Greetings everyone. I had a Bionic, rooted with a simple "one-click" root, wich seemed to work fine on my phone. At some point the phone got cracked recently and i paid veriz for my insurance replacement. I stored all my music, vids, pics on my SD card and transferred it to the new one. Can someone please tell me if I try to play these files, this message displays:
"Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file."
Picture won't show at all either. I have tried copying these into their normal folders on my internal memory. No luck. How do I fix this?

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..
Is there any way to get Doubletwist to recognize and store my files on the removable SD instead of the phone's internal "media area"? I'm filling up the latter quite fast, while the external card is nearly empty. I can't find any setting in DT that lets you choose where to store music on the device.
I know that Doubletwist's publisher has been promising a "fix" for about five months now, but I figured someone here might have come up with something on their own.
Any help appreciated. TIA
Alternatively, any recommendations on a player with desktop iTunes sync functionality and flexibility in storage locations on the Bionic?
This is a known issue with the Bionic and DoubleTwist. I submitted a ticket with Doubletwist support, and they confirm that the software is not working properly with ExternalSD on the Bionic.
I uploaded my DeviceID information for them, and the support agent promised that it would be fixed in the next release. They offered no workaround. Sorry
I've been using Songbird with MediaSync to get around the issue, but it does no transcoding, which is less-than-ideal.
It's because Moto made /sdcard the internal memory and /sdcard-ext the external as opposed to the normal /emmc and /sdcard for internal and external respectively.
This problem is shared with the x2 and d3 and there is a fix, I"m just not sure if it was adapted to the Bionic yet.

I use Easy Phone Tunes Plus on my Bionic and it works fine for me. Easy Phone Tune has a free version that you can try to see if you like it. It's also available for PC or Mac.
Thanks for the info!
@kraamerica, does Easy Phone Tunes Plus store files on sd-ext? That's my bigger issue, really: Even with syncing only a portion of my music, I run out of space quickly. Kind of a bite to have the SD card there and not be able to use it.

I will look this afternoon when I get back to my PC. That's where you control the syncing and it's pretty good and letting you choose what you want to sync (including podcasts) I just can't remember if there is a "where".
When you 1st establish a connection through the setting's of the Easy Phone Application, it will show your "2" phones (one is your internal, the other external). You would chose the 2nd "phone" unless you have the SD card swap in place.
Then you go through the rest of what you what synced in the next section of the setup and you are good to go. Or so I would hope.
Hello,
I have just recorder a movie with my wp8 device and cannot find where to view it on the phone.
Do not tell me I cannot do this...
Where is it? In photos/camera roll is not, in music&videos is not. Where is it??
P.S just found out that on a longer video, the SD card stores the video but it appears as used space on Others, and it's missing from Photos/camera roll
Use the Music+Videos hub.
RE:
Got it solved. the problem was my SDcard, the movies weren't saved. I have formatted my microsd card in the phone and now it works.
1) Please could you assist me, every time I record a video using my Z, playback on my device unfortunately is not clear, I get green distorted imagery, why is this happening? am I doing something wrong? its updated to the latest software, would appreciate your assistance. Videos work fine if I play on my PC but sadly not on the device.
2) Music does not appear on my walkman app or play music app unless I upload it to my phone's internal memory and then manually transfer using file manager from internal to my memory card to save space, have any of you experienced this? If I transfer music directly in to my memory card, it does not show up on the 2 apps for music, I have to manually find the tracks using file manager and play em which can be troublesome and increasingly annoying.
Device is not rooted or flashed, Brand new since April 2013.
Paid a visit to the O2 store in london, Guru helped flash my device with the new firmware directly from sony's site, he believes that possibly during the update last done, a bug developed and caused the two issues above. I am happy to report my device is working GOOD and the above problems is a thing of the past.
Hi All
Firstly, a huge thankyou to @leapinlar for the "Dummies Guide for Installing CM 10.1/10.2" thread. It literally resurrected my sluggish, unusable NookHD sitting in the bottom of my drawer, to something i'm enjoying using via using CMD 10.1.3 Hummingbird!
I do have a few issues tho which I've searched high & low for but cannot seem to find answers, so figured I'd throw it out here:
(1) "can't play video": this is a message I keep getting when attempting to play any videos. they worked on the nook prior to the CM install, i'm using MX player as read that's the best for all codecs. the videos are all residing in the device's memory not the external microSD. should all media be stored (& played from) a microSD card, as opposed to the device memory?
(2) music scrubs speedily thru tracks: so basically can't listen to any mp3s on device. songs just skip thru themselves (like super fast scrubbing similar to sound of changing radio stations) then skips to next track. these mp3s also all reside on device's memory not the external microSD. again, should i play all media from the microSD?
(3) no notifications: i don't seem to be getting any notifications. gmail, facebook, twitter, instagram etc... nothing. when new emails come in, no sound, nor unread number updated on app icon (yup, gmail's configured correctly via managed labels etc). facebook & twitters app icons also don't update with a number representing a new notifications
(4) microSD not recognized: im testing with a small 2GB SanDisk microSD and although it is mounted, I don't see any option to "format SD". I also tried to export a photo & a zip from my Dropbox to the SD and although it appears to save it there, it doesn't -- saves it to internal. Am I missing something?
sorry if these are rookie questions, I will admit I am a rookie! any help or pointers appreciated.
cheers

ok, so made progress after
audio & video both play well when:
(a) reside on the microSD card, not internal memory.
&
(b) are transferred on there externally via a card reader prior to inserting card into nook.
(transferring the *same* music/videos to the microSD whilst it resides in the nook (and connecting nook via USB) resulted it some files playing whilst others didn't... very temperamental)
as for notifications, they seem to have fixed itself.
