Question Copy mp3 or other music files to Pixel Watch - Google Pixel Watch

I am hoping someone has a simple method or maybe a link to a youtube video that shows how to copy/move files to the Pixel Watch from either a Win10 computer or a Pixel 6 Pro phone.
Similarly, a way to possibly copy text or jpg images to the watch if there is a way to display them from some ascii text reader app or image display app. I sometimes like to have a simple note about how to do something on my portable device.
I see a thread on using some "nav-xxx" but since it is not available in the PlayStore, I don't see how to get it on the watch in the first place. I also saw a thread on some other method but when I fired it up - I was lost!!!! I have dealt with computers for eons so should be able to manage but those same eons may have resulted in my gray matter is stretched thin.
Thanks in advance.

You can do it via adb commands. But I'm not sure how to play MP3s on the watch.

I'm using an app called wear media music player (by qubin apps) that transfers mp3, m4a files and works as a player as well. It's not free, but it works well enough.

Going to investigate the app. Thanks for the reply.

One more app to recommend, along the same lines .. it's called myWear File Explorer .. let's you transfer, move, delete files on the watch.

I was wondering if there were any kind of File Explorer? I'm always curious about what is lurking in the folders of MY (meaning, don't keep me out) devices.

@Rp2pilot
They both seem to work. I'm not sure that the quality of the audio (Mendelssohn's Scottish) is all that terrific on the watch but it is there!!!
I also transferred two photos to the watch. They wound up in the topmost folder/directory. I was able to copy/move them to the Pictures folder. Now, viewing them is like using a microscope to view. Slide the view field around to see the entire photo.
But THANKS for the references.
Edited to add:
Okay, I am amazed (easily impressed, perhaps). I copied an ascii text file, a spreadsheet and a pdf to the watch. The text file just opened and I could read it, It looks as if I could also edit it. The excel spreadsheet (no app to open prompts). The pdf file opened as pdf could not be navigated. But it also offered text view and I was able to read it. Now, obviously the screen a(watchface) is a bit constrained but... Still impressed.

How do you open those files? I mean, is there a file browser out there?

I think there may be some inherent file browser that can handle opening some file types. But the there is the app "myWear File Explorer" that I used to navigate to the text and jpg files. If I can manage a screen capture, I will post an image or two. Admittedly, the results may not be completely practical on the small watch face but it can be done in some cases.
Two jpgs of a jpg file I transferred to the watch. Same image scrolled to reveal different sections.

Screen capture of a text file I transferred to the watch. The watch or the inherent app actually "word wrapped" the plain text file.
I tried opening an xl spreadsheet. But it can't do it.
A view of a pdf file I transferred.

Hi,
Try to use the app called
nav music
OK for me

i used wear media music player (pro version) for many time, for me it is a better !

UDATED 07/03/2009: Media Center for Windows Mobile

Hi all!
We created a cool new app and hope you will enjoy it too.
The app's name is "Mobile Media Center".
You can use it to listen to music, watch pictures, play videos and keep up with RSS feeds/podcasts/vodcasts, all on your Windows Mobile device.
It can be controlled by the touch of your finger. Actually is was created because we missed a good looking media player that can be used while driving a car.
To get an impression of Mobile Media Center, please take a look at the screenshots below.
More information can be found here: http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl
The Start page:

