I'm having an issue getting Windows 7 to actually change the folder. I go to the Bluetooth settings and change it under the Share tab to where I want it, but files I send from my phone still go into the default Bluetooth folder.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi all,
Has anyone had luck with the lan connection in File Manager HD, from your Xoom to your PC? I have a shared folder on my PC from which I would like to transfer some pictures to my Xoom. I"m missing something as the connection fails. The permissions on the PC are right, I believe. Do I need to enable an FTP or smb server on my win 7 laptop? I need the abillity for wifi transfers to and from my zoom so any other app recommendations are appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

I don't have problems with SMB transfer from both File Manager HD nor ES File Explorer... usually, the key is the login credentials... you'll probably have to check the settings in your Desk pc (maybe firewall too)... as long they're correct and you're in the same LAN, it should not be a problem
(it could be much faster, but at least it works...)
Now I'm using File Expert on my Zoom and an FTP client on my Win7 machine. I'm still trying to get FM HD to work. I've tried every networking trick I know and that is quite. A few.
I'll post back here as soon as I do.

I am using ES File Manager and the obvious needed checking, IP Address (check), LOGON credentials (I forgot I had to log on to the PC so Username and Password)(check). I have my D:\ shared in Windows so maybe that is the missing link ?
I get a connection and all the folders that show up are empty. The folder names, however, are correct.

This means that you have to edit the connection and put in your log in information

So I have stored a lot of music using the default google music app and its gone to the internal data and I just received a memory card and want to change the musics' storage location to the new card but the only option I can find is to change the location of saving for when using Windows Media Sync. Is there any way to move the music and have the music app recognize the new location? I am rooted btw

The app will recogonise the music on either of the sd cards.

Use a file manager like Astro, and copy and paste the folder?

If nothing else works, connect your phone to your computer for mass usb storage. On PCs it may not recognize both sd cards, but on my Mac it does, and I simply transfer things from one disk to the other that way. Got any friends with Linux or Mac?

This is the method that puts it where you want it to be.
The next step I go to is to tell any program that I am going to use to save files to use /sdcard-ext/-insert your folder here- so my files go where I want them to.

If you have lots of files, it is better to do it through usb connection. Otherwise, app like Astro file manager is the way to go.
Using bluetooth, I was able to transfer files between a TP and my phone but could not transfer files between my two TPs.
Any idea?
Thank you

Do they even see eachother?
I was able to pair them but can't send file.

Have you tried in webOS? I think it has something to do with the bluetooth address (not bluetooth name). They are the same in all the touchpads so although you can 'pair' it, they do not communicate with each other.
Here is my two touchpads (32Gb and 16Gb), same BT Address in Status.
I can't send OR receive anything with my touchpad via Bluetooth. It pairs just fine with my PC and other devices but unable to send or receive

you can't send files natively between Androids using Bluetooth. only contacts
Just use an app that supports obex ftp and obex opp. I like es file explorer. It's the shizznit.

I don't understand where you got this idea that you cannot transfer files over bt between two android devices. I move files back and forth between different android devices all the time. Here are some screenshots of the asus tf101 and the touchpad transferring files back and forth over a bluetooth connection.
I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated.
This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error.
The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special.
I couldn't find anyone on the internet with a similar issue, so I put this here.
//edit1: I have only one user set up: me alias the owner.
Hi have a look at your settings in multi user accounts. It hides them so others can not see them

I fail to see how that should affect why I don't "see" my files anymore. I haven't switched the user, I only have one: the owner. May you please make your point more clear?
You can alter where things are stored. Have you connected back to pc to search tab that way. Check storeage settings did you use ptp or mtp for transfer

I used MTP. The tablet looks empty from "within" via Totalcommander & EStrong Filemanager. Also other apps like music don't see my files. Storage shows suspiciously much free space, I guess it's really gone. From PC it looks the same, completely wiped. It recreated the /sdcard/Android-Folder, and the Apps I've used since recreated their folders... I can't find where you meant I could alter where things are stored. Storage just let's me delete stuff and users just let's me edit the away-message.
Thanks anyway so far.
Hi I use wifi file explorer. Try that to transfer your files and let me know how it goes. Its in the playstore/market

Hi all, just a quick one, does anyone know how to set a custom text tone? I've got an mp3 file, I've messed around with file explorer and placed it in media, audio, notifications and also created a notifications folder but it's still not being recognized in the settings as a choice for notifications.
I'm not rooted.
It's odd because I can see the Facebook pop sound in the notifications folder I'm trying to put this file in.

Ps-original file I'm trying to use is a voice memo if that makes any difference

I downloaded some sounds off zedge and had to move them to the /media/notification folder and they did not show up, after restarting my device they were there.
