.nomedia not working - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got pics and videos in a folder with a .nomedia file, but all the files still show up in the gallery. I've cleared the cache and data from the manage apps.

I got the ones out finally, but in order to do that I cleared the data and now none of the videos have thumbnails.

Not so hot at searching eh? Well, besides restarting your phone, the first few results from searching were Rescan Media, SDrescan and Rescan SD Card!.
Create a new folder and then delete it in My Files
Sorry for my lazyness, i didnt imagine there was a app for that.
Thank you

Googleplay music

Hey anyone know the folder play music is kept? I got songs from play and can't find em, even on play music!

I am pretty sure you need to have the play music app and make sure your signed in correctly. you should also try deleting the app data and restarting the app over again to try to get it working. Hope this helps.

It's in the SD card app directory, and but the files contain no metadata nor filenames of use..... On purpose. Don't recall the exact folder either.

MP3's Not Showing Up in Music Player

I downloaded several mp3's onto my phone and they aren't showing up in the HTC Music app or the Google Music app. I can play them once I select them off the file manager though.
I'm not using a sd card by the way.
Any ideas?
forgot to mention that I'm in MeanRom v3.1

Try an app called rescan media or try a reboot.

they are located in the Music folder. Some songs work. However most don't.

I had the same problem with Play Music. It would recognize both local and cloud-stored songs for a bit, and then "forget" about the locally-stored files. Rescan/reboot didn't help. I haven't found a solution.
The HTC music app still sees my local files, though.
Try to clear the caches and data for those music apps... That will force them to rescan your media.

This works until you reset the phone. Don't know what else to do.

I cleared data from music and media storage then rebooted and it worked.

Gallery problems

When I go into my gallery it'll show one picture but when I click on the it it a different picture. I its only happening with the most recent pictures I've taken. I I did have duplicates of every picture but I unmounted and remounted my sd card and they disappeared... Any ideas what this could be or how to fix it?

Go to manage apps, click on all, find media storage and wipe data and reboot that will fix duplicates in gallery and music player.

Gallery Issue

Why do I have to keep clearing data in the gallery application to get all the pictures to show? After I do it all the folders show pictures, then if I open the gallery an hour later the pictures show in my folders but any folder with the facebook f on them show up empty,tried syncing on and off same result, tried diff apps they don't show those folders.. any ideas as to what's happening?

Do you have an app that clears the cache by chance?
Yeah I do..
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
thats the problem then most likely.
Yeah, i had this issue with TB/Gallery before. If it is history cleaner pro, get a new cache app. The PRO version doesn't allow for exclusions...
If that doesn't work, you could try quickpic from the app store. I prefer it to the stock gallery.
