There's nothing wrong with the SD card I'g using. It works fine on my estimator and on my v10. But for some reason on my v20 information technology is constantly scanning the sd card. Media files nevertheless prove upwardly merely I cannot open up them until the never ending browse ends. As well the music player also does not read the music on the card. I know this employ to be an issue with older Android phones but I didn't expect my v20 to have this effect.

It says:
"Scanning media files... endeavor again afterward browse is complete"

200gb Lg Make Micro SD. Using the stock file app . The pop up comes up on all types of media files.

I can nevertheless play files on es file explorer however apps such as blackness thespian and the stock music app do not recognize any media on the sd card unless I transfer it into the internal storage. I removed all .nomedia files from the card and the card works perfectly fine when plugged in to whatsoever other device.

200gb Lg Brand Micro SD. Using the stock file app . The pop upward comes upwards on all types of media files.

I can still play files on es file explorer withal apps such as black player and the stock music app do not recognize any media on the sd menu unless I transfer it into the internal storage. I removed all .nomedia files from the card and the bill of fare works perfectly fine when plugged in to any other device.

Depending on how much media you take (hopefully less than available internal infinite) transfer everything to internal memory using es file explorer (or Root explorer - my preference) (avoid the Android folder - simply fill-in any app data you have cause if whatsoever apps save their data to the sd bill of fare, it will be lost in this method along with any apps you installed to the sd card *but redownload them from play store*).

Then format SD card using phone.

Then transfer everything back to the SD card

FYI doing this changes the modified date of any photos/videos so the phone will retrieve they're new. Only drawback of doing this. I had an issue with my Samsung 256gb card and that was the only way I could get information technology to fix.

I had to backup my files with my 200GB Sandisk to my laptop, format card for hahas, then retransfer back manually. Did my 90+GB of flacs while watching a flick and the other xl+GB overnight while sleeping.

I transferred stuff onto my 200gb SanDisk card that I had been using in my tablet. The files all showed in file Explorer but wouldn't show in gallery or music players.

In that location was a lost.dir folder on the SD card (along with others from the tablet) the folder seemed empty (didn't check for hidden files) I deleted the lost.dir folder and the telephone can now see everything. (pictures all in gallery now as well every bit mp3s showing in music players)

Worked for me... Non sure if information technology will apply to your situation but I figured I'd share...

Same result but unlike scenario

Hi All,

I am experiencing a similar issue with a specific app (only so far) - 9gag.

Whenever I download an image from their feed with the defended 'salve' button, it will save information technology onto my internal storage (can't modify the location of that via app), but it won't show in my gallery.

When I endeavor to open up the imaeg in the file explorer information technology says 'scanning media files... try again after scan is completed' - withal, no matter how long I wait, I can't open it and it never becomes visible in the gallery.

I tried following things so far:

- reboot: it works, every time I reboot, all files are scanned and in the gallery, still, if I save farther images, the new ones won't show up until I reboot over again
- stop media scanning service and clear data: no upshot
- rename folder: no issue
- rename file: this works, it shows up in gallery
- copy/move onto sd card: this works too, information technology shows upwards in gallery

As you can encounter, there ARE ways I can make the pics visible, merely none of them is a sustainable way. I can't reboot or rename later on each epitome I save, that's pure madness.

Whatsoever ideas what else I can effort?

Oh and btw, all other apps practise work, for example if I save files from screenshots, downloads, Line or WeChat, the phone does create a binder in the aforementioned way it does for 9gag and it is visible in the gallery with no problems, and then information technology might be app specific? I as well reached out to 9gag already but i don't call back they volition answer...
