[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
I started having an issue with my phone where the pictures on my internal and external memory card are no longer being displayed in the gallery, but they are present on the memory cards. Quickpic and other apps display all of the pictures, but I want to use the stock app. I'm not new to this either. I've had the Galaxy SI, SII, and SIII since launch with no issues to date and flashed ROMs 100+ times.

Background:

I was running CM10 for a month and a half until a few days ago when my gallery and camera would crash repeatedly. They would open for a moment and then close, no error message, no force close, just exit without a message. I rebooted, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache, wiped data from both the regular menu and from recovery, and the issue would not go away.

I then flashed Jelly Bean DLI5 with a data wipe. It would show any new pictures I took in the gallery, but would not show my old pictures that I copied into the folder. It would also not see anything at all on the external memory card.

Flashed to ICS LG8 with a data wipe and an external card format, same issue. I then learned if I copied pictures over to the camera folder 12 at a time instead of 500+ at once, they would then show up. I did that for my camera, download, screenshots, etc. folder. After a while, my pictures disappeared again.

Flashed to CM10. Pictures wouldn't display still.

Flashed back to Jelly Bean DLI5 and used an app called "fish bowl photo" to manually choose which folders I want added to the gallery. All my pictures showed up, everything looked great. Hours later in the day, all of my external card pictures are gone once again.

For every picture I copy over it gives a message along the lines of "this device may not be able to read this file, copy anyway?".

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I have no clue how this issue has survived so many ROMs and so many full wipes.

The SDrescan app just freezes. Clearing cache+data from gallery and other such places does not work.

Also, the gallery closes randomly while I'm browsing through it. Could happen after 2 seconds or 2 minutes.

Thanks in advance.

i had this same problem on my phone for about 2 rom flashes.........i cant say i have a Fix, just what i did to fix after many many attempts to do the same things you are doing, wiping, clearing, flashing, ect......

Sooooo what i did was 2 things, i 1st created new folders to mirror the ones i already had and moved my pictures in bulk to each one of there new respective folders and DELETED the old ones that were not showing up. this worked for most of the pictures ( After a reboot they showed up )

the other thing i did was use the NEW gallery from the note 2 ( FLOW GALLERY ) and it seemed to pic up all my pics with no issue.

so i dont really know which one of these solved it.....as i got so fed up i was trying things all willy nilly and those are the last 2 things i did.

it does get frustrating though, so i hope you get it solved soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
Thanks for the quick response. I'm going to try those two things in order right now.

Did you create the new folders for the internal and external cards? Or just external?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
just try one folder and see if it works......i even went to the extent of using quick pic to create the folders within the app instead of root explorer prior to rebooting.

but i have flashed many roms since then and no longer have that issue with the "Flow Gallery"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
Unfortunately neither of those worked. I'll try the folder trick some more after work.

Another strange thing is that the gallery (even the flow gallery I just installed) will randomly close itself while looking at pictures. So that's the stock and Note II gallery doing that now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
Thats crazy.....i know you have wiped. but have you tried the superwipes. or dialing *2767*3855# ( Will Wipe NO MATTER WHAT AFTER YOU PRESS # ) then going into advaced in CWM and formatting system/cache/partition

i would do all of these, to make sure that there is not something lingering from earlier flashes. i do them anyway before ANY flash just to be safe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
I'll give it a go in a few hours when I'm home from work and let you know how it goes. Thanks for all of the ideas, I appreciate it.

Edit: On the way home I use Quickpic as mentioned. I changed a folder, rebooted, it was there. Did another, it worked. Did 5 or so individually and they all worked. I then did the last few without a reboot after each and now I only see a few folders on my external card and nothing from the internal. I was so close!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
Ok, I tried everything mentioned without any luck.

Tried 10 other things too.

I then removed the external SD card.Then wiped the phone via the dialer, wiped the phone from the setting menu, flashed LG8 via Odin, wiped it via recovery. Copied the files over that go on the internal memory. Everything works, gallery doesn't close by itself. Put in a new external SD card, formatted it, copied the files over and so far everything is OK. It could change at any moment though and I'm worried about changing ROMs now. I'll check back in if it screws up again soon, but hopefully it was just that one card.

Thanks again for the help.

Please do this test:

write in terminal emulator, not also (...):

(Write file 64MB (8k * 8192) bigger file is better)

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/out.img bs=8000 count=8192

(Read)

busybox dd of=/dev/null if=/data/out.img bs=8000

(to Remove out.img)

rm /data/out.img

If you don't have int2sd and let /data the phone writes in nand.

If you change / data in /sdcard or /sd-ext you can test your sd-card speed.

Report in this thread your results.

If the test is positive we can ask to our developer to try to include this NativeSD script in roms.

Is nobody else interested in this to at least see how it works? Or it makes no sense on our desires.

