Google music NOT working? (solved) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

it stopped working after i switched roms from juggernaut to beast mod! But then when i switched back to jugernaut it still wont work. Before i went back to jugernaut the second time i went back to stock completely i thought if i did that it might help as i rerooted etc....it was just working less then a day ago.
Heres my problem i install app and then i enable my google account to go with it and then i press play and then it buffers for like 10 sec and then it just stops. Doesnt FC it just stops while my Google music screen just sits there, its not frozen.
I checked volume, not the problem
Audio Galaxy streams just fine, thats not the problem
Google music will play a file off my ext card just not my streaming library
I tried clearing data, nope, uninstalling it, using diff versions none of this works!!!
As this is one of my most used apps! any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Heres the fix to this solution! When ever u install a new rom or do a fresh wipe of windows 7 it authorizes a new user to ur music beta account but u can only have 8 accounts open to ur account!! So i went into music beta settings on my pc and look at my account and thats what it was i had 8 open already! just deauthorize a few and now its working like brand new!!
Just a tip for u guys!! enjoy

Music beta .apk anyone?

Hi. After my SGS died I got myself the Wildfire S (until the next Nexus comes out and I'm quite happy with it.
The only problem is that I can't get Google Music beta running on the device.
I already checked a few apks from the forums and Music 3.0.1 is running fine - but it doesn't connect to my Music beta Account. Has anybody a solution for this is at least the same problem.
Further information: I live outside the US and i can't simply download the Music apk from the Market, but it was never a problem to get it to run on my other Android devices and several different ROMs on every device.
Thanks for helping!

After a few suggestions from the App-Thread itself didn't work (like cache cleaning, de- und reinstall, disable app information syncing, ...) a factory reset did the trick for me.
When setting up the phone again I just installed the music app first (!!!) and - tataaa.... - the "settings"-option appeared.
So - my advise to all those with similar problems. Setup your music app first (!) when you set up your phone because in case of problems you may need to factory reset your whole phone.
Hope that helped someone...

[Q] Google Music bug? pinned music disappears

Anyone had this strange problem that the songs you made available for offline use (pinned) disappear after a while. In fact, the entire music app resets as if it was started for the first time and needs to be synced with your account.
I tried to find out the source of the problem, whether the problem occurs when the phone is connected to the computer via USB or something but no. I read other google forums and some people say its a bug and will be fixed. I also need to mention I am not using google music in the USA.
If anyone had the same before or knows a fix, pls let me know.
Using SGN stock 4.0.2, newest Google Music Play app
The music I select to download for offline will not download regardless of rom or version of play music.
It just keeps saying I have a problem with my internet connection, I don't. It is working perfectly for everything else on wireless and 3G but play music does not even reach 1%.
Infuriating as I'm going travelling in 2 days and need the music in my phone offline as I will have no 3G!
Some of my local music wont play at all.
Sometimes it wont download the entire song too, its quite annoying.

I think this happens because you don't have the song information (ID3 tags) set up properly in your songs. I've had the same problems before.
Anyone else experiencing this? The problem keeps coming back randomly. The problem also happened on my girlfriend's Nexus S so it's not related to my phone or my account.
I've had this happen too. It's annoying when I discover it when I am away from my WiFi.

I always have this problem, but mostly is went my pc can't recognise my phone/usb cable and it re-download the drivers while my phone's connected... I'm on stock.

Google play music stores music as cache. So cache cleaners will remove the offline songs.

I've had this issue since day one. Ive had it on two different nexi (think thats the plural) as well. Do you have multiple google accounts on your phone? Its as though something is setting the app back to its default settings because when it happens I have to go through the account selection screen.
Just a thought, are you using a shared account with your girlfriend to both access the same music (I am). Maybe through using lots of devices we are hitting the authorisation limit for the music account (you are only allowed to access from a certain amount of devices I think).
Keeps downloading offline music
For the last few days, my phone keeps trying to download offline music even though my phone has the music and I have not added any new music. It is crushing my battery. Any thoughts on how to fix would be appreciated.
I didn't had any problems with google music. maybe it's because of the codec? i use 256 kbps VBR mp3s from amazon and didn't had such problems since i started to use this service.
I'm currently having this issue, it's driving me nuts. On 4.1.1 with the latest G Music app.
my whole library just up n effin poofed >_< its all gone. i cant even redownload the music manager. google is pissing off lAtelywith theses bugz
This is not unique to Samsung, happened on my HTC One X as well.
There is some suggestion that cabling up to USB in "disk drive mode" triggers removal of all your pinned music.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35153
If you pin a significant part of your music for off-line use, this can be a huge download the next time you connect.
I've only noticed this once, when I cabled my HOX to the computer for no real reason, just to see what happened. (The phone is not rooted).
To those who see this frequently: Are you cabling up via USB?

Not when you pin the songs. It should not be cache-cleaned. Besides, I don't run a cache cleaner.
I, personally haven't had this issue in ages now. I never used to (and still don't) plug my devices into a computer. It may have been account related though in my case. I used to use a separate google account for my music (I shared the account with my girlfriend). I gave up on that approach and uploaded all my music to my own account and deleted the music one. Haven't had the problem since. Could be coincidence, could be something else.
I did find a workaround when I had the problem though. When you go into play music and it acts like it's not been setup, don't do anything, don't try to reset it up. Just reboot the phone. I did this a couple of times when I had the issue and when the phone came back up everything was back to normal, account still related and pinned music still pinned. Admittedly I can't remember the precise point to reboot it but I definitely saw it work.

