[Q] sd problem

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.

[Q] Manually added photos not being shown in gallery

Hello there. I'm having an issue with gallery. I manually moved over a picture to the virtual sd card, but gallery doesn't pick it up. It doesn't matter where I put it, the root, Pictures, even the folder where the nexus places photos taken from the camera. I can see it in a file explorer and can even open with gallery from there. But if I open the gallery app the picture is nowhere to be found.
I've tried deleting gallery's cache but to no avail. I'm on the Android Revolution HD 2.1.4 rom. Is anybody with the stock rom having this problem, or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try rebooting, it worked for me before

I was on 4.0.2 and my drivers weren't allowing me today to transfer anything to SD card when using my USB on computer i went to gummy 4.0.3 reloaded the drivers restarted computer and working flawlessly

Thanks for the replies, I've tried rebooting, no luck. My problems aren't with moving things to the virtual sd card, but viewing the pictures in gallery after I've done so

This has happened to me with music files. Rebooting the phone after I have copied/moved the files in the designated folder fixes the visibility issue for me

[Q] Stock Gallery, no thumbnails

Anyone had a problem where you're unable to view pictures on the stock gallery app? The thumbnails are blank, and when clicking on them a message saying "no thumbnails" is displayed, and the picture does not show. I can view pictures using a file manager, and Cool 3D gallery app.
This is on AOKP M5. I been using AOKP M5 and switching back and forth from the nightlies and M5. The only difference I've done this time is I deleted all the data on the SD card before flashing M5. The reason for me deleting is I noticed some app data was still left behind.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I haven't seen this problem on my Nexus but on my old phone if I deleted the .thumbnails folder in DCIM & restarted the phone the thumbnails were rebuilt.

Forgot to mention, I've already tried that. I also tried wiping cache and dalvik. I also transfered my Wallpaper folder from my computer to my phone, and the stock gallery does not display those pictures either.

i am having this same problem so i thought i'd just post here instead of making a new thread. i just posted this reply in another thread but i'm going to bump this one too since there are people having this problem and i don't think any of us have found a solution yet.
i was on AOKP M5 since it was released and the day CM9 RC1 came out i wiped data and flashed it. this is when i saw the problem. everything worked fine in AOKP M5.
i wasn't reallse happy with CM9 so i wiped data again and flashed liquidsmooth 1.5 and while i am enjoying it i am having this similar problem with the gallery. i have searched and searched and have found no solution for this bug.
when i go to gallery all the thumbnails are gray. when i click on a folder the thumbnails are still gray and when i click on a picture it says "no thumbnail." i wiped gallery in titanium backup and no dice. i also uninstalled and reinstalled the app through titanium backup. no dice once again so i just wiped data and did another fresh install of liquid and i am still having the problem.
i am able to take pictures and view them in quickpic but not in the gallery. i downloaded the es file explorer showed hidden files and deleted the .thumbnail folder (it was already empty) in the DCIM folder. the gallery repopulated but the thumbnails were still gray. for now i am using the quickpic app for my gallery since it is able to show thumbnails.
i just installed this liquid 1.5 on my friend's GN and the first thing i did was take some pics so i could view them in his gallery and he doesn't seem to have the bug. everything works as it should. is this bug just random or was it because his phone just had his bootloader unlocked and was "fresh" for the new rom being installed? in CWM i wiped data/factory reset so i didn't dirty flash. whatever the case i hope this is fixed in the JB version of roms. i really don't want to flash a factory image and start all over.
if anyone has a solution or an idea on how i might try and fix it PLEASE post it. thank you so much.

No Picasa Images are displayed under Gallery
Hi,
I am on stock ICS 4.0.4(reverted from JB by applying stock images from google).
I have synced all my google data with my device. But whenever I open the stock Gallery app, I can see a thumbnail preview of all my Camera photos properly. The gallery even lists all of my Picasa albums correctly but no thumbnail preview is shown. If I enter into any of these album no preview is displayed.
Some resolutions i tried:
1. I have cleared cache, cleared data and force stopped gallery and then again started as that was advised in some threads
2. I even removed ".Thumbnail" directory and restarted but no luck.
3. I have downloaded "Just Pictures" app and it properly displays my Picasa albums along with the thumbnail preview.
But I love my stock gallery.(Please do not suggest Quickpic alternative).
Attached is the screenshot of my gallery app.
Any advice?

