[Atrix 4G General] Aielman:
I still have a problem with other aps seeing the ringtones I moved, but the important part is that core system sees them, and I can assign them to contacts or just the default without the system forgetting them every time the internal and sdcard storage are unmounted when I connect with USB to the PC. That was the important part for me as I was missing calls when the phone assigned a random short tone or notification to my default ring and those of my wife and kids.

After some advice I found here on XDA, I moved them to the \system\media\audio\ringtones folder and did the same for the notifications I wanted. The problem I had was I wasn't familiar with root explorer and didn't notice the button to set to read/write. Once I moved the tones there, everything works, although they are now not available to some other applications.
[Atrix 4G General] marhodges:
I spoke too soon. It is "forgetting them even on the phone root. (/media/audio/ringtones) not on the internal or external card.

I have no clue why this keeps happening when I reboot my phone or unmount my card. How does un/remounting the card effect files on the root of the phone????

ANY SUGGESTIONS
[Atrix 4G General] marhodges:
.

My files are still on the card and internal memory, but the contacts, alarms, messaging, calendar, etc apps can't remember the tones I set.

I have copied the files to the following locations with the same issue recurring:

/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/system/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard-ext/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard-ext/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

Even after moving them with ROMmanager to the "non-mountable" storage (/system) they are still reassigning and setting to "unknown".

Possibly related issue. The playlists I create with MixZing, winAmp, and astro are empty are the phone reboots.

Occasionally I get the "no files" error when I check the mounted card in file manager, but if I manualy unmount and remount the card, they are still there.

I keep missing calls, texts and having my alarms "silent". This is getting frustrating. I bought the Atrix on launch day so I need to exchange NOW if that is what is needed.

Other than the above and the losing data connection issue, I LOVE THIS PHONE
[Atrix 4G General] jcgechevarria:
Hi everybody, i'm having same issue in my SE Xperia Arc 2.3.4 with original rom, when i conect to PC if i select the conection to massive storage MSC instead MTP mode, the configured sounds does not work, i copyed all the ringtones to /system/media/... and have the same issue, and if i extract the memori card outside the phone the issue persists, so, is there any way to set the sounds stored on the phone memory as the contacts, phone or alarm sounds???

Any good video player for DHD, which can play divx and can be used with CM7.
[Desire HD General] gibovl:
try ROCKPLAYER
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
Vplayer is quite nice
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
I tried both the player, I like the quality of vplayer more...the only annoying thing is it go back to home screen after playing the video.....

How is the paid app for vplayer, is there any difference or it is same as trial version...
[Desire HD General] sportbilly2009:
Ive tried Rockplayer and VPlayer, but although they play most formats they have severe limitations related to power consumption, video stuttering, and general ease of use.

I really recommend arcMedia player. Have beem using this for months with no problems. arcmediasoft.com/arcMedia/index.aspx
[Desire HD General] gibovl:
rockplayer 1.6.3 solves the "stuttering"
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I hope vlc comes out soon.
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
I also hope the same...long time its in BETA...need to hit the market.....Its the best... :)
[Desire HD General] doomsdaybg:
Im stop on mVideoPlayer and for now work very good :)
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
dito. mVideoPlayer works just fine.
[Desire HD General] mdalacu:
You can also try iMPlayer, it's using HW acceleration if video is in the right format. It has only 3.5 stars but it works very well on our DHD.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.thefluxstudio.implayer&feature=search_result

:)
[Desire HD General] mechanimal82:
I use rock player but will definitely be using vlc as my main once released.
[Desire HD General] mr.r9:
Try Moboplayer, http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
Lol, I forgot to subscribe my own thread and missed the message by long time.... :)

Anyway right now I am using RockPlayer and it is working fine...at least played all the movies which I threw at it......will try Moboplayer.....from the screenshots UI looks good....
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Try MoboPlayer, it has now been released in public, and works very very well :)
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
Ya, I tried 2 movies with Moboplayer and they played well... good ui also which is missing in most of the player...
[Desire HD General] domnic619:
Mobo player plays all formats even has a food ui
[Desire HD General] mali019:
Mobo player is really good. plays nearly all formats and has a really good UI. Vitaplayer also plays most formats but the adds kind off kills it.
[Desire HD General] kinnyfaifai:
I been using Moboplayer for over a day now and it's played everything i can throw at it! :D I've switched from using RockPlayer now. Thanks to who suggested this player, never cam up when I was looking for a good player.
[Desire HD General] ozaghloul:
Same here. Moboplayer is a real gem! Smooth stutter free playing of all formats and a GREAT UI. I absolutely love it! :)
[Desire HD General] karthics4:
VPlayer is very good and provides viewing of videos in portrait. However I am unable to view windows media files at the moment either using SkyFire or on Vplayer or ROCKPLAYER.

