[Q] Walkman take so long to update song list - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i really love the this phone but its the little things like this that annoys me.
does anyone else have this problem? whenever i put new songs on my SD card, the walkman app can take forever to show that new song. even after i play the song directly from a file explorer, it still isnt in the walkman list of songs. it can take about 3-4 hours before the song than included in the walkman list of songs

Which walkman version are you using?
Install the latest walkman it has recently added songs in playlists

yes this happens a lot to me too. I have root so I installed enable media scan. It's the media scanner not finding the songs. This app helps me out a lot of times. If you don't have root, try moving your music to another map on your SD, should work too, because media scanner will detect it now as it is being moved from one place to another

im rooted too, does that app available in playstore?

which xsp model do you have? i ask because mine is the c5306 and I've never had problems like you guys are describing with battery, wifi and the walkman app and such.

That's right. The 2.0.A.0.28 is the WALKMAN widget and the 6.0.A.0.26 is the music player.
The latest version is 8.1.A.0.3. You can't get it from play store but from xda. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587018

A little too late and didn't see a real "solution" but you have to restart your phone each time..any complaints then jus download in bulk so you won't have to it do over and over

You don't have to do anything. It's way too simple. Go to settings , Open apps, go to ALL tab and scroll down to Walkman App. Select clear data and clear cache and it'll work.

You will have to wait for the devs to update their apps.
Another way is to download the APK some way put it on your phone and then run the APK.

Maybe these app r old, cuz devs v started to implement auto scaling features, that scale any app to the optimum resolution or screen size.
I think if a crazy company released 4k display android phone, apps will function normally.

NFS Most Wanted v1.0.46 works fine on my Xperia Z.
(Did copy this version including SD data from Xperia Play.)
Sadly, the moga controller will not let me controll it.
Anyone have a workaround for this?
Kind regards, Stefan.

Yes it works fine, I also played it. But how did you get the APK to even install it?
Not sure what you mean by that, just copied the file and installed it using a file manager.
I will try and play the game with the pivot app, maybe then the controller will work.
(Was trying using the universal driver so far.)
Kind regards, Stefan.
Can anyone confirm whether Tomtom satnav works fine on XZ. Also does Slingplayer work ok?

I have the same problem. Haven't noticed it with facebook but with chrome it looks like my music widget in the notification bar just stops working (the widget will stay visible), also no sound. I can open the walkman app and start a new song but when I start using Chrome again the problem will occur again. :crying:
My phone is pretty stock, it is rooted, bootloader still locked and I use Apex launcher.

Strange when I had the problem I also looked at my ram usage and still had 250 mb of ram free. Also it looked if the the widget in the notification bar just stalls, it wont react to any buttons. If android stops the task of the walkman app the widget would just dissapear. I think

One point does Xperia SP not actually good is RAM is only 1GB, and since GPU reserve 2XX MB RAM so the usable RAM only 768MB...

full album art

hi guys can anyone suggest music apps which give full album art like kitkat when you lock your phone without root access am using C6903 jellybean i have tried maven,stellio and poweramp but their full album feature is not impressive enough for me any suggestions welcome :fingers-crossed:
Power amp downloads album art. So long as the id3tag is correct in the file then it'll work. Just click settings and go to album art and select download album art.

Huawei Music Player with EMUI 5.0

Hi, i need to know, does it still combine all the albums into one pile if you browse by artist? It's the worst thing about it on EMUI 4.1, and 3rd party players don't have lockscreen controls. If they fixed the artist browsing, i might as well update.
Thanks.
Emui 5 music player is worse than Emui 4.1's
It messes the Queue list after u clear music player from recent tasks and open it again.

Yes it still does the same.
unfortuntely the sorting of the songs when browsing by artist is still the same in EMUI 5.0 version as it was in 4.1.
In fact they should develop a little bit more their native music app... Play music works quite well... But far from poweramp or other thirty part apps...
