Google Play Music crashing - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having seemingly got rid of my alarm clock freezes and other weird stuff I still get problems with Play music on my note 3
It hangs with app not responding. I use all access and the crash occurs when browsing around albums etc, whilst playing a track.
The log report shows caused by:
"ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut"
I've looked at comments on the Play store and searched around, I can't find any recent threads on this issue.
Not sure if this is my note having issues again or is it common?
** my note has been factory reset recently with minimal apps installed **

Well I'm glad it's not just me, although sorry you have problems too. I'm amazed there are so few with this problem, that or they don't use xda. I was beginning to doubt whether people could be bothered to comment on my bug finds lol
Just wondering about your settings. Could be a crash caused by our specifics.
I use high quality streaming on 3g, internal memory for cache. Cache during playback selected. stream and cache via wifi only are unchecked.

Well , I use almost the same setting than you do , except "download via wifi" is checked.
I think it could be something with cover arts , do you download the albums that you have uploaded on Google servers?
I 've a couple of albums I've uploaded , and I like to see nice covers , maybe if you tag your MP3 with a cover "too big" , it could make a problem with that "java.langOutOfMemory error?
Really it is only an assumption , I don't know too much about programming and stuff like that...

I do have a few albums that I uploaded a while back. Some don't show a picture as it can't find any cover art. I'm going to delete all my uploaded stuff and see if that makes a difference. I have most of it on Dropbox or my sd anyway. I'll let you know.

Actually , I've deleted all my music cached on my phone , and just by browsing my collection online it crashes...
Also , I've found a micro SD card , so I've tried to insert it in the phone , and chose to cache the music on it.Guess what , crash
Must be a memory leak or something like that , since when I restar my phone , it works for a couple of minutes before it crashes.
I've sent like hundreds of crach logs to Google , emailed the support , and I see I'm not the only one to have the issue.
If Google doens't push an update of this application , I guess spotify will get my 10 euros/months.

Yeh I've sent loads of logs and tried to email support. I haven't even had a reply back.
It's not good having to pay for such a crap service. I notice they have made it harder to contact them now, took ages to navigate all the useless forms/topics to get to send an email. In the end I emailed them on an address I used over a year ago. Still not heard back. Going to try calling them on the nexus sales line and see if they can give me a contact.

I tried something , that could be totally wrong but it doesn't cost anything to try :
Go to Setting - Application manager - Running - Google Play Music.
Then you should see 2 services , and one named something like "Art download " or something like that.
I turned that service off , rebooted the phone and played 10 minutes only with the application without crach
It could be only a coincidence but who knows?
EDIT Don't even try , I just had another crash.....OK Google play good bye for good.

I'm sure you probably haven't but have you had problems with:
A: The stock alarm clock failing and crashing. Ok since my last factory reset.
B: Google maps crashing randomly
C: Blurry pictures with low-med light and black lines in video recording with wifi enabled.
D: Is your note a new build or one of the first released?
Just wondering if the first batch of note 3s have faults with memory etc.

I have none of the problems you describe , everything's ok except that Google Play app.
I've purshased my Note 3 the 10th of October last year , from a big french online store , I'm not sur if the phone is part of the first release or not , how can I check that?

Not sure if serial numbers mean anything as the nexus devices do, but what firmware did it come with ?

I'm sorry , I can't remember , there was a firmware update as soon as I unboxed it , and now I'm on stock XXUDMK2.
I'm just amazed this phone has 3 GO of Ram , and I only have 10% left.
I'm pretty sure this is because all that Samsung bloatware that eats all the Ram.
Are you on stock firmware? Maybe Cyanogenmod could do something for us ?

That is true.
Maybe this new kitkat firmware will solve the issue ?
I'm at work at the moment (well for lunch break) but if you have time and want to flash the new one, could you tell me if Play Music works ?
Thanks !

Mine crashes while Im doing extensive searching meaning. I find a song I like, and I go to "similar artists" at the bottom, and go to a new artist. I repeat this many times until the actual app freezes the phone, and force quits eventually.
Lame because I like to play random trivia with my gf so she expands her music horizons

Yeah this is what happens to me too, I Think this problem does'nt come our Gnote3, but from this application. If you search on Google we can see this problem is there since à good while, and the updates didn't fix it.

I've just flash the new kitkat firmware , unti now everything OK.
But usually it takes some time after a reboot before it crashes , so let's wait a bit....
EDIT OK one crach already , but this time it does not ask me to send a log , just "Google play music has stopped working".
Humm I think I'll stick with Spotify then , after all it is at least as good as Google Play.

Market search engine behaving very strange

Ok so for example, when I entered twitter, it didn't find the twitter app. Only till I entered "tweet". And it almost always shows the app Lookout security & Antivirus, as like the 5th search result. And some other apps, like Nimbuzz, Quickoffice Pro will almost always show up. This happened since I flashed my phone back to the T-Mobile (I had debranded) firmware and then upgraded to 2.3.5.
Maybe covered in here too:

Not sure if this is the same issue and apologies if I've missed another thread on this. I lost both books and movies from market a few days ago. Also searches only show a very small selection of apps but says there's thousands available. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

I think you guys accidentally set the app filtering to high. Remove the filter. Happened to me before.
Just uncheck all then apply and recheck all and apply.

