Z3 compact and maybe all Sony has problem with filesystem writing ? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The problem described as, when I copied or modified an file at OTG drive, with any file manager, it won't displayed on PC, until I plug on other android (not sony of course) and do manipulating or modify operation to that file like rename or move to other folder.
Is there any fix for z3 and all Sony product that have this problem ?
Any help appreciated.

MTP is crap on Windows. No scratch that, it's crap everywhere.

don't know if this is the cause but under settings go to system and click on encryption .. make sure the box that says "encrypt files when placed on storage card" is clear. I think the phone might be encrypting the files thats why you can't use them on computer (but i might be wrong). atleast this is the only thing i think could cause this.

Excuse me, my english is very very bad.
I have a phone Sony Ericsson Xperia X1i and I have install any program. After this installation, my phone alone created a few folders (files) in folder Windows/Start/Programs. Now i want erase this files, but it is not enabled. Help me please

It seems those files are write protected. Use a third party file explorer like total commander to remove the write protection.

This process I am already tried, but possibility remove protect is not there offer. Remove files is impossible. Have you some another idea? Thanks.

[Q] File synching

If I edit a file on my GT-N7000, is there an app that will automatically copy that file to my other Android devices overwriting the older version as soon as the devices are connected to a PC?
I only want to do this when I have the Android devices (in this case a GT-N000 and a GT-N8020) connected to a Windows PC. I usually have them connected via the stock usb cables and can copy files to/from using either Windows Explorer or MyPhoneExplorer. What I would like is a way to do this automatically. If I have edited a document on one device, it gets copied to the other ovrrwriting the older version.
Thanks in advance.

Root/system folder

hi again
I have small problem that I find quite annoying
Xperia SP on android 4.3 (....1.207 rom)
device is rooted with towelroot + SuperSU,
no matter which file manager with root capability I use and go into SYSTEM folder
and either create new folder and delete it, or copy something from SD to system Audio folder
things get broken...
Folder cannot be deleted even if its newly created, and has nothing init
nothing cannot be copied in Audio folder, as everything gets erased by ... system ?
and my annoyance goes to, if its rooted OS, and I as user have "full access"
why are these things happening ?
is there something I need to learn of how android deals with stuff specially ?
As far as i can remember, i haven't faced this issue in my past (was ages since i last used stock ROM). But i can safely say it might be related to your actual file manager. Can you list me the file managers you used?
I would also recommend trying to use Solid Explorer Classic for the sake of testing, and also Fx File manager.
Basically, when you want to do a change in the system directory, the system partition must be remounted as read-write because the folder resides on a different partition. Android by default mounts system partition as read-only on boot. A file manager is responsible to remount the system partition to read-write before performing an operation on the system partition, and i believe this is where the problem occurs - if the files aren't being copied.
If you can copy the folders but unable to delete, this is most likely a permission issue, and the file manager was probably isn't properly using its root rights.
Please respond with your test with Fx or Solid Explorer classic. You may also try Solid Explorer 2.0 if you wish. NOTE: Please enable Full Logging in SuperSU settings. I'd like to see what is going on (you can too).
Also it is worth to know that although root gives you ultimate rights to modify or alter the OS, there are always technical problems which are caused by various reasons. Plus, there are even barriers of which root power can't even do. For an ultra simple comparison, you can't use root to somewhat modify an app's source code live. But of course, root gives much more freedom to do things compared to no root.
ah yes, you were right, it did depend on file manager after all
tho for unknown reasons 5 of 6 all needed supersu acceess and had root capability, but nothing to operate
I finally found (blue) root explorer, and this one can do it all, sorry for opening this thread
I jumped bit late with whole android thing

CarPlay retrofit smartbox query

I’ve installed a retrofit smartbox in my Mercedes C Class,
I am told it’s Android, I want to change the car icon to a Mercedes icon. The seller is not very helpful with this idea, but I have an update file for the box which seems to be an Android Rom of some kind. I was thinking of trying to unpack the Rom and if the icon is there trying to change it to the Mercedes one and repack the Rom. Anybody with more knowledge than me know how to go about this ? The other option was trying to mount the box as a drive on a pc or Mac and trying to locate the icon through that way. However the box has a USB socket and that would mean using USB male to male cable. Would this cause an issue with the 5 volts going from box to laptop and vice versa ?
Can anyone help with this lot ?
Thanks.
Further to my last the update file is .img file extension which I have unpacked with imgunpacker successfully. I am left with a series of .fex files, the main file being 8mb (the whole file is approx 9mb). This fex file is named melis100.fex
The fex files extracted are in a folder named Beetles. There are a couple more folders one is efex folder. The other is named iso. There is a img.cfg file and a text file with basepath as the title.
Not sure what to do with these files now !!
