Hey all,
I am in Taiwan, and I got an update about Google Music beta last night.
Cause I had slept, so I did not test it yet.
I will report the states after trying it.
Hope this update can solve some issues in 3.1.
Sigh ... still hold the same issues ...
Wait for next update
It won't install for me. I can see the update but when I click to update it doesn't do anything.
I guessed it was because I'm not in the US and the Music Beta is for US only, but now I see you're in Taiwan and installed it fine.
So did you do anything special to get it to work?

I was having the same issue - could see the update but it just flashed "allowing access" then did nothing. But suddenly today it updated - I'm in UK

Thanks, I suppose I'll keep trying.
Anything new or interesting other than the cloud service stuff?
I'm in the UK, received a Music Beta invite on Monday, currently uploading music to Google. Working fine. Sideloaded Music which says its version 3.0 to my DHD as the TF was sent back and awaiting a new one.

I don't see anything about the cloud beta (I don't have an invite) - can't see anything new in in the app

Yeah, I just managed to run the update and nothing seems changed.
I was mistaken and the update has nothing to do with the Music Beta, I guess the big banner up top in the Market threw me off.
IM HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH MUSIC BETA AND MUSIC APP 3.01!! Is anyone else seeing the following?
I have the most updated music app on both my TF and Nexus S 4g and they both experience the same problem. When I am playing music from both online and offline music (shuffling all lets say) it will play a few songs fine and then it gets completely hung up and wont respond to any input. The app will not reset even if i kill the music app, when i go to reopen music it takes to a black screen with nothing on it. Its very weird and very annoying when a tab and phone cant do something as simple as playing a song. In order to fix it I have to turn the phone or tab off completely and then turn it on and it plays some songs then eventually gets hung up. Again, this is happening on my gingerbread 2.3.4 device and my honeycomb 3.1 device.
I can also see the update Music by Google Inc, but it does not install. It says V3.0.1 from 26th May 2011!
Any suggestions how to I get it updated?

At first, I had same problem as yours.
But after 3 hrs later, the Update is working for me.
I didn't know what happened but mostly is the market's issue ( I guess).
Any way, this update changed not thing.
And I still use PowerAMP to play music. But the UI is designed for 800x480.
So I wish the Music Beta can fix those issues quickly ...
Is there any relationship between the Music Beta updates from Marketplace, and the status of the Invite? I recieved the update yesterday, but my Invite is still being processed. Wondering if my TF is being preped for the activation....

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.
Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!
I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.
Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?
I have a non rooted, XOOM running 3.0.1 and everything seemed to be great but for some reason when I start the CNN app from an icon it starts up fine and then a second or two later either closes or force closes everytime without fail. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I've tried rebooting the XOOM as welll. Still happens and I can't figure out why - it may have been the 3.0.1 update.
I usually use the CNN widget to launch videos/stories and that still works fine without issue. But if I try launching it with the app icon it crashes.
Anybody with 3.0.1 not having this issue? I'm not sure what else to try at this point other than to accept it's a bug and move on for now.
I had an update waiting for me in the Market this morning for CNN. Try updating and see if its still happening.
LOL, will have to wait until I get home. Hopefully that will fix it. I have to say though, the CNN app on XOOM is very slick and a better implementation than the current iPad one (although similar).
i get a lot of force closes as well. the update fixed some issues, but i still cannot play video since the 3.01 update. anyone else have this issue of videos not playing in CNN app?

yes it is fixed by update
Fixed!
i had the exact same problem. I couldn't keep the app open and then when it did open it wouldn't play videos. I was able to fix the issue by going into the settings, then applications, then click on the CNN app and finally click clear data. You will get a warning click OK. Now open cnn it will say opening for the first time. It should work well now, this worked flwlessly for me.
Which cnn app? I see several and want the good one

For those of you that want to video chat with gmail, but don't want to wait for 2.3.4...
Vtok is in the market. It works pretty well on the Evo, but one of the weird things is: the application has a blank screen if none of your contacts (that can video chat) are logged in. You do not get a list of people that aren't logged in, and you don't get a list of people that are logged in but haven't updated to the latest google video chat.
I used it over 3g to test with my wife using her laptop, it worked well, pretty clear, but a slight delay. Check it out.
I tried this app. It's nice to see development but emphasis on the word beta at the moment.
Meh. Pretty cool. Wish I had more people to use this with though.
Does this thing use push notifications ? I refuse to use an IM app that doesn't. It's just unacceptable by today's standards.
I tried this over my home wifi, with my laptop and my EVO.
The image I saw on my laptop was good from what the phone was recording.
But my phone was receiving a horrible pixelated image from my laptop, which has a decent web camera.
Also my the image was upside down no matter which way I help my phone in portrait, but was fine in landscape.

