Poweramp playlists not restored via Titanium - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I've flashed a few roms, kernels; done factory resets, etc., and not until recently have I had this problem. Admittedly, I never had playlists in Poweramp either.
Anyhow, I flashed a new rom and restored everything, and had very few problems, as is usually the case.
This time, all of my Poweramp playlists didn't get restored. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I did put a moderate amount of time building them. I've attempted to restore both the Poweramp main app and the unlocker, in different orders a couple of times, and when I go to add a song to one of my playlists, it still reports that there are none.
Any ideas here? Thanks.

Anyone else have this problem?

Well, I can say that, when I was using PowerAmp, and restored it, playlists were gone. Never found a solution.
Then, I organised my music in folders, and used them as "playlists".

Backup some manila files.

Hi, I flash roms quite frequently and been using sashimi to lighten up the burden of re-installing my apps. The only thing left is how to backup my favorite contacts tab, registered stocks and the playlist of the music tab? If anyone knows how to do this please share, would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks.

Would also be interested in knowing how to save stock & music playlists.
I do know if you use sprite or spb backup and save PIM info it automatically saves the fav contacts. But to save stock and music favs you would need to do a full backup & restore which would defeat the purpose when changing roms
Whats your settings on Sashimi?
I only tried spb backup...but again, thats a total backup app
Anyone got any luck with these?
I haven't found the stock info yet, but the audio playlists are in

HD2 Sense Music Player not loading

Hi All,
I have had my HD2 for a couple of weeks now and am loving it but I am having trouble with the Sense music player. The problem has happened to me twice now and the only way I can resolve it is a hard reset which is a pain to be honest.
The problem I have is without any warning when I select the Music Player from the slide bar on the home menu the Music Player has stopped working and just shows the"Launching HTC Sense" screen and returns to the home page. The first time it happend it was after I copied across a load of MP3 files. I tried a soft reset which had no affect so I went for a hard reset and that fixed it. I copied over a smaller number of MP3 files a few days ago and it has been working fine until tonight. The same problem has returned. My music plays in media player fine without any issues.
Can anyone shed any light on what the cause of this might be and is there a way to resolve it without a hard reset?
Thanks in advance
Simon
First thing to say is transfer your music over using disk drive mode, not activesync. (or better still if you have a card reader on your pc, put the card in that way and drag n drop your music to it, then back in the phone and let it find it.)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The first time I did this was via activesync but was having some issues so reverted to using my card reader on my PC the second time and it all seemed ok until this evening where all I tried to do was try to play some of the MP3 files.
Simon
in that case sorry, no more ideas.never had a problem so never had to look into it.
best of luck.

Hi all.
I've been having the same problem for the last week - very infuriating. Just thought I'd add that I tried the above fix and it worked, sweet as a nut.
Fantastic, and a real relied not to have to do a hard reset. Thanks.
for that people like me- i couldn't find the solution here

[Q] I just rooted my phone and im looking for a few apps. can someone help?

i have all the usual apps for a rooted phone but im looking for a really good mp3 player. maybe something that syncs with some pc software. and is there anything to downloaded mp3's directly to your phone. i have music wizard but was wondering if there was something better like specifically for rooted phones or something that can search for full albums. thanks in advance guys.

look up winamp, or doubletwist (with airsync). Both of these apps sync with PC music apps (both of which are highly reputable). As for music apps specifically for root, I do not know of any, though, IMHO, nothing quite beats a well-termed google search for finding full albums. lol, hope this helps
Music Downloader Pro will let you search/DL songs. It's a free (unrooted) app. http://www.androidtapp.com/music-downloader-pro/
Titanium Backup and AdsFree are the only two "must have" rooted apps I use.

2 problems with android N

Hello guys, 2 days ago i finally got the android 7.0 update (three uk) and since then I've spotted some problems with the phone. I have this music player installed its called Musixmatch and one of the features is when your phone start playing music the music player identifies it and puts the lyrics on the screen. So since the update sometimes (mostly when I'm playing videos online or just doing random stuff) lyrics to song "Over The Horizon" by Samsung are popping on my screen ( the song is not actually playing, i can't hear it but the lyrics pops up on the screen which means it was played maybe?) I've attached two screenshoots of this situation.
The other problem is since the update sometimes when i want to watch some videos on youtube after few videos I'm getting this problem saying "there was a problem while playing playback id: (various numbers)" and then i can't play any video online (i haven't tried playing videos from my video library yet) but for example on Facebook when I click on the video it acts like a photo just the thumbnail opens and that's it, can't play it. can't play any video untill i restart the phone then its alright but again after few videos im starting to get this error.
My phone is not rooted and I've never rooted it. Its running on stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Just sounds like MusixMatch needs an update. Not exactly a problem with the phone, but the app.

