Duplicate files: why?? - General Questions and Answers

Im wondering if anyone knows what causes (generally music) files to be duplicated and stored on the phone? I got fed up this morning and deleted all the duplicates. Then after listening to music for about an hour at work, I noticed that it happened again! 3 copies of every song on 2 of the albums I listened to. Wtf? Might it have something to do with where I store them? Sometimes this happens on my PC too. Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it?

Clear your data cache

Do you have dropbox syncing turned on? Maybe the multiple locations are being synced.

No drop box sync, I'll try clearing the cache for Apollo. I've deleted all the music files for now, tomorrow morning I'm going to put them all back on my phone all in the same location so that it will be easier to track the problem.
You say try clearing cache, any idea why that would cause multiples of the same files? What is the process at fault here?

Also thinking its not the cache because the files are in the same location as the originals and they are mostly 0 or -1 bytes

Thanks, actually the problem is solved after I did a clean install of the latest cm10, and retagged all the MP3s on my PC. They are behaving now..

All 11 of your posts have been garbage. Not helpful at all and off topic is not the place to get your first 10.

It was happening to me a lot at one point then suddenly stopped. Clearing data cache always work for me. Hasn't happened at all on JB.

I wondered about this also. I will try some of these tricks to see if they work for me.

XDA Premium App gone?

So today I checked my home screen and noticed my XDA app was missing, then checked the phone and turns out it was completely uninstalled out of nowhere. Check the market, it SAYS "Purchased," go to Install/download, and it fails and tells me it failed because I haven't purchased the app... Really getting annoying. Anyone know who I can talk to about it? I have the receipt for it in my email still.

EDIT: Solved............. I'm an idiot. Downloaded it through Amazon, not the Android Marketplace, hahaha. Dumb mistake.
Maybe try clearing market data /cache
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Nope. Nothin. :/ Have no idea why it just wiped itself from my phone... Regular one works great, but it was definitely nice having the premium.

No sound or voice from the phone

Hello all. Has any one lost voice, and sound from their phone? Every thing else works, including playing music, Pandora music, and system sounds. But when I go to use the phone I cannot hear the person on three other end, and they cannot hear me. Any help be appreciated.

Maybe a local network problem...???
What's the last major thing u did to ur phone before this started happening ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I charged the phone. The system ROM is practically full. I need to learn how to purge the System Rom, to see if that helps.

Ok, I found the issue. Using Titanium Backup, I removed some not needed system files, and apps. Everything is back to normal.

There's gmail the service and gmail the app, you didn't specify
You might want to remove and re-add your Google account in settings. Have you been "dirty flashing" when moving between AOKP and CM10? Also, what version of gapps are you running?

The app....No dirty flashes wipe wipe wipe...I'll try removing and resyncing. The newest Gapps

You might want to go into your gmail account settings and make sure that your IMAP settings are right as well. If Auto-Expunge is off it might do something similar

I have this same issue intermittently. I found d that if I deleted them b4 marking them as read (and sometimes even if I did mark them as read) then they would come back. I fix it by going into the Gmail app, selecting the search option, typing in "in:unread" (minus the quotes) and hit search. It will do its thing and come back with all the unread emails. From there, select them, mark them as read, and delete them again. Hopefully this will work for you as it has for me.

I would doublecheck and make sure that you don't have it sent to archive versus delete

No problem man. Glad ya got it sorted out. That exact problem had me racking my brain for a week or so. Happy I could keep you from torturing yourself over it for the next few days. Just be sure to remember that search phrase because, chances are, you'll need it again sometime.

Jelly bean galley data usage??

So i have been using netflix heavily on my phone over the past few days and i just decided to check my data usage. Can anyone give me some insight on why jeally bean gallery used up almost a gb of data considering i have never actually opened the app once. Is is safe for me to uninstall?

From my experience if you watch some videos on a web browser it opens in your gallery. That's the only thing I can think of hopefully that helps you out.

do you have google pics or picasa synced under your google account?
you can try wiping media storage, and gallery data under settings-application. reboot, wipe cache, fix permission. should settle in.

I haven't seen it today, but it is something that appears to crop up from time to time in the Play store with purchased apps. If rebooting doesn't fix it try clearing the cache and data in the Play Store app, or re-install the Play Store app.
It looks like you changed your DPI, I believe doing that can break things with the play store.
