Unstable wifi connection - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I am having a very annoying problem but I don't know if it is application or system related. When I try to copy a file from my network drive to SD card with ES File Explorer the whole thing copyes normaly or (most of the time) I get an error. After that the wifi connection doesn't work anywhere (browser, market...) and I can make it work again by disabling and re-eanabling it. After that I can browse the internet.... but I still can't copy a file from a network HD. The whole thing just repeats itself. Or downloads a % or two and stops with an error.

Root your phone and grab the app "WifiPowerSavingOff" from market.

Judging by the name of it - won't it eat my battery faster? Because I like to have my wifi enabled all the time.

[Q] Force Closes When hooking up to pc

It just started when I was trying to transfer files from my phone to win7.
It does it every time too:
When I connect the phone and the 'USB connection' window pops up, only 2 programs force close, Lookout and Folder Organizer. They do not force close if I connect using PC Mode, Windows Media Sync, or Charge Only. Just with USB Mass Storage, and it is consistent and always only those 2 programs. I took about 5 screenshots of logs while it was happening that I put in a zip if anyone can understand them. I am amazed how much log material there is even for one minute of time...
I am rooted, Eclipse 3. and those 2 programs have been installed for a few days with connections to the pc going without FC's.
Thank you

It's because the apps are running from the scars and when you mount it with windows your phone can't see it anymore
Hi Willis...thank u so much... did you know that from experience or did the logs indicate that?.. I could have sworn those were installed on main phone...odd.. because I have had both those programs for years each time I flash a rom.... I will move them...why didn't all the other apps on the sdcard fc? Just curious. So what lines in the log would indicate a fc. I briefly scanned them but could not fully understand them.

just from experience/problem solving/troubleshooting as well the fact that you mention everything works fine until you mount your sdcard as a mass storage device. Your logs indicated "unknown resources" when launching an app although I do some some dalvik permission errors after that which seems a little off but the resources are unknown/not found because they are removed from your phone when the card is mounted in the computer instead of the phone

[Q] Filesystem refresh T <-> PC

After having dowloaded or created new files on my phone , it can last a long time before I can see them on my PC via USB connection. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix that?

I have seen that, Seems to happen on internal memory, try putting the file on external (Those might be the other way round, its been a while since I have noticed it)
The other thing I have done is disconnect and reboot phone

Yes, I've already tested these solutions, sometimes work sometimes not...
Try using airdroid or wifi file transfer from the market.

I never connect to the PC via USB anymore. The charge you gain is poor compared to A/C.
I purchased wifi file transfer pro and use it every day. You dont have to mount and unmount, then wait for the sdcard to be read. You can throw files back and forth in an instant.:good:
I use airdroid for screenshots but its virtually the same.
Thanks! I'll try that.

I use airdroid and other apps as well. they are good for throwing files but slow in transferring big files via wifi (Like roms etc) but for everyday file transfer these are good.
Dropbox also automatically uploads my pics, and myphonexplorer is also very good

Sudently unable to access any windows share

Hello,
I'm having a problem right now with my htc one.
One night, I installed es file manager and stream music, video and other stuff through my windows 7 pc over lan/wifi share. Everything is great. Then, some time later, I try again and my phone either simply say failed or the apps sit there saying "loading".
I have 2 htc one running both latest stock telus rom. I launch es file manager on the other phone, it work flawlessly. I tried uninstalling es file manager, installing other apps that claim it can access samba share, nothing work. They are both on same wifi network, using same username/pass (even anonymous that I activated for testing), one of them still won't connect.
Is there known program that could do that? I had the same problem with my one x+ in the past, and my other phone as well.
Thanks

[Q] Connection to PC Problems/Retrieving Deleted Files

First of all, my HTC One is not rooted. My PC has Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit.
Here is how my problem started (the phone not being seen problem may have existed prior to this). I connected my phone to my computer (a sound played during connection). Autostart opened Windows Explorer showing the phone storage. I double clicked to find the folder where my videos were. I right clicked the video I wanted to transfer to my PC, chose 'cut', right clicked the desktop and chose 'paste'. The video disappeared from the folder on the phone, but was not on the desktop. I refreshed the desktop, but the file still did not appear.
I restarted both the PC and the phone. Tried reconnecting and started getting notifications in the taskbar 'installing drivers', as if the phone's driver's had been uninstalled. The driver installation failed. I tried a Windows update and found updates available, but the installation failed (code 800F020B). I ran System File Checker and repeated the above, but the update failed. Strangely though, if I opened Explorer, the phone showed up (however on some occasions it didn't).
I therefore installed 'Undelete 360'. Tried to access the phone to retrieve files, but the program couldn't see the phone (even though I could access files via explorer). I thought it may be the software, so I tried 'Remo Recover', but the same happened again.
I have also tried uninstalling drivers (unknown device in Device Manager) and restarting, but to no avail.
I have the latest version of HTC Sync Manager installed, but this program seems to be of no use.
The phone is in USB debugging mode and when attached to the PC is showing 'MTP Enabled' (I can't find anyway to change this). Android version 4.3. The only other noticeable problem on the phone is that HTC Sync, which was supposed to be in sync with Gmail, is hsowing 'Sync Off' and I can't switch it back on.
I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this. My objective is to retrieve the video files I tried to 'cut' and 'paste'.
You probably can't get the file back, sorry. The device connects with MTP which does not support the required low-level operations. I highly doubt an app from the Play store would work, but its your best bet.
In future you'd be better off copying and then deleting.

Thanks for your reply Ben. That's bad news.
So the fact that it only connects with MTP means that the device may not be visible in certain circumstances and I'll have to live with that. This doesn't explain why from time to time when I connect the phone, my PC starts to install drivers and sometimes the instillation fails. There seems to be something else afoot.
