Tells all.,. Stock issues?

thanks..and as far as setups go.... I am not running any modifications, roms, roots, flashing or whatever other tricks that most are. My sprint samsung galaxy s epic4g sph-d700 is NOT moified ANY different than the day I purchased it. 100% factory settings, not even an ota upgrade done. As far as what's happening, the music player/ers don't seem to remember some 200 tracks I've been playing since I found my mp3 download capabilities. No files exsist, even after I play them from the file, in which they only exist, through the players their instantly gone once I close the player, although they still remain in the original file they were downloaded to. The media, movie, player is doing the same with the handfull of movies I've installed. My movie player was full , like music players were, yesterday, now "no files exist", says the according app. To add all of my camera pics and image downloads are wiped clean from the gallery. If I snap a new pic it will show up in the gallery, until I close it. When I return their gone, but again still exist in its folder. I don't get it and need a bit of advise on my next move to fix. Thanks people. I hope I've explained my issue good enough for diagnosis.

Back up everything on your sd card and format the card. See if that helps

interesting problem u have there.....I would try to back up all the music and format the sd card, then try it again if that fails then I would reccommend using a friends sd card to make sure its ur epics software and not the sd card. Also if u want to try a great music player app, winamp is free and works very nicely. Good luck I hope everything works out for u.

Google Music as "stock" music app in ICS

Anyone else finding problems with this?
Noom/CradioTrainer and SpeakToIt (Assistant) are 2 apps I use that can use music/playlists on the phone, neither of these apps can find any music or playlists but both apps claim to work fine with "stock" Android music players.
These are just 2 apps I use, I'm sure others use different apps that use music on the phone, how are you finding them?
Is there anything that can be done by the user to rectify this?
is there anything I can go back to the developers with to help it work better?

The package name of the new Music app is different from the old one. The developers just need to update their apps to send the Intents to the right package.

do you know what it is?
and would it affect backwards compatibility?

Actually, nevermind, I was wrong, it's not an Intent, it's a ContentProvider that hasn't changed in ICS, so I'm not sure why apps stopped being able to query playlists...

Those apps wouldn't be able to find your music from the Google music app anyway because that music comes from the cloud. Unless you pin your music from the Google music app, those songs wont store to your phone for the other apps to pick up.

The Adidas miCoach app still picks up playlists from the Music app fine, so it must be something to do with the apps you're using.

Gallery problem

Hi. I only got issue with my gallery app.
It wont load all images in folders. Wallpapers nor all icons. I loads some fine, and videos and picasa too.
Tried refreshing and clearing cache. Also refreshMedia in FX fileexplorer.
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus

It shows images downloaded from web or dropbox. But not the unzipped images or copied from pc.
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus

Hey having a similar issue. My gallery app is only displaying photos I've taken with the camera, but not any other image files found on my SD card.
Currently running GummyNex rom.

The only method i know is to do a media scan.
If your phone is rooted you can use SAMBA to request a media scan.

Not rooted.
Tried scan in fx explorer.
No luck

Tried Settings->Apps->All-> Gallery-> Clear data?

I just had literally the opposite problem. My Gallery would show no photos on the device- just the online albums.
A "Clear Data" (in settings) and "Force Stop" fixed it. Still odd though. Also, pictures were still there, it was just like Gallery couldn't read the internal storage...

Shows sine. But not folders in folders

Hey guys, I had issues too with my gallery so I just went to market and installed Quickpic! I will never use the default Android gallery again. It is flawless and has lots of features. Hope this helps.

This is a workaround i think

Yeah and a flawless replacement for the stock gallery I think

Nice, but no picasa

Didnt wanna hard reset with all the apps im carrying.
But found fix...:: Moved all imagefolders to pc - unplugged - plugged in - and moved back..
Thanks for the help anyway..
Thread can be closed

Hello there I'm having a similar problem where if I move a jpg anywhere into the internal storage manually, including to where the camera stores images, the pictures do not show up in the gallery. I've also tried quickpic with no results. Thoughts?

[Q] ICS / 4.0.4 (.431) music library empty / led not working

I installed ICS 4.0.4 .431 (LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World Greece) a few days ago on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, It works smooth and nice, except a few small drawbacks, or is it?
First of, The led doesn't seem to be working other than when I turn on the phone or put it on charge.
It doesn't light up when I get sms/mms, facebook, gmail or any other notification. I have checked the settings in every one of these apps to see if I have missed anything, but no. everything is correct in settings. Am I missing something, or is the led not working on 4.0.4 ?
second - "music library empty" ??? WinAMP worked fine on 4.0.3. WinAMP does not work on 4.0.4. All I get is "music library empty". PowerAMP works great. But in PowerAMP I can choose music-directory. Also in "settings when I want to choose a ringtone (MP3) it also say "music library empty". Also this worked fine in 4.0.3. What am I missing ? What am I doing wrong? Both LED and WinAMP worked on 4.0.3 but not on 4.0.4
Anyone else experiencced this "problem" ?!?
Where does 4.0.4 expect to find the music-files? I have my music-files on the sd-card in a directory named "music".

The LED issue is a known problem in the ICS 4.0.4 update. There are talks about an update coming which would fix this problem.
And I can't really help you out with your music issue. I use the stock music app and I have no problems. Uh, try clearing cache and data for WinAmp.

I can't use stock music player due to the issue "music library empty". Not really sure what's causing it.
I thought about wiping cache and dalvik, but since I came from a fresh install, then I didn't bother with that.
Thank you for the info on the LED issue

Go to Settings -> Apps. Find the Music app under ALL. Then wipe data and cache.
Hope it works.

I tried. It didn't do any good.
I wonder what it could be, It worked on 4.0.3 I haven't changed anything besides upgrading to 4.0.4

I have the exactly same problem tried everything but music is there and is not there also the same happens with old photos i cannot see them anymore on the gallery they are on sd but not on gallery

Check if you have a .nomedia file in your music folder.
It prevents android from looking for media files in that particular folder. This includes photos, music & videos.
Just delete it and all should be fine.
@daniel090588, the same thing applies to you.

I just found out that the same goes for me. I can't see pictures in my gallery either. I could see 4 pictures. Those four I have taken since I installed this 4.0.4 but none of the other pictures. I searched for them on my SD and they are ALL in the same directory SD/DCIM/100ANDRO but still only able to see the last four pictures taken. However I can see them ALL when I use "QuickPic" A great app to view all your pictures with.

I did a reset on my phone now. Just to see if that helped, and it did.
Now I can see music in stock music player. Also my stock photo gallery is working.
I guess the problem I had came from my titanium backup restore.
I wonder what it could have been ?

Thanks it works

Thanks! It worked for me (CM 7.2 - HTC Chacha). I deleted all the .nomedia files and .nomedia folders.
Also I had to delete them twice.

Go to settings, applications, all
Find the Media Storage app, and clear data.
This deletes everything! artists, albums, playlists. (data still on card)
Plug in, mount usb. Eject. Go back into music, and wait (a lot if you have more than a few tracks.)
Note: If the music app shows no changes, try force stopping the Media Storage app. The app showed no cache or data to clear, but force stopping it then opening the Music app worked for me.

getting the same thing except on my tw and been using default samsung music player

[/COLOR]Having this same problem on i747 s3 at&t model on cm10.1 nightlies. Rebooted, tried different music player, removed haptic feedback, nothing. I am constantly listening to music while browsing and this has made it intolerable, please help

Don't personally know what's causing it but I've heard several reports of this in other ROM threads. The suggested workaround/"fix" is to disable touch sounds.
