I have a weird issue with my Echo phone.
I used FileExpert to transfer few jpeg images yesterday. The images did not show up in the gallery.
I restarted the phone and I could see the transferred photos under Gallery.
Same for music. I copied over some music (mp3 files). I went to the stock app (Music) and they did not show up. However, When I restarted the phone, the files showed up immediately.
I am wondering whether this is a regular phenomenon? Is there a way to refresh the stock gallery / music to ensure that the files reflect immediately? Or should i transfer files in a different way?
I am using Kyocera Echo, Gingerbread (2.3.4).
Any help is appreciated.
hmm, is odd, but if you go into setting and memory settings, then unmount and re-mount the sd card, and let the phone scan, then they should show up hope this helps
You need to force a media rescan after adding new media files. Both rebooting the phone and un/remounting the sd card will do it. There are also a bunch of apps on the market that will also do it.
Do you have Dev Tools app?

I think it comes with CM7 so I'm not sure if it will work if you don't have CM, but this post seemed to have success. (and a download link - Development.apk = Dev Tools)

Greetings. This is my first post in a couple of years after having problems with my HTC Universal [XDA Exec]. Please be nice to me :]
Before I made this post, I've been searching endlessly...but all I see are solutions for the same problem on a different phone running XDAndroid. So I can't find a solution in regards to the Touch Pro2.
Anyway, I have a problem. When I go to settings and set a ringtone, it doesn't show anything but "Silent." I took the advice I read at a thread from the Diamond and full formatted my SD on FAT32 and put the things back and supposedly it should work.
I tried that and I still have the same problem.
Did I do something wrong? Or are ringtones not working on the TP2 yet?
Thank you for helping in advanced. :]
+1. I've had the same problem for a couple months. It used to work fine, then tried another build and it didn't anymore, and hasn't since. I've reformatted over and over with different card readers, windows and linux, different apps... nothing has worked.
If this would help find the solution quicker.
I'm running the latest FRX06 arrrghhh created with all the latest rootfs and kernels.
I read a thread that I should go to Settings > Dev Tools > Media Scanning but I can't find it there...I'm assuming since that thread was back in September, it was an old version of XDAndroid.

There should be dev tools in app drawer,but you can try to see if in media folder there are files with strange letters or symbols..
Can't find it in the app drawer. I'm going to assume that media scanning is not there because I didn't put my SIM card in it. Well, I can't really put my SIM card because this TP2 is still locked by T-Mo and I have AT&T...just waiting for unlock code so I can use it.
But I've been messing with the phone for a while that I've been putting apps and utilities in.
Again, could it be the fact that I don't have my SIM card in is the reason why Media Scanning is not even visible?

I'm not sure if this is why Media Scanning isn't visible, but might be why ringtones can't be set/chosen.
I have a Tilt2 (RHOD300) with a working SIM and ringtone selection works fine.
I have had the same problem.
These two seps solved the problem for me:
1. full format the sdcard with the hp-tool
2. search for sounds with the mediaplayer

I found Development.apk . Though I don't know if that's the same as Dev Tools.
@Entrophy: If you don't mind, will you boot to XDAndroid without SIM for me?
And from what I recall Media Scanner runs everytime you boot it, and it tells you at the notification bar. Can you also see if it will prompt Media Scanner w/o SIM?

Give me a few minutes then, please. :]
I'll simply edit this post for updates
EDIT:
So I got Dev Tools installed, and ran Media Scanner. One second later, it's done.
I go to my settings and its still showing just "Silent"
...or do I have to reset the phone and it will show up?
I don't mean to bump, but I just finished running Media Scanner, but it's still the same...

Media folder on the root? Yes, I do. But it only has one...and that's for Facebook.
I have the Media folder filled with all the ringtones and alarms inside the andboot folder..should I copy those and put it on the Media folder on the root?

oh,you have android in andboot..
could you try to move everything from root and delete rel_path=andboot from startup.txt
Does it make a difference? :O. I'm trying to just put the ringtones and all from Media folder inside andboot to the Media folder at root.
But if anything fails, I'll move everything to root and mess with startup.txt

i'm running out of ideas,and putting everything to root is the only one that went out of my brain
It's fine. Thanks for helping me up to this point .
Since I moved the stuff in the Media Folder already, I'll try backing it up, format the SD card again and put it back. I think it should work by then.
Thanks!

