[Q] Is there a way to delete downloaded music info? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had hundreds of mp3's on my phone and recently while using the walkman, I clicked on the "download music info" option. Unfortunately, this got the right info for several tracks, but screwed up the details on many other tracks. Is there a way to delete or undo this without having to re-tramsfer all my tacks again?

Try, settings, apps, Walkman, clear data, clear cache.

yeah tried that just now and also did the same for the visualizer and then restarted the phone. Track info is still the same. I'm worried that even if I delete the folders and re-transfer my music, it might still use the updated incorrect info.

Omega 7.1 Sound issues SMS

I have tried installing omega 7.1 about 8 times now following the following instructions to install it.
- backup settings (call log, sms etc.) via samsung
- butch backup user apps via TitaniumBackup ( backup all user apps with their settings)
- backup TouchWiz home via TitaniumBackup
- create TitaniumBackup update.zip
- full wipe (as recommended in the OP)
- flash Omega using Default installation
- start android
- setup samsung account and restore settings (call log, sms etc.)
- skip google setup
- reboot to recovery and flash TitaniumBackup update.zip
- butch restore user apps via TitaniumBackup
- restore TouchWiz home (only data) via TitaniumBackup
- setup google accounts
- setup mail accounts
The ROM install goes well, fully functional and my settings back as they were, my problem is that I prefer to have the stock toggles on the drop down menu. When I revert them to stock with the Omega file kitchen files I do indeed get my stock toggles back and fully functional. But after doing that my SMS sounds are sometimes none existent, by this i mean that when receiving an sms with the screen locked the screen lights up and the sms envelope appears at the top on the status bar but there is no sound or vibration, I have toggled the notification icon in the toggles and it is green, i have even tried re toggling it to no avail. I have noticed though that it seems like all system sounds have gone too when this happens, so then I check all of the sounds settings and they are all fine, then all of a sudden sounds kick in again, weird? this is not happening on the stock ROM because I have tested it a few times between trying to suss this problem out. So when the sounds come back again I try again and it does the same thing. Its impossible to have transferred any settings as I started system settings from new each time. I know you will say "well don't revert the toggles to stock" but I am pretty sure that one of my tries that it happened before doing that,
Can anyone help, or is anyone else having the same issues when reverting to stock toggles?
I've had the same problem for a very long time...with all roms....the only way I fixed the issue was not using titanium back up and starting from scratch? For some reason titanium back up corrupts the files .....I instead imported everything from gmail

Were you able to have backups of you apps from any method? I have lots of infor stored in my apps that I cant really lose. and did titanium corrupt even if you didnt save any system settings, just apps and app data?
Like I said, I started from scratch....which meant I lost app data....I also tried just adding just my contacts....still the same issues....one thing I didn't try was just adding the apps....give it a go.

Might be better to carry out a normal TB backup to external sd card not update zip .

OK, I just tried a totally fresh install of omega 7.1 I downloaded all of the apps direct from google play, I deleted all of the titanium backups just so they couldnt get in the way. i didnt touch the rom from its default and I am still getting the problems with sms sound, I did a system wipe factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik and formatted system partition, I didnt even change anything back to stock in omega, just left it as it comes, so then i reinstalled my stock rooted backup and it works perfectly again. weird

Syiah kernel had some problem with omega rom and sound, if i recall well...
If you're using Syahkernel, update to the latest beta.
I use it in miui with no problem.

So can i put this kernel into omega 7.1?? Im a noob at this
I have cured this issue now, Omega 8.1 has been released, so just to make sure that I didnt transfer any bad settings over I did it all from scratch, I also un-checked google backup initially incase there were any bad settings / back up in there too, and I did not use nor install titanium backup. after installing everything step by step I tested the sms sounds in numerous ways and not it works perfectly, the rom is nice and smooth too, so if anyone has problems with SMS sounds then grab the omega v8.1 rom, thank to everyone for your suggestions.

Can't Sign into Google account, and 'no connection' in play store!

I don't know what to do. At first my play store said no connection, so I signed out of my google account. After that, when I press the play store button it asks me to sign in, but when I do, it says "can't establish a reliable connection to the server."
My internet is fine, how do I fix this? I am lost.
Rooted? If so, have you tried to clean cache and reboot? That helped me once. If your not rooted try clearing app data thru settings. Then reboot.

Have you had this problem with a specific ROM?
I'm running the stock touch wiz, if that's what you mean
Have you tried to change your network mode, then change it back. Also, turning airplane mode off/on?
I just tried turning airplane mode on them off again. And I tried connecting on both my home wifi and on 4g. No luck though.
I was looking around online and one site said that it could have to do with the time on my phone. When I look though the time is correct

Have you tried to uninstall the Google apps and re install?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I downloaded the Google play app again last night, but that didn't work. Should I do the same with all the Google apps, but un install them before downloading them again?
And I think Google play music still works for some reason. YouTube, Gmail and Google play are the ones that I'm having an issue with.
Edit:my play music still has all of my accounts stations
You might try removing your google account and re-adding it.
I am signed out of my account. When I go into settings and look at accounts, I am not signed into a Google account, and if I try to sign in I get the same screen I posted on the last page. I don't get how my play music is still signed in
Don't sign out, remove the account totally from settings.
I think it is completely removed. It prompts me to either add an existing account or a new one.
I made a video to show my problem. In the first part, I show clearing app data in the settings. Then I show what happens when I try to sign into google play or gmail. After that shows that youtube and chrome are signed in, and the same goes for google play music.
Afterwards I show how there is no google account signed in in the settings.

O well.. you got me. The only thing I would try next would be a factory reset.
How do I use titanium backup to restore my apps if I lose my root when I do a factory reset
I don't think you will loose root just by doing a factory reset. But, to make sure you can install a root keeper app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ.. to make sure.

