Hi,
I have signed up to Goggle Music and all appears to be working well between my phone and the cloud, however, the playlists on my Xoom are present but report 0 songs. If I delete the playlist it deletes the playlist in the cloud. I am looking for a way to completely reset the music app so it has to go to the cloud and reload everything. Trying to avoid a reset to factory settings if I can.
Thanks
Settings->Manage Applications > Locate your Music app. Then Clear Data, Force stop (if it is running). You can uninstall the update, then go to market to re-install the update, and you can reload everything.
Try clearing data for the app with settings > applications > manage applications > music >clear data. You'll probably need to select your Google account again in the music app settings afterwards.

Don't clear the browser app's data, you'll lose your bookmarks.
I did this hoping to free up the 5MB of space it was using...ended up losing my bookmarks as they are stored in the browser's data directory.
Looking for a bookmark sync app now so this does not happen again.
Yep, I also found out about this the hard way
Thats good to know as a new N1 owner. I was thinking of doing that as well
Where do you clear the browser data?

When you are in the browser and you press the little menu icon at the bottom and go into settings.
I cleared it via settings->application->browser
Clearing out the cache doesn't erase your bookmarks. Clearing app data (through settings -> applications -> manage your applications) seems to, however.
My sync icon in the notification bar will not go away. Anyone know why? I'm not sure how to check if my google account is being synced correctly, I don't think it's syncing correctly.
Attached is a screen capture.
Lol you don't want that to go away
Restored system data with Titanium?
It's appears to be a bug in Titanium Backup.

Open "My Accounts" click your Google account and choose Syncing options.

Yep, until titanium finds a fix (if there even is one since it's not great to reload system data, especially from a different OS version), that's the way to go. Of course you then need to rebuild all of your system data (wifi, bt, ringtones, etc).
I'm having the same problem after using MyBackup Pro. I looked in my account sync settings and although the google account sync box is unchecked, the 3 items (contacts, calender etc) are all constantly syncing. It's killing my battery and i really don't want to do another factory reset as it's taken me ages to get my new replacement streak (lcd cracked on 1st one) to how i had the original even though I had backed everything up.
Got a sort-of fix. I did a new full data backup, did a factory reset & restored everything except contacts and calender, google syncs those anyway + that causes the conflict.

Not sure whats going on but it will not see any songs that I uploaded from my PC (2000 songs). There is no button to "sync" the device in either the Music app or in settings/account/gmail. I've installed the app 3 times with the same results. Is there a trick or something? Running GB 2.3.3
Silly question, but did you try a reboot? I have heard that has helped some.

Yes I have, many times
GOT IT!!!
Downloading the app from the market via the phone gave me the problem. I removed the app then from my laptop I pushed the install via the market website and then everything worked. very odd.
Odd indeed

I noticed I have to give it some time to sync after I install it. Also there IS a check box in android accounts settings to enable syncing.
Yup. Enable syncing. I use the power control widget so I only sync when I'm listening to my music.

I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app. To do so: Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Google music, then select clear data. Once that is finished go back into Google music and you should be able to pull up the menu and select settings. Then just select your gmail account again and it should start syncing almost immediately.

thats exactly what i have to do too. have to do it just about every time i install music beta.
Yea, I'm having issues too. Shouldn't Music come up in Account & Sync in settings? I don't seem to have it listed anymore.
Thanks. Clearing data fixed the problem.
Just for anyone else having a problem, an issue I ran into was everytime I flashed a new nightly for CM7, it counted as a new device being added to my account. Eventually I was maxed out on allowed devices (think it might be 8 but don't remember) and it wouldn't sync new songs for me anymore. I had to clear the devices from the music beta page itself to fix the problem.

