Root Google Music Beta

[VoidedSaint]

just for information for everyone using Google Music Beta

after 1 day of sitting in the All Things Root Section i will move this to tips and tricks


if you are a google beta music tester, and you have flashed multiple roms on your phone and when you try to stream music from google, and you get the you have authorized blah blah blah deauthorize an account to use this service.

Google music beta has a certain number of accounts that are associated with Google Music Beta
it allows only 8
once you have reached 8 you have to go to the website to deactivate a several accounts.

now for instance this is what i found was my issue

open google music on my phone, no file could be played because it said i had too many accounts linked to my google music, i instantly thought wtf! is google giving away information that allows others to connect to my music?
so i go on to google music beta, go under settings to see what is connected to it

Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX
Motorola DROIDX

all within 1 to 2 days apart from 1 another

i dont remember because this happened last night that i took care of it, but im going by sheer memory.

i deactivated each Motorola DROIDX account, and reopened google music back on my phone, sure enough i was able to listen to music again.

so in other words

if you flash a new rom, or wipe data/factory reset deactivate your google music on the dx through the web, or else it will continue to build up like mine has. However it may have just been an anomaly for me. But if you have flashed multiple roms and are on Google Music Beta, check to see what is connected to you.

again i will move this thread to tips in tricks after a day, i just figured some of you would want to know this nice little bit of information. Because apparently google music doesnt read esn or s/ns for phones they just recognize the phone and whenever google music is reinstalled, well you get the idea.

I think I've wiped/reactivated my account more than 8 times and I haven't had any issues with Google music. I'm going to go check my music account and delete some of them if that's the case.

as have i, 8 times should be the least since i have signed up for google music, but thats what it said for me

 

[bouchigo]

I only had 5 different instances, maybe because of the way I restored it with TiBu, I don't know. Anyway, I deleted all but two entries, my home PC and my DX

Thanks for the heads up

I have my PC and 3 "Moto DroidX"s linked as of now. Guess I don't flash as much as I should. lol

im just glad that i wasnt the only one with this issue, so it must be something i would guess we need to contact google about, and put that in on feedback.

Cos Im not a guide that's why. Lol.

Yeah it seems like its happened to others I know as well. I just did some troubleshooting awhile ago and was like ok wow that's what causes it.

Yeah contacting Google would be a good idea fo sho.

 

[VoidedSaint]

im sure 1 person will not be able to make the change in that, we may all need to contact them so they know the deal is not just relevant to one person or one group.... course we do root, and sbf back to stock.... maybe thats what causes the issue???

 

[bouchigo]

It's not that big of a deal, you can easily fix it yourself by removing the extra accounts.

But if they aren't computer savy, they usually won't hit this issue since they aren't the ones flashing all those roms. Usually...

being computer savy and playing with your android phone is different, some people may have to wipe data and cache a few times on their phones because of errors, it happens, when my DX vibrate quit working, i simply took it back to verizon, they factory reset it, the vibrate worked for 1 day, then it died again so i said forget that mess and just left it alone, so that kinda thing can happen.

or

if they want their friends to listen to their music so they log onto their friends pc and use google music under their gmail id... same concept..
