[Q] guaranteed library from micro sd card solution - Microsoft Surface

My problems started today when the music and video apps stopped showing anything from sd card.
Then I got 176 songs from a total of over 1000....
I already gave up on pictures but I at least thought videos and music would always work.
And I took this tablet with me to Korea so stuck with it for the foreseeable future.

I am confused, what is your question -.,-?

Anyone else having this problem?

What happens if you double-click one of the missing songs using Windows Explorer? It should play then.
It's possible that the app's library database got messed up somehow (perhaps the card lost connection while the app was running?) and needs to rebuild, which takes some time.

Hi, you might want to try this: http://www.teamradicus.com/post/Surface-and-SD-Card.aspx I had similar problems when I had my SD card mounted to a C:\SD folder (I was seeing files that do not exist and not seeing new files and applications crashed when I clicked at those non-existing files) and this helped me to resolve that issue.

Yeah, I started going song by song and got some more back that way.
Playlists never recovered.

your card may be corrupted. Have you tried reformatting it? Do you have issues with other cards? Ever explored the card and saw nothing but gibberish?

Hi,
File transfer doesn't always play nice with files... When you remove files from your computer, they get removed from your phone as well. The same happens when you delete a song from the iTunes library. The same song gets deleted from your iPod upon a sync. You should check the preferences of your sync program whether there is some option to prevent this.

Do you have a file extension and have to check show all files under the menu in the file explorer.

[Q] Pictures being deleted after shutdown on G-tablet with Vegan.

So I have downloaded comics to read, some are in cbr format and some are in folders that are just jpegs. Now my problem is that I can view these jpegs files normally, but whenever I either shutdown or put my tablet on hibernate, the pictures will be gone after I power the tablet up again. The folders are still there but no pictures. ??? I don't understand why this is doing this, I've also had other pictures deleted too. The files are mainly stored on my 16gb microsd that I have installed. This has happened to me about 3 times now. Is it the app I am using or some setting in the tablet that for some reason deletes photos after viewing?
I also read somewhere on another forum that this is a known issue with Vegan and to solve this problem I am supposed to create a file and call it ".nomedia" and am supposed to put this file where my picutres are on my microsd card. I have also tried this to no avail. Now maybe I am doing this wrong, I only created a text file and then called it ".nomedia" I also copied this file into every folder and sub folder where my pics are getting deleted.
Oh yeah my g-tablet is rooted with Vegan.
Please help me because this problem is very annoying.
Thanks,
Afrowookie
Any suggestions
is there anyone not experiencing the same problem?

Empty playlists on SD card

I am having an issue with playlists. I am currently running on TouchMIUIwiz v2.0. I have never encountered this problem before.
Anyway, in a nutshell, my playlists are deleting whenever mediascan runs upon boot. If they don't delete, or even when they do, the playlists are still read in music players, like PowerAmp, AOSP music player, MIUI player, etc., but are completely empty. Playlists show but with no tracks.
Playlists were generated by mounting the phone as mass storage and saving playlists in the same folder as my music (sdcard/Music). I use Winamp to make and save playlists.
I tried formatting my memory card to no avail. I read that this problem happened on some forum after deleting "albumthumbs" folder. But I had that folder deleted on my Optimus V's sd card and it had no problem. Copying that backed up folder to my sd card didn't work.
I tried searching for solutions on many forums. I tried syncing with players, like mediamonkey. The problem still persists.
Is this a ROM issue? Or is it an sd card issue? Would Odin'ing work to fix the situation?
Edit: I have flashed Revolution's and John_2K2's Sensekick v1.0 rom and did not have this problem. It lies within TouchMIUIwiz. Though, it's weird. I had v1.1 and did not experience the problem. Now on v2.0 it happens. When restoring my v1.1 nandroid the problem exists. I tested the problem after a fresh install of TouchMIUIwiz v2.0 and it was still there. It must be some error in the rom. I'm hoping for a a fix.
Edit 2: Nevermind. Sensekick has deleted playlists as well. But media scanning isn't as bad. The playlist may be deleted but it still shows on music players with the tracks intact. I'm going to Odin to see if it will resolve the issue.
Sorry posted by accident was gonna reply then saw the edit

I'm going to Odin. Sensekick finally replicated the problem. So the issue may be lying within my phone itself.
Edit: I Odin'ed and flashed back to TouchMIUIwiz v2.0 and the problem still persists. I have no idea what's wrong. I also formatted my sd card via phone settings and still had the same problem. I don't know what to do at this point.

