| Jan 1, 2014 at 0:39 | comment | added | gnomed | @Izzy I am pretty sure this happened on my nexus 4 pre-kit kat. That is a good point though, I have noticed that change to the media scanner as well in kit kat. Oh well, I'm stumped. | |
| Dec 31, 2013 at 16:04 | comment | added | Izzy | One more note: If my guess was correct, and your devices run 4.4.2, you might have hit a Kitkat bug (Google Translate version). The work-around described there is pretty much the same you're already using. | |

| Dec 31, 2013 at 0:21 | comment | added | Izzy | You are probably right about the app not triggering the mesia scanner. However, a reboot should trigger it. Let me make a guess: all affected devices already run Kitkat? Because starting with that, media scanner does no longer do a full scan AFAIR (at least the apps triggering it no longer can do so in the "old way"). If I remember correctly, media scanner must now be pointed to the changed files directly. | |

| Dec 30, 2013 at 22:24 | comment | added | gnomed | @Izzy I added it using ES file explorer and copied it over from cloud storage (Ubuntu One). ES signs into U1 for me and I do everything in app from there. This is usually how I always add the file since I know it is always on my cloud storage. I just tried plugging it in, removed the file, unplugged and replugged, added file, unplugged and it was there in my ringtones without reboot. I guess the app is not triggering a media scan correctly, still weird that it doesnt pick it up on reboot till I clear the media storage app memory :/ :/. File cant be corrupt, I just re-copied it now... :( | |
| Dec 30, 2013 at 19:57 | comment | added | Izzy | Why it doesn't turn up immediately is easy: that requires the media scanner to add its name/location to its database. But a reboot should have triggered that definitly, so something seems to be wrong there indeed. How did you add the file? Have you tried doing so via MTP/UMS (while the phone is connected to your computer)? | |
