Weird thing I've noticed: I've been using the Erebos theme, flashing it over both Axura and Bionix. After flashing (so, with a fresh system), I've copied a few mp3 files from my system to my phone. I've played them via the music player, and then I've set them for my notifications (a song for my ringtone, a sound effect for my SMS. Both as mp3 sounds).
After a day or so, though, my system stops recognizing them as valid audio files. First, the ringtone defaults to silent because it's set to the MP3 but the system no longer recognizes the file. After I've noticed that, I've gone into the music player, which informs me that it no longer recognizes the file.
After some troubleshooting, it appears that setting the phone to silent is what has caused it. I've done that via the dropdown menu the lock screen. The system seems to re-recognize the files after a reboot, but not after simply going from silent to not-silent.
Anyone else ever heard of this? Is there any work around? The idea of rebooting my phone after I put it on silent is kind of irritating...
Never had this issue, and I've gone through this same process before. Has it only occured on new ROMs? (If they're not already) have you tried placing on your internal SD card?
If placing on your internal SD card, it may be a problem with your external SD.

Those are the only two roms I've used. Might have to try a third, I guess. I've actually not been using an external SD lately. Not even a card in the slot. Maybe I should try one in there, see if that fixes it.

Tried using a 16gb sd card today, but didn't notice a difference. Any guidance? Change roms? Different kernel?
Oddly enough, I have had the same issue, and I'm really glad you posted this thread, as my troubleshooting didn't get as far as isolating to putting my phone on silent. I will definitely try to leave it off of silent for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
I had this problem with KB5 released by Samsung, then had the same problem using Trigger, which is built off of KB5. It's possible that it is a bug in KB5, but obviously, not many people seem to be hitting it, so who knows...
Edit - just noticed that you had the same problems with Bionix and Axura, which I don't think are KB5, so there goes my theory...
I am also having the same exact problem. I am using bionix 1.3.2. I have Odin'd back to stock and re-installed but that didn't solve my problem. I believe this also causes other functions to stop working, like you tube. Therefore, many people have this same problem but have been putting it under many topics. Does anyone know a solution to this?

