Lyrics not showing up in music player - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

This I might agree... I do have mp3s that are widely famous though... Really don't understand why gracenote doesn't have them. Maybe I should try some lady gaga songs and Psy songs lol! I heard they are blockbuster hits :silly:

Grizzly Bear - 'Sheilds' album has lyrics for all the songs on the album. In fact, on one song (and only one), the lyrics were displayed karaoke style on the background, in addition to being available to scroll through.

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.
Thanks!!!

Hmm, strange. Good luck! But judging by the hit rate I'm having with lyrics, you aren't missing much!

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.

Ok, today I downloaded TunnelBear to create a vpn to USA and music showed Lyrics instantly.
It completely depends where you access. Thanks all for your responses.

I tried TunnelBear but still without success

Hi all.. News and good ones.
After connecting with TunnelBear, and successfully being able to see Lyrics, today I open the music player. I'm in my mobile network, no wifi or VPN and to my surprise, Lyrics works!!!!
Problem solved.
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 .

You also have to switch your phone language, for example select language to English (United States).

I find soundhound app from play store
Will
1) find song title of any (most) music you play, whether played on your phone or any other device near your phone
2) displays lyrics

Google Music Beta Not Working on Thunderbolt

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.

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

Tune in Radio Users - Please help

I have tune-in radio app ( pro ) and I have an avid user of CNN Newsroom station - http://tunein.com/radio/CNN-s20407/ - its the exact one on TV
This used to work over 3G but now only works on Wi-Fi
I am with Rogers running ICS ( results are same with older ROMS ), same issue with another friend who has Captivate
I thought it was Rogers blocking it but it works on my friends iPhone ( with Rogers ) and I for the life of me cannot figure it out
My workaround is to use VPN but I get lot of disconnections
Can some AT & T'ers and Canadians try this on their phone and let me know please
iPhone used to have a s/w called VOIP over 3G, which tricked it by making the phone think its on Wi-Fi while on 3G. Is there any such s/w for Android?
Please, its a free download..can someone just try and let me know
Works fine for me on at&t CM9 ICS Build 17 w Glitch 14b5
Don't know what to tell you

Same for me in Montreal. All radios are working on 3G but CNN Newsroom (and CNN News Update) still won't connect.
Will check later at home on Wifi.
TuneIn RadioPro v4.0
EDIT1: On wifi I do get feeds but not 3G.
EDIT2: Tried the Free version and can only connect to CNN News update on 3G but the CNN Situation Room is still not connecting. I think the feed being 32k wma might have something to do with it.
EDIT3: Yep wma is the culprit. Every stream that was wma either 32k,50k or 64k could not open over 3G but were fine under Wifi. As nothing to do with TuneIn being Pro or not.

If it works its because the stream it is either AAC or MP3 format. For what i read Android does not support Windows Format (wma,wmv). It does not have the licensed codec to play it so that's why it does not work.

Actually I got it working if I use US VPN, so is this still an wma/androidissue?
Corporate WiFi filters out radio or other streams - to reduce charges. So testing at home is the best.
WMA streaming didn't work for me in non-IE browsers.
Can't u use Pandora Radio?
Another thing - CNN sux, provides bunch of official U.S. government or partisan lies. Can't u find alternative more interesting source?

The only thing i see is that the protocol used may have something to do with how the app sees the stream. It works via wifi (there goes my theory about wma not being supported) so there are no reason for 3G not to work.
VPN can be considered similar to Wifi since it uses the ip protocol to establish the tunneling and might be seen as "Wifi" link.
Is it a android issue ?... i'm no longer sure.

It works on iPhone with same carrier
Pandora doesnt have CNN, in addition to not being available to Canadians. I can make it work with VPN but then might as well listen to CNN with that
I don't mind listening to propaganda FOX, direct me to a link ( same as their TV news )
wifi-only option
I'm looking for something just the other way 'round. A wifi-only option, I noticed iOs has an advanced option panel, but can't seem to find on the free android version

Throw not playing video files

My Xperia Z (stock rom, rooted, cwm) works perfectly with sending music or photos to my Samsung TV B series via throw.
When i try to play any of my video files from Xperia Z to my TV, the video playback not works at all for ANY video formats....
I get the message "CANNOT PLAY VIDEO"
I search via net and find a solution to turn phone off and back on but not working for me...
Any solution to fix it?
Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem since the begining, the very first time I tried it, it worked just great with all the sample videos. But to be honest after I rebooted the phone for the first time it never worked again. Music and Photo's work fine. The phone will now not throw to any of my DLNA devices for video, regardless of format.
I have just tried something out of curiousity, will report back if it helps anything

What are you talking about??? The transport is DLNA, so will only work with media that is supported by DLNA. As said here already stupid idea, if you read the posts you will discover that at least for me it worked the very first time I tried it with video.
What I have been testing are files that worked before, nothing changed, and formats supported by the TV and DLNA, so not sure where you come up with (unknown) I don't believe anyone mentioned that.
Have you got it working?

Thanks for the upload.
So disappointed to see that artists from compilation albums still show in the artist list. I can't express how much I hate it.
I have a lot of music on my phone which includes many compilation albums where I have one off artists especially on mix albums where it has serveal different songs on one track and the artist ID is something like artist1/artist2/artist3.
I stick to using Google Play Music as like most other decent players it will ignore artists from albums marked with Various Artists in the information and won't add the individual tracks artist information to the artist list.
See the comparison in the screen shots. It makes the list triple in size with unnecessary artists I don't need to see.

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.
