I rooted my evo and its been working fine, but I now have a problemo..
The SD card is mounted because I can see everything through astro, I can connect it to the computer and browse the sd card and see pix and music
The music player says "No music found" and the gallery wont display my photos.
Any suggestions? I dont want to format the sd card if possible. More info by request.
Thanks
Also when I take pictures theyll stay for a while, I dont know exactly when they disapear, but maybe when the phone is rebooted. They do although get saved to the sd card in the proper 100MEDIA folder
Would you happen to be on the sense 2.1 ports? That happens to me when I'm on them.
what do you mean by the port? I am using 2.1 tho. its been working fine for about 4 months
Take SD card out..copy contents, format SD card, copy contents back, insert SD card back..your problem should be fixed..if not, get a better SD card.

If you don't want to format it, try unmounting & remounting the SD card. You can also try manually running the media scanner. There are multiple toggle widgets that do this - Widgetsoid is my personal preference, but there are others. The dev tools app on CM7 also has an option to run the media scanner.
I think this is a rom issue & not an sd card issue. Backup your current rom, then restore from a backup of a different rom or try a clean install of a new one. If you choose to do a fresh flash, I suggest going with the stock rooted rom. If you still have the problem, then copy all of the files to your computer, format the card, then copy what you need back to the SD.
If it works fine on a different rom, you know the problem is rom related. You can try a completely clean install of whatever rom you're running right now, but it may just be a bug pertaining to the rom.
What rom are you on at the moment? Just curious...
honestly I cant remember. how to I find out?

You don't remember what rom you're on? Really?
Umm, okay. Go to settings, then about phone down at the bottom. If you don't know which piece of info is the rom - you should recognize the name - just post everything in that menu.

You want to make sure that you don't have a ".nomedia" file in with your pictures or music. Certain apps can automatically create a .nomedia file and place it in with your music files or pictures, etc. When a .nomedia file is present, that folder won't get scanned for media of any kind, therefore your stuff wont show up. I'm not saying that's definitely your problem, by any means. However, simply suggesting that you check your folders, to make sure that the .nomedia file isn't there. I forget which apps can create that file, but I know it can happen.
i used unrevoked.. which one is the rom in software info?

It may be named Rom Version, Mod Version, build number... I've seen multiple different wordings for it. Mine says "Build Number", but I'm on MIUI. It isn't baseband, kernel, model version, or Android version. It won't be only numbers, and it isn't PC36100.
Let me ask you this... have you flashed any roms through recovery or Rom Manager? If not, you're on stock.
3.70.651.1 cl294884 release-keys is build number
I just tried to install fresh evo 3.5 rom and when it rebooted it stuck at the white "htc evo 4g" screen

Glad to have helped. And I just gave you your first thanks (it was an accident, I meant to hit the quote button, lol). But either way, you got your first thanks! Take it easy.
Hi, Guy
I just found that my SD internal storage get very small every day, I did not install lots of thing, but now it is only 1.5G.
So you need to check yours as well on your computer to see is it happen to you. It is very serious problem which will cause SD care data lost in the end.
This is how you can check.
1 Connect your One X USB to PC. Use USB storage mode.
2 In file manager click on your X'sd card name and mouse right click choose properties, it show how much data used and how much left. Write done the number.
3 Click you SD card icon and pop up another screen show all folders and data in SD card, use Ctrl+A to select them all, then mouse right click and choose properties to show the calculation for how much all those files storage.
The used space for step 2 and step 3 shall be almost same if it is correct. But on my One x it has 13G difference. Which means the 13G storage is nowhere on the SD card but system think they are. So you will loose those space.
Do your check and see how many of you has this problem.
I must admit I felt that my storeage was showing a considerable amount less than what I was expecting the other day...
I'll have to plug in my phone to cross reference the figures there agains't what the handset is saying...
Then again I did pump my HOX full of Vids, Movies and .CBZ files.
I had the same problem with the One X ported rom on Sensation, I kept loosing GB of memory for no reasons...till I found the bug: gallery cache!
There is a folder for the Gallery app that keep adding cache and eat huge amount of memory, just delete this folder and disable caching in gallery

I'd also like a bit more info about the gallery cache folder please.
My phone memory is definitely lower than it should be. I was going to format it, but if this folder is causing the problem... maybe i won't need to.
It's in the camera folder aka DCIM
The cache folder must be there if I remember well.
Guys.....
Just delete the LOST.DIR.
There are thousands of threads about this.

sorry no folder of such. And it is not folder issue I guess. This issue is now reported world wide in other place as well. It just break out. And it is not 1.29 issue I'm still on 1.28 rom. it is related to USB connection and also install program in SD card. I hope XDA dev can look into it seriously!

