I restart my phone because of a few software issues. I have removed them. Is there a way I can move my software that I use a lot to internal memory and do away with the long awaited scanning media and media completed. It seems like it take some time to boot up because of this. Is there anyway to stop this before it runs on a reboot. I have the Infuse with the ROM that came with it. I don't like working when new ROMS are not free from bugs yet. I have a locked Captivate sitting here next to me to remind of ROM's issues. All I would like to do is stop the Media from scanning my SD card. and move things to my internal memory to speed up the process. Any help would be great. And thanks
1. Root ur phone
2. Go to market and download "rescan media ROOT"
3. Disable media scanner
Doing this will stop media scanner from starting automatically.

I'm seeing that having apps on my SD card (as I expected) is becomming kinda of unstable. Like if the card is slow and dosen't load fast, or some times rebooting messes them up. There are some apps that I would like to give the Higest priority (Chomp, Taskill..) My quest is: Is there a way to move some apps to the phone? or just install them to begin with?
Thanks,
Hello, this is my first post so bare with me.
I have recently encountered a problem with the media scanner & media related apps in general.
For example, sometimes my phone would run media scanner for 30 minutes straight without stopping, and I would have to clear data on the media storage app to stop it, but that is very annoying as it clears my music playlists as well. Even apps such as dropbox has problems as well. For example, when I try to upload some pictures, the pictures dont show up and just freeze my phone for around 2 minutes or so. And as I open media related apps such as gallery or music player, the phone would freeze again. It is getting quite annoying, and I would like to know how to solve it.
I have tried various ways, such as formatting SD card, repairing SD card (even though there isnt corrupted files) and more.
I am on a stock ROM, not rooted. On a galaxy s2 LTE (Canada Rogers variant)
just try reformatting the sd card again - hilarious.
no seriously that isnt a terribly clear question, sounds like your having all sorts of issues,
you could try
1. resest to factory defaults - if it was working fine when you got it
2. install a custom rom - if its been happening since you got it
Thanks for your reply , but I think it happened after I installed a certain app. I will see if this problem occurs again. (Stopped it with clearing data from media storage again)
First time post...
I received a Zeki Quad Core tablet for Christmas and, while I have been pleased with the performance, I am not pleased with the lack of available memory. I bought a 32Gb micro SD card which I thought would help, but apparently the way Android manages memory that wasn't the full solution. After several attempts to fix this (e.g. modify the vold file), I came across Link2SD which seemed to solve the problem. I now have quite a few apps loaded on my device, and no noticeable slowdown (I made sure the micro SD card was a class 10).
However my dilemma...more of an annoyance. The device boots up fine, but whenever it goes to sleep (either because I don't swipe the lock to open up the device, or the amount of time has elapsed with no activity), when I wake it back up, three things can happen:
-- The device works normally. This seems to be the least frequent result.
-- Several apps suddenly crash (you get the "Unfortunately" message). You still have functionality, but it's limited.
-- The black screen of death. This seems to be the most common.
I can only think that it's Link2SD contributing to what the issue is because the external SD card may not yet be activated. I do see in the upper left corner when I start the device "Preparing SD Card" or something to that effect. So I am wondering if waking the device up something is trying to access the card because Link2SD now has an app linked to it and it's not ready, causing the app to fail (and subsequently the device), or otherwise.
I can tell you that none of the system apps have been moved. I do not have the paid version of Link2SD (although I am considering it if it can remedy the problem by moving obb data or such...). If anyone has experienced similar problems, or there is a solution known, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi there,
The best place to receive an relevant answer is to ask directly on the developer thread from here:

Also please see this guides:

Good luck
is there a way to have media scanner run only on demand, like "rescan media root" does, but *without* having your phone forget your ringtone choices, or really anything else external that it has already detected before, upon reboot?? Ive even put the ringtones i currently want to use on the internal SD card... but it still forgets my custom added ones.... it sees the factory things just fine without the scan...
i like the idea of saving battery by running on demand, but i hate the idea of having to manually run it and then reselect my ringtone choices upon every reboot....
has anyone else figured out a good way to do both things without extra work on your end?
I am using a Poco X3 Pro with Arrow OS (based on Android 11) installed and rooted.
I have a high capcity microSD card installed (legit and fully functional), and selected my Spotify downloads to be on the microSD card.
The issue is that every time the phone restarts, Spotify revert the download location back to the internal storage. I can go into the option and select the external storage again, but all the files that were previously downloaded would be gone.
This is particularly frustrating as right now I do not have access to a reliable Wi-Fi (I have access to an unreliable Wi-Fi that is throttled down to something like 20-50KB/sec) so it takes forever to re-download. And.. even if I had a fast connection, it would still be quite frustrating.
1. Has anyone encountered / solved this issue before? If so, could you please share the solution?
2. I have done a bit of Googling on this issue, and it seems to be pretty common. One suggestion I have seen is to stop Spotify from automatically starting on boot. Some people have suggested the the issue is caused by Spotify loading before the external storage, and revert to internal storage as a result. However, I haven't figure out an easy way to do that. Is there any apps I can install to manage (i.e. stop) apps from auto-starting? I am kind of hoping for a pretty easy solution, or if necessary a pretty detailed how-to.
Thanks a lot.
I am facing this issue since very recently too. I use a Redmi Note 10 pro running Project Elixir rom (based on Android 13) and rooted. Tried changing roms and tried the fixes suggested previously, which was to delay the startup of spotify app after the device boots and to disable boot receivers through adb shell. None of them have worked so far. The downloaded music keeps moving back to internal storage from sd card after every reboot no matter what I do. Hopefully there's a fix for this soon.
