Ambience tones lost (maybe SD card related?) [duplicate]
After rebooting the device, one of my ambiences disappeared, the other was still there but the tones had reset.
No, I didn't uninstall the tutorial.

Still happening after yesterday's update. (Also happened with the update.)
Interestingly, it did remember the ones that were “no sound” (not on the update, but on the reboot after the update), now losing only the ones with custom tracks.

Here's an idea: maybe it's because my tone is in the SD card, and that's not mounted yet at the time the environment is loaded?
lalomartins ( 2014-07-28 11:01:36 +0300 )editHi. Well if the SD card is not mounted, it means that the (audio)file is not available and hence cannot be played back. I think the ringtones are directly loaded from the path where the indexer found it, so you might want to make ringtones available from the internal storage of your Jolla.
Venty ( 2014-07-28 14:02:26 +0300 )editVenty, it's a bug nonetheless; if using tones in SD is not supported, that should at least be indicated (maybe a warning when you select them, or don't even allow it). I think it's meant to be supported and it's just an unintended timing issue that it doesn't work. Or I could be wrong and it has nothing to do with the SD :-)
lalomartins ( 2014-07-28 22:10:16 +0300 )editAs stated in my Bug report ambience ringtones not persistent this bug persists and storage location should really be no problem, if I don't remove the sdcard. And just made the check. Same file on internal storage works fine, but I really don't want that I need to copy/move my file I want to set as ringtone to the internal storage. Maybe this could be done automatically in some ~/.ringtones directory so the crawler wouldn't find it twice because its a hidden directory. And if changed, it can be deleted from internal storage again, so to prevent the phone from filling up with music files.
That really would be a simple and easy solution.
