[Q] how to transfer a video file from lumia 1020 to pc - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dont find a way to transfer video files from Lumia 1020 to PC or to anywere else.
I shot video with an app named Video Camera Pro - it puts the files in some hidden forder , not in camera roll.
The app says that the way to upload the files is by wi-fi and they provide a link to download a server software but its broken.
I would appreciate any idea how to transfer those files (which are quite important to me)
Thanks

[Q] SkyDrive Photo backup on Wifi

Hi,
I am backing up data via skydrive of taken photos and videos.
I set up to to this when Wifi settings are on in decent quality.
But for some reason not all files are going to skydrive even having the phone in the Wifi over night.
Is there a manual way to trigger this process or is it just not working properly
Screenshot for example are all not transferred in the cloud
noone? uploads waiting in photo app just shows the taken photos with the camera but not screenshots and saved pictures
I would check your settings, maybe enable and disable SkyDrive settings, since I just tested this and image I saved from internet got uploaded under 20sec of saving it to phone.
checked that.. turned it off and on .. but still its just the camera roll folder getting synced. saved something something and screenshots are not getting synced anymore

Restore pictures and ZOE from Dropbox ??

So... All images, videos and ZOE's i've taken with my HTC One, has been synced with Dropbox... but today i had to reset my phone, which deleted all data on the phone
ZOE's are useless, unless they are on the phone - so the question is, is it possible to restore ZOE, pictures and video from Dropbox ?
I did try renaming a set of files in dropbox (a set of zoe files) and transfer them to the phone , but the phone doesnt recognize the ZOE
I think some clever xda'er needs to write a batch conversion tool because you are not alone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can do that... in C#... but what bothers me, is that the phone doesn't recognize the ZOE - even if they are named correctly
One solution i can think of, is to convert the images to high resolution MP4's .. (the existing MP4 is low res)
EDIT:
on second thought... the ZOE mp4 are actually FullHD (1920x1088) ... so... im thinking i could toss out the jpg files and just restore the mp4 files... i wonder if that would work

[Q] Picture folder full without pictures

My girlfriend makes alot photos from our kids. The folder was almost full some days ago so she moved (not copied) all pictures onto her laptop. When we look at the storage details the pictures still take about 19GiB but looking at the pictures we just see that there is nothing. I guess the folder is full with hidden files. Is there any way to get rid of them without using factory reset?
Nokia Lumia 1020
Did she use the Nokia software to do it? For reasons not completley obvious to me, Nokia stores the high-resolution photos (which will be the vast bulk of the stored data) that its camera app uses separately from the "normal" (5MPx) resolution photos that every other app (including the OS) sees. It sounds like she moved off the low-res images but not the high-res ones. If you check the Nokia camera app (instead of the built-in Pictures app) are the photos still there?
I believe there's a desktop app from Nokia that can retrieve those files...?

When i connect my 1020 to my PC i have acces to "Ordinateur\Nokia Lumia 1020\Phone\Pictures\Camera Roll" witout app.
Yes, but that's the public files exposed by the OS only. App files, including the pictures that the high-end Lumias take, don't seem to be included.
In the folder you have : Smart.nar (SmartCam), Pro.jpg (ProCam5Mp), Pro__highres.jpg (ProCam High-res).

[Q] Panorama 360 photos not showing correctly in the Gallery after rename/copy/move

Hi,
I took some panorama 360 photos last week and they were showing fine in the Gallery (the panorama icon was showing) and I was able to explore them with the gyroscope. But after moving them to another folder with a file explorer they are not shown as panorama pictures anymore (the icon is not showing and they appear ugly). I tried moving them again to their original folder but it still does not work.
I did some research and took new pictures and discovered that even renaming them prevents them from showing correctly in the Gallery. The only operations allowed that don't "break" them in Gallery are the ones provided directly by the Gallery application (copy or move to another album), any other operation performed with an external file explorer app breaks the gallery compatibility with these files.
I have uploaded the pictures to Google+ and they are displayed correctly, so they are fine and there is no corruption, so it seems to be a problem with the Gallery application.
Do you know how to fix this problem? I would like to be able to see the again in the phone, the gyroscope exploration is amazing :good:
Thank you very much in advance.
Any ideas about it?
Thanks

Cannot open photos properly in windows explorer

Hey guys, I have an issue with my N6, with opening and viewing my photos.
I can view my files and folders in MTP mode on my computer running Windows 7 just fine from a general standpoint. I can click through folders, files and navigate just fine.
When it comes to photos I can see all thumbnails for my photos in DCIM ---> Camera, but when i double click to open, windows photo viewer (default that comes with Windows 7) will try to open it and it gives me an error "Window's Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to photo Viewer."
Then it proceeds to hang in that windows and I have to force close it because it's "Not responding". If I try a second time, but instead, right click on the photo and hit open, it opens up fine with the photo viewer that I have set as default (FastStone Image Viewer), it opens up just fine.
I can only click left and right through the photos that I right clicked to open. So if I opened 3 photos using the right click method I can use the arrow keys left and right to view only those 3 photos. I also tried Camera (PTP) mode and still the same issue. Charge only mode forces Camera (PTP) Mode for some odd reason.
I have my drivers installed, I can navigate photos, files, folders, but I can't double click to open any photos and these are just regular photos taken with the standard default camera app in android with no strings attached.
To be fair this is a nuanced problem and I can easily circumvent it by right clicking to open up each photo but what the heck man. I'm tired of having these issues. I want things to work properly... Any ideas?
Bump.
Anyone?
hey OP try ACDsee image viewer free .. copy and paste in pc if it didn't worked test it in other pc running newer version of windows hope it works.
I don't want to have to use third-party software or copy and paste to circumvent an issue like this...
Anyone?
Probably not what you want to hear- but the easiest workaround on the planet. Install Google Photos (free unlimited "high quality" photo cloud storage), any time you want to view your photos go to http://photos.google.com
