Hello people!
I am having problem with my HTC One V. My phone was working fine but all of a sudden it's gallery is showing "No photos or Videos found" and the Music player is also not scanning any music files. But the fiiles are shown in the ES file explorer.
My phone is not rooted, and neither did I install any app recently. Ya but connected my phone to my laptop.
This problem has occured quite a few times earlier also, but used to rectify on its own in a day. But now it is pissing me off, it's been a week.
Tried restarting, removing the storage card etc. But won't help.
Please help!

No, it won't delete your files... it just cleared your data/thumbnails and rebuild them. I think this will help your music player too. You can do the same for Music player - settings - apps - all - music - clear data

Yep, everything is on the ad card. I can access it from the file explorer.
I am wondering if I should backup my data and then format my phone.
It is showing up one more problem, I cannot download a single app from the play store. It shows downloading, and downloading and nothing moves on.
EDIT: If I format my phone, I can download all my paid apps again because they are linked to ny google account,right ?
I once had the exact problem ..but Im not able to remember because I'm becoming old ......
This may work
Move all your stuff on your sd card to your pc
Format your sd card and put em back again .....
Maybe the problem is with the sd card
Just WAIT FOR A OTA UPDATE it will fix the bug ,I had that problem too

I was thinking to do the same, but worried if it could affect my installed apps ??
I'll also try shifting some of my pics to the phone storage, lets see if it is showing the pics in there.. if it works then I'll format the sd card, if not will format the phone!
U can install them again! whats the problem ????

And what about the data in apps, such as in Notes Lite I have a number of important notes, and it wont even perform a backup
Then don't do a reset just wait until it gets solved by itself ...but if that didn't work ....reset
If u don't have patience do this...move all the data to the pc as in images and all....reboot phone browse gallery
So that the cache is built
Then.move the images back ,reboot browse and try...

if after u have tried everything on earth and nothing works, transfer stuff your PC and use a new SDCard and transfer stuff back to new one....
Problem solved. Backed up my data, did a factory reset and now everything is working fine.
But now I have to install all my apps again :banghead:

I updated my Vzw GNex to the vzw 4.2.2 ota this afternoon. Everything works fine except when I try to download something from chrome I get a message saying "No SD card" when I click a download link. I can access the sd card just fine with rootexplorer and the stock browser downloads things just fine. I tried clearing cache and data for chrome and even uninstalled and reinstalled it. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to fix it?

I am seeing the same issue on my GNex running AOKP mr-1 build 6. I have not found a fix yet.
Of note: I do NOT have this issue on my Xoom running 4.2.2 [baked_wingray_bb-8]
Try making a copy of your sdcard and factory resetting, then copy all the files over using MTP, not ADB.
I get that if i copy files over using ADB.

Mach - Thank you for your response. I have to ask though, is there any other way?
Per your recommendation I began to copy my sdcard but quickly realized that given the amount of data on my phone this would be painful using standard methods. Windows [7] was reporting no progress and seemed as if it was going to take forever to copy the contents and applications like RichCopy and TeraCopy do not see MTP devices
In the end, I simply used 'adb pull' to copy the contents. So, while it's good that I have a copy, I'm not sure how I plan to restore the copy after a factory reset without using 'adb push', which you said sometimes causes the issue. I always thought that using 'adb' was considered more reliable than the MTP interface.
Recommendations?
Thank you.
Hi, if you are running Xprivacy you should check if you have denied the 'Storage' permission for Google Chrome. That was the problem in my case.. :silly:

Hi, sorry it took a long time to reply, I just saw it. Xprivacy is an Xposed mod to manage the permissions for each app. If you haven't installed it then it is not causing you any problems!
In regards to my aforementioned issue.
"Cannot download due to SD card missing" Error.
Simply open a terminal emulator and type in the following.
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
Reboot and it should work thereafter.
wrong thread, genius, sorry.
(that is the solution though )

Hi plzz help me tried 3 days but nothing wrks.tried format my sd still media server eats my battery 35 to 50 percent n keep the device awake..what to do any software plzz appreciated...
Is your Phone rooted?
if yes--- Try Installing Greenify...
Open Greenify--- Add Apps - Select the desired app & then when the app throws a message like can't freeze hibernate system app - Click on insist!
I think titanium backup has freeze app option too.
Also try All in one tool kit...
You could easily disable startup apps...
But you'll need root!
Well tried greenify still same yes m rooted...what to do now

And disable the media scanner if the problem gone you can use it, but each photo or media file you download you need to enable the scanner again to appear in the gallery etc
But if you want something better download android revolution hd rom stock based but smoother and fasterand since 5 months i didn't notice any battery drain at all

I m hving problem in only specific rom version not in all rom.and none of above software works.and this is my fav software version thats y needed to handle media server any help regarda
The MediaServer jumps to the top of the usage, when music is constantly being played, or the scanner gets stuck with a certain file. Make sure all the files have proper tagging, filenames and aren't corrupt to begin with. This can include pictures, music, videos, and such. Corrupt pictures cause huge issues. I usually backup all my files from the SD Card on my desktop, and then format ( external SD ) or just delete all the files, use ForeverGone ( SD Card Cleaner ) and then restore the files.
Have you tried autorun

Of This doesn't help you might have to flash some other rom...

