Mediaserver - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hello,
I was looking for what uses the most of my battery, and of course it was the screen, but I also found this media center, and I have no idea what this is, or what is does. Can someone explain it to me?

That is just looking through your system for media, eg photos videos images etc
It normally does that for a few days after a flash. It will eventually calm down a bit.

Hmm strange because I haven't flashed my phone, just have it for a week or so

hey!
there is no solution for this everyone is inveting somthing but nothing works for most of ppl lol
+ everything about corrupted media file is a lie i totaly had no media files on phone and its still popping up i dunno wth should i do! lol
if you found a solution a real one dont hesitate telling me please!

Get rid of System Sounds (touch, key tones) and any app that uses your Album pics in it's widget, Top Contacts etc.

The sound effects engine also uses media server, so if you have keyboard sounds etc turned on that we'll do it

Zoe and Dropbox compatibility

So after having this phone for a day I have discovered some quirks. One of which is when using zoe it takes 20 stills and a 3 second video clip but the stills dissapear somewhere into a black hole as can't find them on the phone.
However when I plug the phone into my desktop they show up where expected in the DCIM folder.
So I thought well what does dropbox do to manage the zoes. Answer NOTHING !
I checked my dropbox and have over 100 zoes in a folder so now I have turned off instant upload as I ser this as a headache to manage my photos.
Let me know if any of you guys have some workarounds for the above two issues.

Yeah it's a pain with Dropbox, I don't know how it can be managed.
On the phone, you can just scroll through the Zoe clip and see each individual still, so it's well managed.

This is really a BIG PROBLEM for me!! When i use Zoe feature it spams my dropbox to death...
I have hundreds of pictures which are nearly all the same and i have to delete them manually in dropbox... such a pain!
I know. Stupid HTC !!

Or turn off automatic photo up load to drop box and manually select the photo to up load

[Q] Can you force Beats Audio on for ringtones etc?

Hi guys and girls,
My question is exactly what the title says, can you force beats audio to always be on for what your ringtone/ notification tones.
I've had a search on here but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure it is applied if beats is already enabled... I can hear the difference in my ringtones when i turn beats on/off.

I think that's a completely different issue. The difference between beats on and off is not as drastic as when you set a song as a ringtone and when you play it from the music player. I noticed how crappy it is too, but don't know why it's like that. I actually found this thread by doing a search for a fix, but no help so far.
Maybe dragging and dropping music files from your computer via USB to their respective locations would work. I'm sure the problem is in the mp3 to ringtone format conversion process.

Well if you can make a lightweight app that plays a silent sound in the background at all times (enabling beats 24/7) then it should work. That's the only way I've found to get it working.
It will cause battery drain though....how much exactly I don't know.

It will make the phone not go into deep sleep... This is a lot of battery drain i think...
There must be a trigger to enable beats with every sound.... But i dont know where to find it.
If we make the apk responsable ( dont know wich maybe prizm.apk?) A user app. Would this change something?
Every other app downloaded is using beats and these are all user apps.
How can we change the system apps into user apps?

System apps use beats too. I moved a few apps to system to see if any difference but no.
My guess though would be to try and mod the audio policy.conf
Or maybe mod the htcmusicenhancer.apk

In the audio policy.conf i didnt find anything that could enable beats. I dont have the tools to edit a apk file.
Opening the apk file with a zip extractor didnt gave me the result i would have. Coudnt find something that had to do with beats also.

Could be a framework thing but I haven't taken the time to decompile the One's framework yet. Other than that I got nothing. I asked over on the ViperOne thread to see if it could be added into the rom. Now to wait and see if the dev can/wants to do it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one interested in seeing this happen wish I could be more help but I know nothing about war you's are talking about haha

Definitely looking for this feature as well. Even for me, who's not really good at distinguishing music quality notice how different the music plays as ringtone and in Music Player with Beats On.
I've noticed this before too. I also noticed that, on maximum volume, the phone plays ringtones louder than music. I think the phone makes ringtones sound worse (through reducing bass) so it can play the ringtone louder than it would play music, and not have distortion.
I don't think there will be a solution for this...
I have modified my custom ringtone a bit so it sounds nicer then before. So I can live with it.

