Yeah, I like it. Wish it came with music controls for the notification bar.

Google+ 2.0 added to OP.
I really hope there's more coming!

Is that G+ much different than what we have now?

is anyone else having issues logging into the app? I've tried clearing data and uninstalling, but there's no where to log into the google music servers. is this just the stand alone music app?

I even don't find google music option in Accounts & Sync settings.

The Google+ link no longer works.
Here is a few mirrors.

When you initially start up the music app it asks for permission to presumably connect with google servers and sync your music, but it didn't work. And like a few others said, there are no options to sync anything in the menu.

Music app works fine for me, though it never asked me for permission for anything. All my cloud based music played though. Google+ is hung up at Signing in...

Not working at all for me. I uninstalled all previous versions of google music, and I try running the new apk everything looks good but says "application not installed". Running 2.3.6 any ideas folks?

Which steps did you follow when you installed the new version?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Music 4.0 needs to be push to system/app to get sync option back on menu
Also need to remove old version

I deleted market Music, installed new version, wiped data on applications menu then new music worked fine, synced everything.
Same with Google+, uninstalled current, installed new, didn't need to clear data/cache for it, and signed into the new app, works great.

This did not work for me at all. Didn't even recognize that I pushed it to system/app
Going back to the old one I guess
Edit: now I can't figure out how to remove it from /system. I did searches in supermanager for it, rebooted, tried to reinstall the market app; all that said was package file signed incorrectly. So basically it's a big mess now.
I would recommend NOT, NOT pushing this to system/app

Also, for Google Plus if you push it int System/App it'll work.

for a few days every few hours even though i had it set to 30 minutes it didnt work right. now its been updating every half hour and still the same crazy data. i mean its only a few lines of text for each article. i only have 10 newest showing. it doesnt make any sense. something has to be going on in the background that i dont know of.

hory chit
the battery life was probably terrible if it used this much :/

That's crazy! Have you mailed the developers? It must be images or something, text couldn't add up to that. Maybe leave it connected to your wifi and run wireshark or something (if you've got an adapter that will run promiscuous mode properly) - maybe you can see what it's doing...

Images? Forget about images, this has to be downloading high quality videos to get to 9GB.

I have some serious security concerns about what this app is doing. You should try to sniff the data and see how much its sending versus receiving. I'd be curious to know what IP addresses it is communicating with. Did you install it directly from the market?

Hi,
I am the dev of this app.
1. when you have such trouble, please contact me by email (hopefully somebody did).
2. check if it load images and images sizes. It doesn't load 'thumbnails' from the websites, but full images if thumbnails are not available ... so, if the website use big images of 2Mb ... it can goes quickly.
3. disable widget cache if it was enable
4. here is my widget with 3h refresh period and 8 feeds :
http://pureapps.planethoster.org/images/presentation/pne_data.png
5. if you use the internal viewer, all browsing you does in the viewer is counted ... video streaming, downloads...
@deekjx : For comments about 'security concerns', dump the UDP/TCP trafic if you want, there is nothing hidden. But, please, be careful before publishing such comments. Now, if the app doesn't come from the market, you can be right... few users reported Pure calendar hacked bersions containing viruses because they got it from a 'forum'.
Please, email me logcats just after a manual refresh to check what is wrong.

Same for me too
Switched to manual update worked fine. contacted dev through market

Does using Google+ INSTANT UPLOAD feature cause high battery drain?

Does using Google+ INSTANT UPLOAD feature cause high battery drain?
My phone used to be able to go into DEEP SLEEP mode but ever since I turned on G+ Instant Upload feature, my phone looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: The phone is NOT actually uploading anything at the time of the screen shot. G+ Instant Upload uses tons of battery just doing nothing! The battery was 100% and the phone was in sleep mode the whole time.
Is this happening to anyone else? I'm on Kang milestone 1. How do we let Google know that their G+ app sucks?

I don't see this myself.
I'm on 4.0.2 and using the latest Google+ app.
I can see that Google+ has the potential to cause problems if it were trying to upload photos on a poor connection.. that could certainly explain similar the behaviour you saw.

ditto. I used Google + upload feature once. Until I realized it uploaded a ton of crap to Google I really didn't want online. I specifically opted to not upload automatically. I didn't even notice it until I bought my son a nook tablet for Christmas. Hacked it of course, and in the Gallery was a ton of photos from Google plus. Glad I found them when I did.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - AOSP KANG
Asus Transformer - 3.2.1 OC/UV

The choice is there for all to choose.
Personally I use Android and Google+ mainly for this feature. I think it suits my needs well to have every photo I take uploaded to Picasa (now Google+) in a private album ready for sharing when I need to.
But.. if it's not for you, disable instant upload.

