So I'm running OB3, and it's flawless so far aside from one thing:
Saved media files aren't showing up in Facebook or Textra.
I'm unable to access downloaded ringtones or notifications in any app, and I have a folder that I use to post images on facebook, and it's just not showing up in the app.
Has anyone else seen or had this happen?

After adding a .nomedia file to the Touchdown attachments folder I tried many things to try to get the Gallery to stop displaying these folders (in various combinations):
Rebooted
Wiped the data of the HtcMediaCacheService
Wiped the data of the Gallery app
Renamed the folder to one thing, opened the Gallery, renamed it back, opened the Gallery again. (As per this suggestion.)
I don't want to use the "Show/hide albums" feature because Every email with a picture attachment creates it's own album. Is there some way to solve this?
EDIT: After yet another reboot, they're finally not showing!
As the title says I upgraded to Lollipop, rooted and restored all my apps through Titanium. Now apps like Photos, Piktures and Gallery KK won't see any of my old photos from /sdcard/DCIM/ or anywhere else in storage actually. Yes, I tried setting Photos app to "On device."
QuickPic can find everything of course and all the images are intact, but that's it. Now, if I take a new picture, that will show up in the above apps. I was hoping that might kickstart the mediascanner to discover the rest, but sadly no.
anyone know how under Lollipop I can reset the picture media db? the sd media scanner apps I've tried all crash under 5.0
Do I have to sync them all to Google+ auto backup maybe? I've never used that.
thanks in advance.
EDIT: deleted my Media Storage data, rebooted and all is happy again.
Everything has been fine with Google Photos for me until recently other folders containing photos from apps like VSCO Cam other apps has disappeared from the "Device Folders" section of the app. As I said, these were all displayed until the last few days. I have no idea what happened. I use Solid Explorer and I can see the photos are all still on my phone so it's not like they've been deleted. Anyone come across this issue or would know how I can fix it? I've tried clearing the data/cache of the Photos app and that didn't work. I also tried clearing the cache of Media Storage but that didn't correct the problem either. I'm not sure what to do.
Anyone else had a similar issue or know how to resolve it?
Solved.
Needed to show hidden files using Solid Explorer, deleted the file called ".nomedia" and alas, all the device folders are now being displayed again in Google Photos!

I have been using two accounts of Whatsapp beta on my N20U (India).
In the last update, there seems to have been a change in the storage location of Whatsapp Media.
For the regular app - its moved from /Whatsapp/Media to /Android/media/com.whatsapp/Whatsapp/Media.
Problem is for the DualApp Whatsapp install. Earlier the media was stored in /DualApp/Whatsapp/Media. But after the Whatsapp Beta update, I cannot seem to find where the DualApp Whatsapp stores the media. Can anyone tell me where to look for the media?
Even when trying to "View Media in Gallery" - it says media cannot be found.
i have same problem also, anyone have idea what going on with the dualapp whastapp folder?
maybe it moved to android/data folder. try with solid explorer or total commander app if your current file explorer can't display that folder

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its here:
Internal storage>Dual App> Android > Media > com.whatsapp > whatsapp. Hope that helps.
while on the issue of File locations can anyone help with this: In Android 8 and 9 (perhaps 10?) this path below:
Internal storage > android > Data contains a host of com. folders (for example com.google.android. youtube or com.android.gallery3d etc etc).
Now those folders used to contain temp files taking up extra storage (gallery3d for example was taking up more than 2gb) which i clear from time to time to free up storage.
Question is this: On Note 20U i cant seem to find those files and I am wondering whether anyone knows where they are or is it a case that android 11 does not create / store those files?
I'm facing a file selector issue across every app. lets say I take a screenshot and then try to send it with facebook messenger. I find that messenger's media selector is showing nothing.
I can access everything with file explorer app. but I can't from literally every other app. not even google photos. Even trying to add a custom ringtone from the settings app causes the whole settings app to crash.
This issue was noted on 3 different roms. including official los18.1.
Is the storage dying?
