I've had HTC Advantage X7501 for about 3 weeks now, and have it setup the way I want. But I've now noticed that after soft-resetting, the Microdrive is renamed Microdrive2 and a blank Microdrive folder is created. Well, not completely blank - a blank message folder is created within the Microdrive folder.
I would delete the Microdrive folder, and then use MemMaid to clear the memory, soft-reset and that would take care of the issue. But it now seems that every time the Advantage is soft-reset, this Microdrive2 issue occurs and now even after cleaning with MemMaid it's still there after a soft-reset.
Has anyone found what's causing this, and is there a way to keep it from occuring?

Thanks for the link. I did do some searching but didn't come up with that thread, although I did see another thread indicating the Messaging Today plugin as the culprit. Sure enough, I had changed the Messaging storage to the Microdrive and that seems to be the issue with me as well.
There seems to be 2 work-arounds: Either store message attachments to main memory, or remove the Messaging plugin from the Today screen.
For some reason the workarounds didnt work for me. I lost microdrive2 the day I reflashed to WM6......

What do you mean "I lost microdrive2 the day I reflashed to WM6"? Are you saying you have a "Microdrive2" or not? You shouldn't have the Microdrive2, only the standard Microdrive.

Every time i start it, it crashes?
Mine did that at one time. Seemed like it was related to being plugged in to the PC. If you aren't plugged to your PC I don't have good advice, otherwise try disconnecting.
No, I wasn't. *sigh*
I tried going into apps and clearing cache and stuff - didn't help.
Mine too. It worked first day i had it...now it FC every time. Very frustrating too. I've even factory reset, force stop, clear cache, etc. Nothing!!

it happened to me twice, and I fixed it both by turning on airplane mode.
Hope that helps
I have had it happen to me also... the first time it was a bad ebook... ball i did was remove all my books and cleared the cache, then re-added the books one at a time... this time i have no clue what is doing it...

Awesome tip...was almost going bald pulling my hair out.
what a pita... thanks to this issue I wasted 2 hours tonight trying other readers, they all suck btw.
MyLibrary workaround
I found some information in another forum, where a member says he called ASUS - which told him it was a problem with the MyLibrary servers. Apparently, if there's an internet connection and the servers are down it crashes the app.
The workaround is to put it airplane mode. I did that and BAM - it will open fine.
Once MyLibrary is running in Airplane Mode, you can turn Airplane Mode off and the app will continue running. So you CAN read and get your emails. The servers are supposed to be fixed soon (within 24 hours of this post).
FYI, I had gone through - fix permissions ... and when that didn't work, cleared the data and cache for the app -- and when that didn't work, reflashed Prime!1.5 and THEN fixed permissions -- and was at my last step before doing a full reflash with a factory data reset before I found the workaround. Boy, I'm glad I didn't go that far
Same problem here. Just tried putting it in Airplane mode, and it didn't seem to help. It's really frustrating. I've scoured the File Manager and I simply don't know what's causing it to do this.
Edit: Wow, I actually found it from checking one more time. It was in a temporary folder in my Nook folder and it was a magazine. Crazy.
MyLibrary crashes on files it can not "understand"
After having several MyLibrary crashing problems I think its due to text files being discovered by the MyLibrary. During some kind of app installation a log.txt was created on the file system. Unfortunately MyLibrary scans the whole file system for books and text files. It chokes on a simple log.txt for example.
Sometimes it crashed not so fast and I was able to quickly open the standard epub Alice in Wonderland (actually MyLibrary re-creates it after you delete it from the file system), and it actually opened the e-book correctly. However it crashed when it encountered the log.txt.
Still Asus should really quickly fix this, because when people have gathered a large library of ebooks and book text files, then it will be hard to notice a "violating" file...
Anyhow, the deletion of the suspected text file really took away my problem. The first time I tried with factory reset, but it didn't work back then. So don't try to do the cumbersome factory reset!
By the way, with ES File Exporer I searched for the suspected file and deleted it.

So ultimately what's causing this is bad programming.

This essentially turned out to be my problem as well. But that is really pathetic. Other programs should be free to create the files they need without MyBuggyLibrary crashing on them - nobody asked it to scan them in the first place. grrr
Helpful tip though.
And what's most frustrating for me - is that I really like the way MyLibrary works. The 2-page layout in landscape mode is the most natural e-book reader I've held.
Mylibrary cash because of corrupted epub or when the name is too long or with unusual character. Copy all your books on a sd card and then delete them from the internal storage. Eject the sd card and then clear the cache of mylibrary and open again, it should work, then you can put your file one by on to see which one is causing the problem. Hope it helps, it works for me.

Or as I said when it looks at a file, which is not an ebook but the config file of another app.
Yes, I also try to eject SD card, clear the caches and reinsert SD card to solve the FC issues.

+1 This solved the problem for me.
Looked at the @vibe app under ASUS cloud, it kept giving an error that it could not connect to the server. After airplane mode if functioned again.

