Google Music Beta-Deauthorize - HTC Sensation

just for information for everyone using Google Music Beta. I came across this problem myself and thought I would share what I found with others. Post by VoidedSaint
If you are a google beta music tester, and you have flashed multiple roms on your phone and when you try to stream music from google, and you get the you have authorized blah blah blah deauthorize an account to use this service.
Google music beta has a certain number of accounts that are associated with Google Music Beta
it allows only 8
once you have reached 8 you have to go to the website to deactivate a several accounts.
now for instance this is what i found was my issue
open google music on my phone, no file could be played because it said i had too many accounts linked to my google music, i instantly thought wtf! is google giving away information that allows others to connect to my music?
so i go on to google music beta, go under settings to see what is connected to it

all within 1 to 2 days apart from 1 another
i dont remember because this happened last night that i took care of it, but im going by sheer memory.
i deactivated each Motorola DROIDX account, and reopened google music back on my phone, sure enough i was able to listen to music again.
so in other words
if you flash a new rom, or wipe data/factory reset deactivate your google music on the dx through the web, or else it will continue to build up like mine has. However it may have just been an anomaly for me. But if you have flashed multiple roms and are on Google Music Beta, check to see what is connected to you.
i just figured some of you would want to know this nice little bit of information. Because apparently google music doesnt read esn or s/ns for phones they just recognize the phone and whenever google music is reinstalled, well you get the idea.

I haven't run across this yet but thanks for the awesome heads up! I love having fixes BEFORE I see the issues!

I've had it happen twice

See I flash so much that I often don't make it through a day without 3 or 4 flashes. I don't even use my music beta that often cause I've been groove shark-ing and player pro-ing mostly. My girlfriend thinks I'm an idiot for flashing my phone constantly.
She also says that she's going to pretend to be a smartphone so that I'll pay attention to her hahahaha

Google Music on phone won't show recently added

I'm trying to figure out why when I go to my google music on my phone, and go to recently added. It shows all 2500 songs I have added to my google music. I added these songs months ago. But when I go to the music player in the browser, and go to recently added, it does show the correct recently added. In fact, even when I go in the app on my tablet it shows the right recently added. What's wrong with my phone app? I can't figure this one out. I even set it to 1 week, refreshed and still showing all my songs.
Mine does the same thing... if I get a chance ill try and load up the leaked Google music from ics to see if this bug is fixed

I find if I force stop/clear data it'll then show the new stuff. it just sucks having to do that.
dam it still showed everything. Its so weird because the same exact app, on my tablet it works just fine.

Google play will take over Market

Hi all,
Check this out
https://play.google.com/store
Soo... this is the Android Market with a new name (removing "Android") that is meant to be used on all devices, with Android Apps being 3rd in the list of things you can buy. Oh, and they have an iOS app now to slowly siphon their users once they buy stuff.
Also, does anyone know what tablet this is?

Google on Tuesday introduced Google Play, a cloud-based service formed from the merger of Android Market, Google Music, and Google eBookstore. It's Google's take on Apple's iTunes Store, with a dash of iCloud.

I read the article and TBH I still dont get it. Nothing new that I didn't know. Does Google want more people to know about its Market features? I really just dont get what they merged? The market looks the same on my phone as it did before. The market via pc browser didnt change either, so I dont know what the big fuss is.. If someone can explain so my retarded ass gets it that would be much appreciated..

OK, I'm going to give this a shot:
1. "The unified store as an effort to eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices."
2. "Google Play is entirely cloud-based so all your music, movies, books, and apps are stored online, always available to you, and you never have to worry about losing them or moving them again,"
3. Compete with Itune store.
4. The interface maybe similar to Market, but the way they store their content and how you retrieve them and the anywhere/anyplace availability is the key.
Example1 for item 1: You have 1000 songs store on your SD card and you back them up in your PC. 2 days later you down load 20 more songs from the Market but using your PC, now you need to sync these songs to your phone. Nope, not with Google play, all your songs are stored online, you can sync these songs directly to your phone.(eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices.

