[Q] Music Playback issue S3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am having issues with Google Music playback. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1 and am unable to get Google Music working properly. It shows my playlist, and plays 2-4 songs, but then stops playing. The program will show the last screen it was on, with a pause button as if it was still playing. But it does not play the music, or respond to any button being pushed. I can still search through my playlist and even choose other songs, but they will not play, and it goes back to showing the last song it was playing. I have downloaded some music to the device and it seems to still play the music stored on the device. This has happened both on mobile data and wi-fi, though often more on data,

ive had the same issue, even after pinning music from the cloud to my phone. my workaround has been to close all recent apps and clear ram in task manager. it is frustrating though.

My phone does the same thing ever since the jelly bean update, I'm stock and not rooted. My fix is to use the task manager and force quit Google Music then relaunch it, like stated above. After that it seems to work properly for a few days. Sucks though because it always happens when I'm on my run during lunch and nothing kills momentum more than having to stop and do this!

Yeah, mine doesn't show up in recent apps on my task manager when it happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled Google music. Working so far.

So question, does this problem affect the stock rom as well or just custom roms. ?
This will be kind of a big problem for me since this is how I listen to all my music in my truck.

Well happened again today on my run and tonight at home on Wi-Fi, sick of this and all Google suggested was what we are trying what a bunch of crap. I'm trying something new, I uninstalled updates and returned it to the oem version and see how it goes. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Well 2 days on the oem version with no updates installed and no problems so far. Looks like this might be a temporary fix until Google figures out what's going on.

Do you mind sharing the apk?

Rebooting will also fix the problem.
Does this problem happen with other music players?
If not, what music player are working?

For me it seems to be just with Google play music

All music players should be working fine.

I ditched Google play when it was doing what you explained. I remember buying power amp 2 years ago. Downloaded it and works like a charm. Downloads the cover art for all my music. And the equalizer brings out the best sound from my oem s3 ear buds.

It might be easier for you both to just post which version of Google Music you have installed. If you're on two different versions then you can troubleshoot better.

Technically you already have two music players pre-installed which is the stock player and Google Play. People end up downloading other players as those have better sound with and without audio enhancements along with good headsets. I also at one point had a play back issue so I downloaded another player and had no playback issues.

Force close the Music app then open it again and it'll find your account. Same thing happened to me.
Got mine yesterday too. I signed in and uploaded my library. It just seems to suggest a bunch of music. Oddly enough it was some stuff that I had loved anf forgotten about. As for the phone app, if it doesn't show your music just reboot. The media scan starts up every reboot.

Any apps as GOOD as music junk?

Music Junk is frickin amazing, it litteraly found every song...old, new, doesn't matter what kind english and spanish....too bad the last couple of months it just has been plagued by too many errors. It only runs for about a wk at a time then doesn't work no more. I've tried several others and they don't even come close. Gtunes is one of them. Whats everyone using? If possable please add a download link.
Soundhound. Its in the market. Had it with my Sense 4 on my Droid Incredible 2 and it worked decent. Found majority of my music.. the only time it didn't get it was with a couple of my indie/punk bands that never went too far in the 90s/early 2000s
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Sound hound is great and includes lyric syncing to the song you listening too as well as download links.
Cole
free or do you have to pay for the song?
Music junk lets you download songs for free so I don't think soundhound is what he is looking for. I personally use groove shark and it also allows you to save the music on your device. You get a free trial with it but I heard you can keep clearing the app data for another trial

Music Junk is the bomb but I never can get it to work/ I have been using Tunee music lately. it seems like the server gets overloaded sometimes so you have to open up a couple of times before you get in to the system.
I honestly have 3 different Mp3 downloaders downloaded. If one doesnt have what I am looking for I try a different one.
Tunee music has been the closest thing to Music Junk that I can find.
What version are you guys using? I'm using 4.3 and don't have any problems.

Once you have Pandown running, start up Pandora, then refresh the list once it starts playing
You can preview songs before downloading them, since its not yet possible to get track info outside of Pandora.

One thing that may help is rebooting your device, starting pandora then the downloader and see if it picks it up from there. One other question is which version of Pandora do you have? I've tested this on Pandora versions 4.2, 4.1, and 1.6. This was also working on my Nexus 4 on 4.2.2.

On top of the new update which doesn't detect on device music, does anyone else have constant issues on any version with streaming skipping around and clutching up?

I had some issues for about 3 hours the other day with streaming music. It would skip and freeze. But, I haven't had any issues since.
Like 90% of the time my locally stored music just disappears from play music. Works fine on other players though.

It's been working the best it ever has on my end, apart from the build prop tweak. But that's not from Google music, that's Rom specific.

It stores the music in android/secure, so when flashing anew rom and wiping, it erases all of it. Made me mad the first time I did it because I had downloaded about 5 gb, and I re flashed anew rom a couple days later and it was all gone.

Thanks, but I was actually talking about my non-play music. Stuff I put on there myself. After clearing the app's data it all shows back up but after downloading any play music or adding more songs to the library and then rebooting, it disappears again. In the end I found it's best and easiest to just re-tag and move any downloaded play store music and use apollo or the htc music app.

Music skipping

Anybody have this issue? At first, I thought it was just a Google music issue where songs either stop half way through, or skip. But, it happens on most streaming apps such as slacker radio, fusion player... Anybody else? I wonder if it is a KitKat bug?

It is due to a regression in flac decoding on KitKat: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62562
