Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gallery in epinter's CM10 rom. I've done some searching and it seems like other people's is working but everytime i open it up it shows no pictures. I've cleared its settings and cache but it still shows nothing. The only reason this bothers me is because it appears that Google+ won't instant upload pictures unless they show up in there. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the 8-11 release but it gave me the same issues in the release before that. Also, I'm using internal storage with no sd card if that matters.

Just download quickpic.
I've been using quickpic for several months now, but Google+ uses the gallery app (from what i can tell) to share pictures and detect new pictures for instant upload.

I'm having same issue. Also no music. Tried moving files to external and back, format both cards. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
MB860 Peace
I have this occasionally, but don't use G+ so it doesn't really bother me as quickpic always works. But to help with the question, I thought I read that when the Media Service is running, things like the Gallery, Maps, and a few other google apps (that use the service) might act like they're hanging, but it's because one of them is using the service. You could try force closing it, or let it finish on its own. Also, try clearing the cache on the media service/gallery/camera/maps. On occasion when the camera stops working on me if I kill the service it sometimes then starts working. This might not be the best option, but something to try.
im having the same problem... apollo dont recognize any music someone can help?
Well my camera has always been laggy on all 4.0+ roms even though some people say it works for them. Anyways, I tried clearing the data and reseting maps/gallery/camera but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the media service is actually just borked and I've been misinterpreting what other people have said.

Look for and delete a file named .nomedia from the base of which ever card you have these images or music on. I heard that this was something a ROM Manager update did.

I had the same issues with my pics and music. Looks like you've chosen reboot option from power off menu. For some reason after reboot pics and audio can't be recognized. Try to power off your atrix and trurn it on after few sec, this worked for me, hope will help you too.
Didn't work. Thanks anyway
MB860 Peace
Well I kinda figured out what's going on with the Gallery. It appears that a media scan won't show media already existing on the device. However, if you take a picture it will show the new pic in the gallery correctly. I've also verified that I have no .nomedia files.
I'm guessing that when a photo is taken it explicitly adds an entry to the media table, but there is a problem when a full scan is triggered which makes the gallery blank.

I tried the ICS rom in development and during it I noticed my pics/videos were not showing up in the gallery. I figured this was a rom specific problem. However upon restore a backup, the same problem is present. I tried rebooting, and triggering media scanner but still nothing.
Any ideas?

Reboot into CWM. Mount data, mount Sd card. Reboot. See if that helps.

Unfortunately it didn't work, thank you though. I'm not sure what the cause could be. I can open the media files, pictures and videos but can't see the preview before opening them. So it's annoying not knowing what is what until I open it.

Considering that we don't yet have an actual ICS ROM for this phone, you should expect some glitches.

That didn't work but thank you. I now got it working by just deleting gallery after making a titanium backup. Rebooted restored and it is now working. Thank you, that suggestion lead to the correct one.

Dude, you are Mount Asshole. I said nothing in my original reply or the one after that could be considered a personal attack to warrant what you have said to me. I simply said that when you are working with unofficial ROMs such as ICS that you should expect to run into some issues. Nothing more, nothing less. You decided to respond with all kinds of nastiness (and an obvious sense of entitlement) for no apparent reason. Perhaps you need a thicker skin if you plan on using the internet in the future. Jerk.
In before the lock. let the conversation continue.

I was going to say check for an extra .nomedia file, but guess its a moot point now.

Well first off have you tried the app Rescan Media?
I had this same problem ran this and it fixed the issue..
If this does not fix your issue then you have an errant picture in your media directory. To fix this..
Remove all pictures from your gallery and back them up to your computer
Copy a few back to your phone and have it rescan see if it shows you them in the gallery.. If so then you know it is a picture issue.. Start adding them back in groups and find the errant photo.
Let me know if this helps..

I did try the app and it didn't work. I solved the problem by deleting the gallery app and reinstalling in titanium. Thank you for your help though
I have a weird issue. On first run all is fine. On a reboot, my gallery app and music app are showing doubles of all the files. BUT Google music does not. I took my SD card out and it shows singles but they are all blank. They are in a cache somewhere but i cant find where. I would like to delete them.
Anyone?

I think I know what your problem is as I just encountered the problem myself. Go to the root directory of where you store all your media and look for something that says .nomedia Move or delete it out of the directory. All my media showed up again after moving it.

It's not a solution per-se, but use quickpic.
The gallery app is rather terrible in pre HC roms.
That's a very common issue with gallery on all pre HC roms
Did you try to format SD card?
maybe SD card fault.
or you can use Quickpic to view the gallery. into setting to choose image's local :good:
I also had the same problem, after checking the forums i found two options, one is to delete the .nomedia file in the SDcard and also deleting the .tumbnails folder from the DCIM folder. Then the .tumbnail folder is recreated and the pics show up in the gallery.
Thanks guys after deleting the nomedia files everything is fine now.but why its created? I mean nyway to stop the creatipn of this files?