I'm just wondering if our nands are faster than class 6/10 SD cards.
[Desire General] handy5876:
I am guessing the ext4 file system since it buffers returns immediately to write request. Therefore the wrong result in my test.
[Desire General] paolo-red1:
yes, this script test reports false results, it is better to use the app: ANDROBENCH.

you can try both sdcard and internal. When I will have time to try new Nikez's release (or another non-int2sd rom) I will write my results.
[Desire General] gie62001:

hi, i need help, i want to unlock my BL but my phone has NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

how I can fix this and unlock my bl?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuriJ:
..Only way to unlock bl then is to unlock sim first. If it's already unlocked by other softwares than setool, it's not possible I think :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I think you should re-unlock your sim lock using setool which will make sim certificate proper for unlocking bootloader.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xjumbotx:
I was trying to use RegawMOD rooter for my EVO 4G LTE but it would not communicate well so I booted into recovery and it did the unlock with HTC but it never finished rooting and installing the recovery or busy box. Now the Rooter just says my device is not an EVO 4G LTE. What is the next step?

NM: I got it working. I just had to continue with the booting into fastboot mode manually at each step.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Its a small issue but its hurting a lot of new users, I think its better that new users unlock manually, it has the benefit of ensuring you have adb tools. Should something go wrong and recovery is unavailable, fastboot is your only option and you will need adb tools. Anyway I have tons of info posted in my Don't Panic thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
Hola,

I have recently noticed that each time I reboot my Note I717 the previously selected ringtone and notification sounds revert to the factory default. When I enter Settings -> Sounds I see the active selection reads "Unknown Ringtone." I go to the list of those ringtones/notifications available to check why and I find that the name of the downloaded ringtone/notification file has been replicated. Of the multiple files only the bottom-most on the list will actually play the file. Right now I have four entries for yy downloaded ringtone; three do nothing, but the last on the list selects the correct file. The same is true for the notification sound file.

Admittedly, this is not a big deal, but is annoying the hell out of me. Has anyone else encountered this situation? Is there an obvious solution of which I am unaware? Anyone care to venture a guess?

BTW, my Note is rooted, but is AT&T stock all the way, Version 4.0.4, BB UCLF6, Kernel 3.0.8.

Further info: I first loaded the ringtone/notification files on the SD Card, but recently moved the file to the internal memory. That change had no effect on the situation.

Regards,

Bubba

Something similar happens with mine. When swapping batteries out it exhibits this. If i just reboot using the toggle it doesn't happen. Also, it only happens with custom ringtones. If i use stock ringtones i have no problems.

I have tried what the post above mine suggests but problem returns as soon as i swap batteries again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
Thanks. This worked. Haven't tried swapping batteries yet.

I was saying it happens when i swap batteries. Not swapping batteries as a cure...:sly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RRodon:
That worked - at first. After the reboot, the default ringtone was listed as "ATT Play-on" and the notification was "sherbet". However, when I tried to change the ringtone to one I had created, it went back to being an unknown ringtone. The phone is the I777 and the OS is ICS, both from ATT. The ringtone is a 29 second MP3 file I created.

I did go back and try the reboot sequence again after the first attempt and it did clear it back to the default ringtone/notification, but as soon as I changed either, it was listed as unknown again. Is there a special format for ringtones?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fakir420:
I just flashed a kernel that includes the 'fast charge' function. When this is turned on and I receive and intent with action = 'ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED' the value of the intent extra 'EXTRA_PLUGGED' is always 1 when plugged in. If I turn off 'fast charge' I see the value set to 2 when plugged into computer, indicating USB instead of AC Power. Is this how fast charge works, just pretending to always be plugged into AC Power or would this be a bug in the kernel implementation of fast charge?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awicks:
I have managed to get myself into a pickle. Trying to revert back to stock today I flashed a stock ROM via Odin. This worked but put the phone in a boot loop, so I booted into recovery and tried a factory reset. However, this crashed. I can now boot into download mode, but not recovery. The phone now is stuck in a very slow boot loop, not getting past the SGS2 splash screen (the one which has the yellow triangle).

I have tried re-installing stock roms via Odin. Odin says success, but the phone still won't get past the spash screen and won't let me boot into recovery either.

I have spent hours today searching for guidance, and have tried everything I have found but am not having to admit defeat and ask for help.

I have tried flashing different versions of stock and different kernels without success. Any ideas on what else I can try?

Thanks in advance,

SUCCESS!! :)

I had corrupted the /data partition, so whenever anything tried to access any part of that partition the phone froze. To rectify it I used the pit files from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 and moved the data partition be enough to completely avoid the section that was corrupted. I then flashed the recovery ROM as instructed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and the phone is now booting.

I have now reinstalled CWM and CM9 so I am back up and running. The only downside of this process is that the internal memory pf my phone is now smaller due to the unused space left by shifting the data partition. If this causes me a problem down the line, I might re-partition using a pit file that doesn't shift the /data partition as much, and keep trying to see what the minimum shift is in order to avoid the corrupt part of the file system.

Thanks for all of your help,

I had a previous thread with other issues and now I am here. Previously, I had a rooted phone that I had accidently frozen ADW Launcher in Rom Toolbox and got a dark screen with Samsung letters. I have downloaded GS3 Toolkit. I tried different things in trying to reboot to startup screen, even trying to flash the custom rom option Odin gives you in the Toolkit. Having done all those things I dont know if it is rooted anymore. It was in debugged status when I started but do not know if it is there now. I am now down to the phone being in Odin mode with the green robot showing and the words" Downloading.... Do not turn off target!" showing underneath the Robot. It has been like that since last night.

In the upper left corner of the screen with small letter it lists it is under ODIN MODE.

Under Odin Mode it lists:

Current Binary: Samsung Official
