Multiple File References messing me up

---

So I have this strange problem that is causing my Ringtones not to work.

I go into settings >> sound >> and click to select the default ringtone.

In there some of my Ringtones are listed 3 times.

These are MP3's that I have on my Ext SDcard in a drirectory.

If when I am trying to select the ringtone, I select the first 2 of the 3 of any particular ringtone, the "preview" does not work at all. The 3rd version of the ringtone works with the preview but the phone won't work with it.

I select the thrid version and close settings and try to call my phone. Only vibration. I look back in the settings and the first entry is selected.


So I took out my ext sdcard and only 2 versions of the file name show up now and neither of those will play, preview, or work.

I downloaded Rescan Media Root and rescanned media but nothing gets rid of these Ghost entries.

Any ideas?

The built in phone ringtones are entered only once and they work.

Try removing the ext. sd card and rebooting the phone. Also while it is removed, go to settings and then applications and clear data of the Music Player app and Media Storage. You can find them under the "All" tab in applications manager.

Thanx! That did it. It was the media storage.
