Gallery and Play Music doesn't display my sd vcard files - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Till Yesterday My SD card is detected by Gallery and Play music and From Today Onwards Gallery doesnt show anything that are in my sd card and shows the photos that are present in my Internal storage and google play music also doesnt show anything present in my sd card and when i play music from my sd card using ES file manager the music plays and photos are also showing..anyone knows how to solve the problem ??

if you have done these steps before plzz do them again
Power Off your Moto E
Remove the SD Card
Put it back again (ensure that its put correctly)
Switch your Moto E On
And... TADA!

Maybe a media scanner app would work just as well as rebooting. I don't own this phone but I have had the same thing happen on my HTC desire C so I downloaded an app called media scanner. All it does is rescans the sd card for music, videos photos etc then all my media showed back up.

Unable to Play Music Through Microsd?

Hey Guys ..
I am playing around with my G-Tablet and for some reason I am unable to access and play/stream the music that I put on my External MicroSD card.
The only way I could listen to them is if I copy them to the folder called "sdcard/music".
I am currently running VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1. I tried the regular music program as well as Winamp .. and neither let me play the music straight off the micro sd card.
PLEASE HELP!
thank you in advance!
Strange, I have a similar problem in that music copied from a Flash drive to the sdcard/music folder will not be recognized by the Music App.
GL wit a solution
Make sure you do a reboot with Vegan-Tab after loading music. It won't show up otherwise. Also, if you added the .nomedia file to protect the data, it seems to prevent the tablet from scanning the SD Card.
Ok .. Im confused .. This is what I did ..
1) Copied my music to "SDCARD/MUSIC" folder .. unit had no problem playing the music.
2) After it was still on the external sd card under "SDCARD2/MUSIC" I removed the music that was copied from original internal memory (see #1) folder and then rebooted and music player or winamp would not read my music!
Ok - so basically my unit doesn't recognize the music from the external sd card! please help !!!
HMMMM .. wait .. I just rebooted again and for some reason its working now !! I think my G-Tablet is Possessed .. No matter, Im returning it to Woot anyway because I have a pixel out .. They are sending my new one Wednesday .. Hopefully I don't have this issue with the new one!
Thanks for the help!
I found that if you unmount the SD and then re-mount it the music won't show up until the tablet is rebooted and then it shows up again. I'm also useing Vegan 5.1.1 and that's what I've found. I also noticed that after mounting the SD card that the settings for performing this change to unmount in progress AFTER I have selected mount the sd, very odd

check if there is a .noMedia file created in your root / sub folder/s where you have placed the music. System tends not to scan those folders where this file exists and hence skips them every time it scans for media.

I'm using same ROM and I can play without problems the music stored on the external SD card (32Gb). Check if the Media Scanner is getting the info of the music store there as the above user suggest. Also you can force it to rescan with a Market app or doing a copy/paste of any file in a file explorer inside the phone.
Also I have my music above the root of the SD card, don't know if that could also make the phone not to recognice it. In my case I have them in /sdcard/external_sd/Music/[Albums Names].

My S3 keeps deleting music from my SD Card?

My S3 is a 32 GB but only about 26 GB is available for use. My music library is aroun 24 GB now and I was running out of space so I bought this 64gb memory card from eBay to store my music on. Now when I tried to sync it using the program I usually use to sync my music (easy phone sync) the music would sync but for most of the files when I tried to play them it would say the format is unsupported but when I looked at the files in the android explorer they're mp3s. I formatted the SD Card on my phone and tried again. Same thing happened. So I took the card out, put it in my laptop and tried to just copy the music files over. So on my computer when all the files were on the card, it had about 38GB left. But when I put the card in my phone it would say "preparing SD card" for a minute or two. Then when it was done the space available on the SD Card was 55GB and a lot of my music was gone. So I did some searching and saw that formatting to FAT32 might help. So I did just that and used the easy sync phone app again to try to sync my music but the same problem occured with my player saying the format of some files was unsupported. When I was syncing to the internal storage this was never an issue. Now it usually stops reading other files after the memory card reaches 55GB left. So why can't I put all my music on this SD card, and why does the phone delete the files I placed there using my laptop's explorer when I put in the micro SD card? Please help.

[Q] Memory Storage

I purchased the P780 a few weeks ago. Although I'm happy with the phone there are a few glitches that I cannot seem to find a solution to.
1. Any images or audio files put on the external memory card are not shown in the super gallery photo viewer or google music player.
2. I have selected the external memory card as the default write disk. All the data (Whatsapp downloaded images, videos, etc, documents downloaded from the web browser) are stored on the memory card, but they cannot be seen on the photo viewers or music players etc. If I default the writing disk to the internal memory card, none of my apps installed on the external card are shown in the menu.
Is there any solution to this problem? If not, just tell me. I'll stop looking for the solution and get on with using it as is.
Thank you.
I never have problem with this, I am using 32 GB external micro SD and no problem. Are U talking about storage which has phone only or included SD card?
Add 2. It s normal when U change external to internal storage (or conversely) as default storage, that phone doesnt see the app which was instaled before changing storage, but when when draped as it was originally, it will return back.
U can try use another viewer for image or music from playstore, if U see all images or music, ... If U are using SD card, it must be formated fat32 (not NTFS) or ext2/3/....
And place when U download files U can set in the internet browser properties.
Which ROM on your lenovo are U using?
Thank you. I shall try re formatting it and also look for other viewers/players.
BEFORE RE-FORMATING DO BACKUP of all !
Of course.

SD Card problem. Please help me.

Hello XDA.
This is my first time to come here and register, i heared that XDA is the best android developers website so i came here to request your help.
Lately i bought Lenovo Vibe S1 that comes with 2 Nano-Sim slots but if i'm going to insert a SD Card then there are 1 Nano-Sim slot.
I have a 4GB SD Card. I inserted it to the phone. The problem here that when i copy/move files to the SD Card it doesn't show in the apps. Like, moving Photos from internal storage to SD Card it doesn't appear in gallery. Same as songs, when i move them from internal storage to SD Card they doesn't show up in 3rd music player apps. Unless i unmount the SD Card from the settings and remount it. But it is a pain to unmount and remount when i move anything to the SD Card.
So, any help to fix this?
PS: I don't want to root, flash or install ROMs to my device.
Thank you for taking your time by reading my thread.
I started a Thread before but it was in the wrong section.
Brother what Android OS has your phone? If it is higher than 5.0 backup your files on the Sd Card and then format your Card in your Phone. After that put the files back on the Sd card. This worked for me on Android 5.1.1.

It is 5.0. Anyways, i will try your method and inform you if it worked. Thank you.
I did the method. It worked in Gallery while moving the photos from Internal Storage to SD Card it appears in gallery. But in ****ing music app it doesn't appear.
Which music app are you using? There is sometimes an issue with apps that don't use the sd-card an option called ".nomedia" filter or something like that is checked. Try to find it in your app and uncheck it. I hope that will work.

I use MusiXMatch. And i check my music in Google Play Music to check that it is not MusiXMatch's problem but the same thing. My music aren't in .nomedia. When i unmount the SD Card and mount it again i see the songs.
