[Q][i9000] PLEASE HELP, phone acting very strange! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something strange is happening to my phone.
Friend called me and i noticed that ringtone isn't what I set up to be (MP3), it ringed with some random ringtone from android system.
When i started Music Player to reselect MP3, none of my MP3's or other media were showing in Player.
Aslo, when i went to Settings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone none of stock ringtone were there to select, only Silente. The same thing was aslo with Notification ringtone.
I rebooted phone and noticed that Media scanner isn't running at the end of the boot process, only Preparing internal / external storage. As if Media scanner isnt runing at all on my phone and as result doesn't index my media files.
The phone is rooted, but everything on it is stock. I dont use task killers or any other app that enable/disable Media scanner.
This happened from blue sky, one minute everything is fine, other this happens...
Please help!

Ringtone stops then continues...

Hi all,
I've got a Diamond with a wav ringtone.
When the phone rings, the ringtone starts, then stops for about 1/4 second then continues to play correctly...
The file is stored on the in the My Device / My Documents folder.
The file is about 2.5MB.
The file plays correctly when using media player and when previewing the ringtone in the notifications setup.
Any idea how to get it to play correctly when I receive a call instead of the slight stutter / pause?

Windows media not working! No alarms or default ringtones!!

Windows media nt working! No alarms or default ringtones!!
Ok This may sound strange. 2 days ago everything's fine until I wake up to see 15 miss calls in my cell!! I ring x1 from my other phone to check - the phone only displays a call! No vibration no sound. I soft reset - in vain. Then I discover the alarms are not working too! I try to open sound files from memory card (through windows media player), it doesn't! It just gets clicked and thats it!
When I try to select default tones like Sonyericsson etc from settings it says file not found. But I am able to play all sound files from core player.
I think if I somehow reinstall windows media player, the problem will be solved. But I am not able to find windows media player installation file anywhere. Can someone please help?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or maybe check your memory card?
In and Out?
Memory card is fine as the problem is in playing the fies from phone memory. Default tones that come with the x1. I can also play any memory card media file from coreplayer. When I click on windows media from programs menu nothing happens. Can I re install win media from any cab file? Don;t microsoft ppl give another cab file other than the installed files?

Media Scanner causes playlists to erase every song

Whenever my phone says "Media Scanner running" after only mounting my phone with my computer, it erases everything in my playlists. They completely empty out. The playlist itself is still there, but all of the songs inside are gone. For some reason, I have one playlist that consistently keeps a single song (the same one everytime) in the playlist, but any other song in the playlist will disappear.
I prefer to use winamp, but this issue is with every media player.
I've done a lot of searching and googling, and all I've found were a few others with this same issue, but nothing to fix this problem. I'm running Serendipity 6.3. Any ideas?
EDIT: This has happened on any ROM I use.

[Q]option for system music or music

I upgraded to insanity 0.71 and lost the option for choosing the ringtone. It only gives me system ringtones possibility. Before i could choose between system and music.
thanks!
Insanity automatically disables media scanning. You can shut that off in Nitrality. You also need to go into your media folders (music/photos/ringtones, etc) and delete the .nomedia files in there. Then reboot your phone.
this seems not to be the problem. on .7 when pressing change ringtone it gave me a popup where i could choose between music or system tones and evem make a default mark, similar to when you have to different sms softwares installed. now it gos straight to system ringtones...