Any way to view live windows media stream or regular windows media video files
[Desire HD General] zoric:
VPlayer is the best player if you use subtitles.......
[Desire HD General] strauts:
The stock gallery plays divx fine, and other most used video formats.
[Desire HD General] G1sanju:
Agree, if you are on sense rom then stock player works fine....bun on AOSP we need a replacement.....moboplayer is very good for that....
[Desire HD General] sromer:
Try MoboPlayer.

It's free and does everything Vplayer does
[Desire HD General] arjunr24724:
tried moboplayer. UI is excellent. even better is soft-mode which plays movies which the sys H/W cannot play.
[Desire HD General] Earlofgrey:
Im using seamann player works exelent om my DHD
[Desire HD General] mimimui:
I like vplayer, though it's not free, it worths.
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:
Moboplayers color is horrible! Otherwise quite nice.
[Desire HD General] Stylux:
tried arc player , vplayer and rockplayer , usually plays with rmvb format ... for that , rockplayer isnt good , followed by arc player and v player .. moboplayer seems good shall test it for a few days ..
[Desire HD General] IN-Freak:
much better than rockplayer or the stock vid player?
[Desire HD General] MultiMartin:
I've found mVideoPlayer to be excellent!
[Desire HD General] este548:
Tried many of them. Vplayer (the last version 0.8.2) is by far the best one. There are other clones like vital player, etc.. but this one is most reliable.
[Desire HD General] Pedal_Bike_Pete:
Vital Player

I use vital player for anything that my phone can't do natively. Free from the market. Plays a bunch of formats
[Desire HD General] IN-Freak:
have to try it too
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
moboplayer works the best for me, its free too!
[Desire HD General] Ratix0:
I am currently using Rock Player, don't like vplayer though. Rock Player runs perfectly with the exception of mkv files. Any player that can play mkv files properly?
[Desire HD General] Keccks:
I would take the vplayer but you cant say one player is the best. I just look what movie can they play avi.,mp4 ......
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
+1

I'm also interested in .mkv playback as i have alot of them.. especially in 720p :)

I like Vplayer more though, especially the UI and volume/brightness control, as far as i tested both players have the same performance and codec support.

Lets hope VLC will play as good as it does on the PC.
[Desire HD General] Spectator_0o:
VitalPlayer FTW!!!

I use VitalPlayer. Seems to play everything I thrown at it, runs really smooth and has pretty straight forward controls and options.
[Desire HD General] Luc-Tee:
MoboPlayer is working pretty nicely for me.

Good looking UI and good performance.

I had a few FC issues with some of the players in the market while watching movies, no FC on MoboPlayer so far + its free!!
[Desire HD General] SAPPH1RE:
Moboplayer is very good. Tried vplayer, but no sound when using bluetooth headset. For me, moboplayer can play my avi movies without needing any converting.

Btw, vplayer always messed up my lockscreen time. Frequently, my dhd won't turn off the screen after finished watching movies.
[Desire HD General] LeatherFace:
Vlc media player for android

guys just hold on for a month or two the big daddy is coming:eek:... vlc android:D is still in beta stages and a beta will be released soon hopefully... till then mobo player is a good alternative:p

I'm using vplayer without any issue. No problems with SE bluetooth stereo headset.

[Desire HD General] dxdestiny:

Runs a lot of video and it runs rmbv format better than rockplayer and other players.

On Moboplayer My battery drains about 7% when watching a 21min show (avi) That's not bad at all!

Dice Player is the best player for our beloved DHD.

[Desire HD General] guliavikas47:

[Desire HD General] guliavikas47:
will try dice player, never heard of it however. Been using vplayer,quite happy with it though
[Desire HD General] MACkjam:
I use VPlayer quite effectively. It plays everything I throw at it. I am also waiting for VLC.
[Desire HD General] mighty34:
vplayer is quite good unles movie has 500MB

[Desire HD General] hannth:
Try Summer Player. It can play HD film
[Desire HD General] 187j3x1:
u can try mobo player
[Desire HD General] paul.xda:
Rockplayer is a good one. There are more players on the market but i have very good battery life with the rockplayer.

