Maybe they got duplicated in the ringtone folder? You could try using an app like Rings Extended to browse for others.

goto applications.media storage and clear data then reboot and it clears all duplicates .i also had duplicate pics to

Check your internal SDCard for duplicates and also check /system/media/audio/ folder.

[Q] Calendar Storage crash ICS 4.0.3

I'm not allowed to post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
I'm running Resurrection Remix 9.3 for the past 2 days. 6 hours ago it started crashing. Getting error "unfortunately calendar storage has stopped" after 30 seconds of it being frozen.
Should I reinstall the gapps and gapps fixer zip files in cwm?
Some others have similar problems but with other model phones, and different firmware.

Give me your ROM details.
But before your next post, try the following steps:
- update you whatsapp to latest version
- If problem it's still present, boot to recovery and wipe cache partition.
- If you have root access, you cash also wipe dalvik cache.
- reboot your device and observe if the problem still persists

Try these steps.
- backup your whatsapp chat history
-uninstall whatsapp
-reboot your device
-reinstall whatsapp
-reboot to recovery
-fix permissions (under Advanced)
-reboot device
- open whatsapp (goto OPTIONS - SETTINGS - HELP - SYSTEM STATUS) to confirm if whatsapp is working properly.
Test now if it's working properly.
If it's still not working properly, then you might have to visit your ROM thread and ask if other people are facing similar problem

well that didnt work.
Just used a photo editing software to "auto fix" and saved the pictures and transferred again and its fine
wonder what was wrong with the original files
edit: while the pictures are loading fine. some thumbnails are wrong. sigh (yes i did the media storage data clear and reboot)
gallery on android seems to be the area that gives me the most problems

Option 1.
- use your file manager to browse to DCIM folder then delete the contents of .thumbnail folder. You have to enable hidden folder to see that folder.
- boot to recovery
- wipe cache partition
- reboot phone.
Option 2. (A long lasting solution)
- Download Quickpic from market.
- It's simply better and less troublesome than the Android gallery app.

im going to try option 1
yeah i already have quickpic installed
the thumbnails are fine on it
blah. .thumbnail is already empty
google really needs to work on the their gallery app

Lenovo S750 MTK6589 firmware and troubleshooting

Guys, I do realise Lenovo S750 is a new device, but since it's running on MTK6589 maybe there are any firmwares that can be installed on this device?
I got it with original chineese firmare, and since I managed to install google play store, I'm having some problems with GPS fix, and cannot cope with that. I think it's the firmware problem.
Do you have any info, concerning this model, or a modded firmware that can be used? I assume, the MTK6589 are not all the same, and the firmwares cannot be used as a replacement?
I've tried many times, but fortunatelly I've managed to run GPS also.
As a solution I paste for future how to run google play store and GPS firs for chineese MTK6589 chipset. Maybe someone will need it in the future.
Just one thing - make sure your phone is rotted - I got mine chineese already rooted.
You need a rotted file explored - I use ESfileExplorer - link below.
Download and copy the content of zip archive below. Copy this to either to you SD card, ord phone storage - just to locate it no problem.
Then run ES explorer (or any other), find that archive you copied above, and select all the files within. Copy them into system/app (make sure your root options in setting are all "checked"). Then find theese files in system/app dir (helpfull sorting the files by modification time), and change their atrributes to READ (all three USER/GROUP/OTHER) / WRITE (only to USER), leave everything else blank.
After that restart your phone. Then you should have the google play store available - enjoy
As for GPS fix, after doing the above, turn gps off, run explorer, and go to data/misc dir, find mtkgps file, and delete it, restart the phone. Ensure you wifi or net connection is on. Download Better GPS application, and GPS TEST from play store. Run bettergps - choose your continent and country. Then go to settings/ location access, run GPS there and tap it. Next enable EPO (download latest) and AGPS. Run GPS TEST place the phone either outside under sky, or near the window. It should connect within few seconds. If it does, you can disable AGPS and EPO, also uninstall BetterGPS app. For me, it catches fix in few secs now :laugh:
if any questions feel free to ask - ENJOY!!!

I don't know, what you're talking about, both GMAIL and preinstalled business calendar work no problem..... can you pls explain it?
Gmail works OK (Using GMAIL app) but the native email doesnt work, so other non-gmail accounts don't work - I have Exchange server & Hotmail accounts
The business calendar works but can only do a local (phone only) calendar so the exchange calendar doesnt work.
I use my phone for work and not having a calendar synced with exchange is critical.
Also I need to use other email accounts.

Ok since I don't use anything else except google - I can't veryfy what you're saying.
Maybe you should wait for other firmwares, which surerly will coume out soon
Yes, trying to find alternative. In the meantime, I tried to install GAPPS but didn't manage. I believe my first step is to install a cCWM recovery, but I haven't been able to find anything for this phone.
(Note - coming from Moto Defy; this process was easy - I'd download GAPPS then go into CWM; install ZIP from sdcard and bingo....
The recovery installed only allows updates and clean cache; no way to install a zip.
Any help on this appreciated as otherwise the phone works fine. However until I get mail & calendar working have to remain with my old Defy...

Here's another firmware from etotalk http://ge.tt/62Cz6Jl/v/0 it seems it's working well, calendards and sync are working. Comes rootted already, and with xperia lancher.
You just need to pun in the rom folder another file (which I don't know why is missing) secro.img look below - just paste the file in the unpacked rom folder before you run a flash tool.
Method of instalation, excatly as described in the 4th post from the begining- you just need flashtool and drivers - all explained up
In case of questions, feel free.

Indeed I have phone storage or SD card to choose.
But whatever choice I make, the phone reboot & the SD card seems to be absent when I ask to change location from one or other app installed before.. It changes location from phone storage to internal storage but no sd card..
Quick system info show me that :
SD storage : 2go
Second SD storage : 25go (my external sd card)
Internal storage : 1go
System storage : 640 mo
Cache storage : 250mo
Memory : 1 go
How could I choose the second SD card tho ?

Please Help , Urgent !

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, ROM Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 v5.0.8
That happened to me on SlimKat, and the only way to fix it was full format ( phone and sdcard ), factory reset. Just reinstalling the rom was not helping.
What I think happens is that media scanner get's stuck on some corrupted file and just can't locate the ringtones.
Given all the kitkat related SdCard issues I went back to using 4.3 JB. I'm not saying you should do the same, but if you have a sdcard in the phone and you don't want it crashing every 2 days or so it's something worth considering.

Hello There
OK, i did it all over again.
I have formatted the memory cards, delete all cache and factory default and re-flash the ROM v5.0.8 and same as 5.0.9.
I still have that problem, cannot set notification ringtones.
I think that it is a bug in the ROMs. in v5.0.7, did not had the problem.
is there a way to send the group a system log for they could see and fix the problems?
