Bug description:
Updated my retail bq E4.5 phone to OTA-7.
Opened Music app and saw no music. Tailed mediascanner log, found it
repeatedly scanning my music over and over. This causes high cpu, high
IO, increased disk usage through logging and locks the database so
Music app is unusable.
The only way I could make Music appear was to issue:-
stop mediascanner-2.0
Then re-open Music.
Attached mediascanner log (all 369M of it)
