Cannot make new folders on my internal sdcard - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have my Onda V972 for about a year now and it works great but since yesterday I cannot make new folders or copy other folders to my internal sdcard.
I was working with "Ofline Browser" and on a given moment he just stopped copying webpages and said "Cannot find .....".
I checked the r/w permissions with ES File Explorer and all is well.
I can make a new file or copy one to an existing folder but I cannot make new folders or subfolders.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Have you tried any other file explorer?
Or trying to make new folders from your PC?

Yes, I tried several file managers.
I can make new folders on it from the PC.
Just to be clear: It is about my internal sdcard, my external sdcard works fine!

I can't even make new folders from the PC because I cannot access it anymore.

Yes I am sure, it just happened without a reason.
The stupid thing is that everything works fine but when an app tries to make a new folder or subfolder it says that it can't find the file.
Thats because he couldn't make the folder.
Strange huh?

I was considering this but I couldn't make a copy or backup from this disk so I would loose everything on it.
Finally after a few days trying I managed to connect to the PC and I simply repaired the disk from within Explorer.
All works well again now.
Thanks for the help and thinking.

Remote app removed, please help

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum so flame away if I'm screwing up right off the bat...
I have a Sony Table S Model SGBT112US/S. I just did the latest Android OS update (4.0.0 (release5a)) and the remote app was completely removed. Calls and chats with Sony resulted in doing 2 factory resets, no dice. Does anyone have a DL file for the app? I tried Touchsquid as an alternative and it didn't work at all. Many thanks in advance.

Remote Control apk files from /vendor/app/ folder. Download irremote.zip from 4shared HERE. If you do not have a 4shared account, create one, it is free. The irremote.zip file contains irremote.apk, irremoteapiservice.apk, and irremoteservice.apk.
Thanks, but when I downloaded, unzipped(w/AndroZip) and installed it just freezes. Should I DL to my computer first then transfer via USB?
When I plugged it into my computer via USB I couldn't even find the /vendor/app/ folder, am I screwing something up?

Before I go into too much detail, tell me: Do you have root access on your tablet? Also, have you installed an app like ES File Manager or Root Explorer?
Yes, I have ES File Explorer.

I apologize for taking so long to get back with you. Truth be told, I forgot. Anyway...
The three apk files for the Remote Control app should be located the following directories.
/vendor/app/
/datapp/vendor/vendor0/app/
/datapp/vendor/vendor1/app/
Extract the files from irremote.zip, copy them into each directory, and reboot your tablet. After reboot, the Remote Control app should be installed.

No dice, it just says "file cannot be moved"

That is probably because the directories are mounted as r/o and ES File Explorer cannot get past that. So, instead of using ES File Explorer, use Root Explorer to first mount the directories as r/w (via button in upper left corner of Root Explorer's screen) and then copy the files to the directories. After copying the files to the directories, re-mount the directories as r/o (again via button in upper left corner of Root Explorer's screen).
Do you know where to put files for Xperia Tablet S, because i also want back the IR Remote Control, and do the same files work with XTS?
I don't have the same folder directories as Sony Tablet S
Thanks in advance!

If you have root access, find the apk, put it under /system/app directory, and give 655 permission then reboot.

Sony Tablet S IRRemote files
Hallo, I know I'm quite late with this thread, however I still need these 3 files
irremote.apk, irremoteapiservice.apk, and irremoteservice.apk
for recovering my infrared connection. I got a link from this thread, but it is not usable anymore.
Can somebody tell me where I can get them from ?
Thank you in advance !

Sony Tablet S IR control
All right,
I found all three files, put all of them in the right directories and restarted the tablet.
Result: operating the remote control app I have absolutely no signal coming out from the LED (flashing light checked with digital camera).
Am i missing some other files or signal code ??
Thanks, cheers

Everthind deleted

I was removing files to free up my device when suddenly everything got deleted!
at max i remember there was a file with something like storage/sdcard0/. i think that must have been the some sdard shortcut or something but i was already inside the sdard! and i didnt even create it! it automatically came up!

First you need to calm down, and give some more details of what happened and exactly what did you do for it to happen, what software do you use (e.g Root Explorer) etc..
/storage/sdcard0 is the mount point for internal strorage on the root file system, it is always there.
Are there any files inside /storage/sdcard0?

What have you deleted, /storage/sdcard0?
Is it still there? If not create
All files are probably gone if you done so, but there are file recovery apps you can try, search Google Play

But you answered your question yourself, you need to put the .OBB file in android\data\obb folder of your phone memory, and best use a computer to do this, or ES files explorer

ASEC containers are partition images anyway, if you have the actual app already installed move it back to /data using Link2SD then it will have files in the standard locations (/data/app, /data/data, /sdcard/Android)... but then OBB always goes to media partition IIRC

I haven't tried asphalt, but if the app was dl'd through play store, shouldn't the obb file be already in the correct location? (sdcard/Android/(file folder)/.obb file)? Now I understand op is trying to move files from PC to phone. Even if he moved the apk to /data/app or install it the location of the .obb file will not change. Regardless of the apk being installed or not, unless he downloads it through the app, which is not the case. He needs to copy it in the correct location.

ES File Explorer Help

A couple of questions,
I used to use this app on the HTC One (M7),
-i was able to create folders and move files around
-also had an option on some websites including facebook to download via 'ES Downloader' when i clicked on a video.
now on the Z2
-creating folder and moving files around is not possible anymore, am using the 'File Commander' app that is preintalled to do so
i needed this function as the Z2 internal storage is just not enough, have to move media files to the SD card.
(have seen somewhere that KitKat has stopped this function on the ES app, this true?
-no option of the ES downloader to download videos anymore when i click on a video, it just goes straight to playback.
i'm not sure if its the KitKat thing, because my HTC One was on KitKat also when i was able to do all the above mentioned
and feedback is greatly appreciated
TIA
****Both devices are NOT rooted
You need to root to write on SD card with ES.
to clear things up
both the devices are factory without root
HTC probably did something to make it work. KitKat issue though. Only file commander seems to work like u said.

You need to edit the platform.xml file under system/etc/permissions/ in order for any "USER" app to edit the external SD card.
This is a KitKat issue (not Sony).
Google for instructions.

hope that clears it up for you.
Because i download quite a few videos, and those apps initially have the download content on the internal storage, being this phone only has 16GB, it's now such a pain
i'm no android system pro and really not confident in editing or changing any of the factory settings, i probably will just carry on and do the download then use the File Commander to move the content from internal to SD
