hello all
I have this problems that bothers me so much and i couldn't find a way to solve it
When I plug the Captivate in Media Player it just go crazy. First it shows "MTP Application" windows and display "initializing" and it start blinking "closing and reopening"
did any one encounter such a problem ?!
When I did a little more research I found that it's a common problem in Galaxy S series. Some indicated that the problem is in the MTP application reading the SD when it contains files with more than 16 character extensions.
I formatted the internal SD and at first it seemed that it worked but later the problem reoccurred !
Any thoughts ?!

I dont know how to solve the MTP problem itself , I got tired of searching.
I got past it by settings > applications >usb settings > (i selected ask on connection)
Hi all. Just curious if anyone has had success syncing Winamp over Wifi as it claims it can. I've tried on two phones and now the Gtab and all I ever get is FC. Plays local media well, but when I go to the "Enable Sync" is settings.... BOOM! FC.
No one?! No body has used Winamp before?
I haven't tried on the most recent version, but I was able to associate the tablet and use sync without any issues when I tried.
This was about three weeks ago, so probably five different firmwares and one Winamp revision ago.
I'll try it again tonight and see if it's still working.
winamp on windows crashes on me after only a few songs but I do get some.
Thanks. Please let me know. I use it all the time on my W7 laptop, but can't get into the setup for wireless sync on the tablet (or my Hero). I'm bummed, but if someone else has the same issues at least I know it's not just me.
It works great on my Nexus One, haven't tried the Gtablet yet. For reference my PC is running Windows 7 Professional x64.
Are you trying to use your gtab as a wireless remote to play your music on your computer, or play your music from your computer on your gtab over wifi?
If you are trying to use your gtab as a wireless remote I have a pretty cool solution that I use all the time (not with winamp though... sorry). My htpc is connected to my stereo / tv and I sue the gtab as a wireless remote for my music.

I'm on W7 x86. Not sure what the issue could be. Perhaps I didn't set it up properly on the PC side.

I simply want to sync Winamp to the GTab as the app states it can. I'll have to verify the PC setup I guess.
I had to do some tweaking, rebooting and other stuff but I was eventually able to get it to sync to my Sprint Hero and GTablet. I'm on whatever the latest Winamp is now, Win7 x64 Home Premium, and I could get my PC to see both the devices fine; just sending files was the problem. It ended up being that you have to have both the auto-mount AND sync enabled for it to actually send files. Found that on the Winamp forums.
So if you're having a problem just getting it to enable the syncing on your phone, I cannot help. Sorry.

I installed it on my GTab from the market - hit the wi-fi tab in WinAmp and it discovered my SeaGate NAS storage and grabbed all the music from it with the only issue being a couple of Album covers are wrong. I am running TnT Lite 3.1.4...

