[Q] [Google I/O] Music Beta not working on MT3G - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

The new Music Beta by Google app was leaked a few weeks ago, but it was a little buggy for me, so I was going to wait until the official release. well, it's out now, but it's not visible on my phone's market. It's visible on the web market, but my device is not listed as compatible. Requirements list froyo and up as a requirement, but nothing really else. Do you think that they're phasing out older devices again or could this just be a hiccup on the first day release?
Running
MyTouch 3G 1.2
w/ COS-DS 05062011 (2.3.4)

you could try installing it manually...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655

It still doesn't work in landscape mode for me, but thank you for the link. It will play music and I guess I'll find out later if it will sync music. After further research, I don't think that the Magic/MyTouch line is supported by this app because of OpenGL 2.0 being needed. I may be off though.

I installed the standalone apk and it installed and works just fine for me on my HeroC. Considering that the Hero and the MT3G are almost the same phones they should work fine.

Well, they're not exactly the same and there must be a reason it doesn't show up on the market. I get a FC every time I go landscape. I know it's not important, but I just want the album coverflow to work.
I can now confirm that music sync works just fine, but I want to know why it's not working with this model.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

[Q] Uses for a disconnected Hero?

I just upgraded to the Epic 4G
Running SyndicatedROM Frozen 1.1 and it does everything
Now, what to do with my old phone...
Needless to say, my old phone is the HTC Hero CDMA, and it is no longer connected. Really sad since it's a perfectly good phone. I've been having trouble re-gifting to my friends because they are too cheap for Sprint, and they don't like the concept of texting on a (small) touch-screen phone.
I have been using it as my primary music player to off-load the battery drain on my Epic. However, it bugs me to use it *just* as a music player. With that said, what are some other uses for a disconnected Hero?
BTW - I'm running CyanogenMod7 rc4. And before you mention it, I know the stable release is out. I'll get around to it... eventually.
I use mine as a remote for my XMBC media player ( converted acer revo ) I can view all my media and tv shows etc on the hero's screen.. its nice..

I have an old deactivated one that I use for mostly a music player / newsreader / game player on the road. It also occasionally functions as a remote for my PC/TV and a testbed for ROMs that I don't want to flash on my new Hero. (The old one got dropped in the snow and the speaker no longer works; though the headphone jack works fine... hence the replacement).
I have thought about getting a VoIP client set up on it (not sure if Google Voice would work with a deactivated phone or not) to use as a "home phone".
It does seem like a shame, though, huh? All that wasted glory.

I just use mine for music. I found that the Hero doesn't work well as a gaming device since it lacks a decent GPU, and reading is fairly difficult, especially now that I'm use to to the Epic. In speaking of test beds, do you have any ROM recommendations for me? I'm looking for something lightweight; just for music, and a back-up phone.

That would be a great idea! I'll look into it. The Hero was great while it lasted. The perfect alternative to the iPhone that wasn't buggy as hell *cough,cough**Moment!**cough*

The gingerbread ROM builds started out as awesome and have only gotten better. I run aosp's 3/26 build with the s0be 2.6.35 #5 kernel on both of my Hero's and it is a million times snappier and stable than stock ever was. The 3/26 build is very small and let's you choose which Google apps to install, so it can be kept pretty lean.
Otherwise I'll just flash a new ROM on the old one first to test it out before putting it on my new one.

Yeah yeah yeah... I should upgrade. I really should.
Another suggestion for music; if you're short on sd card space and will have WiFi access with your Hero, check out Subsonic music streamer. It lets you stream your music through the web and they have an Android app.

That's a sweet idea and thanks for the app too. Hopefully the EVO 3d doesn't use too much of my SD card memory but ill keep my hero for experimental purposes. Because I plan on learning how to fully theme Roms this summer , so the Hero will be a good experimenting phone.

[Q] New Music App

Has anyone tried installing the new music app? Its telling me my device isn't compatible. Stock the hero isn't (requires 2.2+) but I'm running cm7 (2.3), and I'm in the US. What else could it be?
worked fine for me. just installed it using the link you posted
running cm7 as well
I'm having trouble installing it as well.
I figured it out. It requires OpenGL 2.0+. You can do the build.prop trick to set your opengl version to 131072 and it will install after a reboot.
Oh, the build.prop trick. That's a love/hate relationship right there. Doesn't seem to work for me despite some users having success over at the CM forum.
Using CM7.03
Edit: After 3 hours of this post, it randomly showed up as downloadable on my Market. I guess the build.prop edit worked. Thanks for the tip, maxpower.
Installed it on CM7. There is no settings option I can see to allow streaming.
works...
It installed and works fine on my Hero (CM7.0.3). Not sure that I'm a fan yet, but it works. It would probably be better if i had a beta invite for Google Music.
Yea, the Amazon mp3 app can store music I buy in the cloud. I tried it out, and what I found was I never listened to that music and I've since just downloaded it to my phone and/or computer. This will have an appeal but I own tens of thousands of songs. I'm not gonna upload them or buy them again just so they're in the cloud.
~maybe I set it too high...

Widgets that work with the new google music app

Pure Music does not work, unfortunately. The developer claimed that it was fine on his 3g xoom but I never got it working correctly with my wifi xoom. Now that the new beta app is out with 3.1, it doesnt work at all on my xoom or evo.
Is there a better widget that is compatible with the new google music app? I dont want to use any other players because no other app's layout can even come close to the stock one.

[Q] Nexus One OpenGL 2.0

I am looking to get open gl 2.0 on my nexus one. it shows that im running 1.1 and i would like to use the new music beta. im running cyanogenmod nightlys.
any help would be wonderful im a beginner at this so please dumb it down for me.
Music Beta works fine on cyanogen without modification.
you are not able to sync with the music beta server. seeing as i got an invitation to full use music beta. even on their site it says the phone needs OpenGL 2.0.
is there any way to get this on the N1?
See if this works for you, looks like it should probably...
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=search_result
Developer says it needs S-OFF on your HTC device.
Here it is running cleanly on the officially unsupported Nexus One:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvKGGYfM-Dg&feature=related
this works. makes music beta think you have a 2.0 device and allows you to sync your music with the cloud. now i can fully utilize Music Beta..
Best regards and many thanks!
