[Q] Xperia S won't work with Notpod - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

When I click on 'new device' in order to locate the music folder on my Xperia S, it's greyed out because the phone does not show up as 'Removable Disk'.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks

[Q] Problem with ICS's Walkman app

Hey guys!
I'm facing some problems with the official Speria S Walkman player. Every time i put some new music from my PC to the phone, the app never shows the new music, and if i delete some tracks, the app will still show the tracks i've already deleted from the device.
Someone know what can i do in this case?
Go to setting > app > all > media storage .. and then clear data
try this, it works on my LWW

Well, youre right... it take so long to load all of the musics on the list after deleting media transfer data but at least it works..
Hope someone can find another way that more easier and faster.

Is there a way to prevent the LED from going on while charging the tablet? I've played around with the app LightFlow but haven't suceeded so far (admittedly wasn't trying too hard).

A small piece of black electrical tape will quickly solve your problem.
Hi there, first time posting.
This is my first Android device (Phone runs Nokia N9) so I'm sort of going in blind with Android but I think I've picked things up for the most part easily enough.
I've got the 16gb edition rooted the device, mounted a couple of folders (massive collection on the marvel comic app) onto a Sandisk 64gb external SD. Those files seem to be fine.
I've found that if I try to save files straight to the external SD (showing as SDCard1 when I use rootbrowser) or I try to copy files from sdcard to sdcard1 using rootbrowser then those files just disappear.
Case in point: I used UTorrent to download a video, which would not play from the external card, however if I save it to SDCard it plays no problem. If I then try to copy said file to SDCard1 using rootbrowser it just disappears.
I've also noticed that certain files I save to SDcard1 disappear upon restarting the tablet.
Could this be a permissions issue? Does Android traditionally have trouble writing files to external SD cards?
Hopefully I have given enough info
Thanks
Thanks for the advice, I was looking for a way to disable it via software though as otherwise I would have to peel the tape off everytime I want to get notifications.

No Android otherwise doesn't have an issue with writing files to the external sd... This is a firmware bug I guess!
I don't know the actual reason sorry

Cheers. Perhaps I shall reformat the card, see what happens.
Another noobish question: I haven't figured how to (always) activate sync for my Google account. When I go to the account on Settings - Accounts - Google it says "Sync is OFF" and I can find no way to make the sync always being on. E.g. on my Galaxy Nexus that refresh symbol is always green and I get Gmail notifications instantly, I would love that on my XTZ. Can someone help me out?
Stealth edit: the settings in the top right of the screenshot just give me the option to "sync now".

Thank you for that hint, that also was what I originally thought and tried because that's how it would work on the Galaxy Nexus as well. But it appears that there are no checkboxes to check there, here, I'll add a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/WE1sOWH.png
Any ideas?

Thanks mate, I just found the solution: I figured they might want me to settle that directly from the app and apparently I was right. I just went to Gmail - Settings - "my google adress" - Data usage and then I switched "Gmail sync is OFF" to "Gmail sync is ON". By doing that I hads to check a box called "Auto-sync data" and then, when I clicked my email adress, was linked to the settings page. Suddenly the checkboxes we were talking before appeared and all were checked and so far, they are still there and auto sync is working (green refresh symbol).
Edit: it still is very slow when syncing Gmail (it's not my connection, tested that). Anyone else got that issue?

I experience a similar dilemma which I solved by running the Gmail app and going into its settings for my email account and setting Sync Gmail to ON there, after which I went back to the tablet's Accounts settings for my Google email account and found sync was turned ON.
Okay, so I've gotten the external SD semi working, but very haphazardly. I've noticed that in root there are 3 directories containing the sd cards: storage, in root and mnt, as well as ext-card. Does it matter which of these I am copying files to?
just trying to get to the bottom of why copying from the internal to the external sd is causing me problems..

AFAIK, You have an internal SD Card, an external SD Card..
the ext-sd is showing because you may have partitioned the External SD Card :/
As far as I can see, it shouldn't be. I formatted it exFaT, and in each folder I only see sdcard and sdcard1, but they appear in the root, /storage AND /mnt in my file browser. I'm just wondering if it matters which of these directories I copy into. I seem to have confused myself on a fundamental level with this.
could also be the sd card....
Excuse the double post:
Turns out the card was a fake, which explains everything. I've gone and got a Samsung HX 64gb today, so problem solved!
The fake card was branded HC, which isn't even possible for a Sandisk apparently. You live and learn!

[Q] SD card problems Desire C & Xperia Miro

Hi there and HEEEEELP!
I recently bought 2 x 16gb microSD to upgrade a Desire C and Xperia Miro, and am since having no end of problems.
First of all, the Desire C RANDOMLY decides that it no longer sees the sd card. have copied to and tried 3 different cards and it wont pick any of them up. apps, pics and music... all gone have tried factory reset as well but still no luck
Then... The Xperia Miro sees new pictures saved to it, but nothing from the SD card. (in both cases) the files are showing when i view via laptop. but not when i access for example the walkman. any files it does see have a duration of 00.00
PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING US CRAZY
Thank you in advance
HTC I don't know maybe damaged but in xperia What about file explorer? can you open sd card with file manager. ? Walkman & album have some problems sometimes like not showing nothing. Just needs reloading or smth like this....

Download ES file manager and go to SD card >Whatsapp >images then create a file with this name ".nomedia" and done, remember this file will prevent all the content from that folder to appear in gallery and If you no longer want to hide Whatsapp files erase this nomedia file (it will be hidden so you should mark the see hidden files button in the left menu of the app)

Dont know about that see if it is in another folder and do the same
Add a .nomedia file in the Whatsapp folder to stop making sony media apps detecting stuff there. If you can't find a .nomedia file on your device, just google it and download one

Sony Album app ignoring .nomedia

I have recently become very frustrated with the Sony Album app. I simply want to prevent my whatsapp images to appear in the Sony Album app.
A while back on my Z3 and XZ I was able to add a .nomedia file on both the Whatsapp folder on the Internal storage and SD card storage and it seemed to be working. Ever since I got my XZ1 no matter whether a .nomedia file is present in the images/video folder, it still shows pictures in the Sony Album app.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I got use to the Sony Album app and would hate to replace it with something else.
Regards
Hi,
I have also tried the nomedia without success...
Waiting for a workaround too.
