Hi All,
Since i have like 11 gb of music on my storage card it takes about 6-7 seconds to open te music tab. How can i disable the refresh each time you open the music tab? Since i don't daily add music it's useless to refresh eacht time i open it.
I want to be able to manually refresh the music library, how can i do this?
Since a lot of people here are changing things in manilla i hoped someone can help me! Thanks in advance!
I am surprised nobody has found a solution to this. Or maybe they have and I just haven't found it. I've been using S2P because waiting for the Sense music tab refresh is a pain. I automatically restart my phone every day and this requires waiting for the refresh daily. Frustrating!
Seems HTC have released an update, try this http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDow...at=0&dl_id=938
I just tried it and it seems better

The link is dead
Here is proper link. However, I think it will be useless unless you are using older stock ROM
Hi guys!
I know there is a way to create a Chrome extension which, when clicked, launches an app on the phone that vibrates the phone and plays a sound file at the loudest volume, so I can find it. Like Chrome to phone but with a different purpose.
This would be a great app for those times when you need to go but just can't find your phone even though you know it is somewhere in the home. With just the press of a button you could hear (or feel, if it's very close to you) where it is! No need to use another phone to call yours or run around the apartment getting all tired and angry!
Personally I would have used it like eight times since I came up with the idea, but I don't know Android programming or HTML (for the extension) so I can't create it myself.
where's my droid
and a couple of other apps already do this. They take a sms message and crank up the volume.

That's great for some people (with unlimited SMS), but unfortunately I haven't got unlimited SMS (nor do I always have access to a second phone. If I did though I would probably call my phone instead as this request is for finding the phone when you know it is somewhere near but don't have the patience to run around and search for it)
The app I want doesn't use SMS messages for launching the app but the Cloud-to-device service introduced with Android 2.2 and at the moment only available to a small but growing number of devices.
I use the Chrome to phone app & ext (code dot google dot com/p/chrometophone) on my Nexus and although it doesn't work every time when it does work it feels like magic!
I thought it would feel as much if not even more like magic if you could use this new service to find your phone with ease. I don't need it to have all the (for some) great features like showing where the phone is on a Google map or wiping important data if it's lost, I've got other apps for that.
I want this app to be as simple as it possibly can be, again like Chrome to phone:
Setting up: Download, Register phone, Be logged into Google account, done!
Use: Be logged into Google account, click extension button, wait a sec, phone rings, done!
Now does anyone here know how to create this app or where to request it to increase the chances of it getting past the idea stage and into something usable? It would surely make my day!
anyone know why zune dosnt display all of my album backgrounds? how can i fix it. some albums work others dont. help!
Been wondering this myself, all my music has the correct tag data and album art. However the tile still dislpays the artwork for a track I played days ago
I've played dozens of albums/tracks since
I have the same thing ?
I like joe cooker put to see his face for ever .
WP7 Zune really needs an update to sort out these sort of issues. it would be better if it had the same "find info" and "find album art" option which it has on the PC zune software. theres got to be a way......
You will have to subscribe to Zune Pass to see this working. The backgrounds change when you're streaming music from different artists. There is a free 14 day trial. I have subscribed & its amazing. Give it a try.

You don't need the pass for the backgrounds. However to save memory power network use or something it only downloads the art when you go to play the track and then it will only do that if you are on wifi or have a great connection. This is at least how i have come to see it.
I have also found though if you leave zune open on your pc and sync a again a couple of mins later it pushes the art across. I had a similar thing with my zune hd where it took a few syncs to get all the data but this i think is because it has to download more and so to keep it fast just gets the basic data then picks the rest up afterwards.
Same problem here...
I have a zune hd..and 90% of my songs on my zune hd have background and artist information...
Then, i bought my Mozart...and I made a sync with my computer...but only 2% of my music have background!!!
What's going wrong? Same computer, same library, same music...but on my zune hd, i have the background...but nothing on my mozart!!
Same here as well.
Strange thing is, it worked fine for the first day, now it's stopped? I'm stuck with the same background picture on the music hub of my Mozart.
I also can't get Zune on my laptop to change backgrounds? Tried playing music from marketplace, playing from my collection, buying a track from the marketplace. Nothing seems to work? \i've tried with and without Zune pass as well.
Also, does anyone else have a problem with album art displaying on the now playing screen? I can see my album art everywhere else on the music hub, just not on that screen? It's just a black square which if I tap shows the 3 symbols (repeat, shuffle and the heart symbol I think)
Same problem here. Zune really needs to be updated to correct this issue.
I nonetheless found a way to improve things:
- When you open Zune on your PC select "Collection":
- Right click on each of the Album of ur Collection and select "Find information on this album" then save the info.
Bu anyway, many artists are missing and do not appear (e.g. Sparklehorse)
I also tried a soft names "Zune Social Tagger" but it messed up my tags because some Tags used by ZUNE are actually wrong (weird but true) (e.g. it will replace Smog by Bill Callahan)
I tried the Wifi Thing like someone mentioned and it worked but only for one artist paolo nutini. will keep trying. what might be of note is that it worked for one of his albums but not another of his albums. anyway in case peole are not sure what i mean i have now uploaded 2 dics to show the difference....please help! Zune looks so much cooler with artists backgrounds ....... as you should see, the muse album has no background pic. that image is just a reflection of my head. sorry.