I would hardly say it HAS to be hardware. It could be any range of other software related things, such as settings we use or apps we have installed.
Here are the things that make it seem NOT hardware related-
-Rebooting fixes it. That doesn't eliminate hardware, but it's evidence against it.
-It seems to impact local audio files whether they are system sounds, or MP3s stored on any on-board storage, which doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
-It also impacts streamed audio, since when I'm in the bug state, it impacts amazon cloud player, pandora AND youtube.
I would say it's possibly hardware in that "anything's possible" sort of way, but I think it's more likely to be software. That is not to say it's the particular ROMs or kernels we're running - more likely the way we have some settings set or apps configured, etc.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer help with this. I've had my Atrix since launch and there's been about 4 times now (all seemingly after i've hooked the phone to computer with either phone portal, windows sync, or mass storage) where the assigned ringtones for contacts and even my regular ringtone has been changed or reassigned to some random song from my library. I don't know if there's something to hooking it up and it messes with the memory that juggles the ringtones/songs or what. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, has it been addressed/fixed? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
I have the exact same issue and have been posting about it on the Motorola forum as well. Over there the Motorola folks ask you questions and try to get a fix out to everyone, so please check it out if you haven't already.
My issue has happened a lot morethan yours it seems, however, I use extra batteries, so the phone reboots more often.
This is what I posted over there a little while ago:
Internal phone storage keeps disappearing
The "Disappearing ringtones" discussion was closed and merged with this one, but my issue is not the same as the internal memory being wiped.
My files are still on the card and internal memory, but the contacts, alarms, messaging, calendar, etc apps can't remember the tones I set.
I have copied the files to the following locations with the same issue recurring:
/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/system/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard-ext/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard-ext/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
Even after moving them with RootExporer to the "non-mountable" storage (/system) they are still reassigning and setting to "unknown".
Possibly related issue. The playlists I create with MixZing, winAmp, and astro are empty are the phone reboots.
Occasionally I get the "no files" error when I check the mounted card in file manager, but if I manualy unmount and remount the card, they are still there.
I keep missing calls, texts and having my alarms "silent". This is getting frustrating. I bought the Atrix on launch day so I need to exchange NOW if that is what is needed.
Other than the above and the losing data connection issue, I LOVE THIS PHONE
Yeah, i've placed my ringtones (all .m4a format) on both the internal/external memory slots and for some reason, when it gets hooked up i'm in the same boat you are...very frustrating i've missed calls and messages as well. surprising that no one from Moto has a resolution for it...
I've run into the same problem, and was planning on moving 'em into the /system/media folder...but it sounds like that won't fix it. Drats.
I've had this issue as well. The random song problem seems to only affect contacts I have set up with a custom tone. No telling what song/sound will play for which contact. Otherwise it has simply changed my default ringtone to a particular mp3 that then becomes the default tone. Really weird.
I do still have the issue with the files in the /system folder, but much less. So I would try them there to lessen the problem. Westill need a complete fix though.
This issue is still a problem. There are even some apps that can't see the files on the internal card or external card. Even after the OTA update this problem is driving me crazy.
I think you dont hear about this issue more because some people dont connect there phone to the computer or remove the battery often. It seems to be a problem with reading the info off the card when it is remounted. On my captivate when I remounted the card it would always scan the card. This phone doesn't.
Any ideas.
Yeah I had this problem too. Was the only thing, and I mean the only thing I didn't like about this phone. I found the only way to fix it is to root the phone and move your personal ringtones to the '/system/media/audio/ringtones' folder using Root Explorer (you can buy it oin the market. Great app BTW). This solved all my problems. I know it's not "right" but it works great. Now I have zero problems with this phone.

Ive mounted to the computer often, resboot every day, pull battery every now and then.. I dont have this problem. Ever try Ringdroid?
Hello, I was hoping someone could help me fix this:
For some time I have had this issue that every time my phone locks up while taking photos or video (I often switch camera apps multiple times when taking photos) my phone reboots and no longer will scan the media card (well, I should be precise and say that a notification briefly pops up that it is scanning but it does not completely scan). It's odd because I have no problem connecting by usb, unmounting and remounting the card (I've tried this over-and-over yet when it is remounted it will still not scan), and I can open a file manager and navigate through my files and even move them but it will not let me open anything for instance music or photos (which made me question if the permissions had been changed but everything is still fully readable/writable). In the past it has fixed it by restoring from a backup (sometimes of which I have had to do several times) but this time I deleted all but one recent backup and it is not fixing the problem this time... I feel I have exhausted my options but would definetely like to avoid a total data wipe (I do have recent Titanium Backups done on all my apps and data but I would also like to avoid having to use the time to restore them and all my settings, etc. back to exactly how I had my phone configured). Also, I would appreciate a solution that does not involve hours and hours of reconfiguration and loading as I am consistently using my camera apps all the time and I am really really getting sick of rebooting, restoring, ect. over and over.
I am running MIUIwiz with ED01, OTB v1.6 and CWM 3.x although I dont think this issue necessarily has anything to do with any of these because I had the same problem on stock froyo anyway.. (if anything might it be a kernel issue?)
Thank you in advance for any input!
gOofeye
any ideas?
Almost sound like the SD card is corrupt but you said you can access it and move items.
If it was me, I would back it up and try a restore.
I have found on several occasions that the music on the "internal" drive is suddenly completely missing. Cannot explain it; obviously, can't "pull" the internal card, haven't flashed anything recently.
Anyone with a clue why this happens. I have had images periodically vanish from my EXTERNAL sdcard, too, but this seems to accompany pulling the card.
I've been switching batteries and I'm starting to wonder whether part of the internal RAM is not genuinely nonvolatile or something.
UPDATE: I believe I have figured this out, it's related to flashing a new recovery. See post #13 below.
Are you not seeing it in your music player library? Any chance you changed a setting for where it looks to see the music? I don't mean to insult you , I just ask because there was an issue before of dupes showing up in the music library and it was happening because of those settings.