Foramtting will not helpful. I know some guys format several times and it still eat your SD card. It is the phone problem with ROM. HTC need fix it.
As I said it was an early port of the One X port, did you try the thumbnail folder in DCIM?

Thanks to let me know. So if you use PC USB connection to check as I posted for step 2, 3, how much difference of those figures?
Deleted LOST.DIR and gained 0!
Adding all stuff up on the sd card i have about 15-16 gig. I have just over 5 gig left!
Yesterday i deleted Dungeon Defenders (800ish meg) I had nearly 6 gig... where did the other 1gig go overnight?!
You will have to ''seek and destroy'' the bad folder.
I hope you don't have many folders in your main SD directory,select 2-3 folders and right click to see if you get huge amount of memory used,then narrow the search till eliminating the bad boys

solution:
just make a back up of your phone storage. simply to open phone storage in your pc, select and copy you all folders of phone storage and paste in any folder of pc, then do quick fomat your phone storage called (htc storage), then take back all your folders to htc storage by paste command.

This isnt a solution. It works initially but the storage space starts to vanish again after a few days. Ive doe this twice now. It must be a bug that needs sorting out asap. This is my only issue on my phone though. No screen flickering problems fortunately

Thanks, I know this solution that is to get back the lost space. And I just did it since I have only 1G left so can not take the risk for any more lost space. Now I get 15G free.
But it is just temporary solution, after few days it probably loose more space again but now I will keep monitor of it.
HTC need to fix this problem.

It depends.
1) Did you configure your camera to save them to the external fat32 (or exFAT) sdcard? Then it should be fairly easy to undelete most of them.
2) Or did you save them to your internal ext4 formatted sd (the default)? If yes, then you're mostly outta luck, UNLESS you were rooted, in which case you can make a disk image and then use a util on your PC like photorec (from testdisk) to recover them.
I actually have a similar but different question. I am running AOKP and end up flashing new versions often. I noticed that I lose my pictures each time and thought I was out of luck. But today I noticed in astronomy that all my pictures were actually in camera folder but the camera app does not see them. How can I make it so that they show up in the gallery?

Not sure, maybe you're dirty flashing and need to clear data for media?
Try using QuickPic gallery instead. It's all I use and it always picks up my internal&external DCIM directories.
(I move my photos to the external fat32 DCIM dir every once in a while in order to use QuickPic's "fix file date using exif date" function, which only works on fat32, but not ext4)

I saved them at the default (not sdcard). I don't think I rooted them because I don't even know what is rooted. I just brought the phone and started taking pictures.

I never dirty flash always complete wipe. Any other way to get the stock galaxy app to see all the pictures in the folder but just the ones that I take with the newest version?
I'm not really a fan of having multiple apps
Edit: okay just check out that app seems nice I can set it all to default but for example when I'm in the camera app and press the pictures to view them I do not go straight there. Any way to change that?

I have never tried it with a phone but try downloading Recuva , plug your phone into the computer and then on Recuva select the phone drive to scan and see if you have any luck with that.

MTP is used now, not USB Mass Storage, so that won't work.
Since the internal SD is mounted as a fuse FS, none of the existing utilities work. I had thisbsame problem with my Xoom several months ago.

Check out this Samsung galaxy recovery solution which helped me last time.
So I've noticed my storage is full of "other" - as per in the attached screenshot.
How do I find what that is, and do you reckon I can delete it?
It can't be cache stuff, can it?
I reckon it might be a Titanium Back up or a nandroid, but would like to know where to look. I'm back on stock and unrooted, and if this is something I can take off the phone and put on a spare hard drive, that would be great.
Thanks for your help...!

