sony music unlimited is awful

It offers a wide range of options but the application takes a good 10 seconds to start and crashes alot.
Anyone else having problems with it?
Also any good alternatives?

Currently Spotify is your best bet. There is an update for Music Unlimited on the way that integrates it completely in the Walkman app, so just a little bit more patience

Spotify unfortunalty wont download from the market as i cant find it
Also good to know about the walkman, any idea when?

Most likely with the 4.2 update, no real changes expected on 4.1. Should be somewhere before the summer.

Mediaserver

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

Android "Siri" version?

Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.
What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.
Can this be done?
Thanks.

Does Voice Search do it?

Yea, android version of Siri is Google now, you can easily access it sliding with your finger from home button down your screen to the any place on top.

Plus one for Google now Def plays songs, videos,answers questions,checks calender,sets reminders,makes calls,emails,texts,really everything siri does but not as much personality plus the cards are useful and it seams as each update improves it

I use Robin - the Siri Challenger. Check the play store for it.

Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone. I recall having issues getting the android default voice assistant to play me music on the go. Can anyone 100 % confirm any voice assistant (default or otherwise) being able to playback music by vocal command?

I don't like it running either but because it's part of the Android system you can't disable it unless rooted. And then any app which uses it to find content (most music and video players, photo album apps etc) won't work properly, although there are folder browsing apps which don't need it.

You need it... root won't help
to reduce its drain switch off keypad tones & vibrate....
anything that uses media files will start media server that is what it does

That is a bug in android 4.1 firmware. Google it for a media scanning bug in 4.1 , u will find many answers.but only solution is 4.2

For me, I solved the problem largely by using the donate version of Greenify.
I greenified "media storage", "memory" and "storage capability", and this solves the problem. Greenify will allow apps to be frozen when they are not in use, but when they are called via intents, they wake up almost immediately, hence preserving battery without losing any capabilities.
A must have!

Need For Speed Most Wanted on 8.4

I am just wondering if I am the only one having issues with this game. It constantly crashes on launch. I am running stock firmware now and am not even rooted at the moment. Thanks

Yep, me too. Sorry to hear that for you but happy that I am not the only one. I think I will let EA know of the problem for our device, if they listen to little old me. Thanks for confirming.

no problem! a try is a try :good:

Any response?
I also have this issue. I had to swap my tab pro for other reasons, does it on the new one As well.
My favorite game

Hi,
I had the same issue, I have found that turning of rotation, sync and multi window seem to resolve it (I usually just swipe down and switch everything off now just to be sure!)
Hope this works for you!

Hi
The game is crashing after every event/course. I have to relaunch the game .
It crashes when it tries to connect to Origin ? I have a circle infinite loop, then crashes.
Error is "NFS has stopped", and if i wanna read error log, i also have "Google Play has stopped"
Sync, rotation Multiwindows are disabled obv.
So, after each challenge/run, i have to relaunch game, annoying

Just turn off your Flipboard app. Settings/Device settings/Program manager/find a Flipboard and press on it, and press turn off.BTW:Just turn off all settings on status bar, because it works too.