Well since Beats is just and equalizer app, how can we edit the mp3 manually to fit the same options as Beats use?

Dev-connection 10.1 CyanogenMod Question?

Hi all,
Love this forum and the roms, just have a couple of questions I hope someone can help with.
Just flashed Dev-connection ROM and is so far amazing, battery drain massively improved from Ivendors other ROM. Also moved to Mauritius and poor reception has given rise to phantom key presses, PKF sorted that. Big thanks.
With this ROM I have lost ability to tether my laptop, tried USB, WiFi and Bluetooth with no joy?
What would I gain from installing K^ kernel, I think better battery maybe?
My album art shows in Gallery app, have done .nomedia in most folders, did that in music folder and Apollo couldn't see music, any suggestions?
I love the new camera, 3.0 I believe it is, can't find the version number. I saw it had a voice activated option but can't work out how to trigger it? I seem to get an error when it initiates though, Google search has stopped, I'd that relevant?
Also some of my music Apollo and other apps split my albums up, I assume this is something to so with the track metadata, Paulo Nutini Sunny Side Up is in three folders but in file explorer is correctly just one.
Any help is most appreciated
Thanks again Devs for all the hard work. :thumbup:

Hi, thanks for your report... wifi tethering is fixed in the next update, so you have to wait only a bit ...but for me on R1 usb tether worked fine (didn't tested Bluetooth tethering)
for music disappear in apollo you should remove .nomedia file from music directory, that file tells to the media scanner to not scan that folder, and music is media as images, and apollo splits your music according to metadata, you are right!
Honestly, USB tether worked for 5 min and now I can't get the laptop to see it. Can't wait for the update.
Should have explained clearer I know about the .nomedia, how can I stop my album art showing in gallery?
Any knowledge on the Camera, or K^kernel?
This foot the info on WiFi ap.

about the camera i never tried hands free option, btw with k^kernel you could have more battery life and more free ram. i do not use apollo so i don't know where it saves the album art... if it saves in the same directory as the music i think that you can't do nothing (you may try to not download album art with apollo, i don't know if there is an option) if you need wifi tethering you have to install another rom till the next ADC update.. you can try one of krislibaeer roms, or cm10.1 by davidteri, or erik's liquidsmooth
Think I sussed the album art, I don't think the music players are using them they are just left over from copying the folder from windows which places JPEGs in the folders deleted pictures and music players still have thumbnails. In future will just transfer mp3s only.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
About album art:
Most of the time are the pictures stored inside the mp3 file. Just like those I3D tags (or similair)
I think these files you mention are thumbails. Just delete them from the gallery

I have the same problem. Haven't noticed it with facebook but with chrome it looks like my music widget in the notification bar just stops working (the widget will stay visible), also no sound. I can open the walkman app and start a new song but when I start using Chrome again the problem will occur again. :crying:
My phone is pretty stock, it is rooted, bootloader still locked and I use Apex launcher.

Strange when I had the problem I also looked at my ram usage and still had 250 mb of ram free. Also it looked if the the widget in the notification bar just stalls, it wont react to any buttons. If android stops the task of the walkman app the widget would just dissapear. I think

One point does Xperia SP not actually good is RAM is only 1GB, and since GPU reserve 2XX MB RAM so the usable RAM only 768MB...

[Q] Walkman issue

Hi all, I have an extremely irritating issue with my album covers appearing on the wrong artists & wondered if it is because they are cached & how to solve?
Basically I have 2 albums, one is called R.E.D. & the other is called Red. For some reason the walkman seems to think they are the same album & keeps messing up the album cover & putting all tracks into either one! How can I stop this? I have tried renaming both on the phone & from the computer, but everytime I click save or put the music back onto the phone, it keeps reverting back to either Red or R.E.D. for both albums & won't do what I want!
Hope this makes sense? Very hard to explain & it's driving me crazy :crying:
Thanks for any help!
Just a thought. Could you not try putting a space before Red? So instead of having R as the first letter it's a space... On my HTC phone that tended to solve it.

Yep thanks, tried that but it just kept reverting
The walkman is so stupid sometimes, even when I change album covers they don't even show up & when they do it's random. It's bad for my OCD!
Sorry, don't know what to suggest then. But yes I can imagine it's very annoying.
