Hey guys.
Title says it all. I have google play music and it's recording MULTIPLE nexus 6's.
To the point it locked me out of deauthorizing any devices, because I used up my 4 allowed devices (YES THIS IS STILL ACTIVE). I just talked to them - they said this is in effect and not going away.
So here's my question - how do I get it to stop adding multiple devices when it's the EXACT same device but different ROMs...
So not impressed. May leave google music.
Each time you load a ROM, your phone gets a new unique identifier. This is why you have authorized 4 devices. Either stop flashing or stop logging in. Same basic system as Apple.

Nope. Something changed then this year. It never did this before. I have a one plus one. Every new ROM NEVER once changed when I logged in from the phone. It always read 1 device. Never showed multiple. Same with my tablet (Samsung Tab S) and my Note 4.
PLUS if this was the case - would it not add another instance of your device if say.. an update was pushed that effected the kernel of the phone or when a phone went from 4.4 to 5.0 or when you factory reset your phone?

I'd like an answer to this as well, and a workaround. This could be an issue for a lot of people that use an otherwise fantastic service. Your assumption would also have to be correct... Any old user that says yes to a stock OTA update would be using up another slot when they reload Google Play Music.
Just a shot in the dark, did you restore the app+data from Titanium Backup, from Google's own sync, or start from scratch again?
If you restore from tb sometimes it won't register a new device, especially on 4.4.4 and earlier but with 5.0 this seems to be different. I had them reset my google music, but at this point I ended up switching to Spotify because its ridiculous that you can only register 5 mobile devices.

Always have started from scratch. May be going to Spotify soon. I'm going to try titanium and restore android ID. Never thought it would be 5.0, but that may be the culprit as well. Even though I did install CM12 on the 1+1 and never saw this issue.
All in all, this is a pretty stupid move from google. Guess I should of seen them bending over eventually.
In play music you can revoke the access for the false phones.
Menu>settings>devices then delete away I have deleted many nexus 6's and 10's this way.

Yup ... So have I. Until yesterday. I could no longer revoke access, hence the reason for this post. I had to call Google and have them reset my music device count. Which you can only do once and you only get 4 device removal a year... Hence the problem.
if you open google play music, press the left tab to go to options, press settings, press my devices, and you can deautherize any devices you want, just press the x.

Right, but have you done it more than four times? What he's saying is that once you flash four separate ROMs and have to de-authorize each time, a limit is reached.

Interesting, because mine WAS doing that. Not anymore tho. I had 3 nexus 6s on my device list
It hasn't been doing that with any phone. But because I had 3 nexus 6 devices listed I got penalized and had to wipe my entire music account.
Why can google not see its the exact same phone?

they can see its the same phone. but your account could have produced another identifying number. i believe titanium backup can restore these identifying numbers.

And yes. I'll be using titanium backup to see if that fixes it.

Since my first Android device, music has created a new device with each new ROM I installed and logged in. I just go i n occasionally and deauthorize the older ones. They alert me when I can't log in another. I never had more than 3 or 4 in Nandroids anyway. Definitely nothing new there. I LOVE Google Music! Rock on!

Things have changed. There are only 4 de authorizations allowed in a year time. So ... eventually you won't be able to de authorize anymore phones. Which means. IF new ROMs on the same phone create a new unique ID , you will not be using Google Music with your ROMs if you swap ROMs a few times a month.
Restoring the id with Titanium makes it not create a new device.
I've installed (clean wipe) 5+ roms on my Nexus 6, restored the id each time before opening play music, and only have one Nexus 6 on my device list.

THIS is what i've been waiting for. And how do you do the restore process?
Just backup Settings Storage? and ONLY restore Android ID from TiBu Menu Settings?
For me, after I open TB after installing a new rom it says the id is changed and asks me if I want to restore it. I say yes, it reboots, I move on.
I assume it has to see your TB backup folder to do that.
Also I use the pro/paid version of TB - not sure if that matters though.

The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...
I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!
i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.
Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.
Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!
Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.
Ok, I know that this is kind of weird "problem" to post about here, but my One doesn't have any of the Sprint bloat/apps. I suspect it might be because my Network Operator Name in the About portion of Settings is "HTC" instead of "Sprint". I'm running viperboy's stock odexed 1.29.651.10. My wife, who also has a Sprint One, is running 100% stock and has all of the Sprint crap and her Network Operator is Sprint. So is this because I'm running a rooted "stock" ROM? Or is there something else going on? In any event, I kind of wanted to check out the Scout navigation app and it apparently isn't on my phone and certainly doesn't show up in the Play Store when I search for it or under the Sprint category. How can I get my phone to believe that it is a Sprint phone? I'll worry about freezing or ripping out bloatware I don't want later, I just want the choice!
Where did you get the phone? It doesn't sound like it's a retail device.

