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.

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

[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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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:

Dev believes to have fixed script although I'm still seeing the issue. Don't be fooled by thinking you have corrupt files. It definitely seems to be a Nexus 4 media server issue. I use power amp mostly.

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!

I solved the media server issue unistalling viber.
Now it is ok..

for me it was pictures saved with the Camera FV5 app that kept corrupting something. As soon as I deleted them from my library media server usage is at 6%

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.

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!!!

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.

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!!!!

[Q] Open Youtube links in Youtube app as a default?

Hello guys,
When I click any Youtube link in Facebook app, it gives me options which app do you want to use to open. In this selections, there is no Youtube app option. I have searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789623
The problem is, I don't have that app in my system. I am rooted and have TMOBUS version. Is there any way to use Youtube app as a default for Youtube links?
Thanks!

Bumping this up, when I open Youtube links from FB app I get the same thing as this image. I can choose between browsers or youtube app.
However I just saw that when I have a link in the FB messages I don't get the same.
I get a pop up with "Streaming Media Player" and "ES Media Player" and not any options for a browser or the youtube app.
I'm talking about Youtube links in Facebook chat messages as I said.
Can anyone please confirm if it happens for them also?

Touchless control - music

I can't seem to do the 'okay Google Now play *track name*' anyone of you can successfully do it? Thanks in advance
Sent from my LG-D958 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I can get it to play a song, but it's hit or miss most of the time. Sometimes I say play the song title only and it works, other times I say the artist and song title and it works. Other times in both scenarios it responds incorrectly taking me to the web, or sates it can't start the "instant mix". It's all over the place really, a crap shoot. I'm on 4.4.

Same here. The ghost in the machine has a temper.

Mine won't play music either.....which is the only use I'd have for touchless control. Now touchless control is frozen. No other use for it. Personally.

Mine actually seems to work pretty well most of the time. Maybe the fact that all of my music is uploaded on Google play music helps out?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

I could never get it to play what I wanted. So I just made an app via Tasker app factory that will just play whatever I had playing last. I just tell it to "Open App, 'Start Music'" and it will. Not perfect but better than the randomness of what they were doing.

All it ever does on my Dev edition is search the Web, darn it

I made a tasker app to solve this.
I made it how I want it to work anyway.
Install the app. It will be called "Shuffle".
Do your ok Google now or whatever you say to open touchless control.
Say "open shuffle"
The app will be opened. It opens Google music, starts playing music on shuffle mode. Then goes back to your home screen. Then I use Bluetooth to control it...like next track and whatever. Or you can drag down the status bar and control it that way.
Works great for me! Thought I'd share it with those interested.
Of course you don't need tasker, cause it's an app now. But you do need root and have to grant it root permission. Don't know why....tasker just makes it that way it seems.
Enjoy.

Nope...never works for me. Or some others it seems. The tasker app is simple...say "open shuffle". Done, you're music is shuffling.
Obviously it doesn't help if you want to listen to something in particular. But in the car I use shuffle...and hit next on my Bluetooth if I want to skip a song.
That's just me. And that's how the app was made. Just thought I'd share it.