Use hp usb format tool
Formats really well
Without full formatting your sdcard with the hp-format tool, you will have no luck.
Copy your SDCard to the PC, format and copy it back, scan and enjoy.
Whenever I plug my phone in, set it to USB mass storage, it always sets back to Motorola phone portal with a little roll back icon in the menu bar.
I need the USB mass storage to grab some files off my atrix. How do I fix this?
I was having a similar problem until I uninstalled Motorola Media Link.
close everything related to your phone. I had the same problem once and it turned out I had a cmd window open with adb commands that had been previously run on it. I'd close EVERYTHING related to your phone, restart the phone then start again.
Like someone previously mentioned about Media Link, if you right click the icon in the system tray, there is a menu in the pop-up that gives you the option of selecting what the device does by default when you connect it. By default, the option is set to Phone Portal, but you have the option of setting it to that, Mass Storage or None.
I'm not 100% certain that the second option is Mass Storage, but I know that it can be changed so that your phone won't default to Phone Portal. It should just be a matter of exiting Media Link rather than uninstalling it that or merely changing your settings in it.
I think he means the glitch where no matter what you choose on the phone itself, it will always default back to the phone portal option before it mounts the SD card as a usable USB device in Windows Explorer.
I suppose that's possible, but without being more specific, the problem could be resolved by changing the MediaLink settings. Obviously, if the problem is the one you are referring to, my suggestion would be irrelevant. =p
Anyone get PAW server working in place of Moto Phone Portal? Gawd it sucks!
1. You have to use IE or FF, which is cool because I already use FF, but when I click on File Manager it warns, "File Manager access supported on Internet Explorer only." WTF over they can't make up their minds?
2. I finally get File Manger working through IE of course and then it takes me to some DavWWWRoot web folder???
3. So I copy a couple music files - then go to the phone using Astro - find the files in my /mnt/sdcard/ folder - copy the files (won't let me cut or move) - find my "Music" folder deeper on the SD card - copy the files there - go back to the /mnt/sdcard/ folder and delete the now duplicate files.
Holy smokes is this thing awful or am I just making it awful?
Please someone help me get the much better PAW working!
Morning all
Just got my tab 10.1 yesterday, rooted and installed overcomes ROM this morning. For the life of me I cannot copy over any MKV files as i want to put my files on the damned thing. I've had a quick search through and it seems most people can do it somehow its just no one has given a fool proof way of doing it as far as i can see (i know i will be wrong there)
I have tried to use recovery usb mount but that just doesn't work and every time i use the mtp is just crashes windows explorer.
Please can someone tell me there is a way i can get my files onto my tablet?
any help is greatly received

MTP crashes Explorer.exe? Thats really weird. Sounds like you have bad drivers. Uninstall and reinstall your Samsung drivers and try again.
Another option is to get the USB connector piece that allows you to connect and view the contents of a USB drive with a file manager app straight from the tablet.
One more option is Dropbox. Its a personal file sharing software that lets you see your files from any device with internet. Just drop the files from your computer into your dropbox folder and they will automatically upload online. You can then go to www.dropbox.com and sign in to see these files. Android devices have a Dropbox app, so you don't even have to open the browser, all your files are right there in a folder on your homescreen for you.
If you don't have a dropbox account, Click Here to Sign Up You get 2gigs of free storage space.
rename the extension .mkv to something else like .abc and it should work.

I should have said I renamed. The mkv in question was only 850mb and it crashes. However an mp4 of 1.4gb works fine. All be it it asks me to convert it first.
I'll try and remove the drivers and reinstall and see if that works when I finish work.
So I sync music from my music to my phone through DoubleTwist AirSync and DoubleTwist sends pictures and videos from my phone to my computer. Every time it syncs, DoubleTwist tells me some files didn't sync and it says "failed (unknown error)". It used to be 11 or 13, but I've gotten it down to 4 by scavenging through Root Explorer looking for the files that give errors and I've found and deleted some, but I can't find these last 4. All 4 are errors from importing FROM my device, not to it, so it must be something on my phone.
My question is basically, how can I find these pictures?
Also, on a side note, I found a file logo.mp4 which was giving a DoubleTwist error and my phone couldn't open it, so I just deleted it, but could it have been something important? I don't think it was in a sub-folder. I think it was just in the root of the SD Card.
Anyway, if anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you have the file names of the pics try the search function of the root explorer, searching from the root directory ( / ).

Using any file explorer open memory card and see throughout..
If you want to find deleted file than its difficult to recover sometimes recova a pc software can recover some deleted files
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

It's Recuva, from I think piriform.
They have free version and paid software.

Hello,
since I really like the idea of easy file transfer via wlan using the es file explorer i stumbled across a proplem:
Data (mp3s, images etc) transferred via USB data cable is recognized by any related apps like music player/albums immediately, while
files that I copy to the sd-card via wlan and es file explorer can be found and played using the explorer, but wont be recognized by the media apps.
After searching for a solution for a little while i tried:
-media rescans using apps, both rooted or unrooted versions. tried that several times rebooting the phone a couple of times. Also i let the rescan take its time over night. so no rushing here...
-searching the infamous .nomeda-file in the folder where the music is, which I couldnt find and therefore couldnt erase.
NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVED THE ISSUE
I would really appreciate any suggestions since i do like to take advantage of es file explorers convenience.
Thanks for any thought in advance!
try this app...
it works for me.

I allready tried that with that and a couple of different apps but haven't been able to solve my problem.
Deleting the app-cache in settings->apps->walkman didn't help either...
Sometimes Walkman recognizes the file but wont play it when selected...

u need root for this.
install terminal Android Terminal Google Play Link
now run the following command in terminal
to enable media scan on boot
Code:
su
pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
to disable media scan on boot
Code:
su
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
i found this on Enable Media Scanner on Boot
This is what this app does, I assume
Its the root version of the media scanner activator. Didn't help. In fact it messed up one time and all my mediafiles showed up twice in mediaplayer, except the files that were transferred via wlan. That could be resolved by deleting app-cache.
But thanks for your help anyway!
the problem im having is if you use that application and you disable mediascanner then when you try to open the gallery or music player all your stuff is gone, because the MEDIA STORE application is DISABLED. so how can we fix this. because if i enable MEDIA STORAGE it eats like 50% CPU and never stops.
