Rescan SD Media - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I added and renamed media files via my computer over USB and Android will not recognize them.
How do you rescan the SD for media in Kitkat?

This app does it for me.

Tried others but they all didn't do anything. This is probably because kitkat handles media scanning differently than older versions of android.

Xda premium and nexus 5 compatability issue?

Seem to be having problems with the xda app whenever i try to start it up. Just get the spinning circle. End up having to come out if app and restart it before it ever loads. I've been flicking on android central app every now and then and it loads instantly with no issues.
Could this have anything to do with me being on the art runtime? Handset is stock unrooted other than art .
Thanks

No problem with XDA premium app.

I have problems with the XDA Premium app as well. Sometimes it won't load, sometimes certain threads won't load. Not sure what's causing it, I had similar problems on my Nexus 4.
I think the xda has been having intermittent issues with the tapatalk plug-in over the last week or so.
good day.
ART is experimental so that's why it's only a developer option right now. It's only natural for it to have issues so if you want a stable rom don't use it because all app devs just got onto developing for it. Tapatalk has been having a lot of issues for the past about 2 weeks. This is probably what you are referring to so just stand by while tapatalk and xda resolve the issue. It's become even more annoying these past few days.
im lucky to be able to connect to xda with tapatalk anymore. disabling art has improved that, thanks

No problems with XDA using ART here.

slow loading for me at times, somethings up
The XDA app is Tapatalk. And it does occasionally have issues. Wiping the data for it seems to help.

I have this problem with the xda app with all my devices. It has nothing to do with ART, as the issues were present on 4.3.
The app just needs to be fixed. Plain and simple.

My issue is that it will jump a couple threads up when it loads more. Really annoying. Randomly crashes as well. I have it on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, both using art. The nexus 7 has none of these problems.

I'm on a replacement device (not using art ) and still same problem.
However as said before android central for me seems almost instant in comparison.

Micro SD help?

So I'm having an issue with my 64 g micro SD in my sprint note 2. I can add things to it just fine, but after an hour or so it corrupts songs to 2 seconds and says "sorry, this audio file not supported". If I out folders in it, it empties them. If an app tries to add its data to it, it almost completely wipes it clean. It's formatted to fat32. I've never had problems with my 32 g SD card. I'm not certain of the brand, it just says "hc" on it. Any suggestions?

Something else weird to "note" here would be that whenever I download music and put it on the SD card, it does the music jack up, but if I copy it over and zip the music and leave the zip on my internal memory, it doesn't mess up.

Most likely your 64gb is bad. Especially if the 32gb worked with out problems.

I thought so. I figure it was just because it might be incompatible.

Sites noto working with data

Hello there!
I'm not able to connect to a site (www.erepublik.com) when i use data. It just happens with my nexus, not with xperia u, not with padfone 2. It doesn't care what browser i use, it still doesn't work. Does anyone experienced the same issue? Is there a way to fix it.

Ohh got you, sorry miss read OP, and I think you may be SOL, some apps block screen cap and casting for copy right issues. I could be wrong, and if so someone please correct me.
