I tried to put one on the internal storage yesterday and the phone doesn't see it. If I put in an sd card, then the phone sees it. I have tried just the blank file as well as /media/ringtones.
Any ideas?

When connected to your PC, copy your ringtones to the root of the "Phone" partition. That is where mine are, and they show up fine.
Also, make sure its media/audio/ringtones, not media/ringtones.
oh, it is media/audio/ringtones. I will try to move it to the phone partition

sd card unmounted or not present??? whats going on with my phone? cannot access it threw recovery/astro/gallery help!
it may be mounting as read only you can plug your phone into your computer. Goto My Computer, right click on the SD card drive. Click properties goto the tools tab and check drive for errors. It takes a few minutes.
My SD card was mounting as read only. It was caused by moving pictures to my desktop from the DCIM folder.
gotcha ill try it when i get home from work...i booted into recovery and wanted to see if i could access my sd card so i went into install zip from sd card. it took a while for my files to appear and when i chose an option it said no information available...i hope its just in read only mode
Sounds pretty similar to what happened to me and It just happened randomly. You can see the files but can't access them or move them around. Mine was giving me a notification about it and if I went to unmount it manually in settings nothing would happen.

I plugged my phone into my pc and the connection shows as MTP connected.
I then created a folder called Media. I placed my DCIM folder (which was on my external SD card) into Media... AND IT ERASED ALL THE PICTURES...
Has this happened to anyone else?
When I look at my disk space, it's showing as if it was erased (29gb free, it had 26gb free).
This same thing happened with my music (8gb).
Can anyone please help.
Same thing happened to me. I thought it was the AEMod flash I did from CWM right afterwards but yeah, I moved a folder full of apk's I've accumulated over the course of owning Android phones to the external_sd folder using Nautilus (Gnome's file manager).
When I Connect USB Storage to my workstation I get two mounts: 12GB and 16GB. The file manager works fine with the external_sd folder underneath the 12GB mounted device so I didn't think anything of it, but I wonder if you're supposed to only use the 16GB device?
Sux4sure.
I'm really pissed.
Luck I have most of the pics saved on my laptop, but still, makes no sense why if you move folders on your 32gb card intoa different folder on your sd card that it would wipe

First I'll start by noting that I haad my n2 several days before purchasing a 64gb sd card. So system was already setup with a few apps installed pre-sdcard.
However now that I have it in, nothing saves to it. Everything still saves to the internal sdcard. I dont care about apps and such installed from market or xda, those are fine.
But anything I download from Tapatalk or the web browser automatically saves to internal. Pictures taken as well.
Im coming from an evo3d where pics and all media/files I downloaded would go to the sd card and not internal.
I do see that for whatever reason samsung nsmed there internal as sdcard which probably makes a lot of apps think that is the external and not internal but its extremely annoying. I dont know if its because I started using phone before I had an external one in or if thats by design.
But its ridiculous to think I'd have to manually copy everything over from internal to external sfter downloading something when my 3d used to place on external.
Do I need to factory reset to correct this or what. Whats the point of an external card that isnt being utilized??
Also it isnt recognized at all in twrp which after some reading I see it doesn't support 64gb? What gives?
Do I need to format it a certain way?
Thanks in advance.

I have not been able to move my Tapatalk download folder, but you can relocate where things download to under settings in the browser and camera apps.
For formatting, I'd format the card via the phone under storage if you haven't already tried that.

I changed camera to external so it now saves to /storage/extSdCard/DCIM which is good but dolphin broswer only lets u select /storage/sdcard0 which is default internal storage. Doesnt even show the extSdCard as an option. Why in the world would they do it like this. Very gay.
Had no issues on previous HTC models going to the correct place.
Would I be able to use root explorer to rename the directories?
Need this fixed more than anything. Some apps dont even give you the option to change path as they assume sdcard0 is your actual sdcard. :/

sdcard0 to extsdcard
I found a scripts the tricks ICS to use your external sdcard as your internal storage. So when apps write data to sdcard0 it is actually writting to your external sd. I tried it and it works!
I dont have permission to post outside links but you can find it at galaxynote2root in the tutorials section.
I have an ATT SGS3 and today I flashed 4.2. Everything is cool, but due to multiple flashes over the past few days, I had several (0) folders on my SD card. I know this is due to 4.2 having the option to have multiple users. Since I had like 6 (0) folders, I moved my main folder back to the newest folder. The problem? While I can see the folder in Root Explorer and CWM, it does not show up when I plug it into the computer via USB. I only see one folder and nothing else.
How can I fix it so I can see this folder when plugged into the computer? The way it is now, my personal ringtones, music and everything else are not being found as they are not being seen.
Thanks for any help!!
I'm on 4.2 and both of my cards show up on my pc. I don't have the (0) folder you speak of either. Closest I have to that is usbdisk(0)
Look on one of your cards for a folder with the name of "0". The content of that folder is everything previously on your internal sd.
I can see the folder on root explorer but can't when I am hooked up to computer.

I just found that my contents of the internal sd card is showing up as the extenal sd when hooked to the computer. Crazy. But I can't move the files to the comptuer like this. How can I get this back to the way it should be? I want the internal contents to show up as the internal contents!

This is a known issue in 4.2 ROMs at the moment. Assuming you flashed CM or AOKP, you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052337
Problem: USB MTP connection failing to transfer files between device and computer. Windows states the device may be disconnected, when in fact it is not. Another issue with 4.2 is sometimes it does not show your complete folder contents, it will also swap Internal Storage and SD Card folders.
There is no known solution at this time. (None that I have found anyway, and trust me I've been searching for the past 2 days non stop. Really looking forward to cm10.1, but every time I update I get the above issues. I'm waiting for them to be sorted out before I use it as a daily ROM.)
So I don't know what I did but I went to my recovery (TWRP) and accidently did something I do not know what, but now I can not view my pics, files, music from both SD/internal..but when I reboot my phone and check on the computer I see everything there and my storage says it's full. I just can't see it on the phone

I think it would be very useful if you can provide a lot more details and specifics about your situation like
which rom are you using, did it ever work properly if so what was the last thing you have done with the
phone before you started having this issue.
If I were you since you can see your internal and external sdcards on your computer I would first create
two new folders on the computer's desktop, one for internal sd and the other external sd.
Then copy all the files and folders from your internal/external sdcard to the appropriate folders on your desktop.
After doing that check how much space is being used in each of your two new folders on your computer's desktop.
See if there are any really large files which look suspicious to you.
After doing that and if the sdcards are either really full or not really full you will have a better idea of what to do to
trouble shoot the issue you are having with the phone.
It's always a good idea in any case to have a backup of both internal and external sdcards on your computer.
Good luck!
It isn't an ROM issue, but I was on PAC Rom. My problem is I did something in the recovery by mistake and pressed something maybe that formatted my memory?? :crying:
edit: Issue seems to be fixed..

That's one of the reasons I was suggesting that you copy everything from both internal and external
cards to folders on your computers desktop.
So you could see what you really have. If you get a message saying sdcard full or anything like that
it normally would mean that the sdcard has not been formatted, if it was it would be empty and it would
not give an error message saying that it's full.
Sometimes the PC will see the files after its been wiped by the phone. Copy everything to desktop, hope it actually copies everything, format sd card using Android OS, copy everything back, get a Dropbox account.

Find a root file manager.
Go to
Data/media.
That's your internal sd card. Some roms create a virtual sd card (sdcard0 or emulated sdcard0), which is android making a a fake one. All your pictures are still on your phone.
Just copy data/media into the virtual sd card an reboot. Your stuff shall appear again. If you have issues just pm me.