}
The Music page:
The Pictures page:
The video player page:
Oh, did I mention it's available for free?!
Update 07/03/2009:
Today we released version 1.0.2.
It appeared we made an error in the setup package: a file, that is required for bluetooth control of the player (AVRCP support), was not included in the setup...
This error was repaired in version 1.0.2.
Update 07/01/2009:
Today we released version 1.0.1, which includes most of the remarks made so far:
On the RSS page a button "Read all" was added. When this button is pressed, all items in the RSS feed will be marked as "read".
When changing the settings, the keyboard (input panel) will now appear whenever you have to enter text.
The Videos page will now show 3GP and 3G2 files as well.
congrats on your release!
Thanks for this will test when i have the new ROM.
I have only one Question, what file format the Video player play ?
Waseb
Mobile Media Center can play all formats that Windows Media Player can play (it actually uses Windows Media Player for the playback)
it looks and works fantastic! i had to right click on the download. left click did not work. thanks for the app!!!
Does not show .3g2 videos taken by the camera on my Omnia i910. WMP does play these videos.
Some other issues I see.
Small graphics glitch where the timer is. Landscape album cover needs to be moved.
Feature request:
Allow people to create new skins in an easy manner.
great soft
You're not far from perfection
Keep going !
Impressive! Thanks!
great software..
but I think that you should use bigger buttons....IMHO they are too small and too near each other to call this application really finger frindly....
Perhaps you could introduce an option to set a bigger button look ...
On My Omnia (WQVGA) They are too small ... at least They shoul be twice to be used while driving a car
Its definitely a great app, its just the buttons are a little small as stated above and also its a bit choppy.. but regardless, Good Work! keep it up xD
Feed Back
Just installed on my Omnia.
I like it but:
The 2 buttons are a little small.
When trying to add RSS feed, the soft keyboard doesn't pop. Impossible to add anything.
It needs a option to load a OPML file.
Also needs a way to mark a feed as read. I have the same problem with Kinoma. There is no way to mark a whole feed as read so next time you come back, you have no way of knowing if there are new posts. As far as I know that makes it useless as a RSS reader.
My music library is stored in an 'Artist' folder then subfolders for 'Album'. There is a folder.jpg in the album folder but not in the 'Artist' folder. So the main 'My Music' page doesn't show any images until I open the 'Artist' folder and then I can see each albums and their covers. Other players just ignore the 'Artist' folder and show the 'Albums'.
It's a great start for a first release though.
Don't take too long before you release a fix for those problems though. We have short attention spans here.

How do you go about installing the app? I went to the site. http://mobilemediacenter.oabsoftware.nl/
when I click the download link, I get a frame loading with a bunch of code. Am I supposed to save the frame as something.cab?
Wow! Nice work!
The idea is great and the realization is good too!
Of course it need some new implementation and improvements...
I think it's important have more compatibilities with video's standard and more fluidity when scrolling pages (for example album page!), bigger buttons it's a good idea too!
Also I'm sure everybody here are happy for this relase, my compliments
Please so, relase new versions often!
Thanks!

Ihaaaaaaa..finally update
2008 looks pretty ugly compared to wm6.5 stock one..
Any screens?
Here's a screenshot :

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Quite the same layout, but I think it's smoother than the older one.
Too bad GUI is same..problem is that icons(folders) are too big..I really love the size of menus/files/filders in stock wm6.5 fexplore!
This is made for WM 6.1, on 6.5 half bottom bar is hidden by the shorcut (I never use it, so I remove it via options).
Very fast and smooth, opening Windows folder is faster (not a lot, but ...)
Same UI...bleh...lost a bit of intrest, but il try it anyways.
I would assume that all previous skins should work with this new version? Also, when I install it says resco Explorer 2008, not 2010(beta). Just hope I got the right version. I was wondering when there would be some updates to it, I use 2008 version exclusively and love it.

I noticed that the version number is wrong too, but it's 2010 beta. Make sure it has the new features like sending pics to social sites, and the thumbnails view, etc.
cant send multiple files in email
Anyone else have this issue? I have this issue in the old version as well as this beta. If I select several image files and then send to email nothing happens, if I send one file it opens the mail client with the file attached and everything as it should be.
Also in the photo viewer, the old version same issue with multiple files, but on the beta version of the new photo viewer selecting multiple files and sending them via email works
they still haven't fix the UI position for WM6.5.
No but you can install "PositionFix" that does the trick. Its a shame they haven't really updated much. Being Optimistic, at least I didn't have to buy new versions for 2 years.
I'm really surprised we haven't seen hardly any activity over at Resco with their Explorer app in years. 2008 is still pretty buggy and far from perfect. Perhaps all the hype about Microsoft Phone's finally having a Marketplace app to get the word out to those who otherwise probably wouldn't have found/downloaded it.
What is "position fix"?

