Today i just flashed my phone and put newer ROM,
so as i start now to install over again iGO MYWay 2006+ navigation software i would like to use previous settings with old POI's i had before.
Those settings and all files i saved on my SD card Storage card which wasn't deleted during ROM flashing off course.
So, now when i go again to install iGO he always automatically install it into My Device/Program Files where he puts in folder called 'iGO 2006' and inside is only one file called 'igo' and when i start application it opens normally softare but with defauld settings and can't force application to 'work' with settings i have on my Storage card!
Please help me with suggestions what to do?!
I tryed to copy those 'igo' file from 'my device' to 'storage device' where all those old settings are, but than won't even start navigation software
actully, what could maybe solve the problem is how to force kaiser to install iGO software on storage card, not on my device ?!
noone? please, i'm desperate
i did it! need to copy those files from computer (which i had copy before flashing), not from storage card (those files which need to be on device)
and now everything working well!
hi, ive got a problem that i cannot seem to sort myself.
ive got custom ringtones stored on my SD card that i have been using for a while.
whenever the phone was connected to my PC, in mass storage mode [beacuse Kies wont work, dont get me started on that!] the rington and message alerts would go to default [a load of beeping] as the SD card could not be accessed, upon unplugging they went back to normal.
a couple of days ago this stopped working, and now i cannot set custom ringtones or message alerts no matter what i try! i have rebooted, uninstalled a load of my latest apps, formatted SD card and still no luck.
the only thing that i have chnaged is that i bought a new SD card [16gb instead of 8], but i have formatted this both in and out of the phone.
can anyone help!!
thanks Matt
You have mounted the card again (sorry if a daft question)?
i have had this happen periodically when the sd card that they are stored on unmounts or something.. bringing up the system to set the ringtone crashes..
the only way i got around it was bringing up the settings changing the notification and voice etc. ringtone to a built in system tone.. then bringing it up again and resetting to the correct ringtone.
if you stop media scanning
or have added the file .nomedia to the folder where your ring tones are located
then the phone will not see the ringtone
you can download the Media Scanner on/off switch to fix that

I did have a .nomedia file in the folder but I cannot download the file to my phone, it says that it cannot complete the download as its a file format that the phone doesn't recognise! ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
install Astro File manager or Attachment to SD plug in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8139934&postcount=56 also works
both of those will let you save files to the phone from the browser/email
Well, its sorted
Got rid of the .nomedia file, opened the filer with the mp3 with '01 file manager' and added it as a ringtone...AND IT WORKED!
However...i downloaded that file from the market and it still wouldn't key met save that file,hmmmm I'll gave to download it on my comp I think.
Thanks for all the help guys, really chuffed now

This sounds weird - but whenever I transfer information to the SD Card it doesn't become visible until I reboot the N1. Any directory changes, new files / deleted files don't become visible until a I reboot, even though they are visible from the PC. Anyone got any ideas why?
I use the SD-Share/SD-Split app from the marketplace to allow me to use Co-Pilot Live at the same time as reading the SD card as a mounted USB device in the car.. (the file changes aren't visible from ASTRO, Bluetooth file manager or eFile file managers)
Am I doing anything wrong? Is this normal behaviour? (I use the latest enom ROM)

Your SD-share app is causing this effect, I believe.
Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.
FolderMount (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122) did the trick. Thanks!

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?
in my S4
whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.
Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks
Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.

Got the same Issue - can send Images and theyll get stored on SD via Foldermount, but when i receive images, just got the blurry thumbnail and after i downloaded the image i got that "Media is not found on the SD card" issue.
Anyone knows what i did wrong?
I can't believe this.
The same crap happened to me on a second XT890. I'm lost for words.
here is what happened.:
Got a phonecall, when I wanted to pick it up the phone would turn off saying not enough power, at 30 % !!???
Ok, so no big deal I thought,...turned it back on, had the same person calling me, everything was fine. Then i noticed the stored mms images would not load inside the conversations. Si turned the phone off and on again, mms images are loading again.
Got another phone call and my personal ringtone, gone, no longer there. Couldn't even switch it back even though the file, supposedly was there. Then I tried to play the file, google play music would not.
Next, all my images are gone, no longer folders of the camera and images and videos. Using quickoffice , that app says, no files on the internal sd card! WTF!?
Turning the phone off an on again, let me see the files on the card again, even let me play an audio file, going in and out of the folder, the files disappeared again.
So long story short. Everything seems to work except my files are gone and quickoffice and fileviewers won't find the files. When i put in an external sd card that works fine on other devices, it won't load the files, images, videos, only maybe 3 of 100!? What the hell.
This is the second time on a different phone but same model this has happened.
I can't afford to loose the images and recordings. are they gone? what has happened? I ran DR Fone recovery, and even that won't find the images i need,
Phone is rooted. And it's driving me nuts. Battery was replaced 6 months ago, everything was fine. Now that.
Please help, need my files, desperately.
What could have caused this? ? What is not working properly? Indexing? Gallery? Quickoffice?
Could be a corruption in the data
" corruption on your internal memory
" corruption on the system partition or dalvik
See if adb can find the files on your internal sdcard. With the command: adb shell ls /storage/sdcard0/[path to video/photo]
Thanks will try.!
In the meantime Root Browser shows the sd card as empty, and last time changed as 8/5/12 which was the build date of the phone.... :-/
Funky, When hooking up for adb and running a command the files and sd card became visible. So while visible I was able to safe all the files to external card. When restarting the phone the internal sd and files disappeared again. I cleared cache and dalvik and media storage, no effect. files remain hidden. Running sd maid it says system files are hidden. using es file explorer running showing hidden files i get a no permission response. same for sd card, says no permission. so something is blocking me. virus? i don't really use wlan or internet, wondering how to get everything working again. files and everything is there, but i have no access.
Still looks like a corruption somewhere. I should just safe all files that u need, backup data and do a full system restore and start over. With full I mean also a internal memory wipe.
Maybe there is a much better option, but I don't know any atm.
Still fiddling with it. Thought I just do a factory reset. Well didn't work.
Somehow before I did the reset the media store app was moved to sd card and a different apk was placed in system / app folder.
After the restart you guessed it, all data was gone as expected. Gallery and ringtones and video, and so on won't show. The media storage apk is in system/app folder, but it won't show under settings/apps/all.....
Not being an expert I think I messed this up by switching out the apks,.../
The one now in the system folder is: version 4.04-1351904261 but I need version 4.04-1344118159
Who can tell me where i can find one?
