Walkman App Showing "Unknown Artist" - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a very annoying issue with the Walkman App. This happened a couple of days ago.
The app shows the song title, the album name but the artist name for all of my mp3s display "unknown artist" (and in some cases, the artist name gets jumbled with another).
Now these are what I've already done but have not worked at getting back the correct Walkman App behaviour:
1.) Checked my files if anything has changed - all IDv3 tags are correct (I sampled about 15% of my mp3s and check each album folder).
2.) I backuped all of my files, reformated my memory card and restore it; still same behaviour
3.) Went to my app, cleared cache and data files - no dice.
4.) Reverted to the original app version - no dice.
5.) Then re-updated to Walkman App version 8.1.A.0.3 - no dice.
6.) I've checked my memory card for malware using Malwarebytes - no dice.
*update*
7.) I've installed the latest Google Play Music app - no dice
I'm stumped - I don't want to spend any more time on hit and miss.
Anyone out there who can help?
Here's my phone config:
Xperia Z (no root)
Sandisk 64GB ultra microsd class 10
Walkman App version 8.1.A.0.3
Model #: C6603
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: 10.4.1.B.0.101

[SOLVED]Missing ringtones

Hello.
I know,there is a few questions about this,but I didn't found the solution yet.
When I want to choose a ringtone,the list shows only "Silent" option,even tough,there are some items in the folders.
The problem is also when I want to choose notification sound and ringtone sound.
Maybe it has a dependency with Media scanner,which I have uninstalled unfortunately.
Please,how should I solve this? Maybe I can install Media scanner back,but don't have the apk anymore.
Edit: the same issue with alarms...
Is this the .apk you deleted?
Media provider:

I assumed that is the one, if not let me know to check if I have it.
Hope that helps bro.

Hi,
I have had the same thing happen. I chose "Clear Data" under Settings->applications->All->Media Storage when I was trying to fix a different problem with the Music player having duplicates. It fixed that issue but seems to have taken out the ringtones and alarms. I have the German ICS Samsung update installed - can I still install the above apk to fix the ringtones?
Yesterday I have restored an old backup(CWM) and I took out MediaProvider.apk from there.
Then I have restored the current ROM and copied to system/app. Doesn't help. No media scanning after all.
So I will try to flash again my current ROM image(from zip) and then I will restore my apps. We will see.
With media scanner I did following:
- installed Root Uninstaller
- freezed MediaProvider.apk
- I was unable to unfreeze it,so I deleted that from system.
- don't really know,if the issue starts at this point or not.
EDIT:
I solved this by performing reflashing my custom ROM and restoring my apps with Titanium Backup.
Conclusion: Media scanner is important.

[Q] problem about [Android Revolution HD5.3]

rom thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
Android Revolution HD 5.3 is a really good rom. It makes my Incredible S works smoother than any other rom I tryed.
I updated it from 5.2 to 5.3. First time,I didn't wipe personal data because I tought it's not necessary since it's just another version of same rom.
It worked normally power on,whatever when next time I rebooted the phone I lost my custom ringtone which was reseted to [Default ringtone(204)].
Then I checked the ringtone/notification/alarm list.It is nothing but blanck.I can't set any other ringtones include system default and other custom ones synced through google account.
Then I checked the default music player and default gallary. It show me nothing but [No music found] and [No photos or videos found].
Moreover! I couldn't take any photo through default camera.
I also couldn't choose any picture to share when the app launch photos through default gallary,like LINE.
However,I could launch the media through ES File Explorer or undefault music player.
I tryed to handle the problem. I full wiped the whole data and reinstall [Android Revolution HD 5.3] in recovery.
However,the problem apears again and again when I reboot.
Is there anybody facing the same problem like me? Or possibly there are someone know how to solve it?
By the way,firefox android crash every times I launch it when this problem occur, but it can be solved by clearing firefox's data.
fix promissions in recovery ----> tools
If i helpd u Pls give me Thanks

Album app showing black images

When I open app, it just shows black thumbnails and when I tap the image, also the image is black. I'm using 6.2.A.0.22 version of album on .230 firmware. I noticed the problem after I rooted with towel root, but I doubt it's related. Tried clearing data of album and media storage and rebooting, still black images.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try installing another version of album,make sure you have deleted any .thumbnails folders inside DCIM folder
Hi
Try all that:
1)Delete thumbnails folder inside DCIM folder in your internal sd
2)Go to settings>>>apps>>all>media storage and clear data of it
3)Go to settings>>>apps>>all>album uninstall updates
3)Go to settings>>>apps>>all>album and clear data
Reboot and wait at least 15 minutes

Images and Gallery app self deleting, alarm clock crash(all on stock rom)

Good afternoon. A couple of months earlier, my phone decided to go into a full bootloop and had to have it factory reset'd (taking out my saved files and apps in a whoosh since i didn't had a micro sd card available). Thought my problems were over when a new batch of downloads were axed suddenly(they show up as downloaded, but the system says they're gone from the micro sd) i've tried scan media, ES file explorer, quick pic and astro to no avail, then after trying to see a picture, the gallery app crashed and "self-deleted", and 1 month ago my alarm clock decided that it was time to stop working. Could anyone help me out in this?

Music library is empty(Regardless of which app I am using)

Hello guys!
About a month ago i bought Oneplus 3t 128GB, and the phone is amazing!
The only thing which is a major turnoff is the music.
I have copied all my songs from my LG G3 to my OP3T VIA my PC.
All files are MP3 or MP4 format.
When i try to play a music using "Google play music" is says "No downloaded music"
I've refreshed the library, deleted the cache off the app using settings, copied my songs to:
"Internal storage=>data=>com.google.android.music" and still NADA!
i've entered the folder itself using file manager - from there i can play the files using GPM.
After a while i thought using a different music app so i've downloaded poweramps - the exact same phenomenon.
from the app itself its not showing any music, directly from the folder using file manager the app plays the song.
i went back to the settings=>apps and made sure that both application has storage permissions.
reset the permission just in case, re-opened the apps and gave the permissions when prompted - Issue remains.
so i've downloaded VLC and here is the kicker!
By selecting Audio i get "no media files found"
If i go to the menu of the app=>directories=>data=>com.google.android.music i can see all of my 320 songs and i can play any one of them.
However! if i try to choose that folder as a prefered music folder by:
menu=>preferences=>directories=>SAME PATH=> Directory is empty!!
How is that possible?!?!
of course i tried moving all the songs to a different folder "Internal storage=>Music" and nothing.
I am at a loss, this is really wrecking my brains here
The phone is new!(minus the 2 months that i have him)
Please assist

Try wiping Data from 'Media Storage' in your Apps list. Restart phone and see if it helped.
Couldn't find the "media storage" that you were referring to so I downloaded "media rescan" and accessed it from there.
Deleted the data and rebooted the phone.
Didn't work
What if you just move the files to a folder in the main directory of the internal storage? Google Play Music can see my files just fine, with my MP3's in a couple different folders in the main directory.
Thanks for the reply
Already tried that by putting them in "storage ==>Music"
Unfortunately it didnt work...
