Anyone having issues when copying files (pictures, songs,...) to the tablet in MTP mode. I can copy few files only with no problems but If i select many folders with many files, it stalled after 1 minute... i let it sit for 30 minutes, still stalled...
I had this issue a few days ago. I figured out that with Android the OS doesn't do a media scan frequently (almost never unless you reboot your phone/tablet). Because of this when you try to transfer files to it from your computer, it hiccups and freezes.
Install SDrescan and launch it. It will automatically rescan your SD card and Internal storage.
That should do the trick. Any issues let me know

Hi
I had some really strange issues with my SD card files and I was wondering if anyone could help.
Let's start with the start .
I'm running a GB ROM (OneDroid GB06) with Franco's kernel from 02 oct. Using a 16Gb class 6 SD card from A-Data. Partitions made with CWR version 3.1 (I think).
Anyway the problem is like this. I am using my phone as a voice recorder with AndRecorder Free from the Market. Usually record 10-15 minutes (up to 15MB) interviews and sometimes I record like 10 of them without downloading them to the PC. The problem I had was that after I recorded a few of them, when I connect the phone to PC with data cable, I can't see the recorded files in Explorer.
At first I had an issue when connecting the phone in USB storage mode it told me that I had some errors that had to be fixed. I could not see the files I needed in explorer and after dissconnecting from PC the files were gone from OI File Manager as well. I was however able to find them in the LOST.DIR.
I took the card out, put it in a card reader, backed up my files and did a full format and put all my files back. No more "need to fix" messages when connecting to PC, however I still cannot see the files that I record in Windows Explorer while connected in USB storage mode. In Oi File Manager I can see them, play them and even send to Dropbox via WiFi. Or if I take the card out and put it in a reader I am able to see them in Explorer as well.
Anyone has any idea about this? Kernel or ROM issue?
I used the same program (AndRecorder) before on 2.2 and I'm using it on another O1 running official 2.2.2 and never had a problem like this.

Few times the same problem happens to me I am using a sandisk 4gb SDHC card and i clicked some photos from the camera and those photos were visible in the gallery but when i connected to usb storage on computer, photos were not visible... I'm also using FRANCO.KERNEL for gingerbread 2oct but with stock ROM..
First - install Root Toolbox or Dual SD mount widget and try double-mounting the card when connected. If it fails try copying the parent folder to PC or try to list via typing (Should be on the sdcard directory you store the files) dir /a:h or dir /a:s in cmd (Should be your last hope, though).
Otherwise, try setting up a FTP Server and make sure the card is using a FAT32 file system.
Ianis, thanks for the solution, but I just want a way to make it work as it should, not to try and go back in DOS mode just to copy some freaking files.
Did you try:

Try fix permissions in CWM. If that is not helping, use Root Explorer an check file or folder permissions. Also try to swich between R/O and R/W modes.
Try to buy another phone and sd card!

Next time keep your mouth shut. At least this way the other people won't be aware of the disaster that lies within.
I have a 2.1 gig 720p MKV file (.h264) which I would like to play on my Touchpad running CM9 Alpha2. The Touchpad shows up in my OS (Win7), and I can copy different kinds of files to it.
But whenever I try to copy these 2gig files to it Windows Explorer crashes and has to restart. Anyone else have this issue? It happens with most of these 720p multi-gig files. Don't have an issue transferring them to my Galaxy S phone.
Hmm find a thread about this in general:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443228
I haven't tried to put on a file bigger than about 1.2 gigs onto my Touchpad. But I think it might have something to do with the fact that this is loaded as a media device rather than an actual USB device.
Try this: Reboot into CWM and mount the USB storage there, and see if you can copy it.
Second thing to try is reboot into WebOS and again try and copy it. If it works on either of them, you know it's because of the fact that it's listed as an MTP device rather than a USB device.
Thank you! It was because of the MTP thing. I booted into WebOS and mounted it as a regular USB device and that worked. Saved me a lot of time and headache.
Glad I could help.
If you'd rebooted into CWM and mounted it from Mounts and Storage => Mount USB Storage, it would've given you the same result, but without the 5 minute bootup time for WebOS. Just sayin'. =)
Anyone know how android.process.media (media indexer) on ICS normally detects changes to the sdcard and reindexes media?
I know that unmounting/remounting sdcard, or rebooting, forces a rescan, but otherwise it seems that it never detects additions/deletions (I have waited hours).
For example I can delete an image from /sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA, but the file remains in the gallery forever until I unmount/remount the sdcard. Same problem for adding an image to the folder...it wont show up in gallery until I remount sdcard or reboot.

when u do a change not through your device. for example, delete/push a file w/ adb or connecting to ure pc as usb mass storage... u're device wont recognize it.
that's the exact reason i put an almost transparent "reload media" switch pro widget on my home screen... so i can just hit it to reload the media real quick
This is development
So I guess flashing with CM 10.2 does not alter the built-in folder structure of the NT. I show two categories of "internal storage": about 11.6 GB of "available" space (some of which seems to be taken up by apps and cache) and a second category of a miserly 1 GB. [oh yeah, turns out the "8 GB NT" I got from ebay was actually a 16 GB model. Go figure]
Question: can I rename the "B&N downloads" folder and delete subfolders without messing anything up? If so, can I store files in there (videos, music, epubs, etc.). I'm guessing that the "My Files" folder is actually on the 1 GB partition. Is this correct? Can I likewise customize those folders?
And USB.... As far as I can tell, only MTP works with my Win 8.1 system--and not well. I cannot see any files, just "internal memory" (the 1 GB part). Dragging and dropping gives a "can't copy because the device has stopped" or similar, but the file does seem to transfer. You just can't see it on the computer. Using the "Send to" shell command gives a similar result. If I change the USB setting to "mass storage" and turn on USB debugging, I get the little system tray icon for a connected USB device on my PC, but the Nook is not listed there and nothing shows up in the explorer file directory.
So....is this as good as it gets for transferring via USB? I can always pop out the SD card (who thought up that compartment behind the half-ring ), put it in my PC, copy the files and then put the card back in the Nook and use File Manager to move things around. Ugh.
Is there a better way? Maybe the WiFi Transfer app (I use that on my Nook ST).
When that happens to me a reboot of the tablet usually fixes it. Alternately CM 11 / 4.4.2 ROMs usually eliminate that issue entirely.
Also, if you search the nook tablet forums, there is a way to repartition the device so you have 1Gb internal and the 11.6Gb for installing apps, files, etc. I did that to my nook tablet couple years ago and it's worked swimmingly.

nokia 6 with android 9
i have a problem after restarting the device where i assume the SD card has not yet mounted, and this causes the custom sound files (which are stored on the SD card) to be "not found" and replaced with default nokia sounds or no sound at all (it just points to a file that it thinks doesn't exist)
i figure if i can transfer these custom sounds over to the internal memory, i might be able to avoid this problem. however, i've run into a problem with that too. when i connect the device to the computer (corded or bluetooth) i can see the internal storage directory (and the subfolders ringtones/alarms/notifications) but when i place the sound files in these directories, they do not appear within the android menu after hitting "+" to add a custom sound/ringtone. none of the files will load, instead i just see a blank menu with no files in it. (but the files do continue to appear when exploring the directory from the computer)
so how does this work? lets say i wanted to put custom sounds on my android 9 without an sd card. how would i make that happen for this version of android?
thanks
