Hello,
I had a problem with my SD card, and had to format it. I copied everything in my laptop, format it and then copied everything back.
After that, any of my photos from the SD was not showing in the Gallery. After a quick google search, I installed media.Re.Scan , scanned whit it, and all my picture is now showing in Gallery.
Another thing I did was to clear cache in MediaStorage app. And I think that was the trigger.
After that default ringtones and notifications sounds was not showing in phone menu.
The only sounds remaining was a few from Hangout.
I try to restart, Safe Mode, uninstall media.Re.Scan ... nothing worked.
Please, any advice on what tot do, before I do a factory reset, as a last solution.
Thanks
SOLVED
Well, solved it.
Music app was set as default for audio files view. Cleared that and restarted the phone. And everything is in place now.
Hope this helps.

Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem since i first rooted my Nexus GSM: When using the camera, the clicking sound appears, but there is no new thumb in the corner and no picture saved in the DCIM/Camera folder. If I'm trying to do a video, the app crashes.
If somebody sends me a picture in Whatsapp, I see the litte thumb, but if i click it, nothing happens (and of course - no picture is saved on the phone).
I check the permessions for the camera and the DCIM-folder and I let the RecoveryMod fix all permissions. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
First I installed Revolution HD ROM, today I did a reset and installed AOKP ROM. Problem stays the same.
I hope you can help me!
EDIT: Checked data & media, too.. everything is rwxrwx--x
Ok, I fixed it.
If anybodye else got this problem: I simply deleted the DCIM & WhatsApp-Folder.
Don't know why i didn't try that before -.-
Sorry guys
permissions the cause
hi, i had the same problem. PERMISSIONS SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE....
I backed up and restored my memory with the tool kit.
Under "BACK UP OPTIONS" i selected "3. backup you Internal Storage [virtual SD Card]"
The only way i have been able to get around it is by changing the name of the dcim folder as i was unable to delete it.
note: i have also had various other problems with other apps. these apps had folders that were restored via the toolkit. in some cases all i had to do was rename the permission locked application folders. in other cases i had to rename their folder and create a new one with the original naming and sub folders
Ever since i installed one of the new JB ROMS, my Gallery won't sync with pics I copy to any folder on my SDCARD. If I reboot the phone, they'll show up. I reverted back to an ICS ROM and the problem persist. Any ideas?
That is why I posted this

Thanks for that post. I installed the updated gapps package referred to in your link. I then copied some pics to a folder on my SD card. They didn't show up in the gallery. I rebooted the phone and there they were. Unfortunately, your fix didn't work for me.
Sorry I misread your post. You have a different problem. Have you tried clearing data from the Gallery?
I've been having weird gallery issues as well. Check out SDRescan. This will force the media scanning service to kick off. It helped me with re-populating the gallery.
Also you can also clear data on 'Media Storage' but that will wipe out all your ringtone/notification settings.

Thanks! SDRescan does the trick (a workaround until this is resolved).
Flashed mySENSEv RC2.0 and going to keep it, as i finally decided the most suitable ROM for me to use. Anyway, I have a weird problem, after flashing, i had a little icon in bar which said "Phone storage is empty or unsupported files" and I was confused with this. I clicked it, and phone asked me to agree to empty PHONE storage. What happened? My SD Card got formatted... I am 100% sure it said do I want to empty phone storage. Anyway, i had most of my pictures and music on my another SD Card. I decided to download kernel and ROM again and now wiped the phone, flashed the ROM and finally got rid of that icon, as i thought maybe it was corrupted or something. Now when I got almost all my data from another sd card to this again, I have a new problem. My phone keeps saying on the music app "No music was found" and Gallery app "No pictures found". When I was on stock, when this happened I emptied media storage cache. Did it now too, rebooted and still this happens. Tried it few times. I am helpless, I can't understand what is wrong now. All was working fine before, even with this ROM before now! (I have been jumping through ROM's and this is the best ROM for me)
Edit: Oh great.. Found the reason.. Phone had emptied my Pictures, Music and Movies folder and I need to copy all the stuff there again. Hope it works now.
As someone who recently switched to using an android phone, I am still learning. That said, I've done something that's mucked up the phone, but I hope it's got a solution short of a factory reset.
I wanted to use a custom ringtone, so on the external sd card, I created a folder called ringtones, and put my ringtones in there. Within the contacts, I navigated to the external sd card, and selected the new ringtone. It used the new ringtone, but I didn't notice that the stock ringtones are now not showing up. They're still in internal memory; ES File Explorer shows them in their system location, but within the settings for a contact, they don't show up.
I thought that if I deleted the ringtones, the system may go back to having the stock ones showing up - nope, the selection window is blank, and the only options to navigate around, are to the external sd card, and the /0 partition on the internal memory (which doesn't show a way to get back to the system area anyways).
Rebooting, blowing away all the cache (via App Cache Cleaner), and within settings / application manager, and the Phone, Clearing Data (which also clears the Cache), and doing a Force Stop, also don't fix this problem.
My google fu is failing me. I haven't rooted my system, and if it is a matter of resetting Data or Cache, I don't know which category to do so. Best Buy's Samsung rep didn't know how to fix it. Samsung's tech support person on the phone wasn't able to remote into my phone via their Smart Tutor app (their system was having problems yesterday: they thought it may be a problem with too many people needing help).
What I did is affecting both the Ringtone selection and Message Alert selection. I plan on giving Samsung's tech support another call on Wednesday when they're open, but I was hoping that someone here may have some insight into this problem as well. Ultimately, I want to have both my custom and stock ringtones showing up and be selectable. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer. :good:
Do a factory data reset.

Thanks, Shaun! I was able to avoid something quite so drastic. I was on the phone with the advanced tech support team from Samsung, and they had me do the following things to fix it.
I deleted the ringtones folder on my external SD card.
In the App Manager, in the bottom left menu, I chose Reset App Preferences. Then back in the App Manager, I chose Contacts, then Clear Cache. I did a hard shutdown and restart of the phone.
At that point, my stock ringtones show up, and also any custom ones I have, that are now in the folder on the internal memory, in a folder called Ringtones, that was already made by the system, and visible at the top of the Phone folder, when I connect it to my PC via USB.
If anyone else ends up with this error, I hope this information helps them out! :victory:
great..

Thanks man...really helped me out.
So I just noticed today when I select artist in samsung music, the app crashes. i have wiped data, wiped cache and rebooted but it still does the same thing. All the other tabs work just fine, just not artist. Anyone else seeing this or have a suggested fix for it?
Anyone have this problem?

Originally, I didnt have any music locally stored on my device. After seeing your post, I found a few mixtapes(full albums), downloaded them, extracted the zips and they all work without any problems including using all of the tabs in the music app. So i'm not sure where the problem for you may be...
Edit
Are you running in ART mode?
Ok, here's the deal. So last night i pulled the SD card, wiped all custom files that are written from the phone (android folder etc. ), wiped the internal device storage and factory reset. The problem is now gone. I don't know what caused it but now it's fixed. Chalk one up to dumb luck.