I likewise would have asked that question first (Occam's razor and all that). No, I don't see it on mount to PC or in my file explorer (and I see everything else on the drive.) It's as if something went in there and wiped the directory.

some PB98IMG.zip files will erase internal memory in install.
Are you just doing a battery pull or are you actually shutting the phone down before swapping batteries? I've had hard times with SD Cards(and flash memory in general) without shutting down the phone first. I know it's an extra few seconds but it may save your information.

Good point. I'm pretty sure I haven't pulled the battery ever when the device is on (except when completely crashed, which hasn't happened in a long time). I never used to pull the battery with the power on EXCEPT that once in a great while the phone boots normally when I was trying to get it to go to bootloader and I pull it as soon as I see the splash screen. I cannot tie any data loss to doing that (this stuff vanished after I flashed a new ROM with the 4-in-1 power menu enabling reboot to bootloader, obviating the need for a battery pull altogether; and I haven't had any crashes on the new ROM/kernel, and besides, all this stuff was there after the flashing).
Do you think in that moment internal memory would be affected in such a selective way?

What he said. Installing a new kernel will cause the internal sd card to get erased, so if you are installing a ROM that requires a new kernel, that would explain the vanishing trick you are seeing.

I haven't installed a kernel yet that touched the internal sd card. And I'm on ICS right now which requires a kernel install...
Yeah, the music was there *after* I flashed my ROM and my kernel. And I always remove the .zip file so that the bootloader doesn't actually try to re-run it. The one thing I have noticed since before I rooted is that occasionally after any battery removal, something comes off the internal (and sometimes the external) memory. The only things that typically disappear though is music and/or photos, i.e. media.
I just can't figure that part out.

Nope. I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to connect to PC. I actually have a spare 32gb card and a spare 16gb card and every Monday I use MS Synctoy to copy my external memory and internal memory to hard drive, thence to the external backup cards (I know, it's belt and suspenders, but it also means I never lose anything ever).
The only commonality I can come up with is the battery. Saturday I tried out my 2750 mAmp battery and kept the device off charger all day, then Sunday I switched back to my stock battery. Monday the music was there, at some point yesterday it simply wasn't (and I hadn't touched the battery).
Have had these type of issues since I got the phone. Can't quite put my finger on the cause, but since I back everything up, and since otherwise I love the thing, I'm just trying to find a pattern.
I had the exact same problem, one day, none of my music was there anymore. I finally rebooted and it was all back.

I believe I have figured it out.....when I update my recovery (as I have done every time drelisdee improves RA Vigor) it happens. I just happened to read on another thread about the CWM recovery update for the Rezound that running the PB98IMG wipes the internal memory (as somebody above in this thread suggested).
It's possible flashing kernels this way does, but clearly flashing a new recovery will mess with the internal drive.
Good to know.
Thanks everyone for helping to solve this.
By any chance did you use the make more space option in the storage card settings? Using that option support erase cache,but on the stock rom it end up erasing my pictures and music.

