I am unable to see any music files on music players such as Google Play, Apollo and the RR music app. Since all these apps scan for files automatically (supposedly), there isnt a manual option to add files into their libraries. How can I get the music apps to show the music files?

Phone won't wake up from sleep
I had this problem with rr 3.0.6 and was hoping that 3.8 would fix it but not luck. Basically whenever I leave my phone unused for a long time and try to wake it up by either pressing the home button or the power button the phone won't wake up. I can tell that it's on as the proximity sensor glows a faint red. The only way to wake the phone up is to restart it. However it takes a long time to shut it down. I have to hold the power button for a while as the phone is completely unresponsive. The problem was really severe at first and my phone would think the battery is empty until I restart it. I cleared the battery stats in recovery mode and now it happens less frequently. I use my phone as an alarm clock and the phone goes unresponsive over night so its a bit of problem. Any ideas on how to fix this or is there anyone else having this issue?

You use wipe Data when you install 3.8?, maybe you need return to stock ICS using ODIN

Hi guys!
I noticed over quite a time, that while I leave my phone charging over the night, any random notofication will cause the screen to stay on until I wake up and manually turn it off.
On my galaxy s2 I have VillainRom 2.1.0 (Android 2.3.4) with ninpho's 2.0.4 kernel.
However I did notice the problem before with VR 1.4 and CF-Root kernel (didn't use anything else yet), so I figure it might not be related to this.
This is rather annoying, as I don't want any burn in effects on my screen, but there's a much worse part about it:
It's noch 100% limited to the time of being charged. If I remove the charger at 100%, play around a little with the phone and then go to sleep, some random notification (whatsapp/sms etc.) will still cause the phone to wake up and not go back to sleep mode.
What happens is, I wake up with a phone at 50% battery (at it's best!), or I don't even wake up because my phone is dead and therefore my alarm clock stays quiet..
I read about some people having this problem with their SGS1 and it might help to go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> uncheck Stay awake.
SGS2 does not have this "stay awake" option (or I'm seriously stupid)..
Anyone an idea what I might want to try?
Best greetings, Alex
At that screen I have "Standby" and you need to have it unchecked. Also, what's your screen-off delay? You don't have any apps like screebl keeping you screen on, I assume?

You're problem sounds similar to mine.

mine just started doing it. i have been running custom rom for awhile now.
apps recently installed:
words free
launcher pro 806
extended controls
impossible level game
I have uninstalled:
words free
impossible level game
my issue is still happening.
when unplugged screen turns off.
I can get a text, it will light up then turn back off.
when plugged in (charging)
display will not turn off unless i press the lock button.
if i get a text the screen turns back on and stays on unless i press the lock button again.
I have recently re-flashed, complete wipe of phone and factory reset wipe.
I still have the screen on when charging and no option to disable.
I need an option to disable the "stay awake"
As my fault occurs with the phone completely reset on a stock rom it must be hardware so I am going to return it and see what happens from there.
I have flashed CM7 and there is an option to turn stay awake off.
This option is removed in DarkyRom.
Finally figured out how to turn it on or off!!!!
install the app extended controls and add stake awake as a toggle.
Turn it off!!!
then remove app
FINALLY!
weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
Ok, so i recently exchanged my SGS 1 to an SGS 2 and now i have a weird problem:
right away i flashed SlimIcs 4.2 , everything went fine and the rom was working like it should , but then i noticed that when my phones screen is off and its in idle, the screen lights up every 1minute or so by itself.
I also noticed that it stays in idle normally when charging the phone or when listening to music which seems odd ..
I tried changing the kernel to Siyah and Dorimanx, neither helped
I disabled android logger, disabled wifi and wifi notifications, tried to find a rogue app by using Airblocker app.. No go .
Im running out of ideas, has anyone had this annoying problem? it wouldnt even bother me, but ofcourse its eating my battery up by preventing my phone to sleep properly.
I would really appreciate some help to get my new phone up and running!
Download GSam battery monitor from play store and select app usage. then at the top, select app sucker and a drop down box will appear. Then select "view number of times waking device".
It should then show what app is waking it up.
But after you installed the app, wait half an hour or so, so it can get a reading.

