Everytime I try to start my camera, it won't open and "media scanner running" starts. I can clear data in Media Storage and it corrects the error until I reboot my tab and it starts all over again.
I have tried everything I can think of including switching to every available ROM. The only "permanent" fix I've found is flashing the 3.1 OTA rom.
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and found a solution.

Multiple times...just found what I think has fixed the issue. Seems I had a corrupted multimedia file of some sort. I just deleted all media (pics, movies, music) and started from scratch and has worked thru 3 reboots.

My Video Player won't open since yesterday when I updated to v3.2 and it immediately closes and then runs the media scanner. I wonder if this is the same issue??

After a few hours the tab rebooted itself and since then video player has been working, no idea what it fixed, but it fixed itself.

the media scanner can crash if it stumbles on a file with issues (corrupted, wrong file ending etc.)
first thing to try is to delete (backup) all the media files and see if works without them as Alleycat wrote.
teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5 has a good guide at the bottom of that page for restocking. Also there seem to be a lot of problems around weird filenames, last week Kies would not even detect my Tablet until I deleted a bunch of files with strange characters.
I too had the same problem running task's slim 13. Does anyone think that this might be an android virus of some kind?
Edit: I also noticed a process called "root" running superuser permission. My screen would just flash "root has been granted superuser permission" but i would not open any kind of app. Also, when checking superuser I could see root had been granted access several times. Not sure if this is related.
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears the system just needed to scan for media and my sdcard was pretty full so it took a while.
I get that sometimes, to solve it clear cache of Video Player
Thanks
I will try this, I am still having issues with video player for v3.2

Hi,
I finally gave up on this problem and stollped the media scan from running at all - I have not noticed the difference except that the camera and video player now work. I used Rescan Media Root from the Market.
Sinnce I use QuickPic to manage media, I doubt I will suffer from the Media Scanner not operating.
Also using Slim 13.1 and the native Video Player. This issue did not occur with Dice Player, but I like the way the native player handles 5.1 sound
same problem. I am coming from AOKP. Can this be an issue when comming from an ICS ROM as the camera doesn't work there. I did a full wipe/dalvik wipe/cache wipe, why would this still be lingering? Still hasn't fixed itself and I tried the clearing cache under settings > apps. Any other ideas?
I had this when my storage was maxed out, what's the status of your free space?
Same happened to me after switching from ics to hc. The only solution is downloading Rescan media root from market and disabling the media scanner
if you are still in HC 3.2, the easiest way to fix this problem is going to task manager and kill the programs in the ram manager. worked.

This happens on a lot of phones.
What you need to do in order to fix this is, after you put new media into your sdcard (whether it's music, video, images, etc), go into the Dev Tools app and click on Media Scanner.
This will scan the sdcard for new media and add it in to the Gallery and Music apps for immediate use. Otherwise it usually takes a reboot or something.
Cheers,

Hi - what is this dev tools app... ?
I find if I copy something from one picture folder to another they both show up; annoying though. I also had a problem with 'missing' pictures, but changing my SD card fixed that.
The Dev Tools app is available on CM ROMs only I think. You can also use different apps on the market to do the same thing (Rescan Media, SDrescan, ScanMedia, Tasker, etc.).
I've found that switching to a different gallery app has helped as well (had the same picture showing up multiple times problem that was mentioned). I've been using QuickPic for a while and have been happy with it so far, but there are a few out there you can try.
Yes, the Dev Tools app is available in CM ROMS, my bad - I assumed it was in all.
However, seeing as it's included in there, you can open up the CM update.zip and find the apk inside there.
But, there are also other media scanners out on the Market. They do the same job.
Cool. I tried clicking media scan for dev tools, but it doesn't even scan. I'm running the CM7 RC1 btw. I click media scan, and it says finished scanning /mnt/sdcard 1 second later... and my gallery is still glitchy as hell...
EDIT: I had 4 pictures in the gallery from the Zedge folder, and after I scanned it, my gallery became empty. Is this a known bug for CM7 RC1? Because if it is, and they still call it RC, it's terrible.
EDIT 2: I tried 4 media scanners and they both don't work. Do you have a particular media scanner in mind to recommend? They ALL finish scanning in less than a second. I tried rescan media, rescan media root, SDrescan...

