Gallery and music problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know how this happened, one minute everything was fine. Then I went to show a friend a video and everything in my gallery was gone.. I'm currently on litening 6.1. I just flashed from 5 today to see if a reflash would fix the problem. But nothing is fixed... if anyone else has had a similar problem please let me know. Thanx.

Were the contents of the gallery deleted or the phone doesn't recognise them?

Recuva may find deleted files on a memory card .

I had a same problem in my SGS II....2 day before i took lots fo photos and videos, when i open the galaxy some photos shows as question mark so i re-started my phone and everything gone...since that time i tried every posibilities to recover them thru data recovery softwares...but no luck at all, i can not find any single photo or video what i'd taken that day. My storage were in SD card...very annoying! please someone help to solve this problem....

Hey sorry guys. Now I'm doin it. Haha. Na they weren't deleted.I could find them on my SD card through file explorer and I could find music through power amp. But it was getting frustrating so I did factory reset and everything was fine. Must've been a bug in the gallery or something.??

This is the known problem in Android..
Teh same happened to me on my SG3..
Teh stock 3d gallery and music palyer aint tht good..
Gallery for teh Eclair ROM (2d galley) was alot more faster an better.. But we won't be able to use it in FROYO or GINGERBREAD until some one ports it
Use power Amp an Quick pic as alternatives..

Quick Pic is a must personally. Don't like poweramp for the simple fact that when compared to samsungs stock music app, poweramp at the same volume sounds more distorted

Music player problem

Hi, encountered a problem with the music player (stock) not displaying albums.All was fine until today when i opened the player to discover no albums.All are there if storage is selected or browsed through file explorer but non show up in the player.Dont recall doing anything that would cause a problem,they just semed to disapear.Any help would be great TIA.
Job done I removed all the music and copied it all back on again and it popped back up.
Just resetting the medialibrary would have done the same.
I did reset the library several times but it just would not show up. Not had the problem before and not had it since, but the fix worked so all good? Thanx for your input anyways.

Is it the pre-installed?
If it is.... you should try some other ,that could work better.
Maybe its a bug , that will be fixed on the next update.

The problem inst the actual player but the android media scanner, it seems to have problems with large media libraries, deleting and copying the files again does work sometimes but not always, best way to be shure you won't have any problems is to use Power AMP, you can find it in the market, that will never have that problem because it has it's own way of scanning the folders

Phone hang while playing music

I encountered a problem with my SGS2 GT-i1900G. My phone tends to hang while I'm listening to music using headphone.Usually it stuck when the phone was in standby mode. I'm a newbie, please give me some advise. I had tried to store my music on external sd and also internal storage but the problem still occurred.I had tried all the best that I can includes:-
1. Factory recovery.
2. Close down all unused apps.
Please. I need help
Delete the cache your music / wipe the dalvik cache via recovery
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
S2 hang while listening to music
Glad i found someone else encounter the same issue.
It happened to me as well while on earphone and phone went idling. I am also on S2 I9100G. When this happens, i need to take out the battery too.
I have changed a couple of memory card. From kingston to sandisk.
Nothing works. At first, i thought it was memory card but if like the OP mentioned. It happened to internal memory. It will happen all the time.
I am using the default music player. I notice that the player would not play in background because once you press the phone button. The music player stop.
My next trial would be using the winamps player and not the default player to see if this still happen. Winamp (widget) allows simultaneous running of other thing while listening to music.
Hope someone found a solution for this. It looks like a manufacturer defects. Either hardware or software.
I'm having this issue too, hope it gets fixed
Tried winamps, same thing.
I have tried winamps. Same problem still.
This sucks.
strangr u all using the default smmy headphones???????try a diff one and post the result
I have used different headphones with my s2 but the problem still there!...wht i think when ur using mobile network switch from 3G to 2G e.g, music player get hangs...

[Q] Amaze music player will not play full mp3?

Amaze music player will not play full mp3?
OK all; I’ve had this issue with both of my phones (one went swimming). It didn’t bother me so much before as I had not yet did the full merge for phone only use of music. NOW that I am using my cell as mp3 player like I should, this bugs the **** out of me!!! ***ANY help or knowledge on this matter will save me from doing another destructive test! *****
What happens is when I play any mp3 file that is longer than a normal or standard track it switches to the next track without finishing the current one. Such as a 1.5 hr continuous mix, around ten minutes in it switches to the next mp3 file (whether it’s a downloaded noise for ring tone, or the beginning of another track). Sucks with earbuds in on a quiet track and then BAM-a loud track –or vice versa –totally makes me wanna throw this $500 cell!!
I have tried using the google player, the other music player, switching from cell hard drive to removable card—does not make any difference. It will play single normal tracks of course but they are not as long and does not have the time to skip ahead.
One of the main reasons I am using the phone is for the ability to skip through long tracks/mixes. I don’t know if it is an amaze issue, android issue, sd card format issue, music placement on card issue or what. I have tried many things and am willing to do whatever it takes if someone knows a fix. A diff music program/root? I have a stock cell now.
It will happen when I am using headphones or plugged into car audio .
I sure hope someone has come across this ! Thanks in advance for any response!
Anyone? I mean, have any of you tried to play an eBook mp3? Maybe a school lecture? A long DJ mix? ----and have it play all the way through? Like past 10 minutes?
Maybe you have shake to shuffle enabled.. otherwise my long EDC mixes play just fine I think
Just for you I played a 1hr+ MP3 on a 32Gb class 10 card,
27 mins in, playing fine. Try copying your tracks to your internal memory or re-converting them from CD?