BINGO! Yup, I just happened to do that, thinking it would only clear cache, and that was shortly before I discovered the missing music. I am running the stock ROM, only it's deodexed so I can put mods into it. That must be the explanation.
Hey guys, I've been having a maddening problem with music stored on my external SD card and hopefully someone can help figure this out:
I'm running AOKP, and have all of my music stored on a 16GB external SD card. The problem I've been having is that whenever I open up the phone (generally to switch SIM cards as I'm living overseas and use several different cell companies) the media storage gets all messed up.
I used to be using Google Play Music, and whenever I'd do a SIM swap I could no longer play music. I'd get an error saying "could not play the requested track" on all of my music files.
Figuring GPM just sucks, I switched to WinAmp. Well, the same thing kinda happens. Now, when I do a SIM swap, all of my music tracks get listed twice. One version of the track won't play, the other one will.
Basically what it seems like is that every time I change the SIM card, the media scanner is re-running. Except that it doesn't realize that the files haven't changed, so it re-indexes everything. But this causes music apps to go haywire.
I used to do a data wipe on the Media Storage app, which would clear everything out on Google Play Music (haven't done it yet when using WinAmp). But eventually the problem would crop up again.
To be clear, I recently did a full wipe and installed a fresh version of AOKP. Unfortunately after swapping SIM cards just once the problem reappeared, and TBH I shouldn't have to do a clear data on Media Storage every time I swap the darn SIM card.
I used the phone overseas about 6 months ago when I was still running stock 2.3.6 from AT&T, and never had issues with media storage. Is this an issue using non-Samsung ROMs, or is it an ICS issue in general, or is something else at work here? It's a bit maddening that something as simple as using my phone to play music has become such an ordeal, and I'd like to find a permanent solution to this without having to constantly do data wipes.
Thanks
Anyone? I realize probably the majority of people here are using their i777 on ATT and probably don't open the phone much, but this is a pretty maddening problem to not be able to store my music on the external SD card without the phone going crazy after every time I open it up. I may try going back to a Samsung ROM and see if it's just an AOSP thing, but I'd really prefer to stay on AOKP if possible...

This probably isn't the solution you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure PowerAmp uses its own media scanner, so that should mitigate the problem. See if that helps. As for listing twice, that's usually because there's a symlink somewhere; for me it's usually /emmc and /mnt/emmc, so it's listing twice.
Thanks for the tip, if I decide to stick with AOKP I'll probably give PowerAmp a try I'm actually wondering if the Samsung music player works the same way and has its own media scanner; that would likely explain why I don't remember ever having a music issue when I was running Samsung-based ROMs.
Regarding the symlinks, how would I know if that's the real issue? I do have both /emmc and /mnt/emmc, and I also have /sdcard/external_sd. How could the problem be fixed if that's what's going on?

Just a few points, I'm on AOKP and always stored music on the external uSD card and I never have any problem with any sort of players such Apollo, MortPlayer, VLC, GMP, ..... Am I a lucky one? Could be.
Honestly, I've seen this kind of reports already, in this room, maybe in the AOKP thread, can't remember on which page but you search from there. I'm sure there should be the answer.
I don't know about other TW-based ROMs behavior. If you don't get any feedback from users, you can always install one and try it out and see what happens.
Okay, so after a bit of searching I'm (maybe) convinced that it's a symlink issue. My hope is that the problem was that I still had /sdcard/external_sd from running Samsung-based ROMs, and that the media scanner was getting confused between that and /emmc.
Still have one question, however - there are two versions each of the sdcard and emmc folders:
/emmc
/mnt/emmc
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
Should each folder exist twice? If not, which ones shouldn't be there, and are they safe to delete? I've tried figuring out what the default mount points are for AOKP, but some people say /emmc and some say /mnt/emmc.
I've deleted /sdcard/external_sd so I'm going to try putting my card back in and seeing if there are still problems. But in the meantime, knowing if both versions of the emmc and sdcard folders should be there would be great

