I don't know why or how but all my ringtones/music files don't show up in media library or sound picker anymore.
This was after re formatting my SD card in order to create an EXT and a swap partition.
Since then I deleted all partitions and re formatted my card just the way it was originally.I also tried clearing data of Music app and Media storage app.I also rebooted countless times and my last resort was re flashing kernel and Rom.
Still nothing to my surprise (!).
What's going on?
Please help me cos I think I be tried everything...

Brov try move tha MP3 files to Media/audio.. if there is no such folder, create & move dem there den reboot!!! Lets see if it will work.
I think something is seriously f*cked up big time software wise.The phone can't play its own ogg files such as alarm sounds.Also it reports no audio files at in internal memory (!).
All these even after Factory Reset in phone and CWM,restoring a perfectly working ROM and even flashing again MESA kernel 1.4.
Nothing seems to fix the problem.
What's next? I m at a loss here.

Try flash GB .62 & lets see buddy........
Can you see your mp3 files with an app like ES Files?
If you can, can you launch your files with this app? Have you tried another app to launch mp3?
For the ogg, when you said "Can't read his own ogg" you mean when you choose the ringtone or smthing like that you have an error message?
Your sdcard has to be in FAT format, else it won't work.

Dude format your memory card with phone itself and then try for music files

Well,I fixed it.
A combination of messed up permissions and corrupt files.

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.

This is happening to me on my Nexus 4, no solution found yet
Same problem
I'm currently having this problem and used the SD Maid app and it says the exact same thing. Did anyone ever find a solution?
Only thing that worked was formatting the internal memory. A restore won't do it, must be a fill format. Feels great to have the space back.
that's because of the previous firmware's data saved on your phones. just perform a full emmc(only internal memory) wipe.

No it didn't. If you deleted eveything on your internal sdcard you did not do what I said in my thread
Can you provide me the link to it? I failed to find your solution in your signature....

Hey guys
So for a while now I've been having problems with my internal SD card being overly full and I can't figure out why. Here's a pic of it:

I have CWM installed and I know that takes a lot...but it seems as though it just seems to get more and more full even if I don't do anything. I'm using Camera JB+ to store pictures to my SD card, and all my music is also on my SD card, as well as my CWM backups.
Any ideas? I have tried clearing cache/dalvik after updating CM10.1 but it doesn't change much...
Thanks,
Elliott
What's that misc. over there? 9 GB of crap?
Looks like a bug, nothing in the cm thread?
Sent from the little guy
I have no idea what it is...I've used the "DiskUsage" app but it's majorly confusing...
Install a storage app that can show folder sizes like Folder Size Chart or Storage Analyser etc. Then you can find out what is taking up space.
if you are on cm10.1 nightly then remove viber & lucky patcher if installed.
you might flashed 20130121 nightly... this may help you
see this & this
if this didnt help you go to CM10.1 forum and search there. u will definitely find solution

Go into system/log and delete everything. I got back over 1.3 GB on the 2 GB SD partition.
Thanks but I don't have a system/log folder It's really full now to the point where it won't let me take pictures anymore...have been using 3rd party camera to save to external_sd...but I like the original camera.
I'm running mean bean 3.09. My phone says all of its storage is full and I can't figure it out. I hardly have any music or media files. I click on the "make more storage option" but don't see any solutions. Actually that makes it much more confusing. Does meanbean see file systems differently? Anyway to find out what is clogging up the phone? Maybe files are redundant in multiple places?

Are you using ota updater? Have you deleted all your downloaded ROM's? Have you used a file explorer to look thru your folders? Something is taking up space.

I have deleted the ota downloads and using file explore I don't see anything over a few mb in size. All the DCIM storage is on my external card.

Were you on any AOSP ROM's before? Have you done a wipe on your internal storage at all recently? Have you been doing dirty flashes? Have you been flashing a lot? Doing any restores?

I've only had that problem after flashing many AOSP ROM's and going back and forth from sense to AOSP. Just backup your files onto your external, wipe internal, move back, and then you should be fine. If not then you'll just have to do a clean install and wipe internal before flashing again. I did that with a restore with no issues.

Almost identical storage situation
Running the same MeanBean version, no AOSP ROMs, deleted OTAs, etc. When looking with Disk Usage type apps I'm still not finding what is taking up all the space. (I have plenty free on the external card.) Need to find what it is categorizing as "Other". Now I'm wondering about old email..
So I have searched and searched through my phone and I can't find what is taking up all my space. I"m on Nos M7 3.05, android 4.2.2. It created the sd card 0 which is fine but it's like there is some hidden files that are taking up so much space. I was on a older version of nos and did a back up. Flashed this and now I can't find my back up. Can anyone help me?

Well I looked there before, and yes it has my old stuff but nothing in there was taking up that much space. So it was data/media/emulated I deleted media which only had the emulated file there. It broke the rom i was on, but I fixed it with a adb sidload. So now it says I have ten gigs, I guess must have had an hidden back up in there or something.Still missing 5 gigs? I mean at least 3 taken up by the os right?
did you try to erase old backups in the clockworkmod folder?

What you deleted was a symlink to your /0 folder, so you basically deleted your sdcard as 4.2+ sees it, your 4.1 stuff may still be in /data/media. Not all file explorers show it correctly, solid does and I think maybe es might in root mode, otherwise a lot get confused by the symlinking and show your /0 not data/media.
If you don't have solid, there's a trial doe it, give it a try, or other root explorers, and see if you can see inside /data/media.

Hey guys. I've found most of my phones memory is taken up, but I can't work out what is filling it all up! Sure there's system requirements, and apps and cache. But after that there is 7.51gb for miscellaneous storage and I've only about 1.5gb free, yet when I click on it and see the list the totals only add up to about 2.5gb used. This about equals what I got using es file Explorer to add up the totals.
I have no idea what else is using up my memory. Does anyone else have a clue what to look at? I really don't wanna do a full system and SD card wipe and start again. Thanks for any advice

Did u just flashed a 4.2 or above rom from 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd been swapping roms for while, usually with a wipe data but not necessarily with a format of the sd card. Have been on justarchi's NA7 stock for about a month straight now, feels like I'm in FA (flashers anonymous )
Maybe I'm in a situation where I just need to wipe the buggery out of it, flash the rom I want again (been thinking of changing) and see what happens.
I'm not tech wizard, but it seems strange that I can't find what is taking up 5gb of space! There's no music or photo's on it, my Ti Backup is 1.57gb and then my rom file is 810mb. After that that biggest thing on there is 40mb.
