Hi
Since i upgrated the os from GB to ICS, i have a problem with the music player and the gallery they showing empty duplicated files. For example, if i go the the music player i will see every song that i had before i upgraded the os twice, one is empty and does not play, the second one is the real file songs that i addes after the ICS upgrad, showing well, only once. I can't even delete the empty song from the music player.
Same on the gallery app
How can i fix this?
Maybe there is an index file for those files so i can delete it?
I tried already clear data from the app manager
Thanks

And I thought I was alone on this.
I tried unmounting SD and remounting, did not work.
Unmounting and rebooting neither
I can cancel these files one by one, after first finding out witch one if the wrong not working copy, but we are talking thousands of files, so not an option.
Any suggestions ?
ps. this is not happening to all files but I have not found a pattern yet.
Update: I now took the SD out and put it in the pc, did a little cleanup (but no double files to see on the pc), did a defragmentation (do not think it had any effect but it is a healthy thing to do), at the same time I rebboted Gnote without the SD.
After this, replacing the SD in the Gnote it appears my problem has gone....nice
Thanks
I just tried to unmount&mount, unmount&reboot without sd and i saw still dublicates but now both were empty because the music is on the sd that i put out that time. I tried and it didn't work
Slinbin - can you explain me again what you did?
I need to replace it with another sd and then to back again the original sd that i use?
I had them in triple... This is what I did.
First off, I had all my music and photos on my external SD card, I don't think this would work if they are on the internal SD storage.
Shutdown phone
Remove SD card
Restart phone
Music Player, All, Left click, Delete, Select all
Same for Gallery
Then shutdown, put the card again and restart
It took a few minutes for the indexes to be rebuilt while ICS was scanning the SD card and now all's good.
-- Be careful if you have Music and/or Photos on your internal storage because this may delete it forever!!! -
Same problem was with mine. Just go to application manager> all application and search media storage, music player, gallery application and just delete cache and data and restart. It will solve the problem a it force to re build data base

I had all my pictures and music on the ext. SD.
Took it out
Rebooted GN without any SD card
(did cleanup and defragment on PC during this but do not think that helped removing the dublicates)
reinserted the SD
Viola ! it is working fine without the dublicates
PS: reading bcn_nospam's post above I think he/she ? has the better solution (now i do not have the problem so I can not test it) but a corrupt cache as reason for the doubles makes sense.

This would be the ideal solution. Do not panic after doing this.
This process basically cleares the cache and the Android OS will start finding all the media files (Photo, Audio and Video) .. then you should have a single copy of the ..
I did not try the Mounting an unmounting method...
I deleted the data from the music player and gallery application through: application manager> all application and search media storage, music player, gallery application. I then unmounted the SD card and re-mounted it. All issues corrected.
Is this a bug with ICS on the note??? I am routed and I have the Speedmod kernal running on the standard ROM. I would be good to know if the cause is a standard bug or something I have done?
Thanks

How do you remove the duplicates from the Cloud version of Google Music?
Duplicate Music Samsung Galaxy Note
I have the same issue, and working on my second phone.
Initially I thought this problem to be caused by Google Music, downloading and adding music files to the phone. So, I did a restore and stopped Google from accessing the web and syncing with online. But then it happened anyway. I'm also having issues with the photo gallery giving blank thumbnails for photos and not being able to access them.
Samsung has no clue about these issies. I contacted Samsung today,919/12 and spoke with a rep. The only advise the rep had was to clear the application cache, which DID NOT WORK for me. Or do a restore which I'd already done and landed me back at the same place.
Switched from Sprint to AT&T to get this phone but could have stayed with Sprint and gotten the Galaxy S3 which I understand is not having these issues.
As yet, a 2nd level rep has contacted me back with no fix, but suggested it could be a bad batch of phones and said I should try another from another city. So I'm going to take a 30 mile drive to the next city and do the second exchange I've done in the last 10 days.
Anyone come across a fix for these issue feel free to email me [email protected]

Clearing data and cache solved the issue for me till next restart. What solved it was clearing data cache and dalvik cache. Try that.

I think its a bug with ics. Because my Sony Xperia ion is having this problem and my brothers atrix hd Had this problem
Welcome to the wonderful world of android. Erasing the media cache will solve the problem temporarily, but every time you reboot the device it will scan and duplicate all of the media database entities and create new empty duplicates. This renders any android device (nearly) useless as a media player.
I have verified that this issue exists on multiple roms on the following devices:
Droid Incredible 1: GB
i-9100: GB
i-9100: ICS
N7000: GB
N7000: ICS
In fact, I have yet to use an android device that doesn't encounter this issue. It seems like a pretty major issue for a smartphone to be unusable as a media player but no one else seems to complain much. I've wasted hours on this issue.
Hi all, I am from Mauritius and is a happy owner of the Note 1. Friday while trying to review the pictures and video I took few hours ago, my phone says media scanning, like 4 times. I switched it off and on again.
All pictures and video in my gallery were gone!! only received files were here, like downloaded pics, viber or whats app pics.
I am so desperate as I did videos of my daughter's 1st school show on it...I didn't sleep for 2 days trying to find a solution.
Anyone can PLEASE help me:crying: And I have no external memory on the phone I have only been using the internal one.
Do you use any application to stop media scan?, or maybe you have some corrupted media file on your sd.. Download app from play store to restart media scanner service.. Try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dcd.scanmedia

Or try wipe cache and data of gallery and media scan using its own application manager. Restart phone and let it scan again.

Thanks How do i do that please?
Connect to pc and check if the picture/video are there in DCIM folder.
If they have gone then download free windows file recovery like Recuva.
Enable usb utilities in setting
Scan your phone(which is now removeable storage) for deleted file

Theres a place to see all apps. Use that and scroll to gallery and media app. Clear the cache and data.
Application manager is the one.

U mean they're just black? Possibly they have been overwritten by something but can't b all.
Out of no where my phone has lost all of its pics. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I went to go open my gallery and found I had no images in it, I did have my other albums but anything taken with the camera was deleted.

Do you back up to Google+?
Folders are tagged to show in the gallery. I'd check the file system and see if everything is still there.

Yes i do back everything up with Google plus. It's just strange how this happened. My phone never turned off it just poofed out of thin air.

Sounds like the virtual SD card partition is corrupt. I would try a reboot and if that doesn't work you may have to do a factory reset.
What happens when you plug the phone into a computer?
my google photos app working very weired ..not able to delete any pic ..gallery doesnt open any edit options ..not playing any videos .was working quit well at day one ..
already clear cache clear data ..even factory data reset ..works well after reset for sometime ..but again start behaving like this ...sometimes it works properly after device restart for hardly 1 min ...

If you have just purchased the phone, maybe the app is trying to sync the photos/videos that you have in your google account? And since the amount is huge, it is taking time? Try not to use the app until the backup complete message is displayed. I may be wrong but this is what comes to my mind.
Thanks for ur reply bro but even i was thinking same at first ...but the main problem rite now is ..not able to delete anything... Portrait mode pics are not sown as portrait mode pics ..no editing options

Is this intentional? Did they mess with the gallery app to make me change my phone? What is this ****? I've been force closing the app for 2 months now. Note the 5000 random files. Deleted another 2000 in the other cache folder.

your sd card is corrupted, buy a new one
That's internal storage, but after I cleared all the pics, videos and that cache the problem seemed to stop. I'm thinking I had some pic it was trying to enhance, like when I take a camera pic I can't see it right away, I have to wait for the app to edit it.

Can you use adb and try removing the gallery app ?