Hey guys!
I was at a concert last night and took some photos/videos with my ZL. But when I tried to transfer them to my computer, I got some problems. All I did was:
> Connected my ZL to PC via usb in MTP mode
> Created a new folder in my computer
> Opened the desired folder (in this case, Internal Strorage > DCIM > 100ANDRO)
> Then, I simply dragged the 100ANDRO folder to the new one I created
But after doing this, some trouble: the 100ANDRO disappeared from my phone internal storage and appeared EMPTY inside the folder I created before. Result: I've lost all the photos and videos.
I don't even know if I'm posting on the right area, but all I want is to recover the disappeared files. Tried to google a solution. I even found it, but for that I have to root my phone, and I don't want to do this 'cause it's in warranty period yet.
Questions: Can I have my photos/videos back without rooting my phone? If I really have to root it to have my photos/videos back, what I have to do? Do someone knows what happened? PLEASE HELP MEEEE :crying:
@EDIT
Okay, I realized that the only way is rooting my phone. Can anyone explain step-to-step or indicate a thread that a noob can understand?

you removed device without close usb conection.
It's normal lose data when do this way.

I didn't remove the device before I realized the trouble I was in. By the way, I've done this process so many times before and never had a problem like this, always safely removing my device.
The photos and videos were on Internal Storage. If them were on the SD card, I think I could recover the files; but since I can't connect my ZL in USB Mass Storage mode, pc applications can't scan it to try to recover the files.
I found some ways to try to recover the files w/ an application named DiskDigger, for Android. But in order to use it, I have to root my device first. Anyone ever used this app? Does it really works? What's the best, safely or simply way to root my device for a noob like me? I'm using a C6503 running 4.4 on 10.5.A.0.230 with unlocked bootloader.

I tried to follow the instructions in the link you posted, but I have problems with the second step. It redirects me to this thread, but since I don't have recovery and can't flash the kernel that is disponibilized, I got an error that says that it cant write the boot 'cause remote command is not allowed or something like this. So, I can't flash the kernel with recovery and can't root. Some tips about this?
you must have a unlocked bootloader.
i think your is locked.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked

Ok, so my device allows me to unlock my bootloader... I read in somewhere here in xda that having my bootloader unlocked cause the loss of the Bravia Engine 2. Is it really true? Or it's a risk that may occur?
If you use Plex and Plex Media Server on your Nvidia Shield Android TV, as your library grows, you'll soon learn that Plex Media Server can eat up a lot of that fast, precious internal storage.
Please note the current limitation of Plex Media Server for Android:
Note: The server's data directory will always be placed on the original internal storage, even if you expand it with a USB drive or microSD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I ran into this problem and spent days trying to figure out how to set the location of the metadata database to the external (adopted) storage. Unfortunately, Plex doesn't give Android users this option like they do for Windows users. Maybe in the future? Maybe if enough of us make a stink on the interwebs?
If you can't wait that long, here's a guide on how to install Plex Media Server directly to your external storage, be it Micro SD or USB Flash Drive. Just make sure your storage media is SUPER FAST. So, it's probably best to go with the fastest USB 3.0 Flash or SSD drive you can find.
IT IS CRITICAL TO DO THESE STEPS IN ORDER:
Root the Nvidia Shield 16GB Nougat (2015)
Insert Micro SD card or USB Flash drive (make sure it's fast) and adopt the storage.
Install ES File Explorer and use its Root Explorer or use ADB command line:
Code:
adb uninstall <package_name>
to remove the Plex Media Server app. Reboot and verify that it's truly removed.
Enable Developer Options
Install Plex Media Server from Google Play. Yes, this will install it in the Internal Shared Storage, but it won't be in the /System/ folder.
Go to: Settings > Developer options > Force allow apps on external (4th from the bottom)
Go to: Settings > Apps > Storage Used and move Plex Media Server to the external storage.
Reboot the Shield
*Start Plex, initiate Plex Media Server, do not build default libraries, and it should work
Reboot the Shield
Use the Plex web client to create your libraries
Enjoy!!
*Whenever you restart the Nvidia Shield, launch Plex using the Plex Media Server shortcut in SETTINGS > APPS because you have to wait 1-3 seconds for your Micro SD or USB 3.0 Flash Drive to initialize, so this makes sure the PMS is running before Plex is opened.
Thank you so much for this guide.
Damn son, You literally just did the impossible!!! People have been trying to achieve this since Plex came to Shield Tv. Over 9000 thanks to you for getting this done & for posting a guide!!!
I got this to work, But had massive trouble trying to remove PMS with both ES File Explorer & ADB. After a hour or 2, I was finally able to remove PMS with Titanium Backup Pro successfully. I've got as far as setting my libraries up now & it all apiers to be on my 3.0 SSD
I can't find the folder to place the channel bundles. Did the folder structure change from the plex server that is installed as a system app?

