[Q] My media has disappeared! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I have searched this btw, and couldn't find anything.
All my images in the gallery has disappeared, I've tired several apps to do a media scan and even used SEUS to flash it back to 2.1 and still havn't got them back! They're still on my sd card, I can see the files when it's connected to the computer. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks!!
Currently running Wolfbreak's CM6.1.3V4.3 if that's important.

I'm currently running the same rom.....never had a single issue.
Try downloading "quickpic" by alansw.com from the market and see if that works.

Quickpic fixed it, if I select "show hidden." Seems like one of my folders got hidden somehow. That's a brilliant program. Thanks!!

there should be a folder where the downloads go..have you checked in there using a file manager to see the file you downloaded? Maybe try deleting it?
Do you have a task killer?

Adobe Reader
Certain Gameloft Games
What kernel/rom are you using? OC'ed?
I have checked there, and the file is not there, it either disappeared or it was never downloaded, because I kept gettin an error message at the time that there were an error in downloading the file because it needed wifi ... After that my phone started acting up
kernel version 2.6.29
2.1-update1 the firmware version
What apps have you recently installed? What program did you use to search for free music?
I think I had a similar issue when trying to use a 'free to me' Gameloft game - I'd try to get that 'thugware' off your system and see if the problem persists.

Flash Icon Not Displayed

Hi all, first post for me. Newbie issue, I downloaded the Adobe Flash 10.1 reader and had the icon displayed on my screen. After shutting down unit and restarting it, the icon is missing. I've uninstalled & reinstalled it several times but same issue, any ideas? A70IT. Thanks,
where is the icon now not displayed?
can you play flash at all still?
try going to the youtube.com and playing a movie in your browser.
also, try installing the new flash 10.2 that was leaked this week.

Thanks CarsnGadgets, just installed 10.2 and all is well. Thanks again........
Flash never had an icon on the homescreen or app drawer.... AFAIK
thats why I asked,
I thought maybe it was missing from the webpages he was looking at, the on demand place holder thing, but sounds like flash 10.2 has sorted whatever problem he had.

Can't install Skype from market

Lately, I had an SD card go bad that had all my apps on it. After I put in a new one, everything seem to work install back just fine except for Skype and lastpass. They don't error out on the install either, they just show up briefly in the status bar as if they were downloading, and the quickly disappear.
So why exactly is this happening and is there a workaround for it?

[Q] Few general questiones

1. What would you recommend as a good client for the PC for transfering files via Bluetooth? i mean somthing better then the built in Win 7 client.
2. Recently i discoverd QuickPic which is absolutly much better then stock Gallery in terms of customization. but the weird thing is that everybody claims it loads pics much faster then the Gallery while every time i load it, it takes a second the get the sharpness right, even though this is the 20 time i load the same pic. im talking about a "second" that you will notice! i tried everything to fix this including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing cache, moving the files from the external SD to the internal, formating and changing rom's and its still the same though no one else ever mentioned that problem..is it just with me? i wouldnt want to give up QuickPic so fast..also, any other gallery i tried does not have that delay effect for fixing the sharpness. please advice what could be the problem.
Im on litening ROM v4.2 if thats matter.
Thanks!!
Any help?

Hi. In respect of point 2 I also use QuickPic and have the same 1sec sharpness adjustment. Not sure if its an actual bug though.

[Q] Apps disappear / uninstall by themselves.

I have no idea what could be causing this. I've never heard of anything like it, and I have yet to find any posts or anything on Google pertaining to it. The problem is simple. I install an app or game. Play or use it. Go do something else for 20 minutes to an hour come back expecting to use said app, and its gone. Its not in the launcher or manage apps, and play store acts as if it wasn't yet installed. I can go to market again to install it but that's just bothersome. I'm on an 8gb nook tab running an emmc install of cm10, looks like its the 2012-9-3 acclaim build according to about tab. Other than that I'm not sure which ROM exactly.
Any thoughts would be awesome.

I only downloaded this ROM about four days ago. That combined with the fact that that was my second post on xda, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume I didn't know there was an updated version. May I ask what your recommendation of most stable cm10 ROM would be?

I've been running this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217) for a couple of days with no issues at all. Very happy with it.

How's your battery life? Can you compare it to CM7 or stock? Mine was so pathetic I'm back on CM7.

Is there a "place holder" icon in place of the disappeared app? (home screen and app drawer, either or both) Would appear as a generic android icon.
Also, what apps are disappearing specifically?

When Ext-Sd card auto unmounts (known bug) everything installed on it (because ext-sdcard are default one /sdcard1) is then shown as a green android without their normal icon.
I've been having this issue as well with Business Calendar Pro. It isn't installed to the SDCARD. I haven't had the problem with the latest version of the ROM though.

I can't compare it to stock or CM7, though -- I haven't run either stock or CM7 since April or so. It does seem to suck the battery down much faster than Chris' CM10, though. To deal with that, I've been doing a full power-off (long press and select "Power Off") instead of a soft power-off when I know I won't be using the tablet for a while.
Saludos,
Steve

Almost any app. Here's an updated play by play.
Install app. App can be used.
After a while it disappears.
Can reinstall and use again.
Usually disappears again.
If tab is rebooted apps reappear. Icon and all.
If you attempt to open they force close. I don't remember the error message.
This mostly happens on large apps or games.
I'm gonna attempt to update my ROM and see if it still has the same problems.
Updated to the latest cherry picks ROM. I wiped and cleared everything. Same problem. Same symptoms. Any thoughts on causes and possible solutions? Or is this just a bug with the ROM?

I've experienced a similar issue, and it appears to be the result of the SD card getting (forcibly?) unmounted while sleeping. I have no idea how to prevent it other than moving all apps to internal storage if possible. Maybe ensuring that any apps the rely on storing data on the SD card are terminated before sleeping?
FWIW, I've had the same thing happen in the past with the stock BN ROM so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when it happened running CM10.

Okay, so the exact same thing happened that the OP described to me this morning on 27/09. I had moved several apps to the SD card and then when I came back to my Nook about a half-hour later, all those apps showed as Android icons and could not be launched. Rebooting made it possible to launch the apps again and brought back the normal icons.
Update: Perhaps it's coincidence but it seems that whenever I manually disable WiFi before sleeping my Nook (running 27/09 here), then everything is fine. However, if I forget to disable WiFi, then for some reason the SD has a chance to be unmounted while sleeping which requires me to re-install any apps that are installed on the SD card or that depend on the SD card for normal use.
I'm also thinking that maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with WiFi being enabled, but instead perhaps it's just having apps running that depend on the SD when the unit sleeps (such as XDA premium which I've had to re-install several times over the last couple of days ) .
In all, it seems like a really vague and random issue that occurs and reiterating my previous posts, I've seen the SD card get unmounted using the original ROM so I'm just not sure what the deal is here.
I have a problem,with my tablet. I found that 3 of my favour apps has disappeared from my apps list and tablet . I don,'t uninstalled it. What can I do to recover an install it again. When I go in my Googly Store my apps list The 3 apps that is disappeared is not listed there. The 3 apps thats is disappeared is Mxit beta, Google translate and Opera Mini web browser. Is there anything I can do to find this disappered apps on my MTN Steppa 7" Tablet. Finally When I try to download a app from the webside or google play store it shows dowloading by don,t stop the download arrow flashing on and on even when I swiched off the mobile data it still shows downloading but nothing stops. When Switched on the Mini data the the download app is Queued. What can I do to stopit and removed it.
i hope really that you can help mevwhit this problem.
