My Dropbox account seems to be set up just fine. I've uploaded from my phone photos, PDFs and text files with no problems. But I cannot upload the MP4 video files shot with my phone. When I go to select Share, then Dropbox, then I select which Dropbox folder, it says it's uploading to Dropbox, then the screen reverts and that's the last I hear of it. The videos never end up in Dropbox.
I've tried with WIFI and 3G/4G connections. I've tried uploading into various folders within Dropbox. Nothing works. Any ideas?
how many mb's are your videos. they can take awhile. do you have dropbox on your pc. if so, open the icon in your bottom task bar and see if it says "pause syncing". that would at least tell you it is up loading. i did a movie and it took about 2-3hrs on wifi, don't remember exactly, but "pause syncing" was always on till it uploaded. since yours are only phone videos would think they would be done in 10 to 20 minutes.
also check your db settings, there is one that says don't upload over 25mb unless on wifi. but, since you said you tried both, not sure that would be issue either--

Thank you Ken. I tried again with a smaller video and it worked. I'm not sure what the size limit is. But as far as I can tell, large videos do not take a long time to upload; they are simply not uploaded at all. It would be nice if Dropbox would include a warning or notice if the file is too large.
yeah, not sure of their limit
but my movie was 1.3gb
good luck

Is there a way to upload videos directly to youtube using 4g. My phone insists on waiting for wifi (which is slower than my 4G connection).
Wow, I think I found two workarounds.
1) Upload through QuickPic app (now better than gallery in yet another way).
2) Setup mobile settings in youtube to get an email address you can mail videos to.
Looks like you answered your own question.

Use the YouTube app.
Go to the settings on the app, select "Uploads", and select "On any network".
Then, select the video you want uploaded from within the app by selecting menu, then upload. And that's it, the video will start uploading using your 4G connection.
If you upload a large video (>2GB) you may want to make sure that your account allows large uploads first. I uploaded a high-def movie that was ~3GB only to find out my initial upload was rejected due to size. I had to do something in my Youtube account settings in the desktop version on my computer before being able to upload large files.
So I installed jelly bean when it came out. (Codename Android 3.6.0 at the time of writing, but the problem persists regardless of the specific rom I'm using). I noticed that none of the music players available in the play store can find my music on my sd card. They are all in a folder named mp3, but I even tried renaming it to music - no luck. Also, the only pictures I can see in my gallery are the ones that have been made since the installation of the current rom. Does anyone have an idea how to force the mediascanner to actually scan my media? Damn, I want my media so bad

I have no idea why your music isn't being picked up. That's usually never an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in.
As for the gallery pictures not showing up. Just download Quick Pic from the Play Store. The default Android Gallery has been crying to be put of out of its misery for awhile now. It's terrible and slow. Yes, you can transfer pictures to your device and the gallery will take 5 minutes to eventually display them. Quick Pic is superior and will instantly pick up any pictures you add. No waiting involved.

Thank you for the tip, QuickPic actually solved my gallery issue, what still remains is the music list not showing up in any of the players I have tried... (Winamp, Google Play Music, Apollo, just to name a few)
check if one of the apps in use is the media scanner in a constant state of reboot.
media scanner problems often are caused by malformed jpeg file, the bug usually lies in the Exif information, you can use this tool (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) to remove Exif information from the file, 95% chance that everything returns to work including music and video because the media scanner is shared and if it hangs on jpeg images then can not catalog other multimedia files.
you will lose data such GPS position but the photo itself will remain intact, many have pointed at Camera360 as one of the sources of these corrupted files and I can confirm that.
I got a similar issue before and is solved by copy all media to a pc, delete the files in the phone, then move them back, see if it can help you

That's an old issue that happened to some when they updated to JB back in July. So, welcome to July.

@madd0g you had better stay off the forums, you are completely useless...
If it's not fixed completely, run a search on your sdcard for files named ".nomedia" and delete them.

Alrighty. Just make sure there are none at the root of the SDcard or in folders where you want pictures to appear. Clockworkmod ROM Manager had a bug back a lil while ago where it put some .nomedia files in wrong folders, making people unable to find their music/picture.

I already had similar question posted. Got no resolution....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882847
Anybody have the solution? I am able to see pictures in gallery and videos on my MX player but no music?
I deleted nomedia (found one) and got rid of rom manager but still my music files don't show up with all the players. I can go directly to media/music via root explorer and play it though.
Go to your apps, find Media Storage, and then clear data & cache.
Download Rescan Media from the play store and run it. Wait for a bit (5 minutes should be good) and if you check in your music player(s) you should be able to see your music.
database or cache that the media scan builds is gone

