[Q] Help!!! phone no longer showing pics or music. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the problem. I flashed a gingerbread rom but they had those stupid transitions effects thats i hate so, I flashed back to one of my back up roms. After doing so the phone no longer loads up photos in the gallery app nor does music load up in the music app. I flashed backups of different roms which these apps worked on prior to me flashing this cm7 alpha rom but the same problem was present in all my backups. How do I fix this problem? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I figured it out. It swapped sd cards with a friend of mine to see if the music and photos would load up and they did so the problem is with the sd card and not the phone thank God. Thanks for the help anyway Freeza.

Try clearing cache of HTC Album and/or 3D Gallery, or get an SD rescanner app from the market to force android to do a media scan for your stuff.
You also may want to mount your SD card in Windows and check for errors.

Ok thanks, ill give those a try.

Problem loading widgets after a reboot

Hi guys,
I've flashed many roms many times and this is an issue i've never seen before and I haven't figured out how to fix.
I ran into this issue with CM7, Redemptive Revo 2.2, and Re-Engineered so it doesn't appear to be ROM specific. I also ran into the issue with LauncherPro, Go Launcher and ADW Ex so it doesn't seem to be launcher specific either.
Basically the issue is that after setting up my widgets and rebooting the phone, all the widgets will be gone. LauncherPro will tell me 'Problem loading widget' for every widget while Go Launcher will just not display them.
I've re-installed Revo after a full wipe, installed Go Launcher from the market and I still ran into that issue late list night so I'm really confused as to what could be causing this.
Has anyone ever ran into an issue like that? I'm not sure what more I could do, I did a full wipe (dalvik included), re-installed the launcher from the market (no titanium restore) and still after a reboot all the widgets are gone.
Thank you
You didn't per chance move your apps to the sd card, did you?

I do have an app partition on my SD card but I didn't manually move apps to the SD card. That being said though, I know some roms (CM7 for sure) automatically decide where an app gets installed so maybe some of them did get installed to the SD card.
I did a backup of my important files on my SD card and re-partitionned it. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
Well now I'm completely baffled... I wiped my SDCard, did a full wipe of the phone. Installed rEVOlution 2.2, installed my apps via appbrain, setup my widgets, rebooted, and after the reboot all my widgets are gone again...

Check to make sure Appbrain didn't put those apps back on your sd card (if they were even there to begin with).
Ahh I didn't think about that. I checked and the skin for my audio manager widget was on the SD card as well as my poker game. Maybe the fact that the widget was using a skin on the SD card caused the launcher to have issues loading the widgets.
I rebooted twice and the widgets reloaded fine every time so that might have fixed it.
Yea Widgets can't be on the SD

Sorry to bump an old thread here but, pray tell, would any of you guys know of a solution/workaround for someone who has just the exact same problem, but with widgets which are ALL stored in the onboard memory (along with all the other ~650 apps that I already find essential -and this just because I'm waiting to get my class-10 32Gb microSD tomorrow to transfer them to a sd-ext2 partition, don't want to repeat the same process of moving all those apps one by one again.. And even with all that the DS still has more than 250Mb available with the default partition layout. Gotta love this thing. ^^) ??
Been looking everywhere, but no one seems to have a guaranteed, sure-fire, bulletproof way of getting rid of this annoying bug..
(Or I'm just looking in the wrong places -or handling it like a noob. Could very well be. I've had that DS for barely a month now, but it caused me more than half this time period's nights to be totally sleepless, spending the night away tweaking it just right.. xD And now that I was reaching near perfection, this stupid bug pops out of its box ! )

Just flashed CM6, few issues..

I have CM6 and I have a few issues and questions. First, I recovered by backup with Titanium after I flashed CM6 and Gapps. Before I had almost all of my apps on my SD card and everything worked fine. When I restored, everything was placed on the phone. A few apps weren't even showing up under my downloads in the market app. I then moved everything back to my sd card and apps with shortcuts updated, but widgets and swype are not showing up, even after moving them back to the phone.
How do I get the new version of android market for CM6? I tried downloading an app through the markets site on my computer but it did not download, or get forwarded to my phone, for some reason.
Which kernel should I use to overclock? Ive read a few posts and comments about a few kernels and some apparently cause more bugs and issues.
Thank you.
EDIT: Ive managed to find solutions to most of my issues. The only problem I'm having now is apps not installing from the Market website. Im using CM6 and flashed 2.2.11 of the market app to my phone. Whenever I hit install on the site it claims to download but nothing is reaching my phone.
That happened to me the only solution i found for mine was formating the sd card. First you should try to fix-permissions n then reboot if that dosent work id suggest backing up your sd data on ur comp n formating

[Q] Phone reboots when opening music files ARHD

Hey.
Just an open question to see whether anyone is having similar issues with their freshly upgraded ARHD One X's.
Having run a (near) perfect install, the phone crashes when trying to open the music files in the Music application. It is able to read all of the meta data and tags of the file, including previewing the cover art and so on - but when I try to play any songs it simply quits.
I've tried the basic steps of reformatting the internal storage, clearing all the caches, etc., but turns out I was unlucky.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.

