I copied my music files from my PC to the phone, but now when I try and play the music in Play Music, its somehow accessing the internet, changing my tags, album art etc which I've spent years perfecting on my own. BTW none of this stuff is in the cloud or purchased from Google, they're all "real" MP3 files.
Is there a way to stop the app from doing this, or are there alternate apps?

My real problem is apps trying to be online like facebook, tango and such.. my subscription plan is limited so I need to stop them and allow only one app per my needs..
I know about the great app called "Droidwall" it's fine and all but it doesn't provide a mutli-profile function thus I need to tick and un-tick the wanted apps every time I connect!!
I need an app that let's me choose apps which I want them connected to my mobile data and SAVE my configures under one name to a separate profile..
Is there any app like that?
I've tried hiding my custom tones that I've downloaded at various points in different places on my phone (T-Mobile Galaxy S4), inclding the external SD, but to no avail. For example, I added a high quality .mp3 clip of a old rotary phone ring to use as my ringtone, I put it straight into the ringtones system folder.
Very next time that I start up Google Music, there's new stuff from 'unknown artist," low and behold, the ringtone.
Super annoying, part of the reason I was paying for all access to use Google Music was to have a clean, auto-organized library. I don't want all of my sounds system-wide added to my library, and I can't seem to find any way to change the folders it searches, or even to remove it from the library within the app once it is added.
Any way to setup two different google accounts to stream music from the google music service minus using two different devices. Is it even possible.

In Chrome (Android), I made sure sync was enabled for my Google account and bookmarks is checked. However, when I open the bookmarks on Chrome (Android), nothing appears. If it's worth anything, these bookmarks were added in Firefox, but again these are Google Bookmarks, not saved locally in Firefox.

I recently brought a HTC Hero from Three (3) mobile on PAYG, unlocked it with no problems and got myself a sim only contract with T-Mobile.However I am trying to access the internet over the t-mobile network and it wont let me get anywhere, always bringing up the 'Web page is not availiable' screen. I have no issues running the internet over wi-fi and I am receiving calls and texts over the t-mobile network so I assume its not a sim issue (the contract includes data allowance btw). Also the sim that 3 mobile gave me with the phone accesses mobile internet perfectly.Does anyone on here have any suggestions as to what things I could try to rectify this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Legend and am loving it for the most part. But I have one big problem - apps are not accessing the internet when not on WiFi. I have Vodafone, and the EDGE connection (we don't have 3G in India yet) works in the Internet browser, but none of the apps (twitter, facebook, nytimes, kayak) work on EDGE. Is there something I need to change in permissions or settings? All these apps have full internet access in their permissions, so I don't get why they are not working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got a Hero, its really cool, but I'm worried about how much data this thing is going to eat up. I've got a 500MB limit, but I dont really know how long that will last. So heres a few questions
How do I know if the phone is accessing the internet through WiFi or not? Obviously WiFi doesnt count towards the limit, so I want to know that I'm using it as often as possible.
Do widgets on the home page count towards your data limit? I've got a weather widget, facebook, bbc news, email, all getting their info from the internet. Is this going to be raking up the MBs while the phone is just sat in my pocket?
Is there a number I can ring to see how much data I've used? I'm with Orange. A number to call to check my texts and minutes would be helpful, too.
In my application i have several activities and i want to start background music whenever my *Application* is launched and stop music whenever *Application* is paused or stopped.
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen I want to stream one particular song I noticed that the Google Play Music app downloads and caches the previous/next few songs for quicker access. How can I prevent this? It uses a lot of data and I usually only want to listen to the one song I chose to stream.
For example if I play a 6 mb song i noticed it uses about 40 mb to stream just that one song. Then I selected a different song to stream and immediately went into settings > download queue and noticed it was loading more songs than the one I requested. I only want to listen to the 1 song I chose, so how can I prevent the other songs from loading? As far as I can see there is no way in the app's settings but there has to be another way to stop this inconvenience.
P.S. I have a T999 galaxy s3 running on stock rooted ICS

