Google music not syncing with phone - Droid X General

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.

[Q] google music not syncing?

so i got my google music beta invite last night and i was all excited. i got all of my music (about 1,300 songs) to sync to google and i'm able to see all of my music and play it from the cloud on a pc via web browser.
i have the updated version of google music on my transformer and it opens up and i've connected it with the correct gmail account. the problem is that none of my sync'd music is showing up. i've hit refresh, i've messed with the settings and unchecked/checked things but i've got nothing except for the 4 albums that come on the transformer. what's the deal?
i know its the right gmail account, and i know the music is in the cloud and i can play it...just not from the transformer. any tips?
I was having the same problem, and this is what worked for me. Go into SETTINGS, click on ACCOUNTS AND SYNC. Under manage accounts, click on your google mail account, and click on SYNC MUSIC. After a few minutes, your music should show up. Another person had to downgrade their music app, and then update again. Hope one of these works for you!

Mine doesn't either. I just got the 3.1 update the other day and it won't let me install from the market because it thinks it is already up to date.
No music sync option under my account either. Anyone else have any ideas?
Your google account has to be approved for the beta before the sync option will show up in the account setttings.
Try installing it from the Market on your PC (market.android.com). I dont know if its a bug for everyone or just people runnning cyanogenmod, but it wouldnt sync or even give me the option to until I went to the pc front end and installed it. Hope this helps anyone reading this in the future.

[Q] Google Music Beta

Just got my GT10.1 this morning and my google music beta doesn't seem to sync up. Tried restart. Any ideas?
might have to sync it individually, if you click on the google account all your "sub" accounts should show and you can individually sync it. it happens to me also because i have my accounts to update manually not automatically.
How long does it take to receive an invitation for Google Music? I sent on earlier this week and it's still pending.

You will need to update the Music App in the Market to get the login credentials. If you've already done that (and you have uploaded Music to Google Music from your computer) then it should be syncing. If not, try going to "accounts & sync" and manually sync it.
For those wondering how long it takes to get the Beta invite -- it took me about 2-3 weeks; I had signed up the day it was announced.
I had to clear the application data to get it to work (as well as updating the app from the Market).
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Music -> Clear Data
Thanks for all the replies. FInally got it to work. even with update didn't work so i uninstalled and re-installed and finally worked. Probably would have worked if i updated and just cleared the data.

It worked earlier on the Xoom and before I sent my tab to get repaired (I guess they updated it, it was gone for 3 weeks.)
Doesn't work on my tab10.1 either, very annoying that there hasn't been any OTA update since release even to fix the browser issues which are as follows:
1. Browser bookmark sync doesn't work
2. Heavy websites causing screen redraw, impossible to scroll from top to bottom without redraw
3. All websites refuse to load and the last website which did load is displayed but in garbled form.
4. Flash causing slowdown and stuttering - try loading www.techradar.com and enable flash and then scroll up and down - it's terrible.
5. Holding down on a weblink doesn't bring up the sharing function to share to another app.

TouchWiz Browser sucks...regular HoneyComb browser worked flawlessly before I updated to TW. THe HC browser synced w chrome no problem. Need to get rid of my SGT10.1 and buy Prime or Acer 510.
I have had to wipe my chrome sync in the Google Dashboard twice since I got my tab in early December to fix the sync problem. Whether it's the tab's fault or your stored data's fault I don't know. After you get it set up again it can take 1 or 2 days for everything to trickle through though, so be patient.
I turned on "Encrypt all data" when using Chrome Sync, and since then my Galaxy Tab browser has failed to sync bookmarks.
I don't know if this is the issue, but it would make sense. Can you check your sync settings in Chrome?

Try to encrypt the password only, not all data.