I got it at Sam's Club from the retail phone guy. I should add that everything else seems to work fine: Play Store access including paid apps, make and receive phone calls, 3g and LTE, wifi, GPS, etc.

A lot of the "stock" rooted roms still remove bloatware apps. Check the rom's thread on here and see if they were removed. Sometimes the bloat apps are still there, but moved to a different folder. That way, you can add what you want.
There was a thread on this a while back. I believe the general assumption is you got an HTC demo unit. Its htc branded as opposed to sprint branded. No issues save for missing sprint apps. If you take it back, theyll exchange it for the simple fact its branded htc. Just ruu first. No need to exchange, though.

I kind of wondered about that. I don't think it's really worth taking it back just for some carrier apps I'll probably end up pulling out anyway. I wonder why there seem to be so many demo units out there being sold as retail? Maybe the initial supply problems?
I dont know man. Maybe they got shipped out in retail boxes beforehand and some sprint stores never put them out on display and got them mixed up? Thats a mofo of a coincidence if so though

Further research
I've poked around a little more in my system files to see if there is any reference to Sprint and found a few apks in /system/app: SprintDMS.apk, Sprint_Worldwide.apk, SprintInstaller.apk, and SprintZone.apk. If I try to install them using ES File Explorer, the installer runs and warns me that they are system apps and tells me about permissions, then fails with the message "App not installed." (Well duh, that's why I tapped on the apk....) So at least some of the Sprint stuff is on my phone, but it is dormant somehow. Is it possible that I just didn't get activated quite right after rooting? I sort of remember something called Hands-Free Activation running for several minutes on the first boot after rooting and cancelling it because it did not seem like it was going to complete. Maybe that has something to do with it?
You (or someone) changed something in your dialer settings. There is an option to turn off sprint branding in there. When you were on stock did you have any sprint animations when the phone booted?
You just have to change one setting to fix it if the problem is what I think it is.
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Thank Autoprime for posting this fix. All your sprint apps will come back too. If that doesn't fix it PM me.

Just found this thread (not sure how I missed it when I was searching and reading thread titles before posting my thread). It is full of people with varying degrees of the same "problem" I have, but for some of them significant things are missing, like mobile network settings and so on. The fix is basically flashing the RUU and letting it download its Sprint package a few minutes after connecting to the network after that, then rebooting. I'm backing up all my apps now to give that a try.

Alright, I flashed the RUU, updated the profile and PRL and ... got the Sprint icons on the second home screen to show up! But mostly they are just links to the Play Store and the items are not available for my carrier as my carrier is still HTC. Does anyone know of a way to force my phone to get reprovisioned entirely? Maybe that would help....
And now confirmed not a demo unit, just a regular old Sprint One. So it must be something with how it got activated, right?
Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!

PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.
Anyone else?

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.
So? Did it work?

I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far
Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.
Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:

Hey ! I have a Lg G3 rooted but it doesn't work for me ....
I have CM but want unlimited back on android 6.01
So I have Nexus 6 and every time I flash something and wipe data I get the new lollipop option to restore from a previous phone, you know apps, etc.. Does anyone know how to delete old backups.. I have some from previous phones that I don't even own anymore.. Also out of all the times I have gone through that screen not once has offered me the option of restoring from my previous nexus 6 backup.. So my question is twofold how do I delete old backups and how do I get my Nexus to show up in this backup screen?
Thanks for any advice!
To my knowledge there isn't any way to manage those. Now if I could just see some of my N6 backups when I do a clean flash. All I see are my old devices. FWIW, this seems to be a pretty common problem on Shamu and AOSP roms.
I think you can only erase all backups, not selectively via the Google web interface

That would be great if I could delete all of those.. I don't have any of those devices anymore.. I tried searching through my google account.. I found ways to de-authorize old phones from my google account yet that didn't delete any of those backups..

i cant find it now ive answered this question before but cant find that post either
I don't see the ability to delete devices. But you can remove them from being visible in your list. You need to go to the GPS online, not through the app.
To the right, under your icon/picture is the gear symbol. Click it and select Settings. Then it should show your devices. Uncheck the boxes and those devices shouldn't show anymore.

