TyTN, WMP problems

Randomely, my TyTN will no longer add mp3s on my microSD card to the library. it will search for files, find them, and then freeze while adding to library. also i can no longer sync mp3s to the microSD using WMP on my PC. any solutions?

Hi There,
I have the same problem. The only solution seems to be to delete the MSMETADATA folder from the storage card and add the tracks again. I can't find any other way of fixing it.
Hope this helps

that worked, thanks for the quick response! so this may happen again? odd glitch if you ask me...

Yip, This seems to be the standard way of dealing with this at present. For those that need a little more info:
Use native file explorer set it to show all files (hidden files) or use other file explorer to view hidden files,
Browse storage, delete hidden folder MSMETADATA,.
Update Library in WMP

I've used that fix a number of times but now it doesn't work...
I've now flashed a new Rom Schaps 4.3 and formatted my SD Card. Still no luck!!!! Argggghhhh....
The card shows up in the camera app as well as file explorer, however both media players don't recognise it.....
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.....
Thanks

Did the problem occur immediately after flashing the Schaps Rom?
If it did then you may get more help asking in the Schaps 4.3 thread as it may be a Schaps registry setting or a change being loaded by a program in that ROM.

Ok....just sorted it out.....But to answer your question, it happened before I loaded Schap's 4.3, I was using TNT....Now...here's how it was sorted.
Normally I don't sync with Windows Media Player, I just copy the files over onto the SD card using a USB adapter (which incidentally sometimes screws up my media player and that's when I delete METADATA, but it's far quicker than copying through the phone)...The problem fixed itself when I ticked the button to sync media player...it rewrote another METADATA and I can now see the card once more......
Have a great day

unable to run HTC hot fixes (.exe won't run)

Hi everyone
*
I just recently bought an HD2 and already seem to be having problems with my storage card. It is 2GB and is already full (I only added about 5 pics and 2 mp3 files! I have all the default progs and stuff that comes on it after buying it new. I decided to update the phone with HTC's various 'updates' (hot fixes), one of which addresses the storage card problem. I followed their online instructions but it fails every time to run the .exe
*
Steps taken:
- Downloaded the 'storage card' update from their website to my PC
- Sync'd the phone to the PC and put the downloaded .exe file into 'My Device>My Documents>Personal'. Don't ask my why I put it their. I didn't really know where was best.
- Unplugged the phone from the PC and searched for the file using the 'file explorer'
- Tapped the .exe
*
Unfortunately I can't remember what the reason was for it not running but it was something to do with not being compatible with my device
*
Reasons?
Before trying to run the hot fixes, I had already updated the ROM. The ROM that I used is the latest one on HTC's website. Should I have run the hot fixes first?
Any ideas?

Please don't start 2 threads for exactly the same thing. It's annoying. Please go to the mod requests thread in the general forum and ask for this thread to be deleted. Discussion has already started on the original thread (and quite possibly answered.)

Please don't post on this thread

Sorry about that. Browser went into never-ending loading so I clicked back and did it again some time later. Obviously nobody really intends to do it and yes I find it annoying too.
Will get it deleted - thanks

Thanks man

hello!
when i got my storage card there was about 350 mb of manuals and other stuff on it that you dont need at all.. best thing is to format the card so you loose all that crap the way to do this is is just insert the card in your computer and right click on it in explorer and choose format.
or buy a new card, i have 8GB and that is also verry fast full. especially if you want an application like TomTom
you should run the .exe files on your computer with the HD2 connected through activesync that should work
good luck i hope i helped you

I can only guess you've never installed any hotfixes mate
You run them on the device, not your PC.

Music player keeps stopping

Just today i went to listen to some music and after a few seconds the music just stops, initially i thought it was because i had it on shuffle once or something but i didn't change any settings at all, everything looks to be ok and everything else is working as normal, the only thing i can think of is that i downloaded MemMaid quick clean but i didnt delete anything i shouldn't so cant think why this is happeening as it was working ok yesterday!
My phone was flashed with Laurentius Ultimate Power WWE ROM and is stable..
Anyone any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use MemMaid, so the problem must be somwhere else.
I use Miri Xtralight ROM.

