I installed Mean Bean 1.1 a couple days ago, updated to 1.2, and I can not access my pictures or music (and probably other items) through any app that isn't a file explorer. I wiped my ext memory using my phone and mounted again, connected to PC and added back some pictures and mp3 files, still nothing. I moved them to the internal storage, nothing again. I take pictures and they show up in the gallery, details showing they are on the external SD card. I have tried wiping it every which way, tried several different SD cards, and still nothing. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated (I know I can just switch ROMs but I can't imagine no one else is having this issue)
Have you tried a rescan media application from the market?

Reinstall the latest meanbean. It's not a rom issue but it should help your phone find your pics.

My SD Card is recognized.
Everything is shown in file explorer/manager/root explorer.
But all the apps are not able to scan/explore the sd card on their own
No pictures in gallery,no music in Music Player.
I have never partitioned it too.
It just appeared when i installed Wolf's TW008 Update 1
Then it is also there in TW009
Any ideas why this is happening ?
try to install Quickpic and you can 'add' folders

try the 2nd method
Well the craziest thing happened to me
I switched to stock 2.1 But still it couldn't scan pictures/songs
The SD CARD was still OK.I can browse files using file mgr etc.. but nothing shows up in gallery/camera roll etc.
So i decided to format my SD card and i was backing up all data to my external HD.
Then Suddenly i got a blue screen on Windows and it restarted.
In the mean time my phone's SD card was back on track and started showing music/pictures etc. in mediascape.
Well i dont know how it happened but finally it is solved
Hi guys
After running the 2.01.605.11 .zip RUU to get back to stock GB my ReZound dont reconize/mount sd card anymore.
any tips?
Thanks in Advance
Have you tried reformatting it?

I think this happens when you mix GB/ICS firmware and ROMs. Try this:

Not sure if related, but if I add photos and images to my sd card or even internal storage on my phone it doesnt show up in the gallery. I did a search on google and it led me to clearing my media storage data in the apps settings but after doing that my gallery was empty. After wuite a while, my gallery items seemed to have come back, but none of the new folders I added are showing up? If I use root explorer I can find the images and folders they are in but I can only open them from there one at a time. It wont let me share pictures or do anything with them. Is this a known issue? I'm on cleanrom de.

gallery is garbage. use quickpic from market. to fix media storage get a media scan app nut don't scan until you clear media storage first
Using an RUU and going from ICS to GB you might just need to do a factory reset from hboot and then reboot the phone and then you should be good. If that doesn't work reformat the SD card. I believe it happens because the SD card sometimes keeps the info from the previous version on there that's why you need to factory reset.

are you try to flash another recovery ?
I had the same sd card problem.
Got that resolved now.
But I have a calling problem. I try to dial and phone reboots.
**edit** - I got the phone part working. Just reflashed the kearnel package and the update to it.

Believe its an issue where mainver doesnt match hboot/fastboot and it wont allow your sdcard to mount. try this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.
If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.
I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?
If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27787690&postcount=3
No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.
Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).
Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
Can anybody help??
Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??
TIA
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.
The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.
I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.
The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.
Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.
It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .
Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .
jje
yes, tried 3 sdcards.
Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.
This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.

If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!

Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.
So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.
The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.

Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).
Have you tried changing kernels?

No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.
Edit:
I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.
I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.
It surely must be a software problem.

Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.
It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
Hello everyone, new to these forums, but have been reading here for a few years now
I have a couple of questions regarding JB 4.1.1 and Galaxy S3 i-9300
First of all, I can't seem to make my external SD card work with anything else but Recovery/Root Explorer.
Gallery doesn't show it, VLC doesn't show it, and I can't find any settings that will allow me to save pictures taken by the cam onto extSD, nor videos.I have tried both AOSP and PA 4.1.1, same issue.
Second, when I flashed AOSP/PA 4.1.1, whenever I go into Gallery, and choose Settings, I just get a blank screen, no options, no nothing.
Am I just stupid, or have I formatted the card wrong?
best regards, Tim :laugh:
Is is FAT32 ?
Are there any partitions (other than the primary) in the SD card? (or, have you repartitioned the sd card) ?
Thanks for the reply. I booted into CWM and formatted the card from there. It still doesn't show up. Will try to reflash JB again.

I am in the same situation. It started when clockworkmod couldn't read some of the files in the download folders (mods i intended to apply) which were visible in es file explorer. After a few tries, sdcard (a trascend 64gb uhs-1 which i indeed recommended a few hours ago in another thread!!!) looks dead both in android AND pc. Had to format to access it. Currently letting diskdigger do his job, then for more invasive action (still yet to figure).

The issue you are facing is what made me flash from AOKP to PA/AOSP in hope of improvement.
While I was running AOKP, I connected my Galaxy to my PC via USB, and in the external SD card, I found multiple copies of the same folder.
For example, I made a folder called PICS inside my SD card when I got it a couple of weeks back and everything was running smoothly. Then just a couple of days ago, I wanted to copy some of my pics, and now I had 5 folders called PICS on my SD, and none of them contained actual pictures, the files had no extensions whatsoever, just blank fileicons.
I'm considering moving back to a stock Sammy ROM, these external SD card issues are getting really frustrating.

i've got the same problem..i read somewhere it was to do with CWM recovery being used? i havent had time to investigate and cant mess with my phone as i'm going away tomorrow....i hope someone points out the solution as this has plagued me since day 1 with jelly bean..
So, formatting the card on pc as NTFS/standard allocation/FULL format (took about one hour and a half) worked for me. Cwm reads it and i made a couple of format to be sure. Weird thing is in settings/memory the ext-sdcard capacity/free space is correct, but there is no visual bar (it is there for internal sd). I'm pretty sure at this point the problem was probably caused by some action i took with mobileodin using files from the sdcard.
I have a lot of photos on PicasaWeb. When they are cached on the phone, the cache automatically goes to the internal SD and takes up several GB of space. Am running Omega v27.1 JB.
Is anyone aware of a way to move the Gallery cache to the external SD card? Have tried App2SD and a few other methods, but so far no luck.
There are partial solutions:
1) Disable Gallery and use JustPictures which supports putting photos/cache on Ext SD.
2) Stop caching photos from Picasaweb.
But the JB Gallery works well and is integrated into the camera, so it would be great if there were a simple way to redirect the cache to be on the Ext SD.
Thank you.

I have the same "problem" since i bought my shiny new sd-card but i didn't find any solution yet.
i tried directory bind, put it seems that i have to mount every directory seperately so it's quite a PITA.
If your running omega go to the kitchen and try the external2internalsd mod.
Worked really well for me. Phone now shows 64gb internal and 16gb external. All apps, games, everything working perfect!
