Hey, I am having trouble with VLC for Android on my EE Kestrel (Huawei G535), I was fed up with Google Play music, it was driving me crazy to be frank, so I have started using VLC as my main music player and so far it seems to be doing a wonderful job, nice UI, full of features, and it doesn't seem to lose 20gb of music like Play Music does, however that is also where the problem lies, the amount of music I have, over 25gb of it, stuck on a class 10 32gb Micro SD card. Whenever I slide from the left in VLC and enter the 'Audio' view, VLC seems to lock up for as much as half a minute and it is really starting to bug me, other than this I love the player and would happily use it but I am afraid I may have to find another player if I cannot get this issue solved, when I enter the 'Artists' tab VLC locks up for a while, when it frees up again the scrolling and everything is really smooth, I can select an artist, it'll show all of their albums no trouble, entering the 'Now Playing' bit works fine too, select a song, it plays, tap the bottom bar and it shows you what is playing along with some pretty panning album artwork, very nice! However when I tap the back button to go back to the 'Artists'/'Albums'/'Songs' view it locks up again, I am not sure if this is an issue with VLC or if it is just the sheer amount of music I have, I'm pretty sure it isn't my device because it used to do it on my tablet too if I had a 32gb card in (different memory card so it isn't that either), one thing I must give to Play Music is that it always seems to load all of my music almost instantly, why does VLC take so long, please help, any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a screenshot, as you can see it has locked up as the side pane is closing
Thanks in advance!

I have been running gTabComb for a month now and love it...however I have been experiencing difficulties with video playback. Regular websites, using Opera, work fine with playing flash video.
However, with an app called, Crunchroll for Anime videos, along with various flv and mp4 files on qq player, the videos appear "magnified." They play as if on a large screen and only a portion of the top of the video appears. Since flashing gTabComb, Crunchroll worked without problem, then started acting in this manner with no changes to the system.
I have uninstalled/re-installed the software to no avail. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change any settings with this to get these videos to play correctly--without having to go back to vegantab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a Crunchyroll user, there is a work around to get it to demagnify. What you do is start the video you want to look at, while it is playing, press the home button (either the physical button on the side or the one on the screen). Then on the screen press the button that shows you all the programs that are open (They will show as small thumbnails of the running programs). Press the thumbnail of Crunchyroll. It will restart the video but this time it will fit to the screen.
I don't now how I figured this out, but it works. And if you are watching a lot of back to back videos on CR, usually you can watch whatever is next without having to do this. But sometimes that's not always the case.
I haven't tried this on other videos that do this but, if it works on one, I don't see why it couldn't work that way with others.
The new Music app has the Music Square feature that for the life of god I cannot figure out how to get working. I understand you're supposed to press a square and generally get a personalised playlist out of it, but any attempt of interacting with the square just tells me that 'Selected list is empty'. Anybody else running into the same issues?
Same here...
Hi guys,
I realized that it will only recognize your songs if you stored it in your phone instead of memory card.
If anyone find the ways to make it work for songs in memory card, please share!!
Thanks in advance.
sooo - i had the same problem and that's how i fixed it go to music player, than choose musicsquare after that press the options Touchbutton and choose "update library" - after it is done the music square should run perfectly
I do not have a SD card so do not know if the issue with recognizing songs only in internal memory is only with your device since i can not test it ... sorry
Did not work for me. I have alot of music on my 64GB card...so much for that...maybe it'll be in the update.
It's working fine for me, including the songs from the external SD.
All I did was from the Music Square tab I updated the library.
Music square>Menu button>Library Update>Done!
music square has ruined my life
i cant get this thing to work at all and i doubt anyone else with a sizeable music collection can. for all those people saying put your music in the phone memory - where is the stuff from the phone memory going to go? the purpose of an sd card is to store your media on so that you dont fill your phone.

My songs are in my 64gb microSD card. Music square is now updating
Worked for me on External SD
Hi Guys: just downloaded over 300 songs from my Amazon Cloud player and transferred them via USB to my SD card under what Windows Explorer called "SCH-I535" (with small mobile phone icon) and the Card-->Music. I copied all the folders.
Then started the Samsung Music Player and the Music Square found all of the songs and analysed them for where they sat within the four axis. Very interesting app--since it's my music, this is a cool way to get a bit of a surprise of what pressing a square will bring. But it did miscacluate one of my driving trance songs as "calm".
An S3 reviewer said this about it: "You can drag your finger across the squares to choose a 'progressive' playlist based on your mood...this is a really nice way of making a playlist from your tunes." So I dragged my finger in a square and it presented a list of 22 songs that "matched" these squares moods.
At first it didn't start working for me when I first bought the phone, but since I updated to LFB, Music Square works.
I have about 3000 songs on a 32gb. I have it under Music folder on the fat32 card. In the music square screen, press menu and select update library and it does a one time scan and that's it.
I have approx 64GB SDCARD and also 16GB music on my phone and it works perfectly with Music square, you have to have minimum of 25 songs on the phone, select update library rfom the menu on the music square page and all will be good to go
yaay for music square... not ... its quite a cool idea but i dont think it works that great. not worth the fuss if im honest. just make your own playlists! i do like samsungs music player though. very clean and easy to use. never crashed on me. never had any problems with it
It's working for me. I select update library every time I add new songs.
But it did stop playing after a number of songs, so I need to select play again.
I like this feature, it just needs to be enhanced.:good:

I have about 1000 songs on my 32 gb sd card. I have run the update library, it then works, for a while then randomly stops, run the update, works again!!
This can be in the space of 1 hour!
Any ideas?
Honestly, music square is not always working properly and alot is mistaken and play songs that are not related to the mood at all and personally I hate when it plays a song that not works wirh my mood which frustrate me , like sometimes I play smooth tunes while having a nap on my ride in bus and suddenly it turns to play some hard tune that differ from mood I selected so I honestly prefer creating my own playlists by myself.

I recently bought a Sony Xperia U
It works perfect i love it however when it comes to music its a disaster i tried everything factor release, remove sim , battery , update software.. For some reason when i play my music on music player or any other media player for example MX player or Double twist after 3 minutes exactly of sound music it turns off like it crashes for few minutes it goes black and then it turns on and when it does i cant enter those media applications because they crash immediately..
I tried many experiments like trying with different songs.. different kbs.. but nothing seems to work.. however I tried to see if the issue is the music and its not... i played videos on youtube.... and even my own videos i even turned the radio on and it lasts how much you want it never switched off... This issue wasn't occuring on day 1 after day 1 it happened..
What can i do please help because i just bought it and i would love to find the issue before sending it again to the seller since i bought it from internet.. How can i hear my music on my player? Also whats the best way to transfer music from pc to mobille.. do i just put the music on the xperia u? because their isn't any music folder..
Sometime it crashes when i enter play store also or try to change my live wallpaper..
Thanks alot please reply
you could make a new folder called music and then drag-and-drop it with windows explorer. That is what I did with my xperia s.
I think there is something really wrong with your phone, it shouldn't act like that when playing music. Do you have the same result with other tasks? like playing video's?
I think that you should discuss it with the reseller.

Please help if anyone had anything similar or knows anything..
I have downloaded some mp3 files on my phone, the problem is that some mp3 files after I download wont go to a certain time stamp. For example: this song is 5 minutes long and its playing on my music player, I want that song to go at [3:51] in the song duration, but it instead redirects the time stamp at [1:13] when I press on the song duration bar and(where you press play and skip). Since they don't want to go at the time stamp( example [3:51]) that I wish for, I tried it on my computer and the files played fine when I played it on Groove Music and went to that actual time stamp like it should. And I noticed that this app "Music Speed Changer" can also go the actual time stamp but my normal music player wont let me do that. So I want to know if there are any apps that can go to the desired time stamp that's also a music player that has playlists, genres category etc. or if there are any alternate solutions. Btw I have a theory that this happens bc of of the phone I use bc its 6 years old, idk if this problem only occurs on older phones, and work fine on newer models.
Overall I just want this complex coding within the music speed player that lets my files play at any time stamp on my normal music player, as that one seems to lack the coding commands that let it play at any timestamp regardless of the mp3 file.
Also I would post a link to a video displaying the problem but I'm new so the website won't let me atm.

I would recommend you to download a new music player, if that's the case.
There's a bunch of good and free music players, such as: VLC (also plays videos), Google Play Music, BlackPlayer Music Player, Spotify, etc.
Hi all, I'm running a Huwawei P smart, and got fed up with the default player, so started using Musicolet (after trying several). I like the feature of being able to select a folder and play everything in that, rather than just an album, or artist, or playlist, or all music.
However the default action of the phone was to load the use the inbuilt player, even after I set my chosen one to be default. After locating a thread on here, I stopped the storage access for the default player, which is great. It no longer loads.
But I do not seem to be able to get musicolet to auto load and play when I press my headset play button. Once loaded all works fine, but if i pause music, after a few minutes my player unloads itself.
As I ride a motorbike, it's a pain to have to remove glove, unzip, get the phone out, load the player, the put everything back, all because I say stopped for fuel and paused the player.
Any idea's how to get a new player to auto load?
Thanks.