Instead of re flashing the entire FW can I uninstall and install the only the gallery app? If so could you please let me know where can I get that apk?
At present not in a position to re install ROM and fiddle with the set up I have in my GNex!

[Q] JB can't see files on the SD card?

Next JB problem: When I installed stock JB, I did a wiped data/cache, but when I booted up, I could see that all the folders were still there in Root Explorer as well as Airdroid. But, Android can't see them. What I mean is, if I open up Gallery, it claims I have no pictures stored on the device, despite actually having hundreds of pictures in several folders. Quickpic sees them just fine, but Gallery doesn't. I'd rather use Gallery because it can find pics from Picasa, which saves a ton of space on the phone.
How do I get my phone to see the folders that are still there?
I updated to Bigxie's ROM, but that didn't resolve it (not that I necessarily expected it to).

sorry, can't really help, as it worked for me without problem from the beginning.
maybe it just takes some time until media scan was operated? or are you using any filters like the .nomedia-manager?

No .nomedia files. If I plug in a USB port to connect it to my PC, it only shows a few empty folders, nowhere near all that are there. There's a Pictures folder, but it's empty, even though my Pictures folder actually has a bunch of files and folder s in it. It's like it's looking at some other partition or something.

That happens to me... i fix it by restoring my previos rom backup, and then doind a dirty flash of the JB Rom (only Dalvik and Cache wipe)

Same here .. no media file in gallery so I flash my old rom...

That sounds like a good solution, except whatever it is that's preventing me from finding my media files is also preventing me from accessing my Nandroid backup.

Might have to do with the sdcard being linked to another folder in storage
KJW979 said:
Didn't see mentioned in here but over at rootzwiki is being mentioned that the reason some can't wipe and return to a previous rom might have to do with JB adding a new folder named storage. If go into root explorer or similar right below folder Sd there is a storage folder if opened brings up another folder named sd, seems to be a duplicate sd folder. I can't remember ever seeing it on any previous rom's. Also nobody sure consequences if deleted. Personally not much knowledge, just passing along.

I'll have to remember that for next time. I gave up and did a factory wipe from Galaxy Nexus Tools, and am in the process of restoring my Nandroid, then I'll do a 'dirty' JB upgrade from there and hope it doesn't do the same thing twice. If it does, I'll just stick to ICS.

Just saw that, thank you for your post. It's weird, though, is it mirroring the SD card? I've got my SD card almost full, and if it duplicated it I would have gone way over.

I decided not to take any more chances now that I'm back to ICS. I'll wait for the official release. I don't think Google Now and the smoothness make up for the loss of themes and customization.

Did anyone find a way to fix this without a reflash?

Where did you find a Galaxy Nexus with a SD card slot?

[Q] Samsung Note 3 jpg files not recognized as pictures

Device: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Not Rooted
Model # SM-N900T
Android Ver. 4.3
Kernel Ver. 3.4.0-1670611
Preamble:
Pictures taken with the phone camera (either on onto the device or onto the SD card), that were never moved off the device are recognized by any and all media apps (such as Gallery) as pictures and, therefore show up normally in the media apps and can be manipulated there (rotating or cropping, for example).
Problem:
Recently and without anything being done, I noticed that all pictures that were uploaded from a computer onto the phone have disappeared from the media apps. That included pictures that I originally took with that phone then moved onto a computer and then moved back onto that same phone, as well as the pictures that I just moved from a computer that had no relation to the phone's camera to begin with. All of those images are of *.jpg format. The file managing apps (such as My Files) do see those files and are sending to open them with my default picture app (Gallery), which opens them but does not give me any options as to edit or anything else.
Tried to drag-n-drop in a dual window mode from My Files picture opened into a new folder into Gallery - the result was a message "file not supported".
This is just weird.
What could be causing this and how do I correct this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

via regular USB cable. Did not use the USB 3 cable recently, but have done that as well. Makes no difference.
The key weirdness is that as long as I obtain pictures by using the phone (via camera, or online download) they are recognized just fine. It's when I upload images using a USB connection from my computer (even the pics that were taken with that same Note 3 and transferred to computer before) onto the phone is when that crap starts to manifest (or, rather, disappear).