You ucould also use a conversion program to convert it into an android avi that is understood by the graphic card. This gives very smooth playback and keeps the battery last longer.

Good luck with the choice.
[Desire HD General] MACkjam:
Roll on VLC...
[Desire HD General] szjohnwong:
try Vplayer and moboplayer, vplayer can plays .mts format for my panasonic camera and moboplayer cannot! :eek:
[Desire HD General] reneftw:
Does VLC play mkv files?
[Desire HD General] MACkjam:
VLC plays mkv and virtually all file types.
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
IMHO Mobo Player is the best and has best interface.... Also, it has option not to use hardware acceleration which sometimes can't correctly play some videos....

[Focus General] BenJG:
Hi All,

Just had a strange experience with my Focus. After being initially notified of the Feb update a few weeks ago (I aborted it half-way through as it got stuck), my phone then told me no update was available. Today I plugged it into my PC and it told me an update was now available. I tried to do this a few times and it went through all the steps, but at the end Zune returned an error code (80007B54) and told me the update could not be completed. Anyone know what this means? Is there a problem with my phone, the update, or Zune / my PC? I'm confused...
[Focus General] BenJG:
Sorry - got the error code wrong. It was 800705B4.
[Focus General] mcorrie1121:
One issue has been free space on your computer. Make sure you have copious amounts available.
[Focus General] BenJG:
Thanks for the reply. I have about 300GB free on my hard drive, so I doubt that's the problem. Anything else? The phone itself has about 1GB free...
[Focus General] tfouto:
The solution for some seems to be to make sure you have at least 4GB of free space on the phone.

[Focus General] JamesAllen:

[Focus General] Realdarkviper:
Ive run into the same wall, I have 4.67 gb free on my phone and 230 gb on my computer, it still wont successfully update:( this is a gong show, I hope that when NoDo comes out they have this solved
[Focus General] TJMJT:
I would assume it is because you started it previously. I bet the only solution will be a hard reset.
[Focus General] BenJG:
Hi All,

So, after clearing lots of space on my phone (had 5gb free at the end), still no luck (update failed many times), I factory reset the phone, and it then updated with no problems at all. I wonder whether part of the problem might be with some of the installed apps, or that there is some corruption issue? Anyone have ideas? Would prefer not to have to go through this again when NoDo drops...
[Focus General] mpinlacm:
Just wondering if any of the problems with the update could be due to those who added a micro sd card into their phone. Seems coincidental/logical since the focus is the only windows phone 7 device that has a micro sd slot.

I checked for an update via the Zune softare with my Focus plugged into the laptop and it said it was on the latest release. But the OS version is 7.0.7004.0 ... which looks to not be the updated version based on the previous post.

I do have a SD card installed. I'll wait a few more days and see what happens. I'd prefer not to hard reset the phone, but may not have a choice.
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Hard Reset????

Why do you feel you might have to hard reset the phone?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Since I just got my phone replaced, I tried Hard Resetting a number of times, but still no update. I figure it's the way it's being Rolled Out. I'm not near the beginning of the rollout cycle. I'll wait, and I'm sure it will arrive in due time.
[Focus General] kahibbi:
I'm not sure about the timing, but I have 2 phones (mine and my wife's) that were purchased day one back in October 2010. If there's any kind of 'timing', I would think I would be one of the earlier ones to be in the update queue if that's how they are determining the update queue.

I think about the 'hard reset' when it comes to the SD card being in the phone. Not really certain, just thinking out loud that since I put in a 32GB SD card on day one, that I would need to hard reset because of the way that the OS is sharing the internal and external memory.

The only bad experience I have had with the SD card ... and I attribute this to the SD card and not the internal storage rightly or wrongly ... is that on some music and videos but not all, it starts getting choppy in the playback. I only notice it on music at the end of songs ... like the last few seconds. But on videos, I notice it earlier in the movie than the last few minutes. Anyway, it's just me thinking about the need for a hard reset because of the use of the SD card from day one.
[Focus General] Alphamale156:
Has anyone done the update yet?

I can't seem to find anything that is related to the Focus update (other than the Omnia 7 fiasco)...so I was wondering whether or not I should update when Zune prompts me to...?

With all due respect, how do you translate "the next few weeks" into action? For those of us with SD card issues and battery icon issues with our ATT Focus this is like a death sentence. AT&T sold me the SD card and inserted it for me, and formatted it. They have already acknowledged that the battery icon issue is a well known MS problem. Why the hell should I have to wait to get these things fixed while others are getting this update. Patience my ass, we have waited long enough.