They shouldnt be automatically created normally, could be a bug in one of your apps that did it.
It's usually a good idea to have .nomedia's in folders that shouldnt be scanned as it speeds up scans (by skipping the folder), but obviously you dont want it in folders that have stuff you want to be listed.
Kakagi what a coincidence i also faced the same problem 2day only......thanks to every1 for helping us out.....i wil try deleting dat file....

Rom Manager application adds this file .nomedia after awhile. I found this info in net. It is bug of this app.

Ever since going to CM10.2 several months ago, whenever I try to specify music folders on my SD card (internal and external) in Poweramp I just get a never ending scan and the folders never show up (see screenshot). This also happens on any other AOSP 4.3/CM10.2 based ROMs. Anyone else out there using Poweramp have similar issues and did you find a fix? I tried the fixes suggested on the app developers site like reformatting the card or upgrading to a newer build but no dice. The autoscan will eventually find the folders so I can play music on my phone but it also incorporates ALL the folders and files on my phone that have any kind of media files which I don't want.
Edit: can't seem to upload the screenshot. Just a spinning circle in the dialog box. Sure your imagination will be sufficient.

Titanium your Power Amp settings and then wipe the app's data and cache. See if that helps

Finally found a resolution. Had to reformat using Windows instead of formatting with the phone. I formatted using FAT32 since exFat didn't seem to work.

Hi guys,
I'm having problem getting music that I downloaded from play store to show up on walkman.
I tried a suggestion from a post I found on google, opt to download music to external sd card. I can actually find the file I downloaded from play store on sd card under android/com.google.android.music/files/music, but it just won't show up on walkman's library.
Does anyone have an idea about what might be wrong? Thanks!

Well it's hidden so you shouldn't be able to delete it. You could potentially delete it by using a file manager but it could cause issues with play music. Also play music doesn't download the files with conventional file names. The metadata is not stored with the song so in any other music app such as Walkman all the music will look completely wrong such as wrong title album, art etc.

You can try Play Music Exporter if you have root.
If you have root then use GMusicFS

Just download the song to your pc and then drag it into the music folder on the Z2. Walkman will then see it.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately my phone is not rooted and I'm not really willing to do that.
And, yes, I know I can just download it from a computer and put it on my phone, but I don't understand why would Google want to make things complicated like that. It's just really annoying! Just switched from an iPhone to Xperia not long ago. I must say I really miss 'everything just works' on my iPhone.
Yes the limited features of an iPhone do just work. The same features just work on Android. What you're requiring is user preference. Just use play music its a great app especially when used with all access

Actually, I'm not just referring to this. There have been a lot of problems with the phone since I got it. Luckily, there is no gap or anything physical like some other people are experiencing with their phones.
The screen is way too sensitive, hovering my fingers on the screen can even be registered as a touch. it was annoying at the beginning but now I'm getting used to it.
I got the Australian version of Xperia Z2. While a lot of countries have already got updated to 17.1.1, mine is still sitting at 17.1. I had to backup the phone and then flash the German firmware myself. I could not understand why don't Sony just simply release the update worldwide at once and everyone will be happy!
I backed up the phone via Sony companion. However, when I tried to restore all my contents...Guess what? First try, it stuck in the middle and progress indicator did not move for hours. Second time, I had to untick the 'others' to let it at least finish the restore, which means all my app data could not be restored. Even after that, it still couldn't get the job done properly. After the restore was finished, the app was telling me my contacts and settings cannot be restored. Third time, messages restore was successful, but settings and messages cannot be restored...the funny thing is, messages were successfully restored during the second time, but failed in the third time...I just...grrrrrrrr! Finally I gave up and decided to set up every thing on my phone manually after wasting my whole day on this. (If you know any backup app that works well, please let me know. the Sony one is absolutely pathetic!)
Also, I cannot seem to get the MP4 files to play properly on my phone, they have no sound for whatever reason.
While I enjoy the active noise cancelling without dragging an extra brick around, I don't really think I will get another Sony or any android phone when I upgrade next time.
To be fair, it was just you being inpatient that started that ball rolling. The ota won't be long, and then all the backup restore problems wouldn't be needed. I never backup anything, I just set it up again when needed, mostly it is in the cloud anyways. Not sure about the mp4s, everything thrown at it so far has been fine

Yes I was inpatient, because I thought the new update would fix the screen issue and it did. The Australian version wasn't even getting the .69 update, so I assumed this one would take a long time to get released as well.
Even without this whole update thing, I would still want a functional backup/restore system in place. The reason why I would want to backup my phone is that I like carrying all the app data to my new phone or keeping data when I have to restore the phone for whatever reason. Google's app data sync doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't seem to restore anything but reinstalling app I installed before. All my progress in games, messages in whatsapp and viber are all gone.
My friend had the same problem with his account not syncing with Google also, he lost his contacts every time he flashed. I've never had that problem with android ever. It might be worth looking into why it's not working, it's android/google not Sony tho. I always used titanium backup, but I'm not looking to root this phone, just because it already works exactly as I want straight out the box, from battery life to battery%. Have a look on google play, there will be other backup solutions that may work better for you.
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Yea I tried some of them and none of those seem to work like the iTunes. Oh well.. I will just live with it for now.
Btw, under google account it says app data is being synced...hopefully it's actually working now.
