Hello,
My 9090 has been changed, and I reinstalled everything.
I get from time to time a message "Notification error" "Impossible to execute My Documents\Data\pCTimer.exe".
Has someone got this file, in the same folder or one else ?
Where should it come from, and what's the use ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean-Jacques
I really dont know what is that.. but sure you can try to backup and delete the file from Windows\Startup
The fact is I miss this file, there is no data folder in My Documents :shock:
Anyone who has got the file PCTimer.exe, how did you ?
Feel free to send a link or any info.
Jean-Jacques
Did a hardboot and reinstalled.
Data folder dtill missing, but no more warning. 8)

Some program was at some time installed into your "My Documents\Data" directory, and added itself to your notification database. You've since removed the application, but the removal didn't get rid of the database entry, which is why you were getting this error.
You could have gotten a utility like Anoton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic (Look at http://www.antontomov.com), which would allow you to look at all the entries in the Notification database and even remove the offending entry.
This would have saved you hard resetting your device.
I've had a similar problem with eWallet 4.0 installed on my SD card, where I'd get an error like that if my XDA shut off before I closed eWallet.
Came across a very odd problem - when I try to create a new folder in my 'local drive' (not the storage drive) my Hermes freezes up - well not QUITE a freeze, everything goes
v e r y s l o w .... and text entry stops working in whatever app I've tried to use - either Explorer or Total Commander.
Only solution I've found so far is a soft-reset... other file operations on the local drive (renaming files etc.) work fine! Also everything works fine on the Storage Drive - but if I try to either:
1. make a new folder or
2. rename the folder (that got named 'new folder' by explorer) after a soft-reset
- on the local drive, the damn thing freezes up.
Anyone else experience anything similar?
Only running apps / today plugs are SPB Mobile Shell, AEB button, Slide2 unlock... will try in SPB's "safe mode" and report back.
Well post in the Schaps thread for starters...
yeah?... thought it might be easier to deal with here. ok will add it in there...
Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem since i first rooted my Nexus GSM: When using the camera, the clicking sound appears, but there is no new thumb in the corner and no picture saved in the DCIM/Camera folder. If I'm trying to do a video, the app crashes.
If somebody sends me a picture in Whatsapp, I see the litte thumb, but if i click it, nothing happens (and of course - no picture is saved on the phone).
I check the permessions for the camera and the DCIM-folder and I let the RecoveryMod fix all permissions. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
First I installed Revolution HD ROM, today I did a reset and installed AOKP ROM. Problem stays the same.
I hope you can help me!
EDIT: Checked data & media, too.. everything is rwxrwx--x
Ok, I fixed it.
If anybodye else got this problem: I simply deleted the DCIM & WhatsApp-Folder.
Don't know why i didn't try that before -.-
Sorry guys
permissions the cause
hi, i had the same problem. PERMISSIONS SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE....
I backed up and restored my memory with the tool kit.
Under "BACK UP OPTIONS" i selected "3. backup you Internal Storage [virtual SD Card]"
The only way i have been able to get around it is by changing the name of the dcim folder as i was unable to delete it.
note: i have also had various other problems with other apps. these apps had folders that were restored via the toolkit. in some cases all i had to do was rename the permission locked application folders. in other cases i had to rename their folder and create a new one with the original naming and sub folders
Wondering if anyone can help...
on JB, stock google apps and system apps won't recognize my SD Card at all, while outside apps have no problem recognizing it...?
for example, stock Gallery app won't bring up my pictures, however Quick Pic has no problem. Root Explorer has no problem, Titanium Backup has no problem...but trying to access music or custom notifications for gmail/sms won't show up in the system apps (gmail, mms, etc).
another thing is when I plug my phone into my computer, none of my old files are there (but like I said they show up just fine with Root Explorer or any other file explorer).
I've tried every JB Rom available for Toro, yes I've tried SuperWipe, I've done it all.
Any ideas, fellas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Same issue here....looking for a solution...
The files are definately there...I can open them from the device but not via USB and not using Gallery. Its as though its a permission issue but I ran a fix permissions using ROM Manager but no joy....
having the same issue too. hope to get solution soon.

logged in.
files are definitely still there bc, as i said in OP, I can view them with Root Explorer and other file managers. Only with stock apps and system apps it seems to not see them.
i think it's a media server issue but i'm not educated enough on how to fix it

Hi efrant
Thanks for the suggestion. Gave it a go (tried it twice) but unfortunately it hasn't made any difference.
I'm having the same problem... I did notice that not everything under /data/media had media_rw as the owner/group but fixing it didn't fix the media server issue.
It's definitely a media server issue though as from what I've read it's responsible for listing the files when connected via MTP/USB so I haven't found a fix for it.
I've always thought MTP was flaky. I use ADB to transfer any files back and forth.
Downloading any SDCard rescan app doesn't seem to work... but what I have noticed that if you go to Settings -> Apps -> Running and look under Media, you should see that the service is stuck in the restarting state...

Sejanus,
Mine is restarting too.
I have noticed that if I use a file manager to duplicate an old file (e.g. photo) then I can access it...It looks like some sort of weird permission issue although I have tried all sorts of things to sort the permissions.
I'm using the GNex Toolkit V7.0 to pull everything from my virtual SD card /sdcard and then I'm going to delete everything, reboot, then push everything back to it, reboot, then see if that fixes it.