My music was cloud based. I dont know about movies or books because I never bought so I couldnt tell you. It just seems to me that they are highlighting features that have always been there..

That's the whole idea, it will work for everyone. In your case only music cloud base, other people may have movies or books or what ever. With Google play, it's one place cloud storage. How about other items that I listed??

NICE! I know most of ppl think this is stupid but I think Google is making a right move. But if they don't keep up, they will fall behind and so is their business.

Google is continuing they're progression. Setting themselves up to be the future one stop shop for communication and entertainment.
I like to watch it unfold but I don't care for how invasive Google will eventually be with our information. In Europe you can send Google a letter asking them for all your history with Google services. One gentleman had 15,000 pages sent to him from Google. Google isn't legally obligated to do so in the US.
I'm done rambling now

if your phone is rooted, it will not allow you to rent movies straight to your phone. I was able to get it start playing when I put the browser into desktop mode on the link it posts, but it just keeps loading. Anyone have any suggestions?
If you are rooted, DO NOT USE GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES.
Google does not allow movies to play on rooted phones, citing licensing issues (though I'm not really sure what having root access has to do with pirating movies).
If you have bought or rented a movie that you haven't watched yet, you can submit a support ticket requesting a refund. I got my refund within a few hours of complaining, so at least they're good about that.
In protest, I will no longer be making any music, movie, or book purchases from Google. I also changed all my privacy settings for my Google account to be least beneficial to Google (ie: no customized ads, etc). I'd like to see all root users that are pissed off by this move do the same. It seems perhaps Google doesn't realize just how many of us there are.

That's been the case since Google allowed movie renting on their store. Honestly, I don't think it's Google's choice. The movie studios probably have a strong voice when it came to this choice. I'm guessing the movie studios believe that if you're rooted, it'd be easier to get passed the DRM they put in place.
I honestly don't care since I don't watch movies from the Play Store. The majority of Android users most likely never root their phones, thus they don't "lose out" on this option.

rooted nook color
my nook color has a rooted sd card which has unlocked my 'reader' to so much more. Google Play marks most applications as incompatible, how can I change to something that Google play see as compatible? Other markets will load apps which work, but lately many apps are only available from Google Play. Suggestions anyone?

This is the Droid Charge forum. The Nook Color forum would be a much better place to ask that question.
I like how Google Play just introduced its first physical product, the GSM Galaxy Nexus. $400 out of contract. Damn.
I paid $300 for the Charge and it isn't even listed on the software update slides leaked recently. I hope Google goes with another company instead of Samsung for their next Nexus phone.
As for the Charge, I still like it, but wish I could add ram and a bigger flashdisk to it.

[Q] Title-less App showing up in Play Store

About a 4 or 5 days ago a app started showing up in my "Installed" tab in the Google Play Store. The app has no title, and it says its made by TimothyMilla. The comments on the app say that its tied to Teeter, which is an HTC Bloatware game that comes with the phone. I haven't clicked Open on the app yet because the other apps made by TimothyMilla look suspect, TimothyMilla didn't make Teeter, and I didn't install whatever this is.
My question is does anyone else have this issue, or know what it is? Or does anyone know if TimothyMilla apps are spyware? Look Out Security couldn't find any maleware, but i'm really concerned with this showing up.
I've tried wiping everything off my phone, which removed the app at first, but by the time I finished reinstalling all my apps, it showed up again. (I reinstalled apps directly from Google Play, not through a phone back up).
Yeah I have the same app showing up in my play account. Comes up clean jen scanned though..

It's Teeter, however does not know why it shows up this way.
I removed teeter via titanium Backup (never played it) and it was also gone from My Apps on the store.
Hi!
I have such strange "app" too. And I've teeter installed on my phone. Anyway, I've never seen Timothymilla before yesterdey on my phone market.
I don't want to remove Teether. What is this app?
I noticed this yesterday as well. I clicked 'Open' and it opened Teeter. I haven't noticed anything different about my phone, so for now I'm just assuming its a link anomaly of some sort.

