When I add new music to my internal storage via Active Sync and WIndows media player, all files are transferred correctly, so until now no issues.
But when then navigating to the Music tab in Touchflow3D, The screen says it's searching for new music (no little circle on the toolbar appears) and stays there forever searching.
After 1 day I decided to reset the Device and then when going back to the music tab, it searched again but now got the little circle running in the toolbar and after 1 minute all the files were scanned.
I'm using build 35
Anyone else having this issue or is it normal you have to reset your device after new music has been loaded ?
Or is there a tweak or option I didn't see yet ?
yep having the same issue - i have not been able to find a solution so am going to try getting shot of the music tab and install S2P
try updating your library via windows media player
Yeah i tried this - i deleted the file in HTC under apps data to force a new search but no joy - I can add 1 or 2 files and it works as soon as I put a good few on it stops working no matter what!
Ok it's getting annoying for me now. i put some songs, some wallapapers on my sd. but when i'm going to gallery it doens't show up there, even if i removed a image it still there in thumbnail (not the picture itself, so doensn't load). Ok now i want to listen music but they don't show up.
What did i try:
1. Reboot: i tried rebooting couple of time no luck.
2. ES explorer: the images/music is there i can see them. opening a picture shows black screen i have ot wait a long time to make them show up, and if they do i can't do anything with them. For music i can play them by selecting them but no info shows up, it just plays.
3. reload sd card: i reloaded so many times the sd card.
4. different gallery app: i tried other gallery apps but no luck.
Ok what's weird any change doing with the shows up like taking picture. moving a image makes it show up in the gallery. But when i try it from the pc it doesn't show up i didn't try a wipe and don't wan't to do a wipe.
I'm using CM5.0.8T5 with Froyo Radio
Does anyone know what i can do?
I have the same issue with my N1. I got a bigger SD card and decided to put music on my card. When I went into the music app it only listed like 10 of the 2 hundred songs I had put on (which I'm sure un-coincidentally were the songs I had on my old SD card). I tried restarts, I tried removing the SD and reinserting hoping it would re-read. My best guess it's a caching issue, but I'm not really sure. I tried resyncing with DoubleTwist (I'm on a Mac) and the ironic part is my music app detected the new songs, but the DoubleTwist app still only detected the old 10 songs.
Also when I take pics with the camera they sometimes takes a few minutes to even appear in the gallery app, to view them in the meantime I have to go into the camera app and click on the preview icon.
I'm with you on this one... is there any answer to this?
i just noticed this too started the other day, but though nothing of it until i saw this thread.
Now you got ME thinking...
Try app ScanMedia http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-humanrobot-scanmedia-DAAz.aspx

Thnx just tried it but no luck
I forgot to mention i have a 16GB Sd card.
I just last night had a similar issue with songs stored on my 16GB SD card.... I added a bunch, and they didn't change. I changed ID3 tags on others, and they also didn't change. I tried pretty much every suggestion I could find.
How did I finally fix it?
I moved all the songs out of their subfolders and into a new "MUZAK" folder on the root of the SD card. I also deleted all the hidden (.prefix) folders on the SD card that I thought might have anything to do with storing information on the tracks on the card, and also deleted all the data files for the stock and third-party media players on the internal storage. Rebooted, and it seems to have picked up all the tracks. Of course, if I add to it, it probably will fail again...
But this is apparently a well-known issue with the Android Media Scanner service.... it just quits working. It apparently takes some drastic stuff to make it work again.
edit: As a followup, I added a few albums to the SD card and they populated correctly. It'll be interesting to see how long this behavior lasts...
Thnx changing the name worked, don't know for how long.
some songs still miss id3tag even if they are there
Ok just Wipe cache in recovery and media update works again.
SDRescan from the market always works for me.
I should never wiped the cache.. my super duper batterylife got fecked. Horrible.. Arrrrgh!!! down to 74% after 4 hours..
I have a lot of pictures in my SD card.
When I insert the card,Galaxy S starts media scan.
But...It is too long to wait.
While media scanning,I can launch Gallery App.
How can I disable Media Scan?

i have a class 6 adata 16gb card in.. it scans memory twice once for internal sd and 2nd for yourown.. it finishes withing 2-3 minutes after startup.. if yours is taking longer recommend you get a newer faster memory card.. without media scan you will never see new pictures movie in galary or new music.

