Hi all,
My O1 has a problem wherein some apps recognise the files present on the SD card and some don't. I'm going to eloborate the scenario below.
Well, firstly the current ROM i'm running is the latest MIUI by Zack, which i had installed yesterday night. But prior to that i was running the stable CM7.2 with the candied kernel by DjnoXD.
While i was running the CM7, i noticed that only PowerAmp was able to detect my music present in the microSD card. Apps such as GentleAlarm, JetAudio, Fusion Music player and the default music player wasn't able to detect any music on my phone. So i assumed that the microSD card has ran it's course, since it was more than 2+ years old.
So yesterday, i bought a SanDisk Ultra 16GB class 10 card, and I installed MIUI on it, and to my disappointment, MIUI player didn't detect any music player, same result with JetAudio, Fusion and GentleAlarm. Yet somehow PowerAmp magically is able to detect the music!
Now I'm sure this problem is not because of a faulty microSD card, Kernel or the ROM.
I hope i have provided enough information, If more is needed please inform me about it.
What could be the problem? I searched a lot before making this thread.
Regards,
CD
Edit: I'm facing a lot of signal loss recently... Could this be due to a damaged hardware? I did drop the phone a couple of times
Installed ROM Manager?

I never liked Clockwork recovery or the ROM Manager, I use amonra recovery and MIUI doesn't have ROM Manager... Also i did check for the .nomedia file using root explorer, i didn't find it in the .nomedia file in the ringtones/alarm/music folders...
I feel my phone has a hardware damage as the signal keeps getting lost way too often after i dropped the phone... It wasn't a very steep fall, probably it fell on a delicate spot which i presume is located where the sd card and antenna is located(i.e., at the top of the phone)
Can this be fixed by servicing? My phone's out of warranty anyways... or do i buy another phone?
Does your sdcard work fine otherwise? Can you view pictures/documents or move apps to sd? If so, it looks like for some reason the phone is not scanning for music files and building it's music database. Why don't you try flashing another gingerbread or an ics rom to test?
Nothing is wrong with your phone. There can be many reasons for this problem.
Copy entire microsd card to your PC. Now delete all the useless folders created by so many music
players you used.. in the copied folder. Search for .nomedia in complete copied
folder.
Format your microsd card.. (fat32). Copy everything back. Done!!!
Dont do this if you dont have knowledge about which folders to keep and delete.
I recomend you to use only one music player at a time!!
> search for .nomedia files on folder and delete those.

I had deleted all the .nomedia files present... yet i had the problem. So I formatted my sd card again, created a 512 MB ext2 partition, a 64MB swap partition and the rest as FAT32 via the recovery.
I flashed the latest CM7 nightly and the default music player is able to recognise the files...
However randomly, the music apps keep scanning for media files and show 0 results... it's as if the sd card slot is loosly attached to the phone.
The signal keeps dropping often, and i'm sure it's not the network problem as i have an older nokia phone which has full signal... i mean at times, if ppl call my o1, i'm unreachable yet if the nokia is called at the same time, people are able to connect...
I suspect it's some hardware fault... Can it be fixed?

Cant be sure about your network problem. May be baseband not properly flashed.
Second.. go to network preferences and select Only Gsm or Only Wcdma. Not auto.
If you are using a2sd or link2sd.. Dont move the default music player to sd card.

I Will try the gsm/wcdma only option.
Im sure I flashed the new baseband correctly as Ive been using it for more than 8-9 months...
I'll test this for a while...
Could be a long shot, but maybe try to GENTLY clean the contacts on the SD card slot.
Sorry to hear you are still having these issues.
If I had the money for it... I would upgrade to a more powerful phone hehe. Not that it helps your current issue...

Well, I've gently pressed the sd card slot hoping it would fix the problem ... I'll test this phone for a couple of weeks, and if the problem persits, I'll give it for servicing to a known person rather than a LG service centre...
I can manage with random unmounting issue , but random/often signal losses defeats the purpose of having a phone...

