Top Android news of the week: Vanishing tunes, new Galaxy phones, Sony staying
This week in Android saw a commitment from Sony to never leave the smartphone business, Samsung's financial problems continue, and reports of downloaded Google Play music disappearing.
Sony hasn't been doing well of late with its Xperia phones and recently a rumor surfaced that the company was entertaining selling its smartphone business. That rumor was put to bed by the company.
CEO Totoki stated the company will "never, ever" sell or move away from the smartphone business.
The biggest company in the Android space expects its year over year profits to decline for the seventh straight time. The company is pinning hope on a turnaround on the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
That may be difficult as reports have surfaced that the S6 Edge demand has outstripped Samsung's production.
Users have reported that songs downloaded from Google Play Music to a microSD card are disappearing after shutting down or rebooting the device. There doesn't seem to be an issue downloading to internal storage.
Google has acknowledged the bug and promises a fix shortly.
