[Q] Walkman issue - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Adventure Time App - Need some testing

I published an Adventure Time app to the Market recently and a couple of Epic users have reported that it doesn't work for them. I have a hunch about what might be wrong and I changed a few things and need some of you guys to test things out for me before I make an official update.
Below is the link to the apk. Will someone install it and check to see if Finn (the first character) plays sound when you press on him? The other characters shouldn't work, if my hunch is right.

They all talk when I press them. Bonsai 3.0.1

So, just to be clear. You click on a character and then receive a black screen each time?
the board next to the characters on the first screen.. one says stickers that takes me to the next screen (not avail.).. but when I press sounds, screen goes black.. also I uninstalled and then deleted the .apk... dl'd the link again, installed second time, same result.

this is cool I downloaded it form the market, would be sweet if you could choose the character then choose the phrase but i haven't experienced any problems

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Well, I have no idea why it's working for some and not others. Maybe it's a memory thing.

Is your phone stock? It is seeming more and more to me that stock phones are having major issues with everything. My wife had a stock LG Optimus S and its barely a month old and already having major issues with handling and weird random stuff like what you just explained. Can anyone else confirm this? I have no problems with my Zio other then wifi cutting out. That's been this particular sets only problem. I keep up on this thing, stock phones don't have the control to keep caches free and clear and so on.

Yes its all stock. And also I can't/don't know how to set my mp3 ringtones to my contacts. Like, an mp3 for one contact, a different mp3 for another contact, so I can know who is calling me just by hearing which mp3 is ringing.

The answers to your questions are all in reading around here. Not gonna spoon feed you. Assigning a custom ringtone to a specific person is really easy and if you can't do it you need a less smartphone because its obviously too smart for you.

Spoon feed? Nah nah, ever since the "upgrade to 2.2" the option to set different mp3s to different contacts is no longer showing up when editing a/any contact. So ill disregard ur lil smart a** reply. I ain't all tech-y with smartphones and stuff, I just want to set it like before the 2.2 so if I'm at work welding or playing baseball with my kids, I can hear who's calling without having to stop mid-weld or mid-pitch just to see who's calling. Yeah its probly already answered somewhere in hear but I ain't searchin n searchin when HOPEFULLY I can just ask, post, and just check back later for someones appreciated help, not some sh** like spoon feed crap. If ud rather reply with that crap and not with something helpful to what's being asked then just be an ass with someone who is already being an ass. L8Rs.

The lord helps those who help themselves. No one else will spoon feed you either. Jack Wagon. If you won't search no one is going to help you. I search and that's how I find things I need. I don't post and wait for someone else to read for me, because I'm not lazy. Get real. If you can't figure out simple things like mp3ringtones you have a phone that's too smart for you, idiot.

Dude I already answered that in the last thread you made regarding this.

Wow, this is so simple. I will go ahead and tell you how to do it. Got to your contacts, find the one you want to set the ringtone for and hit the menu button, get this it actually pops up a menu that has some options, one of which is "Ringtone" Select "Ringtone" Then it will pop another menu (tricky I know) bear with me here, choose between Android System or User Added Ringtones or Zedge or whatever other ringtone apps you might have. The next step is all up to you just pick the ringtone you want and VIOLA!!!!!! /discussion
Alright can we stop the bashing on others and get back to the subject.

Everything is koo up untill I select ringtone, after I select it, a list of stock tones (that I know I didn't put in) come up starting with default, Android beat box, sunshine, rainy day, waterfall or something like those. Never does it ask Android ringtones or user submitted tones or anything of that nature.

I SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM! I WENT TO MUSIC, LONG PRESSED A SONG, SELECTED "SET AS RINGTONE". HOME SCREEN, THEN CONTACTS, SELECTED THE CONTACT, MENU, OPTIONS, RINGTONE, THEEEEN IT WAS IN THE LIST TO PICK FROM ALONG WITH THE STOCK ONES! No one came close to suggesting that process. But thanks anyways.

I had the same issue. I'm thinking it has something to do with synching with google. This has happened to me on previous devices as well. I had to individually delete over 1000 songs on top of pictures. I ended up going back to the stock rooted rom (I was on blackstars rom when this happened) and re-synched and installed everything without that happening again.

Xperia Z does a sort of a reset

Hi folks.
I just picked up my Xperia Z today which has fiat released. I went home and started using it. After some hours use, I put it in the dock that came with the device.
At this point my phone started showing a video with some blinking colorful text appearing. Just like a commercialfor the phone. I took it out of the dock and suddenly my "desktop" was reset back to factory default. I have had this happeninga few times, both ind the dock, after "locking" the device, and while playing YouTube videos.
Am I the only one experiencing this? And does anyone have a solution?
Best regards
Me

r u sure u didn install something or anything to unlock or root
Or better to ask what did u do in few hrs u used it?!
I think u got a demonstration phone for retails only.
It show demos when nobody is using it at the retail or shop.
And reset after playing with it, so next customer can play with like New XZ
Just make sure

Sv: Xperia Z does a sort of a reset
Yeah. I read through quite some forum posts and it seems that what caused my problem was some "sample_demo" app that was running.
I just has to clear data for this and I haven't had a problem since.
I haven't rooted my device yet since I don't see a real use for it as I did with my HTC Desire. As for now I'm going to stay with stock, but in the future I might root it.
Thanks for the help btw.

Okay.. After this night while my phone was recharging it suddenly started running the retail demo again. I found two retail apps in the running apps list which I force closed and one of them was deactivated.
Is there some way I can remove them completely? I know of ADB and have own an old HTC Desire which I had rooted and etc.
My XZ is not yet rooted..

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?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
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
