Did a search, so sorry if I missed it. But, a couple of questions.
1) If you have root, is it possible to download and save PDF and Word files that come in on POP3 (or even gmail) email?
2) Otherwise, does anyone know the phone folder where these files are temporarily store while on the phone, and can they be accessed that way?
I spend a lot of time overseas, and going back and forth to the web to retrieve is a pain and expensive. Thanks
Forget it, I solved the issue.
Informing use how you solved the issue might help others
I'd be really interested in how you managed this, I've searched here, and Googled everywhere (almost). But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

lol...gotta love these types of posts right?
I'm able to save attachments like this using k-9 mail., for those interested
Sorry to go AWOL -- had to leave the country for a bit. My apologies.
Yeah, I also "solved" it by using K9. But, I find the program very buggie.
On a larger, related question, how does the Android platform make its file associations? In other words, when I receive an email attachment (with the stock app), it will allow me to download and save that attachment to my SD card only if there is an onboard, associated program. I can download .jpg, because Android has an application built in that will read a jpg. So, if I want to download a .doc file, I can't unless there is an appropriate app onboard. (Although k9 seems to have found a way). Where, in the Android platform, is this association made? And, is it possible (with a rooted phone) to somehow manipulate those associations to allow downloading of ANY (or a chosen few) files?
For instance, I find that if I change the file extension on a Word doc (for example) from "doc" to "jpg", my onboard email will allow me to download and save to SD card. So, it obviously CAN do it, what's stopping it?
Again, sorry for "skipping out" in the midst of a thread.
Download Crutch Lite in the market allows you to download any file by making Android believe it can open any filetype.
Theres a app called download crutch on the market that allows downloading of files that may not have associated applications. Not exactly sure what file types it supports but its worth a shot.
EDIT: Fushichou got it before me but heres a link to Cyrket http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=download+crutch
Thanks, but my experience is that Crutch will not work on email attachments. It seems to be an internet based device. I used it for a while. Partially, this is a kind of tech question -- how are the files associated?
Newbie question here, but anyone know if a separate app is needed to open pwi files? If so what is it? I've got notes from my old phone that I'd like to transfer over....thanks!!!
I'm in the same boat baileyjs. I've tried a few different "note" programs but I haven't found one that works. If anyone else knows...the answer would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PWI? Pocket word? What if you rename them to .doc?
I'm pretty positive you can open a pocket word file with standard word on the desktop, so should be able to with quickoffice or whatever on the phone provided it has the right extension?
Hey guys,
Pretty new to the forums (in the way of posting). Do a lot of reading/learning.
But haven't found an answer for this one yet.
I'm looking for an app that will grant me remote access to folders/messages on my phone via internet/pc. I'm familiar with dropbox, but i have to manually drop certain files into my dropbox folder to view them. I'm looking for complete folder access not just specific files that I have to "drop".
Can anyone give me any insight to this?
Thanks in advance,
T.J.
Hello, some of you may noticed it. There is a new section in Samsung's file manager software. It's a list of all accessed files "timeline"
How can I disable that? Or at least delete it contents from time to time?
Thanks in advance
Additional information. I guess this only applies to Samsung Galaxy Tab's.
I've got here a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7°
Didn't find anything helpful via Google, so maybe someone here knows about it and can help me/us to disable it (my device isn't rooted if that is important to know)
Regards
Meh
No idea. When I delete all cache files from 'my files', 'gallery' and 'media storage' it also clear temporary this Timeline. But it will only last a few moments.
Any additional ideas where to look at are very welcome
facing the same problem here
cant find any way to disable this new crap function
Hey
A while ago, the touchscreen on my phone broke and i figured I'd buy a new phone.
Now I had/have these important notes on my broken phone and I'd like to retrieve them.
So I tried snooping through the directory via my computer, but I can only find a .png file from my notes and a .html file that just opens chrome. Now for short notes the .png file would be enough but the note I'm trying to retrieve is quite long and the file doesn't capture it fully by far.
The notes are made on an HTC One X+ with the built in HTC notes app. I tried the HTC sync manager but that only works for putting files on the phone not retrieving them.
I hope someone can help me.
Regards
Jrois