Originally it was just passwords but I wanted everything encrypted. I was offering a suggestion of what might be causing the Tab to fail when syncing bookmarks, since it started failing for me after encrypting everything.
I think the only way to go back to encrypting only the passwords is to stop Chrome syncing, delete all synced data from the dashboard, and turn syncing back on. I could be wrong!
Okay, so this is what I did to get my Bookmarks working:
Go to Settings in your Chrome Browser.
Personal Stuff>Advanced
Uncheck Bookmarks
Change to "Encrypt passwords"
Click OK.
In the Personal Stuff Window, click Google Dashboard and login
Scroll down to Chrome Sync and click "Stop sync and delete data from Google"
Depending on how much you've got, it can take a while. Mine took about 7-10 minutes. Have a smoke or something.
When it's finished, go back to Chrome Settings>Personal Stuff>Advanced
Recheck Bookmarks, and double-check Encrypt Passwords is selected.
Done.
I did this the other day and I didn't lose any data. See below:
"Last sync: Apr 18, 2012 9:45 PM
Bookmarks: 204
Preferences: 22
Themes: 1
Autofill data: 3168
Autofill profiles: 5
Extensions: 9
Applications: 9
Omnibox data: 198
Open Tabs: 5
Search engines: 86
Passwords: 5
Note: Encrypted with password."
If your using the Android browser and it's still not working, look into "Chrome Marks". It's free and will one-way sync your bookmarks to your device. If you pay for it, it goes 2-way.
Can also try the Chrome Beta app. I've mess with it for a while, but they still have a lot to do just for stability...and it's been taking time away from checking out ICS.
Hope any or all of this helps out.
Edit: Forgot to mention you'll need to setup a new application-specific password to get Chrome Sync going again. I don't remember where though. gl
Dear SBGS FTW, thank you and your method worked my links are syncing again
Oh god this is annoying, my tab is almost perfect but those fukin bookmarks...
Can't get them to work no matter what, how come they have made it so difficult...
Plus, if I could just export from Chrome and then import to my tab, that would be enough.. but noooo.........

Had this problem a hundred thousand times before I enabled journaling. I forget exactly what I did. What I cleared exactly. But I think on mine I cleared cache of contacts in titanium. And then google services framework. Sorry I can't be more help but that's roughly how I fixed it. Don't worry to much, it's very annoying but it is fixable. And also when you do get it sorted flash journaling on zip. Fyi I found all the info I needed with a few google searches.

You basically have two options, you can Odin and start again or wipe everything 3x and re-flash the ROM. once it boots, you can power down, wipe everything 3x and restore a nandroid backup. Some people have had success wiping app data then booting to recovery and wiping cache and Dalvik. That works sometimes but the other two methods will eliminate the error. Make sure you are running journal on for stability

I reflashed and wiped the first few times that happened. After that I got away with clearing contacts and google service. So 3 options atleast in my experience.

Are you restoring data? It may be corrupted. Restore an older backup after all the wipes or best yet don't restore anything and download your apps fresh from the market and don't forget to enable journaling.

I had this problem span over to good nands that I knew for a fact were good backups (restored many times). The only way to fix it is use Odin, once this was done my nands were good again, free of FC's, go figure o_0 .
Same thing as the op....urban vendetta...ill try to odin/repartition to try to fix nand errors
Great advice guys, honestly I didn't feel like using Odin XD but I cleared eerything x3 and cleared cache w/ Titanium, and it worked! Then. Flashed a Journaling.zip so I think I'm good now. Thanks! I really didn't wan switch from this rom, it's been working really well for me.

i have this problem too, just started happening after switching launchers on E17. I ditched TW to use ADW and Gapps started force closing. I tried to clear data for gapps but the option is greyed out in the Manage Apps menu.
Oddly enough, i'm not in the mood for a reflash either.

One fix for the GAPPs FC on Epic.
I recently fixed a problem like this that had me pulling out my hair. I Odin'ed a new modem, reflashed SRF. I finally resorted to a stock ROM and still no joy. Phone would ring and not answer, calls had no volume, Google framework crashed repeatedly.
For some reason, I plugged in a set of earbuds and suddenly the sound worked and it quit crashing. Everything back to normal.
Why? I think there was grit and moisture stuck in the earphone jack. Plugging in the earphones dislodged it. Strange but true.
If you just clear data on google framework with titanium backup you should resolve the problem.

It happens if you pull battery while phone is on or when phone battery dies while phone performing some task.
1 Turn off the phone before battery dies
2 Dont pull battery while phone is on,unless theres no other choice
3 Have journaling on
If you follow these rules you will almost never get these fc's.

