Hey guys/gals, this is my first post but I've been reading these forums for months in anticipation of my great new phone: the HTC Thunderbolt. I'm really enjoying the phone overall and it's a big step up from my BlackBerry Storm 1. I am experiencing one problem, however, and I hope maybe some of you smart people might be able to help me out.
Cliffs:
1) Connected TBolt to PC (Windows XP) via USB. Selected Disk drive option on TBolt.
2) Copied some songs over to test via windows explorer, put them in the media\audio folder, ejected/disconnected, songs are there, worked great.
3) Tried to transfer more songs, everything looks good on my pc. Eject/disconnect, songs aren't on TBolt.
4) Reconnect to PC, songs I just copied in step 3 aren't there anymore, though my original test songs (step 2) are.
5) Tried again, same results.
6) Deleted all the mp3s I put on the SD card via windows explorer.
7) Eject/disconnect.....songs are still on my phone!
8) Downloaded Astro file manager, deleted, edited, moved mp3s etc. Plug back into PC and it is as if I did nothing. Check back with Astro and it's back to its original state.
9) E-mailed myself an mp3, downloaded it on my Tbolt, works great. Plug into PC and poof it's gone.
As you can see, it seems as if every time I connect/disconnect my TBolt to/from my PC my SD card goes back to what it was like after step 2. This totally bewilders me. I tried a JPEG too, and it too was not on the SD card once I unplugged my phone from my PC. I don't want to install the Vcast crap on my computer, I just want to use Windows explorer to copy/paste files onto my SD card.
Thankfully I put my AC/DC on there as my test tracks, so at least I have my most important songs on there .
Any ideas? Would it be wise to reformat? I appreciate any and all advice. Thank you for your help.