Wow. that was quick, thanks!
... I must be doing something wrong. i am getting a "This item is not compatible with this device" error when i try to click on the install button from the android market on my computer. ...does this mean my phone is registering as w/ a carrier other than sprint?? is there anyway to correct my problem?
**EDIT: just noticed i have OS 2.3.3 but running market version 2.3.4 ...i wonder if this has anything to do with my compatibility issues?
So i just updated my phone to 4.0.a.2.368 and i noticed a lot of really nice changes. Since there aren't any official notes (or at least not ones i can find) i will be posting changes i noticed here along with personal opinion on some of them without a particular order...
xLOUD-The soundspeaker loudness is greatly increased and the sound is so much better.
Media Player-When you play a song the backround of the player changes to a color most noticable in the album art
-looks great
Infinity Button Upgraded-You can now search for artist on wikipedia,lyrics on google and karaoke videos on youtube.
-Finally the button is useful
Lock Animation-It is changed to an old-style tv turn off
-It looks great and kinda gives nostalgia
App Refresh on Reboot-Before i updated my phone every time i rebooted it I had to let it ''sit'' for 5 minutes so it loads all the apps from the sd card and if you opened the menu you would have to reboot it again...but now it shows an icon on every non-loaded app that quickly refreshes to give the real app
-yes yes yes my brother always said its the worst thing about this phone so now i can rub it in his face
Themes-Basically like wallpaper but changes the background of some apps like Messaging
Messaging-Now it opens up so much faster and has a different boot animation
Call handling-You can now manage what calls you receive and block
-I was always wondering why wasn't this already included,i mean all my older phones have it
Timescape-Doesn't freeze when you move the widget and scrolls a lot smoother,in addition Extension Manager has been added so you can get more content to Timescape from more sites and you can also see calls and messages.
Wireless Radio-It seems like its power is increased and you don't get disconnected from older routers altho i haven't been able to test this longer than 30 minutes.
Status switch Widget-The old 4x1 has been replaced with a new 3x2 one
-It looks ugly and it messed up my perfect widget arrangement
Weather widget-Pretty self explanatory
-Now i can delete space-consuming Weatherbug
Favorites and Recent Calls Widget-Also self explanatory
-Its huge but i guess it is useful and at least looks nice
Be sure to add stuff you notice and i will update more stuff tomorow
Be sure to say thanks...as you can see I'm a noob and a pioneer from my country
Already a thread about it. ;-)

Well it is sort of better but you don't get disconnected when the signal gets under 20% and i have noticed i can play zinga poker now where in the last update it would disconnect me from wifi as soon as i started playing,but now it runs great
I got the update via OTA today (Philippines) and I still have root. Rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20.
OTA for UK now also
preys this fix the ****ty wifi issues *finger crossed*
Bad news for me, the OTA udpate fails on the fourth dot.
Does this mean I deleted an app that it checks to see if you are on stadard build>? Do I have to go back to Uk Generic and root then ota?
thank in advance
Update is available to R800a users. I'm running Generic usa I think.

Try it one more time. But did you delete a stock app? I just froze all of mine and the update was fine.

My fails to update as well should I unroot first then update?
@nelly_boy & Xplay. If you have uninstalled anything from your phone after rooting. The ota update will fail.
As you have said nelly_boy you will have to reflash to 2.3.2 to get the stuff you deleted back then root then do the ota to get 4.0.a rooted.
@Xplay. You dont have to unroot to ota update. The whole point of updating using ota is to keep root.
How about the camera and video recording? Any improvement?

Droid Life just posted the new Google Music APK. There was a trick to installing it on the Transformer though. Not sure if this is something specific to Honeycomb, but I had to do a few things before the app would install successfully without erroring out.
1 - Open Titanium Backup > Backup/Restore > click on Music and make a backup (optional)
2 - As it's a system app, force uninstall Music from Titanium Backup
3 - reboot
4 - install the new Music APK
5 - as noted in the DL article, you may need to Clear Data on the new app before it will sync with your Google account.
Hope this helps someone, happy listening!
EDIT: it seems this apk is not 100% Honeycomb compatible as it force closes on the song screen. Make that backup!
I installed but I get force close everytime I click on an album, any idea why??

So far everyone with a tf or xoom that posted about it (myself included) has said the same thing.
Yeah, I spent about an hour trying different things looking for a fix. Reverted back to 3.0.1 for now, hope someone comes up with a fix soon! Artists/albums screens seem less buggy on the new APK.

I hate how bad the Artist/album screens are on my Transformer. I figured I was the only one. It like it keeps refreshing the list and I can't even get down the list.
A new Google Music apk (4.0.1) has reportedly been pulled from Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus which also means that it was built specifically for Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). The hints of ICS are all over it, but most noticeably from the color scheme which has turned cyan-blue. It also feels much more polished than previous builds.

So it appears that this version is not downward compatible with hc 3.2.1. Nothing you can do about that, except wait for ics to reside within the tf101.
For what its worth.....
I have just got it fully working on my sgs2.
Gonna give it a whirl on my tf now.

The new Music 4.0 fails to detect that you're using a tablet, the widget is the one used on the phone. I don't think its ready for use on the tablet yet.
Ive had a word with a guy i know......
Lets see what happens
And, im gonna have a look at that myself too. But i dont hold out much hope
