Hey peps,
Sorry to be a pain but i have put NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.6 [Android 2.3.3][Kernel: tytung_r9] on the other day (and loving it but i cant seem to get an mp3 to be used as a notification sound. I can get it to be a ring tone but cant seem to see anywhere to get it as a notification. i know usually there is a my documents folder or music folder on the SD card but i cant see anything like that either.
If anyone else has used this NAND or knows how i can get this sorted then i thank you a million times over as this is one of the best i have used so far (and i actually have working GPS now )
Thx again in advance
Hi,
I think you can make a folder on the root of your SD card and call it NOTIFICATIONS.
Then put whatever you want into it.
Thanks. Ill give it a go

I dont really know where to post this but i figured the general area would be good. So dont get on me about it.. anyways I rooted my mt3g, partitioned my sd card with ubuntu, and installed the G1-DDR-V1.5.5 which is a jac-ski rom? not sure but anyways everything is working fine its working fast, no blurry screen, no errors.
The problem I am having is with the sd card.
1. I cant take the SD card out or my phone freezes. (Im guessin the rom is running off of my sd card?)
2. I put my music and pictures on the sd card but they dont show up in the music or the album app.
3. Now when i take a picture with my camera it saves it in a DCIM folder so I even tried putting all my pictures in that folder since the phones obviously reading that folder but they still dont show up. I dont know what im missing here.
I know its nothing major and the phone is working fine its just annoying me lol so if anyone has had this problem, knows anything about it, or can suggest something it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Henry
Also does anyone know how to enable the landscape keyboard?

2. I put my music and pictures on the sd card but they dont show up in the music or the album app.put your music on the root of your sd not in a folder
3. Now when i take a picture with my camera it saves it in a dcim folder so i even tried putting all my pictures in that folder since the phones obviously reading that folder but they still dont show up. I dont know what im missing here.not sure what to tell you on this one. Kinda hard for me to explain when im not looking at it.

i put my sounds/ringtones in my storage card. it comes up when i change ring types for notifications.
just drag and drop onto your storage card. when i put the sounds/ringtones in a folder they disappeared :/
Hello room, First post and new to modding. I updated my Vibrant(OTA J16) and my Avatar file is now gone. The widget is still there but movie is lost. Also when I'm in a call and recieve a text, the text message ringtone plays in the handset during my coversation very annoying. Did this happened to anyone else, little help please. I'm rooted and running stock Rom.
Well if you lost the file its gone foreva! But you can always reflash stock and start from scratch. Plenty of threads about how to do it.
Having the same problem. Anyone know where the file is physically located?
File is still there. It is the correct 1.4G big. In the past people recommended reseating the micro sd. Will try that next.

Try finding it within the Video Player app. If it's still on the external SD card media scanner would have found it.
I'm having the same issue. It's saying "Avatar.dcf is locked. Do you want to unlock it now?"
I say yes and it does nothing. At first I would be able to play it through the video player ( the shortcut wouldn't work) but I rebooted and now it won't play at all.
Reseating the microSD card doesn't work. Will try to call Tmobile next.
Havent been on android in a long while... and cant remember the process.
BUT how do you change your ringtones to using MP3s. I remember that you are suppose to put it in a certain folder, but which one and where in the directory.
Thanks
they go in:
/sdcard/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/audio/notifications
/sdcard/audio/alarms

the problem is ... theres no sdcard/// well i mean audio subfolder
Yes, there is. The storage partition is mounted as /sdcard. Just create the audio subfolder and throw your mp3s in there.

thanks... I thought I had to put it in the directory with all the original ringtones.
There's a little trick if you use winamp:
when playing the ringtone, set it as ringtone:

Odd ringtone behavior
I've noticed an issue with my custom ringtones: the phone's ringtone resets to a default tone by itself.
I have a few mp3 ringtones and notification tones stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications). I will select the ringtone I want in settings, but after a while the phone reverts back to a default ringtone. When I go back to check my settings, none of the custom ringtones are listed. It's as if the phone doesn't see them on the internal SD card.
Most times, a reboot will clear it up; however, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why my custom ringtone settings are lost.
I'm sure the mp3 files are OK, as I've used them before on a variety of android phones.
Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? Any ideas what might cause this issue?
Thanks,

Do you keep your contacts on the phone, the sim, or synced with Google? That might provide a clue.
I have had this happen before. Usually as a result of unmounting the internal storage. Easiest fix (doesn't take that long) if your rooted is to just adb push them to the rom. You can do it on a stock rooted rom, then do a titanium backup and in the future it will push them to whatever rom your on. But no, to answer your question, I'm not sure what causes it but it's easier to just push them once and forget about them since they take up so little space.
Everything is synched with Google.
I'll try the root and push to rom solution.
Thanks

i have the same problem, and everything's synced to Google as well. Every time I mound my SD and unmount it the ringtones get mixed up or reset.
Looks as if the internal sdcard is unmounting automatically. When I lose my ringtones, looks as if I can't launch any apps I've moved over the sdcard. Strange.
Ringtone problem...Changes?
I don't know if i'm just drinking too much or if it's doing it on it's own but does anyone notice that the ringtone changes to a different one every day? I Use my own MP3 and they are no longer than 30 seconds but every day, it will set itself to a different tone....hmmm
I have noticed that I also notice that my SMS tones also change and this has to do if and when I actually connect to the USB and mount the USB.
Same here.
There seems to be a slew of issues with this phone, of which the list seems to grow by the day. It's a huge deterrent.
Is it my imagination, or are there more issues with this release than a typical phone release? It really supports what I believe was a rushed product by Google/Sammy.
i love the phone no doubt but the ringtone thing bugs me a lot. i can never tell when my phone is ringing. i been using the same tone forever.....30 days to return it if purchased at full price....thinking thinking thinking.
I have the same issue. Well issues being reported. I like the phone, for this being my first dive into Android but damn. I think this might be more of a FAIL then the N1.
I'm really thinking of returning it to Best Buy. But what phone to get? Stock Android is awesome and with fast updates it is a toss up.
Anyone else having the issue with wanting to ditch it but yet what other phone on the market will be stock android?
Well at least we all have a few more weeks to think about it.
heard someone say that the 2.3.1 update fixes it
[Q] ringtone folder?
where do i put ringtones on the nexus S? i made a folder under media so its like media>audio>ringtone but for somereason it did not recognize it. where do i put ringtones, notifications, alarms?
As title says, I am suddenly unable to set any ringtone, notification, etc on my ICS Android (HD2).
The files are there (in phone memory - \system\media\ringtones), the phone is rooted and the file permissions are fine.
But yet the ringtones do not appear in the respective lists in Settings.
Powering off does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
copy from other rom
copy from other roms ring tones to your file
Thx, but that doesn't make any sense to me.
I already have my ringtone files on my PC and I could easily re-upload them in the proper folder on the Android. But when I do so, they still do not appear...Used to work fine...
Anyone? Thx
Same pb
Hello,
I am having almost the same problem.
Sometimes impossible to find the rings while they are still on the phone.
Often, the system is in read / open and not read / write, after a reboot or two, everything falls into place.
But I do not know whence can this problem.
Good luck and tell us if you find
Franky
try an app like ring tone maker.
works like a charm for finding files and using them for rings/notifications etc
am using American Android Rom and ring tone maker to set the rings
Such programs usually store their ringtone files on the SD Card, which is not what I am looking for.
I want my files loaded from the memory - and they are already there and worked before, that's what pisses me off..
