So idk how many ppl are into hiphop but jay z and samsung collaborated and created the magna carta holy grail app. To give his new album out to the first 1mil samsung galaxy s3, s4 & note 2 users. I got the app and took my lunch at 12am. 3rd shift and it wouldnt load at all. Just kept doing the circle thing. I was wondering if anyone was actually able to download the album. None of my friends were able to either. It just did the same thing mine did.

Didn't work for me, or I'm missing something. Says it downloaded. Had a progress bar and all. Even downloaded individual songs after that. Won't play in the app, and I've used a file explorer and dug through every crevice in my device. Can't find a thing.
Please advise, loyal Hov supporters.
P.S. been a fan since Reasonable Doubt, although if you're an old school fan, I'd recommend checking out the 9-minute freestyle with Big L. Style is different and he murders it. Check it out.

I moved the files but on my phone it was in the internal memory inside a music folder... once I found it I pointed winamp at that folder and was able to listen to the album
edit= u could check "my files" then "music".. could be there

Same thing happened to me. Says it's downloaded, but there isn't a trace of it on my device.
I even opened the Samsung Music Player, and nothing.
When I go back to the app to try and download each song it freezes, then force closes.
my players didn't recognize the files until I moved them and rebooted

I couldn't find them for awhile so I downloaded a media scanner app and ran it then it showed up in my music player.

Finally got it to download.
After numerous failed attempts I went to Application Manager > Downloaded > Jay Z Magna Carta
I then clicked on Clear Data & Clear Cache.
I re-opened the app and it allowed me to re-download the album.
In hopes of finding the files, they were still not present.
I then opened ES File Explorer and viewed all files and folder based on the date they were modified.
I erased the Music Folder, along with all folders within scard0/Android/data that were dated today and associated with Samsung in any way.
There was even a folder (can't remember the entire name), but it was in regards to docs and something about PIN files do no edit.
I erased that as well.
I then restarted the app, re-downloaded the album, and all of the files were added to sdcard0/Music

Had similar problems. I tried downloading it for almost an hour. I just ended up downloading the album from "another source" & popping it onto my sd card. Took all of 5 minutes. Sad, real sad.

For those of you who would like to run Audiogalaxy but seem to have issues connecting:
- download the hosts file from /system/etc
- open it in a text editor
- remove the references (there are often 2) to Audiogalaxy
- replace!
Seems that most of the hosts files used in custom ROMs have Audiogalaxy listed from their filesharing days.
I just noticed this fix is detailed elsewhere, but I thought I would throw it in here for the fascinate owners. Feel free to move this if it needs to go elsewhere.
Happened to me as well. Looked in my host files and found nothing. So I got adfree. Updated the databases, then reverted and rebooted. Worked like a charm.

what ROM are you on? and how did you open the host file? when i opened it on the phone via text-editor, i saw no audiogalaxy, but did see it on the computer.
Can someone please post the apk for this app. I can't download from the market for some reason!

I copied and pasted to sd card then fixed it and moved it back with file explorer. Make sure you reboot though.
Anyone know if there is a way to keep the songs playing? After one song it stops for me. NVM, got it.

Hi, Im pretty new at the whole rooting thing but I believe I have most of the simple parts down. I am running the stock thunderbolt rom with S-off and rooted, also debloated. Everything has been running smoothly but when I flash new ROMs to test them out, I've noticed each time a new one is flashing the text when it is flashing displays how much space my SD card has left on it, this number has diminished drastically sense I flashed my first ROM. I was wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned, looking for a fix for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Download and install esfile explorer.
Run goto menu ,settings about 2/3 down the page check root explorer, I leave mount system unchecked until I need to write to it.
Go back to main page
Click menu then manager , then sd card analyst. It will scan sdcard and sort by size largest down.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what's happening, but every time I use Astro to move files, after a while they vanish.
I've searched and not found an answer, I don't know if it's Astro or a phone issue.
Xperia S using stock NL .73 ROM.
I've tried moving using copy and move, into new folders and existing ones, if I look straight after they are there, after a while they're gone.
Not got anything installed that I can think of like A/V etc.
Any ideas?

No idea but it has happened to me on occasion with astro, on unrooted stock .67 (stupid o2)
I use a different file browser now because i kept losing pictures. Shame really because i really like astro.
Try using ES File Explorer I've used this for ages and never had a problem, it's a free one from the play store

Another good thing about ES File Explorer is that you can connect to your box account and batch upload, plus you can connect to your pc via wifi

I never had files missing from the phone, but from the Windows Explorer after moving them on the phone.
For example, when I renamed the Video folder to Videos, nothing showed up. When moving the files back to the Video folder, they immediately showed up again.

For mine, I have moved my apks to the SDcard (for those that can be moved) and sometimes the apks will go missing. They will only re-appear when I do a reboot. Strange.