I have done that and everything works fine. BUT! after a battery change or charge (plug in USB cable) the database or cache that the media scan builds is gone. Deleted or corrupted by something. Its back to the same state, no music, video, added ringtones or pics show until a rescan. What could be deleting it?
I've been googling for an answer and haven't found a definite. I've been using the youtube preload feature to preload videos while at home so that I can watch them later during down time at work without using up all my data. Lately though it seems like it will only preload a couple videos. I plug in my phone an am connected to wifi and I see the arrow appear on a couple videos in my watch later list but not all of them. Does anyone know what could be causing this? is there some sort of limit for preloading or maybe a bug in the app? I tried clearing both youtube and media storage data cache with no change.
update: I went into advanced settings in youtube app and uncheck the "HD video over wifi" and went back into watch later folder and now most of my videos have the preload arrow on them... so, could it have to do with a file size limit? I would really prefer to have them in high quality, but I also don't want to use up all my data to do so... i hope a file size limit is not the case or that there is a work around for it.
Same here
Hey, I have the same problem as my phone only preloads one or two (max) videos on my youtube app and I've actually unchecked the HD option already.
My videos are usually 1hr long, so they should probably be what, 200 / 300 mb each? (depending if they are 360 / 480 resolution)
Does anyone know if there is a limit imposed by YouTube or if this is "self-regulated" depending the available amount of free space in the device?
I have noticed this also. I don't want to burn my data at work and the preload only grabs a few videos. Some of mine are only 10 minutes but still not downloaded.

I tried this solution and the mobile Youtube app did preload more than it had before. Might give it a try http://lifehacker.com/preload-entire-youtube-videos-by-disabling-dash-playbac-1186454034
Same problem here. Preloading works sometimes, regardless of size or HD. Tested with cm 10.2 on encore and stock 4.3 on nexus7.
I would really like to know why and when are some videos downloaded.
Is there a way to capture YouTube debug or trace logs?
Any help appreciated...

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. Been looking online for a few days. I can't figure out a rhyme or reason as to why some videos preload (green arrow), some have a white arrow, and some have no arrows. I've attempted deleted and adding them again to the list w/o success.
additional note for some, if they haven't noticed...the setttings section mentions "wifi and charging" required, not sure if this is a factor for some, doesn't seem to be it for me
not sure where earlier post has the 'hd setting' to uncheck. was this an earlier version of the YT app?
still troubleshooting....hmmmm.
I do not know but the answer but my educated guess is that youtube only Preloaded some videos, as it has some constraints on cAche size. It does optimize ratio of loaded videos vs available Cache, that's why the videos load it are random
I am trying to download a video that can only be streamed through a specific app.
I believe the video must be downloaded in any form like cache or something, so I am trying to locate it and copy to somewhere else before it gets deleted.
However I cannot find the file I am looking for.
I have searched following folders while playing the video:
/data/data/[app] - could not find anything useful, only few MBs total (the video is 20 minutes long)
/data/media/0/android/data/[app]/cache - only few files, few KBs
/data/app/[app] - nothing but base.apk and lib folder
/sdcard - all folders here are irrelevant to the app
So where else could it be?
Am I wrong from the first place? Can it stream without saving on local device at all?
Thank you in advance.
Yes it will always atreme without saving any data on local device. If video were to be played like that there would never be a saperate option to download them.
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

You can use uc brouser to grab video while playing it. Just tap on the grab option to do so while playing any video

THanks for your reply. However the video I am trying to download can only be accessed by a certain app and it can only be streamed. Downloading through web browser won't work.
Use youtube downloader on pc. Or any video downloader for android. They can fetch those videos not grabbed by uc and other brousers
So, as we all know, the K1 tablet (both versions, I have the newest revision), comes with nVidia ShadowPlay built into for video recording, and when you activate manual recording, the videos are saved to the photo/gallery photo on the main tablet's storage and not to an external SD card. Well, it came to my attention that when I record a video, as in starting and stopping when I'm done, the OSD states "recording saved", I look in all the folders and there is no video saved to the tablet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no way for me to find out if it actually captures and records a video file or am I screwed?

That doesn't really help though, as I'm trying to locate the files so I can upload them to YouTube, or extract them and keep them on my PC so I don't run out of space as the files with ShadowPlay can get quite large, depending on the settings I use. The other problem is that the files are nowhere to be found on the SD card or internal storage, like, at all. I looked in all the folders, not a single MP4 file has been found, what am I doing wrong? What can I do to ensure that a file is actually written to the internal storage? Is there an actual way I can see where it stores the file? I'm getting kinda desperate here, because no matter how many times the app says "recording saved" it doesn't actually save a bloody thing. I must be doing something wrong.
I don't care about seeing the recordings on my tablet, I only care about being able to extract them from the tablet and uploading the files to YouTube from my PC after I copy them. Of course though, no one seems to ever reply to the threads I make anyway, so chances are, you'll be the only one to reply to them, which means this issue will get me nowhere after I reply.

So, does that mean that the files are in fact being recorded and saved, but are just "hidden" in some fashion? I'm just confused as to why they wouldn't give an option to show file in folder or the path, anyways, I installed the app and I do hope it works, that and I hope there's no weird writing permissions lol and thank you.

No worries, things like that can get frustrating lol As long as MX Player can find the video (might have to hit the little refresh button) you should be able to locate it

Just tried that program and worked like a charm, it copied the video file to a folder I made in ES Explorer, thank you so much!
Though I do wonder though, where it's storing the videos beforehand, the file explorer shows a folder but cannot be accessed by normal means, I'm thinking it's hidden, and this thing is rooted, so I don't know lol. :laugh:
