i just installed a rom on my phone, and my ringtones are being listed twice when im browsing ringtones in the sounds&display setting...i tried rebooting but it still shows up twice..is there anyway of fixing this?
Is it possible that you have them in more than one folder? Like /ringtones and /notifications? That would definitely cause it...

Ok i had the same problem. but i had duplacate rintones that came with the phone not the ones i added
look in folder on the sd card /media/ringtone.
once in that folder look and see if there are stock ringtones in that folder if so delete them because the stock ringtones should be in the root of the phone not the sd card
pm me if you need any more help

I am having issues with dd2.7 recognizing my pictures or music files.
root explorer will see them and play them.
it seems that whenever the os is looking for the files they are not in the right place.
it worked fin with the old dc2.08
it works fine with rc0 froyo
i have installed dd2.7/GS/uv then repartitioned the sd put the music files in /sdcard/media/music and it saw them and played them.....until i rebooted then it was back to not seeing them at all.
in fact I cant push any pictures to the sdcard and have them show up in the gallery they do show up if i take the picture with the camera.
i cant get any custom wallpapers to show up either
Do a full wipe, and reflash, but remember to nandroid
i am not a noob....
so yes i have done a full wipe.
i have reformatted my sdcard
i have tried without the GS installed.
logcat shows nothing
Don't know about pics, but I know with froyo I had a music problem. And went through every file with mp3 tagger and made sure there was id tag info for both 1 & 2. Pain in the ass, but it worked

hi, ive got a problem that i cannot seem to sort myself.
ive got custom ringtones stored on my SD card that i have been using for a while.
whenever the phone was connected to my PC, in mass storage mode [beacuse Kies wont work, dont get me started on that!] the rington and message alerts would go to default [a load of beeping] as the SD card could not be accessed, upon unplugging they went back to normal.
a couple of days ago this stopped working, and now i cannot set custom ringtones or message alerts no matter what i try! i have rebooted, uninstalled a load of my latest apps, formatted SD card and still no luck.
the only thing that i have chnaged is that i bought a new SD card [16gb instead of 8], but i have formatted this both in and out of the phone.
can anyone help!!
thanks Matt
You have mounted the card again (sorry if a daft question)?
i have had this happen periodically when the sd card that they are stored on unmounts or something.. bringing up the system to set the ringtone crashes..
the only way i got around it was bringing up the settings changing the notification and voice etc. ringtone to a built in system tone.. then bringing it up again and resetting to the correct ringtone.
if you stop media scanning
or have added the file .nomedia to the folder where your ring tones are located
then the phone will not see the ringtone
you can download the Media Scanner on/off switch to fix that

I did have a .nomedia file in the folder but I cannot download the file to my phone, it says that it cannot complete the download as its a file format that the phone doesn't recognise! ?

install Astro File manager or Attachment to SD plug in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8139934&postcount=56 also works
both of those will let you save files to the phone from the browser/email
Well, its sorted
Got rid of the .nomedia file, opened the filer with the mp3 with '01 file manager' and added it as a ringtone...AND IT WORKED!
However...i downloaded that file from the market and it still wouldn't key met save that file,hmmmm I'll gave to download it on my comp I think.
Thanks for all the help guys, really chuffed now

I have a Samsung Captivate and I accidentally deleted the sd (at least that is what i think it was called) folder. How do I get it back? If I just create a new folder that says 'sd' will it still save things onto my internal sd card?
my /sd/ folder is empty at least looking at it from the OI file manager on the phone
I think mine was as well but I want to put music on my phone and i want it to go on the internal sd. I tried seeing if the files would go directly on the sd so i put a few music files in a folder i created but when i checked my task manager the internal memory storage changed, not the internal sd storage.

