Hello,
I recently installed the newest rom on my phone, and it is fantastic, however I'm having an issue installing the google music app (so I can stream from the google servers).
I keep getting the error
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
I don't have any other versions of google music in the application list in settings, or titanium backup. I also checked the /system/app folder and the google app isn't there from what I can tell.
I tried manually removing the "music" app (which was musicplayer.apk) but that didn't help either.
I've cleared all market data.
Did anyone else have this issue or know a solution? This is a must have app for me, and I really like this fast rom and want to keep it.
Thanks,
Austin
I think the really amazing thing would be to see the Google Music app actually work correctly on our phones in the first place.
I've tried it, on several different roms, and it always has the same problem.
I use it strictly for my local mp3 collection. I set it to shuffle, let it play, turn off the screen (or let it time out, whatever works), and after that song plays, the player stops. If I turn the screen on again, it starts playing the next song, but this is far from correct behavior.
So, I don't know if there's an app that will let you play your Google cloud-based music that isn't the official Music app, but if there is, I'd use that instead.
Sorry, that's just my two cents. I know it's not really helpful.
You might check to see if there is an associated .so file in /system/lib, but that starts to get into dangerous territory.
Hmm... I've got the same rom on my phone and it's working fine. Have you tried finding an apk and installing directly from it? Might be something else going on.

I actually just backed everything with titanium backup then wiped everything then reinstalled and I have the app now. I think the app was originally there just not in the applications list. I didn't see it in the apps folder when I looked with root explorer.Thanks for the replies though.
I’ve had my Epic 4G since August of last year. I ended service with Sprint in the following month and bought the Epic 4G outright to use as an Android device. So I have no data plan on it, I can only go online and download things if there is a wifi connection present. Since I have no home wifi, that means a lot of trips to McDonald’s and Starbucks and the local library. The phone I use to make calls is a cheapo phone on Cricket’s network.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I rooted my phone using QBKing’s tutorial video on Youtube. I am now on Gingerbread.FC09. Everything seemed to work fine. I went to a wifi spot, downloaded Titanium Backup from the Google Play store, everything still worked. I used Titanium Backup to delete four things: Amazon MP3, Nascar, Sprint Football, and Sprint TV & Movies. Nothing else. After that deletion, however, when I try to go to the Google Play Store on a wifi connection, it closes. Not force closes, just…opens than closes as if it was never open in the first place.
I have tried:
-talking to QBKing himself about it (he can’t figure it out either)
-clearing the partition
-clearing the Delvik cache
-finding the most recent version of Google Play Store, downloading it to my phone via mass storage, and installing it by double clicking the apk
-Uninstalling updates for Google Play Store (“clear cache” and “clear data” is always greyed out)
-Deleting Titanium Backup
None of these actions have had any effect. I can still surf the net normally, even upload videos to Youtube. Nothing has been effected except my ability to open Play Store. I even get update notifications that I have apps that need updating.
I have searched xda and while I have found threads with similar issues, none for the Epic 4G. I am not sure if I should take an answer I saw for a completely different phone by a completely different maker and apply it to mine. Plus I wonder if my problem is unique given that I have a phone with no service.
Other info that might help:
-I have Google Services Framework Version 2.3.7. I can’t seem to find a more recent version of that.
-Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
-No roms, at all, I’ve been too focused on trying to get Google Play Store to work again to even think about getting and flashing roms.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Try removing your Google account and re-adding it.

Okay...I went through Accounts and Sync and selected the google account under Manage accounts. Selected remove account, got the warning if I really want to delete it, I selected remove account...then got a popup saying I can only remove this account by resetting the phone to factory defaults.
I've already backed up my phone through clockwork (ate up a bit of my microSD card but its there). So if the only way to delete my Google account is to factory reset my phone, I can get it all back in recovery? But won't it also "recover" the same problem?

Set up another google account, then delete your original one, then set it back up... it will only let you delete your google account if you have more than one set up....
I'm in your shoes as I use my non-activated Epic 4G over WIFI. Do yourself a favor and reflash with Cyanogenmod 9 release ROM and apps:

My Epic 4G has become great to awesome after doing so and Google Play works fine.

Okay, I just went to the local McD's for wifi, set up another Google account, tried to delete the old one...and it gave me the same warning that I have to reset the phone to factory settings to do this. Apparently the first Google account is connected to too many things to just delete it.

I believe you need to clear the data/cache from the Google account manager app in order for it to let you delete that account.
It's one of the google apps anyways. Can't remember exactly which one at the moment.

Okay I have the cyanogenmod saved to my sd card, but I can't seem to download the gapps zip from your link nor from google searches. I'll give it a try when I can. I am kind of hesitant to do this, but...I've already backed up everything in recovery plus I reinstalled Titanium Backup and backed up my apps, so...I should be good to go whenever the gapps zip becomes available. For now I am going to try and figure out what app GuidingArrow is talking about.
Okay, I found a functioning gapps from the official wiki site. So I have flashed my phone following, again, a QBKing tutorial. This Cyanogenmod seems pretty cool. My camera seems to be downgraded, but other than that, nice. I am about to go to a McD's and...hope for the best regarding the Google Play store.
Problem Solved
When I flashed it to Cyanogenmod 9, I soft bricked my phone by trying to install backup (oops). So, I used Odin to restore to stock then rerooted.
Turns out the problem all along was...nothing was mentioned in the vid I saw about flashing the gapps right after flashing the rom. But It was mentioned in the video for flashing to Cyanogenmod 9, so when I restored to stock and then rerooted I flashed gapps this time. And voila, I have the Google Play Store working again. I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps, readded my Google account, and everything is fine and dandy again.
The only thing is, I have decided not to go back to Cyanogenmod 9 for now, not without more research. One of the most important features on the Epic 4G (to me anyway), is the camera, and when I was briefly on Cyanogenmod 9 before I soft bricked my phone, the camera seemed...downgraded, to have less features than it has now. Just going to do more research on that end before flashing it again.

