Media scanner is running?

Recently my phone wont allow me to open either my camera or gallery and the message of 'Media scanner is running will appear'.
Does anybody know what I can do to stop this from happening? I've searched a bit and haven't found any definitive solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has to complete before you can use files on external sd card. The bigger the card, and the more files on the card the longer it takes.

Its been like this for several days and it has never done this before. What exactly is it doing?

Also, I am unable to open the market. When I do a force close comes up for android.process.media. This is very annoying :/ I haven't downloaded anything new or change any system settings recently before this problem starting occurring

Trying scanning that sd card with a desktop. Under Windows7 after you insert the sd card, click on, Computer>(your sd card)>(right click)>properties>tools>error checking>Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors (option)>start. After it completes put it back into the phone and see if the scanning media message goes away.

Didn't work
There isn't actually any apparent message in my notification bar or anywhere else that says the media scanner is running. Unless I try opening my camera or gallery is when a small message appears that says "Media Scanner is running"
Even when I try to add a new alarm it says android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly and I have to force close. This is getting frustrating :\
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The media scanner is disabled - grab media scanner root from the market and re-enable then the process will complete. If you are not rooted, or upgraded and lost root (like me) then a factory restore will clear that setting.

Are there any other alternatives to doing a factory reset? I would but I'm unable to open mybackup pro due to the media scanner running as well and I have some apps that are not saved in my market apps and are no longer available on the market either. I would rather do a factory reset as a last resort in this case.
Any other suggestions? Thanks again for everyone who has provided feedback regarding my problem, I really appreciate it

I think that the factory reset is your only fix for this or like the dude said try to root and cant you go to your google account and go to the dashboard and make sure everything is synced? I noticed that when I did az factory reset alot of my apps are gone but if I look on my pc on chrome go to market and check my account it is all there everything I have ever purchased or downloaded.

Thanks for the advice.
I just logged in online like you suggested but I still don't see some of my apps that were previously available on the market and no longer are. Specifically some of my rom stuff for snes and what not.
How can I back these apps up before I so a factory reset? Is there a way I can save them via USB?
Thanks again

i727 Minimal Startup

I want to share my list of startup items which I use to achieve nearly instant-on. The list is the bare essentials to boot the phone without the CPU hanging at 50%+ usage after boot for more than a minute.
Currently it is as follows:
Android System - Nothing will work without this
Calendar Storage - This is a personal choice because I use the calendar
Google Services Framework - This is a requirement for calendar storage above
Email client (K-9 Mail for me) - This is YOUR email client, not necessarily the Email app that is stock
Media Storage - This is to initialize the SD card
SNS - If you have anything setup apart from a google account, you should initialize this
Superuser - For all apps that require it at boot
That's it for mine, the bare essentials to get your phone booting plain is below now:
Android System - Nothing will work without this
Media Storage - This is to initialize the SD card
Keep in mind, the phone will boot fast with this but you may not have a launcher waiting for you. You probably wont have social networking things working off the bat without opening an app or two. The system will open a lot of other apps because of services installed regardless and since they haven't been initialized, you will have high CPU usage for a while which drains battery REALLY fast.
To give you an example, I disabled Google Framework Provider and when my widget went to grab the calendar list, the provider had to be re-initialized with all the dependencies, took about 5 minutes, ~70% CPU usage, 10% battery.
Try the list, play with the settings and let me know what happens below. Of course I take no responsibility if you rape your phone and it leaves you.

Sweet! thanks!

I know you can freeze sim tool kit, I believe you can even erase it if you don't switch sim cards regularly. Signal goes away for a second and comes right back, and sticks. Sim toolkit is for switching between different sim cards.

Never comes back for me, I'll try it again. If it works out then I will update OP.

Cool. Trying to help.

Okay, I stopped SIM toolkit, lost connection as expected. It came back as you described. BUT my data connection died a bit later and never came back, the best I see is edge.
I think we should explore this further.
EDIT: Left it off overnight and now everything is good. I'll update the OP as soon as I find a computer.

It just wont open it really wont do anything. Every time i try and open the text messages the phone lags and a black box pops up and then immediately closes it. It doesnt even stay open long enough for me to read it. So what I ended up doing was doing a complete data wipe and re-flashing and reinstalling everything. I havent had an issue since I have done that. The only bad part was I lost all of my txt messages.

