I want to use a custom sound for incomin mail. No Problem, copying the file in the windows directory and selecting it in the advanced settings.
This is working for a few times, but then the sound file is corrupted an even soundfiles never played are corrupted.
Can I try any other folder or does anybody know another solution?
does nobody have the same problem?
Solved
Hi. I had also these problems but then I solved my case by noticing that I had to rename my sound files. You can only use small letters with sound file names copied in Windows folder (example: sms.wav => NO SMS.wav). After this I got my custom sounds work fine. I hope this helps you, too.
i have a similar problem. I am using a .wav file in the \windows\rings folder as ringtone. From time to time the ringtone gets reverted to the windows mobile standart one, and i have no clue what causes this. The .wav file itself in my case remains intact. i just have to select it again in settings ->phone.
Try placing your sound files in this folder:
My Device\Application Data\Sounds\
My problem is that after deleting a file from DCIM folder after taking a backup on my PC (the folder where the pictures clicked from the phone are stored); when I click a new picture it is stored with a filename of the deleted file.
e.g if I hv stored Image006 on my PC and deleted it from the SD card, a new image will have the name Image006 although I have an Image035
So then wen i backup the images again i hv problem of images having the same name.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening i.e the new filename should always be the one after my last image.
Also I dnt know if this happens only in Desire or in all phones.
I have been trying to track down a culprit that has been creating over 1GB of thumbnails in the .thumbnails directory in the root (not off of DCIM). After much googling, I got nothing.
Basically, off of the phone's storage, sdcard0, there is a hidden .thumbnails directory. In there is a folder for every single video I have on my external SD card. The folder is named "Movie_6xxx", where 6xxx is a number, like "Movie_6634". In that folder are 13 files for each video - 12 named "filename.0000.lvl" to "filename.0011.lvl", plus a 13th file named "filename.ListView.lvl".
If I delete the files, it stays empty until the phone is put on the charger. Then the files are regenerated.
I have checked running programs and such, but I cannot find the culprit that is doing this. Gallery creates thumbnail files, but I think those are off of DCIM and are less than 100MB in size. This .thumbnails off of the root is 1.3GB in size - a definite problem.

This guy had the exact same problem, with no apprent solution:

Anyone got any ideas?
I don't know what application do that, i simply delete the .thumbnails directory and create a .thumbnails empty file. Phone works well, with no problems with gallery or video player.

If you go into the "Thumbnails" tab of the stock video player, you will see that your video files are "animated". I rather suspect that the thumbnails you are talking about have been created by the media scanner to provide those animations.
No idea how to turn this behaviour off I'm afraid.

Dave

I guess you're right, when i remove the directory and replace it a .thumbnails file, there is no more animated video files.
I was hoping for an actual fix/turn it off, but I'm afraid you are right, the ".thumbnails" file seems to be the only way...thanks all.
Hello everyone,
I have racked my brain to find a solution in vain. So I ask for help
In my gallery, I have a file named Drop Box ( but the icon is picasa)
I cannot delete the file and delete the photos inside the file.
How do I delete photos inside this file?
It's different from other normal files which can be deleted.
In my dropbox, I don't have any shared file. I don't have the photo which is inside the file actually in my dropbox.
I don't use picasa as well.
With reference to the following thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351600
I don't have the same options given by other users as I am using tablet Nexus 2013, not phone.
Thank you very much!
Hello Guys,
I sent in my phone for repair a second time now (had a screen flicker that would not go away no matter what)
I received the phone back, this time wiped completely.
I noticed the OBB folder is missing under Android. Can I just re-create the folder under the Android folder and have the same functionality ? Or does this mean my phone is now lacking some sort of feature it had? (root related)
All help is appreciated!
OBB file will be created as needed... Generally when you install a game with BIG files...
