Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.
If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.
I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?
If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:

No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.
Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).
Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
Can anybody help??
Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??
TIA
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.
The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.
I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.
The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.
Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.
It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .
Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .

yes, tried 3 sdcards.
Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.
This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.

If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!

Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.
So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.
The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.

Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).
Have you tried changing kernels?

No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.
Edit:
I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.
I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.
It surely must be a software problem.

Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.
It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
Hi guys,
I've been frustrated with this issue for a while. By using any kind of file manager, I can see my sd card (under /storage/sdcard1). Can copy file to and from. The same goes when I connect the phone to my PC. But when I try to read music from the sd card, it seems that non of the music apps can see the SD. The same goes with the gallery, can't see any pics from the SD. Tried to clear data from media service but still no luck.
I am using RR Rom, before when I used GB, didn't have any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

use 'Rescan media' app from store's to rescan ur media
also delete Data/cache of Music,gallery apps then reboot and see
I installed Mean Bean 1.1 a couple days ago, updated to 1.2, and I can not access my pictures or music (and probably other items) through any app that isn't a file explorer. I wiped my ext memory using my phone and mounted again, connected to PC and added back some pictures and mp3 files, still nothing. I moved them to the internal storage, nothing again. I take pictures and they show up in the gallery, details showing they are on the external SD card. I have tried wiping it every which way, tried several different SD cards, and still nothing. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated (I know I can just switch ROMs but I can't imagine no one else is having this issue)
Have you tried a rescan media application from the market?
Sent from magical jelly bean.
Reinstall the latest meanbean. It's not a rom issue but it should help your phone find your pics.

Have you tried formatting the sd threw recovery?? Also have you partitioned your sd at all??

I'm using Omega v17 rom. I flashed it yesterday and I couldn't move apps to sd card or install apps from Google play store. I need help ASAP. Does anyone know what to do?

With this information nobody can help you. You should post what kind of error you got, coping but not finished, have a error and don't want to start coping, etc.
Well, I tried reflashing the rom today and wiping everything. First off I had problems with Titanium Backup. It couldn't restore some bigger apps or games(Subway Surfers, Rom Toolbox Pro). Then I manually restored all of my apps. Then I tried to move apps from internal storage to sd card using app2sd. I clicked on move to sd card option, and it just gave me the error: ''unable to move app''. And I have noticed that I cant delete some files form my sd card (like pictures, or files in the lost.dir folder).
For some reason after I installed a theme (jb domination) my sd suddenly became damaged!!
I cant see my sd if I connect my phone or via an sd reader, but I can see my images and listen to my music thats on my sd card, I cant navigate to it via file manager either...anyone have this and fix it before, Or eill i need to reformat and lose my data on my sd?

you can check SD card on your PC before reformat, copy all on your PC and after you can do wipe data and wipe cache

wont show up on my pc, i can see files in cwm though :S
I noticed that your using the siyah kernel, I''ve had a similar problem since using it. After installing a second Rom to the sdcard, the first Rom now says the sdcard is damged.
When I boot into the second Rom it works perfectly, no problems, but the first Rom can't even mount it and just says damaged.
I don't have any work around, but it may be helpful to have a possible cause.

Did you try accessing and move your files with root explorer? or removed jb domination?
or install Titanium backup --> backup all your apps and files (except jb domination ) and reflash a new rom with ODIN. afterwards restore your apps and files.
