Hi guys!
there is a thing bugging me all along.
The music cache (Google music sync) and the Sync from "Picasa Web Albums" go always to to the SD.
I just have a 16GB phone and thought that this will be enough for the S3 because most of the stuff I can put on the ext. SD.
Since I have the Music and Picture Sync enabled the 16GB on the SD fill up like no body's business... and this is very annoying.
Is there a way, patch etc. to fix this? I am sure many more people have this issue.
Thanks,
-Mike
Yeah I have the same issue. Upto now, I have just kept the music on my phone low enough.
It would be nice to switch it to ext sd though

Hi, Im pretty new at the whole rooting thing but I believe I have most of the simple parts down. I am running the stock thunderbolt rom with S-off and rooted, also debloated. Everything has been running smoothly but when I flash new ROMs to test them out, I've noticed each time a new one is flashing the text when it is flashing displays how much space my SD card has left on it, this number has diminished drastically sense I flashed my first ROM. I was wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned, looking for a fix for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

When I started flashing, I backed up a lot, but sense then I've deleted all but the 3 I mainly use.

Download and install esfile explorer.
Run goto menu ,settings about 2/3 down the page check root explorer, I leave mount system unchecked until I need to write to it.
Go back to main page
Click menu then manager , then sd card analyst. It will scan sdcard and sort by size largest down.
Hope this helps.

That worked! Looks like HTC sync was making duplicate copies of my music each time I was syncing it. Deleted Music and installed doubletwist, problem solved!

So here is my small problem
I copied alot of music to my internal storage, into sdcard/music when i first got my S3. Worked perfectly.
I was using the stock Music player for a while then it got on my nerves and i installed PlayerPro which works great.
Now a months later i got some new music and i copied it to my internal sd.
The only thing:
The music is not showing up in stock player and playerpro ,however it can show in poweramp trial version which i got from playstore. I can play the files from my file manager but in the actual music app it wont show up.
I rebooted, reinstalled music apps,removed avast mobile security, cleared cache on all involved apps, deleted the music and copied again, and manual copy...
And it cant be the music itself because it works when picked directly in file manager
Tried placing the music in various location in my internal sd. It still wont work either.
Not any of you aware and have solution for this minor flaw?

Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gallery in epinter's CM10 rom. I've done some searching and it seems like other people's is working but everytime i open it up it shows no pictures. I've cleared its settings and cache but it still shows nothing. The only reason this bothers me is because it appears that Google+ won't instant upload pictures unless they show up in there. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the 8-11 release but it gave me the same issues in the release before that. Also, I'm using internal storage with no sd card if that matters.

Just download quickpic.
I've been using quickpic for several months now, but Google+ uses the gallery app (from what i can tell) to share pictures and detect new pictures for instant upload.

I'm having same issue. Also no music. Tried moving files to external and back, format both cards. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
MB860 Peace
I have this occasionally, but don't use G+ so it doesn't really bother me as quickpic always works. But to help with the question, I thought I read that when the Media Service is running, things like the Gallery, Maps, and a few other google apps (that use the service) might act like they're hanging, but it's because one of them is using the service. You could try force closing it, or let it finish on its own. Also, try clearing the cache on the media service/gallery/camera/maps. On occasion when the camera stops working on me if I kill the service it sometimes then starts working. This might not be the best option, but something to try.
im having the same problem... apollo dont recognize any music someone can help?
Well my camera has always been laggy on all 4.0+ roms even though some people say it works for them. Anyways, I tried clearing the data and reseting maps/gallery/camera but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the media service is actually just borked and I've been misinterpreting what other people have said.

Look for and delete a file named .nomedia from the base of which ever card you have these images or music on. I heard that this was something a ROM Manager update did.

I had the same issues with my pics and music. Looks like you've chosen reboot option from power off menu. For some reason after reboot pics and audio can't be recognized. Try to power off your atrix and trurn it on after few sec, this worked for me, hope will help you too.
Didn't work. Thanks anyway
MB860 Peace
Well I kinda figured out what's going on with the Gallery. It appears that a media scan won't show media already existing on the device. However, if you take a picture it will show the new pic in the gallery correctly. I've also verified that I have no .nomedia files.
I'm guessing that when a photo is taken it explicitly adds an entry to the media table, but there is a problem when a full scan is triggered which makes the gallery blank.

