Hi experts,
I've got a 2 month old Sensation Z710e running ICS. My problem is that the phone looses my ringtone settings all the time. Every time i reboot the device, every time i connect it too my computers USB and often out of the blue without me doing anything. I'm using mp3 ringtones stored on the sd card. It's not rooted. What's wrong?

Hi,
I am not sure if you can place your mp3 directly inside the system/media/audio folder.
Alternatively,try making your own sound set(long press your homescreen,and go to sound)
When the SD card isn't mounted (ie when you're using the phone as a mass storage device over USB, or when it boots up until the card mounts) the phone can't access the ringtones/notification sounds that are on the SD.
It reverts to default, but when the SD card is available it doesn't revert back to your custom settings.
Very annoying, and it's not just a HTC/ICS issue, there were reports of it under GB, and the Nexus can also suffer from it.
The solution is to move the ringtones onto the internal memory, and you can't do that without rooting.
Well i can't take it anymore, so i can't see any option but to root. Do you have a step by step guide on how to root?

one way to temporarily fix them is to add the ringtone via
settings->sound->phone ringtone->menu soft key->more ringtones->new ringtone
if you add it the above way
you wont lose ringtone when phone reboots
but when the sdcard is taken out/not there the problem will persist

Hi all. I just bought a new 32gb microsd from samsung. My question is:
How would i go about and switch this card with the original? What are the absolutely necessary files or folders that need to be migrated from the old card to the new one? How do i format the new card?
Please be specific in answers coz i have not a lot of experience with android. I come from a touch hd with winmo.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use a card reader.
Place the old card in the PC,open it and press control A,control C,and then control V into a new folder on your PC.
Take the new card ,put it in the PC,right click,format to fat 32.
Open the folder on your PC with all your saved old card stuff,and press control A,control C,and then control V into the new card.
Job done.
Thanks for the prompt response. I was hoping of doing a bit of cleaning and that's why i asked which are the absolutely necessary files and folders coz i have a feeling that the old one is a bit polluted with all kinds of folders which i probably dont use. Thanks again though.

Hi,
I saw someone say that if you just put your own stuff on the card ,Android will place the files it needs on the card as well.
Not tested it,but you could try it first.
Do what I suggested anyway,then try it.
No harm will be done.
Ok. I will try the last suggestion first and will post my findings in a few hours. I am at work now. Greetz

I just switched devices, and simply copied images and a few history files etc onto my pc as described above, reformatted card (hence wiping it) and put in new device. Your Rom will build everything else, then you can copy existing files from pc.
Sensation XE tbc
i did this:
I rebooted in recovery. unmounted the sdcard. took the old one out, put the new one in and formated it in recovery. rebooted phone and voila... card recognized in phone and clean. Android put itself the needed files to it. i just copied later my content into it via phone.
Thanks everybody for your replies.
Problem with upgrade SD Card - lost favorites
I recently upgraded by SD card and did exactly as outlined above. All seems ok except I lost the image album called favorites. I use this album often so this is a pain. Does anyone know what happened or what file needs to be recopied somewhere? My devices is rooted. Also, is there a favorites folder somewhere or is it just a tag? If yes, where is the location?
Thanks
As per the title, files on my sd card are not showing up in media apps such as music and gallery, though they are still present in the sd card.
Not a rom problem as i just wiped and flashed rom again. And .nomedia is not present on my sd card.
Any ideas?
What's happening when you select these files manually with a file explorer and choose to open with music player (or gallery)?
Maybe the player does recognize them if you do so

Happened to me the other day... Fixed by going to applications - manage applications- media storage. if you clear data and reboot the phone it should re build the media library!

it could be an ics related problem. But I tested both CM9 and Quattro in the last days and had no problems with my media files..

