Hey all,
i am having some strange problems with my SD card on my Gnex.
A while ago i started with Android Revolution HD, then i swtiched to AOKP.
At the beginning i had no problems. Everything went smooth.
But after i upgraded AOKP the 4th or 5th time i experienced something strange.
My gallery only found the pics i made after the flash. The other pics in the DCIM folder were there but the gallery app didn't show them.
No biggy i thought, maybe its fixed in the next AOKP version. But when Milestone 2 was released it wasn't fixed. At this time i wanted to try a different and used FoxHound Rom and i was surprised that everything was working normally there.
Then 2 or 3 weeks later i switched back to AOKP and the problem was there again and still exist.
Later i wanted to try the n7player and guess what, the player told me i dont have any mp3 files on my device when i scanned my device. But i could select them manually and n7player played it.
QuickPic only shows me folders when i select "show hidden".
Is there any way to fix that ?! I already tried to delete the folders and create them again but this didn't help.
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has troubles with there mp3s not playing. For a couple of days my music player would play music then all of a sudden it would say file not supported or something along the lines of that. Where it would no longer play my music. At first thought it was the player so I downloaded another player and it said file didn't exist. The files are obviously there as I just played it a day ago.
After rebooting my phone it would play again. Then same thing would happen a couple of days later. So then I tried unmounting my sd card and remounting. That works as well for a day. The same thing it wouldn't read or play the mp3s. Is it my sd card (stock sd btw) or just a buggy phone? Thanks in advance? I'm rooted using syndicate rom, was happening b4 I rooted as well. Thought it would help it doesn't.
I have this same issue
I can still access the SD Card... add / remove files via ASTRO or Drop Box...
Just any attempts to play media fail (even ringtones / notification sounds)
At one point someone said to clean the SD Card contacts... I tried that, no improvements.
Nothing short of an unmount-remount fixes it. Whether mounting the card to a computer or just a reboot (quick or hard works)
No one's been able to figure it out so far :/
ACS 1.1.1
Been doing it since 1.0.2
Ah. See I thought it was my phone but damn glad its a known issue. I was thinking maybe a better sd card instead of a class 2. But may need to do some digging, what r ur thoughts about having just the music files on root of sd card. Instead of folders so that the phone doesn't have to dig so far?
Unfreeze or restore the drm content thingy. This solved it for me a couple months ago

Its an issue with mp3s. How would I unfreeze the drm?
Delete the drm app from system/app.
Well I will update you in a day with no rebooting or unmount/remount. If this works I will give you my first child...
I deleted the drm app a while ago when k0nane suggested it... It didn't change anything for me.
It has been working for me. Nothing has gone wrong since the deletion of the drm. Also I might add that I deleted twitter as well. I saw a huge number of posts that suggested doing it. So I did that too. And no hiccups. I got a different client for that.
I do have Twitter installed... I will axe that and see what happens.
I can confirm... After uninstalling Twitter I haven't had to reboot to fix a music file issue...
Thanks for that info kwilbur3... Hopefully anyone else who runs into this will find this post
I was running CM 7.0 and now I'm running CM7.01 and every once in a while, like every month or 2 my phone apps will start crashing, saying the services are crashing and the phone just spirals down and I have to reload a backup. Even if the backup is just a couple days old it will reload and be fine for a while. This happens randomly here in San Diego but it also happened when I was in Hawaii back in March and it happened in New York in september also. But it has happened several times here at home. Not sure why, am I being spiked by someone or something, Verizon sending out something that crashes me?? Getting old dealing with it but luckily since I'm rooted with backups I can fix it pretty fast but I do lose all of my texts and anything I loaded since the backup. Weird stuff. This is the second ROM that this is happened with too, I was running the Heyitslou ROM, forgot the name right now but it happened on that too which made me try CM7.
I know my post is sorta vague but anyone else having this issue, any ideas????
Try running Fix Permissions in ROM Manager.
Tried that many times, also cleared Dalvic. It just seemes that after a while it wants to die. If other people aren't seeing this maybe it's my phone hardware??
sound like an issue with not enough free space in data data.

Just to make sure are you fully wiping or restoring system data?

It's from your /data/data folder filling up. Run "ng cache cleaner"
Actually I think I might have found the problem if this makes sense. I tried to copy some files off of my SD card and I found a bunch of read problems with my card and had to buy a new one. Could the SD card being bad make the whole phone crash?? Only time will tell if the problem is gone, if the crashing stops now with the new card. It was a kingston 32gb, Class 4. (piece of crap)

