Hello,
my device is Samsung Galaxy S 2 with latest firmware.
Using Locus Pro, when track recording is stopped, my track is exported and its properties displayed automatically. The KML file is in proper location (sdcard)/Locus/export as I can see it from file manager in phone. But when I connect the phone to my computer and navigate to that folder, the file is not there. I have to restart my phone and then the file appears.
I guess the MTP system in android is so stupid it does not monitor the filesystem at all and needs some way of notification that a file has been created so it is made visible via USB connection. I know that the pictures of built-in camera appear instantly. But that is just my guess as I have no knowledge of android development. Can you pls investigate to see if you can make the kml file of exported track appear when connecting via USB without restarting entire phone? Thanks.

This is not really "Locus" specific

Im using a synctool and dropbox for this job (Dropsync):
Coming home and my device sync with dropbox automaticly - all exported tracks and pictures.

For all other filetransferes, i'm using a Datamanager(PC Total Commander) and a WiFi ftp server solution (FTPServer) on the SGS2

I never connecting my mobile with USB...

Well, yeah, that's how you use it. But I like to have it always connected to PC for charging - when leaving home it is always fully charged (and my PC is on nevertheless) so I am not using the charger at all.

I am not using Total Commander, just ordinary Windows Explorer. The phone appears in My Computer and I can browse it there 8-)

Hi Peter, thanks for this hint. Though the plug-in doesn't yet fully work with all features of TotalCommander, it makes my life easier!