Rooted: After ROM Install - Pics/Music Disspear from View

Rooted my Galaxy Nexus - Sprint today.
Not a stranger to rooting, had a nexus s and evo before that... but am having something odd going on.
Transfered pics from previous phone along with music and ringtones. They show up when I first bring a rom up (have tried 3-4 today and only installed basic stuff). Literally, you can go into the gallery app and watch the photos be found, and then start to be removed.
After a few minutes of running - none of the pics or music are visable in the gallery or google play. If I grab a file explorer program - they are all there. Also QuickPic shows the pictures.
What the heck is going on here? It's like a process is scanning the folders, seeing them and then deciding to discard the files from view.
Strange stuff.
Is it possible something on the storage card got hosed? I'd wipe it but the recovery files, backup etc are on there. I've seen some reports of this happening to others - but most say to clear data or use SDRescan - and that's not worked for me.
Was hoping I would wake up this morning and this would all have sorted itself out but no luck - anyone have any ideas?
I am also dealing with this issue.
Just uploaded a rom and kernal for the first time and copied my old Music folder and pasted it onto the phone. The File Manager sees it but when I go to the music player there's nothing there.
Its an issue with ROM manager

Rom manager wasn't there to begin with
Answer: Didn't matter/didn't come up
So - not knowing the answer yet - I was removing the .nomedia file and trying everything but couldn't get the new roms to see my pics and music. Highly frustrating and messed around for a day clearing cache, clearing program data. Still nothing. Ran SDRescan and similar programs - nothing.
By chance installed PowerAMP media player to see if it would see the music. After it did it's own scan - suddenly - everything started showing up in the play music player, apollo and gallery. Something about what it does kick started Android into seeing things. Odd.
So, What you are saying is this is caused by ROM manager? Are they aware of the issue and fixing? Would be a pain updating existing ROM's if you had to uninstall, install, uninstall, install etc....
Yeah, he released an update lastnight. The new update doesn't place the .nomedia file on the sdcard.

What I did was remove the .nomedia file from the root of the SD card then copied the media files in question to my laptop. I then deleted thos folders from the SD card and copied everything back in and it started working again.

Error while downloading MX Player

Hello. I am having trouble downloading MX Player or MX Player Pro from the Play Store.
I get error -504. Now I have bought the pro version but I still get the error. I have used it for years. I have looked up error -504 and this is what I have done.
I pirated MX Player Pro (even though I own it in the playstore). It either fails to install, or fails to run (force close).
I cleared data/cache on the Play Store App, and Google Play Services (or whatever it is called. I followed the how to fix post with all the play store errors post on xda).
and I removed my gmail accounts, then rebooted, relogged into my main one (the acct that owns MX Player Pro), tried installing. Fail.
So I wiped my phone re-flashed adren 2.0 and logged in. Still fails to download from playstore or my /downloaded MX Player (from their site). Failure
I Contacted MX Player Pro's dev and he said its a playstore issue. Yet somehow it won't work.
I just wiped again and I installed CM12.1 Candyrom. I am going to try using CM to see if it will install.
I have an idea of what happened. I think I might have been in the middle of installing MX Player Pro when I rebooted and now somehow it won't install to my account. So while I am using CM12.1 I will log into my secondary account and install the non pro version
After I flashed CM12.1 Candyrom (VZW beta), I logged into my main account and installed MX Player Pro just fine. Loaded Just Fine, and played a video just fine. Something else I noticed when using CM 12.1 was that when I told it to power off, it powered off correctly (instead of the black screen with blue HTC screen bug).
Anyone have ideas about why it is this way? I am about to restore my backup and try installing it again!

I have been troubleshooting this phone since i rooted it lol. The last issue i have to figure out is just an annoyance and doesn't really hinder the use of my phone. Thanks.

Verizon Xperia Play Market app keeps crashing/failing, can't get Play Storeonto phone

Hello all, reached into a drawer to mess with xperia play I want to sell after a few years. I have a 8 gb card in it (learned that it acts silly on usb without that), but the issue is that the Market app seems broken and the phone is seemingly not updating it to google play.
I seem to remember that back in the day my xperia play when reset would after a few minutes/hours of being connected to wifi and connected to a google account would update the Market app to the Play Store and things would work fine. Not this time. I"m worried that if I sell it like this the buyer will be unhappy and come back to me.
Market says:
"attention, a server error has occurred, retry or acancela nd return to the previous screen." Retrying twice puts it back on a load screen which seems to do nothing. Hitting menu button brings up search, my apps, settings and help as normal, help loads up website, settings brings up settings as seemingly normal...
Please help! Device is vanilla, unrooted, never was, and sd card is 8gb and freshly formatted.
Did you find a fix for this? IT was working great until I did a factory reset now I'm stuck with this error I have tried resetting again. Clearing data and catch it doesn't do anything.

Sadly no, no solution. I sold the phone and the buyer has left me positive feedback, I assume his intention was to go full out and put on a CFW to what he wanted with it. Someone on reddit suggested that gingerbread may to be too old to receive updates now and that all xperia plays might be in the same boat.
As for me, I'm using an Nvidia Shield, Tuvva gamepad and GP7 these days. I do miss the Xperia Play's portability and other strengths. If I could have a xperia play with updated specs and a 5 inch or bigger screen I would buy it on launch day.
I downloaded a Play Store apk and installed that and it automatically updates the market to Play store. Hope that helps.