Media Scanning
Hey there,
Did you ever get this sorted out? Looks like you may have. If I may ask, how long was it taking you to sync? So far, the one thing that could be a deal-breaker for this phone is the fact that Media Scanning is taking FOREVER. So far, I think it's been going for at least 45 minutes. Granted, this is a SanDisk 32GB, which is only a class 2, but primarily what I have on there is photos and music, with just a few video clips. The Droid X which I'm also trying takes a fraction of the time (perhaps several minutes but only does once). Is there a way out of the freeze or delay? Not sure it's ever going to finish and don't really wanna start over from scratch again!
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks,
K-
Even without any external SD card, mine is taking time to do media scan. Yes, the wait is annoying, but only when I soft reboot. Not a big deal for me. I suspect that's the way Android works. In winmo and iPhone, there is no such wait. May be you guys with experience on other android phones could confirm that this happens to all android phones?
Shirley if it could be disabled you could push manual scan after putting files on
Read an interesting blog a while back. Never tried it my self since I don't have that much media on my card.
Some thing about putting .nomedia file in your directory and putting a dot (.) infront of your directory name.

Get a startupmanager (is in the market) and disable the mediastorage under the system tab. startupmanager is a trial, but after you applied the setting you can uninstall the app and setting remain there. Then if you want to manually scan get the scanmedia app (also in market).

yes it will work.. but better to use nomedia with the huge directory that is causing the hangup or get a faster card.. reason.. if you have any music you want to play or mp3 ringtones.. they will not work if you disable scan. ie you will not have your ringtones.. but stock sounds such as beeping when a call comes in.
What does Media Scan do?
What does media scan even do?

Using a rooted but otherwise stock ROM I removed the "Media Storage" component entirely via Root Uninstall. Now the phone actually takes slightly longer to locate my apps and widgets on boot, however it no longer has to rescan every time I put it in USB Mass Storage mode and/or disconnect it. i use the phone as a flash drive for my job extensively (that and ConnectBot FTW!) so this was a major issue for me.
I suppose disabling the media scanner would be a safer approach, but if anyone is wondering, you CAN safely remove this entirely if you have a rooted phone. In my case, I'm using WinAMP as my music player, so don't need it for that. Gallery still works flawlessly so this service isn't used by Gallery I think.
I have noticed one single side effect of this though. Apparently Google+ installed to my SD card by default, which disabled the Google+ widget entirely (removed it and couldn't re-add it). Simply moving the app to internal storage solved this.
i have a 3d movie tangled on my thrill but the problem is when i play it its shows up with the screen split down the middle with the same thing showing up on both sides,i just put the movie on my sd card,any help?thanks
You need to start the movie. Select 3d. Hide the menu. Reshow the menu and use the 3d formatted to side by side
(The button to the left ofnhome)

att thrill 4g 3d.... sound not playing on downloaded 3d videos
hi did anyone have issues with sound with downloaded 3d videos
my was saying sound not supported
and some videos there would not be sound playing.
When I select Timeshift-Video from the camera options and record a video (no matter to internal or class 10 SD card), it indeed does record a video and the small thumbnail also shows "120f" after saving. But then playback is just like any other regular video, that is, in real time. Hence, no timeshift/slow-motion anywhere. Further, I don't get this -well, how to describe it- settings circle on the screen for playback adjustments I used to see on the Z2.
Phone is stock (BL locked) with FW .98 DE. Anyone experienced the same issue or is that just me? Any hints appreciated.
I have the same problem. I tried internal memory an sd card, its just not working.
Strange...
Try to open the video and then push the edit button.
Normmaly the video editor opens and you can choose the sequence and the speed of the video...

Exactly, that's how it should normally work, but it doesn't on my phone. Also, there's no edit button anywhere, only on photos.
What FW version/build do you have installed? Maybe that's something that got fixed in .105 (I'm on .98)?
23.0.A.2.93 is my version. Same problem mine does not have a edit button. Only star and trashcan buttons are available.
Finally figured it out...
Check for App "Movie Creator" to actually appear twice under Settings-> Apps -> All.
Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11
Movie Creator 2.0.A.0.10
Now, since I did not want these great automatic movies to get created thereby filling up (if only a bit) my precious storage, I disabled both of them.
That was one too much
(Re-)Enabling the one with the older version alone (Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11) brings back full functionality of Timeshift Videos.
However, why Sony has tied these together (Timeshift Videos and Movie Creator) is beyond me...
Excellent!
THANKTHANKTHANK THANK I LOVE !! fix it
for me the Movie Creator wont show the 120 fps video and when i am in the video i cant press "edit". it wont show at all
so is there another way to watch those 120 fps in slowmo? on pc? on the device with another videoplayer perhaps?

how did you get these two apps? i have the app installed from Sony and i can start it, but it doesn't apear in the list settings > apps > all i have none of the above.
i tried removing the app and reinstalling it from the playstore, but still no timeshift editting.
how did you do that?
Are you on Android 5? Not sure whether they got renamed since 4.4.4 (which I'm still using). Check System Apps with say Es File Explorer, too.

go in to your 120f video like your going to play it. but instead of tepping the middle of the screen to play it tap underneath it. youll see what looks like a
press that icon. then you can adjust what speed and trim the video
