After updating to the newest stock firmware (xxx.10), and after updating to the new Google Play Music (Post-Google I/O), Google Play Music will only open for a few seconds before crashing and presenting me with the message I posted in the title. This message appears several more times after crashing.
Here's what I've done so far in an attempt to fix it (not necessarily in this order):
Delete Cache.
Delete Defaults.
Force Stop.
Uninstall and pre-installed app.
Restart (multiple times).
Power off and on (multiple times).
This phone has always been stock, and I'm not using any skins. I've downloaded very few apps, which have all been run of the mill. I did download Google Wallet, but I would hope that's not the conflict. It worked perfectly before the firmware update, and only the updated Play Music crashes.
Is anyone having a similar issue? Up til now I've only used HTC 's player, but I want to try the free month of music streaming. Any advice is appreciated, and thanks in advance!
It's working fine for me on the HTC update and google music update. I do get an occasional error you reported but it's rare. I might be completely taking a shot in the dark but try activating your trial on the web browser first. If that doesn't help, try removing and adding your Google account again to your phone. I vaguely remember having a problem activating the trial on my phone. But I didn't put much effort into it.

I have this issue when I am in less than ideal network conditions.. Or when switching from 4G to 3G sometimes. At home on Wifi is flawless.

I had the issue. I didn't feel like dealing with it so I uninstalled the update. Not really wanting to pay $10 a month anyways. You can look through the reviews to, there are several people having the same issues.
I too have this issue. I thought I had it solved because I hadn't had the error for a couple of hours after resetting some things, but now it's happening again and I haven't installed or done a thing.
It's a shame. The sound quality is far superior than other streaming apps I've used.

I don't get FCs. But, I constantly have songs stop while streaming with the message "Failed to play requested stream." Its almost to the point of making the app unusable it happens so often.
My 3g signal at work isn't the greatest, but i can see the download progress of the song is always past the point where the "error" happens. Also, i seem to be able to cache songs and play them off of my sd card without too much of a problem.
I've read that some ad blockers could cause problems with Google Music Beta and i've got AdFree installed and working. I'll try uninstalling that just to see what happens, but i'm just wondering if anyone else has had any issues like this. Very frustrating.
I uploaded the newest version and I have adblock. No problems. What prl are you on? Log in to Google music from your PC. Click the gear icon. Go in to the settings and make sure only the devices you use are authorized. If you flash new roms alot everyone of them authorize a new device. Delete the ones you don't use. Update your prl. If all else fail TB everything and wipe.

Good call on the Authorized Devices...i've flashed at least 4 or 5 different ROMs since i first signed for Music Beta.
However, i uninstalled AdFree and since my first post and it's worked a little better than before. I still have had songs just die for no reason (the download status bar was complete)...but, now the error message says "Error playing requested track."
Update your prl

Since updating from Market to Google Play Store, I have been having different issues with it.
There are alot of Force Closes, a lot of apps 'Are not avaialable on my country..." and what is mostly making me mad, is that it has stopped working since 2 days.
It shows 'Server Error |Retry|'
I have read a lot about this and it seems like Google has made it unavailable to some countries.
Some other usesrs of different phones, have already fixed the issue by creating an app called 'MarketEnabler.apk" I tried installing that app on my Mini, but it doesnt install, reboots my phone in the process.
They seem to have another option for those with unrooted phones, which by connecting to a VPN server.
I also tried that in my brothers unrooted Mini, but it didnt work too.
I would like to know if others have this issue too and if they can help fixing this ..
Thanks for your time.
Google play have new security features and it checks the app compatibility in an advanced manner in newer version there are many compatibility check which will show most of apps unavailable so please downgrade the version of market
Try removing the update (in applications -> all -> market).
Or you could try wiping the application's data. Settings> applications> manage applications> google play store (under all)> clear data.

not everyone.. had 3.5.15 installed and had not a single server error..
I meant every one in my country.
In some forums they say it is happening in different countries, and that Google has disabled it for some time.