Depends on the CSC code.
Everybody got the same following bug?
If some app page in market loads through 3G and you switching to WiFi while loading - it won't load until force restart market app.
I have got the same thing.. I cannot find anything properly. Its like the search engine is fubar.
When I search "stargate ", it says there are 107 results, yet only about 10 are in the list. I'm finding this problem with every search I do, yet my filter is set to show all apps. Maybe if someone who has cm7/miui could see it it happens to them, we could then deduce whether it is Samsung firmware to blame, or just an android market issue.
There is also another issue where in sometimes when u search an app with full name the market will keep on loading with the grey screen and does not go past it. However if part of the name is searched the results come instantly.

We can rule this out if no one is having as now I feel its because of network issue from my end.
Latest market update seems to have fixed most of the issues I posted earlier. Hopefully this version will be more stable.

Google Play 3.9.16 - FINALLY!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10...all-apps-list/
We can finally remove apps from the "All Apps" list on Google Play.. it also translates to the web portal!
Three years of junk cleared in 15 minutes! :good:
KKH
Was stilling annoying. I spent 20 minutes tapping away removing over 2 years of crap.. Was like a walk down memory lane. I felt old when I reached Open Home..
Guess it's too late to tell you that you can select multiple entries and delete them all at once, hm? ^^
Still didn't manage to reinstate a dedicated list for only apps you purchased, though I know Google has no intend of doing it.

Yeah I had to do the same thing. It was rather annoying. I am sure they will release another correcting that now that we all lost several minutes of our lives clearing them out. :laugh:
All that tapping made me felt a bit like an mmorpg player. Nice to see my first downloaded app was SuperSU.
I really like that we can remote apps from all apps.

Yeah, too bad you can't do the same operation on the Play Store website and it would sync back to the app. Also ridiculous that they made the list position to stick, when you're searching for apps, but not in the Installed apps section. When you list down and delete some apps, you get back to the top again lol. But it's a start.
Awsome man thanks for this . Was waiting for the remove apps feature for a while . I had 5 phones on the same google account and that list was gettin messy )

HIT THANKS PLEASE
I am so glad they added a way to remove apps. Like others, I have had multiple phones and had a bunch of old apps I dont use anymore. While first discovering the new option, I had learned that you could multi select and remove, so it didnt take too long. One more thing that would be great to add would be the ability to select multiple apps to install.

App Update sloooooww

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx
i hope im in the right section ^^
Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space
i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:
up... please
So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

I don't know if xda has been hacked or if it's something they have agreed to but over the last few weeks anytime I come to this site I get bombarded by ads full screen ones sometimes that force me to either download or go to another site including that dam mobogenie, I kept thinking it must be an app I've downloaded or some kind of malware but after a couple of full wipes including formatting my internal and external as soon as come back to this site it starts again I've tried other sites and the ads don't appear it only happens when I come here! I was wanting to know if this is happening to anyone else or if it's just me? I've also tried different roms but it has the same out come any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

hi ,
yes, i had similar experience, many months back, when i used the relevant free version.of app.
i also found this to happenned on a another very" popular" twitter app ( free ) i had. .
the pop up ad was full page and you could only close it by clicking on x,( in the ad top right corner of ad )
and appeared sometimes even if i had exited, the app.!!
i know it was these apps, as it happened on my then , Note 2 stock rom ( i now have Note 3 ) and Note 8.0 stock rom ,whenever i used the apps ..!!
i unticked "notifications in relevant app ////settings ..application manager ,but it did not help .!!
i uninstalled and it was gone !
i had sinced move on ,and now have the paid version of said apps !! No problems !!
i bought it because i wanted the premiun versions and not because i was " bullied " into it ..!!
i don't mind if app have " Ads "and it is placed discreetly !
but this" full blown ad tactic" ,is low down amateurish and childish !!
i will uninstall it if i was you.!
good luck

I have tapatalk and the xda app but hardly use them, maybe should start huh! I've been told to try chrome with adblock so I'm hoping that will fix it permanently! Thank you for all the suggestions I do really appreciate it.

SM G900H Crashing

Hi guys,
I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.
Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.
After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?
Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.
Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.
Help guys!
Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI

Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.
BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.
and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.
I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz
Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.

Hi Mate,
The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.
The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Reboot once and then use google play music app for your music. No issues whatsoever. I have in fact hidden the samsung music app.

Search for it in Google, it doesn't appear in the Play Store in search but the link does work.

Yeap, thanks, I just downloaded it and looks like it crashed but lets see what happens if I listen to music for 1+ hour- I will report back.
Interesting, same use case in a G900H:
If wouldn’t be a Samsung phone without the occasional crashes and sadly, the S5 is no stranger to this. Despite being on KitKat 4.4.2, the S5 will lag intermittently and at times crawl to a halt, forcing you to restart the phone. We noticed this couple of times when listening to music. The song would just pause itself and OS would simply stop responding.
