Media Scanner? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What media scanner does everyone use? Since our phone doesn't scan like Samsung or Sony I think.. Instead of just rebooting.. :/

Do you mean what programs we use to sync media content to and from our device to the computer?

No.. I meant how sometimes pictures, music, ringtones don't show up unless you do a media scan or reboot the phone..

I haven't encountered that problem with my N4 yet...figured it had something to do with not having external SD, since its the same way on my N7. My music sometimes doesn't import it straight away but after I download since I use player pro I use it s scan feature and just have it set to my swarm folder and it grabs the music and album art right away.

Just picked up a Nexus 7, what's the best way to stream music from PC?

I was debating nexus 7 or Galaxy tab 2. Pretty sure I've made the right choice. With no SD card I can't store my all of my music. What are some good options. I've used power amp the most on my S2 not much else when it comes to media players.
Thanks

You have to upload all your desktop music to Google's Music cloud first, then you stream it from the cloud. Doesn't sound like exactly what you want.
To stream directly from the PC, Audiogalaxy is what I used before and seemed to work well. I believe WinAmp does this as well.

[Q] Where the heck are videos stored?!

I'm using the MoDaCo camera launcher and I've taken several videos, playing around with the face stuff and what-not. I plug the N7 into my HTPC to import the hilarity that has already ensued and I can't find them anywhere. I've tried both modes available (MTP and Camera, I think).
Help? I need to send back that N7 and I don't have a lot of time left to do it...
Under dcim? With the pictures maybe?

I can't find them there... that's the thing... I questioned where they were so I unplugged it and the gallery still plays them! I even searched for 3gp files and can't find any.
The videos are saved to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera (at least on my Nexus 7).

Nexus 7 played a song in it's own !!!

So, I'm checking my mail on a second account on N7 and all of a sudden a song starts playing ...I checked multitasking and there were only the settings and gmail apps open.... i ran shazam on it and it's called " Atrévete-te-te "...I logged off this account and into another and the song still played !!!! I had to turn the device off.
Am I being attacked ?
Probably

galaxy s4 quadcore - S Beam

so S beam works for everything videos photos files documents.. but for some reason its not working for music? from a s4 to a s4.. can anyone try nd tell me if it works for you.. i tried it with samsung movie app.. when you put phone back to back it just vibrates.. if you try with google play music.. if you put back to back.. the whole beam interface comes up but nothing actually goes through.
Thanks in advance
Same thing happened to me. Tried from s4 to note 2 and s4 to gs3 and a no go. Thats sucks cuz I actually transfer alot of music on my s3 and girls s3 now cant with s4. Wak

must be a software issue ? since everything else works i mean i tried videos and it worked fine with s beam lol i don't see why music shouldn't work.. like when you use music app and put phones back to back.. it vibrates.. but "touch to beam" doesn't come up
Yup videos and pics work good just not music

Biggest piece of crap...stupid Samsung I used this feature so much..
Open up the stock music player and play a single song. Tap phones, it will send.

Anyway to put the music app from the s3 on the s4?

Best Music Player

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice
Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono
MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.
Player pro here. It also plays videos

Are you talking about google play music, couldnt find anything else in the play store
Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.
Have you tried Music Player for Pad/Phone?

Another vote for PowerAmp
I have to agree, I like poweramp the best, though now I am interested in checking out playerpro...

Poweramp for me.. Im not gonna try any other players since I paid for the full version, I feel it wud b a waste if I switched and ditch poweramp. Besides no player has topped it for me as of now
