Copying files - File manager can't write to SD Card
Hello
OK I know that for some of you this is probably a tired old subject, however for me this is new since my Samsung S3 only upgraded to 4.4.4 a few days ago.
To cut a long story short, I've read about the security reasons for this 'feature', I've been through the incandescent rage phase, and finished throwing knives at effigies of the f***tards at Google who have decided what I'm 'allowed' to do with my phone. I've now calmed down and just want a pragmatic solution to the following simple question...
HOW DO I COPY MP3 FILES TO MY PHONE???
I've read earlier threads on this and other forums and tried to take on board the advice, the thrust of which seems to be...
1. Root your phone and ES file explorer, Astra etc. should work OK. To this end I've attempted to use Towelroot and Framaroot, both of which apps told me that they were not compatible with my phone.
2. Create a folder owned by ES or another file manager such as /Android/data/com.estrongs.android.pop and copy music files into that folder. That would actually work for me if I knew how to create a folder on the SD storage media. The only method I know is using file managers such as ES etc. which of course generates the same error with file permissions which started this issue.
I'm going around in circles, please help me someone!