Hello wonderful developers,
Here I am again with a neat problem that I haven't had before.
I like to flash. I'm one of the guys that actually likes flashing new roms enough to restore all apps one-by-one using TB. But today, something went Quietly Wrong. Well, flashing went just like usual, but now my phone can't find any media (Music, images, videos...) at all.
When I noticed the problem, I immedietly switched to a different rom, but the problem still persisted.
The weird thing is; I can still browse and launch my media using a file browser.
And what's a problem-thread without some specs:
System information:
Name: HTC Sensation Z710e (Pyramid, S-OFF)
Root: Superuser
Recovery: ClockworkMod Touch Recovery
Processor: Normal clock speed, see kernel
Kernel: Stock HTC Pyramid kernel with normal clock-speed
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.3
Android-version: 4.0.3
I just noticed it started finding one song: The Pretender by the Foo Fighters. Altough I love that song, I would like to have some variation.
Ah, I made some calculations:
Every two days, one song gets added. My entire music collection contains 764 files.
764*2=1528 days. That makes 4.1 years.
I probably have a new phone by that day...
I'm sorry for bothering you, but can somebody please look into this?
Do you have a sd card reader? If so perhaps you can first check to see if your files are all there and available. Just a idea. If you don't have one you can get one for under 5 dollars. That's a handy thing to have. You just pop out the sd card put in reader and put reader in computer. You can then move files , add them or delete if necessary. I often use my reader, comes in really handy in deleting pg58img files too . This is what I would try. This way you can see exactly what is on the card. It's just a thought... Hope this helps in some way. Best wishes and I hope you get this issue resolved soon . Good luck to you.

The problem is there on all roms I've tried. Removing the cache didn't do the trick.
Have this issued too, can someone help.
I also have the same issue when flashing JB roms. Try transferring all your important files to your PC. Flash the SD card. Perform a wipe. Then transfer the files again to your SD card. It works all the time for me!
Ho had the same problem but you can try to unmount and mount again your micro sd, or you can try changing folder where did you put the files

Delete .nomedia files present in the sdcard.. You can do a simple search for this in es file explorer... First enable hidden files in es file explorer--settings then go back to root of sdcard and search for the file... You might some multiples of this file... Delete all of them and reboot and see

backup all your stuff from sdcard to the pc
then from recovery it has an option to format the sdcard or see also from settings if you can format it from there
otherwise if you have a card reader put it there
and format it via pc

hey buddy, i think this mate does not know how to enter recovery mode according to his question about formatting it.
see pal, plug the memory stick to ur computer then copy everything in it to ur compuer (i mean whatever u need) then right-click on your memory card's drive, then tap "format" then click "start" on the newly opened window and wait til it gets finished. then put ur stuffs in the drive again plus the mhsics u want. then put the card back into ur cell phone and wait til the phone prepares the sd card.
i recommend u to shut down ur phone then turn it on again.
hope i helped.

Hey! Just to be sure. Which musicplayer do you use? If you use Google Play Music, I've had the same problem! I do not know how to fix it, but I just moved to another music player (Sony Walkman, which is tons better!). But if that doesn't help, try to remove every music file from your "Music" folder and add them again! The last thing I would do, is to re-format the SD-card! That would probably solve some other SD-card problems too, if you have!
Hope this gave you some information
Thanks Guys!
Ill try what you told me soon and will update you!
I've got the same problem as you guys... Did you clear the cache of your phone? Because it's deleting all songs in "Music" if they are not in an other folder...

Try to reboot your device
Try to reboot your device and see what happens. I encounter the same problem and decided to reboot. Doing that solves my problem. :angel:
No matter what i do nothing fixes this ****ty problem. So i just formatted everything including sdcard and reinstalled rom.
I have a similar problem, the photos that I upload to outlook, facebook.... now appears duplicated in gallery, when physically not.
I've tried clean /cache, dalvik cache, re-mount sdcard, reboot phone.. but these methods has no effect
I'll try to make a backup of dcim photos in another folder, reboot, then put again the photos.
PD: also I tried to delete the famous .nomedia file, but I don't founded it!