Your devise cannot play any media with stock media player while media scan is running ( small sd card sign at notification bar). Let it complete to play media files like music and videos. Once scan completed you can play any media.

It happens sometimes with my device too while playing with memories. So, reboot ur device and then try playing the media, if it still doesnt work run the script again :good: Well i have experienced it many times till now so worry not

I have this exact same problem. I don't mind playing my music/videos from a file manager, but this also disables my freaking CAMERA. Trying to open my camera/video recorder just gives the same "Try again after media scanning complete" error message, even though the media scanner is not running.
Do I need to create some more folders on the SD card? Probably just going to try formatting and trying again, but I am so sick of doing that with this phone. If LG didn't make it practically unusable by default, it wouldn't be necessary D:<
Well guys i switched my internal and external sd and my phone scans at boot. At this second im going to try and run stock media player and see if my music shows up.. brb
Update.. my stock media player is Sh*t now and just scans usb.. im guessing cuz i switched my memories? One thing i havent tried is putting my sd card music files onto my internal sd card music folder. The only reason im not pressed to fix the issue is because the media player i downloaded is better than stock player and soon JB will be out for p769 so ill have to switch internal/external memory again. I think then my stock player will play. Its weird tho my stock player should simply scan for music files on device and sd card. Idk whats so hard about that

Can you post the forum/thread where you got your information about swapping external with internal sd. I want to know because i might be able to help. I know of two threads, and i combined information from both and everything has been working fine.

I got mine working without a format. I was using RemountSD and a script running from SManager.
I had to go into RemountSD and change to the settings posted by arman4o in the "App data on external SD" L9 thread:
arman4o said:
Try RemountSD
ICS Settings:
Interne SD - /mnt/sdcard
External SD - /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Target external SD card - /mnt/sdcard
JB Settings:
Interne SD - /storage/Sdcard0
External SD - /sorage/Sdcard0/external_sd
Target external SD card - /storage/sdcard0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These settings in RemountSD took care of my media scanning issues (as soon as I rebooted the media scanner started up, when before it was freezing), and now I can use my camera again.
Unfortunately now my 32gb microSD card is no longer showing as my primary internal storage. In fact, it's not showing up at all. But at this point I already have all the large games installed to the microSD that I needed (and even though it doesn't show up under storage, the games still work), so I am just going to wait until a JB 769 ROM before I mess with all this crap again.
2 questions. Where are pinned songs located and do they get saved when u wipe and flash a new rom? If they don't is there a way to move them? To SD card or something

Needs root access:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/files. If you wipe + flash you will lose it.
I moved to SD card using Solid Explorer. First killed the music app to makes sure it wasn't running. Then backed up the files to my sd card and removed the directory under /data/data. Then I added a symlink of my SD card's location over in /data/data/com.google.android.music/files. Haven't tried flashing a new rom yet to see if they remain, but the files should stay there. I may need to look into backing up the databases or something as well to the SD card to make sure it remembers what songs it has downloaded. At least they are using sd card memory, which was my more pressing concern of how to do. Maybe move all of com.google.android.music over to external sd.
I'm not sure how symlinks work during a wipe of system for new install? So might want to remove the symlink before flashing new roms? Then recreate once flashed and installed google play music again.
So annoying that google doesn't allow switching that location to external. I want to be able to flash new roms and not have to re-download again. Also way larger storage available on my sd card.
Im gonna try that out yea i hate that u cant put them on sd card or atleast have a list of previously pinned music that i can easily just repin them all. I never know which ones i had

I have a playlist titled "Phone" that I use to synch or remove songs from my phone. Once the playlist is pinned, it just always stays up to date with what it contains. So I can add/remove tracks and albums from the computer and then refresh my phone and it does the same.
Are u serious??? Man that's exactly what I wanted. So it automatically downloads them to my phone if I pin them on PC???

You pin the playlist on the phone. Then modification to the playlist (done by computer or phone) will then trigger the playlist to also update on phone with those changes. If it doesn't start the update automatically you can also hit menu then refresh music on phone to trigger a check for changes.
