Hi Everyone,
I already copied all my ringtones off my Note 3 into a folder on my laptop. After I tested a ROM I didn't like I went back to stock and copied all the ringtones back to my Ringtones folder on my Note 3, they all worked fine. I then liked the look of Resurrection Remix ROM and put that on. Did a full wipe and everything has been ok except I can't copy my ringtones back to the Note. This is where it gets weird for me. They are showing up on the Note under File Expert but if I plug the Note into my laptop they are not showing up in the Ringtones folder, it's empty except for the 2 Hangouts files. If I try and copy them back to the Note an error pops up saying cannot copy and that's it. Anyone offer any advice?
TIA
AFAIK, ringtones folder are system folder files.
Any files belongs to system nd root, won't be shown up on pc or laptop. No need to say about copying files into it.
U need to do it on ur note with root explorer or something similar.

I am rooted m8, I've been copying files too and from my Note 3 without any issues for months, my galaxy nexus which I had for 2 years allowed me to do the same, so why has it suddenly stopped? The only thing I can narrow it down to is the custom rom, looks like I'll be going back to stock just to check that's the case. Thanks for the reply

I have a trouble adding a new folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard. The device doesn't show these ringtones in system ringtone chooser whatever I do. However, on older firmwares I didn't have any problems with this, the device showed these ringtones right after I restarted the phone. Recently I full wiped and flashed MEA stock rom from the scratch, and now I can't make the device show my custom ringtones in the system menu. Adding the ringtones to System/media/audio/ringtones folder works, but I would like to have a separate folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard, so that I don't have to put them in system ringtones folder after each rom change.
Does anybody has a solution to this?

Hi,
Try Media Scanner
Media scanner didn't help. The system does see the files if i want to add them manually one by one. But the files won't appear in the menu automatically as they used to do before.

Im new here but I read somewhere that a .nomedia file may me stored in a folder and mediascanner for images,music,video will skip this folder. View hidden files and folders in your folder browser so you can see dot files and see if this file is in the ringtones folder. if yes then delete it.
Edit
Try putting a "ringtones" folder in sd card and put your ringtones in there. Then try to see if it shows up.
The previous answer was almost correct.
In your SD Card create a folder with the name "media", inside create 3 folders: "Notifications", "Ringtones" and "Alarms". By doing that your device automatically will recognize every file an list it in the right place.
Actually, I have all those folders on the sdcard. As I said, just before flashing mea Rom with full wipe, these folders were recognized and the all my ringtones were in system sound selection menu. But after flashing, whatever I do, I can't make them appear there. I only have to add them manually one by one. I think there is something changed in mea update that doesn't let you add new ringtones. However, the hangouts app created ringtones folder and two files are there and the are in the system sound selection menu. But if I add couple of my ringtones to that folder
, they don't show up after restarting the phone. The same ringtones, when put into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using root explorer, appear in the system with no issue.
So as said, there might be some change since Mea Rom that is not letting adding new ringtones.
What do you think?

Seems very hectic for you buddy.
try this if possible.
Go to Setting-> applications-> All-> Search for Media storage-> Clear the data & Stop it (force Close). Again start this service.
Reboot the device in Recovery ( If you are rooted) then clear only dalvik cache.
Now, it will take 15 min to scan your device media.
Remember, your all Ringtones setting will be lost in this case.
Man, thanks a lot! This really worked and none of the audio settings were lost.
I am just curious, why this could happen? Maybe it's because I restored my system from Titanium backup, and media storage was there. In Mea rom there might be some changes to media storage so there was some conflict. Is it right?

Actually some of the settings were lost, like alarm etc. But not a big deal, thanks man

I love the nexus 4 but the fact that my mac can't see it is really annoting. I could easily connect my GS2 like a pendrive and transfer files and also rearrange stuff. Now, I've searched around the web and found the 'Android File Transfer' app that allows me to copy files back and forth from my mac. I would be totally fine with this if only it allowed me to move files from on folder to another with my nexus. This is a ridiculously basic feature that is missing. i.e. say I copy a bunch of songs to the wrong folder on my phone, AFT doesn't allow me to just drag those files over to another folder on my phone. I now need to delete all those files and recopy them onto the correct folder. This is unacceptable so I'd like to know if theres a good alternative to AFT or am I missing something?
FYI: Im on 4.3 and not rooted
BUMP!
Some info I've found online suggests that running gvfs and Nautilus from MacPorts works well with MTP. I've had success with Nautilus in Linux but have not used Mac OS.
If your only issue is not being able to move the files to a different folder after they've been transferred, have you considered just using an Android file manager app to move the files once they're on your device?
I recently sold my N4 and basically copied all the files from the local/system sd unto my pc. I need to check my call log for a a call I had recieved a couple weeks ago.
In desperate need, how can I find this information in my files that I've backed up!

what u used to make a backup? if u got just from copying and pasting from mtp, no way to get those things back then.(at least, if your phone had 4.4,but probably would be the same for 4.3 or 4,.2)
Be a whole lot quicker to ask your phone Co to send you the information. They will for a small fee

If you are rooted, use Root Explorer from the playstore.
I have used it for over 5 years and I have no problem opening and seeing all the files and folders on my s6 edge plus phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day.