It depends what OS you are running.
2.1 used /sdcard for internal and /sdcard/sd for external
2.2 moved these directories under /mnt but left the old directories empty

Does anybody know what to do if the sd folder is deleted?
I noticed I had an 'sd' folder and an 'external_sd' folder. The sd folder was blank, so I deleted it after I viewed it on my pc - there was nothing in it. It didn't seem to be needed. But now I can't view certain files on my phone only. I can view them on my laptop via USB connection using Windows Explorer.
To attempt to find this folder on my phone, that I CAN see on my laptop using Windows Explorer, I created a txt file in that folder (that I can't find on my phone), naming it 'sdmissing.txt'. I searched everywhere on my phone, even from root directory, trying to find this file and couldn't. Yet after connecting to my laptop via USB, I can see it. What can I do??
Thanks in advance for any help!

backup important data and apps with tibu or any other apps in the market and perform factory reset with your phone it should bring you back to where you are.

Turn off and on ur phone to see if it works for you or not. I found that sd is a hidden folder and its blank. When I flash custom roms, I do it without going to stock. But, I do delete Android, data, sd and some other folders, that I know will be automatically created after the reboot/flash. When I go to cwm recovery to install rom from zip, I do see the Android folder and sd folder showing up there. Don't panic. Just do normal shutdown and restart. If that doesn't fix, reflash the custom rom if you are using one.

It seems that some ogg sound files, stored on the sd card, show in the tone selection list and others do not.
does anyone know why this is??
it seems that not all tones are being displayed in the selection lists...
thank you thank you
I'm pretty sure to select a tone it needs to be in system/media/audio/ringtones(or /notifications, or /alarms, or /ui), and not on the SD. I can't remember if it was you trying to convert a wav file to ogg, but if you didn't get it my guess would be that wav is not supported by hero, so the orig file may need to be mp3 or something.
ugh, like i wrote, some are listed, others are not.
android 101: got ringtones, notifications folders on my sd card...the sounds are in there...
thank you

Believe it or not I can read Stop being grumbly, you asked for help, I tried. Let's try this again. Simple question: did you put them into where I said (system/media/audio/ringtones)? Or are they ONLY on your sd, because the system sounds in settings should only pull from system I believe, not sd. I installed about 20mb of ringtones and notifications to my sd, they did not show up, i copied them into system/media, rebooted, they were there. My guess is the ones that "show up" are ones you dl'd from an app like zedge or mabilo, which copy them into the correct directory....
Don't know. I copied everything from the system and moved it to the SD card; saving 2mb.

interesting, well, (OP) maybe try the simple reboot and see if they are there, otherwise try putting them in system and see what happens.
All my ringtones and notifications are in folders on the root of the sd card, in folders named ringtones, notifications. Almost every file shows in the list, even some ogg files but some ogg files are not showing. So the placement of the folders and files on the sd card is not the problem.
Thanks for the input, I'll just convert the ogg files that aren't showing to mp3 files.

seriously, just try to put one into system... (you do have root explorer or some similar file manager, right?) and reboot to see what happens, otherwise, I hope it works for you.
Before I upgraded from a 4.1 to a 4.2 based rom, I copied all my files from my sd card and then flashed the Rom. Then I formatted my phone's storage so I wouldn't have that weird 2 sd card file system going and so that I could see all my old files which I pasted back onto my phone. When I boot into cwm, and want to install a .zip, I see a couple folders such as the cwm folder and venom folder and legacy folder, and I find that my sd cards files are not under root and I have to go to /0. If I go into a file explorer such as we file explorer, I can't see any files under the the place where those several folders are. Any ideas?

Noticing same thing...
I've just been searching these threads for the exact same issue. Wondering if it would be possible to take a nandroid, erase system and everything and either restore or reload my room from scratch to fix this? My phone says it's running low on memory while it still shows almost 10gb free when attached to my computer. I assume this is the problem...

Yeah, ive tried to format my phones internal storage but the problem is still there. Though it does free up a lot of space when I do it. I think it says it is low memory because there are duplicate files of everything on your sd card
