YouTube in the background?

Is there a way to keep YouTube running music in the background as I'm exploring other apps? Coming from a pre there was a patch for this

Sorry, my bad.
Not used android before, I will also assume there isn't a hombrew/overclocking/patching repository and app like preware?
Also no way to enable flash in the background when flash becomes available?

Seems pretty silly having multi-core processing without the ability to multitask, doesn't it?

You don't know much about Android, do you?
Android does have ability to multitask. It is just an effective multitasking. Applications can be left 'running' without them actually running. They are written in memory and kept there, without taking battery, until they are called back and continue on from where they left off. But Android also allows applications to open services in the background, triggered by specific time or event or by an application, that allows them to work while the application is not in focus. Many music players are done this way. Also a lot of apps synchronize in the background in this manner.
It is entirely the application developers decision to do what is best for the specific application. Android 4.0 gives all the tools the user needs. This is not Windows desktop where every working application and process takes processing power to keep running.

Would be awesome then if someone made a YouTube app that worked in the background

It'll never happen for the same reason that not all videos are viewable on mobile. You're using the service to watch something, not listen.

i know a jailbroken iphone has an app for that

iOS supports background audio in the browser and youtube app. I was hoping that ICS will support it.

Guys i need help this is really weird.

Me and my friend both have a galaxy nexus. Running 100% stock 4.0.2
Same baseband same version number blah blah blah...
I had his phone earlier and noticed his music app was now called play music but mine was still just music.
I tried to search for the app on the market but it doesnt show up.
If i go on the market from a PC it shows up and says its compatible with my device.
I then noticed that my play movies was missing from my app drawer.
Again i loaded up market and there it was but it says installed!!!
I clicked on the app and it says update. I click update and it just says "error your order is being processed" and then it never updates.
I can open the app from the market but it doesnt show up on my phone at all.
It wont even show up if i go into setting>apps> and look under the all apps tab.
Can anyone help me out with this? What the hell is up with my phone???

Have you tried to clear the Google Play (Market) cache? Rebooted phone?

Yeah i cleared google play store cache and data and turned phone off for 30 minutes while i was working and its still the same.

Try getting 'market enabler' and temporarily spoofing the T-mobile network (US), then see if your able to update.

Update...
I logged onto the market through my PC and it let me install the play movies app to my device no problem.
The play music app though says installed and if I click to install again it says it will be installed but it never does.
This must be available in the UK because my friend has it on his device running exact same firmware as me...
Why the hell won't this thing install!!?!?!?!?

Google Music is not available in the UK yet. The app comes pre installed but is not available when looking at the market. If your having issues downloading or updating from the market then install it manually (apk here!)

So im supposed to have the purple headphones icon thats just called "music" right?
Not the gold headphones?
I just quizzed my friend about it to see if theres something hes not telling me and he swears hes still 100% stock and hasnt done anything to get the play music apk.
if you could just confirm that im supposed to have the purple headphones icon called music that would be great.
Thanks for replies guys really appreciated.

This Logo?
This is what the logo was until it was rebranded to Google Play Music. Which is now this logo
Both of these logos are for the same app, just different versions (with no actual feature differences).
Your friend may have had the newest version of google music pushed to his phone. This happened to me too. But don't worry, your not actually missing anything.

Yeah thats right i have the grey and orange icon ( sorry for some reason though it was purple ) and my friend has the gold icon.
LOL i have just noticed at the very bottom of the description of the app on the market it says available in the US only... Wish i read that earlier <<noob>>
I guess i just leave it then and see if it updates in its own time.
thanks for the replies you was very helpful.
Ill hit the thanks button when i get home. Im on a work computer that has 100 year old internet explorer on it so it doesnt display the page properly.

nope it's not only available in the us. I live in Germany and today I've got an update which installed play music play books and play movies. they don't work here either but I still got that update.

Thats interesting. Are you sure your not spoofing your carrier for the market? Otherwise Google might be rolling the app out outside of the states now

OK update...
The music app showed up in my market as an update just now so I have the play music version....
I still can't get the play movies to show up in the my apps part of the play store. If I search for the app manually it shows up and says installed. It just doesnt show up as installed in the my apps part.
And yeah they must be pushing the app out to other places now. I can't see how you sync though unless that's not available yet still for UK .

Are you talking about syncing your own collection via Google Music in the UK? It is possible because I've done it... and its awesome!! Just have a search on Google for 'google music uk' or something and I'm sure you'll find a tutorial. (Be warned, depending on your library size it may take a while to upload your music. Mine took about a month off and on)

I'm not too sure really. I can find it on the market so it's not a regional issue. Just find the apk online and install it manually. If you can't find it I'll be happy to upload it just let me know.