That doesn't remove them from this list. I have already done that with old devices.. Why Google makes it so difficult to remove old devices is beyond me.. What also doesn't make sense is that it never adds my Nexus 6 to that list..
well i found the way to delete all of those backups.. I still don't know why my N6 or any of my current devices don't show in that list, but at least I found the way to delete them.. Only draw back is that apparently you can't pick which ones you want to delete.. it's all or nothing oh well..
For anyone else looking for this you have to go to your google account dashboard (not android device manager in google play store) expand the "android" tab where it lists your devices. At the bottom of that list there is a link to delete all backup data.. click that and you're done no more backup options in the Lollipop setup process..
I just did mine and reset my N6 to test.. Now it would be great if my Nexus would start getting backed up and show up on that list..

That's where thought it was but I couldn't see it when I was looking last to answer. Odd.
Go to the web browser and search dashboard.. (Google).. Its there that you can view all data related to your account..e.g contacts, backed up data etc..

The delete button a previous post @lazarus2297 said was there to delete all backups under the Android tab in Google Dashboard. I just looked for myself and have no option to delete them either.
I had the option to delete.. once I hit that option it was gone..and has of now failed to reappear. Its weird because I have the backup option turned on on all my current devices..and yet when I reset my Nexus 6 and go through the setup option it doesn't even offer me the option to restore. I have no idea how to get a device to show in the back up list.. and I also have no idea why those devices that were listed in my restore option were there.. This is one area Google could really improve in.. The way they track devices in the device manager history is all kinds of messed up...
Hey guys,
I`am having a problem with my Nexus 6 not beeing recognised in ADM and on the web Google Play site in device manager though it shows up in Google Play and syncing goes without problems. Running full stock MMB29V not rooted.
I contacted Google to look if the issue is beeing caused on their end because i tried everything else to solve the issue on my end.
Things i tried:
1.
1) Go into multitasking and close Android Device manager if it is open.
2) Open Google Settings app. Then go to Security. Uncheck both Android Device manager options. I believe they are Remote Erase and Tracking.
3) Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services. Clear cache and data.
4) Reboot
5) Back to Google Settings. Recheck both options.
2.
Did a data factory reset
3.
Reflashed the factory image folowed by a data factory reset.
4.
Booted up in safe mode.
ok @gee2012, ill try to make this painless..
now, in my n6, when i go into device manager, it cant find my n6. BUT, if i open my device manager app on my sgs4, it finds my n6 right away. it just seems like an android/google issue.

Visibility isn`t my main problem per se, i also can t enroll`in the N beta program for instance for automatic updates becasue it says i have no eligable devices linked to my account.

Yup, in My Devices its visible but not in the device manager section
Weird.
A friend had this same issue while trying to enroll - he got around this by adding a second Google account (you could create a new dummy account I guess if you don't have a second one already) to his phone, and signed up on the preview page using that account.

Could do that, but i want to know whats wrong my account (settings) or at the Google end and why it doesn`t link my phone to my account in the ADM.
Understood, and agreed. You'd want ADM to be able to locate your device in case it goes missing.
i'm exactly with this problem too on my nexus 6p.
i'm not able to see my device on ADM, keeps spining. already did all the troubleshooting i could find including the ones on the original post.
i do have another 2 google accounts on my nexus and no problem with them on finding the device in ADM and also the nexus is showing up on androidbeta enroll devices.
It might be something related with my primary google account since there is no problem on the other 2 google accounts.
The only thing that's different on my primary account is that it is protected with 2 step verification.
it's really weird and i really wanted to enroll to android N on my primary account.

My primary account is 2-step secured too. In Google Dashboard it also shows 2 Nexus 6`s , the primary secured one has the option to remove it from the account and the other non-secured one can`t be removed. Hope Google can solve this annoying issue.
I'm having the same issue. Even my second account doesn't show up.
i turned my location off, then my n6 stopped showing up in device manager. i turned on my location, and my n6 showed up in the device manager.
Tried that but no go
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I tried everything humanly possible including your suggestion, at last i made a bugrepport and sent it to Google after contacting them and after investigation they can not determine the cause of the issue and they said they get back to me if they have a solution. I`am using 2 accounts atm so i can at least sign in properly.
