Yesterday I was playing a game while playing youtube with Play youtube background (xposed module) and suddenly the phone restarted by itself. After that all apps in SD disappear. When I installed again all the apps and tried to move it to the sd it says "Not enough storage available".
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

I've experienced this problem for very long time, that is, when I ran Gallery then switch to another application, soon Media process would force-close. Or after I booted the phone, in about few minutes, Media would force-close.
This problem became very annoying after I realized that when I watch a video in Gallery, Media forces close but video's still playing, if I close Media, then video stops playing and Gallery quits.
So I tried many ways.. clear data, re-installing other roms, formatting SD card, but all those ways didn't help.
Until yesterday, I formatted SD card again and discovered that Media no longer forces close. This time I didn't format it using Windows' format application, but instead, I used Android's format function.
So maybe this is the solution : to format SD card using Android's format function instead of using Windows'.
Update 11 Aug:
Sorry.. after two days no fc, today again I got FC, so that means formatting SD card by Android does some help but not much.
I used a wallpaper stored in SD card, now I use a system wallpaper and so far haven't got any more FCs, so hopefully this time it fixes.
Don’t know what will end up being useful info so here goes. I had 1000 songs on my 32 GB sd card and was able to use the built in music player and MusiXmatch to play. Then I updated the MP3’s with embedded cover art and lyrics. Things were still good. Then I installed MXvideo, podcast addict, instagram. Then I copied about 2GB of 12 video files and was playing those with MXvideo. I changed quite a few settings in MXvideo and podcast addict.
Now I went back to MusicXmatch and Music player and my 1000 songs are not shown. They are still there in My files and if I click on them they play with the music player from the sd card. If I try to play a previously created playlist or recently listened to it tells me can’t play that audio type. If I copy a file from the sd card to phone it will be added to the library and play. If I try to go to a folder on the sd card from with in a music app it doesn’t seems to recognize that there is an sd card.
Steps taken
Reboot
Remove SD card, reinsert, reboot
Cleared all default apps that I thought had anything to do with audio
Uninstalled all recent apps
Thought it was something try to take over the playing of .mp3’s but they play fine if on phone
Stumped!
.nomedia file
Ok so I noticed a .nomedia file on the root of the sd card. Evidently, this stops all apps from scanning this or sub folders.
So I deleted it BUT this doesn’t clear the problem. I unmounted SD card, cleared cache, reboot, etc. trying to get the apps to rescan.
What I had to do was unmount, pull card, reboot without card and then insert.
Still don't know what app put that file there.
Hope this helps someone else someday.
Hi everyone!
I hope there is a fix to this issue as it is very frustrating.
I have a Samsung S4 running Kit Kat. Recently I tried to add new music to my phone through Samsung Kies. After adding the music files, I tried to play them on my phone, but it would always say "Music Playback Error"
After looking around online for tips, I deleted all the songs off my SD card. I then cleared the Data and the cache for both Google Play Music and the Samsung Music Player. I added a few songs again just to see if it would work. This time, the songs play really fast, as if they are on fast forward.
I tried to delete these songs once again, but all the file names had been transformed into numbers and they all begin with a "µ" symbol, and every time I try to delete the files, it says "Delete failed"
I don't know if this is an SD card problem, or what it might be, but any help would be appreciated!
Would I have to root my phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try this:-
1. backup any important file on your sd card
2. format your sd card
3. copy your song through mass storage mode or mtp mode.don't use kies to send file to your phone
4. (optional) check your computer for virus
Hi,
my wife cleared cash and data of Media Storage. I reboot phones a couple of time, but ringtone list and notification sound list, is still empty since a couple of hour.
Why media scanner, do not scan my phone? Is there a way to force manually? i just trried a lot of software on Play Store, but all app will crash on startup.
Android is 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNF1. I have root.
Many Thanks for help.

If you use Google Play Music and you recently noticed that with the screen off the music would skip, slow down, and sound genuinely awful it is linked to using the External SD card as storage. It turns out Google had a bug in their program and have started working on a fix. Article below --
Link: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/07/07/the-google-play-music-app-has-been-wiping-downloaded-cached-music-stored-on-the-sd-card-google-is-fixing-it/
Key points:
- At the moment the app will delete your cache and downloaded songs upon reboot or after un-mounting and mounting SD card
- I don't know if moving it to intermal memory fixes the issue, but the article says it affects SD card users so it is a possible workaround.
