[Q] Google Music Keeps Flashing On and Off - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I open the app, I can't scroll through the list of artist or albums without every album cover flashing on and off. It's almost impossible to find a song now (I could go to a list of songs, but there are 14,000 of them to scoll through).
I've re-installed the app a couple of times and it works for a while, but then it flashes on and off again. Anyone had this problem and fixed it?

Atleast i am not alone... i posted this weeks ago.
I too have about 10k of music on Gmusic... it seems it is constantly loading up the album covers. flashing on and off.
The only fix i have which is not a fix is if i am really inpatient needing music right away i have to go to settings/app/ g music and clear data. but you still have to wait a few mins for everything to load back up
Or recently when i turn it on and if it is flashing ( i am assuming because i always turn off wifi ) it must have to reload everytning- I go to tune in radio and play a song and usually after one song i go back to gmusic and everything is loaded and flashing has stopped.
I have not heard of any permanent fixes. I have even tried to uninstall and reinstall gmusic--doesnt work.
Patience is my only work around right now.....

Sorry about that--I did a search earlier and came up empty.
Thanks for the "fixes." Does clearing all the data delete the music on my SD card? I've been reluctant to try it b/c it seems that it would. I'll try the Tune-in Radio fix.

no it wont wipe your sd. After you do it you will need to go back into gmusic setting and connect your gmail account to pull music from.

[Q] Problems with playing music, ringtones, etc.

I bought two Charges last week, one for me and one for the wife. Both of us have been having similar issues with music and/or ringtones randomly not playing on our phones. My wife has missed several calls because the ringtone that she downloaded from Zedge mysteriously stopped working, so the phone acted as if it were on silent mode. I noticed several instances where I can't listen to music on my phone due to a "Error playing the requested track" error within the Google Music app. At first, I thought my problem was due to the fact that I was trying to stream music that I've uploaded, but I was given the same error when I attempted to listen to music stored directly on the SD card.
Thinking that my problem was due to some weird issue with the Google Music app, I tried to play the music on my SD card from the built-in Music Player app and I was quickly prompted with an unsupported file type error. Rebooting both our phones seems to fix the problem, but I've had to do this at least two to three times on my phone, and once on my wife's. It seems that the problem always comes creeping back without warning.
Neither of our phones are rooted, and nothing else has been done to the phone that I can think of that would cause this issue.
In short, music/ringtones/etc. will randomly stop playing regardless of their source (SD card, downloaded, stream). Since the problem is on both of our phones, I'm guessing that this is a common issue on all Droid Charges.
Has anybody else experienced this issue? What are your recommendations on fixing it? Should I just take the phones back to Best Buy and get replacements?
=Edit=
Okay...something is definitely up. I just went to watch a video on the YouTube app, and saw no video. I tried other videos and got the same result. Sure enough, I tried to listen to some music and was given the above mentioned error. What the hell?
I would take them back to Best Buy. Ive never heard of this problem. And if youtube is not playing then there seems to be and underlying problem.
I was having this same problem every so often, typically after having the phone on for a few days without turning it off. I am rooted an running a custom ROM so I thought it might have something to do with that, but obviously that is not the case. I turn my phone off whenever I charge it at night and have not had the problem since doing that. Long story short, I would return the phone if you can, but just turning the phone off and then back on (not rebooting) has fixed the problem for me every time.
Try uninstalling the official twitter app if you have it, reboot, and try again. That usually solves that.

[Q] No Ringtones/Youtube Won't Play

Okay, this problem has been bugging me for a while. The ringtones that came with my SGS4G play when I select them, but my others (ringtones, mp3's, stuff created in RingDroid) will not play. This also affects music playback. I get an error that the file is corrupted.
Now the interesting part: if I reset my phone, I can play the sounds again, no problem. After a few days though, it starts happening again. As for the Youtube videos, they play fine, then after a couple of days they stop playing. If I reset the phone, they play again.
My phone is rooted.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Stock Froyo Build
I have CacheMate and Super Manager cleaning out my caches whenever they can.
I checked all possible sound stuff (Airplane Mode, no ringtones on silent, etc..) and still have the problem.
This problem started before I ever rooted my phone. Any help you guys could give would be appreciated. Thanks.
You said it is affecting music playback as well have you tried a different SD card? I had one go bad on me and I was having similar issues before it completely died. The Youtube videos however are playing from the internet right?

