Constant issues with 5800 XM Music player

G'day all,
I've had a constant stream of issues with the music player in my 5800 XM since I got it. The current two giving me the most grief are:
1) The phone stripping song info from tracks so they just show as Unknown Artist - Unknown Track and won't play out. This also gives me frequent Operation Cancelled: General System Errors if I try to select and play one of the songs this has happened to.
2) This is a new one: the phone has actually started deleting songs off the memory card. It's deleted about 500 in the past week. The song data still remains in the library though, with the small yellow triangle appearing next to the name if I try and play one that's been deleted.
These are just two of many issues. I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to format the card and retransfer all my music. I just updated the phone software from the updater on the phone which I hope will, but have the issues popped up before? Have I got myself a lemon? It is getting very, very, VERY irritating.

I have the same exact issues...it picks random songs to be removed from my memory card and dumbs down song info
Plus some of my Images can't be opened as of recent

Constant issues with touchscreen

I have had constant issues with my touchscreen starting the second month I got my phone. I am on my 3rd phone and still having problems. The touchscreen keyboard enters different letters than what I am pressing, the search button in the market doesnt do anything, applications wont launch, the back button sometimes scrolls, etc. I performed multiple "reset to factory" actions with no fix. After tons of calls to Verizon, I can't get them to do anything about it. All they will do is keep sending me this same model phone which is obviously not the solution. Has anyone else had experiences like this and if so how did you get this resolved? Im thinking of filing a complaint with the BBB. Don't know what else to do. Help.

If you are still having problems, please reply to the private message that I am sending you. I will call you to provide troubleshooting assistance.

5800 v50 music player problems

i just updated my 5800 to v50 and had a few annoying problems with the music player... first when i opened the music player refreshing the library took eons and it seemed that it stuck at 10 files added... then i finally i decided to delete all the mp3s for the phone and add them using the ovi player but sometimes when i touch a song to play nothing happens and then i can't exit the player only by turning the phone off and when i do sometimes the phone gets stuck at a black screen and then i have to remove the battery and reinsert it to make the phone work again!! i don't know what other problems this version of firmware has but i regret updating!! before this i had v20 and was very happy with it

1. Complaining may or may not bring it back in next release. The usual modes is snail mail to your local Nokia Head Office or the Contact Us button at the top of the page.
2. Downgrade is not possible without a heavy risk of bricking the phone.

Battery Issue of 5800 express music

Hi,
I bought a Nokia xpress 5800 touch phone in India last month. It had a very good battery back up... When I traveled to US, last week, I noticed that, to keep the phone on, I need to fully charge the phone once every 2 days. Why is it so? What happened to the phone suddenly?
Please help me.....
Even my wife is facing this issue with her 5300 xpress music.
Please help me
Thanks
Madhu

Charging a 5800 every other day is normal. If you ever got longer life out of the battery then you were lucky!
Besides, you should not let a lithium battery go completely flat before recharging. You will damage it and reduce both its lafe and its capacity. You should charge every day, even if the battery is not yet flat, and only do a deep discharge every month or so.

5800: a music player that remembers where it stopp...

Hi,
I had many reasons to buy the 5800 but one of them was the music player. I listen to it in the gym using BT headphones. Frankly I'm amazed I never see anyone else with BT headphones but that's a different topic. Best music technology ever
The problem is that despite this being an Xpressmusic device the music player is a bit marginal, IMO. The thing I miss most compared to regular mp3 players is the capability to remember where it was stopped the last time. You're listening to a playlist and you turn of the player when you go home. Next time you turn on the player you want it to pick up where it was and continue with the same song in the same location in the same playlist. You could say you could remember where you stopped but that's silly. What if you had a long podcast or audio book? Wouldn't it make sense to continue where you stopped?
I realize I can pause the player and keep it running in the background but that means I can't power of my phone, right?
I've looked at two alternative players and they don't seem to support this most basic feature either. Why? Doesn't anyone take phones seriously as mp3 replacements?
I hope Nokia reads this and considers sneaking in this minor feature in the next 5800 update or as an Ovi download.
Thanks for reading!

PS pretty impressed with the phone overall!

