[Q] PROBLEM* Sounds from apps are in the Music Player?

Hi,
I have the HTC Desire HD and downloaded some games. Now most of the sounds from the games and apps are played in the music player.
I saw on other posts that you can hide the folders or something like that, but those answers were for other phones and I don't know how to fix this problem on the DHD.
Please help me, since I don't want all these sounds to be playing when listening to music.
(I don't have any knowledge of android so step by step instructions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated)
THx!

after you put a .nomedia file in a folder, you must reboot before it disapears from the media player

Now I have another problem. I went to download the app but when I went to play a game today on the DHD the phone froze (I think because of the bad game I just downloaded) and it was a bit laggy and then I restarted the phone and deleted the game.
After doing so, I went to the Music player and it says: "No Music Found"
but I do have a lot of music on my SD card.
The problems has nothing to do with the app I downloaded because I still didn't open the app and everything happened before I downloaded the app.
SO now I don't have any music in the player to choose which one to hide.
I already restarted the phone 5 times and removed the SD card to see if that's the problem, but still the same.
Please if you can help me, let me know! or if this has to be moved to a new Thread or topic let me know.

That is strange. I had also some pictures of a game in the gallery.
So I created a .nomedia.txt file and put it on my sd card.
Then I renamed it with ES File explorer to .nomedia and put it into the folder the pictures are. Now the gallery doesn't search in this folder but my game is still working.
Edit: Maybe you created the .nomedia File in the wrong folder.

Hi,
I didn't use the app yet. So now there is nothing in my Gallery it says" no photos or video found and it says the same in the Music player.
Please someone help me.
Should I open a new thread?
Or can you guys help me in here also?
Let me know asap!

is your sd card working fine?, i mean are the files all threre? maybe your card is corrupt

All the files are there :S
If I use the eFile Manager App, I can see all the music picture and videos on the sd card and play the music only one by one when using the eFile Manager app. But otherwise I think the gallery is not scanning my phone to see all the music, videos and pictures on the phone or it stopped scanning.
What should I do?

[Q] Trouble with music albuns on Arc

Sometimes when I transfer a music folder containing an album to my arc, the music player divides the album in two. I have checked the music's mp3 tag and everything seems ok. It's really annoying. I'm using 2.3.3. Anyone is having this problem ??

Yes I have this problem as well also using 2.3.3 I tried making sure they all have the same art then restarted never worked but. It just splits my albums into 2 with the exact same name not all but quite a few.

You can ask if it doesn't get yours fixed, mine did:

[Q]Problem with music app

I am using stock ICS 4.0.4 (updated to latest), and i am facing problem with album art. I have added to half of my songs on phone album art today (which didn't have any album art), and phone still doesn't recognize them. I tried clearing cache and app data, and deleting and re-copying music and still nothing. Has anyone had simmilar problem?
Thanx in advance!

WARNING: Backup all things that you want: contacts, apps etc.
If you have a root + CWM you can do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset (which clears all data and resets your phone back to default, this option can be found in the phone without root or CWM)
2. Wipe cache partition (formats the cache, which is like a folder that stores information & data of apps etc.)
(OPTIONAL) Wipe dalvik cache
if you're using iTunes and adding album art from that/or from a folder and adding album art to the music via properties then you should have no problem moving the music into your SD card > music.

Actually i lost root when i updated to 587, but after that i had some problems cause i have removed a lot of stock apps, and it wasn't working properly so i did factory reset. Yesterday i used nice program mp3tag (freeware), and added album art on pretty much every song. I cleared app data in settings>apps and it did manage to read some of the tags, but much of them are just same tag that doesn't fit. (and it is even more anoying than no album art)
It wasnt helpful but thanx anyway, maybe someone else will know whats going on...

Same problem here. Artworks disappear. You should reboot your phone or remove ur music folder, reboot then copy it again by PC. I tried and it worked sometimes.

I have always had problems with album art with the android music player even on my previous phone (htc wildfire). I purchased the app mixzing from the playstore and this works brilliantly. I also tried tagging all the individual tracks using mp3tag but this only worked sometimes. I am currently using a modified stock Rom which uses the walkman player from the Xperia s. This seems to work much better with the individually tagged tracks but still has problems with albumart inside folders.
Hope this is of some help.

