Hi, I'm using Xperia TX with .197 firmware (unlocked BLoader). I noticed that after downloading images from the internet to my phone, the "album" didn't show those new images. I had to reboot the phone for them to show up. Is there any way to make the library auto-update or any magic button to update it?
:fingers-crossed: Thanks

Have you tried stopping the app, then relaunching it? I believe this will force a media rescan.(settings, apps, force stop)

thank you Baz, for reminding me of this workaround, I haven't seen this problem since my x10 days.
But it feels weird to be doing that everytime I download media from the net. It's a $500+ phone after all. Do you have this problem at all or is it just me?

I must admit I have not tried it yet, but I did notice that when I deleted a few images I had on my ext sd card they still showed up in album, perhaps it is unavoidable, otherwise media's scan would have to run constantly!?

Was browsing the Evo 4G boards and ran across an .apk for the Netflix app on that just released recently. You cant install from the marketplace link, because this app wasnt "technically made for the HD2". But the program works and runs great for me when installing from the .apk listed on that forum.
I'm running Android: Ladyboo MIUI by the way. Test it out. thanks

I saw on the market feed back section that someone with a HD2 has it and is running fine. But I have a HD2 and I am not able to download it now is it on the list. How do you think he was able to get it?

I think it may have to do with whatever core build you are using. The NexusHD2 build for example will more than likely get it but Typhoon CM7 does not. But I was able to install locally and it works now for me.
Will this work for a HD2 Desire Z Nand Zip Rom?

Nice, I will load it when I get to my pc. Unless theres a way to do it to the root file from my phone.
Yeah just come here with your phone browser (or the XDA app) and download right to your phone, any file manager will install it once you have it on your sdcard

Anyone have any idea what could cause this and possibly how to fix? I just tried reinstalling and power cycling the phone. I also tried to disable mobile network and use WiFi. No luck. When it starts to play the video I see the pause button and the time bar then they disappear and it goes back to the netflix home screen.

Does anyone encounter applications being forced close eg; Gmail, Instagram and returning to the homescreen? I bought it today here in Thailand but the device itself was imported from Singapore. PS, it's C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350 guessing to be Singaporean firmware.
About Gmail problem, I think this problem is causing from the content inside your email. Some can be opened and some cannot (which the problem I found were mostly on email that contained Thai language and any email with attached files).
This should be a firmware or gmail app problem. Hope they will release a fix as soon as possible though cuz I got a serious problem in checking my mail while away from the office. :'(
I have no issue with Instagram so far. My advice is to try to change the display language to English. Hope this help !

Thanks for answering! Anyway, I already changed the system language to English(UK) but the IG still to be the same. Do you think flashing Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.A.1.350 Original Sony Unbranded UK Rom will solve this problem?

in my opinion;
if after returning to home screen thr s no lag and problem with home screen animation and it works smoothly
so force closed is because of applications
(however not see yet force close in gmail and etc.)
and just say about settings
any change in stamina ! or developers option?

Try the default English after resetting the phone.

I am in same situation as you. I bought the phone for 2 weeks in Thailand which imported from Singapore (C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350).
I have found the problem like you that Gmail close itself in some emails, but this problem not happen with Gmail only. I have a problem with Google Reader when I want to read details in the reader from Sony Xperia Z (It is just happen in some page with Thai content.), I get a blank screen flash quickly on the screen then it goes back to the reader page. It is happen to Flipboard, GReader and Socialife too. I have tried to factory reset but It's can't solve any problems.
This is example pages that I have found problems when open from google reader.

I don't know how to fix it. :crying:
I confirmed that this problem happens with others application such as Socialife, or Email app too.
Most of Thai people are currently using XZ C6603 from HK or SG so I think this problem is probably in Firmware or the application and not with the phone itself.
I also tried factory reset 2 times already without touching anything in setting. ( Just add my gmail account and try check the email after reset )
As there is no solution to solve this problem now, I'll just wait to see if this problem still exist in 4.2.2 which Sony should be release soon.
For now, I would suggest that you open Gmail via Google Chrome Browser.
Perhaps, it should be fixed by 4.2.2 with in this month.
Report the issue to Sony.
I don`t wanna open new topic, so I will just reply here. I have same problem with Instagram. Just made an PC Companion repair and it is still same (FW .434). After trying to refresh in news, app just close it self and I am moved to homescreen. It is single app installed from fresh repair. I thought first that problems were with smaller soft buttons, then I though it is problem cuz of root, but now I see that problem is still there...
EDIT:
I found solution for Instagram. Problem starts with version 3.5.x (3.5.1 - 3.5.3). I downgraded to 3.4.5 and now it`s fine, no more FC.
MY XZ keeps pulling pics from whatsapp into the ALBUM app on XZ..how to stop that?
There'll be a bunch of folders on the storage area, you need to put a blank file called " .nomedia " in there to stop it from looking in that folder.

No one is complaining because it's not the fault of Sony. Whatsapp is the problem here not Sony or the lack of complaints.

I wish there was some way to exclude folders from view in the stock album viewer also.
You can download a hacked version of whatsapp and it has an option to disable that. On top of that, the photos you upload are not compressed, so it's the full hd photo when others download it.
I think it's called whatsapp plus or +

Just for the record the problem also happens on Galaxy phones, this isn't a sony problem it's a whatapp problem.
Bless, did you clear media storage app data after creating .nomedia file and restart the phone and wait again to do the scan?? Obviously if you create the file and not reset the media storage index of filed I'll keep loading them.

For the past week or so, my Media Server keeps acting up and I really couldn't find a way to stop it. I don't know if it's a corrupted file or aoo that's causing this issue.
I have deleted Google Currents and Google Drive. Turned off Google now. All I have syncing is contacts, app data and keep.
What could be causing this? I took out my SD card and formatted it, didn't seem to help, I have not inserted my SD card since.
Please help me stop my Media Server from eating my battery
Are you using sonys stock rom? If so its normal to have it running... But it shouldnt be a real battery hog.... Some apps use it if im not mistaken for other processes. How many screen on time are you getting?

I'm using RomAur 8.0 with doomkernel.
I had the same problem with media server, and yesterday I deleted the xperia facebook account in the settings. Today media server seems to be normal.
Maybe the facebook integration was causing this behavior!
...but maybe this was just a damn coincidence...

don't think so, tried clearing cache, reinstalling the app..ultimately had to uninstall Youtube updates and use the stock version, it's working that way
Still having the same problem even with the app updates..is anyone experiencing this issue? It all started when upgrading to 4.3..
Try to go to settings → Apps → YouTube then force stop it, clear data, then check if you have any YouTube extension disabled, if u have, then enable it. if you don't have, then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Reset app preferences" then restart your phone.
I can't promise that it gets fixed this way, but it might solve it.