Well, technically speaking, exiting the music player would still remember what the song was last, but not turning the phone off. I dont think any application can do this as it would require to have the internal extra battery (CMOS battery I think) to continuously supply power to the phone's processor, which it does not.
Also, as a smartphone, it consumes too much battery in powering up and powering down that it is really not advisable to turn it on and off in the first place, and in fact I dont see any situation where you should do that. If a place requires that phones are turned off, you can just set it to Offline Mode, which makes it so that the phone cannot receive any signal.
EDIT: sorry made a mistake in wording. The CMOS battery does supply a little power to the phone while it's turned off. Just remembered that it does this for the clock. LOL. But then again, making an app to make use of this power to remember where it stopped may depend on how much power is being supplied in the first place.
Oh I made a mistake again. I thought you were referring to turning the phone off. Not just the music player.
Also, I'm not sure if you already know this, but for a playlist to remember where you last stopped, it does that. When you go into music player. go to Options>Now Playing. It will show the last song played.

Am having problems with my Zeppelin music player and iPod classic. The Zeppelin, bought Dec '12, and the iPod, bought same time, used to work fine but now when I attach iPod to Zeppelin I get a message that says the iPod doesn't support the accesory!

I bought a Zeppelin music player and iPod classic in December 2012, and all went well until I last synched the iPod with iTunes, and now I get a message saying that the iPod doesn't recognise the attached accessory when I try to connect it to the Zeppelin. I did recently update to the latest iTunes version-could this be the problem, and if so how do I cure it? All help appreciated.

It's still charging when you plug it in. That just means it won't play music out the speaker. If that's what you were looking to do, they have speakers for iPods.

Having issues with putting purchased music back into iTunes after reinstall

I have been having issues with iTunes closing itself out right after I open it. I deleted the program, then re-installed it, which fixed the problems with quitting. However, I cannot copy my previous library back into iTunes. I saved the iTunes music file and the .xml file to my desktop before uninstalling the program. When I tried to add the music back into iTunes, I keep getting this message: Attempting to copy the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It does not appear on all songs that I tried to add back, but it happened for quite a few of my purchased songs. Is there any way to fix the files or do I need to download the songs again? I tried running the Disk Utility to repair Permissions, but that has not helped with anything.
I am running iTunes on a MacBook with Mac OS X 10. 4. 11, if that will help with anything.

I had to reinstall Windows XP, erasing everything on the hard disk. I had saved the music files with backup software, so I now have them back. But iTunes won't add them to my library. I tried importing songs from a new CD to see where iTunes put those files, and then copying an album folder into the same location. But Windows wouldn't copy the files inside the foder. Nearly all the songs were originally taken from CDs in my collection, and the songs are still on my iPod Nano.
Wow,
Wonder why XP won't let you copy files?, perhaps you used a different user name?
Or these are the old DRM versions of the songs? You should be able to log into your iTunes account and authorize the computer and iTunes should recognize the songs.
Well since you have the iPod Nano, you can head over to iLounge and ask them what current third party software works to move your iPod Nano music back to iTunes.
Hope that works out for you

Multiple issues with iTunes/iPhone Music Library

I have been having several problems with the new update (for the iPhone and iTunes.)
First, when I download music from iTunes, I always clean up the album names (for instance, if I download an album that is called "Can't Stop Me - EP", I always remove the "EP" part, etc. That includes anytime it says Deluxe or Single. I have always done this to keep my library clean, but since the new update, every time I fix it, I'll close iTunes, and when I reopen it later, some of the media I change reverts back to the original name. If I check info on the media, the name I changed it to is still there, and when I click "OK", it reverts back to the new name. Why is this? It is also never consistent, and it picks random media to revert every time I go into iTunes.
Also, one other issue I am having is I am seeing duplicates of artists in my Music on my iPhone. Avicii shows up twice with the same media listed under his name. What's weird, is that when listed alphabetically, the letter "E" appears above one of the duplicates. If I try to erase it, my phone crashes and both Avicii's disappear. If I sync my phone, the duplicates reappear and the cycle repeats. It does this for a few other artists in my library as well.
I've tried resetting my phone and it fixes the solution for a bit, but then it happens again. Some solutions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had not tried that before, but from your suggestion, I went ahead and did it and it seems to have gotten rid of the crossfade issues I was experiencing but whenever I try and listen to a preview in the iTunes music store it still does not appear to be working. Also, I was testing a number of tracks and it seems like there are a few tracks in particular that will make iTunes stop playing when I click on them and then if I attempt to play something else, iTunes says it is playing but no sound is coming from it.
What I have found that is interesting is the first time I ran the Disk Utility it repaired a HUGE number of misc. files. After running it and still experiencing problems I tried to run it again but this time the files were not as numerous and were all within the /Library/CoreServices menu. Each subsequent time I ran the Disk Utility and rebooted, I tried to run the Disk Utility again and the same files seem to still be having the same issues. This is just an example of one of the files I have been having an issue with.
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" , should be drwxr-xr-x , they are -rwxr-xr-x .
Repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/RemoteDesktopMenu.nib" .
One in particular gave me a Warning and said it could not be repaired. I'm not sure if it is important to repair but I still seem to be having some issues here and there. Here is the message from the Disk Utility regarding the file in question.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Constant issue with email