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have an iPhone 4S and I am probably going to get a Galaxy Note 2 when it comes out for Verizon. In order to prepare for this, I set up Google Play Music to upload my music so it can be ready for me when I get my new phone (I like it better than Samsung's default music player). Only one problem: protected AAC files (or DRM) can't be transferred to Play Music. I tried converting my music with 2 different DRM converters, but they were free trials, and it only would convert 1:00 of each song and then stop. Is there any free way to convert each protected song completely, along with protected videos? Also, does music on Play Music eat up an Android device's space? I have over 12 GB of music and movies and I don't want to have barely any any space left on a 16 GB device if a 32 or 64 GB ever comes out, minus the SD card.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have music that is playable with Google Play Music player, but not with other players. I have chosen for the music to be "on the device", and it plays when even in Airplane Mode, so I know it is not streaming, but the music files do not show up in my "Music" directory tree, or under any other file trees that I can find. I have used ES File Explorer to do a top down search for some of the missing titles, but it doesn't find them. I'm perplexed. There must be a cache somewhere, but I can't find it.

I currently use PlayerPro from the market, and I wanted to use the Google cloud for "wirelessly syncing" my music.
I use doubletwist for listening to new music that is stored on my SD card. I use Google Music for streaming my favorite tracks that I have uploaded. The problem is Google Music automatically searches my SD card and displays all the music stored on my phone along with the artists/playlists/etc. that I have stored on the cloud, which makes it confusing when browsing the library. Can I prevent Google Music from searching and displaying what's on the SD card, but still allow doubletwist to see it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola S10 bluetooth headset for listening to music. It's really nice not having to deal with cords and having controls for play/pause and track forward/back right on the headset.
However recently the controls have stopped working when my screen is off. I can't pause my music or advance track. I hear the 'beep' in my headset indicating that a button has been pressed, but my phone isn't getting or ignoring the command.
To make matters more complicated, it isn't a consistent thing. Occasionally the controls will still work with the phone off. This has been happening for a couple of weeks now and I'm having a very hard time finding any regularity to when it will or won't work. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. I also can't seem to trace it to an specific program that I recently installed.
I'm setting up an old HTC Wildfire as a 'car stereo', I'm looking for a way to make the music player 'play' when it detects charging (ignition turned on) and then 'pause' when the charge connecton stops (car turned off). how I would achieve this?
View 1 Replies View Relatedjust trying out Google Play Music today. I'm confused though as I have around 10000 music files sitting in a folder on Google drive. I can't see an option to ask Google Play Music to look into Google Drive and upload the music from there.

Surely Google is able to connect two parts of its cloud together and I don't have to re upload everything?

I'm trying to figure out if the Google Play Music app tells Google what songs I'm listening to, or sends any other information to Google for that matter. If so, is there a way to turn that function off?
I know many people don't have an issue with letting Google know these kinds of things about them and that's fine. I'd just rather not. I didn't use Apple's genius recommendations on my iPhone either.
Okay so about a month ago I decided to try out google voice on my nexus s 4g. I had thought it was just a voicemail service, I didn't know it affected your calls and texts as well. I didn't like it so I signed off. But two weeks later my phone started doing that call screening thing where you have to press 1 every time you answer a call. I went back on google voice, signed back on, and found that it had intercepted all of my texts calls and voicemails and kept them without telling me. I just need to know if there's a way to stop it. I would uninstall it if I could.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to insert,update,delete events in google calendar using android. I tried using the protocol given at http://code.google.com /apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide_protoc but I was unable to go beyond authenticating the user. I was able to authenticate the user and I extracted the Auth code using:- temp1 = EntityUtils.toString (response. getEntity ()); if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()==200) auth = temp1. substring (temp1. indexOf ("Auth=")+5).trim (); After this I tried inserting an event which did not work. I was getting status code 200 in response and I am not sure even if I did get a proper response, how can I extract the cookie s and gsessionid for my next request. I tried creating a calendar instead and I received the same status code 200. I used the following code:- String messageBody="<entry xmlns= 'http://www. w3.org /2005/Atom'"+ " xmlns: gd='http:// schemas. google.com /g/2005'"+ " xmlns:gCal=' http://schemas.google.com /gCal/2005'>"+" <title type='text'>ABC Project Schedule</title>"+ " <summary type='text'>This calendar Type as otherwise I would get a ClientProtocol Exception (content- length was causing the exception, didn't put content-type since it is already mentioned in the entity not sure where it should be defined). I am sorry that I don't understand the basics correctly.
