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.

Good day,
Can anyone with a real live Galaxy Nexus (or even another handset hacked and running Android 4.0) confirm if the music-playing-alphabetically bug STILL exists? If you aren't familiar, let me explain. This problem is well documented and has existed for years in various versions of Android. (Do a Google search for "android music alphabetical order" and you'll see years of posts from all over the Internet, about tons of devices, regarding this issue.)
As briefly as possible, the bug is that media in non-MP3 format (notably M4A and WMA) ignores track numbers in metadata tags and instead gets sorted and displayed alphabetically. I had great hope that this would be fixed in Google Music, but can confirm that this application on my Galaxy S II running 2.3.4 still does this wrong.
To duplicate, just do the following: place a full, correctly-tagged, album in M4A or WMA format on the phone using any method you like (USB Storage or MHL via Windows Media, makes no difference) then attempt to play the album in real life track order. It doesn't work. Android refuses to read the tags on anything except MP3's and thus defaults to alphabetical order. (It ignores embedded album art too, for the record. And just to confirm: YES. All my music is meticulously tagged, and even a tagging app on the Android phone confirms that it sees the track numbers.) It's an M4A- or WMA-and-Android problem.
I won't go on a rant about how utterly inexcusable this is (although it absolutely is) and how my WP7 and iOS devices handle this very simple task just fine. Except: it is inexcusable, and those OS's DO handle this just fine. As someone who frequently listens to albums in real-life track order, and who doesn't have the time to transcode all my music just to satisfy a buggy OS, it honestly renders an Android device nearly useless to me. I'm interested in the Galaxy Nexus, but after purchasing a Galaxy S II and being disappointed with this bug, I'm not inclined to get a Nexus if it can't do this properly either. Can anyone confirm if this works properly on a Galaxy Nexus and/or in Android 4.0?
Thanks much,
Adam

I leave it to someone with an ICS phone or rom to answer your question, but until then you can help yourself with a little app.
Use MediaFix from the market to update your MediaStore database with the correct informations: https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.gorgonloop.MediaFix

Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten completely about the existence of MediaFix. It's even installed on my GS2, but I use the device so sporadically I forgot all about it. (As you may have detected from my post, I just picked it up again for the purpose of checking out Google Music.) I suspect you'd agree with me that such a utility shouldn't even need to exist, but hey, a fix is a fix.
Still, I'm quite interested to see if Google has addressed this properly in 4.0.
Again, thanks,
Adam

I'm going to check this out and see if it fixes the album art bug. I am anal about properly tagging my collection and it burns me that the media services screw up the album art all the time. I mean come on all the mp3 in each album all have the same art, album, and artist and it still assigns random wrong art to albums and tracks. I just don't get it.
EDIT: looks like it only works for mp4. Oh well.

Since when does iOS or Android support WMA?
Solved... ish...
It was really an accident that I learned about the WMA bit. Windows Media Player understands and syncs to the phone but insists on conversion of MP4 to WMA, with no way to turn this off -- as verified flatly by an official Microsoft answer. The Galaxy sees and will play the tracks but refuses to read the tags or album art in the WMA file. I would have been willing to (grudgingly) accept using WMA files on the phone, but not at the expense of making the original problem worse. Natch.
After some more research and testing I have ascertained that -- bafflingly -- the problem is directly related to the method of file transfer. MP4 files (but still not WMA as discussed above) which are put onto the phone using the MTP sync protocol get recognized fine, tags, art, and track numbers... All correct. The problem is therefore that files written using USB Mass Storage are the screwed up ones. (Sorry, DoubleTwist, you lose too.) So, in a roundabout way this seems it will be fixed with the Galaxy Nexus in that it only supports MTP. Someone geekier than me, please feel free to speculate or flat-out school me on why this difference exists. I do understand that MTP works at the logical file level rather than the lower block level of Mass Storage, and thus I can understand why the Galaxy Nexus can't support Mass Storage (no way to dismount the single partition)... but back to the Galaxy S II, I am still perplexed at how the phone fully understands files laid down one way but doesn't for the exact same files laid down another way.
So now, for me it's either manual copies in Windows Explorer (sucks, no way to easily and automatically add new albums using smart playlists, as I do with iTunes for my iOS devices and Zune for my WP7 phone) or use a media manager which supports MTP but which also doesn't force WMA conversion. This therefore knocks out WMP and Songbird. So far, then, this means it's either Kies (and hell will freeze solid before I use that garbage routinely) or MusicBee which seems to work fine, but damn, this has been a long way round a problem which shouldn't exist at all... And which would also seem to leave Mac and Linux users still out in the cold, as MTP is basically a Windows-only technology. Bah.
Any other suggestions, anyone?
Regards
Adam

I recently updated my rooted Dinc to the Stock+ Gingerbread Rom (latest version). I love the ROM, but have noticed a few weird issues in regards to music/sound files.
First off, I had a lot of simpsons .wav files that I used for notifications for text messages and stuff. Once I updated to this ROM, the .wav files no longer would play. Attempting to play them in a media player results in a "this format in not playable" type message. Doesn't make sense that Gingerbread would not play as much as if not more formats than Froyo, but perhaps this is an issue with GB? I looked around the internet and couldn't find any solid info about it.
Secondly, since the internal EMMC storage pretty much goes unused on the phone, I decided I'd move all my sound files and music files into that area and save some real estate on my sd card. However, when I moved my media into the internal storage it was no longer recognized by the system. The mp3 ringtones and things wouldn't play at all. They'd show up in the list, but not play.
Any light anyone can shed on these issues would be much appreciated.

