[Q] Song Titles in Chinese letters - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

In moving my music from Samsung Epic 4G Touch to my new Note, well over a thousand of my song titles as well as artists names are in Chinese which of course creates problems playing the songs I want to hear. When I take the SD card out and put it in another phone they read normally. Any ideas or thoughts on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Your post isn't very clear, are you suggesting that you can't see chinese characters in the title and artist names on your phone? Or are you suggesting that when the songs are added to your note the titles and artists turn into chinese characters??

Correct, turned into Chinese characters which I can't read. About 20% and all songs added at same time, same day, same source.

Could you perhaps post a screenshot, it just sounds very far-fetched and I can't really imagine what this looks like.

I'm having a very similar issue with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i.
I copied Chinese songs from my laptop to the memory card, and then insert into the phone but the song titles appear as garbage on the phone. I also tried copying the songs by connecting the phone to my laptop, and sending from bluetooth, but the results is the same, the Chinese song titles appear as garbage.
But when I put the memory card into my laptop and other laptops, the song titles in Chinese appear are normal Chinese characters.
There is no problems with song titles in English characters.
The issue is the same whether I set the phone language to English or Chinese.

[RANT] Listen up Google!

Hello everybody!
So with all the hype of ICS source being released, there are a few things I think Google is overlooking BIG TIME!
Forgive me if you don't agree or don't care for that matter.
First. I am really digging the new Google Music app as well as the addition of the music store being added to the market. But my question to Google would be, why use your music store vs. ITunes on my CPU? There is no music management system for Google, which in my opinion is a huge short fall. I understand that Google is really hitting the cloud hard, but what if I don't want my new purchases or any music in the cloud? Manually dragging and dropping music files is a pain in the @ss. I guess my frustrations revolve mostly around their web based music player than the music app. Drop the web based music player and release an application. Make it easy for android users to flawlessly sync their phone with their CPU and CPU with the cloud. Make it easy to sync my music and playlists.
And dude what's up with your LAME music widget? Seriously? You make this beautiful UI, built from the ground up and you dont even have the decency to revamp your music widget... Com'on man!
Second. Again this is attention to detail, why did you not update the ui in the clock app? It doesn't match the ICS ui at all. It didn't even match with GB for that matter.
Don't get me wrong, I love android and Google but there are just a few things (IMHO) that need to really be tended to.
I guess that's all for now.
Good day.
I agree. Thats why I still use iTunes. Best music manager to me.
Temari x Shikamaru
Since we're on the google music kick... anyone notice you can't make individual songs available offline in the app? You can only do artists or albums (though, I really only tried from the artist view)...
And yes, they do need to redo the widget. I'm not so interested in a standalone music player for pc, though I do see the need for better pc-android syncing.
If you purchase the song, and you play it or make it available offline, you can listen to the local cached version.
No drag and drop, it's just there.

I get that, and it does work well. It's the music that is not synced to the cloud has to be manually drag/drooped to the phone. There needs to be a better music management system.

Completely off-topic, but more people should know this:
CPU ≠ Computer.
The CPU is an extremely small part of a computer, it stands for Central Processing Unit, and is the brain of a computer, but again, is NOT the computer itself.

Edit:
By the way, I completely agree with this entire post, btw. Closest I've come to an iTunes-like experience has been DoubleTwist, and has worked well for me. Give it a shot, if you like iTunes then this is the Android equivalent.
This is Google 101 my friend..Make a product that works and pretty it up at a later date..Its been like this for years..They worry about the aesthetics later on..They are just a bunch of engineers with no eye for ease of use or appealing UI.
I'm sure they will throw a coat of paint on it in the future.

Thanks for the clarification
I have used numerous apps, including double twist. While double twist has its perks, there needs to be a native android music management system. The problem with using other music apps is that you can't utilize there cloud. And with that it's annoying having to use two separate apps to accomplish what should be done with one. It seems redundant having to download an alternative app.
Also when you purchase music from the market its automatically stored "in the cloud". But when you select to download it to your phone from the music app, where does it save it to? MIUI music can't find any of my purchased music, nor can I using a file explorer. TIA.

Holy hell, you guys using itune or apple at all, that's a sin 'round here. You get burned at the stake for that. You should be embarrassed of your sinful admition.
Jk, but really using apple products, for shame feeding the beast. All your complaints will be fixed in due time.
Well Linux has a stand alone google music app. And everything is accessible from the browser in any OS. So I somewhat agree. I really don't know what the problem is but uploading music from a computer to google music is painfully slow. I 100% agree about the clock app and the music widget though. Everytime I set an alarm I cringe at the ugly UI lol

All I'm trying to her across is it would be nice to have some sort of iTunes type media management system to sync music, movies, shows, ringtones etc... Until then I don't foresee Google taking over the music market. ITunes works and works well (sorry to say it) and people have been using it for years.