First time happened was back in about a month ago. One day I noticed some of my pictures were gone ( may be 15 to 20 of them ) I could not find them in any where such as SD card internal/external the strange thing was some pictures still there until today so the defective SD card is ruled out and I was still using the stock firmware 2.3.3 then I also noticed there are other pictures ( almost 100 of them ) not actual pictures they just blank but all with different file names like: My piano, A day in Hollywood etc, etc.
No body has been messing up my phones because it stays with me at all times. The question is who deleted my pictures and put a bunch of files back? Could it be happened remotely like some one using Bluetooth to mess around if the person is happened to be near by? later on I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 through KIES and hope it will help me to solve the mystery but it did not. By now I know those pictures are long gone...
Two or three days later I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 until I found the official FW XWKL1 here in XDA, again, upgraded.
So some days later I decided to change song for my ringtone I found out all of them have been replaced by some files with number names. 41203,41204 the list go on...When I use Astro to look for my songs and they are all there ( inside the music folder ) I went back & click one of the number file to see what kind of song and the player pops up a message saying the file format is not supported. It took me almost 30 min to figure out and delete all the number files under MUSIC then I see all my songs back.
My question is has my phone been hacked or infected by viruses/spyware? Or software glitch? I don't have data plan. To go online I use my home wifi all the time.
If some one can help I'll be really appreciated.
Sounds like a problem with the sd card or phone itself.

But most of the pictures and songs are still there that was why I think the problem is not in SD card other than these problems the phone is functioning good in all aspect.
Highly doubt someones in ur phone.

Sounds like the card is corrupted. Just make a backup of everything on the card, and do a full format (not quick format) of it from your computer. That should fix it. I had a similar problem too recently. New files I transferred would get deleted and old deleted files would reappear. Maybe the file table is messed or something, I don't know, but a full format fixed it for me.
Note: Preferably use a card reader, or if you mount it as mass storage from your phone, do it from recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise just mount it as you would normally and proceed.

Hey guys, I've been having a maddening problem with music stored on my external SD card and hopefully someone can help figure this out:
I'm running AOKP, and have all of my music stored on a 16GB external SD card. The problem I've been having is that whenever I open up the phone (generally to switch SIM cards as I'm living overseas and use several different cell companies) the media storage gets all messed up.
I used to be using Google Play Music, and whenever I'd do a SIM swap I could no longer play music. I'd get an error saying "could not play the requested track" on all of my music files.
Figuring GPM just sucks, I switched to WinAmp. Well, the same thing kinda happens. Now, when I do a SIM swap, all of my music tracks get listed twice. One version of the track won't play, the other one will.
Basically what it seems like is that every time I change the SIM card, the media scanner is re-running. Except that it doesn't realize that the files haven't changed, so it re-indexes everything. But this causes music apps to go haywire.
I used to do a data wipe on the Media Storage app, which would clear everything out on Google Play Music (haven't done it yet when using WinAmp). But eventually the problem would crop up again.
To be clear, I recently did a full wipe and installed a fresh version of AOKP. Unfortunately after swapping SIM cards just once the problem reappeared, and TBH I shouldn't have to do a clear data on Media Storage every time I swap the darn SIM card.
I used the phone overseas about 6 months ago when I was still running stock 2.3.6 from AT&T, and never had issues with media storage. Is this an issue using non-Samsung ROMs, or is it an ICS issue in general, or is something else at work here? It's a bit maddening that something as simple as using my phone to play music has become such an ordeal, and I'd like to find a permanent solution to this without having to constantly do data wipes.
Thanks
Anyone? I realize probably the majority of people here are using their i777 on ATT and probably don't open the phone much, but this is a pretty maddening problem to not be able to store my music on the external SD card without the phone going crazy after every time I open it up. I may try going back to a Samsung ROM and see if it's just an AOSP thing, but I'd really prefer to stay on AOKP if possible...

I have this too. Would like to know a solution!

This probably isn't the solution you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure PowerAmp uses its own media scanner, so that should mitigate the problem. See if that helps. As for listing twice, that's usually because there's a symlink somewhere; for me it's usually /emmc and /mnt/emmc, so it's listing twice.
Thanks for the tip, if I decide to stick with AOKP I'll probably give PowerAmp a try I'm actually wondering if the Samsung music player works the same way and has its own media scanner; that would likely explain why I don't remember ever having a music issue when I was running Samsung-based ROMs.
Regarding the symlinks, how would I know if that's the real issue? I do have both /emmc and /mnt/emmc, and I also have /sdcard/external_sd. How could the problem be fixed if that's what's going on?

