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?

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.

I transfered some pictures from my mac to the captivate... After a while when i go in the gallery app my pictures are getting duplicated many times... Far as 5x each... And when i try to delete them it takes ages and i have to close the app or else it eats my battery... Anyone is having the same problem?

Photo Dupes
Here is a post from cgm8 (10th December 2010). See if it resolves your problem.
Ok..here is the fix from other thread
With root explorer delete:
- /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media/externalXXX.db
- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media
reboot
Good luck
photos keep duplicating themselves.
I too had the same issue. I would have 5 copies of each picture in my gallery. I was hesitant to delete the files recommended below with Root Explorer so I just used Root Explorer to rename the files (removed the db on one and the word media on the other) rebooted and many of the dupls disappeared on their own, the originals were fine. We'll see if it lasts.. also, anything I really did want to delete manually deleted very quickly.
I found the easiest way to deal with this is to go into manage applications>all>media storage>clear data...then reboot
problem solved..
I just downloaded sgs tools for captivate then apply the script "clear_thumb_db.txt"

Any idea as to what causes this?
well i fixed it using the manage apps option above.. just a few hours after it happened to me.. talk about timing!
This always happens to me if I root/unroot the phone with my sdcard in. If I take it out before hand its fine.
I just mount my phone and open all the massstorages and delete the thumbnail files in the DCIM folders and that works fine. You have to understand all the copies you see are thumbnails and deleting via the phone thru gallery can delete the real image...
i have never un-rooted..
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?

Is there supposed to be a nomedia file in that folder. Dcim/camera etc. I dont have one.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my folder is /DCIM/camera.
**EDIT**
I also have a thumbnails folder in /DCIM
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.
I'm running the latest sky pics. For some reason when I open photo gallery it shows duplicate images. 4 or 5 of the same image. Also does this with my music. I actually removed all my mp3s and when I open my music player, it still shows 3 of each song. But, they don't play. Almost like a cache. Any ideas?
You cross-posted on Q&A Forum, a big no, no.
just trying to get answer
Just needing answer to my question.
I was able to fix this by simply going into settings then storage and unmounting then remounting my SD card.

Thanks. I cleared cache and it fixed it.
Anyone know what would cause this? And what would fix it without going through 1 by 1?

Are you using a media player or something to sync music to your phone? That's the only time I've ever seen it happen.

I just installed Poweramp (again) butni dont think that would do it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
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.

+1 for SD Maid
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
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.
Can we get an ETA on when you'll find a solution for this? Trollololol.

I'm having issues with quickpic and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or have a solution. The other day I spent a ton of time "excluding" all the files and folders oF my dropbox and other random files. I open up quickpic and bam! They are all showing again. I haven't flashed a new rom or done anything of the sorts. I just don't understand why it keeps doing it to me and its getting annoying :/ help anyone?
Sent from my Apple pwner using xda premium
Did you try to uninstall and install Quickpic back? I think that should help, however I`ve never had that problem.
Well it stayed the same after I deleted it so lets see in a few days if they stay excluded :/

In stead of excluding folders (sounds very time consuming), just set it to scan certain folders only. It'll be faster, and you do not run by this risk of something showing up by accident. If excluding and you just change a folder name or if a mount point changes, they will show again.
Mine's just watching camera folder, pics, downloads, and movies. Simple, fast, and I'm in control.
An other advice:
In those few "watched" folders, add folders with a .nomedia file inside. Then stick all the sensitive stuff in there. It'll be hidden in your gallery every time you open quickpic, but you can get them to show up with a few buttons press (settings, show hidden)
They will be hidden automatically next time you open quickpic.
Nice if you got sensitive shots of your missus that you wanna keep for your eyes only, or if you got lots of system png's for customising gui, but you don't want them to clutter your gallery..

Yeah I use hidden folders for a lot of my icons and such my phone card is unorganized and stuff so my folders are just confusing xD

Somethings gone wrong on my quickpic and the way it handles dropbox photos.
I used to just have one dropbox folder showing, camera uploads, than last week or started showing loads of other folders from dropbox which I didn't want.
I deleted the cache on both apps and now it won't display anything at all from my dropbox account.
Does anyone know how to get quickpic to show dropbox files again?