I redid everything you did, and im having the same problem..im confused as well, i hate the stock ringtones and rely on my phone for music. when i use Astro to check if the music is even there, it is, and so are my ringtones. i just cant play them using "Music" from google (or anything else) and i cant select my custom ringtones.. some times if i connect my phone to my computer and go to /sdcard then discconect, my music is there and it works for X amount of time (always different) then it cant see them again..
It's a problem with the TMW rom. Ayoteddy says he's looking into it. I ultimately reverted back to the stock deodexed KG2 rom. No problems whatsoever. No cool themes like TMW and may not be as fast. But at least my music, which I hold very important, plays fine with playlists.
The reason custom ringtones didn't work either is because of media scan. The way media scan runs on TMW is flawed somehow. The way it reads media is off. It won't start at boot, it misreads or deletes playlists, etc.
I miss using TMW. But until it gets fixed I'll have to stick to the old trusty stock KG2.
It's been fixed, try this http://www.multiupload.com/TQRZPPP411
This fixes the media scanning issue, and may also fix the gallery deletion issue.
I don't know the technical stuff behind this, I think I figured out the cause of the deletion of playlists. It happens when I restore a TB backup of Poweramp. Upon flashing a rom, media scan scans my sd card to see what files and playlists are on it and so on. So that playlist file path is saved. When I restore Poweramp, the restore file has the playlist saved within it already. So when I restore, it duplicates the playlist entry under one file path (again, this is my explanation, as I don't know the technical stuff behind it. Pretty much my educated guess). This causes a conflict and so while the playlist may still be existent within media players, the actual file is deleted due to the same file path conflict.
In TWM, media scan was edited in some script or something, explained by teddy and sduvick. It wouldn't scan on bootup. But after that was fixed, the playlist conflict was still existent.
Right now I am on GCv2 (GingerClone v2). Media scan worked fine and playlists read upon flashing. But deletion occurred after restoring Poweramp via TB. To fix this, I went into TB and wiped data for [PLAYLISTS] Media Storage 2.2.1. After that my playlists weren't deleted.
Sorry if it seemed I made it look like the TMW rom was at fault. I knew it had to be something on my end, one of my settings or backup restores. So thanks to everyone who helped try to solve this issue for me.

Help with Voicer Recorder

Hello, I recorded many files (.amr) on the Voice Recorder, but lately I noticed some of them can not be played. When you choose the file from the list, just shows 0.00 s and it doesn't start. Otherwise the file is not 0.00 s and it is not 0 MB. If it's copied to the PC can not be played either. The other strange thing is, that sometimes after recording the file works, but if you try next day it does not. Not all of the files are broken. Most works, just some does not. Maybe about 1 of 5 file just does not work. Also if a file which works is copied to another directory in SD card, the new copy is not working, even if the original still works. Checked for viruses, nothing was found, tried to record in other format AAL i think, still the same. Some work some do not. Please help if anyone had similar problem and found solution.
Use another software instead
Use "Hi-Q MP3 Recorder" from market

Thank you, I will try that one. Meanwhile I deleted most of the files and now seems better. Haven't had broken one yet. But I think when they get more the problem will start again. I had more than 25 GB free on the SD card, but I think the number of broken files is related to number of all files.
Your issue may be caused by a faulty micro sd or an inconsistent file system.

Windows 10 - Weird MTP problem

Hi guys!
I am using a OnePlus 6 with latest LineageOS 19.
For some time now I regularly encounter a weird bug when transferring files through MTP to my internal storage.
I listen to music in the form of MP3 files on my phone, which is why I oftentimes transfer whole music albums as folders to my phone.
During the copying process, sometimes the explorer window will just close. Windows explorer won't crash completely, it is just that the destination folder on my phone closes. And then, sometimes, my files do not end up in the right directory on my phone, but in the root directory of the internal storage.
I didn't find anything about this behaviour on Google or in the XDA boards. Also, according to Windows, my MTP drivers are up to date. Does anybody here have an idea what is up? Thanks in advance!

For just an idea i'd say its prolly something to do with music tags , album tags ; I mean copyright issues, I came across this kind of thing a couple of times in the past when I used to listen to music a lot but I had noticed back then that after 2010 when the copy rights enforecement was stronger globally it's sooo much more difficult to download music mp3 files & share them without paying for them. It seems like the newer builds of devices and OSes have something built into them regarding music copyrights monitoring that wasn't how it was prior to 2010, i surely notice that.
