Hello all.
I am running Twisted v7 FINAL, and I am having issues with my external SD card. I have already tried the 4.4 fix, manually editing platform.xml, and even a full ODIN and reroot, but to no avail. This issue just started recently, and I am unable to add music files through MediaMonkey, or delete files through poweramp. Yet, the card obviously had write permissions of some sort, as I am able to store and delete photos from my camera on the sdcard without issue. This problem is very strange, as on occasion, I am able to sync a few songs, before getting an error in windows. And when I try and drag and drop the files manually in WinExplorer, I get a "the storage media has either stopped responding or has been removed" error. Any thoughts or suggestions? I know I can just use my MicroSD adapter and remove the chip from my phone every time, but it's really annoying and I don't always have it with me.

Am i doing something stupid, I cant get the mp3's I have on my SD card to be seen in the Albums/Artists etc in the stock music player app.
I can see no option to "add" them into it.
They exist on the external SD card.
Not had this issue before.. anyone got any ideas?
Try to copy the files to your pc - and then format thd sd-card when it is in the phone. Copy the files back on the sd-card.
I have a similar problem on my SGS, and this method was the solution.

My first issue with Galaxy S II. Will have to try this, my 15GB of music on external sd is not recognised
Still, anybody found out why this is happening in the first place? The only thing I remember doing that had anything to do with sdcard was installing Multi Mount SD-Card widget in hopes that it would give me quick access to mounting sdcard as mass storage. Didn't work though, uninstalled it and now music not recognised. I can see it in file manager no problem,it's just media store that is not finding anything on external sd card
Thanks for any tips.
I should have replied back.
Doing exactly the recommended worked a treat.
Now any new files i add to the SD card work fine. It's odd why it didnt work from day one though, but it works now!

I think the only plausible reason for this issue may be the file system that the ROM uses. After each time you change the ROM, try to make sure that you format the SD card to avoid problems like this in the future.
If it isn't about the file system, then I don't know, maybe the problem could be caused by the ROM itself, since it's "home-made", or some damaged components in the device. Anyway, I got this problem too and I have an original ROM, so I'll just try the formatting method.
same problem think it is different reason

I'm having a same issue here but noticed it involved more than this and it happened at a certain app install. Hope someone here will recognize something in this post and help me not have to re-install my entire stock ruu, starting over.
The stock music player quit finding the mp3's on ext_sd card. First noticed this, but the stock gallery will not find photos as well.
I used Twrp to do a factory reset and was installing files again (most of my favorite apk's are stored on ext_sd card) and had to start with ES File Manager. When I went to setup ES File Manager up it will also not log into my network! So, after a factory reset these three things are happening and all of this started after loading Sterickson's permission fixer. The one on the app store that has the badly drawn cd image as app icon. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go back to the stock rom install to fix what his permission fixer trashed?

Irritating to say the least.

Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.
If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.
I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?
If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27787690&postcount=3
No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.
Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).
Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
Can anybody help??
Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??
TIA
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.
The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.
I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.
The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.
Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.
It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .
Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .
jje
yes, tried 3 sdcards.
Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.
This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.

If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!

Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.
So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.
The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.

Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).
Have you tried changing kernels?

No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.
Edit:
I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.
I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.
It surely must be a software problem.

Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.
It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
Hey everyone,
Ever since I upgraded my phone to ICS, the memory card is not writeable and I cannot delete any files. For example, if I try uploading an album, it will show up under my player, but a few moments later it will give me an error saying that files are not found. I try deleting an mp3 track through my player or My Files and it acts like it's been deleted, but will show up again some time after.
I figured it was an incompatibility issue with the ICS OS, so I tried formatting the card through the phone and that didn't work. I tried formatting it via My Computer and even used a program called HDD Low Level Format Tool, but to no avail.
The drive is recognized by my phone and my PC and plays the music and video files on it without a problem, so I don't think it's corrupt, but it's basically useless if I can't add or remove files. I tried chatting with Samsung Support, but the guy was as useless as tits on a nun.
Any ideas?
Can you put another sd card in your phone and test it? I've had 5 out of 10 sd cards die.
Nah, I'm afraid not.
Hi
Something strange has just happened
My phone was connected to my PC. I was browsing on both internal and external SD cards and then it stopped detecting the device. I reset both phone and PC and now MOST of my files have dissipated! Music, Photos gone!
The strange thing is that the slimbean.zip and gapps.zip are still on the card along with
clockworkmod, data, lost.dir and whatsapp folders.
Is it possible to get my stuff back?

How long have you been on slimbean? Are you aware of the 4.2 /sdcard location change as per the link in my signature? Not saying this is teh answer, but if you have only just flashed 4.2, you should read it.

Have a look through LOST.dir see if anything is there. If the files truly are deleted, theres not really much you can do now. There are various android apps that claim they can recover files but you have to pay and I don't believe that any of them will actually work (may be wrong there though).
You cannot get anything back from an internal card on your computer either as there's no mass storage mode, so PC apps cannot scan it.
All I can do is recommend advice for the future.
Install FolderSync and sync important stuff to the cloud or better yet, a computer on your home network that is "always on".
nothing in that lost folder

Redmi Note 4
MIUI version: 9.0.5.0
Andriod version: 7.0 NRD90M
Recently purchased a new SD card 128gb.
Its recognised and picked up by the phone, i can transfer files to it via USB, however on then trying to play music it will glitch out and lag, replaying the same section of song over and over, it doesnt even play the song you choose but a different song completely.
I can't make new folders or edit the sd card from within the phone. I've tried this on file explorer and ES file explorer, neither work.
I've re-formatted the SD card through the phone and via a PC and yet the same problem persists.
When i go to Settings>Storage the SD card shows as reading and gives me the options of unmounting or erasing and formatting, both of which i've tried also.
I've tried multiple music platforms also with no success. Its almost as if the files are being corrupted when they are being played.
Please have some solution to this madness! The SD card works fine in the pc and files are not corrupted? only when it is in the phone is there a problem. Further more when i move the music from the SD card to the internal storage it plays fine without any lagging or glitches?
Many thanks
Arran :good:

Sadly, you cannot write stuff to thw sd card, that is make folder or copy using the phone, *without root* so that's the reason why you are not able to make folders. I guess with nougat you are restricted to some extent, but not so that you are unable to play music. Maybe thats just miui, i am gunna flash miui in some days and will let you know if that happens with me too.

That would be handy if you could tell me if you face the same problem? Do you think because you cannot write to this card putting music files on there via a pc would then stop the music being played? it doesn't make much sense!

Ok so here is the conclusion, but firstly there are somethings which i want you to know. So yesterday i downloaded the stable miui 9 build from the website and it was downloaded successfully, but when i tried to install it. Twrp said the file is corrupted. So today once again, i starter the download of the build, and to my bad luck, it said corrupted again. Nevermind i had the December build (7.12.67 developer weekly) so i installed it. And now as of sound, i had a music file on my sd card, and I played it with the default music app, and it played with no errors. Then i tried it with es file manager (no root provided) and there also it was good. Now after i was done testing with miui, i installed resurrection remix 5.8.5 and here also it works well, the music is played without any error. So i guess this seems to be a bug of the software , maybe? Btw i have a sandisk 8 gb regular sd card (no high speed or class 10). Maybe it's the huge size of sd card, because of which the music stutters, since the music app has to actually scan whole of the sd card for files. On a side note, i have ordered a pair of 64 gb otg pendrives, which are gonna come next week. So i will check if theres an error there, and will report.