Hey folks,
I have a strange problem with the YouTube application where I cannot get preloading to work. Essentially, I am simply checking the "Preloading subscriptions" and "Preload watch later" under the "Preloading" menu in the Settings. I understand it will download my videos once I am connected to WiFi and charging. The interesting thing is that it initially works and starts downloading the videos, and I see the green and white arrows on the videos in my channel feed indicating that the videos has been downloaded or is in the process of doing so. However, the preloaded videos will end up clearing (whether I watch them or not) at random times. I have tried different iterations of things to determine what is going on and the one definitive thing I notice that is happening is that the YouTube application is randomly signing me out. Every time I notice that the videos are gone (memory on the SD card gains about 500MB), I go into the YouTube app and the "Signing In" screen appears, and then my Channel Feed shows. Usually, YouTube is always signed in (never see the Signing In screen) and this random signing out only occurs when I enable the Preloading features, oddly. I understand why the preloaded videos get cleared, as YouTube needs to have the account logged in to know your Subscriptions and Watch Later list. Once logged out, YouTube starts cleaning out the preloaded data. This is logical, but counterproductive to this feature and seems like a bug. Yet, in my searches I have not found anyone with this similar issue. Also, I have had my device and using YouTube for a year, but never used the preloading features until last week as I just stumbled on this helpful feature.
Sorry about the long-winded description. Basically, the bottom line is that when I enable the Preloading features, it causes the YouTube app to log my account out at random times, which makes the preloading features useless. Has anyone ever had this issue and is there a solution?
I have a T-mobile Galaxy SII with the Stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4 ROM (baseband: T989UVLI4). I have tried clearing the data on the YouTube application, uninstalled and then re-installed the updates, but so far the same behavior persists. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Did you recently update the Youtube app, because the app has had quite a bit of bugs lately. And you could try a substitute app: Tubemate that you can download on their website (google it). Tubemate lets you download youtube videos.

Ah, actually that is interesting. The latest update was on 2/22/13, which I have done, and looking in the reviews on the Play Store, I see folks are having some different issues that were not present before the upgrade. One recent post from a Galaxy S3 user posted about the application randomly signing out after this update. So, perhaps that is the issue where it is just an introduced bug in this latest version. I have just noticed this now since I was just trying out Preloading the first time a few days ago and this has been the only issue I have had. I do not know if Preloading worked before the upgrade as I never enabled it before.
Thanks for the insight. :good: I will just not worry about preloading for now and wait for another update which hopefully addresses the random signing out and possibly make the preloading work.
In fact, perusing more reviews in the Play Store for the YouTube app, seems to have a lot of complaints regarding the app not staying signed in. Clearly, this is the issue that is breaking the preloading functionality. Folks are also complaining about the YouTube widget not working as well, which is also related to the account not staying signed in.

My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.
After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.
Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.
What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:
The Nexus 7 is great but my experience was short lived.
I don't know if it was a bad tablet or bad encryption but something seriously broke. I wanted to add my company email to my tablet and part of that process involves enabling encryption on my device. Everything was fine and running well, until I plugged it in for the night. At some point my Nexus rebooted and it was at the pre OS screen asking for encryption credentials. I thought that was weird but entered my info. It chugs along fine until it loads my lock screen where I immediately notice it no longer was asking for a PIN and my background changed back to the default. I go to my home screen and noticed my widgets weren't loading and I started getting error messages saying Currents and Play Store stopped responding. I try and access those apps but they go straight to a crash message.
I go ahead and factory reset it and when I tried to reapply the encryption it would go through the motions but it would never encrypt. I thought it was a bad reset and reset it again. Now it just hangs where it says Google and never boots up.
I ended up calling Google Support and I'm getting my Nexus replaced. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.
It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.
I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.
Until i came home from work today, that is.
Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.
I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.
After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.
and above all extremely slow.
I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.

Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?
After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
About 3-4 days ago my TW launcher started randomly crashing. I ended up going to the Google Now Launcher which crashes but less than TW. I'm sure there's an app not getting along with it but there is already an ongoing post about this issue.
I have a San Disk 64gb card in and photos are saved to there. Tonight I was getting ready to upload a picture from the gallery and when I opened it there no pictures to select from. I cleared the cache and reset the app, checked the settings to make sure scan device was enabled was checked and it is. I am able to open music and video from sdcard and apps no problem. I downloaded a 3rd party gallery app and it picks the sdcard photos no problem. Something is messed up with the gallery app. It still doesn't recognize pictures.
Anyone have this issue??

Its been going on with several of us. Most likely from the latest update of apps would be my guess. Im not an expert but this is when it began for me, also my wifes Note 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/help/touch-wiz-t3273048
For me deleting Facebook and restoring it to the original version that came with the phone fixed this issue
Well my gallery issues are fixed and I went back to TW. I cleared several apps. I also went into gadget Disabler and enabled bloatware reset the phone and then went into gadget Disabler again. I got rid of Allshare, Shealth, Chromecast, ATT Bloatware, SGear, and a couple widgets, Music, SMilk, Flipboard viewer. Everything else I left because I think some of the things that were picked messed up my Gallery and right now I have no lag so I'm pretty satisfied for now
