Sound mapping problem - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

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.

Blank SD card... again.

Hi!
I've got a big problem and the thing is I don't know if that's with my phone or SD card.
To begin with, I have class 4 EMTEC SD Card (4 GB). I bought it about 3 days ago so it's quite new. My rom is Mik-os' CM7 and the problem is that every single time I copy something to or from that card and something bad happens (e.g. my PC loses connection with phone when copying files, or I tap "Turn off USB connection" on my phone too early) it results in "Blank SD Card" error and I must partition card every single time it happens. As you know, it can be quite frustrating, as I have most of my apps on SD card.
From my description, you may think that this is clearly my SD card's fault. But, the same thing happened earlier with my 2 GB SD card that came with my phone. I couldn't delete nor save anything on it using android's USB function, I had to do everything using recovery menu. And my my ROM that time was LOL 1.4.2.
So, my question is - is that my phone's fault or it's rather my SD card?
Also I have one bonus question - is there any way to backup apps installed on SD card? (But I'm not talking about TitaniumBackup, what I mean is if I can copy any folder to the computer, and when the "Blank SD card" error appears, just paste it to SD card and have all apps again.)

Well I have this problem with Void.Forever ROM. Do not format it, just reboot your phone after this issue
Well, I tried rebooting, I tried to remove and insert the SD card again, but it didn't help and I always end up getting "Blank SD Card".
Its a bad sdcard. I had this problem on stock froyo too. Please replace your sdcard.

The card that comes with the phone is pure junk, so the experience with that is irrelevant. Other than that, use USB card reader in PC. If it is dead, just RMA it.
As for the backup - the apps are in .android_secure folder. Nowever, this is not really a solution, you would have to backup the entire SD card, lots of other application data are scattered across all different directories on SD. Worse yet, if you backup the phone via recovery, it gets lost.
try using panasonic sd formatter and format ur sdcard create ext partition if u have atleast class 4 orelse dont and see if the prob persist

SD card issues

HI all
I was wondeing if you can help.
Today, all of a sudden my SD card has stopped working. It has been in use I had music and photos on it. But this morning after being charged last night it seems to have stopped working all togherther.
I have the SD card logo on my notifications bar.
It says 'Bland Card'. I have tried to mount the card in options but it isn't working. NOTHING has changed on my phone at all that i'm aware of.
The phone sometimes said that it was 'preparing the SD card' on the notifications bar but usually works after that but now not so much.
I dont know anything about routed or anything its just out of the box for me lol.
any help to get this working again is much appreciated.
***EDIT***
Also, my phone picks up my songs on the SD card in the music player but it isn't showing photos in the gallery or even regestering that there is an SD card in the phone???
Remove SD card and connect via card reader to a PC and try to recover any wanted data using RECUVA or a similar tool .
Then format sd card as FAT 32 in Windows and try .

[Q] ICS Ringtone reverts to default after unmount of internal "sd"

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

Problems with SD card

Howdy,
I had an sd card working fine in the Swift 2 but it suddenly stopped working and couldn't be read by a PC either. I have therefore bought a new one but I can't get it working right in the Swift.
The phone recognises when I put the card in so it's not broken. I can format it okay and I can tell Android to use it as External (for storing photos or music) or as Internal (for apps etc) but whatever I do it does not seem to work. I cannot download any large apps as I get a message asking me insert an sd card and if I try to use the camera or gallery I get a similar message "No external storage available".
Looking in the settings for Storage & USB I can see Android clearly recognises the card but no apps will use it. Is there another step to the set up I'm missing or something?
Thanks for your help.
Craig
