What could make my gallery not read my pics. I have to use quikpic. Or even winamp not reading mp3's. I have to use poweramp. Thanks in advance. Tried reformatting sd card once and still didn't work.

Hm, you check the format of the pictures or the music? Sometimes the gallery or media players don't understand some formats.
My pics are jpg and music mp3. Should be read. Thanks for responding.

you tried quickpic and it didnt work?? what i would suggest is removing the sd card from your phone. then saving all of the media (media only!) on the computer. format the sd card on the computer (fat32). then put the sd card back in your phone. format it on the phone. then connect the phone to the computer and copy all of the media back onto it. reboot recovery. clear cache and fix permissions and see if it works.
Thats the thing. It does work with quickpic. And poweramp plays fine. Gallery is useless. Lot of other players wont read mp3. Have reformatted in past on PC too.

go into cwm and fix permissions.
Done that. Doesn't matter which rom I use also. Thanks.

then you are doing something wrong. if quickpic can see the pictures, then it is not a hardware problem. go to setting and manage applications and clear all data, cache and updates to the gallery. then go back and fix permissions.

Did all that and still not working. Took couple of pics and they came out in gallery. Restarted phone and now they cant be found. In quickpic I have to show all hidden for them to show. Might be something about the tags. Don't know.

this one is perplexing. can you try to switch the apk with one from another rom and see if that works?

I hope this helps and you resolve your problem.
Dude same was happening with just check your SD Card for errors from your PC...My problem was fixed after this no need to format or change your ROM just check for the errors from your PC.

Hi.
My gallery app doesn't find any picture of my SD card. There are a lot of them placed in "SDcard\dcim\camera" but none is present when I launch gallery. Even the app doesn't show anything when I open the image from the explorer. I have wiped and reinstalled CM 5.0.5.3 but problem persists.
I'd want to find any other similar app to view pictures on my nexus, suggestions?

What format are the pictures? What are the filenames? Size?

They are pictures and videos taken by the camera so pictures in jpg and videos in 3gp. If I make another picture it appears on gallery but after a while it disappears like the others.
Strange, isn't it?
I have the same problem... I tried wiping all/flashing and nand restore a few times. I even formated my sd card... nothing.
Actually after I formatted my card, it worked for 30 seconds...
Could it be some kind of virus ?
From what I saw, it happened after I did a metamorph change. But since then everything has been formatted a few times so I doubt it's the cause of my problems...
Please help.
Got everything back !
What I did is, as I intalled Beautifull widgets just before I had the problem and uninstalled it, I searched my card for all the files that were saved during that time and just deleted them...
It works, no problem, no issue.
hope this helps

Ok, quick question, I have duplicate folders showing in my music player, I've looked to see if there actually are duplicates, which there are not but in the location details of the folder both are pointing to the same place, just saying it different... mnt/sdcard/....
sdcard/....
I don't have an external sdcard installed at the moment, for some reason my phone wont read it and says it can't recognize the file system.... how do i fix the duplicate folders issue? And if anyone has any comments on the ext sdcard issue, they're more than welcome share... thanks.

You should be able to fix it if you wipe data for media storage.
That wont erase my music, right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
No.
Also could be 'media bug'. CM9 and SlimICS don't have it.
Those cached items can be a pain. I had mine after deleting images and leaving thumbnails.
Cleared the data from media storage, and rebooted my phone, duplicate folders were gone but so were all my playlists... restored them with mybackup pro and rebooted only to find it not only restored the playlists but the duplicate folders were back... going to try it again this time without restoring the playlists and see if the dups stay gone... will update.

Never had it happen on the 4g but it's happened once on my Skyrocket. Still don't know what the cause was. Every time I rebooted I'd have one more set of songs as well as photo's from the gallery. I ended up just reflashing, but someone over there had this as a suggestion

I think poweramp allows you to see track locations. Long press a song and check where it's located on the sd card, then long press the duplicate and check where that one is. Maybe there are just 2 copies on the sd card, if not then it's a library problem with poweramp. You can always rebuild the library.
If you were using jetplayer it could be because it builds a database and other players like poweramp does that also. If you dont have two actual copies then its because of a database creating two listings in your playlist.
another thing to try is sd maid. It should pick up the duplicates if they are there and allow you to remove them. Not sure if you can remove singly or in groups tho.

Ive got sd maid and I thought about using it actually. Would uninstalling jetAudio fix it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Maybe if it removes all the db files on uninstall. Is your music saved in the media folder on your sdcard or another folder? I know on older versions of froyo and gb there was a bug that if music wasnt in a folder called media then it would show up twice because media scanner would create a fake media folder and non stock players would see it and duplicate the songs.

So, im running aokp m6.. I pushed the music player from cm9 to system/app and all was well. Now all of a sudden, none of my music files are showing up. Tried downloading a music player from the market to see if that would work, nope. Any ideas?
Do you see them using a file browser?
If you do then try deleting the data for the music app and see if it comes back. Also try playing the music from the file browser and see if it refreshes the directory then.
If you don't see them in the file browser then connect the phone to computer and see if it shows on the computer. If it doesn't then maybe something deleted it.

Weird, but for overkill protection, I suggest booting to recovery, and doing a wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions combo. But my guess is it was a permission error

Is it only those two folders not showing?
Are both the internal and external SD card showing?
Are they, by some chance, marked as hidden?

In your Windows Explorer folder settings / options, there is an option to "show hidden files".
Also, you can view the info of a file or folder on your Android from a file browser.
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
do you have a file manager type app? can you see /sdcard/DCIM from that?
there isn't nessesarily a "sdcard/music" folder unless you created one, the media scanner will find music and photos no matter where they are stored. the files would be stored in /sdcard/download if you used the browser to download them, they may also be in folders that are created by apps if you use some mp3 downloader app.
the lack of */DCIM would be odd though. unless you use a 3rd party camera app.
Yeah I use root explorer and I can access it with no problem and on windows I already tried to show hidden files too.
Already tried going to stock.

If they're not hidden, I wonder why they don't show in Windows when the phone is plugged through USB...
Do you have a USB micro SD card reader dongle?
If so, try taking the card out of the phone and plug it directly into your computer.
If the files show, something on the phone (somehow) is messing something up.
If they don't show, there's some sort of issue with the card.

You don't have to use it for the problem to show up. If it is installed it may be affecting it. Also, the .nomedia file is a hidden file so make sure show hidden files is turned on in your file explorer.

.nomedia isn't his problem.
He said everything shows fine when viewed on his phone.
He wants to view the files on his COMPUTER (pc) when the phone is linked with usb and storage mounted.
But those two folders won't show in WINDOWS.
The problem is entirely different from that thread.
Tavitos, have you tried plugging the SD Card directly to the computer with a dongle like I asked?
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
Oh I see, sorry. I misunderstood his situation.
That's quite strange though.. something similar has happened to me with my tablet before. Could somehow your usb connection be malfunctioning?
Maybe the cable or the ports?
What rom are you currently running? If the problem persists consider reflashing.

If the computer is popping up a folder at all when you plug it in, it wouldn't be the driver...
So they're on the internal SD?
Hmm... On a whim, take out the External card, boot up your phone, then hook it up to the computer and see if those folders show.
