gallery problem !! - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

whats up guys ?!
I have a strange problem with my arc .
today i want to open the gallery suddenly there isn't any file ... even with the music player there is no songs .
but when i use a file manager or connect my phone to my pc I can find everything .
what should I do ?

I seem to be having the same problem.

Try clearing data in settings and if that fails pop out the battery for 10 seconds.

[Q] CM9 - How to update my music library

Hello,
My music player doesn't detect the new music I copied from my pc to my sdcard.
If I open the music player I only see the old music, but not the new music I recently copied to my mobile.
I already delete "data" by going to Settings/Apps and rebooted my mobile multiple times, but it still doesn't detect my new music.
I put the new music files to /music on my card, like the other files and the files aren't broken or sth like that. Normal mp3 files with id3 tags.
Can someone help me?
I'm running the latest CM9 on my Wildfire S.
What music app is that? Is that the one that comes in the ROM?
I suggest you try Apollo or the Google Play music app.
I'm using the stock cm9 music app,
already tried apollo and googlemusic app but without any success
I have the same problem on the Alpha1. Is it a bug? The sd card not reindexing media files after a remount from the PC?
aah, good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem here
yes, I'm running the alpha1, too.
maybe you are right *se-nsei. and it's a bug.
Any idea how to fix it?
I'm really get tired of listening to the same music over and over again
I have no problem with that im using google play.
Fc when im using stock cm9 music but the problem its not about music library.

Try this app
for a temporary fix use this app! It worked for me!
Rescan SD Card!
The "rescan sd" app works. I think its a good solution for now. I hope it will be fixed with the next Update. Hope that the ums bug will be fixed soon, too.
Thanks for your answers guys
I think Dev Tools has a media scanner that you can run which SHOULD update the music library and gallery but haven't tested that with music on cm9 yet (Worked on cm7).
Solution is here !!!!!!!!!!!!

1. go into settings >> apps >> all apps >>appollo >> clear app data and cache
2. reboot the phone

It is more than two years since the last post, the author must have found a way by now. Anyway the OP said he tried what you proposed in his first post.

The .nomedia file is on the root of you sdcard, so you're half right. Might want to try looking at it through your computer because not all file explorers can see hidden files.

I started seeing people talking about the continuous charging symbol yesterday. You should probably check in the ROM's thread to see if there's a fix. I don't wan to say it's the ROM without knowing. Glad your media's back though.

[Q] No images/videos in gallery

Hello people!
I am having problem with my HTC One V. My phone was working fine but all of a sudden it's gallery is showing "No photos or Videos found" and the Music player is also not scanning any music files. But the fiiles are shown in the ES file explorer.
My phone is not rooted, and neither did I install any app recently. Ya but connected my phone to my laptop.
This problem has occured quite a few times earlier also, but used to rectify on its own in a day. But now it is pissing me off, it's been a week.
Tried restarting, removing the storage card etc. But won't help.
Please help!

No, it won't delete your files... it just cleared your data/thumbnails and rebuild them. I think this will help your music player too. You can do the same for Music player - settings - apps - all - music - clear data

Yep, everything is on the ad card. I can access it from the file explorer.
I am wondering if I should backup my data and then format my phone.
It is showing up one more problem, I cannot download a single app from the play store. It shows downloading, and downloading and nothing moves on.
EDIT: If I format my phone, I can download all my paid apps again because they are linked to ny google account,right ?
I once had the exact problem ..but Im not able to remember because I'm becoming old ......
This may work
Move all your stuff on your sd card to your pc
Format your sd card and put em back again .....
Maybe the problem is with the sd card
Just WAIT FOR A OTA UPDATE it will fix the bug ,I had that problem too

I was thinking to do the same, but worried if it could affect my installed apps ??
I'll also try shifting some of my pics to the phone storage, lets see if it is showing the pics in there.. if it works then I'll format the sd card, if not will format the phone!
U can install them again! whats the problem ????

And what about the data in apps, such as in Notes Lite I have a number of important notes, and it wont even perform a backup
Then don't do a reset just wait until it gets solved by itself ...but if that didn't work ....reset
If u don't have patience do this...move all the data to the pc as in images and all....reboot phone browse gallery
So that the cache is built
Then.move the images back ,reboot browse and try...

plzz help media server

Hi plzz help me tried 3 days but nothing wrks.tried format my sd still media server eats my battery 35 to 50 percent n keep the device awake..what to do any software plzz appreciated...
Is your Phone rooted?
if yes--- Try Installing Greenify...
Open Greenify--- Add Apps - Select the desired app & then when the app throws a message like can't freeze hibernate system app - Click on insist!
I think titanium backup has freeze app option too.
Also try All in one tool kit...
You could easily disable startup apps...
But you'll need root!
Well tried greenify still same yes m rooted...what to do now

install dev igio90 app "android tweaker" from play store..open app and go to battery and disable media scanner
Doent work next software plzz
Well from my experience you are on a stock rom but rooted ?
If yes try to downlod this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
And disable the media scanner if the problem gone you can use it, but each photo or media file you download you need to enable the scanner again to appear in the gallery etc
But if you want something better download android revolution hd rom stock based but smoother and fasterand since 5 months i didn't notice any battery drain at all

Chances are, there's a corrupt media file. Check all your media files and see.

I m hving problem in only specific rom version not in all rom.and none of above software works.and this is my fav software version thats y needed to handle media server any help regarda
The MediaServer jumps to the top of the usage, when music is constantly being played, or the scanner gets stuck with a certain file. Make sure all the files have proper tagging, filenames and aren't corrupt to begin with. This can include pictures, music, videos, and such. Corrupt pictures cause huge issues. I usually backup all my files from the SD Card on my desktop, and then format ( external SD ) or just delete all the files, use ForeverGone ( SD Card Cleaner ) and then restore the files.
Have you tried autorun
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
Of This doesn't help you might have to flash some other rom...

Which rom/os you are using? Either your problem is not about hardware. Check the file properties if they're System Protected (Windows), these files mostly won't shown in phone, this is said to be virus problem. Which is the company of your memory card? Because cheap mc's from unknown vendors can cause such problem!

I don't think that Linux<>Android really needs a antivirus and it is useful for scan a virus, I'm talking about your PC's or Lappie's if & only if it's windows in case you've you've had plugged?
