Issue with internal sd card - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Alright so for some reason my internal card loads, but apps like my music player and photo gallery don't see files. But when I go into my file manager, everything shows. I'm running on CM9 nightlies 8/08 to be exact. I deleted the apps that I updated today and manually cleared out the caches, and the problem still persists. I don't get why everything shows on the file manager. I JUST WANT MY MUSIC PLEASE HELP ME

I should also note that I can play my music from the file manager. Just nothing shows up in stock player or music player pro

Same here, exact problem. Just started today, I got it back but out of nowhere, poof, gone again.

I wonder if it has anything to do with them shutting off Flash support today?

I'm gonna flash some cm10 roms since I haven't yet..Might as well use this as an excuse. I'll let you know if it persists over.

And it persists over to cm10. Something had to happen today for this to happen to both of us on the same day.

I took a picture and added some music files from my tablet, and they all show up. But nothing that has been on there will show up. THIS IS SO WEIRD.

It will be there until you restart then it will be gone again. This is not good. back up your files to your computer asap. I'm guessing our internal cards are about to give up.

Yeah I backed up my pictures already.

There has to be a bad file somewhere on the SD card. It keeps restarted the scan in Storage as I'm watching it every time it hits Misc.

I formatted my internal (by mistake) and its showing pictures I just transferred from my external to internal.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium

so you see the text "scanning media card" or something like that when you first boot? All I see now is "Preparing Media Card". My stuff is back now after clearing data in "media storage" in the app manager and then running the Rescan Media ROOT.apk but I'm sure it will vanish again like last time.

Just try formatting internal if it happens again. It sucked moving all my music back over but nothing has disappeared

I just read on Rootz that it was a ROM Manager mess up and it's been corrected...
"ROM Manager had an update that messed up a .nomedia file which has now been updated again to fix that. Perhaps that is the cause of your gallery issues?"
"Thanks! That was it. I actually had to remove updates to that app, and reinstall the latest to fix it. Great call."

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30320286&postcount=2
This fixed it for me. I manually deleted the .nomedia file with a root explorer program, make sure hidden files are viewable if you do this.
Additionally, I had to clear data in Media Storage under settings -> application -> All
Reboot to Recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot phone and everything should be back.
Make sure you update to the latest version of Rom Manager prior to all this.
I'm running SkyICS by Seanzscreams and just ran into the nomedia problem today, so its not an isolated issue CM10

Can't back up rom

I'm wanting to test out another rom, but for some reason I cannot back up my existing rom in cwm. I'm currently on CM7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hold power and both buttons on the volume rocker until the phone reboots. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of power, but keep holding the rocker down. This boots you into recovery.

Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Well still no luck. After the back up says complete, this is the log info.
No/sdcard/.android_secure found.

so I reboot the phone after that, went into cwm and there's no backup from the back up list. :/

Even the internal storage is pretty much open. I have no music/videos/anything. Maybe a couple apps and that's about it.

Have you recently tried to move any files between your SD card and PC? Sometimes cards can become corrupted, or certain files at least can also become bad and not read. The more you mount and unmount the more degraded it gets. If you tried to delete any files, did you accidentally delete something from your internal SD?
Not that I'm aware of. When I get home ill try transferring a small file over. As far as the internal SD card its fine.

Phone not recognizing sd card

All,
Last night my charge had trouble reading my sd card. I could not see any thing in gallery, my music players couldn't find any music, yet file expert could see everything. Ad could the computer. I copied everything off the card to the computer so the data is safe.
I've tried a new card, reformatting them in recovery, mounting them in recovery etc... all to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas as to the cause and solutions? Thanks.

Don't know if it's a common issue within the ROM or not. I'd try posting in the thread for that ROM to see if others had this issue and have found a fix. If not, you may need to reflash to correct.
Have you messed around with an app like rescan media root or other that can stop the media scan from occuring at boot? Without the initial media scan none of the media related apps will be able to "see" the data on the card.

Nope. In fact I downloaded Rescan media to make sure I was scanning it.
Pulled the battery and the phone wouldn't boot. Took it to VZW, and they got it to boot and the SD card was recognized.
So now I'm going to take Voodoo lagfix off and load TweakStock and see if that makes any difference.

SD Card (Internal Storage) Problem [Solved]

Ok, just today my pictures + videos stopped showing up in MX Player or Gallery. My music shows up after an extensive scan from Poweramp (87 seconds when it normally only takes 10-20 seconds) I can also access storage via a file browsing app with no problems. I've already tried fixing permissions to no avail. Any idea what could be happening? Help?

I deleted the .nomedia file but google music still doesn't see the 5gb of music on my phone when i check the box that says on device only. It gives the me message saying to see my full library to uncheck on device only. I'm running the 8/2 build of JB with the built in kernel on my NS4G.

Did you guys update rom manager? If you're stock, I don't believe there's anything you can do (nothing I've heard of anyway) If you're running a custom ROM, try reflashing the ROM and gapps and they should show up. (Read in another thread that it worked) Rom manager really screwed us over.

this happen to me and i solve it.
del ".nomedia" at the root path of sdcard, and then reboot. the media service will scan you sdcard, after a few minute you will find you media files again.

What I did:
Update Rom Manager -- delete any .nomedia files from your sd card -- clear cache/data on gallery/music/etc -- clear data on media storage --wipe cache/dalvik -- reboot Flashing won't get rid of the .nomedia files on SD
Maybe some unnecessary steps but worked
Found another instance of the .nomedia file. Found it by going in the Android folder then into the Data folder. Deleted it, cleared cash in gallery and music, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik then rebooted phone. It now sees my music with the on device only box checked.

Music files not being detected by any music player:

Hello everyone
I bought a note 10.1 2 days back and am loving it except for a very weird problem ...
I downloaded two music files and they show up perfectly then I inserted my phone's sd card and transferred all my music to the internal memory.
Then the weird thing happened ... I rebooted it but none of the files show up in any music app except for Rocket Player ... I tried Many music players but none could find my music... it can be seen by the the manager and individual files can be played... but they dont appear in the music apps...
Ive tried apps like rescan media to force run the media scanner but no luck...
Please help as its driving me mad

No problem with mp3's.... Dumped on either internal or external storage with no problems.
If someone has put a .nomedia file in the folder with these files then they won't be read. Only thing I can think of as to why they're not being found....
I have all of them in internal memory in a Music folder and checked using the stock file manager es file explorer and also astro file manager to ensure no .nomedia files are present but it still wont work...

music players cannot access storage
I am having the identical issue, but clearing data/cache of media storage hasn't helped.
I have also put a memory card and moved the music to that, but has the same issue. I have tried the built-in music player and PlayerPro, both are the same. Both players have the option to navigate by folders, but folders are shown. Its as though the music players are unable to access the internal and external storage.
My device is not rooted, updated to latest software available 4.1.2

You could try using Rocket Player? That was the only app that worked when I had this issue...
Thanks, I've downloaded rocket player and is seems to work.
However I first noticed the issue after having a similar issue with a video fx app, as was unable to add music tracks, due to none of the storage folders being available to the app. So was hoping to find a fix.

"0" folder

Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.
