when I go to open a gdoc on either of my notes, 2 & 10.1 it asks whether I want to open in es downloader or google docs. when I choose gdocs it freezes and restarts. when I choose es downloader it works but I don't like it.
it does not seem to do a complete restart as I noticed the sd card does not need to be re read and it is really quick. It also keeps my music playlist in the correct order and does not reset it.
I emailed the dev a few days back but no response. I tried uninstalling both and even reformatted my 2, unrelated. still does it, but only after the latest update.
any ideas how to fix this as I like both programs.

There were a few apps I wanted on my new gtab that I couldn't seem to find on the market after flashing the latest VEGAN rom since google filters apps according whatever device you are using to view the market. It was kinda driving me nuts since I have a few on my phone I wanted on my gtab. Then I remembered Astro File Manager allows you to "backup" apps you have on your device. In my case I have a Droid X and I wanted Yahoo Messenger but the market on the gtab wouldn't show it. So I downloaded and installed it on my Droid X via the market. Went to astro file manager backup tool and chose yahoo messenger and the video plugin. Backed it up. Astro saves all backed up apps to a folder on your sd card called backup. From astro i send it to my dropbox which I sideloaded before hand on the gtab. It makes it easy to send the files to the gtab. I know there are sites with alot of the freeware from the market, but if your like me I don't trust sideloading my apps from some random website and much prefer getting mine from the app market to insure it is as safe as it can be. Then this is an easy option. It works on any rom stock or custom. You can also setup an ftp server if you don't want to use dropbox. The stock rom has the ability to access ftp sites with the stock files manager ES File Explorer. Needless to say I have yahoo messenger + video chat working great on the tab. Be aware some apps I have tried simply will not work on the gtab unfortunately. If anyone found this helpful let me know, and if anyone needs more detail or a step by step guide let me know and I will write one up.
You can do the same thing with Titanium backup.
Hi there! This will be my first thread at XDA.
I've just upgraded my HTC Sensation from stock to InsertCoin 6.0.0, and also installed the Beats Audio media player.
While I removed my SD card, inserted it into my PC, and copied 274 mp3 tracks to it, the standard music player couldn't play any of the songs. Also, the Photo Gallery wasn't able to find new pictures anymore.
People told me that my SD card was bad, which I found a little bit strange. The app "File Manager" was flawlessly able to find all of the pictures, and also the music, which actually could be played by the HTC music player by the app itself. I think this is caused by a bug or something, so I found out the fix myself:
1. Download a file browser app like "File manager" or "ES File Explorer"
2. Delete the folder /sdcard/music (or format the SD card, but make sure to backup the content you wish to keep!)
3. Create a new folder called "Music" at the root of your SD card
4. Get the app "Wifi File Explorer" from Google Play
5. Activate the WiFi (All Apps > Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi for older phones)
6. Open the browser and insert the URL shown by the app
7. Upload a file, open the music app, and see if it plays. If it works: zip all the songs, send them to the phone, and unzip them by clicking "unzip" next to the folder in the browser.
If it doesn't, I'm afraid you'll have to format your SD card. (All apps > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card, and then Delete (Format) SD card)
Hope it'll help someone out there! Cheers
Edit: To avoid that this will happen again, connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable by the next time.
Edit #2: USB file transfer results exactly the same. I strongly recommend using Wifi File Explorer (or similar) to transfer desired data files between the PC and smartphone.
Playing music issues
Helou.
My GF reached your post looking for a solution to the same problem you had. Then she contacted me. In case you are still having this problem, is rather simply caused by a lack of trigger of the media scan. Every time you copy a media file to your phone's memory, it should trigger this action, but sometimes it doesnt happens (dont ask me why, it should). In fact, the solution you give is that the Wifi Explorer app correctly triggers the media scan. You can save precious minutes by just installing this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
And run it every time you copy/move files around from your pc to your phone.
If it helped, then update your thread with the solution, you never know when someone is looking for the same problem (then again, is one month old, maybe you're no longer here)
It worked for me.
I know this is an old thread and I didn't see where anyone noted that the solution worked. I have an HTC Incredible that was flaking out on me. The issue stated in this thread came up when I was reloading my music onto my SD card. I came across this forum and looked up the app recommended and it solved the problem. I am thankful for people out there who know what they are doing.
Hey everyone,
I was reorganizing my pictures on the sdcard when I began testing CM's new Gallery app (GalleryNext). At that time, I decided I wanted to reorganize my files. I used ES file explorer to search for a .nomedia file and copied the first result to the root of the sdcard while I looked a permanent place to put it after deleting and moving pictures. Looking back at the gallery, I noticed suddenly that all pictures disappeared from my gallery, which I expected.
However, after I moved the .nomedia file AND rebooted (several times), I've noticed my gallery is STILL empty. I also noticed PlayerPro doesn't see any music. My alarm app (Gentle Alarm) however still plays music to wake me up and the MediaMonkey app can see the music. What is going on? ES is set to show hidden files, the .nomedia files are where they need to be. I first cleared data on both Google and CM galleries (which didn't work), then I uninstalled Gallery Next (didn't work), and I tried SD Scanner which is an app that can trigger media scan on KK (I know the old methods don't work on KK). I also reflashed my ROM. After reflashing, I got ONE photo from my gallery to appear.