This is intriguing.... you can either:
1) Since your rooted, you can get CWM and install a custom rom. Might fix your problem since it's most likely a software problem i think.
2) Since your still stock and just rooted, and also it started before you were rooted, try sending it in to tmobile.
I suggest try #2 first and if they don't do anything about, try #1.

Thanks guys. I'll try something and post back.

Sony Music App Issues

Just wandering if anyone is having issues with the most recent music/Walkman app from Sony. Was listening to music and all of a sudden it would stop and then realised why cause it said can not play song. So went through my songs and realised there was a few duplicates. Why I dont know went to my folder under ext sd card and there is no duplicate in it. Then I noticed on few songs it wasnt even playing the song listed.
Anyone else have the problem or just me.
Tried all usual stuff cleared data. Uninstall updates then updated it again. Same problem
I never had that issue. Is your music on the external SD? If that's the case try to chek your SD Card using a PC, run a scandisk on it. If they're on the internal memory, maybe your media scanner glitched out? There should be a few apps on the play store that will reset the media scanner database, even though most times just rebooting the phone would fix those issues.

My phone just wiped itself...

Hello,
something bad and very strange happened: My OP6 just wiped itself. My last actions on the phone were:
Used Google Keep to prepare my trip to the supermarket
Turned on some music
Noticed that V4A was not active (happens sometimes) so I rebooted
Turned on music again, V4A activated
I arrived at the store and wanted to switch to Keep but noticed that my app switcher is not working (it said no recent apps)
I thought 'strange bug but whatever let's open Keep via the normal launcher icon'
and then BAAM it asked for my google account, and the app crashed
Since I have a very bad memory and relied on my created list, I rebooted my phone once again and suddenly (almost) everything was reset... my launcher, Whatsapp, PowerAmp, Youtube Music basically everything but my system settings and system apps (including Magisk Modules). WTF?!?!
I quickly checked my SD card via a file explorer... all my movies, downloads, mp3 music, Titanium Backups erased :crying:
Now, instead of enjoying my Friday evening, I am sitting here and trying to restore my phone, music and so on.
Luckily, I mostly use cloud backups except for my movies and music (and my most recent Titanium Backups..)
Has anything like that ever happened to you?
By the way, I have another user on this phone and apparently this account wasn't wiped.. very strange...
I use and root my phones since the Galaxy S1 and anything like this has never happened before... I regret that I don't have an external SD card now

Unfortunately you seem to be rooted/custom rommed. Post for the dev to see I guess but seems like a perfect storm screwed you up
Yeah I use the stock rom with root but without TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440
I will try to contact the dev, but it could have been any app with root rights so it will be even harder to determine the cause.
same thing happened to me stock 5.1.9, my storage just had about 20 directorys with random numbers and letters.
all gone, got into a boot loop and had to use the unbrick tool!
Do you have fsync disabled? this can corrupt your data..
Mine did something like this a couple of days ago - was working fine and when I turned on the screen it asked which launcher I want to use. All installed apps were gone and acted like a new phone (no text messages, phone history was blank, no contacts).
After a reboot it went back to normal....
I'm running 5.19 rooted with custom recover and stock kernel.

Galaxy A8 keeps skipping music on its own

At this point I may have to simply reflash back to the firmware I bought the phone with currently running Android 8.0.0 when playing music regardless of the app my phone skips through the songs may it be via AUX or bluetooth the issue seems to get worse when using bluetooth, the problem started when I first updated my phone and every update since the issue has only gotten worse.. no idea on how to fix, I cleared the cache, reset the phone.. did everything I could think of the issue persists, no idea on what to do at this point apart from reflashing any ideas would be welcomed

You can down grade only if you didn't flash new bootloader.

Gonna assume that the bootloader has been updated since all my updates since the phone was bought has been through the update section in settings... only other route I'm going to assume is either sell the phone or install custom rom
Most likely

i had a similar issue with google play music. it was skipping songs that it had added to an automatically created playlist that i had given a "thumbs up" to. I guess those songs werent available anymore, but the app didnt take those songs out of my playlist, it just skipped them when they were up next to play. No other issues with my A8 skipping songs tho, and all i use is google play music. No pandora-like streaming services. I make my own playlists from the stuff ive uploaded to the google play music cloud