Thanks for the info and pics. I'll keep trying as well!
1 thing tho, on your pics, you have the album art showing on your now playing screen, did you do anything different to get the art showing there or did it work automatically once you synced with Zune on your computer? I still can't get this to show for any of my albums??
ah sorry thats my now playing screen but it does also work on the album screens. some pics worked automatically and others dont. i really cant find a reason for this. i think syncing may be the best option though but cant prove it yet
Cool. Glad you've managed to get it working!
I'll keep at this and will post if I find anything interesting. I'm in 2 minds whether to take all the music off and start from the beginning!
it still only works for some albums hoping someone knows how to really make it work though im sure wp7 Zune needs an update

Thats the way the Zune HD works and is documented (works that way on mine, took about 5 days to load them all). After the sync ends, backgrounds, bios etc are slowly loaded. In the HD's case it is evident on the screen, where it goes from Syncing to Sync Complete (downloading data) to Connected (once it has stopped downloading).
What they recommend is to leave connected to the Zune software overnight. Of course, when it downloads from the market while streaming, it keeps them.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/zune/thread/d0019422-1eb2-4604-8a81-7dedd04935d5 (for the HD)
another thing that helps aside from leaving the zune device or phone connected overnight a few times is waiting until you see the status as "Connected" vs "Sync Complete" Sync complete means it has the songs and basic data, Connected means it isn't doing anything. (on the phones you'll need to go to zune, pictures, or anyplace that brings up the sync status, while on the devices, you have no choice it goes there as long as its talking to the software)
I could be that your not letting the sync finish, i know with the zune HD
while it syncs it says syncing
once the music is on the zune it says sync complete
But you have to wait until it says just "complete" to get the backgrounds
also make sure all of the artist are tagged correctly
EDIT: i didnt see ckacey post, my bad
damn, i hope this all gets straightened out. That's a big thing for me. It's really frustrating when u spend all that time organizing and getting all the info correct for your deviced and then it still doesn't work.
This may also have to do with how your artwork is organized on your pc. I find that following a similar setup to iTunes (giving each artist/album) their own folder, really helps things like WMP and other devices to get the album art right.
Hi.
I solved the problem.
Go to Zune (at your Desktop) and select the album with the missing cover than right-click there. Now you should see "Add cover" (or something similar)(I have the German Version). You can now add the cover and after the next sync with your Windows Phone you will see cover at your mobile device.
Hope it works for you, too.
getting the album art isnt the problem, the problem is getting the Artist background working. some albums will only display the cover, when they should show both the cover AND the artist background. i have yet to try leaving my phone attached to the pc and leaving it on all night as this seems really silly. but will do it anyway.
Hey guys,
I'm a photographer, and soon ill show some of my work on an exposition. I would like to show some pictures on a tablet and create the possibility for the audience to slide trough a selection of photos.
Basically, im looking for an app or website that restricts the user in all actions besides sliding between photos fullscreen, also no enchancing and stuff if possible. Best case scenario it would be possible to completely lock the tablet and not give anyone the possibility to quit the app. I already checked a lot of presentation or photo frame app, but none of them really fits the job.
Ideas will be greaty appreciated.
Im working with a kobo arc 10 HD tablet with root, android 4.2.2
I read a few threads here..the following are my queries...
hi all. im a new user of a huawei handset and a bit confused with few things..
1- notification sounds for telegram/whatsapp are inconsistent...sometimes i hear the notifications other times they dont sound off..the other important point is, my messages dont appear until i open the app (or click on it to open)....( there a few threads on this issue here and it seems like the problem has not been solved as i tried some of the offered solutions but didnt work)...
2- in the app drawer mode, how can i get the google voice command widget (ok google) on the screen? the widget disappeared when i went to the app drawer mode and it was not available in the widgets section.
3- there is an app called notepad which is huawei based i assume but its mainly for reminders. is there another app by huawei dedicated for taking notes which synchronizes with outlook??
4- does the app store close when downloading a large file? it happened to me everytime with certain large apps. anyone experienced the same? maybe a bug.
5- a HTC related question as someone may have tried it. is it possible to install the APK for blinkfeed on the mate 9? i tried but didnt work...anyone tried it with any success?
6. the final question i have... how do you get to see message notifications on your lock screen like on HTC phones for example??!! Is a similar function available ala HTC??!!
in general, the phone is very good. it has some nifty gestures which are actually handy and can be great in reducing time needed for doing things like the double knuckle action for screen freeze. also, the split screen and cut. very useful. didnt even know about it until i bought it!!!
as opposed to samsung gimmicks those are useful on the mate 9.
i ordered the Chinese version as i wanted 128gb + 6 gb ram.
thanks and advance.

I think theres an HTC launcher floating around. Have you checked apkmirror.com?
For Blinkfeed you'd need HTC Sense's framework. I found this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438
Edit: It's post #2
Thanks for the HTC tip. Will try it afterwards
I found a solution to my second query. I deleted and reinstalled google now and somehow both google widgets appeared so its all good now.
However, the two with my highest concerns are queries 1 & 4.
I installed the apk for blinkfeed but the one for the social media were not available from mega!!
How do i actually use the sense/blinkfeed now i installed it??
App Store crash when downloading a large file
This is due to you didn't turn on storage access for google play store.
I don't know why the default permission for storage was off, but apparently if you turn that back on, it will fix the app store crash bug.

Thanks. I forgot to update the above post. I have done that and it was fixed.
Also the OK Google thing seems to be working after tweakings in the permissions etc.
I couldn't get the HTC blink feed to work. It seems like I have it but I don't know where to go to activate it!!
The big problem seems to be the notifications.
