So I won't bore you with all the issues I had actually GETTING my Shift, since it's not the issue at hand, but it was something else.
So, you can imagine, that I was pretty psyched about it. I charged it up and it flew! so much faster than my Hero- which I had purchased in August with the intent of replacing if these Knight/Speedy/Shift rumors ended up being true.
3 days later I got myself a used 32 gb Kingston MicroSD card and took everything off my 16 gb Sandisk, stuck it on there (plus some more music) and.. disaster. My phone was being crazy- my custom notifications were still showing up but playing the wrong music, apps kept disappearing- it was crazy. So I bit the bullet and wiped the card with an app I found (forget the name) and, JUST TO BE SAFE, factory restored the phone itself. Why did I do that, you ask? Well, the issue seemed to persist even when I erased the card completely on my pc, so I was afraid that the transfer of app data or something (OK, so I sound like an idiot- I'm a NOOB fer goodness sake!) had caused issues.
All seemed well until my phone, today, wouldn't let me take any photos-it kept saying my file permissions were wrong. I did some lurking here and saw that I wanted the permissions to be drw. They were! the only thing that seemed off was that the file on the sd card was "dcim" instead of "DCIM" as it had been on my last phone.
Using Astro, I erased the dcim file and, lo and behold, after opening the camera app it let me take a picture. looking in Astro I found a folder called "DCIM" and felt very proud of myself.
Until I went to my gallery and saw a little grey box instead of the photo I wanted.
Confused, I tried to take another picture and it worked fine. I closed the gallery, waited and looked again- still a grey box. I decided to deal with it later and opened GDocs to retrieve something I needed only to be told "App is not on SD card" or somesuch. Even though I later looked on Astro and it was there.
GDocs still won't open.
Another issue I'm having is that in my music player, but not in the folder itself, there is a double of every song and it says it "can't play that type of audio file."
It seems to me that I did something stupid with the SD card and would love some help. I realize that this post probably belongs elsewhere, but as I'm new to the site I have no idea where to put it.
Thank you for any help you may be able to give!
