I created a folder named "Music" on my SD card, put some mp3's into that folder, plays fine on my HD2, After I restart my phone, all of the mp3's inside the folder are GONE!...
Anyone have the same problem?, Need to be fixed ASAP
I added some mp3 and wave files to my phone to use as ringtones from the sdcard. I later saw the internal memory was lower than I wanted but now I can't seem to find a way to delete them. Anyone know what folder they might be sitting in or a way to delete them. To use them i opened them in the stock media player and from the audio list I clicked on the sound and choose USE AS RINGTONE. I assume it wrote a duplicate file to the phones internal memory as my old phone did. My old phone would not read files residing on the sdcard for ringtones... they had to be internal.
NOTE I just deleted a few of the ringtones I assigned to contacts from the sdcard and now in the contacts profile the ringer id says unknown file. Maybe the optimus doesn't create a new copy on the internal memory and is able to simply use the file residing on the sdcard???
Hi there,
I'm new to android and don't know how things should work normally but I've found a strange behaviour:
1. I've installed Sygic Navigation on my Xperia mini pro. Some folders have automatically been created od memory card during the installation, containing Sygic sound files.
2. A couple of days later I've bought a brand new Sandisk 32GB microSD card.
3. I unmounted the old 2GB card, removed it from the phone, put into the computer's reader and copied its contents (all files, including hidden ones) to a new card.
4. I inserted the new card and mounted it.
5. From this moment on, strange things with sound files began to happen: the phone somehow changed sound mapping of previously selected ringtone, notification and alarm sounds to the Sygic's navigation sounds from the SD card.
6. When it rang or when it received an sms I could hear: "Turn left", "You've arrived" in various languages like Vietnamese, Czech, Spanish!
7. I've been able to set everything back to normal except for the notification tone which stayed the same and played even when I set it to no sound!
8. As I couldn't manage with the notification sound I've decided to format my microSD card and after I've done so, the problem disappeared, but...
9. In the phone's memory, there's a folder: /system/media/audio/notifications, containing standard system notification sounds. When I try to play these when the SD card is inserted, all I can hear are Sygic's sounds (!). When I remove SD card from the phone and try to play these files I get the "Can't play the file" message.
10. Now, who can explain it to me? How the sounds from /system/media/audio/ are dependent on the SD card?

Try repairing your phone firmware via Update Service or PC Companion.
Backup your data first, as all of it will be lost.
i have alcatel scribe easy run original room without root android 4.1.2
i have a problem in setting mp3 as a ringtone that when i restart the device it return to the default ringtone that is only when i insert the external sd card when i restart the device the mp3 disappear from setting ringtones list and show only the default ringtones but when i remove the sd card the problem gone and every thing is ok after restart and restart but when i put the sd card again it come gain the same problem i tried every thing from using app like mp3cut zedge and also tried t put the mp3 on the phone storage ringtone folder and on sd card on ringtone or even media-ringtone or audio folder still the same i think it's a problem in setting the default storage when it have no sd card it's no problem but when i put the sd card it become the default storage even if i set the default storage to phone after restarting it become again sd card is the default storage any help and sorry for my bad english
I have ICS 4.0.4 and the mp3 i have set as a ringtone is stored in /sdcard/Ringtones folder. /sdcard/ is the default internal memory that is shown as sdcard. My phone is lenovo A660. Whenever the phone is connected to the pc and i use the memory as an external card (thus unmounting it from my phone and mounting it to pc) the ringtone reverts back to default.
On a rooted phone a solution would be to save the ringtone in the internal memory (the one not partitioned as an external) but there must be another way (for non-rooted phones). I cant believe that ics is build on the idea that everytime you want to move files from your phone you have to reapply the ringtone settings.
I have searched some threads mentioning the same problem but i didnt find a non-root solution
