Google Music Beta Not Working on Thunderbolt - Thunderbolt Themes and Apps

So I got my Google Music Beta on Monday (5/23) and was ecstatic. I've started uploading my music (currently at 2000 songs and going) and can access them online via music.google.com. The issue I'm encountering is on the Thunderbolt. All of Google's documentation says it should be a simple matter of hitting settings under the music application and telling it which account to use. I don't even have a settings option on my music player. I have the most recent one and have reinstalled from the market.
I've found some threads suggesting using the Xoom Music Player which will sync the phone music to the cloud, but that does not really solve my problem. Has anyone else gotten a similar issue, or better yet, a resolution. Also I'm currently running DasBAMF 1.6.3 Android 2.2 using the standard DasBAMF kernel.
Thanks

You need the new Music apk
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music

I have the new Music app, I'm not retarded

I didn't try it when I was running remix 1.6.3, but I updated to das bamf 2.0-5 and it works great for me.

Like he said, you need the new apk. Unistall the version you have, go to the market and download it again. Press the menu button, go to settings, select your email account to link it with Google Music, and then come back here and apologize.

k, well, guess what, I uninstalled the music app, reinstalled it (let it be known that it was the same version, again no music settings) I'm going to the route of upgrading to 2.0.5

That's odd because the same thing happens to me when I flash a new rom. The auto restore feature installs Google Music but I always have to uninstall and reinstall from the market to get the settings menu. My apologies, maybe you have to be on Gingerbread but that doesn't sound right.

It works fine on Froyo.

Guys this is ridiculous, I upgraded to the dasBAMF 2.0.5 in an effort to correct this, I'm still not getting a settings option. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, still nothing. Any ideas?

Nvm, it finally showed up on dasBAMF 2.0.5 after uninstall and reinstall twice, I can see why its still in BETA

Thunderbolt
I am having the same issue and have uninstalled and reinstalled four times. Did you do anything besides uninstalling and reinstalling?

Make sure you guys have music syncing. Go to accounts and sync/gmail and make sure music is selected

Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought the new beta synced music from my phone to the web based music.google.com and vice versa? I uploaded music from my PC to the web based and it shows up, but doesn't show up on my phone. Consequently the music on my phone doesn't show up on the web based either.

You have to sign in through the music app first and then it syncs the listings with your phone. You have the option to make songs, albums, etc.. available offline if you choose too.

I've signed in on my phone and it recognizes my google account. I just thought music I had on my PC would be accessible on my phone.

When you setup the Music app on your system, did you specify what folders you wanted to be added to your library? I have it syncing with my iTunes library but you can also specify a specific folder if that's where you keep your music. After it uploads it should be available on any of your Android devices and computer browsers.

I have it set to pull my music from Windows Media on the web based. It still hasn't shown up on my phone, though. If I make the music available offline on my phone will it then show up in the web based?

To fix mine I had to also upgrade to Android 2.3.4 via dasBAMF 2.0.5, and clear data for the music app, uninstall, reinstall, rinse repeat.

Due to the latest warning put out by JCase, I'm back to dasBAMF 1.6.3, and I can't get the damn Android Music App to work. Is anyone at all running android 2.2 (rooted) and successfully using the cloud music feature of the Music Beta

Any chance being able to play a song my just selecting it from 'MyDownload' without adding to playlist?
Great, i'm testing it.
you're talking about limitations in trial, but what are they?
Trial version contains advertisements, and limits are applied after successfully sending three music files to PC. That means you can no longer sync files to pc after you sync three files to pc successfully.

Doesn't work for on ics though (presumably due to lack of Flash support - has this been reinstated in JB?) - media support installation says "file corrupted". But I seem to have achieved the same functionality with the TVCatchUp app (via Play) for live streaming (which seems to work fine).

well all i can say its a great phone for the price only apps not working is skygo but then again its not just this phone its not working on loads of phones ..only other down fall is you cant put apps on the sd card but you can if you root it but 8 gig is a lot of space for apps so no big deal but like need for speed is like 1.84 gig so you can soon take up the space but how many games do you need to play at time i do think 8 gig is ok but i do think it was a mistake not to allow transfer to sd card ..i have a 32 gig card so plenty of room for films pics music and i have 100 games on stand by on it for when i need to install ...what i will say is this phone is fast no lag internet is way fast did a test with a friend with iphone 5 and also luma 800 and yes the razr i 1 every time lumia 800 was not far behind and yes iphone 5 was last every time on the same net work the iphone was at least 3 to 4 sec behind loading pages with the lumia about 1 sec if that ..camera not great in low light but great outside has played all games so far again with no lag battery life great i can go a hole day with using it a lot ..thats with great setting like it turns of wifi when you leave home and when i get back it knows im home and turns on wifi so save on battery life :laugh:

this worked a treat - installed straight away and worked!!!!

Looks like iplayer has finally been updated as its now working on my stock Razri.

