I've been trying to add notifications to my phone and I can copy them to the phone using Android File Transfer on my mac. I put them in the Notifications folder and when I reboot they disappear.
Anyone know why?
It seems as though my SD card space is under the same write protection as /system.
Weird. I have a ton of music that I put on my phone using ATF, and I transfer files back and forth on a daily basis. I'll try to add a notification tonight and see if that works. In the meantime, try putting it in your music folder and then transfer it with ES or another file explorer and see if it sticks.

I did a factory reset and now stuff is sticking.
Now that I'm trying it out, I can't get ATF to connect to my phone. I rebooted both my mac and my phone, reinstalled ATF... nothing. When I think about it, I haven't actually used ATF since rooting with pwnmymoto... have you tried it since rooting? Or installing Xposed?
I'm suspecting pwnmymoto as well. As soon as I factory reset, the problem went away. I was rooted at the time of the problem
I had to plug and unplug several times to get aft to work
Damnit. I'm gonna ask jcase if it's possible that pwnmymoto breaks mtp.
Major deal-breaker if so. I'll reroot and run some tests

Not a dealbreaker for me, just a major PITA. I'll use google drive if I have to, but I really hope it doesn't come to that. Let me know what you figure out.
My problem seems to be an isolated one. I re-rooted and everything is working fine. Something corrupted my SD partition but it seems ok now

I seem to gave a rather interesting issue with my phone. Firstly, I'm running Cognition 2.3b6. When I first put this ROM on my phone I could install apps from the market over WiFi, but I'm now unable to. The last program I install was FTPFileTransferFree and used it to transfer a file over WiFi from my computer. I can still install apps from the market over 3G, and presumably EDGE as well. When I try over WiFi it'll download the file, but then won't do anything with it. Never seen, heard, or had this happen on other builds so it seems like it's just me. Anything I can do to fix it other than wiping my phone and reinstalling? That is rather drastic for such a trivial problem.

You changed your android id? Try clearing the market cache and try again.

[Q] "Device not recognized" "Drivers were not installed successfully"
Well, crap. I don't know what else to try here.
I plug in my phone to update to 2.2 and in all 4 of my USB ports I get a "usb device not recognized" error. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the root hubs, nothing. I want to try to uninstall the drivers specifically for the phone, but can't find them (running windows 7 32 bit)
What the heck man?
So far ive done:
Uninstalled the samsung captivate drivers.
Uninstalled the USB root hubs.
Uninstalled Kies Mini.
Reinstalled captivate drivers.
Reinstalled USB Root Hubs.
Reinstalled Kies Mini.
Turned on debugging before plugging it in.
Turned off debugging before plugging it in.
Changed to mass storage mode.
Changed to Media Played mode.
Changed to Kies mode.
FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.
I think that about covers it. The next step I will try is to get a new usb to micro usb cord. Then, if not that, i am going to a friends house.
I shouldn't have to go through all of this crap. Especially when it was recognized about a week ago. nothing has been changed, deleted or updated since then either.
Quite frustrating.
Anyone have any ideas? I am close to just re-installing windows and then trying...ugh i just want my update! Been waiting months and months and now I can't even get it -___-
I received an error message about an idle screen, could NOT figure it out. Finally it worked after uninstalling launcher pro! Are you using a custom launcher? Try uninstalling!

No. I apologize I should have mentioned that.
It is not rooted and there is no custom software. Everything I've got, I've downloaded from the android marketplace.

So you're saying a new phone fixed it? Well I hope that's not my only option because I don't want to go through all of that.
:/
tried getting it to work for two days and i gave up. my carrier didnt give me any trouble and sent me a replacement..hope its not ur case. tell me what you tried so far?
This sucks man. Stil nothing....I am not going to replace my handset because I bought mine online! It's worked before....so what changed???
I'm giving this one last shot.
Anyone have any ideas other than replacing my entire handset??
Make sure your using the factory cable that came with your phone and unmount your external sd card.

