I have a weird problem maybe someone could help me? I use my phone everynite as i work overnites and i stream music from my google music player 5 nites a week. But heres the weird problem? When i had my vibrant it would play music endlessly for hours with no buffering, no dead space between songs. Now that i have this phone it doesnt play it continously anymore, it will buffer between songs for like anywhere from a min up to 5 min. I know its not the building because my vibrant played fine in it???
Do i need to change my network mode? is there anything i can do to fix it? Is anyone else having this problem??? ty for ur help guys!!!
its not a major problem, just a small annoyance hoping i can fix!
From my experience I think it has to do with the library not being synchronize to the phone yet.
It played fine on your Vibrant because it was synced to it, now that you got a new phone it needs to sync in it's entirely in order to play continuously.
On my phone (not a SGS2, yet) it does the same thing, but I'm constantly switching roms so it never gets to completely synchronize.
I would say just give it some time and it will eventually all sync.
It helps if you got it connected to wifi. Less buffering.
Not sure if changing any settings can help other than going to the app and selecting the option to hide unavailable music.
lets hope ur right because its annoying!!

I also have this problem. I want to uninstall this bullcrap but can't. Well I know I can but I don't want to go that route yet.
Also, have you experienced your songs missing from your playlists when using the other music player? I was soooo mad. It takes soo much time just to go thru and organize it. IDK WTH happened to it. The playlists are still there but no songs!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yeah now that you mentioned it, songs are missing on the playlist as well...not sure if its an issue with google music or the phone. i hope someone else can respond with a solution!
This happens to me every time. I am about to go back to 4.0.4 if they do not fix this quick.
It only started with the Jelly Bean update.
Hello, this is my dad's phone and I'm used to Samsung so everything is a bit different. I've been searching for a fix for hours but nothing seems to work, I have the latest version of YouTube and I simply can't play YouTube videos from both the app and browser. It will play for around 4 seconds, stop and start over like 3 seconds later to do the exact same thing. I had this issue with other videos as well but fixed that by using a different video player. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks, Johan.
Fixed it using a bit of common sense, can't believe I didn't see that earlier.
Mods can close this now if they want to.
It came back for some reason, can anyone help?
The new Google Play Music update has caused some real headache for me and, as I'm finding, a number of other LG Optimus G owners. I get a couple minutes into a song and then everything stops. Error message: "Couldn't play the stream you requested."
As an experiment, I played Mackelmore's "Thrift Shop" 14x this morning (I am so sick of that song now) and the track stops within 2-3 seconds of the 2:35 mark every single time. This is not a problem on my Nexus 7. This is not a problem on my PC. This is only a problem on my phone.
3G, 4G, Wifi. same result, my songs stop playing mid-way through.
Riding in my car or sitting at my desk or in my living room, same result, my songs stop playing mid-way through.
My tracks or All Access tracks, same result, my songs stop playing mid-way through.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and, if so, how have you fixed it.
Thanks.
Update
Just got a reply from Support. They obviously did not read my email.
Hello Ryan,
Thanks for contacting our support team.
Playback issues can occur if your internet connection was lost or the speed of your connection changed while streaming. In addition, it is possible that there is an issue with the music file that you originally downloaded.
If the problem occurs while streaming music, please try playing the original file you added locally to determine if this is related to your internet connection. The issue is most likely related to your internet connection if the problem doesn't occur when playing the original file.
Please let me know if you have any other Google Play questions that I can further assist with.
Best Regards,
Samantha
I'm having this problem on the AT&T version of this phone. The problem appears to go deeper than mere connectivity: I'll get the error even with music that I have "pinned" (downloaded to my phone for offline listening). And I too have seen multiple LGOG users with this issue -- and no one else.
I think I'll have to try loading a custom ROM when I get home. I really hope the problem isn't the hardware itself, but I'm not optimistic.

Lovely. There's also a thread over at productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/mobile/A01ByhnMKOQ that might be helpful. Thanks.
I haven't been using the app too much (maybe about 3 hours worth of listening, both All Access and my tracks, since yesterday) but I haven't encountered any issues. I am rooted and running EOS, if that matters.
ATT version here
if i have a song playing from all acess, not locally orginated, it will stop playing at about 2:30 min - 3:00 min. If i start the song over and try to skiip to the part it stopped on, it ill play for about 4 seconds and then same error again.
Any fix for this? is it just too new?
I'm also having this problem but it doesn't occur with my Asus transformer pad. Does running a custom rom fix this?

I don't think this is a hardware issue. I hope as more updates are released this is fixed but idk how soon that it is.

I'm also having this issue. But I'm sprint LG Optimus G rooted 4.1. I've tried several things related to streaming errors in the past like making sure the hosts file is ok as well as setting lpa.decode to false. But no dice.
Does running a custom rom fix this?

I just installed EOS and so far I'm several songs in without it stopping. So, yes I think a custom ROM fixes this.
Thats good. Im just scared to unlock my bootloader because my freegee bricked me last time lol
Same issue here. Also whenever I try to start a "radio" it just tells me the "radio could not start"
Seems this new version is broken for us as the older version worked fine.
I'll just stick to iheart for now and see what they do to fix it.
I'm on CM10.1 and do have this issue once in a while. It's very rare though.
So sad.. Updated to the latest version, hoping it would fix the problem. I got past that 2:35 mark! But only just past. Still busted. Still waiting for Google support.

I was able to get in contact with google support and send them some logs when the problem occurred. Anyone else who has the problem try and get ahold of support and tell them that you've already tried to reinstall the app, reboot the phone and clear it's cache. Send them the logs too if you can.
try this go to Settings -> Apps -> Media Storage -> Clear Data

Are you sure this works? Have you done it?
It worked for a few hours, after that everything went back to the same issue. I moved to an asop rom and it is working just fine. I guess the problem is related with the lg rom