No data or wifi connection

I'll try to keep this brief.
My wife and I both have stock standard HTC Aria's running Android 2.2. A few days ago my wife complained that her battery was discharging really fast. Then a day later mine started doing the same thing.Going flat in a few hours of standby. Normally at the end of the day they would both still have 8 out or ten bars still lit. I turned off wifi, mobile and bluetooth on both phones and that seemed to fix the battery problem.
Now when I turn on wifi or 3g I cant connect at all. My wifi router shows up in settings but it constantly is scanning-connecting-disconnecting. Also cant connect to 3g.
I have tried another sim card but the problem is the same.
As I said, these phone aren't rooted in any way. Have very few apps. Basically used as a phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe you can try a new battery. Or, if you still have warranty, give it back to service.

Thanks dansou but the problem is not the battery. I believe the power was draining because an app was trying , constantly, to access the wifi which will not connect.

Just did a factory reset and everything seems ok.
Just one other problem: When I log in to google play it is showing that I have 2 apps installed (airdroid and astro) These are no longer on my phone but google doesn't want to believe that. I've tried to trash them and tried installing them but nothing happens. It just says "These apps will be un/installed shortly"
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You may have already tried this, but maybe a reboot would do the trick. If rebooting doesn't help, you can use a file manager to take a look into Data>Apps or System>Apps and see if you can find their .apk files there and delete them. If you aren't rooted, you won't be able to delete them, and I'm not sure what you should do if that happens. If they aren't there, then it's probably just a graphical glitch and is showing what really isn't there.
EDIT: Sorry, I read your post wrong. Go into the app details of Google Play Store and select both clear data and clear cache, and that should solve the problem. If not, try rebooting.

Oh my bad, I wasn't really clear about that. It's actually in your phone settings, not the settings in the Play Store.
So you open up Play Store in 'Manage Applications' as if you were trying to uninstall it. In that menu, you'll see options like Force Stop/Disable. Scroll down, and you'll see the 'Clear data' and 'Clear cache' options, and there ya go. I hope I explained it well.

If it's showing that only on the website, you shouldn't have to worry about it... It does that
It's probably showing them for the "old" one, before you did a factory reset

Oh I see now. I'm sorry, I thought you were saying that the phone was showing it.
Like WinSuk said, I don't see the problem if it's only showing it on the website. It could be showing what's installed on your wife's Aria if you two are sharing an account.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit confused here.
The apps that I mentioned; Airdroid, Astro, google play etc are showing as being installed on the google play web site. These apps are no longer on my phone after I did the factory reset. Therefore I have no way to reinstall the apps as google play is telling me they are already installed.
Is there another way to do this? Can I dl the apk files from somewhere else and install them manually?
Thanks again for all your help

You don't have the Play Store installed on your phone? If that's the case, you need to search up on google to find the apk file for it. Once you do that, you should be able to install the other apps you've mentioned.
Sorry if I misunderstood you again. I'm getting pretty confused here also.

Update:
I managed to install airdroid and Astro through Android Market app (was that the precursor to play store?)
Now when I log in to google play it shows those two apps as installed. Everything else is showing in "other apps in my library" waiting to be installed. I think I'll leave it at that. My airdroid is working again :good:

Yep, the Android Market was renamed to the Google Play Store.
It'll eventually update automatically on your phone and change back to the Play Store

Having issues with loading images and file names

Okay, so all of a sudden my 4.2 rooted odex stock Galaxy S4 is doing a few weird things. First of all, no matter which music player I use, the media server will load the FILE NAME and not the song name (see images). Also, the Play Store won't load icons for some of the apps in the store (also an image).
To try to fix these problems, I've tried restoring, clearing both caches, force stopping the media server, using different media players, and sideloading a newer version of the store. None of these have fixed the problems. I'd appreciate any ideas or fixes, they're incredibly irritating.

Not sure if this will help your specific issue, but one thing you didn't mention trying - which can help a lot sometimes - is 'Clear Data'. Specifically, go to Manage Apps, and for any app where you're seeing fishy results, select the app, hit 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data. Make sure you 'slide' over to 'All' apps and not just 'Downloaded' so you can clear out some system app data if needed. Do this for whatever apps you think might be relevant, then boot to recovery and clear cache to be sure
You can try it with your music players, with the Media Storage app (system app), Play Store, etc.
Caution though - after you do this, some apps will require you to provide new login credentials, may require you to reset synchronization links, etc., etc. Most of these are small nuisances, but I'd make a nandroid or TiBu all your apps+data first to be sure.
I've tried that. Thanks though. I'm wondering if it's not related to something I accidentally froze.

FIXED. I had set Boat Browser to cache to my sd card in the hopes of creating a sort of Browser2Ram type thing, just out of curiosity. It was screwing with the media server. Reason unknown.

[Q] Instant Mixes removed from Play Music App?

I seem to be missing the Instant Mix on Google Play Music on my Nexus 7 as well as on my Nexus 4. Has Google changed anything here or am i doing something wrong. The Instant Mix Tab is gone and when clicking the 3 buttons next to a song the option is missing as well. On my Desktop i still have them though!
Any Ideas?

Same problem here. Also, if I browse settings with in the Play Music app, it's really really really basic. I seem to have lost all functionality in the app. I'm also missing all album artwork, but the website shows everything there. I tried clearing cache and app data but nothing works.

I figured it out, Google broke Play Music in the latest 5.2 update. Revert back to 5.1 and it works perfectly fine.

oh crap, I came here looking for an answer on "how to get rid of Instant fricken mixes" on Android/PC ... PC is with a chrome extension that sometimes works/sometimes doesn't ... and I swear I've seen a "hide instant mixes" button in the google play app... but not anymore!
WTF google, nobody cares! cmonnnnn
