hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.

I've recently bought a brand new HTC HD2.
It was working just fine untill I transferred around 700+ music files(6Gigs worth of space) on the memory stick.
Ever since it has became really glitchy.
It freezes and sometimes just restarts itself.
6gb worth of music is nothing compared to what i have on my iPod.
Is this a known issue?
Is HTC HD2 not designed to load so much music on?
try removing music from the card and see if the problem stops, and always call your carrier and HTC to complain, f#3$s should be working hard on all these fixes
Well yeah, i removed the music... it works just fine.
This is so not... what i expected from HTC HD2.
Such an awesome phone, but ya what's the point of having
16 gigs of memory when your phone acts as its on down syndrome... when you have only about 6 gigs of music on it?
I have about 5GB of music no slowdowns whatsoever.... try reformating your microsd card, HR your phone, then load the music, then put it into the hd2... see how it goes..

if you have the t-mobile version then nothin is wrong with the phone...the memory card has a low class...a higher class memory card will work fine
there was a workaround mentioned a while ago that loads the music when the phone starts not when you open the music tab. I can't find it anymore but maybe that helps with your issue (btw I'm looking for that workaround too, can't find it anymore).
i beleive there is a fix something to do with sdcard power management basically your phone is scanning the sdcard and when u have lot sof files it can really mess with the phone but search the forums there should be a reg fix
HR your phone
@doctorcete: What does "HR your phone" mean?
Thanks
HR=Hard Reset

Hey,
My Vibrant CONSTANTLY keep rescanning the media on the SD, and its slowing the phone to a crawl. Ill watch it start, finish, and then start again 30 seconds later (or so). Anyone else have this, and if so, did you find a solution?
Thanks!
Sounds buggy...mine usually just does it if I reboot the phone
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
Actually my ONLY complaint about this phone not constantly but every time I reboot and it takes a good while scanning, if I try to press on any button while scanning the phone freezes, there has to be a tweak to disable this feature when vibrant roms become available..
Thats my issue too....it freezes, the screen goes off, the button backlight stays on, and I cant do anything but hard-reset it by holding the power or pulling the battery. ive deleted almost everything of the internal SD, so I have no idea why its freezing
I remove the external card and still experiencing the same thing, I just don't understand how my old HD2 with buggy winOS never did this, come on Developers Android is an awesome OS and extremely configurable, PLEASE fix this issue for us.
Mine does it on reboot and after I unplug it from my pc. It is a little annoying but it doesn't last too long.
It's scanning 16gb of memory for media changes. Why would you expect that to be faster than 20-30 seconds. Are you guys serious?

If it's doing it constantly and not just on reboot than that is definitely a defect.

The media scanner runs for me, at least, every time the userspace filesystem is modified, so on unplug from PC, file copy/deletes in the file manager, bluetooth unpair...etc. If you have an app that is frequently writing to /sdcard then that's probably triggering it for you.
Did you replace your SD card with one from another phone? I don't get any major scanning issues
Just exchanged the phone for a new one. Will report back.
No, I am using the stock SD card (Not ready to lose Avatar yet)

I know you can copy avatar to the internal memory and it will still work... but the link on the app won't find it, you'll have to go to files, ect. I'm pretty sure you can copy it to another SD card without any trouble. As far as the media scanner, it is pretty annoying...scanned alot when I first got the phone ..of course moving around avatar, it took a long time to rescan and it scanned several times. Now it seems to scan evertime I move or delete a file ...sometimes it scanns more than once but its usually pretty fast. It would be cool to change the settings to rescan only when you specify or something.
i have just over 7 gig of music on my sd card, scan after reboot lasts less than a min.
<edit> it is a class 6 card, so that might help with the speed etc...
I was messing around in /system and looked at one of the .conf files. There's a line in there for media with a value of "on". I'm sure if you edit it to "off" it'll stop scanning but who know what the negative effects would be.
Ya, I never had this media scanning on my G1, on any build. Wonder if it has something to do with the Internal SD and some sort of database it maintains of it. No idea why it wouldn't be simple flash memory though, exactly like an SD card
It's because of the Music player and such.
I'd still say try a reset. I just did and things (besides the GPS which is not going to be fixed by this) like the market and such aren't giving me such long loading screens. I was installing 3-5 apps at a time. Even the Friends feed widget doesn't have the looooooong loading screen anymore.

