[Q] Music Index Issues - Epic 4G General

I've noticed that on stock EF02 and alos EF02Plus rom I'm having trouble with music indexing. It seems to not be able to properly tie albums to artists. Haven't had this issue on other roms that I've tried....Anyone know the reason for this? Is there a painless way to fix it?

No one else having this issue?

I think you need to clarify what do you actually mean by saying:

This happens to me from time to time with random electronics. I just think your sd card is confused. Its no biggie.

Also, manually inspecting the files on pc and then putting them back on the sdcard fixes it sometimes.
It might be the media scanner, even though its happened on my hero and whatnot

I mean a lot of my albums end up under unknown instead of under the artist. For instance ill have 5 albums by the same artist, but only three will get categorized under the artist. The other two will go to unknown. Its weird because I flash often, but it only seems to happen on the stock ef02 rom. Or Roms based on that.

Thanks you for clarifying. Well, you need to make sure that all songs are tagged properly.
I use Tag&Rename for this purpose.
What I find annoying is that if an album is a compilation of different artist and artist tag is filled with actual artist name vs something like Various artists then every player that I used treats it as separate album. I understand that it's probably the query grouping, but when I want to see everything sorted by album, why does not do just that, I do not want Album+Artist.

Camera failure

Recently, my camera is failing to save any image that is taken. I've tried every camera app I could find and several different roms including fission 2.4.3 and gummyjar 2.5
Can anyone help me with this? Any help is greatly appreciated
The problem started after I updated from fission 2.2.2 to 2.3.1. I posted the problem on their board and I got no response

Does your other media work like camcorder, music, etc?
The camcorder doesn't work. Most video playback works, but youtube doesn't. I don't use my phone for music, so I don't know about that.

99% sure you need to update your system. I hate to be a jerk, but this question is asked often. Therefore, I'm going to default to: search is your friend (Google or forum).

Have you messed with the DCIM folder on your SD card? Such as opened it and accidenctly sorted by date or size? I did that once and my cam wouldn't save a pic...let a lone even open the app. So I hooked my phone to computer and ascended the date from old to newest. meaning the newest pic was at the bottom of the folder. unhooked and rebooted phone and all was fine... just my two...

Gallery - Be careful.

Today, I opened gallery after a long time. It was full of all sorts of pictures! If you watch any kind of movie, gallery saves few pictures from that! I don't know how this happens, because there are no settings to avoid this.
So did you watch a p0rn clip and it shows up in Gallery? LoL
busted!

Add a blank file named .nomedia to any directory you don't want Gallery to index.
This can also speed the start-up process.

Ok It worked once I restarted my device,but is there a way to block audio form games like Gangstar and asphalt from being shown in your music app?
Is there a .noaudio file or something?
Just be glad you found it first, not your wife/girlfriend

.nomedia should work for the music

".noaudio" is a good idea, and we're looking forwarded for something ".nocontact" ".nosms" LOL

lmao!. if the wife/girlfriend *****es, tell her who cares
Could be worse - i started having screenshots of asphalt 5 as my camera prieview rather than the image. It still took pictures of whatever the camera was pointing at though

I believe that has something to do with exiting out of the game with home, or LCD Density changer, its one of them, used to happen to me as well,

last.fm skips

Any Froyo ROM - start playing music and then browse the web or do anything else that's moderately CPU intensive and see if the music jumps or skips. Please.
All I'm gonna say is that my other, supposedly less powerful, phone does not do this.
That's a known issue. It's a DK28 thing.

Any idea what causes it? I thought Samsung's choice of the filesystem did, converted to ext4... still doing it.

App problems with 2.2?

I updated today and since then none of my audio type apps work. Winamp crashes immediately as do two audiobook apps that I have. Any ideas?

Wtf! Double files!

I am rooted with synergy. For some reason, no matter which music player I use, it's showing double tracks. I have songs saved to my sd card, and the same ones at mnt/sd card. If I delete one our the other, it deletes both! Why is it doing this?!

Looks like there is a symlink. Do you have adb shell access or terminal application?
I have no idea what those are. Ha. I'm new to all this stuff. I don't have those.