Nono,
I have the app installed no problem from the market.
The issue is if i go into the "my apps" part the app isnt listed as installed on my device.
But if i do a manual search for the app as if you was looking for something new to install it shows up in the list and says installed.
Im wondering why its not showing in the "my apps" part of the market?

Oh right. Well I just had a look on mine and I can't find it either. It could either be a bug within the market or a feature that google added (for some unthinkable reason). But I'd guess everyone has this issue. Nothing to worry about though really

Google Music only 10 devices allowed

Check out this thread on google music if you use it and love to flash rooms. Says google music will only allow 10 devices, so if you flash a lot of rooms you may have to open a new account

No sweat, just deauthorize your google device friends..
"Sign into your Google Music account via a PC. In the upper right most corner of the Music page, right next to your photo, if you have one, is the cog. Click on the cog and you will be presented with options. Select music settings and viola. You will quickly and easily see every device currently authorized to your Google music account along with their dates."

You can only dauthorize 4 devices a year now.

Just tested it and it will only allow 4 devices to be deauthorized before it gives you the "sorry you have deauthorized to many devices" message. That's going to be problematic if you change DD's every other month.

Google sooooo stupid.

At least you guys get Google Music, it's not available here in Canada. Well technically it's not available, there are ways around it I guess but you still don't get the whole service/experience.

Try wiping it through titanium.

It sucks as a service anyway. You have to jump through hoops just to get what you pay for in a format that you can take elsewhere. I use it like the Amazon app store, download freebies or cheap stuff and ignore it otherwise.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I really hate this since I use this a lot. Will we have to re-authorize if we restore google music though Titanium?

According to the edit, Google has fixed the issue but the deauthorization still shows 4 as the limit.

I just went through and deauthorized 9 accounts like a week ago. Who knows.

They should have updated to an unlimited amount as of the new year and I could be wrong but I believe it registers devices not roms.. meaning if you flash a rom for our t989..that's 1 device regardless if its juggs, cm7 or darkside.. build.prop will determine device

this might be a little off topic, but is there a music app that lets me create a playlist easily without having to add songs 1 by 1? i just want to be able to play my 2000 songs in random order without the same songs repeating. i tried to do this by play shuffle all but once it stops and i start the next day, some song from previous day gets played again.

They reverted back till they make it where it.reads.the.phone id number because.the.build.prop was a stupid idea.

In subsonic you can just add everything to play then shuffle and save the playlist. At most it would be 26 + numbered artist names to add via play now. The random shuffle feature doesn't add very many songs. I think one file manager will allow you to create a playlist just by selecting the directory that contains the music. Its not estrongs. Can't remember the name of it.

Awesome they reverted back, I was able to deauthorize the remaining 4!

Two questions

Hi Guys
1. Is there a way to remove unwanted apps from my apps in Google play?
2. Is there a mod to stop music being interrupted by notifications or the least by co-pilot gps?

1. There is two type of apps installed. First type is normal app, which you installed from Google Play or Manually. Second type is system app which come along with the phone, you can saw those on first boot. YOu can't uninstalled those, but you can disabled them through Settings >> Apps.
2. As what i knew, the answer is no. In common sense, a phone notification(sms..) is crucial than music playback.

Thx Man
Point 1 I know I just want to get rid off apps in my apps in Google play. You know apps that you installed to test and did not like or apps you do not use/can not use anymore like my old Motorola apps from very old android that are now part of os.
Point 2 odd excuse it is for me to decide not them. Other OS's out there (old or new) do not have that issue.

On a cm rom I used back on my xperia x8 music was lowered to play the notification and not cut out completely, so it can be done.

1. If your app comes from Google play, you can uninstall from setting->app and choose app that you want to uninstall
2. If your app comes within your ROM, you can install root explorer and then open choose system-> app from that folder choose apk that you want to uninstall after that reboot your phone to take the effect..
Note : for option 2 your phone must be rooted..

Sure it can be done, but for now no developers is providing this mod. As what i know this will need to tweak allow muxing channels. I remembered the ICS add some support for audio channels.

Regarding your first question (seeing as everyone seems to have misunderstood and is telling you how to remove apps from your device); no, I don't think there's any way to do that. The Play store always shows all apps you've ever installed and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify that behaviour (either on the device or on the web). I'm not sure of the logic behind not being able to edit that history.

Make a new google-account? No history anymore

And no purchased apps and no mail and no good solution.

2 silent mode should prevent notification from interrupting music

It's alright, but you gotta be on Windows 10-- probably why it lags so bad? And tbh, I've only tried to run Magic the Gathering Arena </plug> but I do have to say this in it's defense.... using the stylus to play MtGA has been the best remote access app I've tried (for me anyway-- better than WRD, Remotr, TeamViewer, etc etc).
