I have an htc pure (at&t). i installed froyo 2.2 (topaz) this morning. I updated the zimage, initrd, & rootfs files to newer versions to get my sound working. the sound works, if i use OI file manager, and browse to /sdcard i can play my files.
My problem is i cant make the music app see the sd card. i click on it and it says "your phone does not have an sd card inserted". under sd card & phone storage settings, it says "unavailable ) on all of the entries for the sd card, and the mount and format are greyed out.
The sd card is inserted, Froyo is installed to it. before starting android, i plugged the phone in and selected active sync. (read this would help, it hasnt)
I cant understand why the apps dont recognize the sd card. any clues?
i have all my media files in a folder called music located in ( sdcard/media/music/ ) ...never had a problem with finding music...hope this helps...let me know if it works or not
I used the scan for music under dev tools (i think thats where it was) and music player sees my music, but it still isnt working right. i tried to read a pdf, and the default brower refused to open the file, citing no sd card found. its not the first thing to give me an error like that. The sound settings, where i set my ringtone, also shows no options. i managed to change the phone call tone, but when i did, the text message tone changed from the droid sound, to some random ring, which i cant find or change.
I love this App to access my phone files via WiFi,I got a question about it. I noticed I see my External Card and I can Copy and Paste files to it from my Computer but I can't seem to be able to say Copy a File on my phone's sdcard and Paste it to External Card or vice versa. Is there a way to do that with SwiFTP.
Thanks
I have a SGT 7 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I would like to add a personal default ringtone.
I tried to copy an .ogg and .wav file I created in to the ringtone folder, but was denied. I also created a ringtone folder on my sd card and external sd card, but not able to use either of them.
Anyone have an other ideas. Thanks...
Solved, Thanks to all.
Amigo, post your solution so we can learn too.
Do anybody know why I cant transfer any mp3 to nexus s internal memory? I used Astro file manager , because want use some mp3 like ringtone melody, but my mda doesnt see it when it is saved on sd card. Any help or telephone must be unlocked for thi operation? THX
Pretty sure you need to be unlocked to access outside the sd card. You could try an app like ringdroid to create one of your mp3

does android support that file type natively, if it does on your SD card make folders media/ringtones or media /notifications
thx for help, second answer works
This thing I find really annoying. If I've moved all my pictures/videos (including WhatsApp pictures etc.) and other data from my old phone's micro SD card (HTC) to the internal storage, a lot of the dates got adjusted. So a lot of my old pictures gets the date of today (just as a new picture) when I copy them to the internal storage. This is annoying because the pictures/videos doesn't show in the right order. For example a picture from 2011 shows like it's a picture from March 2013 -.-.
If I leave the pictures etc. on the micro SD there's no problem. But I prefer to use it without micro SD card.
I've tried copying with the app "ES File Explorer" and on the computer, but both give the same results. I really hope someone got a good solution for this.
Am I the only one who find this is annoying?
I think this is just the way it should be, when you copy a file it changes the 'creation date' of the copied file.
Because you duplicated the file and it was written.... today.
However if you zip a folder then copy it and extract it, files inside will keep the origninal creation date. (Also after extracting.)
Little work around and not easy to use on the go, but I guess you just want to copy your pictures once.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Thanks for your reply, but I've already tried that but it didn't work ;s. At least not for all photos. I've tried it on the computer and with ES File Explorer.
Alright, that is strange just tested and it works here without a problem.
Are you sure you do it like this:
- Use winrar to RAR or ZIP your pictures folder on the SD you want to copy them from.
- Once the archive is completed copy the ZIP or RAR archive to your internal storage.
- Once done, extract it from here.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Step 1 yes
Step 2 yes
Step 3, there this is a problem in MTP mode. On the computer I can't extract it to the internal storage or SD card storage.
I did succeed to extract it with ES File Explorer (app on my phone), but this also doesn't keeps the correct dates.
I've tried a few things. Switching between MTP en MSC mode, it makes difference. I've also tried copying photos in MTP mode from Internal memory to SD card, but this also effects the dates. Buttt if I copy the photos to my computer first and than switch to MSC mode and copy the photos to the SD card the photos are all OK.
But the problem is.. in MSC mode it doesn't support internal memory. So I still haven't a solution.
I noticed not all pictures got this problem. For example the photos which you have taken by yourself and have a "taken at" date in the photo doesn't have this problem. But the downloaded photos, like WhatsApp photos etc. does have this problem, because these have other date settings. The "modified at" date got changed in MTP mode.

Still haven't a solution ;(
Tried another thing. If I use the app Vaulty I can hide the photos and it gets encrypted. If I copy the encrypted files to the phone and open it in Vaulty all the timestamps seem OK. But if I let Vaulty to unhide the photos The problem with the timestamp got back. So the problem still isn't fixed.
It seems you are right, when I write or unzip files to the internal memory it does change the creation date.
I tried to zip files on and to the SD of the phone, thinking it would not make any difference if doing so to internal memory.
But I was wrong, sorry for that.
Installed AndoZip File Manager:
- Zipped a file from the SD card and extracted it to the SD card again, creation date IS NOT changed all good.
- Zipped a file from the SD card copied it to the internal memory and extracted it there, creation date IS changed no good.
- Zipped a file from the SD card and extracted it directly to the internal memory, creation date IS changed no good.
Think using zip or rar will not solve this problem.
Perhaps anyone else has a good idea to copy files but not change the creation date?
Kind regards, Stefan.
Thanks for your contribution
Yeah I would be really thankful if someone has a good solution for this. I find it really strange that no one is complaining about this.