I just tried, and it didn't work. Double checked, there was no file with a different user/group.
It seems that now my Media is not restart anymore, however I still can't see my files, neither through Google Music / Galery (although some show up), nor using USB to computer (only a few folders show up).
Therefore, nothing yet.
Any clues guys ?
Probably a solution! (at least it did work for me)
Guys, for those having issues with Media process, where Pictures & Musics don't show up, here's the solution that worked for me:
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21746289&postcount=2 (thanks Chrono_Tata).
Based on what Chrono_Tata wrote, I decided to create a ".nomedia" file in my main personal directory, where contains pictures, musics, personal files and so on.
(For those not familiar with Linux, the ". (dot)" in the beginning of the filename is very important! It means that it's a hidden file. You can create it through ES File Explorer)
For testing purposes, I copied some musics / pics to directories out of that my structure.
Then, stopped and cleaned data for: Gallery, Google Music and Media . Afterwards, restarted phone.
Bingo. It did work, and I could see the pics/musics outside my main directory (although it takes a while to re-scan everything, so wait! Gallery and Music will show nothing until scan is complete).
Well, after I realized it did work, I continued in the following way:
1) Delete the previous ".nomedia" file that I created
2) Create a new one under some sub-directory.
3) Repeat process for re-scan
I did it until I found which directory had an issue (btw, my pictures directory).
I think it might be related to thumbs.db file created by Win, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I still have to check carefully my structure to find the issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Adriano.
Nice one!
For some reason the same worked with me. I seemed to have some 0k files that were perhaps causing issues. I used your process to clear things out.
Thanks Adriano!

Basically resolved this by
1) Creating a new directory in /sdcard/DCIM and moved all photos from /sdcard/DCIM/Camera to this directory
2) Placed .nomedia files in almost every directory in /sdcard except the obvious ones (/sdcard/DCIM/Camera being one of them)
3) Copied a months worth of photos from /sdcard/DCIM/Camera_bkup to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera, rebooted the phone, checked the gallery to see if all the photos now appeared
4) Repeated until /sdcard/DCIM/Camera_bkup was empty... in the process I removed a bunch of older pictures that were legacy from a non-Android cellphone that I copied over from my first phone
This was after I fixed the media_rw/media_rw permissions that I found as when I used the GNex Toolkit to dump my SDCard and then tried to restore it, all the files had root/root user/group permission set.
There was also an issue with timestamps of some photos where they were actually placed in the future by a few days, which was annoying because as I slid back from a picture I had just taken to the gallery it would show me some other picture then the one I had just taken. This got resolved as the wrong timestamped photos entered the past.
I was on an MCR JB build... I hope I don't have to go through all these hoops when CM10 comes out.

It definitely is. I'll have files missing from the MTP listing, but when I go in and look on my phone, the files are clearly there. MTP is janky at best.
This has been driving me nuts, since when the I/O update came out I flashed and had the same issue, just reverted to AOKP from nandroid.
I have partially fixed the issue by going into Recovery and fixing permissions, now I can see and select ringtones and most my camera pictures. Still many files are not showing on gallery, but I guess its progress .
Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried 4.1.1 and still had the issue, I just reverted to a nandroid b/u of ICS.
i think this issue is caused because the storage is named "sdcard0" the normal should be "sdcard" i tried to change the storage name but "sdcard0" is reed only, so i can't change the name with root explorer maybe someone can try to rename it and see if this issue will be fixed.
any thing let us know because this issue is being annoying.

Having the same issues... wasting the WHOLE day troubleshooting this issue w/o any luck so far... I think I will end up going back to ICS and be happy with it until a solution is apparent. So annoying...! Jelly Bean is sooo fast!
Dear all,
I have been using RMN5 for a while and this is the most f**cking annoying error in this phone (or MIUI's error - i got it in my LG F180L running MIUI7 a long time ago and it happened too)
Every time i connected the phone to PC, i got this problem, I've followed the tips on XDA about disable media storage and download (force stop only in RMN5) and reboot, ok it fixed for a while, but not for long, next time i connect, it happen AGAIN.
I'm so tired of this sh*t and want to get rid of it.
Please, somebody please show me the way.
Thank you
Don't disable those apps instead go to the app settings media storage and download and clear both cache and data, hopes this will solve the problem and move this post to question and answer thread. It belongs there.
you disabled critical system app and complained why you get error messages
This is the Android Media Scanner, looking for files to index on your storage.
Some options are:
Try creating a file called '.nomedia' in every folder, and the problem should dissapear. In that case you may have a corrupted file somewhere, so try to delete the .nomedia file in some of the suspected folders to see if the problem comes back (or google something like 'android.process.media .nomedia' for a better explanation or solution.
You can also enable debuggind (via developer options), to inspect the problem with adb logcat, or to install a logcat related app from Play Store, in case the dump that should appear at the time of the error contains some hint.

I'm having this issue after updating my Samsung GT-N8013 to lineageos 16.0. When you say to put a .nomedia file in every folder, do you litterally mean every single folder on both the tablet and sd card or a certain level of folder?

The .nomedia flag file will stop the scan in the directory it's placed and all of the directories contained in it.
I ended up reinstalling the the OS 16.0 rom for my Samsung N8013. It took a total of running the installation 3 times but it finally became stable.