Hi
My wife is experiencing constant problems with email. She is only able to log on via the web based portal and every time it requests that she enter a "captcha" string. She is only able to log on from her mobile devices (iPhone and Android tablet) if she happens to have a live session on a web page. Can anyone point me to a resource to get this sorted?
Many thanks

Glitch with the Blackberry Music Player, Bluetooth, and my car.

My Z10 is set to link with the Bluetooth in my car when it starts so that I'm not distracted when a call comes in. My Satellite radio plays when the car starts. It appears that the phone may be trying to stream the radio (which I wouldn't want it to do)?
First I get a box that says:
1.
Playback failed
Unable to find media
OK
When I select OK to clear that message, it takes me to the Music Player Screen, which says:
2.
"Recent Music"
No Music

This is incredibly annoying! The message intercedes whatever I may be doing at the time. i.e. if I am typing a text message, it pops in over it. I use my BBY for a lot of things, but playing music isn't one of them. I wish I could just turn that option off - I have looked through settings and not found a way to disable the Music Player,or stop it from whatever it thinks it should do when I start my car. Any help would be appreciated. I am really trying to like this phone but so far, I'm not a fan.

Not a Glitch.

Help! My iPhone 4 with ios7's music player resets and plays in alphabetical order everytime it's connected or disconnected to any cord anywhere! Anyone know why? Or how to resolve this issue? ?

This is driving me crazy. The player resets mid song, whenever it's connected or disconnected to any device (i.e. car, desktop, dock) and proceeds to begin playing my entire music library in alphabetical order. That 1st song is getting pretty annoying. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there any fix? I haven't found any settings or preferences for this so I'm a bit stumped and very frustrated.

Yes, I'm having that same problem. I had the same problem in iOS 6, but could get around it by starting the song I wanted before connecting the phone - annoying to have to do, but at least it worked. In iOS 7, it appeared to be fixed, but since updating to 7.02 that no longer works. In fact, not only does it play the first song (yes, it's getting VERY annoying), but when I then choose the song I want, the first song it STILL displayed on my car radio.
To make it worse, the Music app insists on keeping Repeat All turned ON. If I disable it, the next time I connect there's that first song and Repeat All turned on again.
So frustrated that I just don't listen to music on my phone anymore in the car. I should also mention that displaying the wrong song info has never happened before 7.02, but whether or not that was the cause I don't know.

Issue with iTunes organizing music

I'm having some questions about the way iTunes organizes my music. In this image below shows what I mean. It's putting random songs in a compillations folder when they are part of the same CD as the ones that aren't in the folder. It makes no sense and it does it for a couple other bands as well. How do I fix this because its a bit annoying. If I try to move them to the folder they should be in and play the song it just says it can't be located.
http://i51.tinypic.com/2prxxet.jpg

I looked through and I don't think anything really goes with my issue. The information in there is more along the lines of having more than one album show up for one artist. I used to have that problem but I fixed it long ago. I just deleted iTunes and fixed the folders. Then reinstalled iTunes and when I went back into the folders, it had made the compillations folder and put the same random songs back in there. Can anyone make sense of this. Or perhaps can someone tell me how to take control of arranging my folders on my own so I can fix the issue?