It REALLY depends. I bought it because of the interface. I currently don't use any more functionality in it (although I could I guess) than I did in the stock explorer. I bought it because the stock buttons were too small on my Diamond 2's little screen and resco explorer was super easy to use because of it's large interface.
I recommend a scaling slider for users. That way on my D2 I could make it bigger and on my HD I could make it a little smaller and show more information. Cheers Resco!

I'm having issues with scrolling by name.
In folders with lots of files, such as /windows I get a messed up scroll list down the right hand side, it goes numerically then A C H then numbers again.
Does anyone know how to make this the default explorer? When I first downloaded this to my phone it became the default and something happened and now it isn't. Thanks for help.
Blue tool file transfer
Did anyone try out the blue tooth file transfer on a Touch Pro2 ?
I recall that resco explorer 2008 had problems detecting the blue tooth device on the touch pro 2.
I downloaded the 2010 version of Resco Explorer, tried to open it, and got an error message saying not a valid pocket PC app. Any way to make it work? Release date is 2010.

Lol, you probably downloaded the .exe file which you need to run on your PC, while having an activesync connection with your phone. You can also download .cab files which you can run on your phone to install.
BTW, the final version of Resco Explorer 2010 is also available, download the trial from Resco: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/

[REQ] App to select media to hide from gallery

I was looking for an application that lets me select which folders on my SD card not to scan for media content, or better said not to scan for either music, video or picture content. Googling around I found that "Media Hidden" (formerly Gallery Enabler) does exactly this, but it has been removed from market and the developers blog is gone.
I know about the trick with the .nomedia file, but if I put this in my music folder to hide albumart from my picturebrowser it works, but then the music files don't get scanned either....
Doe anyone know about an alternative app? Or a method to define what sort of content a folder doesn't need to get scanned for?

I use an application called Pandora...
Thanks, tried it and it seems to work ok, however this is file based and I would like to do this folder based and per media type.. I saw a screenshot of media hidden and it looked like you could tick music, video and picture individually per folder location.

Thanks, but a lot of these apps are meant to hide "questionable" content, whereas I am just looking for an app that offers the functionality without having to launch an app that is disquised as a flashlight and have to tap the menu button 3 times before magically the app appears...
Hmmm I think I am going to try Hide It Pro... it is also password protected which I don't need, but it adds an option to the default "share" menu in the gallery to hide whatever you selected.
Um you probably want to create a (.nomedia) file in the specific folder that you want hidden from gallery etc. that's how android handles this type of thing internally?!
Have you read my first post? That is not what I am looking for....

Your original objection was to album art in the music folders, but that should be fixed by renaming those jpegs. So why does the .nomedia method not work for your other folders (you only mentioned pictures in the application folders)? Are there music/video in those application folders you want in the gallery, but not the pictures? Might be easier to just copy those files to their respective media files and then stick a .nomedia in the folder...
And as far as I remember, the Media Hidden app you mention didn't actually allow you to chose whether or not to exclude either pictures, music, or video from a directory. It was all or nothing. In fact, I think it simply added a .nomedia to the selected directory for you.
Call me lazy, but I don't want to mess with nomedia files or having to change my jpeg filenames...
I just want to be able to tell that all images in my music folder, regardless of coverart filetypes or names should be hidden in picture gallery.
From what I can tell Media hidden could do just this judging the screenshot!

Gotcha. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Media Hidden was just an easy way to create .nomedia files. I believe the "icons" in the screenshot are really a single icon that replaces the standard checkbox (that is why for each directory, all three appear to be selected or not).
I'm not sure of any app that will do what you are asking or if there is an easy way to do what you are asking. Some file managers make it simple to create the .nomedia file like Media Hidden did (OI File Manager comes to mind---just navigate to the directory and choose to exclude from media scan). Otherwise, you might be able to use Tasker to script something up (like upon the starting of the Gallery app, copy a .nomedia file to the appropriate directories, delete it on exit).
Another option would be to use embedded cover art if your music files support it (like mp3s) and erase the jpgs completely. Also, album art can be named folder.jpg and not show up in gallery.
Hi and thanks for your reply... looking at the screenshot again I guess you are right.
I think I will have to settle with one of the alternatives you suggest.
Thanks for the feedback!