I am on SFR 1.2 with Genocide kernel.
---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------
I found a post on google.com's support. I believe I have the problem narrowed down to syncing Gmail contacts and syncing Facebook. I can't remove my Gmail account unless I wipe the phone and I don't want to have to do that.
I cleared FB data and re-synced and it gives a FC and then a sync error.
I should be okay with both of these items not syncing contacts, as I really only add contacts to my phone anyways. Here is the text from the post I found:
user dchoule01 from this link http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=23c329285968cd2e&hl=en
"Lowly and chrs are closest to understanding the problem. From everything I've seen this can happen on pretty much any model of phone, any carrier, and because of email, contacts, calendar. If you google this gapps force close you'll find every combination, but there's always one thing in common... a phone tries to sync some tidbit (an email, event, contact) and fails with this error. Everyone suggests backing up and deleting and restoring and copying and yada yada yada. Other solutions work for one person but not another because for me it was a bad calendar event and for you it was a bad contact. For me I'm syncing two external calendars to my phone and you're syncing three. For me I'm syncing X days of calendar and you're syncing Y Days. I deleted records server side and you did it on the phone. I cleared data and you didn't. It's endless. All these variables cause tons of confusion.
Bottom line is this...
Turn the sync off for all accounts on your phone (gmail account, facebook account, exchange account, whatever accounts you have.) Under each account there are individual services, like the gmail account syncs contacts, calendar, email, and picassa, while my exchange account syncs a second email and calendar. Turn off (uncheck) sync for each individual service.
Feel free to backup data from those apps if you want, can't hurt, but resyncing later should put it all back... unless you've created something solely on your phone like local calendar events or local contacts. When I create calendar events and contacts on my phone I always attach them to my server side gmail account so they're available both on the phone and on the internet (when adding a new contact on the phone I choose "save to google" and for calendar it's the calendar you choose - "my calendar" is the local one and your google email is the server side calendar.) If you have purely local stuff then you'll want to back that up because it'll be lost, it's not synced to anything server side.
Go into apps - manage - each app (gmail, calendar storage, etc) and clear data & cache. Depending on the app you may have to put account info back in later, like if you clear data in email you'll have to log back in the next time you open the app. Same with facebook. If you clear data for something like an exchange account you'll have to re-enter the account info because that's stored in the app's data storage along with cached emails. Just be ready after clearing data & cache that you may need to re-enter login info for that specific thing.
Now go back to accounts, pick one, drill down into its services, and turn on each service one by one by checking the green checkmark to turn sync back on. Let the wheel spin until it's done. Sometimes helps to be connected to wifi prior so syncs happen faster. As you turn on each sync and let it *completely* finish you will eventually run across one of them that causes the 1-3 buzz and gapps force close. For me it's always been calendar but other people have seen emails and contacts cause this. Another thread here ended with google support saying they had corrected the problem in gmail for people running 2.1 but I haven't seen them address 2.2 or calendar / contacts.
Okay, so all you've really done now is narrow down the problem to the offending app, and it could be one of several possibles, so I won't detail each individual fix for each app, but basically what you now do is compare records on you're phone to records on the server side. Maybe you do that by syncing contacts and see where it chokes, maybe you visually compare calendar events on the phone to the ones in google calendar. However you do it, you'll eventually find a record that's in one place and not the other, or it's in both places but some attribute doesn't match. You've found your perpetrator. That's the record that gapps is choking on. There may be more than one record choking, but I've only ever seen it happen to one at a time.
For that one app, once again, turn off sync, clear data & cache, and then before turning sync back on, delete that one record from the server side (it's already gone from the phone when you cleared data.)
When you turn sync back on it should re-sync all the happy records and that bad record will be gone, it's not server side and it's not on the phone, so it shouldn't choke on it anymore. You can then recreate that one record bad on the server side and it should push down to the phone just fine.
In a nutshell it appears that there is some problem with google's sync that creates a bad record, or a bad pointer to a record, and the phone can't sync to that one record, so it chokes each time it tries. Sometimes the bad record is on the phone and it can't push up, sometimes it's on the server and it can't pull down. To make things more confusing the sync function sleeps for a while after force closing, so it can appear to be fixed. And if you have juicedefender or something that kills data connection when the screen is off you might think you've fixed the problem, only to see it come back later when you're using your phone on some unrelated screen and sync wakes up in the background and retries that bad record. It makes it look like Memo or Browser is causing the gapps force close but that's only because you're viewing that app when sync wakes up in the background.
I've found this problem occurs most when I add, edit, or delete events, contacts, email from the phone. Creating records on the internet in google normally works fine. But in every case the fix always seems to be the same thing... isolate the offending app, normally calendar, gmail, or contacts, then isolate the offending record within that app, shut off syncing for that service, clear data on the phone, delete the record on the server, turn sync back on, everything is fine, re-create the bad record. I've had to do this three times now since Froyo was released on the Epic and the problem has been corrected with this method each time, at least until I get calendar happy and edit too many events on the phone at once instead of using google on the internet, then the problem comes back. But now that I realize what this is, I've figured out that if I see this problem come back I can just go delete the last few records (normally a cal event) that I've added / edited in the last day or so, clear data from the phone, and re-sync. That fix consistently works for me."
I don't wanna quote an delete that stuff XD. But I've read a lot that it can be due to syncing errors as well, but that wasn't the fix for me. =/ it may work for you though. When I say flash 'journaling on' I mean that there's a zip file called "journalingon.zip" floating around and flashing it often fixes these errors. =P also try fixing permissions in recovery (CWM). Surely one of these plus the instructions you've posted will fix the error.
I would upload the journalingon.zip for you to download.. but I dunno how! XD

