Force Media Scan Details
This app forces the Android Media Scanner to run.I do this whenever I see duplicates in the music list, or when I manually add and media to the device over USB.
It works with the newer phones including 4.0 ICS/Ice Cream Sandwich and 4.1 JB/Jelly bean, and now 4.2.
To test the media scanner or to clean out the media cache:
Go to settings.
Click All Applications tab.
Click Media Storage.
Click Clear Data.
Click OK.
Now run Force Media Scanner and click the Scan button.
It will take a long time the first time you do this, as it has to read and process each video, and music file on the device.
Afterwards, runs will be much faster, and it's just updating the media store.
It's new, so if you have any issues, please email me.

Kinda surprising there's not a way to force this activity natively, but oh well! One improvement would be to give some sort of indicator when it's running in the background, cos if you change to another program, you can't tell it's still running. Suspect that's why some say it didn't work - it was probably still getting the info, so they didn't see the change, and no way to tell it wasn't done. Just a hunch.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Christiaan Venter:</span> Works! Recently its stared becoming a problem of pictures or video and music not showing up in the player or browsers. And the app is so stupidly small you'd be silly NOT to install it! Thanks for making it!<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Aidan Hamill:</span> Just what I neeeded Does exactly what it says on the tin. So tired of Gallery and WhatsApp not being able to see pictures I've just downloaded with Chrome. Still a pain in the face having to launch another application before moving from Chrome to WhatsApp but that's a fault of Android.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Tyron Meintjes:</span> The one that worked! I had absolutly no media for a week and then I used this app and all was back... Thanks keep up the good work!<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Alexander Rodriguez:</span> Great app Every time I updated my music on my phone. Most of the songs would disapear, really annoying. I would have to rename the music folder then change it back to get the stupic scanner to rescan everything again. I love this app and my phone again.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Matt Ward:</span> Stopped working with Android 4.4 It used to work fine but since I upgraded to Android 4.4 it now crashes and fails to rescan media. Perhaps the Android mediascanner service has changed in KitKat?<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Justin Gaughan:</span> So slow This app did update my music library so yes it works, but when the developer says first scan will take a long time he is not joking. Over 24hrs later and it's still scanning! Downloaded another media scanner, which updated my library, and the scan took seconds. Would love to keep this, but it's too slow, and I haven't got the patience.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Sare Barky:</span> Does the job nicely Works perfectly for me and ensured all the ringtones & notification tones I've added or modified become available for selection from the systems list again when personalising my phone. I prefer to keep the app running in the foreground so I can see the scan progress & completed message. Maybe allow those in the notification bar but other than that..... very happy. Thanks.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Tomas Fjetland:</span> Works as advertised For some reason my phone stopped indexing media files after the last time I had to reset it. Subsequent resets didn't help. This app got it kickstarted.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Trishten Tan:</span> Awesome I've tried other apps but they didn't work as well as this one<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Stephen S:</span> No difference before or after No change to music player after. Never said anything bad about an app but this doesn't work. For people with problems with music not showing use ID3Fixer. Solved all my problems. Just fix your music with UTF-8 (Unicode) and your done.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Peter Sanchez:</span> Force deleter Failed failure<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Shawn Michael:</span> Worked like a charm Awesome!<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Anan Alosh:</span> Only app that worked for me<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Robert Required Field:</span> Works well Scans media and seems to work ok.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Davy Wentzler:</span> Crashed immediately<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Salman CK:</span> Nthng happened<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Atul Mallick:</span> Purely awesome Does what it says<br /><br /><span style="color:red">huzaifaahmed shah:</span> Nyc Nyc<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Niko Fauzi:</span> Thanks so much! Nice app, my all picture at gallery not hide again... thanks for solving. :D<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Crimson Reign:</span> Takes Ages This app does work, and they do say it'll take a while on first scan; however, it's taken hours to run each time. I may as well reboot the device. I downloaded this app to avoid rebooting but it's quicker if you do.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Michael Zock:</span> Just crashes As soon as yyou press the button it'll just crash on KitKat 4.4.2 (experienced with a rooted international Galaxy S5 with applied SDFix).<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Star Brilliant:</span> Not working I cleared the data from Media Storage. This app says "nothing to scan". Nothing appeared in gallery. My phone is Android 5.1.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Hariom Pandey:</span> Hariom Pandey My music ,gallery & so not work (I downloaded this app<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Eric Duff:</span> Not working After installing, it just crashes every time.<br /><br /><span style="color:red">Chinmay Jade:</span> did not work for me!
