[Q] MicroSD card problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I recently bought a Note 2, came from a S2(great phone by de way) and I just love it. I put my old microsd card from my S2 to the Note and no problems saving photos from camera and stuff. Last few days I put some movies, pics, music and wallpapers to the sd card to see how awesome the Note screen is. But here comes the problem, I cant view some photos(or folders with pics, the just dont show up), with the stock apps, same with videos and music. So I just formated the card and now the music showed up, but the pics remain unseen, or videos, I formated again using the PC, and pics showed up but music and videos didnt. I installed another gallery(quickpic), video and music player(poweramp) app and I can play all the videos, music and pics stored on the card. I can open them using solid explorer(or default samsung explorer too) to play the files. So i think is a problem with the stocks apps or the card, I bought a new card and the problem remained, I factory reset the phone and the problem persist(tried the card on my sister's Note 2 and same problem). I cleared cache, data of the apps and media, didnt work. So all thats left is to ask the experts on this forum from help. Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Venezuela

[Q] Weird music problem, on SD card

A while ago I copied some albums onto my SD card (in a folder called Music) and when I went into the Music App they all appeared and played fine.
Since then i have deleted one of the albums and copied in a few more but when i go into the Music App now , i only see the original albums i coped a while ago, ie i still see the deleted one and i dont see any of the new ones.
I loaded up 3 (cubed) and this does the same
is there a music library i need to refresh or something?
fixed it myself, a dismount and mount of SD card worked, i guess a reboot would have done the same job

No videos, pictures or music found in gallery

Hi guys,
Today I opened a game on my phone and it suddenly crashed so I force closed the game and uninstalled it.
Now when I open the gallery or the music player itbsays no pictures, videos found and in the music player it says no music found!
I used efile manager to take a look to the files on the SD card and the pictures are on the SD card and can see them when I tap on them in the file manager just like always. But they are not in the gallery or the music player.
After that I removed the SD card without knowing you can unmount the SD card.
After that I unmounted the SD card and did it several times.
But it's still the same.
Please help me
What should I do?

Hi,
I took pictures and videos today with the DHD and went to upload them but the internet was too slow and it consumed all the battery, so the battery died and of course the phone turned off. Now I went to send the videos from the DHD to my pc and the new videos and pictures I took are not not in the gallery anymore.
And the phone still doesn't recognize the Music, Videos and Pictures that were already taken with the DHD itself.
SO now it says No Videos or Pictures found and says No Music found in the Music player.
Pleaseee help me I really need help with this problem.

Make a backup of your memory card then format it.....see if the gallery can read files again then paste back on your backup
.......apart from that don't know what else ......are you using HTC gallery or android stock gallery

Hi,
I will try it out today.
I am using the only gallery you find in the apps tab. And the video and music player in the app tab.
I will try making a backup and format the microsd card and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
NOW I know what my problem was. I didn't know how to work with that nomedia folder.
NOW I know that putting the .nomedia folder on the SD card it will not scan the items to the gallery. I thought that because the .nomedia folder was empty it is not working
I was nearly going to buy a new SD card.
But now I have a problem that I can't find the videos that I took when I had that problem.
The videos are not on the sd card :S
Please help!
with in 2 days, have had this .nomedia file turn up on my sd card, and it deletes my video files.....
any idea why??
please

Music Files issue

Hey I just bought this phone yesterday (had the galaxy before)
and today i opened up the music player and loaded the songs from my sd card, but for some reason everything is (about 90%) of my songs are under the album "audio" with unknown as the artist/album. but then the rest of the 10% song are under albums...how can i fix this? its quite annoying now to find songs by certain artist since everything is UNKNOWN.
i also tried using another music player (pro player or something like that) and same thing
either your files lost the mp3 tags for some unknown reason, or something else is wrong there.
either case try out this great app

so is there any way to diagnose the problem to see what it REALLY is?
also is there an easy way to put the tags back onto the files?
OKAY SO I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT LOL
go to settings, applications, all, find 'media storage' click on it. clear data.
then go to settings and sd storage, unmount sd card. then once available, hit mount sd card. let it scan fully
then go to music player and all songs should be grouped into albums, etc etc etc..
someone can close this thread now and keep it for reference for newbies like myself who run into this issue

[Q] SD Card Erasing?

First of all I'm running the ViperOne rom but I can't post this there because its restricted. But I had a 64gb sd card in my phone and today it erased all the music and pictures I had on it. About 30gb. So I "formatted" the card in the phone. Put all the music back on and pictures. When the phone is rebooted. All the music stays but all the pictures are erased. I can't figure out why. Anyone have any ideas? Even if I set the camera to store its pictures straight to the SD Card once the phone is restarted it deletes all the pictures.

Google Play Music / On the Huawei? ...has anyone got it to work?

So I have my saved to phone file (music) and I have them attached to a play list. Then I set in the wear app to allow store on watch, pulled up the list and clicked the playlist I wanted to send to watch. Then on the watch I hit play Music and on wear, and the list shows, I then pick what I want and see a orange check on the bottom of the watch screen. What ever I do with that check, swipe or click it just goes back to the watch face?
Has anyone got the Music to transfer to the watch?
Yes, it works for me. Try to follow these instructions:

It takes a while to transfer the songs from the phone to the watch. In Google Play Music, you can go to Settings > Manage Wear Downloads and check the progress in the orange circle. When the transfer is complete, you should get a notification on your watch.

Thanks for the info, I actually found that same page & tried several times. I even get the watch to show the list and pick albums, playlists, songs, and then try that orange check and nothing.
Cleared cashe on music app, reset connections, and rebooted both devices. It all reads just like the web page except for the actual file transfer. I get error phone disconnected on the watch, yet when I go to wear app it is connected. Or I just see the watch go back to the watch face, no notification what so ever. Sigh.
looks like many are having issues, depending on the version of google play music. It also seems it has been broke, fixed, broke again. These things do happen when working on updates and such, I'll keep checking for an update. https://productforums.google.com/fo.../DGr1WPiy9Po;context-place=forum/android-wear
We found the issue, and I have music transferring now!
It is related to sd card, two ways to get past googles sd card failure.
1. put a .nomedia file on your sd card root folder, this will work if you have a third party music app that will allow you to choose an sd card folder so it still reads files.
2. put music files you want on internal memory and remove sd card until music is transferred. keep that music on internal when replacing sd card.
I believe this is an issue with googles sd card security, and you probably won't see this if you have marshmallow and have formatted the sd card the new way making it your secure memory. If you choose to keep your sd card as removable and usable elsewhere you will need to try some type of work around. It frustrates me but the way they are doing it is more secure in the long run. I just never put files that need securing on my sd card in the first place, just music, games, videos.
I'm glad it worked!
My phone is running Android Marshmallow and the songs are stored in the internal memory (not the SD card). Maybe this is the reason why I didn't have problems in first place.

Thanks! I'm super Happy with the results. I used the .nomedia on sd card. I have 1.4 GB now on the watch and I'm able to do my walking with bluetooth sound, without carrying the phone.
