   Me neither.   
      
   I found out why the things I exported by bluetooth moved, on their own.   
   It wasn't on their own.  I have to click bluetooth, Accept a file, for   
   each file expected.  Then when it comes the window changes and lists the   
   file that just came.  At that poin it's in the temp folder.  I can   
   browse to any folder I want or just click Save and it puts it in   
   Documents-something  I had done that for some but not others.  So they   
   were in two places.   
      
   Now I'm trying to take a picture of my passport with the phone and sent   
   that to the PC.  That's even more confusing   Tried Gmail first, and it   
   filled in the From.  I filled in the To: and clicked Send but nothing   
   happened.  Tried again and from then on the From wasn't filled in and I   
   coudl't go there to fill it in   
      
   Tried MyPhoneExplorer which usually works great.  The previous day it   
   labeled 4 pictures of my passport as date TODAY, and I dragged them to   
   the PC file manager.  None of the pictures were good enough for the   
   website so next day I did 4 more.  But though they were in the android   
   phones Gallery, hey were not seen by Myphoneexploer!   
      
   Tried bluetooth and it didn't work either.   
      
   Never did figure it out and got tired and wquit.   
      
   Today I used blutooth and it was fine again, but again the website   
   didn't like my picture.  I may need a bigger white border, or maybe my   
   picture is too dark.  :-(
