File name nmdsdcid, no file extension, 38 bytes not sure what this is but I... - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

F681A192-8642-4396-A188-81041A34CD49
The number above is what appears when I open the file I'm the html viewer.
Every time I delete this file it reappears, but only if I'm connect to a network via WiFi or cellular. This file is not on my external sd card/removable sd card but rather on the phones storage.
I read somewhere that it has to deal with music setting for some mp3 but I don't buy it. Please any help or further study into this would be awesome cuz I'm stumped. I'll attach a photo when the filename.noextention shows up again.
Thanks

Do you download music? And where from? It's probably some key used to play downloaded music but just a guess.

I do download music. But this is a new phone and I recently factory reset it but before that I removed all music files except for things that came with the phone. I even removed the removable sd card all together just to be sure
I downloaded from multiple sources. Mainly soundcloud, sometimes bandcamp.com, less often mp3juices and some others.
In addition, I don't even have to play a particular song or music extension ie. Flac, wav, acc, etc... For the nmdsdcid.noextention to reappears. All that's required is an active connection and time
Even using different music playing apps the file won't reappear in the file manager.
Lastly it's not in any particular folder, which gives even less clues to which app or other file created it. It's just sitting under all my folders in:
Device/sdcard
When it reappears I'll attach a photo to this post.

That hexadecimal number changed

Help - Can't Find Music

I used Windows media player to sync music to the default storage card location which is "my device\storage card\music". When I go to the HTC music Icon it starts searching for music and never finds any. The songs are mp3.
When I first got the TP2, I transfered a few files to the phone prior to getting a microSD card. When I went to the HTC music icon at that time it didn't have any problem finding the music.
What is the solution?
Thanks.
Anybody - need help on this.
Try delete everything (files and folders) under this folder
My Device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
(if you have trouble removing the content, reboot your device first)

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following and it worked:
I used Advanced Configuration Manager to change the default location to "\Storage Card\Music".
I deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I touched the touchflo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. After I did that, all was good.
yeah i don't like the sync option with windows media player.
i have a question though: how do you keep the music playing when the screen is off? i like to keep my phone in the case & i want to play music thru the speaker but i don't want the screen on.
wtf? double post? how?
my question is: How do you get it to change the artwork? I have the same picture appearing for every song, even though it is a different artist. Why does that happen?

Glad to know that works too
I recently changed my music folder's location (also to Storage card\Music) and Audio Manager refused to refresh. Deleting the content of AudioManager_Eng resolved the issue very well for me without resorting to Advanced Configuration (which I haven't installed)

Do you have to do this step every time you add new music to the phone so TF3D knows to re-index the music folder?

Slow loading of HTC Album and Notes/Voice Rec app

Has anyone had this issue:
When calling notes, or the Voice Recorder app, or opening HTC Album, they take a very long time to become ready. The Album is usable but take 30-60seconds to populate the thumbnails, and the notes app just spins the wait icon for about the same time til its usable at all. It used to work fine...
I tried removing the storage card to see if its was the issue. Notes weren't ANY different, and the few wallpapers i had in internal storage still took longer than it should to show thumbnails.
Suggestions?
Well the problem was more extensive than I thought:
Every app that loaded a file browser, ex. Word/Excel/PPT/Voice Recorder/Notes/etc took a good 30-60 seconds to load and save, and to choose a new folder to browse.
The built-in "File explorer" responded normally and quickly. I had not installed the "file dialog changer" or the file explorer extension.
Turns out, it was the "expose Network folder to other programs" option in Resco File Explorer. I use it all the time to transfer stuff to and from my other machines, so its kind of annoying that either I have the network folder, or programs are speedy and usable. Don't remember this being an issue with my Touch Pro or my 6700.
I guess it timed out trying to search the network folder for various file types every time the file browser appeared in a program.
Hope this helps someone...
Yes, definitely. This did help me and probably saved me an awful lot of time.
So thank you very much for this hint!

Help: Music Apps not "seeing" music files

Hi everyone. For some reason, on my wife's Evo (running Evio 2 w/ Netarchy's latest kernel), music apps are not able to "see" any of my wife's music files. We had similar issues with her photos, but for some reason the gallery just started working again.
Basically, when I go in through Root Explorer I can see that the files are there, and even can play them in the music player, but when I open the Music player I just get a "no music found" error message. Tried using Winamp and it just scans my SD card and finds nothing.
I re-formatted her SD card last night, re-synced all of her music, and still no dice. She is growing weary of bugs like this and is beginning to beat the drum for iPhone ("my old iPhone never had these problems!"), so I desperately need to solve this problem quickly.
Can anyone help or shed some light on what might be happening? Thanks in advance!
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there... that'll stop the music from being scanned. Also make sure it's in the "music" folder, although some apps scan everything, some scan what you tell it to scan, and others only scan the "music" folder & its subfolders.
My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
Try to unmount then mount your sd card.

+1 on this. Look in all your folders where your media is, and be sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there. If there is, delete it and reboot the phone. Problem will be gone.
I'm not even sure how the .nomedia file's become present in certain folders, but it can happen. (certain apps auto create them and place them there for reasons unbeknownst to me)

Also, with the .37 kernels, the usb transfer/read speeds were slow, so it could just "show up" after a period of time, but yes, either check for the .nomedia folder, or a quick reboot will make it show up.
Thanks everyone. I will check her phone tonight when I get home for the .nomedia file...sounds promising.

music players can't find music files

hi there,
There's something that's bugging me lately.
With any music player (stock, meridian, ecc) when i go to "all songs" (or i think it's called "tracks" on stock player) it only shows a half dozen files, as opposed to the 400 there should have been.
Funny thing is that when i explore with those music players inside the folders, the files are all there and magically from that point on, they appear in the "all songs" section and they play fine, but looking better, when i explore the sd card, it says "refresh to scan media" under each previously invisible file.
Every time i reboot the phone those files became invisible again and it's kinda annoying... anybody has some ideas?
Is there any difference in the music files? What format are they in? Maybe the scanner doesn't scan certain formats automatically. Just a guess though.
thank you for the answer, however, the issue disappeared. Don't know if that's what healed my phone, however i went exploring with ESfile explorer and found a rather useles file called "nomedia" with no extension and no format which appeared in the music folder. After that everything went back to normal.
I forgot to say that i recently bought a 16gg class 4 sd card and almost thought to call for a replacement... but things are working now!

.nomedia files are there to tell the default android media scanner to ignore that folder. It's used so sound and picture files from apps and games don't show up in media players. That was were your problem was

T989 issues

Hello Forum!! My wife has the T989 and she is running Jedi Knight 6 presently. The phone has the amazon mp3 player app, and we noticed that it makes duplicate copies of the music files. Can someone please explain to me why this happens, and also give me a solution to correct they problem. Thanks guys
The Media Storage gets confused when you flash a new ROM. Go to your apps through settings, and look for "Media Storage" under "ALL". Force stop it, and then clear data. It will take a bit to rebuild the music library once you open your music player, but once it does you won't have any duplicates anymore.
I was having the same issues with my pictures stored on the memory card. doubles, triples, even quadruplicate files showing as duplicated, but the "duplicates" were broken files that couldn't be viewed, and did not exist when the folder was browsed from the PC with USB storage turned on. Bobbyphoenix's recommendation fixed all that! Thx a mil. Been having this problem since I got the phone..