If you could just download the songs to your SD card and use any music player or release an api to allow apps like HTC music to use your Google music account. I hate having another music app because of this.

Some it may be Google's agreements with the big record labels. I mean they make it virtually impossible to pull music you've downloaded from the store to a pc. But yes google needs to understand that although in the coming years the 'cloud' and tablets may be peoples only form of computing but until then and if they want to be successful now they need to make stand alone applications that is as robust as iTunes is for computers.

I don't like itunes its incredibly over rated. There is nothing standout about it, plus it provides advertising and revinue for apple. I would rather use a folder on my desktop for arranging my music than use itunes.

Reading mp3s from an ipod on the prime

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has found a decent music player that can read files by their tags on the prime. The reason for asking is, this feature would allow one to plug their ipod in, mount it, and then have access to all the songs on there.
When most places review music apps, they don't include this. Has anyone tried it, or can they recommend an app they think will work?
Its like dejavu, I swear I just read this.

It does Japanese too. I think there is a patch or something to get it working though. But I'm positive it works because I was hunting the Japanese firmware for it and saw a thing about Japanese display on Sony Japan website.

Hi!

I think the device only plays MP3 & Wav playback via micro SD card!
So iTunes music is not playable?
I also need to check if folders with subfolders are OK.. For example, I have Utada Hikaru albums by name in the folder called Utada Hkaru..
More checking to do tomorrow!

Folders with subfolders should be fine. Only problem is it won't recognize more than 4gb on the card which is utter bull**** and something which sony needs to fix. Otherwise I like mine quite a lot. I have it paired with my Nexus 7 and Xperia S and it makes the sound much better for both. Sony has a media app which should convert the music. Not sure what itunes uses, i thought it used mp3 but I dont use it so I dont know.
Hi mrsatan,
I think iTunes uses MPEG-4 audio files. name.m4a but not too bother about that because I have paied with my Xperia T and Xperia Tablet S
The written information that came with the headset says up to a 32gb memory card can be used.
On your Xperia S do you use the apps - display or read the sms messages, emails, calendar events etc? On my Xperia T I do, and if I pull down the notification screen, I can access different apps, which I downloaded from the lay Store.
I have attached some screen shots.
On my Xperia Tablet S, I seem to be able to do all of those things too and have downloaded apps, but I cannot find the same menu's on the tablet that are on the Xperia T!
Guess I am missing something obvious!
I am enjoying the headset very much!

It says 32gb but it doesn't work with it yet. Hopefully Sony actually releases a firmware update to fix things. You need to download liveware manager on your tablet to get that menu.
Hi mrsatan!
I hope so too! Sony seems to be a bit slow with their updates!
I did download Livewire Manager, now called Smart Connect and the apps for GMail, Mail Calendar etc, but when I connect the headset, I do not see a small headset icon in the top right corner of the Tablet's screen. The Xperia T phone has this icon.
I will experiment more this afternoon!
Thanks!
EDIT... I re-paired the Xperia Tablet to the headset and the small icon appeared. Pressing the icon gave me the menus, so all sorted now!

Yeah it can be a bit finnicky. Especially if you use the sd card mode and then try to change songs on the phone.
Hi everyone!
My Windows 8 PC does not see my Sony Smart Headset Wireless Pro... I recently upgraded from Windows 7..
I have re-installed the firmware for the headset and tried connecting it with the usb cable with the headset switched off and also with the headset switched on..
I have also rebooted the PC..
I was hoping to transfer music using Sony PC Companion. I do know that I can just use a card read and transfer from the PC that way, but I get the feeling that PC Companion would convert my iTunes files to MP3's.
Any advice welcomed.

Spotify app?

What I would like to have is a nice Spotify app for the Gear Fit.
The media manager doesnt show which song is playing etc. It works for the songs played from the media player on the phone ofc but not as well with Spotify.
What i would like to be able to do:
Chose Playlist
Add songs to favourites / other playlists
See an icon with the artist like on spotify (maybe as background for the app/clock while music is playing?)
(Being able to search for music maybe isnt needed , it would be to bothersome, better pick up the phone)
Also i have a qustion about the built in memory in the Gear Fit , would it be possible to create an app which would make it possible to use the watch as a standalone medie device? like if youre going to work and dont want to bring your phone with you.
Ex: Download a spotify playlist and play it from the watch directly to bluetooth speakers or something
The real question would be how much memory the Gear Fit has , and if we can access it.
Best Regards / Christoffer
P.S If you are experienced in programming these apps, please be so kind a send me a mail , would like to learn how to make my own apps for this watch and maybe could be of help if needed Do have earlier programming experience, third year computer science engineer.
