Problems

Hi,
Had my HD for just under a week now and I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with it at first. Quite slow in general and video playback wasn't great...decided to hard reset it and start from scratch...before I did anything I followed the performance increase tutorial on here and now I'm happy as larry with the HD - it's exactly what I hoped it would be even the keyboard is good on the screen in landscape mode.
However there is still one problem that I can't resolve or find a lot of information about...it's the music tab in the touch flo....yes I know there's a lot of posts about album art etc - but none seem to mention AudioManager_eng.exe crashing when you try to use it...other people have mentioned this on other forums but no-one seems to know what's going on...does anyone know what causes this...??
Thanks,
Dan

I saw that very early on when I started putting music on my HD.
By a process of elimination, I isolated it to a "rogue" music track, (or else my HD simply disapproves of Blondie ).
I suspect that although the music file in question played back fine on the PC, there was something about it that thoroughly confused audio manager to the point of crashing. I imagine that the meta tags are the most likely culprit, but never got round to conclusively proving that. When I removed the album in question and soft reset, the problems went away.
Note that you seem to need to soft reset the 'HD to make it rebuild the music indexes.

The most likely cause still remains an unsupported file. Wonder why though

Hey thanks for the replies!
Well I bit the bullet yesterday....got myself a few bottles of beer lined up and went through all the music I had one the HD. I firstly set my PC to show protected operating system files and begun checking everything. On my HD I am using the folder structure Storage Card --> My Documents --> My Music --> Album Name.
In all of the album folders I left only the mp3's and the album art image which i renamed to folder.jpg. I went back to the Music tab and the same crash occurred. So I turned off touch flow...deleted AudioManager_eng.vol then fired up touch flo again...this recreates the AudioManager_eng.vol but the crash still occurred.
I then removed all music and started to copy the albums on one by one...started with Foo Fighters and happy days it worked! So I continued on with the others until I got to Nirvana - Nevermind....anyway the tags on the mp3 for track number were 1 - 2 - 3 - 4/13 - 5/13 - 6/13...etc. Set all the tags to just the single track number and hey presto everything works fine...I can just dump music into the storage card following the same structure, hit the music tab and there it is ready to play!! I now officially love this device! lol Sorry for the long winded explanation! Thanks again for your replies!

[Q] How to root the sgs2

Dsiclaimer: Sorry for the wall of text.
Hello everyone, I just got my new SGS2! Since I'm upgrading from the Nexus One, a phone I never felt I needed to root as it was so good by default. I realize I have A LOT to learn from you guys!
I have a set of questions for the SGS2 and heard most can be solved by root
1. Can someone point me to a) a video for Morons ; b) a guide with pictures explaining step by step how to root the Smy SGS2 running:
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKF2-CL253204 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKF2
2. I've noticed the SGS2 has issues playing games designed for the nvidia tegra 2 chips. I heard CF3D can fix it. Where can I find it? Side install? Are people happy with it? Shall I better wait for developpers to update their games?
3. I already changed the standard launcher for Federico's LauncherPro. However, I find myself longing for the calendar, the frame & running applications widgets. Will Root give me any possibilities to use these again?
4. The standard music application is kinda ok but its bugs and limitations made me switch back to Playerpro. Will root provide me with the ability to have a proper screen lock widget (playerpro sucks in this aspect).
5. The gallery app always displays thumbnails of all my albums (darn it!) I heard of the .nomedia idea, as well as some apps. Can someone tell me which apps are the best for removing artists and albums thumbnails from the gallery while still displaying them within the music app? Alternatively, what is the best alternative to the standard android gallery (uh 3D.... yeah I dont care, gimme grid view)?
I would like to apologise if this needs to be contained in many different threads.
I will follow this thread closely as I am really looking forward to your answers. You don't have to answer everything, but if you could provide with at least some answers I will be sooooo grateful: I want to make the best possible use of this nice display
Cheers
JC
p.s. I know the answers to all my questions is not to rub a magnet back and forth over my computer's hard drive

You need to use root explorer (or another explorer with root access) and delete the existing Music2.apk and then put this one in it's place (you can also just overwrite it).
Experiencing fore close issues when trying to sort by songs and when trying to open a specific album to see the contents. Might have to ditch this with these issues.

Okey thank you.

I, too had constant FC's
Renamed old Music2.apk to Music2.apk.bak, dropped the other file in there, rebooted and it seemed to see all my music. I actually like the *old* way of looking at the thumbnails and scrolling up/down. The new one would only go sideways and not put nearly the same amount of info on the screen so took substantially longer to get to music...And no options to change what you see on screen.
The moment I tried to play anything, sort anything or actually try to use the app, FC's every time.
...the moral of the story is, don't just overwrite the old app! I went in, deleted the new on, renamed the old one and was re-up and running in about 10 minutes...
P.S. Looked up a few other people having issues and a few said they solved the FC issues by going into Settings/applications and flushing the data on the app Right After installation / reboot.
I may try again...after I hear word of others making the attempt and getting better success than I had.
Good luck out there!

My english not enough for fix this ) but thank you for help

Thanks

[Q] Can't Beam music files on S4?

I've been S beaming music files from the stock music player on my S3 for a while now and it was quite a reason for me to stick with touchwiz. Now after upgrading to the S4, I see that it isn't possible to s beam music. When the two phones (i tried S4 to S4) touch on the music file playing, the phones vibrate but nothing happens after that.
It's not a problem really, Wifi Direct can handle that, but it's handy to have S beam to send music. Any thoughts why Samsung might disable this? Or is it a glitch which will be fixed in the future?

There's a few threads on this already, but I think the general consensus is that it has to do with copyright problems. Putting a (Q)uestion in the Q & A section would probably get you better results in the future.

Back discussing the native music app for the A70

First apologies to anyone who can't benefit, as this is a pretty late observation, coming around 2 or 3 months after the app prompted for an update. Though there may be still those who can benefit from this info, and if so I can probably put the original apk in the cloud with little difficulties. So no further adoo, I say what I observed:
Man don't UPDATE the app. I did that a couple months ago and it's just too lucky that I had made backups. AFAIK they keep still toast popupping me to update it and AFAIK the update still breaks the random play function, if the music library contains more than 10000 songs. Just a heads up, I realize it's not exactly a timely post about this subject. There was a prompt to update in I think late October. I would have to check my Samsung Galaxy store feedback to know exactly what date it happened. But yeah you don't wanna update if you are just getting the phone now. At least back it up.
One thing I found lucky was that after rolling back to my saved music apk, the playlists were saved. Which was unique. VLC music player loses its playlists in a light breeze.
Here as I said is the original Factory Samsung Music app which works so well that I find it enough reason to like this phone despite the issues with the 5GHz hotspot not working (I discussed that a moment ago in the real life reviews section of the forums here under the heading for wi-fi as there is no heading for hotspots).. anyhow Here it is:
Samsung A70, non updated Music App (Original Factory)

I have noticed something which took me this long to notice about this damn app. The app itself is very wholesome, it is great that it can store all my artworks and metadata for 40 thousand songs in 300GB+, in only a few hundred MB of space in cache, after its initial lengthy scan, (VLC takes forever to load and 7 GB of phone disk space for its cached art and data).
HOWEVER, it has recently come to my attention that the app's random player, which states on track heading shuffle in a toast message, that it has loaded the first 10000 songs, is only playing the characters _-E in the list of songs. So anytime I have been using shuffle tracks it has been impossible to hear a song for instance such as 'Gloria' because it comes after the first 10000 tracks, alphabetically.
Sucks that an otherwise great functioning app is so friggin limited. Anyone here tried the updated version?
