[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakatisbak:
Same issue on Samsung Droid Charge

Hi,

I have had my Samsung Charge since it came out. That problem has always persisted on my device. I find it extremely frustrating as the point of a smart phone is that it is multiple devices. I would like this to be my main music player as well since it has an external 32gb SD card and so can hold quite a bit of music.

I am not a developer (I do do technical support), just decided I am trying to figure out - AGAIN - why it does this. I just downloaded a trial of PowerAmp. Don't know if this might help you figure out the problem. Power Amp shows my synced playlists from Windows Media Player not as a Playlist but as a music folder under folders. So far I have synced just one playlist as a test. In the folder in powerAmp, it is in the correct order. In the stock music player it is in reversed order.

I paused in typing, and after syncing multiple playlists at one shot, the list in Poweramp is garbled. The first try created a single folder with all the songs from the playlist in correct order. Now with the sync of multiple lists, I do have a couple like above but the rest either didn't come across or the music came across but not the playlist. The stock music player also has just some not all of the playlists I synced. The music is all in reverse order.

To me this suggest that problem is with the implementation of the sync on the device itself, given you have the same issue. My guess is it reads and writes the playlist from bottom up. I think there is also a burrering problem since it never seems to bring all my lists over and if that happens only some of the music.

Hope this helps, would like very much to know if you find a solution. Samsung is close to losing me as a customer over this. I care less about browsing and connectivity and more about multi functionality. A music player that works is important to me, and am considering an HTC or maybe even an IPhone (!!!) next time around just because of this - and my next upgrade is in 60 days. I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS SAMSUNG!!!

Hi Oliver,

Just discovered that my Amazon MP3 cloud player has all my playlists I just synced (except one) and the songs are all in the correct order. This is confounding to me as I previously had the same reversed order issue in this player. Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I went into the file system dorectly and deleted all the contents from themusic related folders before doing the sync for that one then multiple lists. Not sure what happened with that one list, might be related to the fact that it is a custom CD mix ( old school club music, I need the beats for running!). Am going to try syncing that list as I really like the music that's on it. This would seem to contradict my thinking above though. Seems the issue is with the Samsung stock music itself, not the sync. HTC/Apple here I come...

Galaxy stock mp3 Player

I have Samsung Fascinate and it has the same problem with stock mp3 music player. Songs on playlist are reversed. I also tried a few other players but they are not convenient.

So as previous says we can use Amazon mp3 player and widget. It works good for me. It remembers when I paused and even after reboot. So decided use it. It doesn't interfere with other programs (I use in my car navigation app - Navigon). So its very convenient listen music and have navigation.

:)Just update Stickmount app...:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Yes, me too. Great news. Now I need to find an updated music player that can find the external mount point for the playlist (music folder). Dice (Cubed) player and Google Music don't seem to find the music, but I can read/write to external microsd or thumbdrive. If I click on a song in the external Music folder, it plays, but just stops after the song finishes. Anyone found a player that sees the external music?

Hi All,

I'm planning to get the Nokia 920. I've had Samsung Focus (original) since WP7 first launched and have many apps that I've bought.

How does it work upgrading from WP7.5 to WP8?

I know somewhere online on the WP7 site, there is a list of all apps. Is there an easy way to re-download those apps or do I have to search and download them individually? Also, what about other stuff on the phone?

Is there an easy way to back-up and upgrade to Nokia 920?

I've heard about WP8 not supporting Zune and am kind of confused how it works.

Has anybody here upgraded from 7.5 to WP8?
[Nokia Lumia 920] KhaymanOIF09:
You can redownload your apps from the web. when you goto your previous purchase's you can "send to phone" in order for it to redownload on the phone.
[Nokia Lumia 920] SimzzDev:
Also, for purchases you can click buy on the phone as if you were going to buy it again and it will give it to you again for free.
[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
As far as Zune, Zune has died. Its been replaced in part by Xbox Music. If you had a Zune Pass, it converted to an XBOX Music pass. You can check out the details over at Xbox.com/music.

WP8 does not use Zune to sync anymore. Its a convoluted method but there are multiple ways to get music over to your phone. They involve a new( but not better) content syncing app, and the Cloud.

In general, all your old content should play ok from Zune to Xbox and onto the phone. Some people have had problems and MS is looking into what resolution are available.

Phone updates are now handled OTA and do not require being plugged into an app....that we know of yet.

The general concept of Xbox music is ok. With Cloud based streaming, and availability across all devices, its a good idea. Implementation has been...less than awesome, yet. I've had very few problems with it...but some people have...

Anyway, in general, you shouldn't have a problem.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Montastic:
I see that online on the WP7 website, it shows my WP7 purchases - unfortunately, it doesn't load up all the apps that I have downloaded. Seems like it shows on the paid apps. I have a bunch of free apps and it would be a major pain to try and find them all and install them again on the new phone.

