Recently I've installed Lineage OS 14.1 on my G4 Play. Everything is good. But I'm facing problem after downloading media. Thing is after I download or save any picture, they are not being showed in the gallery app. But they are in the device storage. I can access them through file manager. And if I reboot phone, then they apper in app. Samething happens with music files also. They won't show up in music app and I've to go to music folder to access them.
Same problem with other custom ROMs(AOKP and RR) as well.
Yeah, I have the same problem in RR. Even when I download a file, takes a while until can view it on the file manager.
It's a bug in the media scanner, just wait for the next release and it should be fixed.

I'm running i9000dxjg4 - updated it thru kies. have never rooted the phone or installed any custom firmwares.
Please help - i actually find the gallery app very useful.

So i bought a new Galaxy S4 19505 and i like everything about this phone till i found a major problem. Any picture or video on the phone doesn't show up in the stock gallery, only the pictures or videos taken by the camera application would show up. I told myself that this isn't a big issue and i installed quickpic which is somehow better than the stock gallery and works perfectly. However today i discovered that my phone doesn't detect any ringtones installed or any alarm tones! the same goes for the notification sounds, the three lists are just empty!
I tried installing several media scan applications from the playstore, i understand that such applications manually trigger the Android Media Scanner to run so it would detect new media files but unfortunately all of those applications fail on startup.
Now i suppose that my media scanner file is corrupted, so is there anyway i could replace it?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have correctly diagnosed the problem (which I have no idea) then what you are describing is a corrupted system file.
As long as it's only a system file that is corrupted and not the storage card itself, you should be able to fix this by using Odin to reflash your stock firmware. This will wipe your phone clean and restore everything fresh. And I mean everything. So if you have photos or music on their you want to keep, put it on an external SD card or move it to a PC or something.
This will wipe out the corrupted system file and replace it with a good one.
You can also root the device and install custom software, which will basically do the same thing but give you a completely different operating system. (Well...somewhat different. It'll still be Android. Just a different flavor.)
If the internal storage is physically damaged, then there is nothing you can do.
I am facing one very annoying problem.
In Google chrome if you long press on one image it gives you the option to save image.
When you save it a white arrow appears in notification bar and the picture appear in Download folder in gallery.
Thats not the case entirely although in my case.
Whenever i download a picture the arrow appears but is grey and the gallery updates download folder after several minutes.
I Have tried everything regarding media storage app disable enable,clear cache ,flash twrp and wiped internal storage,factory reset, flashed 2 stock kdz ,flashed kitkat,etc.
The problem remains and i seriously need help from someone who faced this nightmare and fixed it. No temporary using media scanner app from market, but once and for all. This issue happens with Google Chrome. Ofcouse i reinstalled the app.
What i have seen is that if i factory reset the Google Chrome app and get the version 39 the problem dissapears and everything works.
Please someone who knows this Help.
I will appreciate it.
Hi guys, since a month I have problems with my camera-app. I'm using CM13 nightlies, just reflashed from yesterday with Open GApps Nano (to not overwrite Snap Camera for a try). With WhatsApp I can take photos without a problem but for holidys the quality is too bad . I also tried Camera MX without success. When I take a picture it shows the preview in Snap Camera without problem (the small icon bottom left). If I want to navigate to Gallery it just shows grey or sometimes even no file is created. I've searched a lot but nothing helped. I also tried to revert to last build where it worked but only got bootloops. I also completely wiped my phone and removed sd card, no success.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Bestregards
Tried it with nightly from today, no success. Also video recording force closes. No advice?
So after again a lot of reading, could my camera work again if i update baseband/modem/bootloader with latest from sammobile? Mine are really outdated from june 2015 (so lollipop version..)
If I update them I dont have to root etc, right?
best regards
So.. I tried OpenCamera again and set the save location to my download-filter (internal), this works. With my default Camera I can only save to internal, without choosing a dir so this doesnt work. Is there a possibility to fix the rights of DCIM so that the camera apps are allowed to write there?
[Edit:]
Seems like the permissions are the same from both folders. will try to delete the folder and let the app recreate it or possibly try sd-card as location..
I solved this now... I've installed latest CM13 nightly with camera fix https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/156891, made a full wipe (except my internal user data) and clean install. Unfortunately this did'nt solve my problem. I also installed latest bootloader and modem, no success, too.
I think the solution was to change permissions of dcim to 777 via recovery... that's why I couldn't delete pictures or take pictures but it worked with open camera on another file path...