Ok. I'm going up to TnT 4.10 tonight so I'll reinstall it from the market and see what happens. Thanks. I'll keep ya'll posted.
I can select enable, but when I go to change the settings it FC's
I had been using Winamp for quite some time now. But only running a international radio with no problem.
I love the winamp app, works like a charm! Today I tried the wifi-syncing option, but it won't work on my X10i. Milestone works perfectly, but with my X10i, Winamp can't even recognize it as my X10, just a wifi android device. And it keeps telling me I don't have enough free space, even worse, it tells me 0MB (0%)/0MB... Anyone else having this problem? Couldn't find anything on the web about this problem
I got it to work fine.
Have synced both over WiFi and USB. Seems a bit slow.
One thing I wish they allowed you to do is select the destination for the synced files. I want to put my media on the external SD.
I might post something on their support forum about that.
Deleting pmp_wifi.ini from %appdata%/roaming/winamp did the trick for me when my pc couldn't discover the winamp on my android. After restarting winamp on your pc, you should be able to see and pair with your devices.
Thanks for the "enable auto-mount" trick! My winamp would get stuck after a few songs. Looks like it's going for the whole 12 gigs now. :laugh:
Edit: winamp crashed again, even with automount enabled. Still searching for a solution..
Hey all,
I have looked through this forum and others looking for an answer to my predicament. This issue seems to only be affecting me, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.
First, I am using the Thrill 4G with the stock ROM.
The SD Card is a PNY 32GB HC class 10.
I keep my music on my external SD Card. I would create multiple playlists. Connect my phone to my computer (I've tried 4 different ones). Add music. Eject the device, turn off USB Mode. At first it started with some of the songs not being in some of the playlists. Sometimes it would even leave just one song (the last one I added in one case). Now if I turn on USB Mode while connected to my computer and eject it and turn off USB Mode... all the playlists are empty.
I've used Power Amp (v1.4 and 2.0), the stock player, Amazons MP3 app and others.
I have done the Factory Data Reset a couple of times.
I have not done the reset with holding the 3D+volume down+whatever to reset it though.
The only other thing I haven't tried is to put the original 8GB card that came with the phone back in and see what happens, but I am pretty sure if I do that my playlists will be empty again when I put the 32gigger back in.
At this point I have work-arounds for getting music and data to my phone (cloud drive), but I am very afraid of connecting the phone to my computer and turning on USB Mode.
Any ideas would be helpful especialy if you have seen this kind of thing before.
Thanks!
I noticed one of my playlists got emptied as well. Just one of the bigger ones though (my luck...) because another one wasn't affected. I don't know what exactly I did to cause it to happen. That never happened to me on any other phone. I'm just using the stock music player.

Believe it or not, Ejecting the drive from my computer before unmounting is what has caused this issue for me. Ive found if I just unmount usb storage from the phone itself and then unplug it all is well. I know the phone warns to Eject via the computer properly first, but its caused me data loss almost everytime Ive done it.

So I took the plunge this morning and did as you suggested. The playlists are empty again, but PowerAmp did put the playlists in the file-based playlists area. So now they are all "artist.m3u8". The good news is that I don't have to recreate them all again. The bad news is the way PowerAmp handles playlists now in v2.0, I also have "artist 1.m3u8" "artist 2.m3u8". Back top good news again, I can live with this. Just gotta figure out the best way to deal with it.
Thanks.
How do you exactly create playlists on your computer? Have you tried some sync software on PC like songbird with MSC and Device addon + anything but stock player (Google Music works for me). I didn’t test that on Thrill 4G yet, but it works perfect on my SGS2
The ones I have now I created in PowerAmp (which now has it's own way of doing playlists in v2.0). I have tried WinAmp, Amazon, the stock player and a couple of others. It used to remove some or all of the songs, but now it just always removes all the songs.
Test: created ACDC playlist in Amazon, plugged phone into computer, usb mode on\off, unplug, no songs... Oops, Spoke too soon. After PA and the system finished it's scaning of the SD card, the songs were there, twice. Adding songs in from another artist that I did not have a playlist for previously shows all the songs in Amazon and now the stock player is showing this artist after it scanned. PowerAmp (of course) does not and now all the playlists that I had created before are populated in Amazon and the stock player. Crazy.
Songbird looks really nice, but no equalizer or pre-amp which is one reason I like PA so much.
Here it is a couple hours later and I haven't even posted this... Well, I give up. I beleive it was an issue with PowerAmp so I am using PlayerPro now. Very nice design. A few extra features. No problem with playlists (knock on wood). Has a 10 band equalizer. Just what the Dr. ordered.
I found a fix to the problem!
Download the disable service app from the playstore, go to Media Storage under System apps and disable the MediaScannerService.
This does, however prevent the device from scanning for new media, so if you want new songs to show up in your device, re-enable the MediaScannerService and reboot.
EDIT: It seems that this app disabled the Media Storage from running on boot. Startup manager fixed it.
this is in fact a good solution!
Just thought I might share this, in case anyone else was running into these problems.
I was always syncing my music to my Android phone using Salling Media Sync over USB, which worked OK. For that to work, the phone memory needed to be recognized as a Mass Storage device. Obviously, this didn't work anymore with the Razr I, since it uses the MTP protocol.
Since I am on OS X, I even needed to install the Google Android MTP driver, which really caused quite a few problems, didn't solve my problem regarding Mass Storage, and really is nothing like an elegant solution.
I tried various syncing apps from the market (wireless sync was not a must, but nice to have - especially considering the fact that I needed to purchase an App in most cases for full functionality). Apps I tried were for example Winamp Pro, Doubletwist, TuneSync and a few others that I don't remember right now.
When using the wireless sync feature however, these Apps had a serious flaw (that's being discussed in the respective manufacturer forums quite extensively, without there being a solution that): to my surprise, none of them would sync to my external SD card, they all synced to the internal storage - and there was no option to specify the storage (or folder) to sync to, even though this should be a really easy thing to do for a developer.
Long story short: the App that offers exactly this functionality and works flawlessly with iTunes and its playlists is iSyncr. You can even select where to sync every single playlist, so you could even distribute your music between the internal and external storage.
As a bonus, recognizing all the playlists and songs on the phone worked flawlessly - with other solutions (like Winamp and Salling) I would always have dead duplicates of playlists and songs that didn't work, sometimes not even any of the entries would work.
So just in case anybody is struggling with the same issue: iSyncr works. Of course it's not perfect, but I think it offers everything I wanted for now.
Best regards,
Hendrik
+1 to all of the above. isyncr is a fantastic product. i also tried doubletwist but it was a major cpu hogger on my laptop :silly:
Unfortunately, I need to add one downside for me when using iSyncr with OS X: when iSyncr is running (which is all the time, if you have it set up to auto start on login), my mouse pointer hangs when I plug in USB sticks and the likes. Spent quite some time trying to figure out why that suddenly happened...
Oh well, I just removed it from auto start and will just start it when I need it. Hope this gets fixed.

