stock music player problem

i am on stock froyo.i hv deleted some songs.but my music player is still showing them.there are multiple copies of one song in the list.i hv tried everything.cleared data cache for music app but no luck.
can anyone help me?

Use root explorer and go here data/data/com.android.provider.media/databases.
Delete all files with "external" name in database folder. Restart your phone and a new database will be created base on your SDcard (music) content. will take some little time for the creating of new database, so be cool..

thanks for the tip dude.but m not rooted.m on stock froyo.

You need to root the phone. Quite easy though..
Step applied the same on froyo or even gingerbread.

[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.
E:Unknown volume for path [/emmc/clockworkmod/backup/2012-06-28.00.32.22]
Cat't mount backup path
result was NULL. message is: assert failed:

Might have to do with the sdcard being linked to another folder in storage

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] Lost everything

Hi.
I'm sorry for my bad english, please apologise me xD
I had problem with clock (it increased automaticaly of 10/20/30 minutes) so I decided to format everything.
Now I would like to get back main pictures, videos and tracks present on Xperia S.
Do you know any software to receive them back?

Its really hard to recover anything after you have formatted.

did u only factory reset it? or format your internal storage as well.
If u format the internal storage, u cannot get all your files back.
Just check your internal storage, to make sure your files still there or not.

there are free data recovery tools, which can recover data from formatted drives.
download one of them and try to recover your data.
Usually formatting does not delete the files, but just clears the file allocation table.
connect your phone to the pc and give it a try.

I'm sorry, I didn't expail it well.
I didn't do any backup so I lost everything.
Now, I would like to get back the main pictures, tracks and videos present initially on Xperia S like pictures (for instance the pictures that appear on 3:03 in this video on YouTube "Xperia S from Sony Review - Dialaphone "), hd video of presentation ecc.
Is it possible?

Anyone?

Well try rebooting your phone or unmount then mount sdcard. This should trigger android media scanner so it will search your memory card for media files. If it wont help then google some app that triggers media scanner there are many of them. Remember to wait few minutes for a scan to complete. Oh and you should start by formatting your memory card.

You can do what pypcier said, which does work, but you can also download a root app called Rescan Media Root which trippers the media scanner without unmounting the SD card.

Which asop rom (need to clean my phone)

My Note 2 N7100 is slow when i want to drag som picture/folders over to my pc, it freezes and my phone can't always be reconized by my pc (unknown usb devise), after i tried to make a backup of my pictures on my micro hcsd i thought i need to take it out(to make it less slow) to se if theres something i need to back up on the intern sd card, took out my 30gb trancend card while my phone was on and now i have none of my usual contacts on my phone (normally stored on my gmail account).
Need to wipe all my data except for pictures, that i somehow need to take a backup of. Backup of my pictures to dropbox is not good because then my picture is downloaded to my dropbox folder on my ssd, why do i wanna do that? I want open my dropbox folder and look for pictures and the mabye download them.(havn't figure out if that is possible)
I have upgraded to omega rom 17 today, but i would like to try a asop rom 4.2.2, i can't awoid to delete,vipe all of my data, where i many times have upgraded to a newer omega rom with no full vipe
What would you recomend me to try?

I use carbon rom and I recommend it to anyone.

No matter what i try i can't get my phone to be recognized under download so i can install a standard samsung note 2 N7100 rom, so i have to use omega rom 17

U said dropbox download the pictures to your internal storage .. You still can take the pictures from internal to external using file managers app ..
Put pictures on external .. Backup the apps using something like titanium backup also to external .
Go to your recovery philz or twrp are good..
Wipe everything (internal sdcard, system, data, factory reset, etc..)(except external ofc)
Install a fresh ROM..
Restore your apps ..
That usually would fix any problem ..
For which AOSP ROM,
Carbon ROM is the best .. I use latest nightly usually.

Why do i wanna have Dropbox download pictures (which is what i have most of on my dropbox) on to my phone?
Why can't i open dropbox and se what i have, and maybe download them, i take a picture that is stored on my phone and if it's uploaded to dropbox it is also downloaded to my phone.
How do i install simplistic framework and get it to work i have tried a few times, but no i can't, either it dosn't work or if i try installing it many apps like systems ui stops to work, ned to adjust my top taskbar, reducing the numbers of shortcuts and other stuff (i have paid for it but can't find the apk only a zip file)

But Dropbox does not download them... when a picture is uploaded, you just have to remove it from the phone if you don't want it to be there.. I don't get the problem...
Ummm I would advice you to get phoneix rom .. and in it you can install simplistic framework too.. try it..

When i delte it on my phone it's also deleted from dropbox so it's not any more on my pc.
How do i download something from dropbox? I wanted to install simplistic framwork 3.6 but i couldn't download it from dropbox (i can install the controll app).
Have this problem where i want to upgrade to ver 3.6 of simlistic framwork but i cant remeber how to do it, it pisses me off, because i just want it to work and cant remember if it's oxeded or deoxeded and whwn i try to install it i get the som gui that stops working.

Dropbox does not download the pictures, but the touchwiz implementation with it makes it download them. Deactivate it in cloud settings. You download pictures by favouriting them in the Dropbox app.
If you use camera upload, the pictures should not be deleted if you delete them from your picture gallery, unless of course you're deleting from the camera upload folder.
Simplistic framework is flashed from a custom recovery, like cwm or twrp, if you use a custom rom, then you probably want the deodexed variant. Wipe dalvik and cache after flashing.