I had that problem a while back. A hard reset sorted it out, i think it was something i installed..not sure what

Soloution !!
I had the same problem and I contact the them and here what they said , and worked :
If you are facing problems with your audio player, I may suggest that you do a hard reset and and then install the update. Please backup your information before doing a hard reset as this will delete all personal data. Also please try the following suggestions regarding how the music is stored on your SD card. Please try this option – Make sure that all the mp3/songs on your device are in one folder and this folder should be placed on the ‘root’ of the SD card(so when you double click or tap on the SD card you should be able to see the Music folder straight away). You may more than one folder on the sd card say Music1, Music2… and each folder not exceeding 200 mp3/songs. Also please download the User guide if you haven’t already done so for your device from the HTC website for some useful information. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC

[Q] weird dissapearing act

This is strange, I have a file that keeps dissapearing! I keep a .pls file for one of my local radio stations in a "My Documents" folder on my storage card. I usually tap the file and it opens in TCPMP and streams the station. Or I can open TCPMP and browse to the file. Every so often, the file will be missing. The first time it happened I thought I had deleted it accidentally, but it has happened several times now. I can't seem to trace it to anything i'm doing like soft resets or program installs. I just recently upgraded to the latest Energy ROM but I always take my cards out before I flash and it was there when I checked afterward. Sometimes TCPMP will crash when i try to play it but the file will still be there. All other files in that folder stay in place. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that.

Did you try to search for the file while connected to your Windows PC?

good idea! did that just now, but it didn't find it...

Make sure you change the view option on your computer to show hidden files. File's just don't disappear. If it really is, then that's weird and I would love to know what it causing it as well.

Just make sure you're connected via active sync and not disc drive mode when you go search for it that way. Also, just to be certain....you're sure you're looking in the My Documents folder on the SD card, and not the one on the phone, correct?

could it be that the my docs folder is being synced, but only in one direction, so the file on the phone is being deleted because it isn't in my docs on the pc?
just a thought.
maybe store it somewhere else for a while, see if it continues to vanish.

Check, all my computers are set to show hidden files, and I agree files usually don't disappear.

check and double check. I actually did it both ways, I connected as a drive and through active sync just to be sure.

I think you might be on to something...gonna put the file back and sync with both pc's I use and see if It does it. But....I have other files in that same folder some of which are recent and they are not going anywhere...

sync'd with both pc's one windows 7 and the other XP, and did soft reset....file is still there....will update when/if it happens again...

ok, happened again. Noticed it this morning. Can't search right now but will later. The only big change I've made recently is adding android to the root of the SD card, not sure how/if that could affect a file in a sub folder. I have not sync'd since i last noticed the file there. I have not installed or uninstalled any apps (aside from android) since i last noticed it. I have not deleted any files from that folder although i have moved a few. I've been very cautious around that folder. I have also not used TCPMP since I last saw it. I have no clue why this file moves/dissapears but i'm determined to figure it out. any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

I know when it happens
It has to do with Android, I don't know why. It's been a while because I haven't installed an Android build to my SD card in a while. I just noticed both files there yesterday. Last night I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747492 Android build, but couldn't get the internet to work. I then decided to delete only the folders that Android installed after the initial boot. The two .pls files I'm concerned with are located at SDCard\My Documents\file.pls. And the "My documents" folder is otherwise intact. I have not checked exactly where/when in the process the files get deleted/removed and I can still not rule out user error, but I know i did not go into that folder and delete anything when I deleted the Android folders soo....Now that I know it's for sure related to android I can recreate the process and determine at which step the files go away. to be continued...

Did everything over again tonight and, unbelievably, the files disappeared after the first time I ran android. I have no clue how or why but that's exactly what happened. I copied the files back to Storage Card\My Documents\ , plugged in usb and let active sync connect. the files were still there. I then copied over the Android files, and checked again. both files still there. Restarted the device, checked for the files still there. Navigated to the android folder, ran clrcad and haret and android started. Did the initial setup and let android load completely. I then restarted the phone, checked for the files and they were gone . They were the only files gone. Why would android delete those two files??

[Q] Avi files on storage card not visible

Hello Guys,
glad to finally open my first thread Now the problem:
Recently i installed the Nexus Android Build on my HD2/Leo and everything worked fine for the last days. Today, I tried to get an .avi movie running. The problem is, not a single player i tested [all the popular ones] is able to find the files on the sd card. Furthermore, all file managers like astro have the same problem. I can not see any of the avi files i copied onto my sd card. It doesnt matter whether i copy them on the root folder or in a subfolder.
Has anyone an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance for any hint!
Regards, rev.

Have you tried restarting your phone after putting the files on? This sort of thing sometimes happened to me, the files would not appear on the sd card until I rebooted the phone. I think its an issue with some builds.

Hello,
thx for this hint. Now i can at least see the files in the explorer. Unfortunately, i still cant play them. Whichever player (arc, mix, yx, meridian) i chose after tapping on the file i get wn error massage stating that the file can not be played. Any further suggestions?
Thx so far!