Thanks for the fast reply! i will try this and report back the readings!
Ok. I installed the app, juicedefender and 2x battery were on the top of the list.. so i deleted them but the problem continues.. ideas?
Umm. There is a way to put the phone into safe mode. It boots up without the apps you downloaded. Maybe try that and see if it is an app that's causing it.
I'm just about to find out How to put into safe mode.
Edit: 1. Switch off the phone by pressing on the Power button.
2. Then turn the phone back on, while it is turning on press and hold the Menu button.
3. Now continue to hold*the Menu button until you see the Home screen. On the home screen you see it say Safe Mode on the left hand corner.

I once got into it by-mistake once.
Think it was by repeatedly pressing the menu button when the bootanimation starts
EDIT: Seems I got a bit late when replying
i cant manage to get into safe mode.. but weird as it is, the phone doesnt turn the screen off so often than before.. got a 1%/ h drain last night.. but it still does it. Soo frustrating -.-
I downloaded BetterBatteryStats , and will run a few tests, i will report back tommorrow
To put into safe mode, hold menu soft key soon as the boot animation begins. Then release when phone is fully booted.

Just cant get it to boot in safemode.. i have a feeling that the phone has some other issues too cause, when i turn it off it wont go off , only reboot back. Anyways, i managed to produce a log with BetterBatteryStats app.. if anyone with knowledge could take a look
EDIT: I have pretty muched solved the draining problem from over 4%/h to 1%/h , my screen is still waking up now and then, but it doesnt bother me since my drain is good. Thanks for everyone who helped me get this phone working like it should!
Hi, as the status says, the phone fails to wake up when it's in deep sleep. This occurs randomly but at least once a day. I sometimes have to press the home button tens of times to wake up the phone and even then it only sometimes does. What's also strange is that whenever a call comes, it takes about 5 to 7 seconds for the screen to light up.

No tweaks of any kind besides using Greenify
Hoping to hear from the people who can help ASAP
Thank you in advance
Go back to stock and test, if the problem vanishes then flash one change at a time and test after each.
I am unable to wake the phone during a call. As soon as I answer a call, or press the call button my screen turns off. I can not wake it with proximity sensor, double tap or power button. There is literally no way to turn on the screen once a call has started. It was random when it started. I had been using Vanir for a while and then one day it started on my phone, and never left. I have even flashed my OG nandroid stock and the issue was present there after flashing to that.
I have swapped ROMs, AOSP x4, BarRin, Stock, you name it, but to no avail. I have cleared everything off my internal, wiped the internal memory, sideloaded a ROM back from scratch and booted up plain jane... same issue.
I am attaching a link to a logcat incase anybody has any ideas. I'm simply lost with this, and it is a major issue considering every time I make a call I have to be ready to take the case off so that I have faster access to pop the back off and battery pull. This is not a way to live.
PLEASE if someone has any ideas on how/where to go about fixing this, I will be grateful.
Not sure if it matters, but after a call ends, I need to wait about 5 or secs before the power button will be recognized. After it's first press it seems to first power off the screen, as though it is awake the whole time, but black and inoperable. After the screen thinks it's off, the second press turns it back on. I have also tried other dialers too, but it totally seems like an integrated OS/Firmware issue at this point.
Are you by chance running Greenify? I was having some issues when sleeping system apps. What Xposed modules are you currently running?

Sorry a bit tired. I just noticed you stated it still happens after you nandroid back to your previous backup. Do you have a screen protector or anything on it?
Try going to Settings/Call and disable the proximity sensor and see if you have the same results
It's not the sensor though b/c it has 0 results with the double tap to wake and also the power hardware button itself. Holding the button, pressing it quickly, tap it multiple times in a row. Additionally, I do not have a screen protector.