I got a phone a couple of days ago, and Market still not working.
So, it's a country thing ?
reinstall Gapps and wipe data
re-install Google play store then wipe data
Try changing your 'Local' settings to the default, load market, close it, set Local settings back and try again. (if the stock language is the one you're using, try switching to something else)
None worked.
Fortunately Google decided to fix this issue and everyone in my country has now a working Google Play.
Oh and by the way, it seems they have decided to once again change its name, now it is Google Play Shop

Assuming you are using wifi, try resetting your router. If that doesn't work, try updating one on data & see if that works. I had 4 apps this morning that wouldn't update until I switched to data.
Cowboy Up or Go Home!
People are assuming it is a widespread issue I had the same problem but the issue has been resolved and the playstore is fully functional now.

I've had some issues after installing Hyperdroid with 4.3 and the 4.3 gapps. Quick fix seemed to go through mobile data instead of wifi. That seemed to work. Next thing that worked for me was to add a second Google account, switch Google play to use it. Remove the second account and switch Google play back.

I've had my VZW Moto X for a week now and I'm having trouble with the Hangouts app. Every so often when I bring up Hangouts to read a new message, it'll pop up for a brief moment then kick me back out to my homescreen. Then will continue to do so every time I try to open the app back up until I restart my phone. I've tried clearing cache, app data, uninstalling updates, but nothing fixes it without a reboot... at least not consistently. And to top it all off... because Hangouts came preinstalled, I can't completely uninstall it to try a fresh install. This has happened at least once every other day since I've gotten this phone. I was running Dalvik until yesterday when i switched to ART. Happens using both. I used Hangouts on my 2013 Moto X without ever an issue. Any suggestions?
Strange. I had hangouts fc on me once. Today actually. But it was only once and worked fine afterwards. I refuse to update to the new hangouts. They ruined it
I had the same issue for the first day or two, then the force closing stopped.
Same here but rebooting clears it up

reboot
Had this issue like 3 or 4 times on VZW as well. Only way to open the app to send a text was to reboot, very annoying...latest verzion of hangouts.
Still having this issue. Really annoying.

So I found a quicker fix than restarting the phone. If Hangouts force closes, I open the stock android messaging app for just a moment. Then, once I've backed out of it, Hangouts magically works again without a reboot. Don't know why it works... but it does... at least on my device.
I really wish I could figure out what is causing this issue... It happens at least once a day and nothing seems to be a fix that works every time.
It seems to me that every time Hangouts force closes initially, I get a notification from the Play Store for an app update. Also, when it force closes, usually Messaging will start force closing as well if I try to open it. So incredibly frustrating...

Agree fully. I have not been able to associate it with anything but it happens daily. Drives me insane.
I'm tempted to do a factory reset, but I'm afraid I'll go through all the trouble to reset everything and it'll continue to happen. Are you using the stock launcher or something else?

I'm using the Google Experience Launcher. The fact that more people aren't complaining about it leads me to believe it must be some weird conflict between a couple apps/Google services.

Yeah I need to try and remember to get a log next time I see it.
It just happened again! I really think it's somehow tied to Play Store Update notifications. Any time I'm actively using Hangouts and it crashes, I will then immediately get a notification that I have one or more updates available in the Play Store. How could these two be connected and what can I do to sever this connection? I sideloaded the updated version of the Play Store... maybe uninstall updates?

Yeah and I was finally able to do some digging. It's actually tied into contacts somehow, which I never had noticed before. When hangouts is auto-closing so will people, phone, and generating a new text message. Basically anything looking for contacts. Still not sure why though.
I think that for some reason it's tied to Play Store notifications. I've also had Hangouts crash while sending a MMS picture message. Don't know if these crash instances are related.

It's not tied to Play Store. I have no updates pending and I'm looking at the logcat.
Just go to app info and clear the data
It should work on most cases
i guys, I`d like to ask if any of you had issues with the spotify app on the s10...precisely my downloads keep getting deleted...talked with spotify, told me registration got corrupted....but this happened only on the s10..and it is a regular thing....to solve it had to hard reset, delete registration on spotify site, reinstall and redownload all...thought this would solve it, and it did...for a few weeks...but after a week of not restarting the s10, when i did, it deleted the spotify downloads...again.....and also, although it did work, no spotify player no longer goes to landscape....and in landscape i cant use the fb messenger bubles...you can? and I also feel like the whole system is somewhat unstable regarding app functionality...is it just me? I mean Oneui seems ok, and apps seem to work ok, but they make the weirdest crashes, like they`re crashing with the system....would like some points of view, experiences...
I don't use spotify and messenger in landscape but i haven't experienced any app crash. It's really stable here.
