anyone dealing with indexing service draining battery?
I had it on the first day I got the phone.
From what I understand it got to do with being able to search your phone quicker.
What i did to get rid of it was delete all pdfs i had on me sd card and also disable search category in s finder.
To disable s finder search slide down on the notification panel, select s finder, now touch the 3 dots and select search category and untick all apps. Now reboot your phone and it should go away.
Hope that helps

i rooted and removed/froze s finder, s voice, facebook, anything that said knox,s health, quick connect, all carrier bloat. no more issues
Can I remove s search and quick connect from notification menu without root？ I do not use them and they occupy lots of space.
I had it on mine too.
My problem was with a pdf file that was on my SD card. Once i deleted the pdf the indexing stopped.

Yeah that really sucks.
What I do is put all of my pdf files in my dropbox, this way I get them from the cloud not on the SD card and samsung wont index them.

Is there a way we can feed this back to Samsung? I really feel like I am using a beta machine at the moment with all the bugs and defects around. only managed to score 12 hours end-to-end yesterday and thats with very light usage.. Sigh...
Found the issue - It was a PDF file but a Sensitive Password enabled PDF file that the Index Service got held up on.
Arggh.. Not sure why the Index Service will enumerate all the PDF files even though the search is turned off. I've rar'ed these up and issue has stopped for over a day now (use to come on every few hours or at random).

Today I woke up to find duplicate folders on my storage card, as shown in image 1. Checking properties for the duplicate folder shows its an .exe and the third image confirms it.
I tried resetting the device and taking the card out, nothing helped.
Whats going on? I can delete them but what happened??
Thats weird.
Thanks guys

You have a lot of files with a folder icon that are infact executables.
Some kind of virus infection..
Check the services for any abnormal executable startups and delete them.
Otherwise: hardreset and card reformat.
Yes it seems like the folders were duplicated into .exe's.
How do I get a virus on a windows mobile?? If that is what it really is.
Any way, how do I check the services?

Virus can enter SD card when you put it in infected computer. Remove your card and insert in clean computer having good antivirus. Scan it and remove the virus. You can use some mobile antivirus as well. These are available in different fora. Google.
I took it out of the phone and put it in my card reader and currently scanning it with Kaspersky Internet Security.
Lets see what happens.
Thanks for the ideas guys, please keep it coming.

what happened ultimately? you did'nt inform.
Ok Kaspesrky took about an hour and 40 mins to scan it and found several viruses.
See attached image.
It seems that the source is either the RSS updates or the target seemed to hit RSS updates. I am using SPB Insight.
It did not detect the other stuff because I manually deleted all the duplicate folders which morphed into .exe files. I guess had I not deleted them, Kaspersky would have detected and deleted them.
The MyLibrary application is great for reading ebooks, but lacks help and options...
I've just received my SD card and decided to move all my media to it, including books.
I removed the folder I was using for books on the main storage, and created a new folder, eBooks, containing a selection of epub files, on the SD card.
However, when I start MyLibrary, I still see the list of books it had before on the main storage, and none from the SD card. If I try to open one it crashes back to the home screen (no big surprise, since the book I tried to open doesn't exist any more).
How can I clean up this mess, remove the old books from the list, and add the books from the SD card?
And while I'm on the subject of MyLibrary, the label "Uncategorized" on the left hand side implies that there can be some sort of categorization of the books. Is that possible somehow?

Yup.
Just click on the "Edit" button (top right), and you will se a "+" sign appears on the "category" side - using that, you will be able to add categories (like magazines, comics, novels, whatever) and drag books into them.
Needs a night mode *shakes fist at Asus* I may just go back to using the Nook app for my books.

Ah! Awesome, thanks. Not an intuitive UI though, in my opinion. Still, at least the actual book reader seems pretty good.
And I've managed to fix my book-relocation issue too.
I went to Home -> Settings -> Applications -> Storage Use, found MyLibrary in the list (which would have been easier if it was an alphabetical list!), then hit the Clear Data button. Then when I restarted MyLibary it re-scanned the storage & SD card to find my books.
Anyone know how to EXCLUDE directories from MyLibrary? Or specify which ones it should look in?
Thanks!