It must be the RC then. I haven't experienced that on the stable 6.1.1 version...
Since last week whenever I try to play a youtube video either through the internet or the youtube app on my phone I get a message saying
Cannot play video
Sorry this video cannot be played.
Anyone have any ideas how I can solve it?
Almost all youtube videos would play on the phone before.
Hi.
Ive had the same problem. Try on wifi. If it works that mean your network operator has some issues (o2 ireland has some technical probs with all data plans for last 5 weeks for example)

I had the same thing a few weeks ago after playing with my hosts file and some other system files (trying to install swype beta)..but I also couldn't play mp3s or most other audio file formats (which seemed to have a flow on effect to not letting youtube work).
I gave up trying to fault find (logcat wasn't giving much away) and factory reset didn't fix, so restored an earlier full backup in clockwork.

I am having a similar problem..only slightly complicated. Not only doesn't youtube work, even my video files can't be viewed. Ringer doesn't work either. However a reboot temporarily solves this problem before it strikes back again. Been doing this for more than the last 10 days..

Yep. Twitter app is the culprit. Quite a few of the latest reviews for it mention the problem.
Don't know if Twitter is aware of the issue but hopefully it'll get fixed.

I also had the issue with not being able to play videos (or mp3s). I have flashed the 2.3.4 JVP rom and the problem has not reoccured even with the twitter app.
I noticed that when I use heavy amount of apps, my browser simply wont work. I use the task manager to kill apps but no go. It just loads a white screen and must do a full restart. I like this tablet with full hdmi but might return it. Anyone else have this issue or fixes? Couldnt find it on search.

Yes, this is a common issue and it is due to incompatabilities between the apps and HC 3.2.1. The mount point was changed for the SDcard. the apps that try to cache to the SDcard are having issues. The browser is one of them. A lot of people are using Dolphin HD. They going into the settings and telling not to cache to the SDcard. It does not eliminate the problem, but seems to make it managable. It will take a change in the apps to fix the issue. Dolphin has a beta out that address this issue.
Thank you!
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Please note that the Dolphin beta does not address the problem. Periodic wiping of the cache is still required to prevent the browser from locking up.
According to the support email I got from Dolphin, the beta 7.2.1 has this issue corrected. And so far as I can tell, it has solved the problem.

Dolphin HD appears to have been fixed for the thrive, so far no lockups. The developers jumped on it and fixed our issue fast.

Stock rom, stock everything, not rooted or any kernals. Don't know a thing about hacking Android devices (soon to change!)
Stock video player doesn't work? It worked flawlessly before, now it goes from a white screen to black screen to homescreen with a message "Unfortunately, Video has stopped."
I have disabled some stuff in the App Manager but nothing that seems to be linked to the stock video player? Anyone else with the same problem?
In system settings, apps find the player and clear it's cache.

Cleared in both the app (1.47mb file) and video player (100kb file?). Still acting the same :crying:, thank you for the suggestion!
I can still access my media files by going thru the files menu, but that gets annoying after a while :cyclops:

If this started after you disabled stuff then you disabled something related. It is not uncommon, especially if you are not sure.
Reenable apps or do a reset.

Anyone else experiencing video stutter while trying to stream inside a browser? I've tried chrome, chrome beta, Firefox, and built in browser. Its especially worst for HD video.
It'll also happen in YouTube app on 1080p videos although to a less noticeable degree.
Netflix and play movies seem to perform normal.
Thinking there needs to be some software optimization done in a future patch to address this.
Can anyone else replicate this issue inside a browser ?

Had this issue after rooting my device. I went into both my installed browsers and cleared all cookies, cache and history. Once completed, I did a reset on my device and voila, it's all working fine now. Sometimes I notice a bit of lag but this is when I'm connected via WiFi and I have about 10 other devices connected hence some lag.

No, I bought the phone from a local carrier in Canada called WIND Mobile. They do not support LTE data but a slower 4G speed. I had to ROOT and install a custom Telus ROM then change the regional carrier settings to recognize the Telus ROM. I have not had any issue though and whether a stock ROM or not, I think it's more to do with the application (browser) and how it renders the video playback.
Hope this helps!