[HOW-TO] Avoid battery draining by "Media Server"

Hi everybody, i had a few problem with the "Media Server" glitch that drained out of my new Nexus 4 a good 40% of juice after a full recharge.
Now after a good work-around e surfing on the internet i want to share with you what can cause this annoying thing.
If you see something like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then this is not normal.
1: What drained so much battery from my phone was Rayman Jungle Run (a game) in fact even if I stopped play at the application was cached in memory and was using some sort of service. SOLUTION: Eliminate the app in the cache section in Setting > Application > In use OR swipe the app in the recent apps menu.
2: Many users say that media server can enter in a loop when trying to collect info from a corrupt file such as mp3, images, videos.
SOLUTION: Try to search for damaged files in your library and delete them.
3: The third cause can be the Google Play Music trying to sinchronyze all the music you have stored on the cloud. SOLUTION: Turn off synchro or wait until it's finished.
4: The last one is the sound when clicking the keyboard. Even if you are in silence mode the phone will load the sound from the library. SOLUTION: Turn off sound clicking in Settings > Audio AND in the option of the keyboard you are using.
Sorry if my english is not perfect, and hit thanks if I have helped you. Thank you
up
thank you
I have been looking for a solution every where with no luck until I tried the system sounds and keyboard clicks. It might be to early to tell but I think the problem is solved. I miss the sounds though

Surely you can just disable Media Server?
I'm running stock ROM with fauxs latest beta and for the first time my media server is at 3% whilst using player pro, I don't stream any music its all on the sdcard Normally its running at silly % while I'm playing music. On the other hand noozy doesn't use the media server so if you guys like that player :thumbup:

Hello,
I'm having this problem media scanner drains the battery so fast rendering the phone unusable im down to 50% in 3 hours with only 1 hour screen time and didnt use google music player at all this is outrageous if i have to keep charging the device 2-3 times a day the battery will degrade much faster no?
why is google not updating as far as i know the problem persists since before the release of the device!

Lyrics not showing up in music player

Lyrics not showing up in music player. When i tried the same mp3 in ipod touch, I can see the lyrics. anybody facing the same issue?:crying:
I tell you you're not the only one... I'm not sure about this but seems like HTC One is slow on fetching lyrics depending on the country your in.
same, however sometimes when I do get the lyrics, it ends up being the wrong one.
Consider yourself lucky then... Had 170+ mp3 here on my phone for over a month now have yet to see any lyrics showing up eversince
This has nothing to do with the HTC One. It has to do with the very limited GraceNote Media database. I have only found a few albums that have lyrics. And sometimes only two or three songs on the album have them.

A few others that probably no one knows: some songs by Fog '10th Ave Freakout' album, I think 5 out of 13 songs, and the last 2 songs on the 'For Hero: For Fool' album by Subtle.
Ok, I downloaded the album, played the same song you show (Yet Again), and nothing happens.
It looks like It depends on the country you are. (I'm from Santiago, Chile).
Going to try using some kind of VPN, and try again.

Same with me. Download Grizzly Bear - 'Sheilds' and I have no lyrics. I am from Czech Republic
Could you by chance share the exact same mp3 you had lyrics on? I'm not sure but maybe it's on the meta tags or whatever but having the actual file should solve some of the mysteries of this lyrics thingy.

Try to connect your phone through a VPN to USA or Europe, once you can see Lyrics for the first time, Disconnect from the VPN and enjoy forever .

Nexus 6 background video playback

Buddy of mine has stock uprooted Nexus 6 and all his videos (including YouTube) keep playing with screen off. How is this even possible ? He doesn't even have music key with YouTube and no background playback settings, other vids on websites etc also play with screen off for him
Does he have a Google Music subscription? I do and that comes with it. Pretty handy at times.
yea it is, love that feature! but yea, you havs to subscribe to google play music, that feature is a bonus part of it
Like I said, he doesn't have any subscriptions and she doesn't even have those additional settings in YouTube app. ALL videos in ALL apps play with screen off for him

All Nexus 6's came with that. I agree with your assessment of the situation.

He doesn't have any account, and like I said, he doesn't have any settings in YouTube associated with any account or background playback (I do, he doesn't) and its not just YouTube, its all videos. When I shut my screen off my videos stop, his continue playing
Could be an xposed module. Namely "YouTube Background Playback". But it's not currently working, in need of an update.

He is not rooted.
At first I thought it some Youtube glitch, but when we tested other apps they all work with screen off

and i bet he can listen to any band or any song using google play music, thats what happens when you either use a free subscription or a paid subscription for google play music.

no he cant because he doesnt have free or paid subscribtion
There's no setting in youtube. It's not designed to play in the background. The fact it does is probably due to some app or something.
A reset will fix it but all data will be lost. Otherwise, remove apps 1 at a time until you find the culprit.

theres not a single issue posted anywhere about youtube playing in ths background. as far as i know, having the google play service, either free or paid, is the only way to get it to play in the background.
edit.. i did find a way around this, but it appears to be the only way.. https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-play-youtube-videos-in-the-background

I'm sorry, if this sounds rude, but I don't think you've been reading the thread properly and you keep repeating the same irrelevant thing.
The OP is not asking HOW to get all videos to keep playing in the background as a request.. The OP is asking for help BECAUSE all videos ARE playing in the background, when they shouldn't be.
Well I am not really asking for help. Its my buddies phone and he is totally fine with this glitch. I just wanted to know how it's all possible. I do have Music Key and with that subscription Play Music settings look a bit different and YouTube App settings as well have extra options, his phone doesn't have any of that.....and I repeat, its not even rooted, its been working like this for him since he purchased it new

It's a glitch.
The only way to get YouTube to do that is xposed.
I guess I owe @simms22 an apology. Seems it's me not reading properly.
It is a glitch, but its just very weird
hey, does your buddy get a notification in the status bar when he has a video playing in the background?

No, he can only do screen off with whatever app in foreground, background playback doesn't work
Funny my YouTube background playback recently stopped working and I do have the subscription.