I'm one of the "lucky bastards" who cancelled BBY preorder, ordered from TD and got tablet 2 days ago. When I got the tablet, I installed few applications, 2 different launchers and put an SD card from an old Note 10.1 (500 books/documents, 2Gb music, 2Gb video files). Tablet was very slow, sometimes taking 2-3 seconds to open app drawer. When in S Note, I was often getting "unfortunately IndexService has stopped". I used a task manager, checked this service, it was using most of CPU all the time. I found a thread in Note 3 forum about this service using most of battery. This seems to be a service for new S Finder. On my tablet it was scanning files all the time. I may have a corrupted file or something that it doesn't like. I moved all files from SD, service stopped crashing, lag is gone. I have started moving files back one folder at a time, hoping to find out the bad file.
If you see lag on yours, see if you have this IndexService running all the time.
Have the exact same problem on my note 3 atm. What a pain in the ass to deal with.

I will keep that in mind as of right now I have not had the index service issue happen with mine. Where can I see if the index service is constantly running?

I'm using "SystemPanel App / Task Manager" from market, had bought it during 2.2 days, hadn't installed on any of my JB devices. I remembered about that, installed, turned on monitoring and kept an eye on top processes. I'm not saying this is the only reason for lag, but for me there was a big difference after I cleaned the SD card.
I had the same problem but I just removed my SD card let it index then when stabilized in inserted back works good so far secondly u should disable air command
try and see how it work it works very good with me after ur phone get stabilized re activate ur air command
For me the culprit was a corrupted pdf file. My Note3 was fine after I deleted that file.
Moreover I found that the indexservice process is taking more cpu and time when I have more number of pdf files i my memory card.
So, right now either you can put less number of pdf files on your device to avoid the lag or just wait till the indexing completes.
After the indexing completes, the device works as wonderfully as it was working before inserting my memory card.
Hope I helped...Cheer!!!
I also got same message.
Pls help me, I am layman as to xda forum, pls tell how get rid of this "Unfortunately, IndexService has stopped." I get this message every time I start my device.
As per recent post of this thread I understood that some corrupt files cause this problem, but how to find that particular file?
I have copy & pasted 12-14gb pdf,vdo,zip,doc,xls,ppt all my academic files into internal memory of 32gb.
Please help me out here.
Suggest some windows based software to scan corrupt files.

Use "trials and errors" method, remove your files, make sure search is running fine (which means it's not running all the time nor crashing), then start adding few files/folders at a time. Time consuming of course, but I don't know any other way of doing it. I don't know if this process creates a log file with scan information, that file would be useful.

Try
Going to settings
General
Storage
Clear cached files
If that doesnt work, assuming you are rooted clear cache and data files. TI, Rom Toolbox, others can do this. Or if you have custom recovery boot to recovery and clear in recovery.

I am using trials and errors way to detect faulty file by trying to delete few pdf files folders then restarting to check popping of "Unfortunately, IndexService has stopped" message, so after deleting few folder, that popping stop but I am not sure that problem is completely solved because battery consumption graph show that IndexService is still 2nd largest battery sucker after screen, so it must be running in background.
Sorry I'm still layment in terms of rooting & backup. But I did cleared all cache. Can you tell why I got this message- "Security policy restricts clearing off this app's cache" ? So not sure that it completely removed cache.

Im not sure unless knox is doing it. I had the same message so i cleared it in another program. I got 1.5gig back. Play has many programs that clear cache. Or you can use app section to clear chache on a app by app basis.
Good luck
Woody
When i got this message the anount of memory uaed by cache remained the same.

There is no way to scan for the corrupt file, as far as I know. You'll just have to remove all files, and add back a few at a time, until the problem returns. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483944

After removing some complex pdf of maths, "Unfortunately, IndexService has stopped." this message has stopped popping up, but battery drain & heat up is continuously building up. I have to keep it sleep or forced to keep it shut down.
for every ON 2 Mins= 1% battery discharge & 1 degree celsius rise in battery temperature.
What a weird problem is this! I got 20-50gb of academic pdfs which I was looking forward making it pdf library, not anymore due to this idiotic Index Service which scans each & every content of pdf to build its useless search index for every default Samsung app. & gets reset after every addition or deletion of file! Ridiculous Samsung. Pls issue update to make us able to disable/enable this service. Its extremely tedious to copy paste files by batch of 10-20 files with respect to my 50gb collection.
I seems I have no option than to do this cumbersome work.:crying:
I have attached few screen shot of my P601 scenario, please help guys, sure some one will come up with solution soon...:angel:

Yes, it is ridiculous. I've seen it many times. My problem was was also a corrupt pdf. I copied the contents of my sd card to my computer, and formatted the card. I then added the files a few folders, at at time, until I found the culprit.

I think those pdf with illegible font like those mathematical formulas & Indian Devanagari/Sanskrit script is consider corrupt by Index service, which cause it to crash & stop. In crashing scenarios is better than letting Index service run, because it causes heat up & battery drain by letting it run. Where as "Unfortunately, IndexService has stopped." cause it to stop completely then no heat up & battery drain.
So may be temporary solution is to crash Index service to stop it as we I don't think there any other way to stop it without getting rooting.
What you think guys...?

To the best of my knowledge, rooting is the only way to disable the service (without intentionally crashing it).

Look through the forums here for rooting instructions, then grab Titanium Backup and freeze index service, knox, sfinder and gallery. All your problems will go away!