So I flashed CM12 to my 2013 Nexus 7 and it used the audio for the keyboard that kit kat uses and I hate the way it sounds. So I went to /system/media/audio/ui and replaced those files with with the ones from my friends 2013 Nexus 7 who is on stock 5.0.2 and now it makes no sounds. So I then downloaded stock image for my Nexus 7 from Google and extracted the system.img and took the sound files from it and placed them on my Nexus and it still won't make any sound. When I play the .ogg files on my computer they all work but when i play them on my Nexus only a few play like NFC sounds but things like Lock/Unlock and keyboard clicks won't play.
Edit: So there was an update for CM this morning and upon updating the keyboard clicks and lock/unlock sounds work but they're those disgusting kitkat sounds. Is there any way to change these to lollipop?
Edit: I figured it out so this post can be deleted.
Hi all,
I've been using my Galaxy Note 10+ 5G model shooting 4K HDR10+ videos and using the Gallery app to share them (or use the Instagram button to upload) and it converts it (though it says it is "compressing video") to standard SDR (so that people won't see a washed our HDR video on their non-HDR screens). So far, it's been good and works fine.
However, today I hit upon a problem where I was waiting for a video to convert/compress and it got stuck, so I cancelled it and tried it again and now the video won't share to Instagram properly, it says the file is not supported. I tried sharing the same file onto my cloud and downloading it onto my PC from there and the video is corrupted, so from what I can see is the SDR converted video file outputted by the gallery/video player app got corrupted during conversion and is useless as a converted video, but the original HDR10+ video in gallery is still fine and I can watch it in the Gallery app, but I can't RE-convert it as the gallery/video player app thinks it is already converted and if I try to share it, it just shares it fine without trying to convert it (again, as it thinks it has already converted it).
I double checked the original video file by downloading it onto my PC and since my monitor is not a HDR monitor, the video plays all washed out, showing that the video is still indeed a HDR10+ file.
I think my main question then is: where are these converted SDR videos actually stored on the phone? If the gallery/video app is converting these video files to SDR to be shared, are they stored somewhere? Or is it some kind of look-up table applied to the video file by the Gallery/Video player app and then shared out (but the original is still untouched as a file)?
I even tried clearing my cache in all the apps to see if it will re-convert the video but nope, as far the app is concerned, the video has already been converted.
Try converting another vid. May be just that one is mistagged. Clear data too if clearing cache doesn't get it done and my favorite cure; try clearing the system cache.

Other videos are fine, it was just that one video! I tried clearing cache, didn't work, so I'll try to clear data on the Gallery and video player app. If that doesn't work then I'll try clearing the system cache.
So no one knows where these converted files are stored or whether it is just some kind of lookup table applied to the file to convert to SDR? Surely if I am converting hundreds of videos, it should be taking up space on the phone's storage?!
Ah! I cleared the Gallery app's data (because clearing cache didn't work) and it reset the Gallery app and now I can convert that video file again and it works now! So the metadata or converted data is stored by the Gallery app somehow...

Yah. I was fearing it was the maybe video's metadata that was screwed up...
I really don't know how people who don't play with their Androids get by.
It's unnerving how easily Androids sometimes seem to pick up bad habits out of the blue. A lot of bugware out there.
Usually it's a simple fix if you play with it for a bit.
I loathe the "techies" who always fall back on the hard reset option in a blink of an eye rather than actually trying to find the issue.
I've had a lot of trouble with photo gallery apps since migrating to the Note 10+, you're not alone.
I don't use Samsung's... the native one worked so much better on my stupid S4+.
Progress? MS style maybe... I had to replace many of the Samsung apps that use to work fine on the S4+ with 3rd party ones to get the functionality I needed.
One of Samsung's subtle failings.

I know what you mean! I'm always fiddling around with my phone's settings. This feature of converting HDR to SDR videos bugged me for a while as I never knew how exactly it did it (coming from a PC video editing world, files obviously need to be stored somewhere and outputted somewhere if they are being converted) so it seems like the converted files are somehow stored inside the Gallery app, which is a bit strange but it would explain why once a video has been converted, it never needs converting again if you share it more than once (unless you clear the data like I just did now!). But I've had this phone since August 2019 and this is the first time the conversion messed up somehow...
I never liked the default Samsung gallery apps before, this is the first time I actually use it because I actually find the Gallery app on the Note 10+ to be half decent as it integrates with the video player, the conversion etc... and also the pics and videos actually look kind of decent in this app vs past apps, but in the past, on my S3 and Note 4, I've always used QuickPic as my gallery app (until they got bought out and went downhill from there). The only thing I miss on this default Gallery app is when you're scrolling through a lot of images and videos, on other apps if you hold the scrolling sidebar and scroll, it will bring up the date of the file so you know how far back you are scrolling (sometimes I need to go back to last year or even further back depending on the folder of pics I'm looking at) but the Samsung Gallery app doesn't highlight the date so you just have to find the file without help...
I use DV Gallery a lot. No ads.
Like the options it has for files it shows and more importantly ones it doesn't. Scanner images aren't what I want to see in my photo browser.
My biggest issue is with imported pic folders I loss the picture order. It's maddening. I have thousands of images with no easy way to restore them in date taken sequential order.
My PC based Canon apps can probably do it, maybe... stupid Android!!!

Ah yeah, frustrating! I know QuickPic used to be able to "fix" the date (although sometimes temporarily) and sort it in date taken sequential order. Doesn't the default Gallery app sort by date taken order? There's never one perfect app that covers all needs! I feel your pain.
