[Q] Problem with Google Music Play - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
First post so hope I'm doing this right.
I'm running ICS Infinitum Rom with Semaphore Kernel 1.1.1 on my GT i9000 and i've been trying to use the latest version of Google Play Music.
It can play files from my internal SD fine, but i'm having trouble getting it to play files from the emmc/audio folder. It locates all the music there but i get an error reading "Couldn't play the track you requested".
I've tried force closing and clearing data, this does not work. So i re-flashed rom and kernel. This worked. Until i flashed the Beats audio by dre.zip.
Same thing happens. So after reflashing Rom again it works for maybe two days, then i get the same error as before.
So i know somehow this works. But not sure why it changed all of a sudden?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with format of SD?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

That sounds to me as though you have a corrupt file or a bad external sd in which case try to format it.. or you might need to clear the cache in CWM unless of course you already have done so then im out of options. seems strange that it works for some time though.
And reflashing seems a bit excessive to keep doing, you could try a different rom and see...

Yeh I tried to format but that didn't work. And a cache clear from recovery but no luck. Which rom would you recommend to try?

That I can't really advise you on as I'm using the same ROM as you, just an older version. But try any really, just read up on some bugs they might be having. I'm going to look for a new one now to try anyway so..

I just reflashed the same from/kernel again. Then before using titanium backup to restore apps I tried Google music. It worked. So then I restored all other apps/data then rebooted. After reboot music didn't work. So it must be something from my backup affecting this program. Is trial and error the only way to figure this out?

Okay, so I've changed Rom. Gone back to aokp build 36. Google music works fine now. Although I've noticed that ES Explorer is reading my sd card and emmc as though they've swapped?

Download the 2 attachments.
Flash the fix 1 in recovery and reboot into the Rom. Come back to recovery and flash fix 2. The emmc and the sd won't be swapped now.

Update: So after still having various problems with Google music, I tried Apollo which worked well (although I had a horrid battery drain when using) now I'm on SlimIcs using the stock music app. It hasn't missed a beat and reads my SD card well.

[Q] Having an issue with Apps not installing to phone

I'm having an issue installing apps to my nexus one. I can download them from the market but when they try to install it just says Installing... and stays there.
This started happening after I installed cyanogen 6.1 so I wiped and installed rodriguezstyles mod to see if cyanogen was the issue but now rodriguezstyles mod is also causing this.
Makes me come to the conclusion that the mod isn't the issue. Could anyone assist me with this please?

I'm having the very same issue. I reverted back to stock 2.2 but everything still hangs on install.
Has reverting to stock solved the problem for you? Have you found any other solutions? Or an Idea on what it could be.
I've seen a number of solutions, so I'll give you the ones that seem to work best:
1 - Try signing into Google Talk
or
2 - Try unmounting SD card, before installing (if updating, make sure app is installed on phone).
or
3 - Try deleting .android_secure folder from SD card, and rebooting...

I tried flashing back to stock image but that didn't work for me. After that I tried what I should have done the first time which was restore an old backup from cm6.0. That did the trick for me, no problems since.

Unable to download from Google App Market

Hi guys,
I have recently downloading the new Cyanogenmod for the Milestone, and although its a pretty good mod, I haven't been able to download things from google market. I have installed GAPPS when it was required, and I can navigate the market fine, it even picks up my bought purchases. However, when I click on download,it says that it is downloading but the bar doesn't move. I;ve reflashed and rebooted numerous times but that doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same thing and if so, how could I fix it?
I have plenty of space on my phone and my SD card too so I can't see where the problem lies.
update, I have looked around a little, and it may be a problem that I cannot connect to googletalk server. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Also, switching from wireless to 3g to 2g doesn't seem to help either.
Having the same problem with my X10! Will show updates for my existing apps but when I click on them to update it just states that they are downloading and they never update! I have power cycles the phone, stopped the update, installed the Google market updates and tried again, still the same result!
I have a rooted X 10 with 2.1.
Anybody else having the same problem?
totally weird, but everything seems to be in working order now. I didn't do anything at all either.
I had to connect to flashtool and reload the os to get it working again!
Tried finding just the market .she file but wasn't sure which one was the one that was messed up! Didn't want to make it worse so just flashed the whole OS

i faced the same problem too, i've been coping with this for about 2 months on CM6 and now it's kinda getting in my nerves. I can't download from the Market and it's annoying when i want to download some apps in a big hurry. I see that i'm not the only one facing this problem, but may i ask for help here? what can i do to fix this problem? you have my thanks
Did you try flashing the OS again or reloading the CM6 ROM? Mine has been working fine since I flashed my OS again.