I have this same problem. Typically it will kick into the media scanning mode when opening Google Maps. The phone becomes unusable for several minutes. The screen will shut off and then comes back on close to a minute after hitting the power button. Sometimes it will display "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner.
yeah, I have an 8 gig card which is basically full and the media scanning I only notice on boot ups. And this takes very little time (20 seconds maybe).
I'm curious if you have a corrupt file or app that is causing the issue man?
Have you moved avatar to your computer, stuck the SD card in your PC and formatted it? I wonder if you put it back in your phone and rebooted if you would still have this issue?
Worse case you just move the folder with avatar back to the card, nothing lost.
Do you mind trying a format?
Someone should try the "Autostarts" app. I would try it, but it requires a rooted phone, and mines not rooted yet. This app may be able to prevent the media scanning...
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-autostarts
Thanks for the tips. I have wiped, exchanged phones, wiping the internal and external SD, and attempted to prevent the scan using autostarts (although I didnt find anything specific), all w/o luck. Ive removed ALL my music from my internal SD, only pictures are left.
It seems to scan every few minutes or so, and it almost always causes a restart of the Touchwiz process (w/ a reload of all the widgets) and lags the phone a lot (so much that it doesnt respond to button touches for a minute or so)
Im about ready to dig in and disable this scan unless we can find a legitimate fix or purpose for it.
I have a stock T-Mobile Tab. I have a 16gb memory card installed in it, with quite a bit of music on the card. Whenever I play an mp3, it works fine....for the first song. It seems that about halfway through the second or third song, my tab always freezes. It doesn't seem to matter if the music file is on the sd card or my 16gb's of internal storage, it still freezes. I even placed an mp3 that plays through fine the first time on repeat to make sure it wasn't just bad files. The mp3 that worked on first play freezes upon being repeated.
Is this just me with this problem? Any ideas what it could be?
My tab doesn't freeze, but it does stutter/skip after a few songs have been played. I think there are two possible solutions. First, try a different music player from the market. I think skipping/stuttering is a known issue of the stock player. Also, maybe the quality of the SD card could be the problem. I bought the cheapest card. So use someone elses card to test that out.
Let us know how it works out.
My uk tab o2 has this issue to every time I start a track in music app built in the phone it shuts down. Also happens with stock email client.then opens on second try.
This is my second tab with o2 and the last had same issues.....

Check the notification area if the media scanning is running, it is the sd card icon. If you have thousands of mp3 as in my case, scanning uses up the cpu slowing down the tab considerably.
If you want to cancel the scanning, you need to root your device. You can download z4root to safely do it. Then download Rescan Media Root. This program enables you to disable scan.
Note though you need to really run the media scanning for newly added media files so those can be accessed by the stock media player. You do this at night before sleeping. Mine takes about five hours to complete.

Does Mediaserver show up as a battery hog for anyone else? It seems to kick off at the start of the day after I've taken it off charge and chews up a load of battery. It appears to settle down as the day goes on but enabling CPU overlay in developer options shows it's always running. Is this normal or do i have some sort of wakelock?
Mine only shows up if I am listening to music, maybe playing video too but unsure of the latter. Definitely not without me doing something that invokes media.
I would not be surprised to find it invoked from Web content too, but don't know if it is or not.
Pull out your SD card. There might be one or several files on your SD card that are damaged, and that will cause media_server to "loop" and never finish scanning. So pull out your SD card, go a day without putting it back in and see if that solves the problem. If yes, format your SD card and try to find the damaged file(s).

In that case, back up your media files (music, photo, videos, etc.) to a computer, and delete them from the phone. See if that resolves the issue. If so, as our veep suggested, you probably have a corrupted or damaged file.
I Also have that bug. really annoying as i checked all my media files and they are all ok (none corrupt) Uninstalled Spotify, google voice , etc... Reformated the whole thing, progress installed all my media : nothing. Then the next day it starting. "audio on" in GSam.
Can't find the issue. really annoying REALLY ANNOYING.
I don't want to install "mediaserver killer" app as it messed up my alarm (even when i put edit the authorisation list)

Didn't work lol. Thanks though.
Can listening to google music cause this to show? I have it too.
I found that after every call the mediaserver prozess (audio on) startet and never end. I have to reboot the phone to "kill/end" the mediaserver.
Any news about this annoying bug?
Solved! Disabled VoLTE and the wakelock is gone.
I found something new. On my phone the notifications cause the sound on. If i get a notification from Whatapp or hangouts etc the audio on count up til I read or dismiss the message. Now i try to disable the notification sound in android setting and use Floatify to play the notification sounds and now the sound on count only a few seconds up without running until I read or dismiss.

Usee the phone about 30 mins (and listened to music for quite about the same period) and when i woke up i saw that Media server was top drainer (about 50 mins of cpu usage) along others that shouldn't be there.. I do have a microsd card in but don't have that much media :/. Nor corrupted files AFAIK.
I don't use/have voLTE.
This is an exynos variant.
I think you got the notification bug.Is your phone rootet? You can try to install GSam Battery Monitor and GSam root.
Look serveral times to App Usage/mediaserver/audio on. If it stays at the same time stamp wait for an incoming notification. Dont read or dismiss the notification and look serveral times to GSam and you can see that audio on will counting up until you read or dismiss the notification.
Sorry for my bad english.
I am facing the mediaserver issue after i reset my phone to actually avoiding android system and android battery drain. The phone resetted, and i took out the sd card to put ib second sim to activate WhatsApp. Thej put in the sd card back. Have been facinf media server issue since then.
Now my android os and android system drain have come to single digit, but mediaserver issue has cropped up.
I just used a brand new s7 edge for a little bit today. No sim card or sd card inserted, no music added. Only browsed the web with chrome (tethered to my old phone). At the end of the day, media server was using same amount of power as the screen (about 2 hrs on time). I still had lots of battery left but still annoying.
