Sony Bridge for Mac

Hi there, I have a Sony Arc S, and the Sony Bridge for Mac ( the software to transfer files between phone and computer ) can't see the Loopstack folder, so I can't export the files...anyone having this issue by any chance? Thanks :-)

thanks, that gave me the idea

thanks, that gave me the idea to use a file management app, and share the files via bluetooth or mail. Best solution so far :-)

On some newer android devices

On some newer android devices, new files don't always appear right away. You can try running an app called "scan media", that one works on my phone.

Yeah,

Yeah,

I found this out the hard way after much hell. There is a MediaScanner class in the Android SDK that a lot of developers don't use when they create new files in the public folders. If they don't do this, the media database doesn't get updated and the device won't think there is anything new.

The android filesystem is virtual, meaning you think you are looking at a real Linux file system but you aren't, your looking at a database representation of that system. If devs don't implement their applications correct, turning off the device and rebooting forces the media cache to be "rescanned" or rebuilt.
