I tried to get support from Spotify without success and I am wondering if anyone here knows the answer. Every time I update my rom I lose all of my locally stored music for the app and I have to download it all over again. First question --is there a way to prevent this from happening? And second question --is the previously downloaded music still taking up space in my storage?

Hello room, First post and new to modding. I updated my Vibrant(OTA J16) and my Avatar file is now gone. The widget is still there but movie is lost. Also when I'm in a call and recieve a text, the text message ringtone plays in the handset during my coversation very annoying. Did this happened to anyone else, little help please. I'm rooted and running stock Rom.
Well if you lost the file its gone foreva! But you can always reflash stock and start from scratch. Plenty of threads about how to do it.
Having the same problem. Anyone know where the file is physically located?
File is still there. It is the correct 1.4G big. In the past people recommended reseating the micro sd. Will try that next.

Try finding it within the Video Player app. If it's still on the external SD card media scanner would have found it.
I'm having the same issue. It's saying "Avatar.dcf is locked. Do you want to unlock it now?"
I say yes and it does nothing. At first I would be able to play it through the video player ( the shortcut wouldn't work) but I rebooted and now it won't play at all.
Reseating the microSD card doesn't work. Will try to call Tmobile next.
Have not seen anything about this problem I am having so thought the only way was to ask.
I transferred all my music on to the A500 into the music folder and fired up music (The one with the cover flow). It picked all the music up fine but now I have a problem.
I wanted to start again as a lot of music made it over the I did not really want so via a file manager I deleted all the music files.
When I restarted music i thought it may have noticed that nothing was there and removed all the cover art so i could start over however it still shows it all and if you tap on any of them it just says unable to play which I can understand because there is nothing there.
I could see nothing that allows me to refresh the list or anything like that although this is mentioned on the help (does not show on the actual app).
I went to the main settings app and applications and selected clear data which it did but all the cover art is still showing up.
Anyway I get can get rid of all this.
did you power down then power on your tablet after clearing data in manage applications?
Yup I did but has made no difference.
Ok well managed to sort this out, Was a case of going in a terminating all services relating to it then going in and clearing all data then re powering.
Mods you can delete this thread if you want.
Hello, I need help regarding Google Play Music's offline storage. On my SGS2 (and Captivate before it), it saves the offline files in /sdcard/Android/com.google.android.music which is great. But on my Nexus 7, it keeps them in /data/data/com.google.android.music. This is fine for the average user, but things get messy when I need to do backups. Both Titanium Backup and CWM backup my offline music, which is 4GB, and there is no way around it since the songs are simply located where application data is. I have attempted to symlink this music directory to the empty one on the sdcard, but I only succeeded in screwing up the application. That issue aside, how can I get the music to download to /sdcard rather than /data/data?
Really, nobody else has encountered this issue?

dunno if you found a solution yet, but this thread has a sol'n. haven't tried it

Before I get lamblasted for not checking the other threads, I have read them all but not found a solution.
I have a S4 with a stock EE (UK) Rom which is currently 4.2.2 (come on EE where is 4.3!!). When I download or add a new ringtone or notification the Media Scanner does not pick it up and show it in the list. Whatever I try does not solve this problem.
I have downloaded every app I can find in Play Store to force it to run and whilst they report success the new ringtone is not found. I tried putting the ringtones onto the memory card rather than having in internal storage, still no luck. I have tried putting into the default folders (ringtones, notifications and alarms instead of Media>Audio>Ringtones etc) this also does not work.Rebooting does not work and neither does a hard reset.
The only way I can find to get the Media Scanner to work is to go to Settings>Application Manager and find the app and delete the data and cache, force close the app and then reboot. Which is just ridiculous when I simply want to add a new ringtone and has never happened on any of the other android devices I have owned.
Curiously photos are updated in the Gallery instantly.
Anyone have any ideas about how to cure this ?
The problem is that google music is always telling me that I have no space left to download music, nevertheless I still have over 20GB of storage free.
I guess that is due to the fact that xiaomi phones have three partitions two for os and one for data, and google music maybe using the data partition, but I don't know where else to look for the solution.
Anyone have any suggestion what maybe causing this issue?
Cheers