Anybody find a better way to do this?

Hi,

I'm using Bluestacks on my PC and I would like to update an app but Google Play is telling me that the app is "not available in your country". The first version was ok but only the update has this.

Is there any solution to change the country detected when using Bluestacks ?

I found Market Enabler but I would prefer not to pay just for that, and I don't know how it would work on Bluestacks.

I tried syncing with my phone but the app is not showing in Cloud Connect. The app cannot be moved to SD Card either, to protect against copy.

Anyone can help me ?

Thanks (and sorry for my english if I've made mistakes)

Setting a manual time zone within the Bluestacks settings seems to fix the problem.

You must get a root app which supports your mobile. If it doesnt it may cause permanent harm to you phone. You are lucky it didnt harm your phone because i had my mobile nearly permanently bricked. Mostly changes or model of phone or firmware is the problem in rooting, etc.

After that i install twrp, "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf300t-ICS.blob" package, with

su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

then i reboot to recovery and tried to install CM10, but it bootloop.

i tried to install CM9 but it is stuck in bootanimation...

can tou help me?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First I need to tell you that you had an ICS bootloader (cm9) and tried to flash a JB bootloader (cm10). That is the reason for your troubles. You can't mix bootloaders and roms. As long as you are on ICS you can only use ICS roms, same for JB if you later update to JB.

Can you get back into twrp, the bootloader menu with access to fastboot and adb, etc? Does adb work, fastboot?

If any of that is available then flash ICS 9.4.3.30, you will loose twrp but should have a working unit. If you are unsure about how to do this then please ask before trying.
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
I've been looking for an app which organizes pdfs and epub documents and has a reader in-built.

I know iOS has iBooks and I own Samsung Galaxy Tab which had eBooks app - you can see all the recently opened files and it lets you open them too.

Is there anything similar for Surface? What are you guys using for PDFs?

I've tried PDF Touch, Freda, Overdrive Console etc but haven't found them up to the mark.

Thanks!

PS: I don't see a forum for posting Surface Q/A, so I posted it here.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
PDFs open natively and the reader buit into the SAurface is actually pretty good IMO- Annotations, highlights etc. I open large Pdfs from the insurance industry and it does the trick so far..

Regarding a general ebook reader, I am not impressed with anything yet as far as being able to import in my own epubs (as opposed to Kindle and Nook, Kobo, etc which only let you read their conten)t - I have Freda installed and its just so so - It uses the Calibre ebook management system on a desktop Pc which is a hassle, and as far as I can tell there is no way to remove books from Freda once imported in - Not too many features

it seems like the ebook readers are always a hassle on these types of devices (same form my Android) - You always need to have like 3 of them loaded to cover everything if you have your own epubs, and other formats
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
The inbuilt reader is okay but not many features. I wish I could choose highlight colors.

On my Galaxy Tab, I have ezPDF reader - what I like is that it shows the recently opened file on a bookshelf. I don't care about the skeuomorphism but it would be nice to be able to see bunch of recently opened files.

On a side note, is there some setting where it asks me what program to open the PDF each time I try to open a PDF file? I know how to set the default program but depending on what I'm doing, I like to use different programs.
[Microsoft Surface] beestee:
We should all contact the maker of Mantano Reader to petition for a WinRT port. The premium version is the best pdf/epub reader I have found for any mobile device yet.
[Microsoft Surface] Jim Chapman:
There will be a couple of further releases in the next weeks - adding various features (including the one you mention - removing imported ebooks). In the current version, you don't need to use Calibre - you can also use a filesystem/SkyDrive browser, and Freda does register itself as able to open EPUB and FB2 - so you can open them direct from internet/file explorer.

I've posted more info on the Freda development roadmap here.
[Microsoft Surface] beestee:
I have run into this while using your app and it is a great feature! Yours is the best epub reader available for the SurfaceRT, and I will be keeping an eye on it.
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Thanks for the info! Freda is currently my favorite epub reader.

Is highlighting supported for epubs?
[Microsoft Surface] Jim Chapman:
Well, once the next release passes through Microsoft certification (in the next few days if we are lucky) it will support bookmarks/annotations - so you can select a word, and associate some annotation text with it. Bookmarked words are shown with a diamond-shaped tag, rather than a highlight stripe, though. I have been looking at a feature that would let you select several words or a whole block of text for highlighting, but it's tricky to get right (mainly because the UI for selecting text is complicated).
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure what kind of use case others have, but for me, highlighting is pretty important. I have PDF and epub versions of the same periodical and the only reason I go to PDF is so that I can highlight text.