Wipe data, then flash the ROM. Google Apps you need to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache AFTER flashing the ROM.

I used to have this problem after extendend periods without a wifi connection... it seemed like my purchases would only download on wifi, whereas free apps would d/l on cellular networks
I do have Market problems from time to time, being unable to download. I've try pretty much everything but nothing helped, except: waiting! If apps fail to download constantly, they'll do just fine the next day ...
It seems that the Market has internal problems that cause this. Also I have this behaviour once in a while: viewing "my apps" in the Market will sometimes (!) only show me the Google Apps (Maps, YouTube, etc.) and all the ones that I purchased but *no* free apps at all.
Same again: waiting some time will restore the original (and correct) list.

I think that might just be the limitations of the Gapps we flash. I get those same issues, but a simple reboot fixes everything, nothing to worry about!

[Q] "Unfortunately, app has stopped..."

Hi, i have a problem with many apps, and really i don't know what else to do, this start out of nowhere, a few days ago the message "unfortunately, (app) has stopped.." it's making me crazy.
i've try to flash another rom, kernel, restore backups, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and nothing.
i've try cyanogenmod 9, gummy, slimICS, dark night, and icy glitch kernel, devil kernel, and many other.
for example,the titanium backup, shows me the message every 30 minutes, the CK: zombies, doesn't start anymore, youtube too, minecraft pocket edition, play store, and many apps.
please i need some help, before i pull my captivate away
THANKS!
Try opening Terminal Emulator, and type "df". Next to /datadata, see how much free space there is. If it is less than 15-20MB, you're going to want to move some apps to the sd card, or apply a datafix script.

i did it and show me 40 mb free space, 131 used, 172 total, blksize 4096.
Hmm... that should be enough free space, but you could still try the datafix script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665742

You didn't need to wipe your cards... Basically the problem is your Tibu backups were probably done with improper settings, and the data cannot be restored. Restoring just the app should still work though. You are going to have to start over again.
This is only correct if the apps won't even open

do you have the low data notification? If you do, keep moving apps to sd until it goes away; then, reboot. I've had this problem a few times when i first flashed to ICS.

Same issue, with Gallery/Camera
ok, so i'm on Tsunami 2.0 running devil kernel, this issue started while i was on AOCP, whenever i open the camera app, it immediatly says Unfortunately, Gallery Has Stopped. so i tried reflashing the gapps, same issue, tried flashing the 4.2 gapps, same issue, so i wiped everything and switched to the AOKP Tsunami ROM that im on now, (gapps built in) and SAME FREAKIN ISSUE....any ideas guys? (im pretty experienced with android and flashing roms, i've got a buddy who is rediculously experienced with it, and neither of us can figure this out)
EDIT : Just tried the picasa synk option in Tsunami OTA menu, same issue. i cant post this on the thread for my ROM, cuz i haven posted enough.....HELP
What about go to the Settings/ Applications/ All/ Gallery...select Clear cache and then Force stop. Then back out to home screen and open camera ?? See if that fixes the problem.

that was one of the first things i tried, and have done it several times since, still no luck....then i was gonna try and download a different camera app, and im getting server error on the play store....WTF. gonna try and reflash my gapps now, see if it improves anything.
EDIT: play store is working, downloaded Camera MX, it loads, but only shows black when trying to take a photo....i know that the camera physically works, i've been able to snap pictures and videos in the past.....

Need help on recent rooted+CM9 rom

Hi. I'm having a really big problem and a hard time trying to get my phone back to how it was. I was able to do a backup with CWM rom manager before i flashed to CM9. The reason why i want to go back to the ROM that came with my phone is because i'm not able to mount my SD card. I tried it in the recovery reboot menu. I mounted everything, then when it reboots, i go into settings and try to mount both the external SD and the internal SD card, The external one mounts, but i still can't see anything from it. And the internal never mounts.
So i did use the back up utility, and now when i go to restore, It says that the MD5 checksum aren't matching up or something. I'm also scared because it says that the battery is not charging. I've turned the phone off and am letting it charge now to see if it'll charge. But it was down to 11%, And i'm starting to get scared cause i might be without a phone. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
How can i wipe CM9 and go back to the ROM that came with my samsung 4g exhibit II when i got it? this is what it was before;
exhibit ii 4g
sgh-t679
android 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (I didn't upgrade this)
build #: gingerbread uvle1
P.S. After i rooted it and flashed it into the root_kit. I then flashed it into "cm-9-20121125-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo". So this is the rom that's giving me the problem. I really hope someone understands what's going on and can help me. I just want to go back to how it was before. And 1 more thing. I can only browse the sd card through wondershare mobilego for android. All my files are still there, But i can't see them on the phone, Just through USB connection.
Thank you so much
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Go into cwm wipe system 3 times dalvic cache and so on, then restore, or you can just do a clean install of the ROM you wish.

