Some files lost after download - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Soon after having updated to oreo I started noticing something very odd: upon downloading, certain files cannot be found, or show up in the my files app or fx file manager app with the name, but when trying to access (e.g. open) are followed by an error on the lines of "need to reindex". I do just that, or refresh, or forceably stop one or both file managers, or reboot phone, but the files are eventually gone (not even showing up with the name). Anyone else having experienced this?

Error installing Google Maps

I have the new Touch Diamond with Telus in Canada. I'm trying to install google maps but I keep getting an error. "There is no application associated with gmm. Run the app first, then open this file from within the application." I'm new to mobile devices. I did a google search and a search on this site for the error and I found a response saying, "try installing it with PIE.
What's PIE and does anyone know how to get past this error?
Thanks
PIE is internet explorer.
Sounds like you have got the file but saved it incorrectly. It should be a cab file and it sounds liek you saved it without the file extension.
Open up internet explorer on the device and go to www.google.com/gmm and download the file again.
make sure that the 'Open file after download' box is ticked and it should install fine. if it still doesn't. then i would say you have probably installed something that has screwed up your file associations.

I've installed/reïnstalled a few times, but it isn't working anymore (it was a backup file, but I also reïnstalled from market).
It's really a must have application.
Does anyone else also have problems with this app after installing again? (maybe they are down?)
I use this app, love it, but haven't had problems.
What's not happening, that makes the app not work? Will it load? Will it check their servers? At what point does it not work for you?
Having the same problem

I was having a problem, it wouldn't load, so this is what I did. There is a thread here named (how to filter ads on G1), I followed the link, then copied the host list as txt. file. Then I used Android Commander, if you don't have it get it, I just clicked and dragged to system/etc directory. Then I ran the app, it worked immediately, and even took the ads off of TuneWiki, the adds wouldn't come off before. The file has a long list of host, and you can even edit it to add host that aren't there. Try it see if it works for you
It's working again.

[Q] Downloading images from email issue

When I download images from my gmail account it automatically saves to a folder called "download" and the files are automatically named "downloadfile," "downloadfile-1," "downloadfile-2" and so on. I would then move and rename the images I've downloaded into a different file to be more organized. BUT, when I download a new image from gmail, it appears in my Gallery as the image that was downloaded previously that shared the same "downloadfile" name. When I click on the image, the previous image appears for a second before the current image is shown. When I back out to tile view, the previous image appears again.
I've tried deleting the "download" folder but a new folder gets created when I download an new image and I still experience the same issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix?
have you tried rebooting the device ?? ... i had a simmilar kind of an issue .. with a file showing up in the gallary when it was suppose not to show up in galary.. but a simple reeboot (switching off and switching on) got rid of the problem...
Yes, that was the first thing I've did (a few times too). I even took the battery out for good measure but I still have the same problem. :/

LG On-Screen Phone Issue

Hey all,
Loving my nice shiny new O2X but having some problems using the LG On-Screen Phone software, the one that lets you control your phone from your PC. I have it all installed and followed the user guide but when I attempt to connect to the phone after putting the password in (still 0000 as default), I press next to connect and can see that it causes the phone to wake up and a screen icon appear in its notification bar but then I get an error on the software saying "An error occurred while creating the OSP window after downloading the skin file from the mobile phone" this messages times out then it shows "Failed to connect to phone" and I'm back to the password screen.
Obviously some communication must be occurring for the phone to wake up and try to start the appropriate app but it just isn't working.
So far I have tried it with USB debugging on and off and have also tried reinstalling the USB drivers on the PC, no luck.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?
Thanks
Russ
Hmph, tried this on 3 PCs now with the same results
I‘m only able to get it run for once, the other times are having problem like yours.

