google play music strange behaviour - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have been using google play music as my default player and i kinda like it. But recently it has been very strangely.
While playing music when i'm on the now playing screen, if i rotate my tab or lock it and then unlock it, the time of seek bar becomes --:--
and when i try to use the seek bar the song restarts, else the seek bar works normally.
I have a p3100 running cm 10.1 rc2 and simple cyanogen kernel....
And the problem also is in my phones google play music, which is still not updated to the new play music( one which came yesterday after the i/o) so i can guess this is not a rom related or device related problem( my phone is galaxy s running xylon custom rom 4.2.2)
I tried clearing the cache and data and even fix permissions from recovery, cuz play music is a system app, but i had no luck.
Now i'm out of ideas and any help is appreciated.
Thx
edit : solved to remove the apk using no bloat and reinstall from market then fix permissions
Mods please delete this thread... Thx

Req NEW Honeycomb Music Player

A new version has been ported and released on the Evo, with cloud sync working. Would love it on my Inc. running SR3.5
Do you have a link?
hey fellas,
i don't think the app is new. a user over in the Evo section noticed that after flashing the latest CM7 build and replacing the stock Music.apk with the Honeycomb music app already floating around his sych/cloud services started to work:

Here's a link to the Honeycomb Music apk:

I installed it and it worked for me and my music synced in the cloud!
wait, so its already working for our Inc's? Does it have lock screen controls? That was another thing missing from the first leaked version. Also does it improve the volume levels at all? I have to listen at full volume for some songs. Im dying for a new music player, stock one is so bland.
I am not sure about the lock screen controls but I was able to install the apk and it played all the music

Does the cloud sync work?
anyone know how to get ringtones, system sounds, (non music) to stop showing up in the music app? i would like to see only music
I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone quite yet, it has a lot of bugs I noticed after just a couple minutes:
1) No lock screen controls
2) Notification shows content://media/external/...blah blah instead of the song name
3) The pause/next feature present while browsing your library disappears once you hit next (it's possible this was intentional but I tend to believe it's always supposed to be there so you can keep skipping while browsing)
4) Pure music widget crashes when trying to launch app (may be related to #5, not sure).
5) Not sure why, but after I tapped the notification a few times, now I can't even use it. Every time I play a song, it skips to the next one and keeps skipping every second or two to the next song. A reboot did not resolve the issue. The album art displays "buffering" before it skips, so maybe it has something to do with cloud sync, which I didn't play around with, other than selecting my google account in the settings.

Pure music never worked with Gingerbread according to my experience.
One more problem/thing I overlooked: what about shuffle and repeat?
Thanx for the info Xidexl, thats all I needed to know. Guess ill stick with stock. Hopefully new SR will come with a new player.
Couldn't we just rip the final version off of the xoom then that would fix the issues we're having with bugs and I've also seen the one on the xoom and it seems to be a bit different

Play Music Issues

I am currently have two issues with Google Play Music, running JB 4.1.1. The issues are:
1. Lockscreen widget: When I press play/back/forward the widget closes and the music stops.
2. Widget: I press pause and the music stops.
Both of these are intermittent.
I have tried re-installing from Play store, using TB to uninstall/restore, but with no luck.
I am running stock 4.1.1 but have tried CNA 3.4.1, AOKP Release 1 all with the same issue.
Any advice on how to fix?
Thanks
use apollo music, better theme support. you're in australia so no music sync/buying for ya, so you don't lose anything if you switch to apollo like me.
I thought the widget has always done that? I'm pretty sure it has for me anyway
Have you tried to clear Data and Cache from Settings | Apps | "Google Play Music" and "Google Play Services"?
Clear data, Cache & Fixed permission on CWM?
Lastly...I would try to do a factory reset (if this has happened since you upgraded from ICS).
I have tried various install methods for 4.1.1 from flashing zips to fastboot flash, with no luck.
I have installed Apollo music player from CM10 and it is perfect!
Thanks!

[Q] Music playback doesn't work / player crashes

So i've got this Problem with two identical phones now. (International single SIM version)
In some roms (mostly Cyan based) with a version higher than 4.4.2 the phone fails to play music through all players or apps.
When you play a song the whole system begins to stutter extremely and the procces ends in either the app crashing or the phone freezing.
Any help or ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] CM12S' lockscreen audio visualizer

Does anyone have this working on any other player except Google Play Music?
I simply can't get it to work with GoneMAD or Poweramp, however Google Play Music and Apollo (CM's music player) manages to show it just fine. It worked on CM11S on both Poweramp and GoneMAD so it should probably work in CM12S too. I have obviously enabled the AudioFX equalizer in both GoneMAD and Poweramp and tried out different ways to approach it like disabling all other equalizers, trying to turn one thing off and enabling the other and AudioFX itself works and the album art is shown in the background, but the lockscreen visualizer does not show in these applications. Completely stock except root, so no modifications done.
Anyone have any tricks to get this working or can at least confirm this is a problem?
have it working on spotify

Really? Because I just tried Spotify and it doesn't do it there either. Now, I don't subscribe to the service so I dunno if that has anything to do with it, but it certainly does not show the visualizer at the lockscreen except the album art.
I also tried wiping the device, formatting system, data, cache, Dalvik and installing CM12 from scratch with only GoneMAD and Spotify installed and neither of them did it then either.
i dont have it working either with spotify - was previously on cm11s
I just tried with Poweramp, and it works just fine on my phone... But I don't have all the other music playing apps, just this one... Maybe they're interfering with one another?
I changed back to stock theme and it works. It wasn't on elixium theme

Did not work unfortunately.
I've tried everything at this point. I even wiped the entire device (even internal storage) and installed everything completely stock and it still doesn't work so this is extremely strange.
My apologies, it was working on cm11 but not 12. I kind of like it and would love to get it working on cm12 if anybody knows how

Same problem here. Loved the feature on cm11. I thought they took it away on cm12 and was extremely dissapointed. I was randomly playing a song on google play and I saw the visualizer.
I realized its poweramp that is the problem. I dont know how to fix it, tried reinstalling the app but no luckl.
I had this problem too but when i use my bluetooth headphone, the equalizer show up on the lockscreen. When i switch back to my wired headphone, the equalizer goes missing.
The same happens for me. I have the latest CM OTA update as of time of the post.
I have only ES Explorer Media Player, I disabled Google Music and AudioFX but not force closed the latter, enabled the option in Settings-->Lockscreen, but the visualization shows only when linked to loudspeaker with Bluetooth

Updated Stock Music App to Marshmallow - G900P

So after realizing that the Good Lock APK would run on any samsung phone on MM, I downloaded the APK of the newest Samsung Music app. Initially I just tried installing it as an update for the marshmallow/lollipop stock version of the Music App which caused weird UI bugs. The tracks tab was just a repeat of the playlist tab and there was no side scroll bar. However, after uninstalling the old stock music app with Titanium back up and than installing the new music app APK there are no more bugs and it is running fine.
Nice to know. I don't use the Samsung Music app but it nice to see someone experimenting with the MM apps seeing what "just works" without actually having to mod the apk or the system.