Thanks for your effort though - Freda is an awesome app and I'm sure it will get better with your continued effort.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
Hello,

I had my phone rooted and on the last stock ICS ROM. I wanted to install CWM so I downloaded the app from the Play store and hit the install recovery button. I chose the Epic 4g as it was the closest device to mine. Now when I go into recovery I get a strange looking recover multi CSC version? Very few choices and whenever I try to flash a zip they always fail authentication. PC Odin does not recognize the phone. What can I do to either get ODIN back or the real CWM? Thanks.

I don't see any other option.

Whats up with so many new bricks?? Why don't you all read and ask before doing stupid things? There are NO apps that install ANYTHING like that to our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
OP, can you post more details as to how you got that recovery?

This is good information for others to avoid having problems, honestly.

(And if CWM site is saying that it works someone should kindly inform them that it does not.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
The funny thing is I can use the phone. It works fine except that since the TAR file of FK09 did not install the modem I have no 3g but do have 4G and WIFI. If I am able to root the phone I should be able to use Mobile Odin again to install the modem file. We shall see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Only 2 ways to flash a modem are CWM and PC Odin.

If you're already on FK09 try flashing the Rooted nodata version and see if that gets you back where you need to be.

You'll lose CWM but that may not be for too long.

You can always flash one of Agat's CWM repacks for ICS, backup/restore and then flash back the stock FK09 kernel via Odin for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
picture of recovery screen

I have attached a picture of what the recovery screen looks like on my E4GT. It doesn't matter if I try to update from external sdcard or through ADB Sideload command, everything fails signature verification. Thanks for all of the help so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
That is stock recovery. I am not sure if flashing the ota update zip would work or not.

What os version were you on before this happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
ICS 4.0.4 (FI27?) the stock rooted OTA. I had root so I ended up using Mobile ODIN to flash the KJ09 tar file but it didn't bring the modem so I have no 3g.

I saw something about version 2e not having the signature check. I need to find a properly signed modem.bin or how to downgrade my phone to 2e.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
Sorry this seems to be really obvious question, but Did you try flashing a kernel/recovery through mobile Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
Unfortunately since I no longer have root I can't use it. Does anyone know if the standard recovery can be downgraded to 2e?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Flashing a one click restore pkg will correct the recovery... which honestly looks like the FJ10 JB engineering build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
ODIN will not see the phone when it is in the standard recovery screen. I can ADB to it but 3e has signature verification and none of the files I have downloaded have proper signatures so they all fail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
You have to be in Odin mode not recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
I appreciate everyone's attempts at helping me so I will lay out where my phone is at this momen:

ODIN recovery no longer exists on my phone. When I hold down vol down+power the phone boots up normally - NO ODIN

The recovery that does come up is the Android Standard Recovery 3e which has signature validation turned on - this makes all of the files fail since they are not properly signed.

I am trying to find a way to downgrade the Standard recovery to 2e (no signature verification) or see if signature verification can be turned off in 3e.

I am hoping that getting any of the official Sprint update files might help as those should be signed.

Thanks in advance to all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Thanks for the update.

1) Any luck with a USB jig?

2) Any luck trying 'reboot download' from ADB and seeing if that will get you to ODIN?

If memory serves.. and you're really stuck on recovery as the only option you're going to need to find a way to dump an update.zip onto the phone to get anything to flash. And here's the tricky part - I think it needs to be in a certain location. There are custom .ZIPs that have signatures on them - crawj might even be able to help with that.

If we can't get you to Odin then let's figure out how you can use the recovery to do that... recover. But let's hope we can find you a way to get into Odin one way or another.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
I think qbking77 has a video on how to update with a link that only work with stock recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
1. I don't know what the USB jig is, where can i find info on that?

2. I have tried that from ADB and it simply reboots the phone into the OS. Seems there is no ODIN to be found on the phone.

Where would I find signed Zip files to try to restore to FI27? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Wait... You can get into the system?

Then why not download the Mobile Odin Lite (free here on XDA), flash Agat's 0.6.0 repack and then crawj's FI27 rooted .ZIP through Agat's recovery?

That should not only fix the Odin problem but everything else!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
Tried that, Mobile Odin won't work because I don't have root.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piedra92:
I got cannot open for write: Permission Denied after each step in post 2. If I enter adb reboot recovery the phone does reboot and goes back into the standard recovery 3e.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
ah. duh. you dont have root. Im trying to figure out another way but not sure yet.

The only thing I can think of (besides JTAG) is to actually use a sprint signed update.zip. Im not sure if it would work but I know the JB update has different partitions and such so im guessing that it will repartition your device and potentially work correctly. Something like the leaked JB builds here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

Doesn't matter which one, you just want to get this back to a 'normal' state. Im kinda guessing that this may work but it can't hurt anything more than it already is. The worst that happens in the update.zip fails. You need to rename those tars to update.zip and put in the root of the sdcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Did you try ever root option in mobile odin like someone before posted?

Edit: You have to buy the app from play store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