Yes absolutely, the number one thing I miss from the native ebook app on the galaxy tab. Although I think this app "Screen filter" will help

Hey guys:
I've got tons of comicbooks on my storage card that keeps showing up as individual folders in my picture gallery. I know I could drop a "no media" file in the main folder to stop it, but then my other apps wont read anything in that folder as well correct? Is their any way to exclude the comicbook folder from the gallery?
thanks

call me crazy, but I have a feeling the easiest solution is to create a .nomedia file and put it in the folder you want to hide.... ooooor I could be 100% wrong.

You are crazy ;-) does not work here.
This does not solve your problem, but may be an alternate solution. I use a gallery replacement called QuickPic. Inside of QuickPic you can choose which folders are hidden so you only see the ones you want.

I've heard of QuickPic. But I really like the stock Gallery. And if I put a no media file in that folder,, my comicbook reader apps wont see the files either right?
Actually, all you have to do is rename the folder or file and put a "." at the start of the name. So a folder called "my_pron" renamed ".my_pron" won't show up
It's probably worth noting that you should do the rename on your tab and not from your PC, I had problems with it not working when I did it via my PC, that's why I mention it. I used Astro File manager and it works just fine.

Kii Safe!
It's a program designed to be more along the lines of hiding naughty things, but it would allow you to move all your comics into a side gallery type section, plus once their there you can subdivide them into their own folders AGAIN so that you have individual comics in mini-galleries, with sorting by name or date possible to make for easy ordering.

Noteworthy item is that with the EI22 update yesterday, my app got wiped with the rest of my phone, but upon re-installing it and going through new-startup steps it found the SD card data from my previous installation - yay SD card!

I have a app similar to this called Hide & Sneek. But I have to unhide pics everytime I need to use it. Will Keep safe allow me to hide the comics just from the Gallery , but let them be used in the Combook reader?
Quit trying to hide the pron from her and you won't have issues! Or just if ya get caught freak out and claim you must have a virus!

lol. Not worried bout the porn pics. But when I have to scroll through the gallery to find the folders my real pics are in, its kinda annoying. See the attached.
Hello everyone. I'm coming from the Infinity forums here at XDA. I jumped ship on that thing. Loving this Sammy Tab. Does anyone know how to stop or remove the tab from grabbing photos from my computer? As soon as I hit the gallery Icon it grabbed my pics. Am on Windows 7 ultimate. So I went to my media player and disabled share with other devices but alas it still finds the pictures. Then when I go to the folder to delete it/them all I get is a select file/folder option or download option. No delete option. So how do I stop and remove this folder? Thanks. Sorry if there is a thread for this already. I searched but couldn't find anything. Maybe I didn't write it out right in the search:silly:
Anyway, Thanks in advance

The Note is finding pictures that you windows pc is sharing to your network. It allows you to view them but isn't downloading them unless you hit the download button.
You can remove the network items from the view this way: Menu (from main gallery view not from withing the "folder" of pictures you want to remove) -> View By -> Content in device

There's only one problem with this method -- it doesn't stop it permanently. Every time you re-load the gallery app, it re-appears. I find it totally annoying, honestly, and wish there was a permanent way to turn it off. I leave media sharing on my Win7 PC turned on because I use apps that allow me to browse shared media for streaming/etc. I want to be able to see those photos when I want them, but not all the time, and certainly not every time I load up the gallery app.
If the app permitted you to browse network-shared media when YOU want, and could sort it in a useful way (folders, maybe?) ... then the feature would be useful. Otherwise, for me, the hundreds and hundreds of raw digital photos being cataloged each time I load the app is just plain obnoxious.
Thankfully, thus far, this is only one of a very very few annoyances with the Note 10.1! And there's always one solution -- use a different picture/media viewing app .
Nice. Thanks guys. quickpic here I come
Hi,
I bought a Huawei Mate 8 from ebay couple of months back. The phone is awesome. Great battery life and fast charging.
However, the problem I am having is that the files get deleted on their own from the Downloads folder.
There is no set pattern. I file which I downloaded few weeks might still be there while another downloaded a week back might already be deleted.
It could be any file like .mp3, .pdf, .cbr, .docx, etc.
I do not have sd card installed. Nor do I have any antivirus software.
Whatsapp and Chrome are pretty much the only app I have.
Please let me know what should I do.
Thank you.

Go to the Phone Manager, and then System optimization, and press the settings icon at the top right and disable the automatic cleanup.
This took me "a while" to figure out myself as well :good:
