Ok first off, I love the Galaxy Nexus. However I am a very intense user and always push things to the limits
So I have noticed a few oddities:
1. This morning the volume went down on its down. I actually saw the volume bar appear and decrease, as if I was pushing down on the rocker. It happened twice. Both times I was hammering the phone so perhaps it's related to RAM? The first time I was moving six 400mb avi files from one folder to another using a file manager app, and listening to MP3s at the same time.
2. I heard this phone has visual voicemail, but my voicemails appear in the same way as they did before. (a text telling me to dial the vm number). Any ideas? I am on Vodafone UK contract.
3. When I bought the phone and turned it on, I entered my google account details. The phone then installed a bunch of apps I had installed on my last phone, the HTC Desire. Some of these apps I didn't want any more so I uninstalled them. This was all fine until I woke up this morning and found the phone had downloaded and reinstalled them again overnight!! What's going on here?! Will I wake up tomorrow to find them appear again?
4. The Android Market sometimes has the movies page, and sometimes doesn't. Very odd. It's up to date so I don't know what that's about. Also there's now a Vodafone section to the Market. It's a non-branded phone so I am a little surprised. There must be a network dedicated section now.
5. The BBC iPlayer is missing from the market. Why is this? I am in the UK and it's always been there before.
6. I have found it tough to find a movie player app that plays my avi and mkv files. Rockplayer doesn't want to work now. MXPlayer doesn't run at all. Mplayer is ok but the videos are not that smooth. What else is there to try??
I hope this post has given a helpful insight into the Galaxy Nexus - it would be great if an expert could please address some of these issues for me.
Thanks all
Jonny

I have noticed this too, odd! I thought it was because my hand was near it, but definitely haven't clicked the buttons so.. hrm!
I too have noticed that BBC Iplayer is missing.
Also, I went on the BBC website and tried a flash player video... not working.
Tried downloading flash and it's not compatible?
Anyone know why or if it is permanent?

I think I saw a thread saying that Diceplayer has been updated for the GN - not used it myself, but might be worth a look into. They claimed it's hw decoding avi and mkv.

You will find that because it is a new OS version, some apps will have to be updated to show in the market.
E.g. BBC probably labelled their iPlayer app as being compatible with Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb so until the app is updated it won't show for ICS users.
Other app makers may have just labelled the app as "works with all versions" or "works with Froyo or later" for example.
I too have had an issue with the volume going down and then immediately going up again. Quite weird. Only happened twice since yday.

For your visual voicemail you need to register with Google Voice, unless Vodaphone has its own app for it.

No Google voice in the UK.
There an app called Visual Voicemail Plus that provides this service (for, I believe, a small fee).
the missing apps are due ICS 4.0 not being compatible with those old apps
you have to wait for those old apps to be ICS 4.0 compatible for them to show up again on Market
I had the volume issue where it kept going up and down by itself a few times today.
but since about 4pm it hasn't happened again...
Could it be that the volume issue has something to do with some preset profiles that should not be there?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
i've got the volume problem too. Picked up my phone today and its done it about 5 times in the past hour or so while i've been playing with the phone. usually coincides with me sending/ receiving a text message. Really annoying problem as i dont know i have received a text most of the time.
Mhhh. thats a handful of users now with the SAV-Ghost (had to give it a name - self-adjusting volume) .
Biggest worry I have seen yet (apart from flash which will be sorted out sooner or later)....
When the volume started changing on it's own, did the temperature suddenly drop and lights started flickering?

Just got the Samsung Nexus ICS from Verizon the other day. Phone is still stock. Installed Pandora.
The issue: Playing Pandora for about 30 min or even 10 min the phone shuts off immediately and then turns back on. Does not even go back to playing music on Pandora. Right back to the first screen, password screen. Now I have played google music and this has not happened. I even un installed Pandora to troubleshoot which music engine is bugging. No issues with the phone after I un installed Pandora. I waited a full day then re installed Pandora and the issue has not gone away.
Talked to another forum member who has the same set up and he has had no issues with running Pandora.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Pandora for me bugs out when trying to use it on ICS. It "sorta" works. I chock it up to not being ICS compatible.

No troubles running pandora here. AOKP with apex kernel. Maybe try fix permissions.
Mine works fine, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I am running stock 4.0.2, rooted. Pandora is running fine on my Galaxy Nexus
I am running the GSM version. It streams fine over wifi and over the Cell network.
So, it doesn't look like the problem is ICS. It may be something specific with Verizon.
Are you playing over wifi, verizon CDMA, or LTE?
This may or may not be your issue. I've had a few apps crash on me. Turns out they didn't like the force 2d hardware rendering setting. Some apps don't crash but have other issues. Like tap-a-talk won't always show images with it turned on. If you have that on , you can try turning it off.

Pandora works fine for me with the screen on if I turn the screen off it cuts out from time to time. Sucks as I use it while working out and its driving me nuts. Any chance ICS is cutting CPU availability with the screen off and it impacts pandora?

I've had Pandora, Google Music, and Rhapsody all crash my phone a number of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379600 . Not sure what the issue is.
I have no issues with streaming Pandora on my stock 4.0.2 Verizon GNex all day (8-10 hrs). Like someone else said, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Could it be a Bluetooth problem?
I'm having the same issue with Pandora (and Stitcher). I use them on the drive to work with Ford Sync, and after a while the phone will restart. I think it may be a bluetooth problem because upon reboot, the bluetooth connection gets stuck and requires another boot once I get to my location.
The bluetooth incompatibility is a known issue and hopefully gets resolved soon
I'm running ARHD 6.04 (4.03 ICS) on Sensation.
It can be a hard hand off from LTE to CDMA 1X/EV-DO, even with eHRPD. The data connection actually stops before being picked up by the other network. If connection is lost, Pandora will pause itself. If it's in the background, it may be killed.
Just posted up my experience in this thread in the Q/A section:

Anyway, Fix Permissions seemingly solved the problem for now... will update later.
So... One Pandora crash on 3G so far since Fix Permissions. Re-did the process and so far it has been holding again, for slacker and iheart too.
Pandora has done that on every phone I've had. That is why I don't use it anymore.

People have been seeing the GN do random reboots for awhile now, even when not using Pandora.
I've had it happen when the phone was just sitting there on the desk idle. I've had it happen during navigation with Google Maps. But it most frequently happens on Pandora.
There is a theory that it's a heat related issue. Basically that the phone is rebooting to protect itself.
There is some logic to that, as it seem to happen most frequently when I've got it plugged in charging and I'm streaming something to my phone (Pandora, Google Maps, etc).
It's apparently an issue Google is aware of, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.

I wish this were a more general reboot. The only other crash is get is with occasional flash videos, when trying to change the quality (youtube).
Otherwise, I have had NO OTHER RANDOM REBOOTS aside from Pandora/Slacker/iHeartRadio. Happening very frequently again. Is it just straight incompatibility? These apps are unusable and this is a heavy portion of what I use my phone for.
If it were heat, wouldn't all the games that leave my phone at hand-warmer status crash it? This does not happen for me. I explained very clearly when this issue was arising.
So I use google music player instead of the native s3 music player from samsung because I have all my music uploaded to the google cloud. I just got the s3 a month ago and continually have this issue. I'm listening to music then all of a sudden it stops, it looks like its still playing but can't hear anything and then when I try and back out of it its frozen.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
thx in advance

I think its a problem with touchwiz, so far have not had any issues with toasted .marshmallows. a solution I found is to go to application manager and clear data under Google play. Its not efficient and you have to wait a few minutes for it to sync again.

Are you rooted? I had that same issue on jellybean stock w/ root. Better Battery Stats showed I kept getting a LPAplayer wakelock and when I changed the build.prop following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25475691&postcount=4732) it seemed to help. Dunno what the cause is or why that would fix it, but try it out if you have root.
thank you for all the responses.
So I am not rooted, just on the out of the box sg3 system.
I will try some of the suggestions..disappointed that there is the issue. And it does the same thing whether streaming from the cloud or the songs I have pined for offline listening which sits on the cache. :crying:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm on stock JB, not rooted. It'll play a song or two then just freeze. I have to back completely out and try again and get the same results. Frustrating, because I don't store any music at all on my device.

Shouldn't be a touchwiz issue, as I have the same problem even though I'm running Nova Prime. I just replaced the google player widget with the samsung one and have been happy ever since. I don't really miss the cloud sync cause my library rarely changes much.
I am having the same issue. I thought it might be the romantic I was running, but now it has happened on two different roms. I wonder if it is a Jellybean issue?

I'm still having this issue. I don't have music pinned on my device, it's all in the cloud. Never, ever had this issue on my Vibrant. I actually went to Google's help today and the rep who called said they know it's happening with this phone. He advised me to uninstall the updates and then reinstall from the market. I did that, and it actually feels worse. Now it's "frozen" on one song and won't let me select another. The only buttons I have available are back, pause and forward, but it isn't playing anything.
Interestingly, I just uninstalled updates again, taking my Play Music app back to v4.3.606.400990 and it seems to be working fine. I've even had music interrupted a few times by phone calls and it picks up again and plays with no help from me.
Used to happen to me as well on stock, but since rooted and now running 4.2.1 problem has disappeared
same problem with vzw gs3
I have this same problem with my phone. The following steps detail what reproduces the issue for me.
Play Music starts playing, gets through about two songs, then stops.
When waking the phone Play Music is frozen. The pause, previous and next track buttons, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.
Hold down home button and use the built in task manager to end Play Music, accepting the warning.
Restart Play Music and continue playing. It will play normally after that.
However, from then on the LPAPlayer will keep the phone from sleeping.
If I leave it alone, it will show wakelocks into the 10-15 hour range.
A reboot of the phone will fix the wakelock, until I use Play Music again.
I am on stock rooted JB for VZW (VRBLK3). I don't think it's ROM or even phone specific though.Iit seems to affect a wide spectrum of ROMs and a few different phones on different carriers.
I am currently trying out the recommendation on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34586729&postcount=10
I am about six songs in now, will report back if it fails.

My Lt28h automatically stops music or video when I use Walkman or watch video, I tried TTpod and Realplayer but nothing changes, I have been using for 2 months, Ics 4.0.4, 6.1.E.3.7, not yet Root or Unlock boot loader.
thanks for reading!
I'm currently running XZXperience, but I have this problem anytime I use a version of Walkman that isn't the one that comes with the Stock ROM. If I'm on the stock ROM and flash nothing else but the Walkman app, I get the occasional cuts like you describe. Terribly irritating.
One of the times it crashed, I noticed it briefly flash something about being unable to read the next track, so lately I've been trying to troubleshoot from the perspective of a possible interface issue with the ext_card. I've wiped, formatted and restored data to my card, but that didn't help. I've tried various Cache size and method settings using 'Android Tuner', but nothing's worked.
I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the playlist, either, as I've tried a playlist of thousands and a playlist of six and have had sporadic drops with about the same frequency.
Any other thoughts or suggestions? Is there a way to go back to the 'older' version of Walkman, while keeping everything else?
(I also posted this issue in the XZXperience thread, but it's been almost two weeks and six pages with no reply.)

After such a refresh, it gets a little farther along into a playlist, but still plops out after not too long, and will sometime crash right after selecting a playlist - not even playing a single note.
Like hulu8x, I've noticed the same issue on other media players too, like Amazon MP3, but Amazon MP3 works fine with Cloud Play, and TuneIn Radio and Music Unlimited work just fine.

Last night I did a wipe of the System and Cache partitions, Cleared the Dalvik and reinstalled the ROM. The first thing I tapped after it came back up was the walkman, and it instantly crashed twice before I was able to get far enough to play a song... Which crashed after a few seconds as well.
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.

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'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