Yep, I am definitely using the factory cable, and I don't even have an external SD card in there right now (I tried it with and without one in and still nothing)
UPDATE:
I went to a friends house and tried to plug it in on his netbook...same exact issues, then his desktop computer...same exact issues.
So does this mean i am royally screwed and the only way I can ever connect my phone to a computer again is to get a new one? I can't even transfer files to and from the phone, so all of the music that I put on there before is completely useless now
EDIT!!!
I just totally realized something...I used to be able to use it via usb to transfer music, files, etc until I plugged it into my USB port on my kenwood car stereo's usb deck. It had given me error 19, which apparently is a connectivity error. Could these be related? Could it be possible that somehow plugging it into my stereo boned the usb functionality?
So I am not sure what the heck I did right, but it suddenly started working, and I am about 90% done with the 2.2 update.
I DID however unmount the internal SD card, then I re-mounted it and I guess that worked? Somehow there must have been a random glitch with the internal.
Anyways, if anyone else has this issue, try that!
Its a glitch in the media scanner program. Unmount your external (you can't unmount the internal), pull the card out, re install. We found this when doing the rodgers update, lot of people had this problem.

I had some issues with the drivers originally. I downloaded the wrong ones from the Samsung site. Take a look for the drivers in myriad XDA threads and see if those work, after uninstalling the ones you have loaded.

Hello,
one thing that really bugs me about the razr i is that it is not a mass medium, but MTP device when you connect it with the PC. I have serious issues with that (7/64bit). I don't know whether it's the driver or MTP itself, but when i connect my razr i to my PC, everything is like in slow motion.
I click "Computer" ... the blue bar in the adress bar starts running at the left side. Even this takes up to 30 seconds sometimes. I click my razr i, give it a bit of time to select SDCard. This is where it gets really funny.
Each time i navigate through the menus, it has to rebuild the index or anything similar to it. It takes 2+ minutes (!!) for every folder to show up. But it's not over yet, when i want to go to music and click this folder, it's the same issue. The connection is so incredible slow, it's faster uploading and redownloading it. A few weeks ago i copied 3gb to the SD card and it took one or two hours.
When i first discovered, how incredible slow the phone is when i want to access the SD card, i tried to put it into a cardreader, but it's somehow encrypted now (i did not encrypt it by myself, i think the razr does it by itself without asking?). Does anyone have similar issues, has a workaround (i could imagine it's because of my PC, not the phone itself)?
Wnna know something funny? I had similar issues, and using the usb ports in the back of my computer solved it. Also, i strongly recommend you to use AirDroid, its insanely fast.

Back ports, same issue. I started to copy a folder to the internal storage 10 minutes ago, so far it had copied 500kb (50 png icons)
I'm downloading airdroid right now. Anyway i hope MTP will work one day as i think wireless is just a workaround .. I could swear for an hour straight, why did they remove the mass medium option that my DHD always had?
I take sd card out every time
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
MTP just sucks really.
its much worse on my galaxy nexus then on the razr i. But at least on the razr i I can take the sd card out.
Not sure why google went with MTP.
Edit also could be slow as the phone is still reading and writing to the sd card at the same time as the pc.
Slower than on the razr i? 500kb in 10 minutes is ... 830 bytes per second. 830 BYTES!! Even floppies were faster than that!
Thanks for the AirDroid tip, very useful. One drawback is - apart from that it doesn't work with my beloved opera - it also tells me in chrome that it can't upload folders. So i have to create them manually.. Works fine anyway and it's enough for my needs. Thank you, you made copying to the razr i almost enjoyable!
That is a lot slower then it should be what OS are you running?

