Windows Directory

Is there any way to view/edit the contents of the Windows directory on my AT&T Tilt from a PC? I want to customize the shortcuts/folders/startup programs and the only way to even see the Windows directory is on the phone itself, which is extremely tedious. The Windows directory does not show up in Windows Explorer, ActiveSync or other 3rd party software I have tried that contain file browsers. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I must be misunderstanding what your asking because...
If you are using Activesync, you most certainly can browes files on your phone as you would the files on your desktop. Two ways to get there. Either by:
My Computer \ Mobile Device
Or through the Activesync program and clicking on the Explore icon.
You also may want to make sure you have your view settings to where hidden files can be seen.

I can see all folders/files except for the Windows Directory from my PC. Nothing is set to hidden.

I'm guessing that you're using Vista....you need to go to your folder options in Vista (Organize->Folder and Search Options->View) and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."

Tried on another machine (both running XP) and it's fine. Settings are the same on both. Could it be something with permissions? Thank for your replies.

With active synch up, click explore
Now click My Window Mobile-Based Device
Windows folder should be there along with your storage card
If it isn't, your device is probably possessed by the devil and you should consider an exorcism

Yep - works that way on one machine but not the other.
Oh, and your mother sucks c**ks in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime...

Found the problem. Had contracted a root kit virus some time ago on my other machine. Was able to clean everyhing, but one of the wonderful features of this virus was to delete the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden" key.
Sneaky bastards...
I restored it from the good machine and everything is all good now.
Thanks again for everyone's time.

I guess Smuook was right, possessed by the devil.

It does work cause i have windows 7 and it works for me and yes it works for all the android phones connect the phone to the computer and in your phone go to settings then go to manage apps and turn on debugged so your pc suite can reconize it

Funny, I've downloaded the program 3 diff times on 3diff win7 x64 ultimate pc's and none of them run it.... I'm a computer tech and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work.

Or I just won't use the program that is good for nothing. Why would I search for a file when he posted one that "works" Maybe because it doesn't "work" and has been proven by not just me. So take your ignorant remarks elsewhere.

why are you still complaining? if it doesnt work for you ok you dont have to keep saying the same thing we get it steve jobs!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope right area, how do I install CAB to phone

Well, just when i think I have things figured out. If a cab is right for my phone, how do I get it onto the phone. Can I do it by the USB hooking it up to my Desktop and then copy and paste into the phone from the desktop? How do I then look at the phone and see if that cab is really there and launch it??
I have a file that tells me it's a CAB file to launch the BTAG that activates the Bluetooth settings and Voice Mail 1.6. It is from a cooked ROM and I only want this one CAB....
Thanks

Just put the .cab in intern memory or your storage card. Launch it (by clicking on it) via File Explorer.

hmm, the question is ok but not as a new thread, not in dev; how about general - newbies questions?
I really do hope that you don't make it a habit of yours starting new threads for every single question you have, urgent or not
thx for helping him
to finalize: use disk drive mode to get it to your phone via usb (activesync might lead to data conversion), you are able to select the target folder, disconnect, open a file explorer, navigate to your dir containing the cab and click/double click it for installation
depending on the cab it will either be installed (to device mem) or you will be asked where to install it (device mem or sd)
done and best

Transfering .pdf files over to the HD7

I've been tearing my hair out wondering how the heck am i gonna do this. Syncing via bluetooth through my laptop doesn't work (says hd7 wont accept file transfers) I tried uploading to gigasize.com, no luck, and I've tried emailing, but there's n email system big enough.
Anyone have ANY idea how i can transfer random files over for the HTC HD7?

SkyDrive is an option. Cloud-based storage free with your Live account (hotmail, msn, live)
This link will help with that.

didn't end up working, the file i have is 100MB, the limited space on skydrive is 50MB =[ close but no dice, are there any other altenatives? can i bluetooth from one phone to the other?

My SkyDrive Account has 25 gigs?

any way you can help me figure this out?

Hi!
Try to set you screen lock to never:
Settings -> lock & wallpaper -> Screen time-out: never
Than try again the steps described in post #9.
After finished set back screen lock time-out to original value to preserve battery power.
Regards,
Cina.

Doesn't seem to work, but thank you for the insight =] I really appreciate everyone's help but i think i've come to terms with just simply giving up.... I'm reinstalling windows 7 and XP so i might jump back up and try it once more

You can try to e-mail the files to yourself or you can try other online storage services
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitations, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Never tried this method with any file larger than 50Mb but with smaller ones works like a charm
Cheers

I have an HD7 that is Chevron unlocked and this does not work for me at all. I cant even enable mass storage. Can someone help me with that?

[Q] Connecting phone to PC, treat as proper storage drive.

This one has puzzled me for quite some time.
When connecting my One or most android phones to my PC, it will appear as a drive but it NEVER works like an SD card or USB stick would.
Here is a list of things which really frustrate me about this:
You can't drag'n'drop from iTunes (or another audio programme) or WinRar to the drive, it won't have none of it. Instead you have to copy/extract the file to another location, say desktop and then move it to your desired folder on the phone.
Creating a folder on the phone using Windows causes issues. I create a new folder, it asks for a name, I name it and hit enter and then it freezes. For about 2/3 minutes it does nothing and then bam, new folder.
You can't create folder shortcuts. Example, I have podcasts I place in the same directory on the phone, instead of allowing me to create a shortcut or link to the folder, I have to navigate to the folder each time. It's a ball ache.
When you have a usb stick and you copy the address it will look like this, F:\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. When you connect an android phone it looks like this, This PC\HTC One\Internal storage\backups. Obviously pasting this address into a programme for it to use doesn't work as it doesn't recognise This PC.
Everytime I copy certain files to the phone, like m4a, Windows will ALWAYS ask if I want to convert it first. No thanks, leave it. But it asks everytime. If it treated it like a proper drive, this wouldn't happen.
I guess it is treating the phone as a camera or something, but really? It's really irritates me when the limitations on this crop up and leave me furious.
So finally, the question, is there any way which I can do the following:
Every time I connect my phone it will treat it like a proper drive, so I can drag and drop from iTunes etc and create shortcuts which remain when the device is removed and re-inserted.
If it can't ever happen, can someone explain to me why not?
Sorry for the wall of text, been on my mind for a while and annoying me for much longer.

Guess I am the only one with this issue then.

Unfortunately you can't mount it as a drive, it can only be accessed via MTP protocol; so you need to think of it as camera/mp3 player/etc.
But about these questions:

I don't know about iTunes, but Windows Media Player recognizes MTP (and therefore the phone), and you can sync music, pictures, and videos... I would assume iTunes should recognize MTP devices too.
WinRar to the drive, it won't have none of it. Instead you have to copy/extract the file to another location, say desktop and then move it to your desired folder on the phone.

Any program that doesn't know about MTP has that problem, no workaround

Happens to me too, but since I don't copy much stuff to the phone, I don't care. But I'm sure there's some kind of setting (probably in the windows registry) to disable that. Try searching a bit, maybe you'll find it.