Im looking to install a few plugins & it seems the folder has been moved from "/data/data/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb". Did you happen to find the new location of the appdata location?

RANDOM CODE Seems to be the adoptive storage ID. I didnt include mine because chances are is that mine would be different & it is around 35 characters long.

Thank you BIFFTAZ. I appreciate your reply. It was driving me crazy not finding it. I ended up resetting my device in frustration and will let you know once I get my Shield back up and running.
Thanks muchly, Neo3D!
It's been working fine for me for the last 10 days or so on my 2015 16GB. Netflix is still working too - I'd read somewhere that they'd made it stop working on rooted devices but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Hopefully the setup will survive the next Plex Media Server update !
BTW, after much unsuccessful faffing around with ES File Explorer etc, in the end I removed the existing PlexMediaServer via:
Code:
adb shell # on your PC
su # you will have to grant superuser access when asked by the SU app
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system # mount /system as read-writeable
cd /system/app
rm -rf PlexMediaServer
Does this method work for the latest version of Shield with the latest software (just got one last week) ?
If yes, do any of the steps above change for it, or can I follow them to the dot?
TIA for the help... and Thank you OP for the awesome work!
@Neo3D, tank you so mutch, your trick worked like a charm (on my Nvidia Shield TV 2017, 16GB, Nvidia Experience 6.2)!
I've been spent a lot of time searching a solution to the Plex server and 16GB Shield limitation, and finally I got Plex working on the adopted storage!
(I suggest to @snickler or others moderators, to post this solution as a sticky post)
I also made some R/W performance tests:
1) insternal Shield storage: 210/40
2) KingFast SSD, 30GB, 1,8 inch, mSATA III, MLC (adopted storage) + Inateck USB 3.0 SSD mSATA, USB 3.0: 210/97
3) SanDisk Ultra Fit, 32GB, usb 3.0 (adopted storage) : 80/30

You can follow the step-by-step from the OP, in case of troubles uninstalling Plex server you can follow the steps provided by @Xaph0d.
When starting Plex server for the first time, pay attention to the pop-up asking for w/r permission.
Then profit it!

Probably you can, but as I am new to Plex (and also re-reading the steps 9 and 11 of this guide) I don't know how Plex create the library, so I preferred to start from the scratch.
Now I would like just to find a way to install any unsupported plugins. If you will ever know the way, let me know
EDIT: To get unsupported plugins to works, we have justs to symlink the Plug-ins folder located in the data folder present in the external adopted storage (which is no writable) to a new folder located on the /sdcdard, which is writable.
I just graded to higher external HD from smaller HD. My device is not rooted and stock. I don't how I managed use my original HD as my plex server for all my movies. Now trying to figure out update it where the shield would recognize the new HD
Thanks for this guide, got it all working! Apart from one thing....
For some reason Plex is not downloading all the metadata, movie posters etc. It will only download maybe a handful or two, but not my whole library.
I had no issues when Plex was on the internal storage, but a nightmare now on the external storage. What can I do to fix this please?
Be sure to follow the guide step by step, even steps 9, 10 and 11.
Pay also attention to give the r/w permission when Plex will ask for them (it is pretty easy to dismiss the request).
I moved Plex data on two devices following this guide, and always worked without any troubles.

I've followed the guide exactly, especially those steps. Still don't get why it's only downloading some metadata and not all my library. Will have to post a screenshot later
Without root
I belive it shoud work also without root doing this:
1. Enable Developer mode
2. Enable ADB via usb in developer
3. run:
Code:
adb devices
4. Give permission on the screen
5. run:
Code:
adb shell
6. run:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb
(this will uninstall the app from curent user 0)
7. Reinstall Plex Server form store
