HELP, phone lost my ringtones, pictures, notifications, and music.

I have a Droid RAZR MAXX with ICS 4.0.4 installed.

As of yesterday I have lost all the custom files I had put on the phone.

They are still there as I can use the file browser to see them, but the phone lost them.

I have tried other online suggestions of deleting the Media Store Cache and having it rebuild the database.

I have also done a factory reset and this still has not fixed the problem.

I have also tried the app ScanMedia to no avail.

I have the media in the root dir under Notifications, Pictures, and Ringtones

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Try placing the files in the directory SD Card / media / audio / ringtones or notification (Depending on the file you want to use media for) and then reboot device.

Photos doesn't need to be in a specific location so maybe you should try QuickPic from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSw...

Also you can try Clearing the system cache...

Make sure you back up your data before doing this!

  • Power the phone off
  • Power On while holding down the Home key
  • When exclamation point icon appears press BOTH volume keys
  • Use volume keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and tap the power button to select
  • Wait for it to finish and select reboot system

A big Whoops Wildman i didn't think you had to back up the data doing a (System Cache Clear.! i thought that was for a F.D.R only)  I never did.. maybe i should have though. Not backing up the Data is that what can cause the Apps to act up then. or Something in the System.?
