[Help]No files in the gallery and walkman - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I installed yesterday this rom (version 5.2) on my Live with Walkman with stock kernel. It's very cool, but I have some problems with it.
1. Sync with gmail account is incomplete. Everything except the mail in sync. I have notification: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." And that in the notification bar still pops up: "Permission Requested for account <my login>@gmail.com." When I click the notification will automatically disappear, and after some time it appears. - This problem already solved.
2. The Walkman application and galleries do not display any files, even though I have plenty of them on the memory card. But when I make screenshot or takes a picture are those already shown. I do not know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for your help .

Try Factory Reset-ing from CWM or Settings... (Had the same problem and solved)
can u view ur files anywhere else? like in PC or with a File Manager???

That normal...just reboot several time and it will be just fine...

you may also try downloading ScanMedia from the PlayStore. It worked for me a few times.

I can view and open images and music in Solid Explorer or Computer. Only in Gallery and Walkman nothing shows .

go to Google Play Store and download Rescan Media ROOT...its free and it will help you rescan all media files on you phone....

Rescan Media Root and ScanMedia didn't help .

reboot after each time you rescan the media....if the problem still persist then reflash will be your last option...

As our friend said : Rebooting will work.... :good:
If did'nt : Reflash

Factory reset helped. Thank you very much :>

I had the same problem and as you say the only way was a factory reset. However I chose instead to use a different ROM. In most cases GB seems to be less buggy.

As your phone is just 6days old, I think you are using stock rom. the first step to solve the problem is factory reset your phone and post results.
PS: Remember to backup ur contacts/messages and anything else, coz factory reset will bring back the phone to default.

Just Switch off your phone. Remove your Card. Switch on the phone without inserting Card. In switch on condition insert your card. See something is happening or not. It seem you are using froyo 2.2.2 and it has this bug.
If you are using same card which is given by LG and have not wiped it the it must contain PC suite and driver for your mobile. Just uninstall everything from your PC. restart it. Install PC suite without connecting mobile. After installation plug your mobile it should connect with PC suite. If any pop up asking you to map the drivers then go through that wizard. Now your suite must connect your phone.

[SOLVED]Gallery not opening " Not enough space. Delete unnecessary ....

Hey guys,
i need help our here. i am facing a rather odd problem which started yesterday. whenever i tried to open gallery, it says "
Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as download softwares, videos and documents."
I have factory reset the device 3 times deleted everything, flashed using ODIN but no avail. Any body has any solution for this?
I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error

I recently updated OTA to 4.1.2 and have suddenly got this same problem today, im not technically that great so all i did was save the files i wanted to keep and did a factory reset but nothing has changed. I can open my pictures in Smart Gallery Lock Free but im also having the problem that nothing deteles properly, everything i delete re-appears when i re enter Smart Gallery
I have tried removing the files directly from "My Files" but it will only work on the extSdCard not sdcard0 its says deleted but doesnt go anywhere.
I have looked at your point 2. but i dont know what i can delete without making things worse
Hope somebody can help

[Q] I need to reset mediaserver database

Hi all,
I added some music files to my external Sd card, unfortunately a couple of folders were incorrectly named... I renamed them but now both the stock player and Google Play continues to show the incorrect, old folder names as the album names, which is pretty annoying.
I am on a rooted device, I already tried to delete Google Play's database but on the next reboot it was rebuilt identical to before.
There is any manner to have mediaserver's database rebuilt from scratch? I already tryed to stop it then start it again... Nil. Have I to delete the database to have it completely rebuilt? Lol, I can't even locate it on the filesystem. Despite this I can't think any other solution to solve but I'm open to any suggestions, tia.

Try to delete the data and cache of the Stock player and Google Music and afterwards if you start those Apps it should be as if you would start them the first time, so they would check your folders for music again.

Don't think it works that way... Whose apps don't scans folders, they take all infos about media from the mediaservice server. I tried what you said with Music Player and it didn't work, I didn't even try with Google Music 'cos that app has 250Mb+ of data (!) so I suppose that' s all of my music
What puzzles me is that I found a database with the index of all my music on extSdCard, it is under /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db (you can view the contents with root explorer), I deleted it after a backup, reboot and... Nothing, the database was recreated exactly identical to before. It was not the right database evidently... Again.
What the hell, that mediaservice's database is well hidden!
Someone can help, please?
You can try the Rescan Media ROOT App but if that won't work I have no idea.

Update (if someone else need it)
Android Media Tracker has issues on Samsung phones when it encounter a broken mp3 file. Solved using the app MP3Dit, which is not only an ID3Tag editor but it is capable to connect directly to the service and adjust things there also.
Five months to solve this s**t!

He is using stock sony album I think. Just a feedback. When i clean my ram via the app and i press clean, it just returns to the home screen of the app. Using 1Tap Boost to clean is fine though. Xperia P JB Moonbreaker 3.5
EDIT: This happened after updating your app.

It generally asks to clear the media data when you uninstall an app .. You might've cleared it and that must have been the reason why your stuff is gone !!

Connect to PC via USB and check if you can find any, read any of them by copying them to local machine.. Just to check if your images are corrupted !!
If you can view them in local machine ... Then problem may be with mediascannerservice not functioning correctly... !!
I'm sure factory data reset shall set all the services back to normal and shall solve the above problem but backup before is recommended.
Just try these checks once

Clearing data doesnt really delete any of your data mate so you can try that !!
And if still the problem persists then its known that mediascanner some time does skip some files without reading them but i dont see the point of them not being read even in local machine and file manager.
But worth a shot try re media scanning the whole device using some external apps called "Scan media" from Google play
Or Try rebooting the device that should initiate the scan ..