Oh wait, Something good happened. I read somewhere else that i might have to format the internal sd card. I just did that and now i'm able to see my external sd card. all my music and pics are here. Hmmm, weird... now i'm going to try and backup the texts and logs that i saved from mobilego. but i still might want to go back to the factory rom because the screen was bigger.
I just can't flash the gapps .zip file. It says that it can't open and then it just says (bad). So i can't connect my google account to my droid as it stands.

I upgraded to CM10. Now the gps doesn't work. also the usb connection doesn't work so i can't load the cm9 i don't think. If i wipe the ROM, will that load it back to the factory one? or will it make my phone useless?
Update: Ok, I'm able to connect via wifi with Mobilego. Should i upload root-stock.zip and flash that so it can go back to gingerbread (or whatever the ROM is called that is the basic one that was on before i changed?)
Update 2: I'm just having a problem with GPS. in google maps (a program i do use a lot), Is not able to get my current location. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem from CM10

Root-stock.zip will not get you back to gingerbread. You should read the t679 XDA wiki. Five or six times even.

Ok look, a general rule of thumb whenever you are installing a new rom, do a full Rom wipe = Factory Reset. Then flash your new rom. Then proceed to install the necessary Gapps. Then clear cache and dalvik cache. Then fix permissions. Then your set. The only time you can install a rom over another rom is if its an update, from the exact same rom and same os.
Soooo happy with CM10

I This I clear the cache, dalvik cache (and maybe even data). I wiped everything in that menu except ROM and system. It was my first time working with this. I did it in less then a week of lightly reading about it. I'll make sure to remember that man.
Thanks

P.S. I LOVE CM10. This ROM is just phenomenal. I couldn't believe my eyes when i went from Android 2.3.6 to Android 4.1.2. This site has helped me a lot. Please are very friendly and i appreciate that a lot.
Thanks once again, this site is very helpful.

Mistake updating cyanogenmod...

Hello guys,
I had my Tab P1 running CM 10.1 nighties, and this morning I mistakenly update directly to cm 11 nighties
It boots, but I continuously receive errors on phone app and I can only reboot.
What can I do ? Could you help me with a step by step guide ? What I need to install first from the recovery mode ? I tried to revert to my last nightie but I receive an error....
Thanks!

Give more information about the error, please.
I had my p1000 running last cyanogenmod 10.1 nightie, I downloaded the first cyanogenmod 11, and then I installed it.
First boot: com.android.phone continously crashing.
Downloaded Google apps, installed from sd, rebooted, everything seems to work fine until I tried to use play store (crashed).
Full wipe, installed again last nightie, Google apps and now at startup setting application crashes repeatedly...
What should I do?
Thank you for your answer!!

I think the only thing will help you is restock.
I have another error, but my situation is very similar to yours.
Reflashing of any CM11 or CM10.2 ROM did not help me.
Restoring of 3 working backups (1 KitKat and 2 JB) did not help me, too.
I have some thoughts about our errors.
Similar errors occur on the different CM ROM's, so I came to the conclusion that something is wrong in the p1-common source files.
Same problems here.
CM11 install goes fine, after installing gapps I have a lot of problems, apps close, freeze...
I switched back to cm10, no other choice at this time.
Oh, for the ones that having problems getting the P1000 back to life again.
I re-stocked the P1000 to 2.3.6 with repartition (included the .pit file).
After that I flashed the Overcome kernel (wich contains CWM and root).
I cleared all caches, Dalvik, etc.
After that I flashed CM10 and Gapps.
Tab is working fine now... Android 4.2.2. though.
I have the same issues as well. Hopefully CM11 will get updated to resolve the issue.
it seems I solved the problem, apparently.
From recovery, I did factory reset, a full wipe, cache. Then I flashed last nightie, Google apps (without rebooting) and then everything worked.
I still have some crashes with a few app, but nothing too boring
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
Great
Be carefull when installing gapps
There is limited space in /system so only use the core packages
The rest of the google apps can be installed in user space from the store so don't be concerned on missing out
