Hello.
I have a problem. I have my own set of Call and SMS ringtones in MP3 format.
Unfortunatly when i connect my phone to computer in data storage mode (works like pendrive) phone access to SD card is severed and because of that ringtones are being set back to default ones, even if i disconnect my phone from computer.
Changing phone mode to media device is not an option.
The solution im looking for is a way to copy my MP3 track to internal memory and then select it as ringtone. With that if i would connect my phone to computer as storage device, my MP3 ringtones would remain because they are now in internal memory.
I dont have problem with copying MP3 to internal storage. My phone is running official Andorid ICS 4.0.4 with full root access (i have superuser and i can use apps like Link2SD etc.). Im using X-Plore app for file management, i can access root with both read and write.
The problem is even if i place my MP3 files in internal memory (tried a few of different places) when i select ringtone and then i press "phone library" phone wont find my MP3. Same happens if i want to play them in stock media player. It does not see them.
So my question is how to make my phone see MP3 files stored in internal memory?

you need to place you sounds in the corect folders
for ringtones: /system/media/audio/ringtones
for notification sounds: /system/media/audio/notifications
then reboot & see if you can choose them from settings/sounds..
if you cant then you have probably convert to the same fileformat as the other inside (i think its ogg), which is a simple task

without restarting the phone. Is it possible? If not I need another music player app because it's lame to restart the phone each time I add a new title.
Im not sure, but I do have a workaround.
Just play the song using a file manager, and the music app will pick it up for indexing.

what if I add 100 new titles? No really, they only need one additional button to reindex! Functionality exists only the user interface lacks one button! So htc why such suffering?
How are you adding the files? Do you just drag and drop onto the SD card? If so the card gets rescanned as soon as you switch back from Disk Drive mode. If it's not then there's a problem.
For example if you connect via USB you have the options to charge only, sync, see it as a disk drive or use the device as a modem. If you see it as a disk drive the SD card is unmounted from the phone until you've finished. Then it's mounted and rescanned.

no it's not. You can put some files into a mp3/some_subfolder and restart the phone. Then start the music app and then rename this some_subfolder. The app is f-ed up. OK maybe unmounting the sdcard and remounting it is a workaround but it's dirty one.
ps I mount sdcard in a unix environment and do copy files. Then I switch back to inet sharing.
Whenever I flash a new rom, I notice my playlists that were on my sd card are deleted.
I know I sometime add a song to the playlist using either Mixzhing or the android music app included with the custom roms, so I am speculating that when this is done the player generates its own playlist, storing it on my phones internal memory in some db file and deletes my old one.
This is a very...VERY...good question. I put a few m3u playlists on my sd card and when I flashed a new rom, gone. I think it has something to do with "Media Storage" because if you delete that in Titanium, your playlists are gone.

I actually tried to restore media storage using titanium, but it did not help.
I wonder about changing the permissions on it as a workaround but a pain in the a$$ to not be able to add songs using the music app to your playlist on the fly,
hey guys,
My issue is that when I plug my s3 into the computer. When I access the SD card from the file explorer on the computer, it comes up with duplicate folders. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue. However if i browse the files through astro on my phone it looks just fine. I'm running AOKP Build 4.
So I saw this & hoped there was some extra infoon tthis topic cause I had the exact same issue. It was agrivating because I didn't know which folder to save to. Some of the folders had different data in them
My solution? I put the sd card in a multi reader & poof - no duplicate files.
BAD NEWS
Now my phone doesn't know where to find the sd card. Oh, it reads & writes just fine. I can see it in SUFBS & Astro file manager, copy files to/from with ease. But go to the gallery & I only see the phone memory. Ring tones are only found in phone memory. Downloading from any Web browser & it only goes to internal storage & I can't point to ext sd, but sms backup & restore saves to it just fine. My friend thinks the drive letter got changed but I have no idea how to find or change that in the phone. I's sad.

Ive never seen this myself. But i only connect to my computer via usb when using Odin. For file transfers i use SwiFTP wireless transfer.
Search for sgs3 easy ums here on xda. Itll let you mount external sd as UMS rather than MTP which is probably whats causing it (maybe because you are non stock?).
Also you may have to reformat the card at this point. Not really sure about that though.
Sorry i dont have more for you, but in the future try those two apps i mentioned. Find Swiftp bt searching the themes and apps section.

I am using windows 8.1 (tried on 2 different systems with same OS) and viperone rom 2.5.0 on my HTC one M8. (this is a problem i always had even on the stock rom, I thought that a custom rom might fix it but i was wrong).
When i connect my phone to my computer, it gets detected instantly.
It finds the internal sd card but also the external sd card.
HOWEVER, when i go to the internal sd card (So the memory the phone has by default) There is no Android folder. (you know, the one with the .com-facebook blabla files in it)
When i open a file explorer on my phone I can perfectly see all the files and folders on my Internal SD card. But when I use the pc to find these files, allot of them don't show up. Even some files in the ROOT of the sd card are not showing up, and these are simple .png and .log files. AS IF WINDOWS 8.1 DOES NOT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE FILES, and therefor decides to just not show them.
- YES i have turned on Show hidden files and folders -
Oh yeah, sometimes these folders do randomly pop up in there on the pc but then the are gone just as fast as they appeared. Also transfering files is very, very slow and gets interupted from time to time because windows "Cannot connect to device" or "Lost connection to device".
I keep wondering, why can't it be easy like an simple usb stick/drive. Those things are just plug 'n play. I recon that android should have this same option but it keeps disappointing me
I remember the good GingerBread days where you pressed the button on your phone CONNECT STORAGE TO PC. And it worked every single time, without delay or other crap. Just like CWM with its USB Storage function.
Look for a folder named "storage", in there you find the folder "emulated" and in there is the folder "0" open it and you'll see all the folders you have on your phone
Sorry guys if this has been asked.. Any idea to make samsung music player update its music list if we just copy new songs to folder ?
Thanks
Go to Settings, Applications, show system apps, find Media Storage, go to its storage memory used and clear all data.
Reboot the phone and let it rebuild the media list.
So how do you prevent it from happening again? Is there the right way of copying mp3 files so the system will add it properly to the media database?
I'm facing now the same issue ?
Found the solution.. just add music files to internal memory not the sd card now it will appear in Samsung music.. u can move them later to sd card and will work normally
Still having this problem on android 11.