I agree.
It can take a short while for the developer of an app to push out an update so that it does not clash with the updated firmware. I'd check in the PlsyStore under your Apps.
You may also be able to let the Developer know of the bugs your encountering after the firmware update.
That and I'd try clearing the Apps Cache , System Cache and as a last resort create a fresh backup and Factory Reset.
So today i noticed that its not only Facebook videos nor youtube videos. When its happening i can't even call anyone on Skype or Facebook it just won't let me do it.

Had the same problem when I was on LineageOS, didn't found a solution. It was really annoying so I went back to Touchwiz (superman ROM), and haven't had any problems since then.
I dont know what causes the problem, but perhaps a factory reset will solve it for you. :fingers-crossed:
Okay so I decided to go for the factory reset and it worked for a day or two but today the problem is back. Also I would like to mention that I think today was the first time I've used device maintenance to clean ram and Clean master to turn off apps that eat battery after that the problem came back.

You shouldn't even be using Clean Master at all.

Why not
Some people's opinions that such software can cause more harm than good.
Personally I prefer not to use cleaning programmes or battery software either.
The inbuilt options do what I need.

One is it steals your infor and sells it in China.
Second, using it to force stop apps in background causes the phone to active loop and basically use up more battery.
The very presence of Clean Master in the phone is all harm and no good.

Don't use clean master, it's bloat garbage. plus you have that built right into the os. If you MUST use 3rd party once of those, use one that's lighter and less spammy and bloatwarish

I quick looked cm is 16mb, with a whole bunch of bloat and ads and useless features, ahh it's such an awful app. It was bad enough, but then cheetah bought it and it really got bad, same thing happened with the gallery app Quickpic.
Anyway, if it was me, I would absolutely not dl a third party app. The built in stuff does more than a good enough job. But if you must have one, CCleaner 4mb, simple, works, it's light, if there are ads, don't think they are overly intrusive, if there even are any ads. There's a few others that might be OK that are 4mb or under. Look thru the list. But dude, just use the built in option, it does a surprisingly good job.

Can't access photos outside of Gallery and Files apps

I have a strange problem that began sometime in the past 3 days.
I went to post a picture to Instagram and noticed no photos were present under "Gallery". Even after taking a photo within the Instagram app, the new photo didn't show up under "Gallery" in the Instagram app.
I started digging and found out that this problem started within the past 3 days. I could identify this time frame because Google Photos uploaded a photo taken on my phone 3 days ago. Pictures since then have not been found by the Google Photos app. I have already reset the cache and data of the Media Storage system app - it rebuilt the Gallery app's index, but still the problem persists. I've also reinstalled affected apps.
Google Photos sees pictures in other folders outside of "DCIM\Camera", such as downloads and Music. So the issue seems to be related somehow to the DCIM\Camera folder in particular.
List of symptoms:
Cannot access photos from Instagram app, but I can share from Gallery app to Instagram app
Message+ crashes when trying to add media to a text
Cannot access photos in Camera folder from Google Photos
Gallery and Files apps seem to access files normally
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using a Verizon V20, stock OS.
Started having the same issue with my v20. Found a solution yet?
No, I'm sorry. I ended up just backing up my pictures to my computer and factory resetting my phone... I need it working correctly for work.

Yup - so far so good. I have all my apps reinstalled and accounts added...no issues. I really have no idea what happened, but definitely sounds like a V20 issue. Do you have the Verizon version too?
Oh! I just realized that I just installed the new security update the other day. I'm pretty sure it lines up with the problem starting. I bet that's the cause.

Also have a verizon version and just installed the new security update also. Looks like I'll have to look more into my security settings. If I cant find a solution I'll have to just do a factory reset.

I bet the update borked the file system - not sure if there is a setting to fix it. That's a pretty big problem if it happens to everyone though.
Any other suggestion for this? I literally tried everything and I do not want to factory reset my phone. Its very frustrating!
I did the Factory Reset hoping it would be the 'fix'.
It worked for the rest of the day, then failed. I also have other Apps freezing or crashing.
After a lot of effort in a search for the solution, I slowly adopted the repetitive sentence that the phone is nearing the end-of-lifecycle and not enough time was spent making sure the update would work fluidly with all aspects of the phone. I *****ed and moaned for hours and got a nice discount to upgrade to the V40. Two days with the V40 and all is well in my world again.