i do that anyway. no need to have it running all the time....unless you are syncing everyday?
Did they break the functionality of the original post? Eg wifi synch to SD card. iSyncr used to do it (http://blog.jrtstudio.com/2011/04/multi-drive-sync-isyncr-140.html) but now the settings are gone.
EDIT: I found it. It is now under Settings -> Wifi POLICIES - Default Storage
Hi guys,
I have a some problems with Throw function in my Z1. Firstly I want to sorry for my poor english. I wish you can understand me.
I have a PC and VAIO laptop, and Throw via WiFi doesnt work. If I enable Bluetooth it works correctly, but you know, range of BT is terrible, so I want stream music via WiFi.
If I use PC Companion, wireless connect work perfectly, I can copy files, and update my phone, but when I use Throw, and select PC or laptop via WiFi it loading for while and finally nothing happens. Even sound timer always display "00:00". When I click Play button, it's again the same - loading and nothing.
In Windows Media Player I turn on Stream->Allow remote devices to control my computer , and in further options "Allow all" in sharing streams.
I fight with that since 3 hours, and I give up... Anyone any idea ?

I have no idea what you're trying to do but :
Throw means throwing informations with your phone not sharing or taking control of another media.
With my Z1 i can throw music or photos to my TV for exemple (that simply sends and plays the music on my TV).
What do you want to do exactly?

I want to be able to throw music to my laptop or desktop while all three devices *Z1 Laptop Desktop* are connected to same wifi network.
Also what is the best cheapest way to connect my phone screen to my non-smart TV? I do not opt from ChromeCast
Hey there, guys.
I'm facing this problem too. For some reason "Throw" stopped working or works when it wants.
Long story short, i have .757 NUT's, Rooted, LB and Xposed installed with not else than Super User Mod.
When i try to use Throw, i can't find my Samsung Smart TV (In the past it was able to); funny thing is that i cant use Throw for watch videos on my PC using XBMC, but XBMC can access to my content vía uPnP and can reproduce the videos, phoos, etc. I use skifta which does "the same" than Throw and it works perfecly, it can find my TV and can reproduce the videos, but i can't understand why my naive APP which use DLNA wont work.
Any fix or workaround?
