[Q] Missing "Automatic Restore" option - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to install Google Music but since I am in Portugal I could not download the app from the market. Therefore I read every single post from the following thread to solve the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072655&page=27
After installing a google music .apk file (which did not sync with my google account) I found that the solution relied on using market enabler to fake my market ID and download google music app, which I did after uninstalling the previous google music app. The "options" menu in the google music apk did not appear as well.
From the thread I mentioned above (by PieP), I understood that I should also disable "Automatic Restore" from the settings/privacy menu. The problem arises here because this option is missing in my android and I am not able disable it.
I have a LG-P500 Android 2.2. I have been searching in the forums and I could not find a thread regarding this issue.
Does anyone know how to disable "Automatic Restore" of applications? Make it appear in my settings menu for me to disable it? Is there any other way for me to fix my Google Music app (make it sync with my google account)?
Thank you for your help!!!

In fact I don't know if the problem is due to the "Automatic Restore" thing, but everytime I install Google Music App it has not the "options" menu for me to associate my google account...
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? This is haunting me for 1 month =( Please help!!!

[Q] Updating Google Music App

Got my GT today and I am trying to sync it with my Google Music library. The Music app it ships with has no "Settings" menu and no mention of "Google Music Beta".
So I'm assuming that there is an update available. Thing is, I'm not in the US so I think this is stopping me from finding Google Music in the Market.
On my phone, market enabler - job done. How do I do the same on honeycomb? Or have I missing something.
Thanks
Try this:
Settings->Application->music->clear data
Reopen Google Music.
So long as you have the beta invite you should be good.
Just tried that and it's sill the same. On the top right menu button in Music all I have is "Hide Now playing Bar", "Shuffle All" and "Help" no settings option.
For the record I am running music version 3.0.
Should I not have to authorize Music with my Google account first? This is how I done it on my phone. /confused
What worked for me was the following:
1. Go to Settings | Privacy and uncheck "Automatic restore"
2. Uninstall Music (or uninstall updates if that is the only option given).
3. Reboot.
4. Reinstall Music from the Market.
hmm, check your google account in Accounts & Sync to see if there's a google music option.
Also, and this is a long shot, any chance you already have 8 devices hooked up to google music?
I'm on v3.0.1.339 not sure if that makes a difference though

You don't get the Music sync to appear in Accounts until you associate the Music app with your account. And you can't do that until you have the correct version of Music installed.
Just got an apk for Music 3.0.1.339 and that seems to have done the trick. Shame I can't just update it from the market using market enabler or similar.

[Q] Music beta and app settings

OK I've searched and nothing is working for me. I just got my music beta account and the app market is only giving me the option to open not update. I still can't get music app on my tab to allow me to see settings. Settings >accounts won't give me options to add music account either. What am I doing wrong? I've already tried deleting data and rebooting. Tab won't let me uninstall either...
What you need to do is download the app apk and then install it on the tab. Make sure you have ticked "unknown sources" under applications. Then use the browser on the tab to google "google music apk" or go to a link like this http://www.techofweb.com/google/downloading-music-app.html and download it.
Once it is installed you should be able to select your account and it will all work as it should.
I am in UK and had to use a proxy to get google music invite at all, and to confirm the invite, but it was worth the hassle. Once you have the invite you can upload and download from anywhere in the world.

Google Music Beta missing settings

So I got my Galaxy S II yesterday and I installed Google Music Beta, I have tried for the past 24 hours with the app to get the settings to show up, but it won't let me access it. I press menu and all I get is Shuffle and Search. I'm unable to access any of the music that I have uploaded. Anyone else stock and having this issue? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, deleted but I haven't wiped out the device because I can't see that resolving the issue.
Sorry I'm not sure how to help you but I will say its working just fine for me, I think I might have had a lag initially getting my google account to link to it but I'm not sure

Once Google Music is installed and you've opened it and selected your Google account to link to it, you have to go to Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > select your Google account > checkmark Sync Music. Then wait for the sync to fininsh.

Please help DELETE INSTANT UPLOAD FOLDER ON PHONE?

Hi guys, i've been trying to do this for hours...i have read many many many posts. I have turned off all sync option to google plus and picasa...i am not uploading anything to google plus or picassa. On my google plus account i have deleted ALL my albums and photos...same on picassa. But for the love of god i can not delete them from my phone. I have cleared the cache, tried rebooting and NOTHING has helped. PLEASE HELP. I need them off of my phone.
Your settings in the Google + are probabily on auto sync, or some settings there. If nothing help, than uninstall Google + . If your Google + is system apk, than you can uninstall with some debloater or best with Titanium Backup apk.

but i don't have any pictures in my google plus account..yes it's apk. I can't delete it. i'm not rooted.
I called Sprint and spoke to a tech. What you need to do is go to your Gmail on the web browser in desktop mode. Click on the tab that says "more", then click on the tab that says "drive." Make sure you're still in desktop mode on the "Welcome to Google Drive" screen. On that screen you're going to want to select the "more" tab again and a drop down selection box appears and you want to select the "photos" option. Once in there, you should be able to delete single photos or entire albums from instant upload. Once deleted here, they no longer appear on your device. I just did it, and t worked like a charm.*Good luck!

Did I just damage "Device Health Services"?

Hello!
I was debloating my newly arrived LG G8 with ADB, and all is fine.
Only thing, I have noticed that "Device Health Services" is not to be found among the apps in the App Drawer, and very strangely when I search it in Google Play I can't find it.
I was able to find a thread in another forum which had a link to the App in Google Play, and with that link I could find the app and see that there is no "open" option. Only "uninstall".
So I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and just for one second after the reinstall I saw the "open" button there in Google Play, but then again only Uninstall.
When I go in Settings and then in Apps, Device Health Services is not disabled.
Did I disable some service which was connected to this one, and that's why the app is not accessible?
Or is it meant to be like this?
In the Settings I seem to have all what I need to manage the battery, but at the bottom it says "battery usage data not available".
Any idea?
