Cannot find or create WhereYouGo Folder

[windsbraut]

Hi,

I have a Sony Ericson XPeria Ray using Android 4 "Ice Cream Sandwich". When I am trying to copy the downloaded files from my PC to my phone, I cannot find a "whereyougo" folder. Search function of Windows doesn't find the folder, too, even if "Show hidden folders" is enabled.

 

If I try to create a folder named "whereyougo" on my SD-Card, the system refuses to accept the name. It simply returns to the previous name (Like "New Folder") after pressing "Enter". Folders with different names can be created without problems.

 

What did I do wrong? Does anybody know this problem?

 

Thank you,

As much as I love Android, it does funny things on different devices when trying to explore the file structure, while within Android. One phone manufacturer's file explorer may only show certain folders, while another explorer may call the phone's memory "SD-Card", and another file explorer may call it "Phone" or SD-Card-0" etc... It can be frustrating until you find out how your particular phone folders are labeled. To compound the issue, it sounds like Windows is also not showing you all of your folders or files.

 

I've had this same sort of problem on different devices and have solved it by downloading a file manager app for my phone. Two that I like a lot are Astro file Manager and ES File Explorer. I bet if you used one of those to drill down to the base level of your phone you'll find the "WhereYouGo" folder. Then it's just a matter of moving the cartridge to your device and copying it to the right folder.

 

Hope that works.

Yes! Thank you! With the ES explorer it took me only a second to find the folder and copy the cartridges there.

Thanks a lot!!!