Build.prop my friend
Hi!
So glad my first post will actually be a helpful one but I've looked into this also - Thanks so much for the confirmation that photoshop is working on HOX! that's awesome!
The play store will apparently (I may only be 95% correct here) check your /system/build.prop file for things such as build, OS version, LCD Density etc. Google insist that this is "So that developers can make apps more suited to our devices" but more often, it STOPS you from downloading an app which will work fine on your device! (eg. photoshop on the HOX!)
So the key is, you need to edit /system/build.prop - there's NO one-click-build.prop which will allow every app to work, it's just not possible, so what i tend to do is find out what the app requires if I can, and then change my build.prop to suit JUST THAT APP that i'm trying to get at the time...
I'm thinking we need to change it to be similar to a transformer tab in order to work in this case...
BE WARNED THOUGH - BUILD.PROP IS A SYSTEM FILE AND IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT OR HAVE IT 100% CORRECT YOU MAY DAMAGE OR BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
So - don't just BLINDLY follow my pointers here, they're just pointers to help you find the right direction
nice work

Adobe Photoshop Touch APK for Android

Pixel 3 created automatically 300 folders with pictures

Hey, today my Pixel 3 XL arrived and i moved from iPhone to the Pixel.
I had like 1300 pictures from my iPhone on my computer, then I moved the pictures via FileManager to my Pixel.
And the Pixel automatically created like 300 or more folders with about 2 pictures each in it.
Is there any easy way I get all the pictures out of the folders? I don't need folders in my libary, I just want all pictures side by side and no folders.
I didn't know that Android creates for every App that edits pictures a new folder.
Hope someone can help, I don't wanna drag each pic out of it's folder

Thanks so muuch.
Yeah, over the past few years, the photo app has been really annoying in the way it structures saved photos. Honestly, the best way to do it is find a new photo album app and use that to look up photos. Even when I get a popup asking me if I want to create a new folder for a picture, I say no, and its still in there with new folder. Then every few weeks I go through deleting stupid folders with 1 picture I didnt want.

But in my head its like, if I use everything from Google, it works the best and the userexperience is better then thirdparty apps.
It's all from one company.
But thats just me and my thinking. :laugh:
Can you recommend a thirdparty App?

First let me say welcome (or welcome back) to Android. I don't know how many GB your pics amount too, but I've had good luck zipping a huge amount of pics into a single zip file, transferring it to my phone and then using a quality file manager (solid explorer / root explorer) to extract. Dunno? maybe it will take splitting the 1300/2 or even 3 files but it can be done. When zipping on your Mac/PC just use "no compression", "wrapper", or "minimal". This results in a fast compression because the pics are already compressed. I'm not an apple guy at all but I can tell you zipping 100's of files is no big deal on a PC, nor extracting them into the DCIM folder on your shiny new Pixel. Unlock your bootloader NOW if you are able, because unlocking it later will wipe all your data including any photos not backed up to the cloud (Photos). I also thought there was a way to transfer from Apple cloud to Google Photos, but again I am not an Apple guy at all. (disclaimer: I just have to buy them for my wife and daughter)

Yeah, over the past few years, the photo app has been really annoying in the way it structures saved photos. Honestly, the best way to do it is find a new photo album app and use that to look up photos. Even when I get a popup asking me if I want to create a new folder for a picture, I say no, and its still in there with new folder. Then every few weeks I go through deleting stupid folders with 1 picture I didnt want.

Wut? My Photos folder has no subfolders all my photos are in there, bro. And Google Photos rocks on many different levels. YMMV?

You know, I guess it depends on what app I am using when trying to look up a photo. You are correct, when just going directly to the photo album app, all my photos are just laid out. It's when I click the "albums" icon that its a complete mess. Also, pretty much every time I open the app, I get multiple notifications for "new folder found". Most of the time those are singular pictures my security system took. Annoyingly, they are all one photo in each "new" folder. So I have to go in and delete each folder individually.

Still having this issue? I can write a script that should be able to automatically move each file to a new single folder.
Probably only 10 lines of code.
I don't think you need root, just let me know and I can try and throw it together.
