I'm on CC4.2 right now and I've been usin it for months now, however today I rebooted my phone and suddenly all my internally stored photos aren't showing up (eg: gallery), only Sd Card media are shown. However I can still open my interal photos in their folders individually (DCIM, etc) I tried a media scan but no good. Earlier (yesterday) i tried the gallery app Lumiffic and it was enhancing some photos, but i stopped the process. Could it be the cause?

I'm experiencing the problem that after I download mp3's or photos by ftp or lan, that these are not registered in the music player or photos application. Also moving around my photo's doesn't update the photo albums.
I'm looking for a way to trigger the rescan of the SD card, similar to the process that happens after turning the phone on where you can see the photo app refreshing the images.
1) Is there a way to manually trigger this scan? A function somewhere, a widget or even a pointer to an android java call will do?
2) Is there a way to soft remount the SD card as in without pulling off the backcover as a workaround. I know you can unmount it in the phone storage settings, but can't see a way to remount it.
Also interested, but for the "Music" app. Copied in a load of MP3s last night, but they don't appear.
Get SDrescan from the Market
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
So my gallery randomly chose to no longer display any photos from my storage. The only photos it shoes are the ones that sync from Google+.
I've tried all the typical wipe cache, data, etc but to no avail.
I also noticed that when I connect my phone to my pc via usb nothing shows up in the "internal storage" but if I use any file explorers (i.e. Root Explorer) on my phone everything shows up like normal.
Any ideas?
Seraching through internet about the same problem I've found solution:
Remove battery for 1 minute, and all photos will be back (at least in my case went back)....
I have no clue why is this happening, but I'll try to find out.
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
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.