Slightly better off than me but glad I'm not alone!
I emailed LG support but I got a cut and paste template response telling me how to download the LG Suite in the first place, which I have obviously already done!
Hi, I just tried again now and it worked... here I attached a screen shot..
then after quitting, it's back to normal (i.e. can't connect again!).. it's weird
Hmph, just tried flashing ROM to MCR Fr11 and still have the same issue

Which would suggest that a file isn't being successfully copied to the PC, could someone upload the contents of their "LG OSP\Phone_skin\P990" folder from My Documents?
Thanks
Woohooo got it working!
I had to go to /system/media and copy off the file osp_skin_p990.zip to my PC and extract it to the "LG OSP\Phone_skin\P990" folder in My Documents and then it worked!
So it looks like the program was unable to automatically download and extract this file for some reason, just needed a little manual intervention. Strange that it happened on 3 PCs though, which would suggest that maybe the file is located somewhere unexpected on my handset?
There is another thing that is not really user friendly.
On the connexion Assistant, if the model of the phone is not selected on the bottom right corner combo box, the connexion is not working but the error is not really usefull.
I had to copy the files in "My Documents\LG OSP\Phone_skin\P990" (thank you roakes ) and then had to select the model P990 in the combo box and then it worked.
It is working in USB and Bluetooth
Hello guys!

I have found a way around this.
I own a LGP930 and also got this "skin error" problem. I noticed in the
My Documents\LG OSP\Phone_skin directory, there were other skins already present. Now these are simply image files that will "contour" your phone's screen.
I looked up the images in a folder labeled "720x1280" and they seemed pretty similar. Along with these images there is an xml file that (I am only assuming here) manages the logic of the image names and placement on the display. My folder, labeled "P930" (my phone, in other cases, your own model) was empty .
The solution:
1. Copy the files from the models available that represent the best your phone and paste them into your model's folder. If it does not exist, create it.
2. Rename the xml file to your model's name, in my case it was P930, which is also the folders name (not sure if this is critical, but to be safe just do so).
3. Open the file with notepad (notepad>open or right-click then edit).
you should see these tags:
Code:
<on-screen-phone id="P930" version="2.0">
<model>LG-P930</model>
<name>P930</name>
I renamed all these (there were named "720X1280"). Fill these tags with the model of your phone, again.
4. Run the software. It should now be working. This is all model-specific, so it will be different everytime and if you do not have the exact name it won't load.
5. Optional: Edit the images to whatever you like as long as they have the same name and have fun.
Hope this helps out anyone who will find this topic.
Cheers,

In my case, just delete the folder LG OSP and then run the software again. A new one will be created automatically.
I just got an LG K7 MS330 from metro to upgrade from my LG F6 and I can no longer use On screen phone. I attempted what I interpreted this process to be and had no results. If you know a way please tell me.
The usual "LG Software" option in the connection type menu is not on the newer K7 as it was on the older F6, it only allows Charge only, MTP and PTP.
Please help

[Q] Deleted root folder (/, not /sdcard)

Update 2:
So now I can see most of the files with ES, but OI file manager isn't seeing them. What the heck is going on? Ghost files?
Alright, so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I was having problems with Rdio and wanted to wipe all traces of it from my phone to install an older version. Using ES File Explorer, I searched for all the files related to the app in "/" and once I found them, I foolishly used select all and delete. Problem is, it seems "select all" actually selected all the folders in / and not only those found using the search function.
The odd part is I can see all the folders in / when I use OI file manager (though some are empty, namely /data and /datadata), but not when I use ES.
Does anybody have an idea as to what I can do? Odd thing is the phone is working fine and not all files on it have been deleted (the files inside EFS seem to have been though, but I still have signal). I'm afraid to reboot it since I figure it might become bricked. I've got a recent Nandroid backup which wasn't deleted, so I'll be fine if I can get to recovery, but is there any chance of that not happening?
Anyways, I'm feeling really dumb and stressed out.
Thanks for looking and/or helping!
Cheers!
Update
Making a call seems to have restored the files (.bak and others) in the efs folder and some other files seem to be reappearing. Maybe if I just wait it out all the files will come back from the dead? Files that weren't showing 10 minutes ago are back and are dated earlier than today.
Again, I'm mainly looking to know if I can reboot into recovery (or normally?) without many problems.
Thanks!