Google Play Music All Access on MOTOACTV

Has anybody been able to get Google Play Music All Access running on the MOTOACTV? I've manually installed the latest .apk for Play Music, but when I got to Settings > Select Google Account, no accounts are listed.
Ideally, I'd like to connect to All Access while I'm on WiFi and select a few playlists for 'make available offline' so I can listen while outside running. I already do this with Spotify, but I'd like to be able to use Google.
Thanks.

Which Rom are you using? How'd you install it? Are you signed in to Google Play?
Glad you asked, ClearD. Why, I'm using the best ROM available: ClearDroid ACTV 1.1.9 T5. :good:
I installed Google Play Music by using the Play store on the device itself (and using the market search app included on the ROM).
The Google Play store shows it's associated with my account, and I have what I believe to be the latest version of Google Play Services.
Version info for each if it helps:
Play Store: 3.9.16
Google Play Services: 3.1.59
Play Music: 5.1.1106
When I open Play Music, it asks for me to select an account, but none are listed.
Thanks.
I wonder if an older version might work? I seem to remember someone using an older one a while back...

Hi all,
I have actually had Google Play music indeed work! The default DPI setting is too large to show your account listed, so I changed the build.prop to 90 and used a rotation control app to show more of the application. In the settings, chose account, you then can see a add new account and also a space where your account would be listed. After a little wild clicking in the area, you should be set up to go.
An alternative I first played with was during the initial setup of the motoactv on a new rom, side loading the play music apk and adding your existing Google account through the app before any others.
*an issue* what I've seen is that the first play of any library song works great, even over Bluetooth tethering of the phone. However, something is amiss with caching. the second time listening to the same song, the motoactv will say it plays but no sound will play. Deleting the cache will make the song work again? I've tried both installing on SD and internal with no difference...

Thanks, barczakmark, that worked for me! As for the multiple plays of the same song caching problem, I don't seem to be having that issue.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me add my Google Acct. I have Play Music loaded and when I go in settings to add my account I receive a message that: Server error. We are unable to connect to the server to add the account. Pleasetry again later from Settings.
Any ideas what may be blocking me?

Hello, didi you manage to get google music login working ?
I get the same "unable to connect to the server to add the account" error.
No, I never figured it out.
I never got it working and never got a reply on here that helped so I ended up reverting to the original set up.
Actually the original set up makes the device more functional for me. I use mine for exercising and running and having to navigate solely by that small touchscreen is near impossible.
