Google Play Music & Battery Drain

view story
linux-howto

http://forum.xda-developers.com – The other day I was browsing apps in Google Play Store and I noticed that Google Play Music wasn't marked as installed. I thought maybe it was an updated version, so I installed it. It downloaded and then sat there supposedly installing for hours. Eventually I rebooted my phone and that issue went away. Play Store still lists Play Music as uninstalled, Android OS is draining my battery (which normally lasted the whole day, now it lasts 5 hours), and and my phone is hot all the time. Any ideas as to what happened or how to solve these issues? Thanks in advance for the help. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Google Play Music & Battery Drain

Hi,

I'm fairly new with the S3, Google Play and Android in general. I purchased an album via the Play store and am using Google Play Music to play it. I have downloaded it to my device using the 'Keep on Device' option but am not able to find the files in the phone in the sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music folder.

Play Music was updated to 5.0 last week, and after some crashing problems resolved themselves, I noticed my battery was draining more quickly than normal. Sure enough, a look in Task Manager revealed Play Music running all on its own. A force stop does nothing; it comes right back again, sometimes using up to 30% (!) of the CPU.

Google Play 18 weeks 5 hours ago

When I first got my phone, I just used the software from Mototrola to sync my music on to my phone (I use Google Play for music). I've now found out how you can just download it straight from the Google Play website and on to your phone.

Google Play Magazines & Music 14 weeks 3 hours ago

Just spotted a couple of system app's on JB, LSD, that I don't remember coming across before...

Google Play Magazines 1.2.0

Google Play Music 4.4.811H.526848

Since I have never had a Titanium Backup of them they must be fairly recent... last 36-48 hours.

I noticed that Google Play Magazine was syncing in BetterBatteryStats.

Anyone else got these?

I have both Google Play music player and Amazon MP3 Player downloaded on my Spectrum. I know I put Amazon on there, but don't remember putting Google on there (not really relevent?). Anywho, I've only downloaded one album through Google Play, and about a thousand songs through Amazon.

Hi guys. I just received my HTC Droid DNA from the US. It has an unlocked bootloader and has been rooted with TWRP installed. Most of the Verizon bloatware has been removed too.

But after logging into my UK Google Play account I can only access the Apps category. Nothing else. No Music, Books, or Movies.

I updated the Google Play services but no luck.

Google recently showed off Android 4.2 and some of the cool features that go with it, including some pretty wild camera effects. One of the features they demoed was a Music Explorer that can be used to discover new artists and music in the Play Store. That feature has existed in the Play Store for a while, but Google’s taken it a step further and really improved the interface.

When my Vox got Play access in a recent update it got the Play Music App, I was surprised by this as the store says its incompatible with all my devices (assuming this is because I am not in the US)

I was clearing out some music from it today and it is giving me warnings that my music in it has been uploaded to google play and only the local copy will be removed.

is this just a generic messa

I'm seeing some pretty random battery behaviour.

The first is related to Google Play, I think this is a known issue with 4.2, but my phone gets really hot and the battery loses a % every minute or 2 in sleep and the culprit is Google Play. A force stop of Google Play usually resolves the issue, but it's happening at least once a day.

The second issue happened this morning.
