Hi All,
Had a Galaxy S4 forever, but it died a few days ago and I've picked an S8. Nice phone, bright screen, faster than the S4 and I don't have SSL issues with the browsers.
I was running ES FIle Explorer Remote Manager and an FTP client on my Win7 computer (Wise FTP-6). It was easy to transfer files from one to the other in either direction.
So I have ES on my new S8 and the Remote manager isn't even listed in the menu. So I found the APK file that I was using in my S4 and installed it into the S8, it installed without issues, version 4.1.7.1.16 (market).
Now that I had the identical file on the S8 as I had on my S4 I figured I had it beat. But it still doesn't show up in the menu. Having the S4 and S8 side by side and doing the same thing it is clearly missing from the menu.
Anyone know why this is? Is there some sort of permissions I need to turn on in the S8 to let this function work?
Thanks
OK, looks like I figured it out. They moved it to a new menu and renamed it to View on PC. It doesn't have the same functionality of the one on the S4. It's missing the ability to rename it from Anonymous and no way to add a password. It has the button to make a shortcut, but it doesn't work. It lists the client name as Anonymous with a capital A but it's really anonymous with a small "a"
But I've got it to work so I can transfer my files back and forth again with ease.
Thank goodness.

I've just gotten my GG and so far have been happy with it. I have read this entire forum at least twice now just to find those fun little tricks and tips that XDA is famous for.
In all of my reading though I have found people use wondershare to transfer .apks to their gear and it seems to me that it is a little less work to use apkshare.
What I've done so far (without issue) is to use apkshare and just to share the .apk via Bluetooth to my gear. It is fast and doesn't require having anything other than a file explorer (comes with null ROM) installed on your gear.
This is really neither here nor their as one method that works is just as good as any other that works. I just felt like sharing my own method.

I just use my favorite file explorer on my phone : ES Explorer
select the APK, long press the file, click on SHARE, select BT and then the Gear.....easy peasy

Hey xda! So I just got a tv in my bedroom, so I decided I wanted to put htc's tv app back onto the phone. I had made a nandroid backup, so I was taking the apks from there. I got the app to launch, but everytime I hit the IR remote button at the top, it FC's. Also, upon launch it gives me the follow error:
"Some data downloaded from the internet was invalid. Please exit the TV application and try again."
Maybe I missed a file or something. Can anyone think of something I may have missed? I maily want to use this for the remote app. I just like the way the GUI works. Tried the peel app, and I know its almost identical, but I guess I'm just stubborn
I am running Insertcoin Kitkat 4.4.2 r253 with sense 5.5. Again, chalk it up to stubbornness, but I just like the old sense better.
EDIT: I managed to get the app running properly. it seems that for some reason the apk's had to be placed under priv-app for whatever reason. I configured the remote, and it works great for both my TV and dvd player.
One small annoyance though is that while using the my phone to control my dvd player to select a video file from the connected usb, I can only scroll up or down the list one file. if I want to pick a file 2 positions down the list, I have to push another button first, then the down button again. Can anyone think of a reason this would happen?
If no one can solve this, I could lean to live with it, and just rename whatever file I want to watch so its at the top
Hi all,
So this has been bugging me for a while and I can't seem to find much info on it on the net regarding our Galaxy Tab S2's. In all their wisdom Samsung removed the ability to open a file/link etc with a app just once, instead when you choose a app to open a file with it will automatically set that app as the default. Really annoying when you open certain files with multiple apps (eg links, media files etc). Only way to chose another app to open with is reset the apps defaults, which is tedious and extremely annoying. I've tried 'better open with' but that doesn't work for all media types (links from Chrome is one type that comes to mind).
So does anyone know how to reenable this basic functionality that has been present in Android for a very long time? Hell, currently it's worse than idevices
(On a side note, when I first used this device I thought to myself 'wow, Samsung hasn't butchered the Android interface this time'. How wrong I was... Why Samsung, why!?!?! You've removed functionality with zero benefit!)
I've searched but only find old references that don't seem to fit. Samsung Smart Switch brings over voicemail on Verizon but apparently not on Sprint Note 8. I'm coming off of an S4 and can't find a way to bring those voicemail messages to the Note 8. Does anyone know of a method that works?
What worked for me was downloading the APK for the same version of voicemail that is on the Note 8. You can find it here: https://android-apk.org/com.coremobility.app.vnotes/28825488-coremobility-vnotes/.
Once downloaded and installed on the old device (S4 in my case) you need to move all email you wish to save/ move to the Archive folder.
You may be able to just copy/ paste the ARM files but I copied the entire directory from the S4 to the Note 8.
From Windows Explorer I opened up both the Note 8 and the S4. Make sure you have a list of ARM files in the S4 directory labeled: Computer\XXXXXXXXXX (SPH-L720)\Phone\smvvm. If it appears you have a number of ARM files corresponding to the voicemails you archived you should be set.
I copied the smvvm folder and then pasted in the root folder of the Note 8. Took a little time to populate/ refresh. You may need to close out the voicemail app on the Note 8 and then reopen. Once the voicemails appear in the archive on the Note 8 you can move back to inbox, etc.
Hope this helps.
Hi XDA!
I am a recent convert to Android from many years of iPhone usage. I made the plunge by investing in what like among the best if not the best Android phone available, the Note 8. So far I am a very happy camper!
That is until today. This is my fault and not the phones fault however. I forgot the password to the phone which I had written down IN THE PHONE ITSELF (facepalm). I actually bought a notebook to write the password down in last night for this very reason. Lovely coincident happened: My phone discharged during the night so now I need the password to get in. To my question of the day then:
How would i go about opening an .SNM file on a PC?
I have such a file stored in a backup of the phone: C:\Users\**\Documents\samsung\SmartSwitch\backup\SM-N950F\SM-N950F_\SM-N950F_20171104133032\SamsungNotes\SamsungNote.snm.
I am assuming this file contains the notes. Stupidly the passwords were jotted down with the (wonderful) S-Pen so I cannot simply go through it with a hex editor/text editor and look for my files. I need a proper extraction tool/process of some kind to get the images/notes out.
All i have found on the internet refers to opening the (older?) .SNB files which apparently are simply .zip-archives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated indeed!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Andreas
Hi again!
Just wanted to share an update incase anyone else is googling after getting themselves into a similar situation or for any other reason need to open their samsung notes files.
What I ended up doing was restoring my backup using Smart Switch to another device I have access to. An S7 to be more precise. One problem that bogged me down however was that the Samsung Notes app on the S7 did not properly load or even recognize the notes it received from the backup, the notes originally made on the note 8. It turns out this was because the note 8 for some reason receives a newer version of samsung notes (2.XX instead of 1.4).
After fiddling around with the backup settings in the .xml files i managed to get it working by sideloading the newer version of Samsung Notes downloaded as an APK and installing that. Then the S7 would load the notes and I could access the info I needed
Silly me for getting into the issue but I am happy I managed to fix it!