It could be the pre-installed apps.
When you first bought your HOX, you check your settings and storage, only 2.11GB available on internal storage (apps memory), and more than 25GB available on virtual SD card or phone memory.
Some of the custom roms on rooted HOX has this functionality that we can be able to view the full details of what is consuming our memory.
i use ES file explorer for this it can run an analysis of the sd card and tell what the folders are that take up the most space
u can also analyze a folder instead of sd card to see what map or file takes the most space
u will see if its junk or maybe some old games you dont have installed anymore
and can simply delete them after
Its everything you downloaded, music , folders , pictures etc

No it's not music, folders, pictures. I have same problem and ask HTC for help.
Man you should try to factory reset and clear storage, if that doesnt work and your phone come with used 4gb (like mine), you should send it to service. Already not found any better way to fix it. Sorry if i'm wrong.

I got a reply from HTC this morning that this is what system takes which is a total BS as system is only 1.05 Gb in my case it is /sys folder which is showing to contain nearly a MILLION folders and 500000 (yes five hundred thousand) files.
They really dont know what they are telling.

I'm now at hospital so cant send it to HTC. But i try send it next week. I tell you what's result. From HTC this is only way to fix it. I'm not expert just saying HTC's solution. Wait, may some one know other solution, i will tell you how it's going next week when get phone from service.

I've got the same problem! Looking inside the phone with a root explorer the amount of all the folders is around 350 mb with a custom rom, all the folder except one ( /sys ). The folder /sys has something wrong cause the explorer just keep saying calculating...
Is there anything we can do to have back all these GB?? Thanks
Have anyone try to factory reset?
I have got this problem too.
I have tried "make more space" by delete apps.
But "Other" is nothing change.:silly:
If you have a backup or migration tool installed check if you have any backups stored and also check the temp files of that backup app.
The othet section is the pre installed apps and the system itself.

I had 9.45GB of storage in "other"
I tried finding what it was taking that much space and discovered nothing in particular.
Some time before, I realized my HTC One Mini 2 was full. I was replacing data to my Ext. SD Card. Then I realized that, no matter what I replaced, the 9.45 GB remained the same/Increased.
I think there is some kind of TEMP file for stuff you deleted/replaced. So you could get it back if you deleted something by accident, because after restarting my phone, only 5.5GB of "other" storage was left.
However, this is still alot of storage, and I can't find what the 5.5GB contains in any file explorer. Does anyone have a clue about how big the OS and Sense layer are? Thanks in advance
Hey guys I have a very annoying issue. My gallery app doesnt show up my pictures in my sd card. I moved pictures by file explorer of its own, and they all are gone from gallery app. Although it doensnt show the pics that are moved , it shows the pictures freshly taken into external sd card . But it doesnt show the pics I moved into it. The other fact is that when I unmount the sd card and mount it again, even the freshly taken pictures dissappear.!! but after that I shoot some more and they show up but old pics never shows up. My sd card is new and I have no other issue apart from this ( its class 10 , 32 gb ,kingston micro sd card.! please helppp !! (

Seems odd to me. For some reason it thinks they should be hidden. Normally the media scanner would pick them up. Are the formatted differently ?
I dont know which format it is but recently after having had this problem , i formatted it in storage menu of settings. And I put the files back on it but no sign of pictures in gaplery.but yeah thanks for quick pic app! At least it shows them all! But i need to find a way to get my gallery to work properly again

Yes , i did ot at my first try .but the same . I think my gallery app is kinda broken down for some reason.it seems to be working very well but, it has problem with external card. Maybe i should replace it but donno where to find it. I found some but they all are modified , not the original ones
Got to be a card issue. Move pics to internal or hard drive and format the card and see if it helps.

Hey guys Ive come up with news. I flashed succesfully synergy rom into my phone. And gallery had no problem showing pictures on my external sd card. After then I restore all the apps and datas through titanium backup that i used to backup all apps and datas from previous system . AND guess what ? Gallery has started not to show up the pictures in external again. I think an app is causing this but i dont know how to find out

My general rule of thumb is only use titanium to restore apps sparingly. I just keep an ext SD card with apks of the apps I want to install that aren't on market and use the playstore for all other. Flash synergy again and then do an app and check gallery, rinse and repeat. Might be tedious but worth it.
I used to have 2.3.6 GB stock ROM and flashed THIS JB 4.3 ROM Everything works fine but my Gallery app doesn't want to show my old pics at all... When I shoot new photos they are fine.. But my phone recognizes my OLD photos as VIDEO FILES and when I try to open them it asks me what app to use to open them showing video apps. This thread looks like the closest one to my problem. I hope someone can find a solution to this other than using another gallery apk.
(I can see and open my old photos using file explorer)