Just a few points, I'm on AOKP and always stored music on the external uSD card and I never have any problem with any sort of players such Apollo, MortPlayer, VLC, GMP, ..... Am I a lucky one? Could be.
Honestly, I've seen this kind of reports already, in this room, maybe in the AOKP thread, can't remember on which page but you search from there. I'm sure there should be the answer.
I don't know about other TW-based ROMs behavior. If you don't get any feedback from users, you can always install one and try it out and see what happens.
Okay, so after a bit of searching I'm (maybe) convinced that it's a symlink issue. My hope is that the problem was that I still had /sdcard/external_sd from running Samsung-based ROMs, and that the media scanner was getting confused between that and /emmc.
Still have one question, however - there are two versions each of the sdcard and emmc folders:
/emmc
/mnt/emmc
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
Should each folder exist twice? If not, which ones shouldn't be there, and are they safe to delete? I've tried figuring out what the default mount points are for AOKP, but some people say /emmc and some say /mnt/emmc.
I've deleted /sdcard/external_sd so I'm going to try putting my card back in and seeing if there are still problems. But in the meantime, knowing if both versions of the emmc and sdcard folders should be there would be great

Yes, that's what a symlink is; both paths are the same thing.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I understand that both folders link to the same place; the question is, are both of the folders necessary? In other words, if /mnt/emmc is deleted, will the external SD card still be able to be read from /emmc (or vice versa)? Or will it make things go haywire?
My hope is that the duplicate music files I was seeing in WinAmp were because /emmc and /sdcard/external_sd were both on the phone. But if that isn't the case, and even after deleting external_sd I'm still getting duplicates and music playing isn't working properly, then I'd think the only remaining issue is because the phone has both /emmc and /mnt/emmc and the media scanner is seeing them as separate entities.
So yeah, mostly I just want to know if AOKP needs both /emmc and /mnt/emmc to function properly, or if only one of those folders is needed.
I'd be inclined to think they are both required.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue after moving my music over from internal storage to a external card. On rocket player the files would be listed twice just like what op stated and using Google play they would not be able to play in the player even if they are playable from directly opening them in astro. While my phone is the skyrocket i727, the issue is exactly the same on aokp milestone 6. I tried reformatting the card then putting back on the music yet to no avail. I'm hoping someone would know what the problem is.

Finally able to fix this problem. Googled a bit more to find solution. Harder to find than expected but anyways this is how I did it.
Went into
setting --> apps ---> all ---> media storage
And cleared data
After I cleared data of both the music player apps I used, play music and rocket player. Somehow on milestone 6, media scanner is very stubborn and refuses to run many times even with the download of media scanner apps and restarts of the phone. Somehow I managed to get media scanner to run and finally I see my files in play music. I click on a file to ru and it starts playing. Very relieved to say the least.
Media scanner apps used were both SD rescan and rescan media. Don't know which one did the trick.
Hope this helps.
Hello all, I had recently upgraded to a SanDisk Class 4 32GB microSD card and within a few days after I had merged all of my phone's data and my old sd's data, my pictures come up as broken files, and my music shows about 5-8 duplicates of each song but only a select few will play and the others will act like they're playing but no audio plays and the seconds of the song stays at zero. I even restart my phone with the sd out and the media scanner doesn't show that it's running, and I'm pretty sure it's not because when I go back to the music player I still see all of the songs that are on my sd and the pictures still show that they're broken...idk how the files still show in there without the sd card being in there, but I'm afraid I might have done something wrong when I had cut and pasted all of the files from the phone itself onto the sd. I have no real knowledge of android programming or rooting or anything like that so I figure it would help to mention my phone is stock but officially upgraded to 4.0.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and could possibly help more users out there!
I think you have to go to settings-apps-all tab-media storage- clear data. I think I remember right. Maybe try it without your card in. Replace SD card and turn on phone and I think it will scan correctly.
Or something like that. Hope it helps
Yeah I've tried all of the available functions from the phone and also mounting & unmounting it. I'm assuming from being a windows user that I might have transferred over some sort of "playlist" that remembers all of the file extensions for each file, and since they're not located in their original place it cant find the file...idk but it really takes a toll on my drive to work!
Hi all...I have been flashing for about a year now and I need help finding a JB Rom that works correctly. I have tried a few different ones, and most won't show my pictures or music even after I followed the guides to fix these issues. So I flashed Miui JB latest Rom and its real nice, but no BLN?? So, which JB Rom is stable for you with working GPS, mms, and shows no issue with music or picture files...AND has working BLN? If I could just find a kernel that would work with the MIUI JB rom to enable BLN I would be golden...alas, I can't find one and Devil won't work. Thanks guys!
I've been on AOKP 9-20 with Devil 1.5.2 with almost no issues. The only problem I was having was a few force-closes while using the camera, although after a few reboots it seems to have gone away. I plan to flash the new AOKP build 3 later on, which people are having great results with. I was on CM10 for a long time before this and everything was working perfectly, but I came back to AOKP mainly because Devil didn't work that great with CM10 and I missed blinking notifications and better performance options.
tl;dr AOKP or CM10 are both great