Yes, that's what a symlink is; both paths are the same thing.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I understand that both folders link to the same place; the question is, are both of the folders necessary? In other words, if /mnt/emmc is deleted, will the external SD card still be able to be read from /emmc (or vice versa)? Or will it make things go haywire?
My hope is that the duplicate music files I was seeing in WinAmp were because /emmc and /sdcard/external_sd were both on the phone. But if that isn't the case, and even after deleting external_sd I'm still getting duplicates and music playing isn't working properly, then I'd think the only remaining issue is because the phone has both /emmc and /mnt/emmc and the media scanner is seeing them as separate entities.
So yeah, mostly I just want to know if AOKP needs both /emmc and /mnt/emmc to function properly, or if only one of those folders is needed.
I'd be inclined to think they are both required.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue after moving my music over from internal storage to a external card. On rocket player the files would be listed twice just like what op stated and using Google play they would not be able to play in the player even if they are playable from directly opening them in astro. While my phone is the skyrocket i727, the issue is exactly the same on aokp milestone 6. I tried reformatting the card then putting back on the music yet to no avail. I'm hoping someone would know what the problem is.

I am having the same issue...
Finally able to fix this problem. Googled a bit more to find solution. Harder to find than expected but anyways this is how I did it.
Went into
setting --> apps ---> all ---> media storage
And cleared data
After I cleared data of both the music player apps I used, play music and rocket player. Somehow on milestone 6, media scanner is very stubborn and refuses to run many times even with the download of media scanner apps and restarts of the phone. Somehow I managed to get media scanner to run and finally I see my files in play music. I click on a file to ru and it starts playing. Very relieved to say the least.
Media scanner apps used were both SD rescan and rescan media. Don't know which one did the trick.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I've searched but nobody seems to have my particular problem. I moved a bunch of Apps via App2Sd from my Phone to my SD card, thinking it would help eliminate the "Insufficient storage device" error that kept popping up. It did the trick, but my phone became insanely slow as a response...and it periodically reboots every 1-3 minutes. I'm not quite sure what I did - or rather, how exactly moving Apps to my SD card could wrought such havoc on my phone. My phone is not rooted, and I have not made any effort to modify it beyond the normal means. Could anyone assist me? I'd appreciate it.

I have a very vague recollection of the stock recovery but I believe there is a way to wipe CACHE (not DATA) from it. Try that first.
Also, If you're not rooted then that app is not doing anything you can't already do on the stock rom. I would try moving the apps back and then get rid of that app. You can move individual apps through phone settings > applications. That app only moves apps that can already be moved by stock Android.
If all else fails you may be looking at a factory reset. That's the crummy thing about an unrooted phone, if something goes wrong you don't have many options.

I can't specifically remember, but I moved almost everything. It's likely that I moved my launcher, GoLauncher. As for widgets, I only have one widget, BusinessCalendar, and since that doesn't function from the SD card (as far as I know), I left it there.
In the end I removed my SD card and, predictably, the phone worked just fine. I wanted to avoid it, but I guess I'm just gonna mount and clear my SD card.

I moved a bunch of Apps via App2Sd from my Phone to my SD card, thinking it would help eliminate the "Insufficient storage device" error that kept popping up. It did the trick, but my phone became insanely slow as a response...and it periodically reboots every 1-3 minutes. I'm not quite sure what I did - or rather, how exactly moving Apps to my SD card could wrought such havoc on my phone. My phone is not rooted, and I have not made any effort to modify it beyond the normal means. Could anyone assist me? I'd appreciate it.

For some reason it seems not much people know that if all your apps are on your INTERNAL it will be extremely faster. The UI throughout the phone will significantly increase. Guarantee you that.
The phone has to locate read the app from the SD then boot it save data on SD= lag.
As above, and some apps do not play well on the external sd even though they can be put there. I'm pretty sure the launcher should be on the internal sd.
If you really are out of space on the internal, then only move one, or a small number of apps to external, and then only one at a time, to see the effects. Also, choose the ones you use the least.
I'd suggest you move everything back to the internal memory and see if the phone functions normally again. If so, then move apps to external as I mentioned above. If not, you may have to wipe data/factory reset and set everything up all over again.
What ROM are you running? I recommended flashing something light and tight to improve your overall experience. Try Ethereal, or Vagabond for that matter. Light GB ROMs, and super stable.

Try out a few things for a few days, maybe one will offer you what you want?