That could very well have been the problem. CM does depend on the SD card. I had the issue with force closes before. I simply copied everything from my SD card and reformatted it to FAT32, then copied everything back on to it and haven't had any issues since.
Rooted my Galaxy Nexus - Sprint today.
Not a stranger to rooting, had a nexus s and evo before that... but am having something odd going on.
Transfered pics from previous phone along with music and ringtones. They show up when I first bring a rom up (have tried 3-4 today and only installed basic stuff). Literally, you can go into the gallery app and watch the photos be found, and then start to be removed.
After a few minutes of running - none of the pics or music are visable in the gallery or google play. If I grab a file explorer program - they are all there. Also QuickPic shows the pictures.
What the heck is going on here? It's like a process is scanning the folders, seeing them and then deciding to discard the files from view.
Strange stuff.
Is it possible something on the storage card got hosed? I'd wipe it but the recovery files, backup etc are on there. I've seen some reports of this happening to others - but most say to clear data or use SDRescan - and that's not worked for me.
Was hoping I would wake up this morning and this would all have sorted itself out but no luck - anyone have any ideas?
I am also dealing with this issue.
Just uploaded a rom and kernal for the first time and copied my old Music folder and pasted it onto the phone. The File Manager sees it but when I go to the music player there's nothing there.

Rom manager wasn't there to begin with
Answer: Didn't matter/didn't come up
So - not knowing the answer yet - I was removing the .nomedia file and trying everything but couldn't get the new roms to see my pics and music. Highly frustrating and messed around for a day clearing cache, clearing program data. Still nothing. Ran SDRescan and similar programs - nothing.
By chance installed PowerAMP media player to see if it would see the music. After it did it's own scan - suddenly - everything started showing up in the play music player, apollo and gallery. Something about what it does kick started Android into seeing things. Odd.
So, What you are saying is this is caused by ROM manager? Are they aware of the issue and fixing? Would be a pain updating existing ROM's if you had to uninstall, install, uninstall, install etc....
Yeah, he released an update lastnight. The new update doesn't place the .nomedia file on the sdcard.

Did the same thing as you, I had no ROM manager on mine either. Installed PowerAMP and mine is working now also.

What I did was remove the .nomedia file from the root of the SD card then copied the media files in question to my laptop. I then deleted thos folders from the SD card and copied everything back in and it started working again.
After Rom Manager updated yesterday I went to look through my gallery and none of the pictures on my internal SD card are there. My ringtones and music aren't showing up either when I go to play them. But if I look in Root Explorer everything is still there
Anyone have any idea as to why?
I know this sounds stupid and you have probably done it, but have you tried restarting the phone? Sometimes that takes care of issues. Good Luck. Meh, I got nothin'...

Yep, I've done that. lol Thanks tho.
BUMP! I don't know which app did it, but I updated ROM manager and Google Maps yesterday and I am having the exact same issue. Songs don't load in Apollo, pictures don't load in gallery; however, they are all there when I use Root Explorer.
The external SD card works flawlessly, it is the internal files that will not load. Ironically, the "Camera," "Screenshots," and "Downloads" folders all come up in the albums with new photos and screenshots, but the OLD ones do not appear. This is odd because even when I take new photos they are stored in the same directory as my old photos, but the latter don't show up.
I mounted and unmounted internal and external SD cards. Rebooted phone, shutdown phone (with battery pull), and nothing has been fixed.
Ideas?

rom manager caused it. Created a file that impedes media scanning.

Was posted in different forum, but useful. I hit this issue too. Ended up resetting and clean flashing before it was known :banghead:

Thank you. I also found this after the fact for anyone else that may want to do a fix:

Preface:
I use CM11 now for serval Month and was very happy with it. From time to time i installed a newer nightly and then M5.
Everything was quite stable and the only annoyning thing was the missing app2sd function (more on that later!)
M6 was released and i decided to update my phone. After the update my Phone reboots from time to time. Sometimes 4 times a day sometimes it worked the whole day without a reboot.
I also had the feeling the battery drained more then before. Next Step was update to a newer nightly (2014-05-12) this fixes the reboots! Unfortunally it came up with new problems. Now i don't have notifications and can't access the fastswitches?
The hardwaremenubutton doesn't work in apps anymore but wakes the screen when phone is in standby. Positive sideeffect: Battery now has really longlife (4 days 25% remaining!)
Good but i like to have the originally functions back even if it drains more battery.
Somebody hints for me what to do next?
Iv'e installed M6 again but behavior still is the same.
complete wipe data/cache ?
revert back to M5 ?
dumb me didn't made a backup-2-sd before the initial M6 upgrade!!!
Ohh app2sd Problem i mentioned earlier. Since CM11 there is no App2SD anymore i understand that this is not really a bug it's differently handled in Andriod 4.4+
I read about it on XDA and that with linking the SD Card still can be used by Apps as a example they took GMusic. It has an additional /data/ folder on the sdcard, the app recognizes this and you can store your downloaded googlemusic on the sdcard.
I've checked this with ES Explorer /sdcard/Andriod/data/com.google.android.music/files is empty and /external_sd/Android/data/com.google.android.music/files is filled with my music folder.
My Problem is that Android or CM11 still counts the 5GB to the internal space left, means installing new Apps is impossible because the 5GB music is counted.
Somebody an advice how i can fix this? Another kernel with the old app2sd functionally around?
Thanks a lot for all of your or any answers!
cheers jorval