Hey xnostra,
Currently running 3.1.0.
Noticed there are a few bugs further than just playing music.
In general applications often randomly shut down. Such as using camera focus in Instagram.
Seem's odd - wondering if its just a faulty install, or whether the other guys response mirror some deeper bug?
Any advice?
Thanks!
There is no such issue with the ROM.
Format sd card (fat 32), wipe all cache, and manually flash the boot.img.
Those who have these errors usually is due to the flashing of boot.img and erasing cache.
Please reflash boot.img and erase cache before flashing the rom to avoid such problems.
Anyway there are too many threads regarding to this issue so please search first before posting.

no external storage available

Hey everyone. im running jelly bean on my nexus. i deleted all of my stuff from my "sdcard" because none of it would show up under gallery or play music. i backed it up to my computer and then sent it all back to my phone. now my gallery says "no external storage available". im not too sure what went wrong, but does anyone know how to fix it? i downloaded "quickpic" on the play store and it shows my gallery fine, i guess i just would rather use the stock one. just not sure if anyone knows a solution to fix it. im on twitter as spdivr1122 if i forget to reach here. if you can help me that would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried this, didn't work for me. Now with Jelly Bean the camera doesn't work because it doesn't find external storage.
Any other thoughts?

I have the Nexus S and experienced the same issue, just had to remove the USB cable or disable usb connection (i was using the phone when connected with an USB cable to my computer).
That solved my problem on a Nexus S. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus works the same.

Great thought, but this occurs when the phone is not hooked up to a computer. There is no way to turn the external storage on and off.

Hi Mate,
I was facing the same problem, in the end i flashed Franco kernel r230 GPU 384.
You can try a different kernel of your choice to try fix the problem.

I've tried now updating my Kernel and that didn't fix anything.
My next step is to go back to ICS to get my camera to work, not something I want to do, because I like the feel of JB.
Any other thoughts?
the same issue...
it seems that JelyBean had a big issue and developers don't want to accept that and solve it! Moreover they are continue totally ignoring that issue and continue building a new ROM's.... I'm frustrated!
same issue here, tried three roms with full wipe.
Sure there's not a .nomedia file floating around in there somewhere?
I faced the same problem last night, and still haven't found a working solution.
I'm a long time user of Franco.kernel on stock 4.1.1, and last night I decided to try out MiNCO ROM v4. In TWRP I wiped cache, Dalvik, did a factory reset and even wiped system before flashing the ROM. It booted normally and looked and felt great, but opening Gallery gave me the "external storage" error.
I read countless threads on this error, and tried every suggested workaround, to no avail.
Steps taken:
clear data in Gallery app and reboot
clear data in Media Storage and reboot
search for rogue .nomedia files in /storage/sdcard0/ and subdirectories (this was really an issue with a recent ROM Manager update, which I don't use)
restore Gallery.apk from a nandroid of stock ROM using TiBu
reflash gapps
reflash kernel
factory data reset
reflash ROM
I eventually felt I had no choice but to restore my nandroid of Stock 4.1.1!
Good news: no more "external storage" error
Bad news: hello, square one! :crying:
I hope some of the steps above work for at least some of you similarly afflicted, but I'm stumped...
This is the solution to your problem, I guess.
SD?

Are you flashing everything from the card?, try to do it from the internal memory, so the installation sets the internal memory as the second storage device (internal or whatever) and the card as an external device

In fact i had the same problem a few days ago, and what i said worked, just be sure to backup your data and everything, then flash the rom from internal memory, the gapps are optional as the backup has them, then restore the backup, on the next reboot you should see everything as you left it, go to your gallery and the toast should not appear anymore, try it:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Gallery issue

Ok I looked around and things weren't quite matching up to the problem i'm having.
I recently rooted my S2 and flashed Revolt JB rom which I absolutely love.
But I cannot go into my gallery, when I do it loads a bit, then it freezes and my phone reboots, while every other person with the gallery issues it just goes to the home screen.
I tried removing DCIM folders from internal and SD
Tried removing the SD completely
Tried clearing cache and data on gallery app
I really really don't want to revert back to stock and unroot, so please help me with this problem.
have you tried a different gallery app, also try moving all your pictures /data/files etc anything you want backed up and then format your sd card and then transfer everything back see if it helps ?
I tried a different gallery app, but i'm going to try and remove all the data/files
I just noticed I tried removing the SD card completely, the issue isn't the sd card, so is there any data files in my internal storage I can move without there being any issues?
Actually the "gallery issue" does reboot phones.
Your sd card is out, so that's good....but you also need to transfer off your phone and delete every video and pic you have on your internal sd storage and the issue should be gone. Maybe you have a video on there that you've missed???
And you definitely are using twrp 2.6.1.0 right?
Good luck!