Win7 x64. I already reinstalled the moto drivers.
I think that my old mainboard (Gigabyte P35-DS3P) could be the cause .. Although my windows install is pretty old and doesn't run that well anymore. I think i'll format my system soon, maybe it's gone after that.
ON 4.1/4.2 I had no issues with mounting phone to transfer files. Even on GPE roms with 4.3 no issues. But all 4.3 sense roms I cannot get it to mount and allow me to transfer files. What it does right now when I plug it in goes through found new hardware attempting to install, no go, or select advanced and it says not installed because it couldn't find necessary software. Then it comes up with HTC One Camera connected and shows stupid options that don't help me at all like; Dropbox and microsoft options and stuff.
Things I've already attempted
Removed drivers
attempted to re-install them
USB debugging on, rebooted between selecting/deselecting options phone & computer.
Removed HTC Sync, attempted to reinstall get an error upon trying 1152 Error extracting to temp location, I cannot change its desired location though, stupid lol.
Cannot delete C:\HTC folder cause of passthrusvr.exe I don't need or want that (my understanding it is for passing internet connections and such).
I'm on XP, I know its a dinosaur, it gets what I need done, until now lol.
Oh ya, it connects fine to other computers like my works and a friends. Just not mine which has all my music on it... :-\
I just wanna move some music over and stuff, hate going back and forth on backups to do so.
I won't be available til tomorrow to trouble shoot or late tonight depending on how things go later.

Umm sounds like the problem isn't with your phone but with your computer and windows is such a finicky os that not one solution works for all kind of thing. Just a thought are your firewalls configured properly? What does the computer show when plugging it in device manager? Sometimes my phone and laptop don't play along and its either because I have fast charge enabled in kernel or I just turn debugging off always works then and the phone is recognized as mass storage device. Good luck

I don't use anti virus or have any firewalls active as far as I know, it looks for cdc serial but then nothing happens so it mounts as an HTC One camera device. Stock kernel as well, appreciate the trying tho.

And its def a computer thing which I'm not super knowledgeable on unfortunately. I've got it to connect on other PCs and laptops without a hiccup, also have tried differs cables also, before that's suggested too. I'm almost positive it's just the leftovers from drivers that I can't seem to fully get rid of.

Hi, all. Ok, so since my november I have been waiting for Z3 compact root and great news of recent.
Since november, I have only used my phone just to make calls, after a major balls up when I flashed a firmware via flashtool without backing up. And even though technically, it should not have not wiped my data, it did.
I had some very precious and sentimental wedding images and 3 4k videos on the internal memory. (didn't have a sd card at that time) So, did not want to overwrite any new data.
Today, after rooting, I could use undelete type software with root access to recover my images. After all the waiting non of the *Top* apps worked!! wth. So, disappointed, some of u may laugh.
Anybody got any suggestions please. Any quality pro style apps, like used for PC recovery. Recovery on a low level perhaps (if possible)
I tried diskdigger, undeleter, recuva, hexamob, wondershare.
Please, anybody
Thanks for reading

Sorry, but you won't get them back...
That's why I try to get pictures saved to my laptop as soon as I'm home, regardless of all this automatic cloud saving.
Edit:
And: saving to ext sd or finding an option in an app to do so first place.

Habit ?
Was in a similar situation when I had to put one of our dogs to final sleep. Very nice and emotional pictures, I lost them due to flashing the next or other days. The wife saved them with her own, real camera. That's what always reminds me to save important pictures.
Anybody else. I waited a long while to not use my phone after my mess up. There has got to be a way to retrieve data off my phone even if I have flashed it.
I'm sure forensic experts could find such images etc.
PC data can be recovered even after so many wipes, there must me someone here with some expertise?
Please can someone help?
i lost my data 2 days ago after using flashtool to flash a ROM,so now i put my data into sdcard

Thats too bad . But I see on TV shows all the time, using sophisticated software to recover data all the time. I'm sure this is possible somehow. My photo's are very very important to get back.
I always hear that PC HDD and phones people sell are very easy to find the data from.
People do not know that they are not always fully wiped.
Hook your phone up to your PC and try the several programs for the PC available for android internal storage restoration, just google a bit you will find tutorials and what not.
If you have not overwritten the files they might still be there. If you overwrote them i fear they are lost.

well,yes,PC data can find back easily,but if the data was covered by new data,it is hard to find back either on PC or phones
if your phone haven't cover new data,then i could say good luck to you and wish you find someway
I don't know if you can recover those files at home, but maybe guys like http://www.krollontrack.co.uk can do it.
It probably won't be cheap though.