I like the feature. It's nice having automatic cloud backup of your phone gallery. But, it's not nice when the phone screen is off, it's not loading anything and yet drains the battery like no other.
After using CPU spy, I also noticed that it's not going into DEEP SLEEP anymore.
I turned of INSTANT UPLOAD for now to see if it can DEEP SLEEP again.

I haven't had any problems on 4.0.2 with current Google+ I only allow my photos to be uploaded via wifi.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Actually it's the messager+ feature of google plus that ran away with the battery on mine even though I never used it. It was constantly using the battery running something called the friend locator service in maps. I think it was latitude. I killed it and disabled latitude (which I never enabled) and my battery skyrocketed.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Don't have this problem and I use that feature a lot. Maybe try reinstalling it. Or have it set to not upload on battery.

That's what I'm going to try next. My phone was DEEP SLEEPING just fine before this.
BTW, I think this is an ICS issue. My friend's Evo 3D DEEP SLEEPS just fine with INSTANT UPLOAD enabled all the time.

BTW, there is no indicator as to when instant upload is uploading pictures, so you wouldn't actually know when it is.

Are you sure? Cuz on mine, it actually said, "uploading 212/398"
But when it was done, it had no message and I hadn't taken any new images or video.

I set it to upload on charger only, so it upload nightly on my nightstand. No problem what so ever.

Are you sure you're using the latest version (2.3.1.242969)?
For some reason the latest G+ update doesn't show up in the "Apps that need updating" list.
You have to manually search it in the market and then you'll see that there is an update.

I had the same issue as OP where Google+ was taking approx 66% of battery even when the phone was idle, and I had not been actively using Google+ previously. I assumed that perhaps instant upload was uploading the rest of the pics that I manually placed in the DCIM folder, but never bothered verifying.
In settings->Appls, I noticed that I could disable Google+ which is what i did, since then battery life is awesome! (you may need to un-install a Google+ update before getting the 'disable' option)

Did you manually force it to upload your library? Because normally when it uploads by itself there's no notification.

I had the same issue once. Found that G+ was trying to upload several large videos along with my pictures. I had set it to upload only via wifi... The videos were really big and never uploaded but the battery drained just like the OP. I had to move the videos from my camera folder to another one. Once the videos got out of the camera folder, the battery drain stopped and haven't had any other problems since.
I wish Google would give an option to upload videos. I love the instant upload feature...but hate it does not let you opt out of uploading videos.

If I use stock 4.1.1 and stock 4.1.2, I can see and install Photoshop Touch.
Anything other than stock, including using CM10 or AOKP roms, then I can see but cannot install Photoshop Touch with a message saying it is incompatible with my rom.

My solution was to install an old apk of the software (found on the web, any will do). Then, since I actually bought the app, it simply proposed me to update through the Store.

I must be doing something wrong. Attempted the same thing, I'm not rooted nor do I currently wish to be (long story there, I'll leave my Xoom to be the rooted one for now) but as it stands, this did not work for me.
Upon installation on 4.1.2, the market recognized Adobe Proto and Adobe Ideas were installed. I cannot get these to update via the store since they are still seen as incompatible with my Nexus 7. Great...
And I paid for those two.

[edit]
Just had an email response from Google Play regarding the purchase of the app and subsequently being unable to reinstall after a factory reset.
Here is what they wrote:
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for writing back. I do see that you've done a factory data reset. I'm sorry to hear you're still experiencing this issue. Apparently you were able to download the app before but it is correct that the app isn't actually compatible with the Nexus 7.
If you're still not able to find a certain app, please keep in mind apps that aren’t compatible with your device are hidden when you search for them on Google Play. Developers of Android apps can choose to filter devices based on a variety of criteria, including Android OS version, carrier, location, or even screen size. According to our records, Adobe Photoshop Touch is incompatible with your device because it doesn't match the developer's specifications on for the device's screen density.
Because you were able to purchase this app and are now unable to use it, I've gone ahead and filed this refund request on your behalf - you'll receive another email within 14 business days confirming that the request has been processed.
Thanks in advance for your patience, and if you have additional questions or if you don't receive a second email with this confirmation, please let me know.
Regards,
Eddie

Guess that answers one question, however I still can't understand how I was able to purchase it directly from Google Play. The app itself runs perfect on the N7, so maybe it's now up to Adobe to support our device....

I spent two+ hours last night trying to spoof my N7 as various compatible tablets so I could download it, and succeeded only in soft-bricking (fixed by reflashing OTA).
It looks like Google has closed some/all of the loopholes that used to allow you to fool the store. Nothing I tried worked.

with my current rom i am able to buy the app on the store. my rom is aosp based. no tweeks to the market that i know of. no build prompt changes. no idea what im doing right but it is not hidden or unavailable in any way for me

I'm on stock 4.2.1 and it shows up for me. 9.99

Yea they just recently updated it make it officially work on the N7. It's totally worth the money btw, Ive been using it since it was released and now that it can edit images up to 12mp it's SUPER useful.

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.
