How to get a file from scoped storage to shared space when nothing else works

[Nathan Waldren]

This works for current version 5.x.x only; the "Scoped Storage Manager" option does exist in earlier versions but I haven't been able to get it to work this way.

1: Start by being connected via JMT to a Javad receiver that has .jps files on it. I am using T2's but just got a T3NR and am pretty sure it works the same.

2: Navigate to the “Setup” page and tap “Utilities”

3: Tap “Receiver Files”; select and download files.

4: Back out of "Receiver Files", return to "Setup" screen. Tap "Settings".

5: Tap “Data Location” and hit “OK” to accept warning, then mid-screen, in green, tap “Scoped Storage Manager”

6: Navigate to downloaded files in the list on the left under “Scoped”; default is /javad/jobs/job_name/logfiles

7: Navigate to target destination in the list on the right under “Shared”, then
select files from list on left; arrow above will change from greyed-out to active

8: Finally, tap arrow to move files from scoped storage to shared. Files are now visible to other apps in /javad/jobs/jobname/logfiles.

I hope this helps somebody. This one took me awhile to figure out.

I don’t quite understand the “scoped storage” when I updated to JMT 5.xxx I had issues and Java’s techs suggested I remove the app and reinstall. When I did that I lost most of my current jobs. I suspect it may have something to do with the scoped storage? Is there any way you know of to recover these jobs? Running andriod 13 on a Samsung active 3 tab.

If you want to remove a current JMT Installation and then re-install, backup all existing JMT data before doing so, otherwise when uninstalling the application, all data will also be removed (by the Android OS).

To install JMT see recommendation in Post #1 here to install JMT to Internal Storage . . .
