media missing after JB!

NEED HELP!
I have been testing out several JB ROM available out there but I am having the same problem that the phone cannot scan all my media (no pics in gallery other then instant upload, music player got no song). But of coz I can see my files on my comp thru USB. I searched online and ppl suggested to clear cache on media and use rescan media but both not work.
edit: I go back to CM9 (ICS ROM) now and everything works fine...

clear the cache, going into settings/apps/all/gallery then music .../ and clear
then go to your sd card/android/data/ and clear the folders linked to the gallery (3dgallery blablabla) and the music player.
reboot your phone and dont touch for about 3 min to let it scan your sd card

thanks for suggestion but this doesn't help... i clear cache on gallery and music, delete com.android.3dgallery (no music folder in data) and reboot... wait... same thing

if your ROM Manager's version is v5.0.1.3, the issue cause by it. it has a bug that places .nomedia file in the wrong directory if directories are missing.
upgrade ROM Manager
del sdcard's .nomedia file that you don't need (especially root path's one)
reboot and the media service will scan you sdcard
after a few minute, you can see your media files again

Thank you so much. I completely wiped my phone and started from scratch and wasn't able to fix the problem. Now I read this and bingo, that was the problem. If I only I would have waited a day to wipe everything (I didn't back up because I figured that the error would have happened when I restored it too). But anyway thanks again!

Yeah I know that now, I just didn't know soon enough. lol Thanks though

I too have same problem. I updated ROM manager. Also deleted .nomedia file from root and few other directories.
But my music player is still unable to detect audio files. I even formatted sd card.. no luck.
I can only play individual audio files thru file explorer (astro)
Please suggest!

I resolved deleting .nomedia file in android/data folder

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.

[Q] music, and gallery says empty

In my music and gallery app, they both say no media found. I have already searched the rescan apps on the playstore, and tried them all but none of them fix the problem. So what do i do here?

Hi,
Greetings
Open your sdcard from pc/phone explorer and search if their is a file called ".nomedia" in music and galary folder if yes then delet that file and restart your phone. music and galary will be back
If not try to backup your sdcard and format it from phone and try again

Well i did a search through the whole sdcard and it found nothing with name of ".nomedia".

Hi
Greetings,
If you searched from phone explorer you will have enable hidden files to search for".nomedia"
2 I think you will have to format the sdcard
By the on which rom are you

Hey, I had the same problem a week ago. What I did was download an app from the appstore called SDRescan. It's the perfect app for this kind of problem to be honest.

I've already mentioned on the first post that i have already tried that. Everyone says it fixes the problem but they lied because it didn't fix mine.

Try to reboot your device
Try to reboot your device and see what happens. I encounter the same problem and decided to reboot. Doing that solves my problem. :angel:

No matter what i do nothing fixes this ****ty problem. So i just formatted everything including sdcard and reinstalled rom.

I have a similar problem, the photos that I upload to outlook, facebook.... now appears duplicated in gallery, when physically not.
I've tried clean /cache, dalvik cache, re-mount sdcard, reboot phone.. but these methods has no effect
I'll try to make a backup of dcim photos in another folder, reboot, then put again the photos.
PD: also I tried to delete the famous .nomedia file, but I don't founded it!

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

What format you using?

Most are .mp3 files... 128 Kbps . Some may be different but as none are being detected I don't think it's the file type problem ...

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...

Had the same problem a week ago,
I went to application manager in settings,
And cleared the data and cache of media storage, then rebooted.
That seemed to fix the issue

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.

Walkman shows every song twice in the music library!

I've no idea what's causing this.

What could it be?

1. Use a file explorer to verify if there aren't copies.
2. Make sure that you're using one source (that your phone isn't connected to your music library on your pc)
3. Clear data&cache from WALKMAN (you'll lose playlists and settings)

I cleared the cache, nothing happened.
Actually I noticed that Walkman isn't the only app that's been affected... Album, PlayerPro, Play Music... All of 'em.
Every photograph in Album in displayed twice. I checked my SD Card, there are no copies.
This is Weird!!!
Aw, and... This isn't happening to video files. Photos and songs are the only ones affected.
And sorry if all of this sounds vague...

This happened to me before. It was on a custom 4.2.2 rom, I forgot which. It had a script which mounted the internal SD card twice, one as /sdcard0 and another as /sdcard1. I think it was a swap script. Someone from that thread provided a patch. Are you using a custom rom?

sdcard0 is usually internal storage and sdcard1 is usually the external sd card. what do you mean by this?

I'm sure u changed ur internal with external memory. U can wait til it will fix itself or u can flash stock room again delete album Walkman etc and then exchange storage after that u can install them again
