all doses unlocked is in there, but I can't find which file and what to change.
I would be pleased if someone found out how to unlock the doses and share it.

Its in the market...there is a free version with some features, possibly what you need it for, and a paid version, which is very taxing. i cant find it in my backups either.
Email me guys I will send it to u that way [email protected]
for some reason it wont attatch
Here it is. It's deodexed from one of Eugene's roms.
Thank you for posting the file !!

Excuse me for my stupid question but I would like to know if it is supported for HTC Wildfire.. I installed the apk file and asks for activation but it gives a message something like "cannot be activated in this hardware device".. The application runs perfectly but every time I run it, it gives me the same message..
Any ideas?
TIA

All I know is that it was for the Vibrant, so that could be the reason why.

That's true!
After a quick search I didn't find something familiar on Wildfire forums. I was wondering if there is any way to overpass this message for Wildfire. I am not satisfied with Quickoffice that is preinstalled and I find Thinkfree is more useful and powerful when editing a file.
Anyway! Thank you for your quick response! All we have to do is to compromise with this "activation" message or wait for something else in the future!!

I think there's an available in the Market.
Yes, there is a free version in the Market, but I believe it's not the exact same. Reason why I say that is because when I try to download documents via dropbox/websites, it always says there is a non-compatible app to view it and never downloads it, but when I have this Think Office version installed, everything is fine. Perhaps it's just me, but I find there is a difference between the Vibrant's and Market's version from my experience.
It is true that there is a free version in the Market but it is the free version which is only for viewing. I would like the full version which is for editing as well. The problem is that in Greece paid apps are not supported via Market and still I am with the stock rom, rooted though. Perhaps in the near future I will flash a custom rom to "unclock" paid apps but since then I wanted to know if there is a way to overpass that "activation" message by doing... something...!! maybe edtiting a file with root explorer...
anyway! thank you for your replies!
To get activation you have to edit build.prob from /system directory Change model and board name to GT-I5800 or GT-9000 or others model that you know; like: ro.product.device=GT-I5800 and ro.product.board=GT-I5800, save, reboot, connect to the Net and get activation code
After activated you can change back to orgiginal one
Hey guys I was editing my picture with a photo editior on the phone and when I saved it, it somewhat corrupted it which will not allow me to view it however the wallpaper,which I set it under, still shows the picture... is the picture stored in a cache ? is there a way how I can grab it from registry?
Hey guys which thread consists of alot of views on XDA? no one talks about touch pro and all these old phones... just views no comments... =(
Sorry, I usually wait for others to post about these things before I formulate an opinion, much less voice it.
I don't know for sure if this will help but can you open the picture on your computer? Basically, copy the corrupted picture to your microSD and use an adapter that works and attempt to open the picture up on your computer.

I have the corrupted picture , but when I try to open it says it can not open it and its 0kb...I want to know if its like a computer, where sometimes I delete the wallpaper picture but still using it and for me to actually get it I have to go to the windows folder and find it to copy it.. however there isn't much in the windows on the windows mobile.
But thank you R^7z, I never hear from anyone here... its the only forums that never speaks.. seriously!
I'm not sure about this but I think PPCGeeks may have a louder CDMA RAPH fan base. Either that or there seems to be more talking in the newer device forums??? I usually hang out in the RAPH/Android forums when I am on here but occasionally I do browse the newer posts.
Not 100% as to where the actual picture is stored if that is the case. I imagine if this was a stock picture, you could get it back with a hard reset. Additionally, I wonder if the photo editor saves it somewhere?
Well first off I'm glad to see that I had saved it to my computer so I do have back up, but I'll continue my search to where it does save it to... once again thanks r^72. Most forums are talking about newer phones, android espically lol but yeah I post it up on ppcgeeks asweel and got a few info but waiting for tomorrow for more.
Hi..
I have recorded a video which i tried to send through Whatsapp but i couldn't because the size is big. Is there any APP that would re-size it or like send it into more than one file (partition it)?

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.

I am truly sad that you had to trouble your hand in writing all of what you wrote.
I have already used Google and found several app's but it wasn't what i wanted exactly that's why i asked. I am not very sure why ur sad to help someone who of course ha looked and searched before asking!
The form and this section is for people to ask, so why you are sad again?

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .

Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.

Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and that is why i am posting it here. I am going to buy a new phone. The one i have stinks, however that is not the issue i want to address. I am stuck between samsung galaxy s3 and the windows 8x by HTC. The thing is that i use it for school and need to address some things about it
1) i download files a lot from my schools site, powerpoints, .rtf files, word documents, etc. So i need to know if i can download and view them right on my phone.
2) is the office application to view these files good? can i edit files if i want? SOLVED
3) i frequently use dropbox. is it supported? SOLVED
4) does it support mobile hotspot? i don't use it frequently but i have a tablet that on small occasion i have to use the hotspot.SOLVED
5) is the battery life ok on the 8x? SOLVED
6) is back up assistant on the 8x? i have verizon. if not how can i save my contacts if i go with this phone?
7) is IE 10 a good browser? i have never tried it.SOLVED
8) how is the app store? good or bad? does it have a navigation app? SOLVED
sorry for all the questions. i dont have an upgrade and want to make sure i get the right phone for the money.
i don't need to ask any questions about the s3 because i know android and that it works for all the above mentioned.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some guidance here.
S3. Why would anyone want a widows phone?

I think (but i'm really subjective) that WP8 is better than android for "working": Office is really helpful and you can read .ppt and .doc documents. Dropbox is supported and you can create an mobile hotspot easily. IE10 metro is really better than its predecessors (in desktop i still use chrome ). The app store is...mh...is better the android one i think, but compared to the wp7's store, the wp8 one is good

MS Office Mobile opens all files shown below:
Office Mobile app: Supported file types
Word Mobile: .doc, .docx, .dot, .dotx, .dotm, .docm, .txt, .rtf
Excel Mobile: .xls, .xlsx, .xlt, .xltx, .xlsm, .xltm

You should start using SkyDrive if you are going to get windows phone
I use android, and I use most of these services...
Dropbox for auto upload full size images to web instantly then download to pc.
GoogleDrive for backing up unlimited amount of photos on web (size decreases to 1024px width/height max )
SkyDrive for taking notes on the go and office files.
WP8 does support DropBox...