Sounds like it could have been a couple of things. The message database could have been corrupted. Also, the stock messaging app really doesn't like large SMS databases.

Maybe a bad download of the ROM depending on whether you installed it in CWM... Can't have a bad download with the Odin (or the update in Tweaktools), as it checks the integrity of the file.

I actually just had this problem last week. I was using the stock msg app but it also affected my phone function and any app that needed to connect to a data connection. All apps force closed.
Another note is that this was immediately after an hour long session of using wifi tether over 4g. I rebooted and after boot almost no apps responded and my phone heated up (I assume applications were looping in the background after failing to open running the processor at 100%) so i turned off and went into recovery. Factory reset did nothing, clearing cache did nothing and i couldn't try any other apps due to the phone crashing. Only solution i found was a complete reflash of Tweaked.
I fear this happening again in the future so i figured i'd post my similar experience.

Droid Charge Won't Erase Properly, Help!

My Charge has a new quirk. Every time I do a factory reset, it takes forever on the droid animation, then loads and lists apps that should have been erased as stopping unexpectedly. Every time. Didn't matter whether I selected it from the menu on the phone, or held the up/power/home buttons.
So I fired up Odin 1.85 when I got home, selected the Charge pit file and CI510_VZW_EP4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL706183_ship.tar.md5, told Odin to Re-partition, Auto Reboot, and F. Reset Time, and it took forever to reboot. Upon rebooting it again started listing a whole bunch of programs that should have been erased as stopping AND that the Setup has stopped unexpectedly.
I've never seen this kind of weirdness before. Just ran Odin again with a much older file (CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5) and I am waiting for the phone to finish the animation and boot up. Just now the droid animation entered a loop, listing Droid, showing the eye for a bit, then repeating. Joy.
Guess it is time to try a more recent file.
Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong with my phone? Wondering if the rom is bad and I will be without a phone for a while.

I've had this before. I think I ended up spamming with the PIT until it got the hint and erased everything. You can try SamsungPST too...

That sounds like it is worth a shot. I'll try it tomorrow. Spent 56 minutes on the phone with Verizon covering it. Took 12 minutes to boot up once. 9 minutes another try.

how are you doing the factory reset, via CWM or in the phone's settings?

Base phone, it is not rooted. Vol up, home, power or from inside the phone's option. Both still leave 17 apps that are not part of the base rom and a mix of updates for things like the Play Store. Same when I format the phone with a PIT file and the most recently complete rom I have.

I do expect the animation to take some time to boot up again (similar to when wiping cache/dalvik) after a reset. what are some of the apps that show up? are you able to delete them manually?

I have not been able to get the Market to work for adding to this phone. So far is seems limited to browser, calling, texting, and camera. Almost every app FCs. Also it no longer tries to run and FC Setup, and some of the Market's updates remain. lol

those all look like 3rd party non-bloat apps.
are any of these apps stored on your SDCard? if so, then that could be the reason. if not, then.....
what happens when you try to uninstall them via TiBu?
what happens if you just try to flash a new ROM via CWM? here's what I would do: flash in ninjaROM's FP5 build via CWM and see if that clears everything out (making sure to wipe data/factory reset, mount system, then install zip

Remember, STOCK, not rooted. Show up even with SD card removed before booting. Stayed even through reformatting with a PIT file. Last through factory resets. Freaky. "New" phone should be here tomorrow.

Can you flash a kernel? If so you could try flashing pbj then using ext4 formatter to see if it works.

Worth a shot, but as I said, my replacement is coming in tomorrow. Just a freaky problem. I didn't even know the rom could accept 3rd party items and be edited on a stock phone.

So far so good on the Charge replacement. Had some issues getting wifi net access working (ended up manually putting in settings, then it cleared up). Still has some software quirks (set dock to never come on, hit home to exit FoxFi and there is the car dock screen) but it works as well as the other did before it died.
Hurry up and release a new Nexus phone worth having, Google! Something better than a GS3.

How do I fix allshare?

I sign in with my Samsung account and this is what I get. If l I refresh the register this device goes away and I just see a grey area. If I click on skydive none of my files show up.b tried clearing cache and data on allshare related apps to no avail. From what I understand my phone should automatically register. Running cleanrom 6r2 thanks