Hey thanks for responding! You haven't had issues with losing pictures or music files?? They are on the sdcard but no music player can see them...same as pictures, although QuickPic seems able to pull them up...I flashed the latest CM10 nightly, no music no pics...went back to stock and worked up to AOKP nightly, same issue! Got mad and flashed Miui JB and poof everything showed! Weird! I followed some of the guides I found through search for how to fix the issue but nothing worked...no problems with this for you though??
EDIT: I clean flashed AOKP build 3 and NO music or pictures!!! Going to flash the Devil and see if that makes any difference.
Yeah I've have no issues with pictures or music on any rom I've tried, however I'm no longer using the sd card that came with the phone. I had an issue mounting the sd card when I originally started flashing my phone (I had zero issues with the card before that time) and decided right away to buy a better sd card before flashing anything else. I ended up getting a 32GB class 10 which has been flawless. So basically the only thing I could think might be going on might be related to the sd card failing, especially if you're still using the junky one they give you with the phone initially.

I have the same sdcard I don't know, it's all over Google and XDA about this bug...I just feel like the only person on a fascinate that has it! Thanks for giving me some input tho!
If I were in your spot I'd probably try a different sd card if you have one available to try, or backup all contents of your sd card to your PC, format the sd card, and then transfer everything back.

LOL I tried that too. I honestly did everything I could think of or every tweak I found...that's why I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a JB rom that did not have this issue. It's cool though, I started using Google Music...transferred my music onto my pc and uploaded to Google music site. Then every time I update AOKP, I just will get the app and it will download the music to my cell. Not a perfect solution but it's tolerable! As far as pix, as long as I use Quick Pic they show up just fine. Of course I have to use a third party camera app since the AOKP camera won't work since gallery isn't. Thanks for any help!
I remember there being an issue with rom manager creating a .nomedia 'hidden' file:::: here is from a post of what I did to fix that issue::
Yep I was having this issue too,,, yesterday I had tried clearing the gallery cache and data,,, today I 1st tried clearing the media storage cache and data,,, hoping maybe just possibly that would help ... but it didn't... Also Tried both of my SD Rescan widgets, but neither worked ... so I uninstalled the ROM manager update which took me from 5.0.1.5 and asked me if I wanted:: " to replace this app with the factory version " which I clicked ""OK"" and that put it back to version 5.0.1.1 ,,,
then I cleared :: media storage,,, gallery,,, and Apollo :: cache and data ,,, and rebooted .... wallaha!!! gallery shows properly!!... THANKS everyone ,,,
,,,may have been slightly overkill but I what the heck,, just in case gallery and Apollo had anything hanging around ...
Now you were saying that when you flashed MUIU everything worked? I wonder if you could pull the Camera.apk from that rom and install it on AOKP to see if it'll work

Same issue here, happened a couple of cm10 nightlies ago. Never had a problem before, there were no reports of it happening to others but only a few of my pictures loaded, no music was recognized, neither were my custom ringtones, or videos. ODINed back to stock and it carried back to that... no idea how to fix it... although I think it is an sd card issue, the phone just isn't recognizing there being media on the card or only partially. Namely because if I pull the ringtone from sd and place in the ringtone folder in /system they appear. Tried just about everything, specially after hearing about the Rom Manager issue with .nomedia's being placed were it shouldn't have.
Other things I've noticed is that, an app like Root Explorer can access my sd and recognize the files inside to which I can select and use, but even after opening the picture/song/video they still don't show up in their respective apps. Also note, I have reformatted my sd card and ODINed back to stock to start over with no luck in either. I've since installed Rom Manager with no luck either.

Hmm I wonder? But how would that have any effect on the music part of it? Honestly I can live without the stock camera and gallery, its the fact that all my music is missing is the worst part...
Does MUIU have it's own music player? I never used it, so I don't know. If it does, take the apk from the rom and put it on AOKP to see if your music shows up. I wonder if this is just a glitch that hasn't been addressed simply because not that many people have encountered it. Perhaps this is a big enough issue to be posted in the general Q&A forums? Maybe that way you'll get more views and possibly better answers from people on other devices that may have got this bug.
I believe JB puts something on the sd card so ics and below won't show all of the media. I went back to JB and everything shows up fine.

Also note, I have reformatted my sd card and ODINed back to stock to start over with no luck in either. I've since installed Rom Manager with no luck either.