I also got this problem. My solution is transfer all files to computer, then format sd card. BUT all data will gone if you not backup first.such as RR3 data.

Yeah I just ended up copying everything elsewhere and reflashing the factory image, then re-doing everything. Although, it would have been nice not to. Just part of the gamble when using nightlies I guess.
I had the same problem few days ago.
I deleted appdata from settings, apps, all apps, gallery, then rebooted and used this app to fix it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.sdcard
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ok, this is probably a simple fix that I cannot seem to figure out. I have googled this OVER AND OVER with several old suggestions but nothing works. I assumed that the problem was rom based on my old phone, and hoped that I wouldnt have the issue on my new nexus.
The phone is a unlocked rooted stock Nexus 5 on the latest build. The problem is when I make changes in FX file explorer re-arraning photos to different folders, those changes do not reflect in the gallery app. I hit refresh, and no luck. I try connecting to the pc and that partially works. By partially I mean this. Say I moved 10 photos from Download to a new Nature folder, well SOMETIMES after I connect the phone to the pc, it will partially refresh meaning it may show the new folder but 5 photos will be in the new one, and 5 in the download folder. But when you go to FX file explorer, everything is organized correctly. Same on the pc folder tree.
Any suggestions for this? The problem is so random its driving me nuts....
Update: Never really thought to try using another file explorer, but ES File Explorer doesnt seem to have an issue updating the gallery :/. Guess I'll use that unless someone knows of a fix with FX.
My Moto G (First Gen 2013, on Lollipop) doesn't like deleting files anymore. I think this problem has appeared since the Lollipop upgrade a couple of months ago.
The problem is when I listen to podcasts (using doubleTwist), when I am done listening to a podcast episode, I delete it. This always worked fine in the past.
Now, however, when I try to delete either music files or podcasts from within doubleTwist, most of the time they appear to be deleted, but then show back up on the play list later. I assume this is because it gets removed from the dT database, but then automatically added back in because the file still exists.
If I go into the file system with ES File Explorer, I can see the file. I long-press on it, select delete, and then get a message "[Filename] cannot be deleted" if I do it with one file or "Sorry, operation failed" if I try with multiple files. (ES File Explorer shows the files as -rw).
This is quite frustrating, and I've not been able to find anyone with the same issue using Google. Thoughts?
Refresh or reinstall the app.Try this.
Maybe you encrypted your data.
I have been facing the exact same issue
In fact, when I try to delete videos from MX Player, I get a prompt saying something like "Cannot delete some files. Please check your storage in not mounted as read-only" and followed by something like there has been a change in Android Policy after the 4.4.2.
I have worked around the issue above for deleting videos by restarting the phone. Have not found a way to delete songs though