Actually that with deleting and re-copying solution is the best for me, cause after that it managed to read some more album arts, but still many are left bad. I did found that many people are having same problem and that there is no good solution to this, its just the shi**y player...

[Q] can i remove the original music player ?

hey,
I installed power amp but when there is lock screen it shows first the original music player.
On the original music player there are no settings at all. and i tried the poweramp settings but for no help.
my last option that i can think of is to remove the original music player, or at least to freeze it.
is it plausible?
If it is, which file i should delete\freeze ?
And can it harm something else ??

Go to poweramp settings and make sure lock screen widget is enabled. Also make sure that the stock music player is playing.
You can only delete/freeze/disable the default music player if you're rooted.

yeah, the lock screen is enabled. but why do i need the stock music to play ?
and yes, my phone is rooted.

You should be able to remove the default music player with titanium backup. Not sure if it will affect anything else though.
You can make a backup of the app before removing just in case you need to restore it again

I have never had problems with uninstalling the stock music app with titanium backup.

Oops, meant not playing
Maybe the stock music player is switching on when you play, and you're getting the default lock screen widget instead of whatever you want.
If you're rooted, then titanium, su/terminal commands, and plenty of other apps will help delete stock music.

thanks guys.
My Q is what is the name of the app freeze\delete ?
Cuz i cant find it. i freeze couple of apps but it wont help.
maybe something lockscreen app ?

Not sure what rom you are using, but beware of deleting music.apk as on gingerbread roms deleting music.apk also deletes the video player, im not sure if there are separate apk's with regards to ICS or JB, so you may wish to look in to that prior to deleting music..

connect your phone to pc/mac go to command line/terminal and type:
adb shell rm /system/app/Music.apk
you must have adb installed. in ICS and JB it does not delete the video capability. Some ROMs come without GoogleMusic and video works just fine. However, as far as I remember there is an option to turn off the default player in lockscreen.

root your phone, and then use something like root explorer and find the apk file and remove it

otrfse UNIX
i do this with every rom i flash. never had an issue.

Music issue on MOAR v8

I recently did a clean install of MOAR v8.0 from v6.1 and have noticed that all the System .ui sounds ( .ogg ) are in the music folder in the My Files app., which means that they are also sent to the Music Player app. So when I was driving home yesterday and streaming the music through BT, all the system sounds like Alert_on_call.....Cam_Stop and all the others....plus all the sucky music like Birdsong, Fairy Fountain and such will start playing.
I have tried to delete them from the Music Player and the My Files apps, but they will not delete. I have also tried to move the files from the My File app to another folder, but they will still remain in the Music File.
Also, in the Astro File Manager, when I select the Music folder....none of the system files show up.
I have read and searched through the MOAR thread, but can't find an answer and I can't post there asking this, but How do I move the sound files ( .ogg ) so that they will not play in the Music Player app?

Well after 3 more downloads and clean installs.....it seemed to work itself out....I do still have the 'hangout' sounds in there. I can deal wit that for now though. :cyclops:

If you download a music player from play store like poweramp etc you can specify your music folders to play from and then you wont get system sounds

Yeah hangouts itself puts it in there, not much you can do about that
If you delete it, it will just keep coming back, but you can make a ".nomedia" file in there (without quotes of course) and it won't show up when you go to play your music (basically tells the media scanner to skip that folder)

Yea....I tried several different players but they all played the System Sounds. I did move my playlist to the external card and n7 player worked fine. Thanks

Haha....I didn't even think about .nomedia.
I read soooooooooooo many threads, posts and different topics on a lot of different forums that my head spins. LOL
So far I haven't heard the hangouts beeps, but if I do it's fine........I mainly wanted all the stupid samsung crappy songs/ringtones out of there.
I just ordered an AN-21 U about 2 hours ago, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528349 ...... so hopefully I won't need to use my phone for music after next week. :fingers-crossed:
OhYea......THANKS for all you have contributed to MOAR !!!!