Yup, that's exactly how mine is...I can see the files on root explorer or if I usb to pc but no matter what app I use to play music it says no music found on sdcard. I've used rescan app, moved onto pc and then formatted sd, blah blah. Nothing works. Oh well, it isn't enough to make me leave AOKP...I just work around it and wait for a fix I tried cm10 nightly, cm10 8/19, and a few others...same issue. Also if I use an mp3 downloader it will complete the download but when I try to play the song, it's NOT found! Crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
using steves sept 27 build of aokp with devil 1.6 is my favorite and daily driver right now. only issue thats a serious problem is if you turn it on while its off and plugged in charging, it has a SOD or completely dies when i lock the screen. simple fix, turn on, as soon as you see samsung logo plug it in. this also fixes having no soft keys if you get that every now and then. no issues with with the gallery, camera, music or anything. i always odin back to GB stock and then go forward with THS build 2 of ics, then JB, then google apps and boot, restart to recovery then flash the kernel. im seriously impressed with this build

can you actually access and open the files if you mount the sd card in your computer? dont quote me but im betting on the sd card being near the end of its life
You think? Its just weird since if i flash anything else recent JB it all shows up fine...it started when i went from cm10 8/19 build (from rootzwiki) to the cm10 nightlies on the cyanogen site...and persists if i go back to stock and flash up to aokp JB or JB whatever. Then as soon as i flash the newest jb miui --whomp there it is! Strangest issue ever.

It could be a coincidence but it wouldn't hurt to try swapping SD cards if you have another laying around. They're also dirt cheap on amazon now too
Did you try this? Found it doing some google searching

This trick didn't work for me. So, I did what the system should have done with the .nomedia file present. I moved all of my photos to a hidden folder (with a . before the name) and removed the DCIM folder. Then, I looked for all instances of the .nomedia file (Root Explorer helped) and deleted them. Rebooted the phone. Started Gallery. Waited for 10 minutes. Voila! Gallery showed every little image file that was on /sdcard. To remove the files that I didn't want to see, I copied the .nomedia file from a random system folder and pasted it into all the folders that I didn't want indexed. Strangely though, moving even one of the original /sdcard/DCIM/Camera files from the hidden folder into the current Camera folder took Gallery down. Stranger that this also made the Internal Storage show a blank window when I connected the phone to my laptop. Almost positive that this has to do with JellyBean creating a /storage/sdcard0 folder that's linked to the older /sdcard folder. Looking it up and will post updates if I find any.
Update: The same trick works for Paranoid Android's JellyBean ROMs (even the latest 2.13) for the Galaxy Nexus. Something to do with the DCIM folder and how it is handled by Media Storage. A Linux-geek friend of mine confirms this has to do with the /sdcard0 symlinking. Although, why we need something like that is beyond my limited knowledge of the OS.

Yes a root explorer and look for all those hidden .nomedia files and delete those ,,, and copy over an alternate .nomedia that was not associated with the sd card,,, that was one of them tricks :thumbup:

Hi there
I rooted my phone and also installed TWRP on my HTC and I have noticed that my phone seems to be corrupting the photos that I take, but it doesn't corrupt them immediately. It can take a few hours but they end up getting corrupted. I store my photos on my SD card and I have never had a problem with it before, the card is still relatively new.
I'm still running the stock ROM
The photos were automatically backed up so I have the original versions and I have attached them to the post with the corresponding corrupted versions that appear on my phone
What's happening? Have I made a bollocks of the phone?

That's strange. I'm probably not the one to solve the mystery but when you say sd card, you mean your external micro sd? Have you tried swapping out the sd card?
I was surprised to see an android phone couldn't rw ext 4; had to reformat fat32. But I don't get how they seem to gradually corrupt??? Are you using something like link2sd or was there a recent app you installed that preceeded this behavior?

Yeah I'm using an external SD card
I'll try swapping out the card and see if it makes a difference.
It's really weird that they're fine just after I take them and then like 2 hours later it seems that only the thumbnail is left or there's nothing at all.
When you say reformat to fat32, does that mean wipe everything off it?
I'm not using any strange apps, just the default camera app on the stock ROM
I noticed that my viber pictures were not displaying this weird behaviour so I looked and they're stored on the phone, so I changed my camera to store the pictures on my phone memory and took a few test photos. So far they have not been corrupted and seem fine. Although I think that the quality of the pictures has dropped
Seems like it might be the SD card after all

Yes. If you format it to anything even the current format, it will be wiped. Sd cards get corrupted a lot. That's your most likely culprit. Not sure if it'll fix your issues but probably the easiest thing to start with. Hope it works for you!
Thanks for your help dude, I really appreciate it

Just an update to anyone who might come across the same issue
Formatting the external SD card seemed to fix my problem