That worked for me. I can sync again. Thank you!
I think the Google music app sucks. Thats right, it sucks.
I have tried deleting the app from my phone and my pc, then reloading.
What happens to me is when I reload everything, it syncs the same old songs. I have deleted them from everywhere, changed the folder, deleted the folder and created a new one.....same music.....that doesnt exist any more. When I select the folder to sync, it shows the correct number of songs for the new folder but then syncs a different number.....and music that doesnt even exist on my CPU anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Also, theres no way to delete or hide a song on my device. I know theres a menu choice to hide unavailable but that doesnt work either.
Severe FAIL on Google. BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I had this problem a lot. After installing Music from the Market place, go into App Management and "Clear Data". When you load Music again, it will have a settings menu now to select your account. Although, I think this issue was fixed on newer GB versions because I didn't have to do it when I fresh installed on .605.
Just another Android glitch
"I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app."
I just crossed over to Android and got the GS2. Figured I'd get one of the flagship devices. I figured Android must be good; it's so popular.
I've never used a phone with so many work-arounds, glitches... needed to download so many programs just for a loud & repeating calendar alarm... stores photos to 10 different folders.
Now I have to clear data for every sync I want to do w/ my clouded music? Why didn't I just get an iPhone? The bigger question is, how is it that Android has repeat customers? Maybe Android buyers are all first-time smartphone users and don't know any better. These types of bugs and glitches common to Android are not standard far on iPhone or even my older Nokia N-Series and BlackBerrys.

Hello,
Having some different issues with my Nexus S, I've decided to freshly reinstall everything. I've deleted all data from SD/USB card, did a factory reset of the phone, then moved the full 2.3.4 ROM. After a successful install, it came to my surprise that the custom wallpaper that I've used before the format was there ! Same goes for a couple of settings that were probably saved online and then restored.
How to completely delete these settings that are stored online and perform some real clean installation ?
Thanks in advance !

thats because after you log in to your google account, your settings, wallpaper, and bookmarks got restored. you probably checkmarked a setting that allows google to back your stuff up.
Of course that is obviously the explanation. But is there a way to delete these online-stored settings ?

after you factory reset, while going through the setup before you get to the homescreen, dont enable google backup/restore.
Yeah but in that case I would lose all my contacts, right ? (I got my SIM card weeks ago and there's not a single contact on it)
no my friend, sync services is not the same as backup settings.
You can set sync sevices (contacts, calendar, mail, music, etc) in "Account and Sync" menu and set backup data (wallpapers, settings, wi-fi passwords, etc) in "Pricacy" menu.
you can also import your contacts from the gmail page via the desktop browser. press contacts and all your contacts are there.
Wonderful. Thank you guys for your answers
You can't really delete the WLAN settings, apps you had installed, wallpaper settings etc once they are in the cloud, you can just choose to not have them applied or restored. Deleting your Google account would anonymize those settings after a period of 6(?) months.
This is insane!
I go to playstore to check updates. It says "Error checking updates". I repeat the process and get frustrated. I clear data on playstore and go to add my account again only it brings up the side menu and when I move that out of the way, it says "try again". I hit that button and the menu slides back out! And I repeat this process and get frustrated.
So I did all the cache clearing, data clearing stuff for play, play services. I have no download manager. And still this problem.
I did not and will not remove and try to add my google account again because then I might lose access to my contacts. In fact, I haven't even checked if they still sync. If they don't, I suppose I could do that.
Other than that, what can I do?
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Lol hello again sir
Go to www.gooogle.com/contacts
From any web browser, are your contacts in place?
Guessing you haven't but reboot your phone, cycle your WiFi and see if anything prompts you to sign in or sync.
Then go to settings/ accounts / Google and make sure it's allowed and syncing, check both sync and Google
Re-open Google play and see if it's working.
Oh and perhaps change WiFi to another or test on mobile data if you don't have a second signal to use.
=) Thanx for your help. I can get contacts in a browser. I rebooted a couple times, did wifi and mobile, and nothing. It syncs everything in the account as well. I just can't use play store. I cleared data and cache on playstore and services. And I can access play from a browser; so I didn't get banned or something. It's specific to this phone, it occurred sometime after the update to the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's related.

Only thing I can think of would be to wipe all play services, store then reinstall.
This has happened before?
First time.... What is the best way to restore this stuff on the stock ROM w/o factory reset?

So you can usually clear data on all Google services.
But if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and just wipe system, not the whole phone.
This will mean you have to set up your phone again but your storage will remain unaffected. So images, files, music won't be touched
