Hi All,
Wonder if anyone can help. Since I've rooted my phone to CM 12.1 (now working great! Thanks F4K!!!). The only issues I have is that the Music app and Gallery app don't read the music/photos directly off the sd card (only when moved to phone storage). does anyone know a way around this or know of any music and gallery apps that would read directly of the sd card?
Also, would anyone know how to stop the soft key lights coming on when touching the screen? I've tried the device root app (I think its called device root not 100% sure). When I've downloaded it and set the switch to turn of soft keys when touching screen, it always switches itself back on.
Thanks all!

This is a somewhat frustrating issue for me. Media Scanner seems to be running all the time. I've tried Rescan Media Root, ScanMedia, Hard Reset, Factory Reset, and nothing seems to be working. I got it to finish scanning somehow once, and everything was fine. Now all the sudden it's back and I can't open up my camera. It also feels like my device is slower while it's running and my battery drains a lot faster. I've tried disabling Media Scanner with some other process apps too, and it's just not working. It seems like this happens on most LG devices though, where you can't open the camera and stuff. Anybody else have this issue? Anybody know what I could try to do?
There's a file that you added onto the SD card that's messing it up. It was doing the same thing to me when I added this one specific wmv file even though nothing was wrong with it or any of the other ones I put on. Just clear your SD card and put everything back on.

Thanks! That did the trick
I'm having a problem with my Xperia Home (default xperia launcher), sometimes when I connect my phone to mass storage mode then after I disconnect it some app icons on the launcher will move to the last page, it is annoying because I have to rearrange them and fill the spaces in the launcher (their original position). Also happens when removing and reinserting the microSD card. Experienced the problem on Stock ROM and NXT LE. Is anyone also experiencing this problem?

This is normal for apps that are moved to SD card. You will find that all the apps that move to the back are the apps that you have moved to your SD card. Since connecting SD card to computer and removing SD card both cause the phone to lose access to the SD card, hence the apps will be gone until you plug sd card back in, when which the apps will end up at the back again. Hope this helps
I've encountered this problem as well. Unsure as if to why this occurs, but there isn't any hope of Sony giving us an update.
I see, thanks for the info, any fixes yet? If none yet what launcher can you recommend? Something simple and light
If you want a light launcher, use zeam launcher. If not I will recommend Trebuchet or just use the list by alphabetical order function in xperia home.

Thanks! I'll try those
This again is an odd issue I just happened to encounter today.. ok..
When I have a playlist in my android music, by the way I use an old style music player because I like it a lot, anyways, When I have a playlist it no longer lets me hold in on the edge of a song and move it somewhere else in the playlist, like if I want it to be the first song or somewhere else on the playlist, it no longer lets me do this. Also with my gallery, usually lets say I download a picture of the internet and I go into my gallery, usually it will be the most recent gallery album called downloads right there in the first slot so I don't have to go search through my gallery searching for my downloaded pictures, of if I take a screenshot and go to it in my gallery, it will be like the most recent used folder in my gallery and will be in the first slot.. doesn't do that anymore.. but I may have a reason why it is doing this (bare with me) my sisters phone broke today so I was getting her pictures and music off of her SD card and saving them to my computer.. I took my card out put hers in, then connected my S3 to my computer and only copied the entire DCIM, media, and downloads folders.. not individual pictures but again this is me taking these off of my sisters SD card not mine. I then remove hers and put my SD card back in my phone and I did notice it took forever for my pictures and music to load.. any reason at all as to why my phone is having this issue now? please post back on here for solutions or help with this, Please and thanks in advance.
Hey Guys, newbie here!
I've been using CM13 for a while now. Recently my Spotify app started freezing and crashing my phone when accessing my 64GB MicroSD card. I can not reproduce this however since it seems to happen randomly. But when Spotif or my SD card are uninstalled i do not get these freezes.
I did a clean install of the most recent CM13 Nightly and the Experimental CM14 release, which did not yield any results other than corrupting my data file system. After fixing this, I now run in the Experimental CM14 without Spotify.
If you have ans Idea I would really appreciate the help from you guys.
*Edit* This is about the LG G3 D855 which I am using with a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD card.

Wow, reading that post, it's almost as if I posted it myself.
I have similar issues as you. But I'm using stock. I thought it was something wrong with my new 128gb microsd. I even gotten a new battery just in case, as I see other people pointing to these random issue to battery issue.
Until I realized Spotify somewhat actively caches stuff on my microsd card, plus the earlier issue of using network data in the background even when not actively in use (killed my wife's data usage for that month).
Issues I've seen are phone not waking up from black screen (or taking a really really long time to wake up), issue playing the next song with my regular mp3 player with songs stored on microsd, spotify freezing, bluetooth freeze on connect, etc.
Just recently I've just tried to clear all data/cache on the spotify app (took a long time, I clicked the button and went to sleep). Then as soon as I'm back on spotify, I go to settings and tell it to cache on phone sd instead of external. So far my phone seem to be running better. Will have to wait a few more days to see how it goes. Hope this helps (for myself as well : ) )
Hi all!
I have always kept my music library on internal storage but I recently got a large sd card so I don't have to copy music back again every time I reset the phone. I am currently running stock Pie with June update, no root, bootloader locked.
Since I have put my music library on the sd card (30gb of music on a 64gb card) everytime I reboot or wake up the phone, I got a notification of "scanning sd card". And the music library in several players I have tried (pulsar, shuttle, musicolet) is empty and slowly repopulates.
When I first used the card I put it into the phone and formatted it as portable storage, then copied music in it.
I thought i was the only one with this problem. It happened after the PIE update. It was ok when i was on OREO. The same thing happened to my note 5 pro after the PIE update. It seems this is related to PIE rom, slowly remounting the sd card ofter boot. I changed a few cards before thinking it was the card problem. Hoping the devs would solve this problem with the next update.
Give PowerAmp a try, it's something, and works even after reboot

With the smaller sd card and music library on the phone storage I didn't have this problem, did you?

I used memory card since i bought the phone, it's a 64 gb card. Never had any problem when i was on oreo. The music from internal storage seems to have no problem. Tried a few cards and seems like the 32 gb card loads faster. The 64 gb and 128 gb loads slowly and these are high speed read/wirte cards. Also if i didn't use the player after a few days i have to rescan the library again for the music to load. The same goes to some stuff on gallery too. Contents from memory card went blank and only viewable after a while.
I've also same issue on two individual A2 lite with 32gb SD cards (1x samsung & 1x intenso).
I expect that the SD card is unmounted when the device goes into sleep mode. If phone wakes up again the card will be mounted again.

I can also confirm this behavior.
May its possible to get some details with MatLog (during wakeup & sleep). But I'm not able to do this, cause my phone is not rooted.
I have this problem only with the music on sd. Images in the gallery show up correctly.
I have searched for this issue, and it seems a lot of people experienced it also with older android versions and phones. Someone fixed it with an app called Wakelock, others just changed their sd card or lived with it.
Guess i'll just live with it until this phone fails me. This problem doesn't really annoy me much. It's still pretty much a great phone for its price.
For me it's very frustrating, gallery does not work correct if i use it direct after unlock and also camera app will crash if used direct out of lockscreen and phone was in deep-spleep before (target directory is set do SD card). Sometimes (1-2%) if i wake up the phone the card is not mounted properly. Phone reports card is damaged, after reboot everything is fine again.