That is exactly what it is. This "dev" has an "app" with the same package name as the stock teeter app and thus is being mistakenly tagged in the store. Timothy Milla is NOT the dev that created teeter. The same thing is happening with the GS2's stock email app. The store is mistaking it for some Russian app. This is all do to the latest update to the store, 3.5.15. In short, you don't have Timothy Milla's app, you have teeter. The market link launches teeter because that is the package on the device that corresponds to that "app."
I don't know what happened but such entry has disappeared on my Play Store.
I had a similar event show up in my apps yesterday on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet. The strange thing is that it doesn't show the typical 3 choices of Update, Open, and Un-install. It just has a button for Open. I have no idea what it is so I am not opening it.
Is there some way to block an app from showing updates?
Rooted A500 - Thor HC 14.2 ROM
TimothyMilla appeared again!
This bothers me a lot!
One thing I forgot to mention is that this unknown app of mine has no permissions listed and also has no ratings or comments section. Does your Timothy Milla app have all these usual "bits" shown in its listing, or are they also missing on your mystery app?
As for the permission list, I don't see one too. But I don't see permission even on other normal apps. As for the comments, yes, they are present, I see few comments.
This morning I had 4 apps in the update list on my tablet, but the mysterious app previously discussed was gone. Hopefully Google figured out what was going on and dealt with it on their server.
Actually it disappeared again on my device too.
So, it seems to be a Google Play issue.
I'm getting the same information on the similar thread I started on Android Forums, so it looks like the issue has been discovered and fixed.
Not spyware
Well this is a little flattering... I'd just like to clear some things up. No, this isn't some major hack on the Android market that puts you all at risk. It is however, a huge bug in the new Play Store Google put out a little while ago. Let me explain: Google used to have a list of package names that they would screen from appearing in the market for example, preinstalled apps such as Teeter. Somehow when Google updated to the Play store, this system got reversed and it somehow picked my developer account (I'm still trying to contact Google and find out how) and displayed this on your "My apps" section. No, the app was not automagically installed on your phone, it was always preinstalled but it just now showed up in the Android market because of faulty programming on the engineering team for Google Play.

There is no way my device would have an intrinsic application which doesn't even list itself in English. Especially because the device on which it appeared is running a custom ROM, so I know which apps it would have "preinstalled". I believe what you are saying is that Google initially chose to block your account based upon that app, and it somehow got through. They likely had a good reason to do so. I see you do have other apps on the store, but every one of them lists in English. Not very compelling evidence that the rogue app was something safe.

Feed back on my app gomp3

Okay guys I made a new app called gomp3. It is free, so try it out download it and let me know how it works please. You can set as ring tone, listen, share the music and so much more. Since I am a new member I can not post links to outside the forum. But go to the google play store and search gomp3 should be the first app that pops up. I just need some feed back on it.
Will look at it and give some feedback.
After download: Great way to download mp3s for free! Really like the simplicity. A few critiques:
1. Not sure if the music is acquired legally or not. Hopefully Google keeps it up on the Play Store because it reminds me of TV Portal and that got removed.
2. Holos themed UI is becoming more and more popular so implementing that would be nice.
3. My first download failed halfway through (my fault, Wifi issues with Nexus 7), and when I retry the download status bar keeps flickering from where I left off previously to its current restart position. It downloaded fine and everything seemed functional. Also the dual download is kind of annoying, not sure why it downloads twice. Glad part of it can be put in the background though.
Will definitely continue to use as long as the songs work and I can find what I need. Has a lot of potential (as long as it stays legal)

Google Play Music all Access - no access

I tried to get into the trail version of all access, but I just get the notification that the item I tried to purchase could not be found.
Anyone knows what to do?

It might not be the same issue, but I had already signed up on the day it came out, and this morning (when my subscription was due to renew) it stopped working - it wouldn't show me anything but the 2 random mp3 files that were on the phone. Also, any mention of the subscription disappeared from the store page.
I ended up uninstalling it, reinstalling, and the login process took me through subscribing again. It worked but all the music I had previously downloaded to the phone was forgotten about.
I just now got emails saying my subscription has been cancelled - perhaps because 2 subscriptions may have been active?