Known issue and is off-topic to this thread.
I advice XPlorer by LonelyCatGames.
Ever since going to CM10.2 several months ago, whenever I try to specify music folders on my SD card (internal and external) in Poweramp I just get a never ending scan and the folders never show up (see screenshot). This also happens on any other AOSP 4.3/CM10.2 based ROMs. Anyone else out there using Poweramp have similar issues and did you find a fix? I tried the fixes suggested on the app developers site like reformatting the card or upgrading to a newer build but no dice. The autoscan will eventually find the folders so I can play music on my phone but it also incorporates ALL the folders and files on my phone that have any kind of media files which I don't want.
Edit: can't seem to upload the screenshot. Just a spinning circle in the dialog box. Sure your imagination will be sufficient.

Titanium your Power Amp settings and then wipe the app's data and cache. See if that helps

Hi guys,
I'm having problem getting music that I downloaded from play store to show up on walkman.
I tried a suggestion from a post I found on google, opt to download music to external sd card. I can actually find the file I downloaded from play store on sd card under android/com.google.android.music/files/music, but it just won't show up on walkman's library.
Does anyone have an idea about what might be wrong? Thanks!

Well it's hidden so you shouldn't be able to delete it. You could potentially delete it by using a file manager but it could cause issues with play music. Also play music doesn't download the files with conventional file names. The metadata is not stored with the song so in any other music app such as Walkman all the music will look completely wrong such as wrong title album, art etc.

You can try Play Music Exporter if you have root.
If you have root then use GMusicFS

Just download the song to your pc and then drag it into the music folder on the Z2. Walkman will then see it.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately my phone is not rooted and I'm not really willing to do that.
And, yes, I know I can just download it from a computer and put it on my phone, but I don't understand why would Google want to make things complicated like that. It's just really annoying! Just switched from an iPhone to Xperia not long ago. I must say I really miss 'everything just works' on my iPhone.
Yes the limited features of an iPhone do just work. The same features just work on Android. What you're requiring is user preference. Just use play music its a great app especially when used with all access

Actually, I'm not just referring to this. There have been a lot of problems with the phone since I got it. Luckily, there is no gap or anything physical like some other people are experiencing with their phones.
The screen is way too sensitive, hovering my fingers on the screen can even be registered as a touch. it was annoying at the beginning but now I'm getting used to it.
I got the Australian version of Xperia Z2. While a lot of countries have already got updated to 17.1.1, mine is still sitting at 17.1. I had to backup the phone and then flash the German firmware myself. I could not understand why don't Sony just simply release the update worldwide at once and everyone will be happy!
I backed up the phone via Sony companion. However, when I tried to restore all my contents...Guess what? First try, it stuck in the middle and progress indicator did not move for hours. Second time, I had to untick the 'others' to let it at least finish the restore, which means all my app data could not be restored. Even after that, it still couldn't get the job done properly. After the restore was finished, the app was telling me my contacts and settings cannot be restored. Third time, messages restore was successful, but settings and messages cannot be restored...the funny thing is, messages were successfully restored during the second time, but failed in the third time...I just...grrrrrrrr! Finally I gave up and decided to set up every thing on my phone manually after wasting my whole day on this. (If you know any backup app that works well, please let me know. the Sony one is absolutely pathetic!)
Also, I cannot seem to get the MP4 files to play properly on my phone, they have no sound for whatever reason.
While I enjoy the active noise cancelling without dragging an extra brick around, I don't really think I will get another Sony or any android phone when I upgrade next time.
To be fair, it was just you being inpatient that started that ball rolling. The ota won't be long, and then all the backup restore problems wouldn't be needed. I never backup anything, I just set it up again when needed, mostly it is in the cloud anyways. Not sure about the mp4s, everything thrown at it so far has been fine

Yes I was inpatient, because I thought the new update would fix the screen issue and it did. The Australian version wasn't even getting the .69 update, so I assumed this one would take a long time to get released as well.
Even without this whole update thing, I would still want a functional backup/restore system in place. The reason why I would want to backup my phone is that I like carrying all the app data to my new phone or keeping data when I have to restore the phone for whatever reason. Google's app data sync doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't seem to restore anything but reinstalling app I installed before. All my progress in games, messages in whatsapp and viber are all gone.
My friend had the same problem with his account not syncing with Google also, he lost his contacts every time he flashed. I've never had that problem with android ever. It might be worth looking into why it's not working, it's android/google not Sony tho. I always used titanium backup, but I'm not looking to root this phone, just because it already works exactly as I want straight out the box, from battery life to battery%. Have a look on google play, there will be other backup solutions that may work better for you.
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Yea I tried some of them and none of those seem to work like the iTunes. Oh well.. I will just live with it for now.
Btw, under google account it says app data is being synced...hopefully it's actually working now.