You cannot upload the file from it's current location, copy the file into your internal SD card first.
If that don't work then make sure to check the attributes of the file is set to R/W READ & WRITE.
Also check your file manager's permission & attribute settings, it should be set to allow read & write.
Good luck, have a great day

i know this. but its r/w so it should work but it don't work fine,
but in the past i had it to that root browser don't copy the files completley (for example my account files) from sd card to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files so some one said to use solid explorer and that worked but now it is the other way arround, it copy fine to /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN/files but not from there to sd card, it copy the files but i can not open them in a bin editor
Don't know why people are so happy with Root Explorer it's very nice but lacks a lot of features.
I've done these thing with Total commander without problems. Try that one.
ps blind me missed the part about Dropbox. Did you try to put it in (by example) your downloads folder and upload from there? Goodluck anyway!
Okay, now i have three cases with my phone when the phone boots up
1.Hello moto boot animation with sound
In this case my phone works fine (only for few minutes though )
2.Hello moto boot animation without sound
In this, i cant hear any audio from my phone speaker , have to put on my headphones even to answer a call
3.No hello moto animation
Now, its gone, i couldnt use any app related to sound, no music,no calls nothing related to sound, ive to reboot my phone until any of the first two cases to come.
Model:XT1643
Variant:India
Current Rom: nougat 7.0.0(hope ive flashed the perfect stock)
Note: Ive unlocked my bootloader, this problem appeared after some good 20 days
Things that i already did:
1.Factory reset
2.Flashed RR,CM and some other roms
3.Flashed vegito and other kernels
4.Relocked the bootloader
5.Flashed many stock roms
6.All primitives(safe mode,factory mode,clearing cache,wiping dalvik)
7.Saw the logs and found something like
/proc/asound/card---- state failed no such directory found
Now im on my stock rom with bootloader locked.Till yesterday i was in case 2 but phone switched off due to low batter and when i power it on now my phone is back to the worst case 3.
Please help me , i hope xda forums got many android experts and developers
From Case 1 and 2.
I have seen this similar problem (on old Nokia phone), on my phone that happened because of water damage, few drops of water went to jack and it started to show "connected headphone" so it stopped playing music through speaker but worked fine with earphones..
It's rainy season, can you confirm this?
About 3rd case,
it iss un-understandable, can you tell more about that?
Also you have filled half post with what you have done to solve this, i would suggest you to write condition of phone before this happened, what actually you did before this problem started ? This will help others to understand problem..
Edit: about error in log,
Are you still on unlocked bootloader ?
Can you tell, (use any root browser / file manager)
Is there anything in /proc/asound/ ?
In my phone 6 files and card folder (shortcut to msm8952*****) contains other 200+ files...

3rd case i mean moto boot involves
big M moto logo and then hello world and then some animation with sound
in the 3rd case only Moto logo will be shown for some seconds and phone boots up
And yeah, i can confirm that my phone's never been wet
the problem started when i tried rooting my phone, i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed wrong supersu file(I was a noob in this stuff back then).ended up in boot loop,Flashed some stock rom available in the net and phone worked perfectly for some days before this problem begun.
Since i dont have root access, i guess i couldnt access /proc/asound/
and now i have a locked bootloader
thanks for your time on replying my post
Warm regards.
Can you try to re-unlock it ?
[It's DARK here, i will not check any threads now, but suggest you to check threads in Q&A section about re-unlocking bootloader after updating to latest firmware, i don't wish any buddy's phone gets damaged, so please check]
Then see /proc/asound/
I will provid one from mine xt1643 if yours is something wrong..
Another question: does this happen with custom ROM too ?
Yeah sure, I will reunlock the bootloader,
Do I have to root my phone or reunlocking is sufficient to see system files?
And one more question
In twrp recovery I found fix se Linux contexts
Can I do that? Safe to do ? Does it have any chance of solving my problem?
Im quite experienced in locking and unlocking bl
I'll do it tomorrow and post the result here.
And yeah same with custom Roms also
Facing the same problem too

As here log said, "card" folder is missing in asound folder (your SS)
Check my SS, i am little confused about sharing card folder, because there is shortcut folder msm8952***** that directs to same card folder.

i have taken it with different methods,
1st: i took flashable zip of /proc/asound with "zipME" app,
here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXhUjfgNMqyVnhyME8yREc2TXc/view?usp=drivesdk
2nd: copied with file manager, you have to unzip and paste into /proc/asound/
Here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXhUjfgNMqyQjJfNFlvLTM0Y28/view?usp=drivesdk
PS: i have taken whole asound folder, i suggest you to 1st copy card folder only and see..

I am using X-Plore since symbian.. LoL. It provides good facilities, but for new user it may be confusing as it has dual pane view and stuff..
But i have seen most of users prefer ES file explorer and solid explorer... You can try them, and see what makes your work easy..

Yes those were taken form correct directory, but surprisingly those are getting overwriten at some time events, i just restarted my device and you can see it's date/time is close to clock (ss attached)... It's something issue with your device that it's not getting written..
Yeah, but copy pasting the missing folder will atleast work as a temp fix,
Can't I do anything to do that? I mean copy paste in the directory
And yeah even my 6 files are modifying with time, but those folder and shortcut is missing
It's full of surprise, can you check that with xplore (available on playstore)
TWRP is also not showing those folder but x-plore does..
