Help file transfer on Android 10

Tell me how to do.
You bet! :)

First, you need a good file manager on Android; my hands-down favorite is MiXplorer Silver. Please see this post and thread for more info, including pics of MiXplorer giving me access to my computers.

Your computer(s) and Android device(s) must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Your computer(s) must be networked, i.e., their drive(s) must be shared. I only use Linux so someone else will have to step in if you're in need of help with that.

That's it! You're good to go. As you'll see in my pics, my computers' drives are available to me in my file manager just as if they were local. Also, some file managers give you a completely separate way of transferring files; in this case, they're more like Airdroid, using a web browser on the computer to connect to the FM on Android. I never use that method as it's unnecessary for me, but if you have problems networking your computer(s), this would be a viable alternative.

Trichrome alert

I don't really trust them. I don't use chrome, either. What's really bothering me about this phone is its inability to transfer any files to sd. I have tried moving images, videos, downloads, etc. I have looked under all the possible categories. I posted screenshots which I hope will show the problem. Maybe I'll just have to call Samsung and/or Sandisk.

Help Installing Android on empty phone

@ocnbrze
I got an Coolpad Porto S (E570). Yes it's a china phone^^

Okay the situation just changed. I tried installing android again but this time I skipped the Wifi part. Therefore (i assume) it didn't try to install google play services and actually gave me a home screen (previously it failed to install google play services and didn't boot therefore).

Now the play store still doesn't work but at least I can activate developer mode. I'll try installing another android version on it. I will post here further updates.

Thanks for the help so far!

Help Moto G4 Play, no longer has calls after carrier switch

I've done the reset through "back and reset" and through the recovery mode. Since I've done the recovery 6-7 times I feel a bit of fatique so have only put google login and MinMobile back on the phone. I get email notifications but looks like I no longer get text.

Now I'm just wondering how I can move forward. I'm hoping to recover my phone number to maybe a flip phone? Without my phone I'm being locked out of Microsoft. Will this nightmare stop.

How move smses,contacts,WhatsApp and other?

WhatsApp isn't saved on the server, but it does a nightly backup and can be set to do a scheduled backup to Drive if you want. If you copy the WhatsApp folders to your new phone you should just be able to restore them there, or there's a way of restoring from the Drive backup.

It may be that some phone transfer apps will handle this for you as well. I did all of this 3 years ago but can't remember which method I used.

Please provide the path to the Android SDK

HI, I'm started to use Android Studio but when I executed Android it sent me the alert:
Please provide the path to the Android SDK.

So I had been to analize the problem, I found the next:
  • The Android Studio's path is c:\Archivos de programa\Android\Android Studio
  • #Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the
# header note.
sdk.dir=C\:\\Android

But the Android path is C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio, it's Ilogic becuase the Android sdk is C\:\\Android

Please help me.
