About Scan Media

THIS APP DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID VERSION 4.4 KIT-KAT (NOV 2013) AND NEWER - DO NOT INSTALL. Sorry but I simply do not have time to maintain it.

-

Have you ever copied music or other media onto your phone only to find that you cannot play it? Scan Media runs the MediaScanner Service so that new media will be known to Android’s MediaStore - where apps can then find and play it.

Scan Media launches a scan of "external storage" - typically your sdcard.

Useless. If u dun have time 2 maintain it, disable installs for users with Android 4.4+ or remove from GP completely

It claims to have done something, but nothing about my phone changed in any way, shape or form. The only positive was the freed up space after uninstalling this seemingly useless waste of space.

I was having trouble with files downloaded via torrent on my Transformer not showing up in Windows. This worked like a charm.

by S####:

Custom roms dont have a very thorough media scanner, especially right after changing files but they weren't visible in other places. This app fixes that issue and allows my media to refresh in a few seconds

Very good app but latest versions does't work on my phone anymore.

Although the application is perfect. But I think there should be a feature to trigger it automatically after a set duration. If this can be added, it will be more perfect. And if possible use a new icon!!
