I can't se my music in any music player

Hello, everybody. I Installed new ROM on my SGM - MIUI GingerBread Latest release (stable). At first - everything was ok. But after while - I noticed, that there is no music in my music player. At first - I checked whole my SD card and removed ALL .nomedia files. I still can't find my music. Then I tried other music player - Winamp - still nothing.
I don't know, what to do! I have about 100 songs in my phone, but I can't find it via music player, but I can play these songs, when I'am playing it via Root Explorer.
P.S. I can see all my photos, that are in my SD Card, also some photos are in the same folder as music and I can find only photos. On root explorer I see everything.
I hope you understood and now you are ready to help me, because I can't live without music.
Sorry for poor English.

Try going to settings and unmount sd card... Then put off the card from the phone and then put back the memory card once you did that reboot your phone so at the boot it will reload your memory card hope it works... I had the same problem...solved in this way

try your sd card in another device...if it find music so just re flash your miui

I had the same problem.. i could only see d sound files of Grand prix live game.. i deleted that foler and then i could see all my songs in d music player which were already in the sd card.. u shud delete those music files which are visible in the music player..

What I did is just put the mp3 files to sdcard/MIUI/music/mp3. And it worked Strange, but this worked for me.

go to development setting in phone setting
in develpment setting -->media scanner-->come back when scanning is finished..

I got the same error. Tried all above ways... Nothing. But unlike you all i was using JB not miui

Hey guys the solution is simple just open the folder with your songs and delete the .nomedia file cause that hides everything in that folder from media scan
Do thank if I helped....

[Q] safe google music on sdcard1 (extsdcard emmc)

Hello,
I am always running out of space because google music lets me only store my music in the internal storage of the razr i.
To solve this I have unlocked my bootloader and have rooted my phone.
My idea was to use the app "folder binding" to bypass this issue.
I have set the app up like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015964&page=2 (first post on second page).
and the folders "music" and "cache" appear in my newly created directory on my sdcard but my storage still goes down!
What I ve done:
Source: /storage/sdcard1/GMusic
Target: /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/
(confusingly target and source seem to be mixed up in the app "folder binding")
Can anybody help me or suggest a solution? Is there a special trick I have to consider with the razr i?

You could try this proposal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40122063&postcount=529

Thanks for the help!
what it does is using the external sdcard for both internal and external memory right?
I dont doubt that this works but its not the solution I am aiming at. I just want to store the music from google music on my external sdcard.

[Q] Whatsapp Media storage location, SDCard0 instead of extSDCard

Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?

in my S4
whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

install GL to SD from google play and move the data from sdcard0 to ext and link it

Nothing worked out for my xperia zl

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.

Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks

Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.

Anyone knows what i did wrong?

[Q] [q] external sd

guys, i just bought this phone n a 32 GB mmc
but i just found out we cant install to external SD
i try using adb shell set-install-location 2
but then i cant install anything it said "not enogh memory" so i had to return it back to 0
later i found out using shiaomi that this phone thinks its internal SD is both internal n external
cant we do anything about it?
btw my phone's bootloader is locked and it said it cannot be unlocked, does that mean i will not be able to root this phone for all eternity?

Please post your questions in the Q&A thread in future...
Thread moved.

They are working on a way to root for locked bootloader. You can send pics movies music etc to SD card. but not apps or data......I only found this out after buying the phone.
If they find way to root for locked bootloader then you might be able to use link 2sd and create partition, which you can then send the apps to the the SD card and create links so it looks like they are on internal memory

In the phone settings, there is a handy menu that says "Transfer data to SD card". It automatically cleans your media files from internal memory and moves them to external SD card. At least this should free some space for your apps.

Don't know about the mod with the link above mate.
Try with doomlord's method. Don't think you could get problems. Otherwise post on root's thread and ask if it's possible

The combination of two programs (link2sd & foldermount) that u have mentioned are worked but i have 2 problems
1.link2sd does'nt move all apps and some of them take error
2.foldermount just pair apps and increase internal storage from ( setting/storage) and this section is good but my problem is this :
in the root explorer i check my free memory and see the data folder in both of source. like this : sdcard0/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3 & sdcard1/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3
this means in 2 storage (int & ext) contains data folders!
what can i do?

To use link2sd you need to make partition on ext card and set it to primary i used free easeus partition tool to make partition you won't lose data. You need to use pc and sd card connected to pc without phone.
I have 32gig card and made a 4gig partition.then you can send apps to ext card by creating a link
Foldermount you need to create a folder on ext card eg game data then create separate folder for each game/app you want to move.
open foldermount app then give the app you are moving a name,select folder you are copying then select where you want to move data to ie the folder you created on ext SD card then select go
When files have been m moved you need to press the pin and make sure it goes green.
this app will pair the folder and files and trick phone into seeing file on internal memory but are really in SD card, it may seem that it has copied it twice, it has not.
I have asphalt 7, real racing 3 NFS most wanted,NFS shift plus others that all have extra data between 200mb-600mb installed when these are on internal I only had 1-1.5 gig spare and constantly being told to move data as system apps where not running.
By using these apps I have over 4.5gig spare.
think of these apps like making shortcuts on pc desktop that's all they do is move data by creating link to internal and ext card.
If you are having issues with apps they both have xda threads where the devs are active in answering questions
I can't give any more info sorry these worked for me and found them very easy to use and set up that why I mentioned them if they are not working maybe try the swap internal/external trick which is posted in Sp thread

This is normal
Android always seek first mounted storage memory, in this case, sdcard0 for store any files first
After that, you can move it to another directory
You can do nothing for this behaviour, except you change OS system behaviour itself