Thank you sooooooo much for a reply! And EDC type muze is exactly what I am talking about! I tried it again w/ a long mix and at 10 min 26 sec every time BAM-skips to nxt track or sound. I have headphones plugged in and cell is still on desk (no movement) so no shaky. Where do you have your files? on an sd card or phone memory? Are they listed in folders? Any details will help !!!! If yours is working then mine should!!! aaaaaaarrrgh!

THANKS FOR TESTING FOR ME!!! yeah mine again --10min 27 sec switches? I too have a 32gb card. i have played them on the cell mem and sd card with same response. The tracks that i am referring to are actually not on a disc but only a file so cannot re-convert. They play as they shld everywhere but on cell. I dont know if there is a time out feature/limit? But i have not found one. I have taken them out of folders and put just on the drive main page to see if there is a change ( at s/o request) but there is no diff. Where do you store you mp3 files and how if I may ask? THANKS AGAIN for your time!!!!! This is so frustrating to me for an otherwise very pleasant phone!

THANKS! I shall DL that app right now. One more question...where are your music files located on your SD card? Are they in a folder? If so what do you have it labeled as? (dont know if that makes any difference). Or are the mp3 files just "ON" the cards "main menu" screen that comes up when you access the SD card, and not in a folder? Thanks again for your time and response!

Yeah, created a file on root of the SD called "Music"
GL, hope it works
Ohhhhhhhhh laaaaaaaaaawd
OHHHHHHHHH MY LAAAAAAAAAAWD HAVE MERCY ON ME !!! I couldn't, nay.......shouldn't just simply bow out of my thread with my tail b/t my legs--without an explanation. It was some sort of corrupted mp3 files! 3 of them. All from the same source. They played fine everywhere but the Amaze. I played others that were from a diff source and they will play through no problem. So I went back to the files and monitored as well as listen closely and there is a slight hiccup at the 10:26 time, which in effect would trigger something in the Amaze with 3 diff music players, to skip forward. But does not affect playing on a PC or CD.
It was fueled by the emotion I had towards these mixes and I HAD to have them and hear them!! I should have tried others more effectively.
Thank you two for your help, even though it was me at fault on this end.
On a positive note this has inspired me to go ahead and root my Amaze. This will be my first root. There are some awesome ROMS out there, now...I just have to pick one.
Thanks again for your time and response's, all is well with the Amaze.

Camera app can't save pictures on Ext Sd card.

Guys i 've been searching everywhere for this, but can't find a solution.
Ever since i instaled the Jb XXDLI1 and now the XXDLI2 i'm having problems with the external sd. The stock camera app can't record the photos on it. Mx player can't find any videos on the card too.
the weird thing is that if i go to the folder and click directly on the file it opens normaly.
Other camera apps work perfectly.
Another problem is while transfering files with the usb cable. it is so slow that would take hours to transfer a movie.
Anyone knows any solution for this ?

First thing...what is your rom? Is it a custom rom? XXDLI2 is a leaked jb firmware..thus different bugs can be observd.
Everything is working fine on dli2.. So it is not a bug in the rom.. You might need to do a clean install to get rid of these problems.. Also have you checked the option to store photos on memory card under settings in the camera app
Sent from someone in the Milky Way
The problem happens in the stock and custom roms. I tried both. I am using now the omega rom.
The weird is that if i go back to older leaks all is fine.
The option to save on the sd card is checked. Once i try to take a photo a warning pops up saying the picture cant be saved on the sd card.
Only the stock camera app and mx video cant use the sd. All other apps can see it normaly.
What bothers me the most is the extremely slow transfer of files using the usb cable. If i take the sd and conect it to an adapter the transfer goes fine.

[Q] MP3 only works if under a minute?

Now I know there are dozens of other posts stating that MP3's are not working, and yes I have googled and (xda'd?) it. But none so far have fix my problem. So the other day, when I downloaded an MP3 onto my phone, it wouldn't play. It was all fine and dandy until I realized that none of my MP3's would play. So from there, I tried a variety of common methods to try to fix this mess. I tried clearing the cache, formatted my sd card, deleted and transferred my music onto the phone (by the way, the MP3's DO work, I popped the sd into my cousins phone and my computer and they worked fine.), and factory reset. But for some reason, my ringtones still worked. That's when I realized that only MP3's under a a minute would play while others would not. So my question is how come my phone will only play MP3 files under a minute and how can I fix this? Please and thank you and I apologize if I broke any rules (I think I broke any from the video I just watched )
I'm on 4.1.2 Padawan ROM if it's relevant.
[EDIT] Well this may sound strange but I think it was my battery because I just switched batteries and now everything is working fine (except for occasional screen flickering but that's the result of 3rd party batteries (-_-#))
Have you tried a factory reset? I use MP3 files all the time. Even stream them via BT in my car to the stereo. Plays the entire song with no issues.

My Guess is its the rom you're using. Try a different rom. Some roms do strange things. factory reset wont touch the rom, and if your problem is still there its your best shot.
It's definitely not the rom because I had the rom for a while and the mp3 function worked for a while. It's just after I downloaded an mp3 file it stopped working

do you have a backup to revert to from when you installed the rom?
Well it definitely is not the rom at this point because it managed to survive CM10, oddly enough my ringtones which are actually longer than a minute still play. Is my music corrupted for only my phone?

U can rule it out ifu want but if it were me id try flashing a diff rom and see what happens. It doesnt hurt to try. If the mp3s work in other phones its obviously a software issue with your phone whether its your music app or something else. Try downloading a diff app to play your music and see if that works.

Maybe I was a bit vague, when I said "it survived", I meant the glitches. BTW Late response, but I stream MP3's over bluetooth as well, an A2DP headset to be exact.
