Bug in V50 firmware: Some of you guys may face a problem after this update. The problem is related to library refresh in music player. Music player takes ages to search for audio files. It just keeps searching and if you try to stop, it hangs for a while. To avoid this bug, I am recommending what I did on my cell. The audio formats like .aac, wma, .m4a, etc. are creating this problem. If you want your music player refresh the library instantly, you need to keep only .mp3 files in your cell. You can remove files with other audio format than .mp3. After keeping only .mp3 files in cell, it will refresh instantly. If you guys have any other workaround for this bug, then share that here.
