Help music transfer trouble

[chefster74]

Good morning
I've been having a problem adding music to my sd card. Yes, I'm using a 32 gig card, but have added music on it already. When I have my 860 plugged into my pc and I go to the folder marked my music and pull up my music from my pc it seems to be doing a transfer. However once the transfer is finished and I unplug the phone from the pc the music isn't there. I'm not even trying to transfer Itunes music, just my music which I keep separate from Itunes. Like I said, I've already got some music on the card, and don't believe I did anything different lately. I'm using Power amp and an hour ago I even purchaced the Poweramp app. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance! I really love this forum and all of you who spend your time helping others!!!!

Try going to the media folder on the sd card, making a folder called music, and putting everything in there. And plus, I thought Ascends only supported up to 16gb? Well either way, keep us updated.

Thank you for the info, Crumbsnatcher. I did as you mentioned and still no luck. It shows that the files are transfering, but when I disconnect the usb and turn on Poweramp the music isn't there. Just shows an empty file when I plug back in and go to the my music. I am aware that many folks think that a 32 is too big, but I believe I've seen Joser say he's also running one. Somewhere, I wish I could remember where, in December I had read that I could use a 32 so I ordered one. Since my post this morning I've messed around with doubletwist. It seems complicated and a pain in my butt. I thought that maybe I could only load files in mp3 format, but not even that seems to be the case. Maybe I need a player that will play all formats since it appears that I have some music in mp4 and windows media player. I really just don't want to drag an Ipod around and love my bluetooth stereo headphones. I am totally open to any further suggestions!
I'm going to go for a motorcycle ride and forget about this for a while.

have u formated the sd card with the phone before putting music in it?

Maybe try to rescan in poweramp? Or download tunewiki, which I think is better anyways. It's been a while since I used poweramp, but I remember if you go to settings(in the app) and find something that says rescan folder/files, it recognizes new music files.

Ok, here's the end results. I did format my card, and even re-formated to double check. It appears that while I did buy a 32 gig card, it must be a very low class and just won't play with my AssEnd. So I stuck it in my camera and it seems to be working fine. I picked up a 16 gig, class 10 card and that's solved my problem completely. I wish I could remember where I had read that I could use a 32 gig card, maybe I had been staring at the Huawei flower too long, lol.

32s don't work. Says so in The Manual.

Why didn't you just try taking the card out of the phone, putting it into your card reader and copying the files that way?

The phone wont read the 32gb. The music is on there, just can't be read.

I have a Class 4 16 gb card in mine and it works great.

Ok, I was just reading the thread "Phandroid---Huawei Ascend #14 Best Android Phone". When I clicked on the Ascend I happened to look at specs. There it clearly states it'll work with up to a 32 gig card. I knew I had read it somewhere. While I'm going to stick with my 16, I wish the 32 had worked. I suppose it would've if I had bought a higher class.

I think a lot of these sites are not basing it off fact. Because I've seen a whole bunch of different sites saying different things. I really think if it's not on the actual Huawei site, We really can't say for sure.
Huawei Ascend Specs, Features (Phone Scoop) Says 16GB
Huawei Ascend full specs - Phone Arena Also 16GB.

I've also called a Metro Representative, They said that the phone CAN support a larger sized card but that it has been shown to give many complications and issues. What the guy told me, From what I understood anyways, Is that a larger card will work but the phone will not be able to utilize the whole amount of memory. In other words, It will only be able to use 16GB of it, Instead of using the full amount. X.x

That is exactly right. You can put a 32gb card in there, but you will have issues, and the phone will only recognise 16gb anyway, so why waste your money?
