It scans your SD card for new media files/pictures/videos. You can turn it off if your'e rooted by using rescan root from play store, but if you do, you're files may not be updated if you move them, add more, or remove them. Another member has stated that sandisk cards were causing media server wakelocks and draining the battery no matter what was on it or what file system it was formatted as so keep that in mind.

Thanks I am not rooted ,completely stock.

Gallery drains my battery

Hey guys does anyone else have the problem where stock gallery version 4.1.1 drains my note 2 battery. I am not sure why but i t seems to be on for no reason. I am stock with wind mobile waiting for 4.1.2 update which should be 2 weeks away.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. Ive read on the forum that there might be a bad image file thats causing the gallery app to keep running. So what I did is I delete all the pictures I have on tje phone and started fresh. Since then I havent seen gallery took so much of off the battery.

What I did is first go to manage apps. Head down to media storage and clear data. Reboot phone. See if that works. If not then I have backed up both sd cards to pc. Cleared both and formatted them and put it all back on reboot the phone and ur golden.

Ok so I have formatted sd card as well as did a hard reset on my phone. This seems to work for now. I will report if the gallery starts acting up again. Thanks guys.My battery is doing much better today.

Jay-Z's Magna Carta

Just curious, who here installed the app from the PlayStore?
Do we get the copy on original release date or do we get early tracks?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Well the application should give you the album. But it will be available on the Internet eventually

Does anyone know a way that we can extract the downloaded content? Reason I'm asking is because I want to hear it from Poweramp as I have preset EQs in there.

How did you even get it to work? Mine just stays stuck at the opening screen and nothing happens. It used to have a bunch of demos and stuff. Now, nothing.

This app is another representation on how the man will control you. This app does nothing but harvest your data, sell it to the appropriate entities and not allow you to play how you want. The music industry is trying to pull a quick one on you. Extract the APK if you dont believe me. I personally will stick to other ways to get my music free
We did just get a whole album for free.......right?

Just wait foe the boot screen to finish. It is a poorly-built app.

I see you saying this, but what data does it harvest. What are you seeing in the decompile app that proves this? I don't even have the app in just curious why your making these claims and very broad claims too.

It doesnt even take that level of investigation. It's just common sense
THIS APPLICATION HAS ACCESS TO THE FOLLOWING:
YOUR LOCATION
APPROXIMATE LOCATION (NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your approximate location. This location is derived by location services using network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine approximately where you are.
PRECISE LOCATION (GPS AND NETWORK-BASED)
Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.
NETWORK COMMUNICATION
FULL NETWORK ACCESS
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call.
STORAGE
MODIFY OR DELETE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR USB STORAGE
Allows the app to write to the USB storage.
YOUR APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device.

Why would an application intended to come to "Samsung Galaxy* fans first " need this much info?

Usually a different browser will work.
Or search play store for a downloader, it will strictly download the link you put in.
If it's a rom, just download on pc

Hello sir, try changing the settings in the browser to where actual files are downloaded to. If it says save to memory card change to internal, or vise versa. Hope it helps. The option is "default storage"

What files from what app? This is sort of like calling a mechanic and telling him your car won't start, then asking him to fix it over the phone. Please give more details. Also did you try any of the browser suggested?

What rom....and what apps2sd scripts are you using if any ?
Changes you've made recently have caused this ???
Updates perhaps ???
My thoughts are leaning toward applications that point to downloads being force placed to external storage...
And the default is internal storage..
Something is likely causing a conflict in the mapping before the download starts...
If you are not opposed to testing, you should revert to a known rom setup that worked..
Or if needed...restore the device totally if the issue cannot be found...
Scripts are often hard to track down ...and I think one of them...or at least parts are present that prevent the correct mapping to occur...
Just my thought at 3 a.m.
So go easy on me....LOL...g

Help Upgrading to 4.3

I'm currently on 4.2.2 using SlimBean. I tried to upgrade to 4.3 using Odin and it softbricked my phone, and took almost all night of going in circles getting it to come back (my boyfriend walked me through it, and saved it, phew). I don't know where to go from here or how to go about it without screwing anything up like last time.. can anyone help? D: (I'm also pretty newbie at this, I'm sorry. D: )
We tried to google and search everywhere for how to properly do this or how to do this without screwing up like we apparently did! Also, upgrading his using Odin worked... mine didn't. T_T
And does anyone have any suggestions for the least buggiest roms out there? I always seem to flash ones that give me major problems (phone randomly turns off or restarts, camera doesn't work, random things crashing, losing service permanently, etc.)
Thanks!
Which 4.3 ROM are you trying to upgrade to?

Well, I'd like to run Quantum but I thought I had to upgrade to 4.3 first as I'm currently on 4.2?
Someone feel free to move this if needed but has anyone found a way to store photos on 4.3 camera to external SD card?
