Have you already looked to make sure it isn't accidently hidden, or accidently moved into a folder?

FamouzStarz · 12-30-2009, 03:52 PM

ive looked not there, although now i have separate, pic, ringtones, music folders, but id rather have the one media folder that way when its selected it will open up the media center thing and i can choose from there

I'm not familiar with what you are looking at. Could be I'm just behind the curve. But is this perhaps a matter with the theme you are using versus a theme you were using before?

using stock theme, although i did create another folder place the ringtones, videos, voice notes, all i want is my media folder back you know the one you click on and up pops all your videos music all that jazz

I don't know. As I say, I'm behind the curve with 8820/4.5.0.139. You may be just dealing with a fact of life with the new OS. See what others say. Or look for aftermarket themes. But then I really don't know.

I have .230 and still have the folder. When you installed os5, did you upgrade or do a clean install? I did a 4.7 to 5.0.0.230 upgrade and it carried over. On my gf's curve 2 her native os5 doesn't have the icon and I created one for her just like you - it doesn't have the same effect though as what we are accustomed to. I'm thinking perhaps the new os5 doesn't include this icon any longer.

FamouzStarz · 12-31-2009, 01:26 PM

i upgraded from 4.7 like you did but the icon did not carry over, i prefer how the old icon worked but i guess i just have to deal with it until a official release comes out, i guess its the price i pay to run 5.0 :(

I would bet that it is hidden and what i would do is show all icons check all folders till you find it, as a second thing is i woud try another theme.

When I went to OS 5 mine went away as well. One of the reasons I went back to 4.7. It was not hidden they broke them up individually instead of being lumped together.

same here now i have all the split up icons, which sucks but oh well hopefully with an official 5.0 release it will fix or maybe with the new leaked version?

Create new folder called Media. Move all the stuff you want in there. Pictures, Ringtones, Videos, etc. Done.

already did that, as explained a few posts up, how ever myself and other users like how the media icon use to bring up the media browser per-say, that is what i was looking to get back

What's the "Media Browser"?

well i just called ina the media browser but you know when you click on that working media icon it rbing up your music ringtones voice notes videos you scroll left or right well that thing

Well, there are a few words in English in your post, so I think that I can decipher it a little bit.

But I'm wondering how this is different from creating a folder, naming it Media, selecting the Media Icon for the folder, and moving the individual icons into that folder.

Doing that (as suggested above) offers the same functionality.

well for one, id rather have one icon that does what it should and not having a folder with like 6 icons, and i also believe that the ease of the media browser thing was simpler, once you where in it you could back out and switch to different things yes the folder way is similar but you back out to the folder then click on a different icon then go into that app, maybe i was just used to having the one icon oh well any other users that lost it feel the same way?

Motorcycle Mama · 01-07-2010, 05:24 PM

But the Media Icon is just specialized folder. ???

So, I'm still missing what functionality you think you are losing. ??

having all in one items in one spot, arrrrrrrh i just want it back

Motorcycle Mama · 01-07-2010, 05:59 PM

Ok. Whatever. I'm lost.

Step 1: Create a new Folder
Step 2: Name it Media
Step 3: Select the MEDIA icon as the icon for the folder
Step 4. MOVE the Music, Videos, Pictures, Ringtones, VoiceNotes icons into the folder you just created.

It's the SAME THING. All the icons in in the same place. ???
