I have a Samsung S3 and for my dropbox 50Gb with it.
So as I'm in the UK and we don't have Google music, spotify costs, I thought can I not upload my own music MP3s to my dropbox and stream? I don't want to download them to my device, just stream?
I am on 3 in UK on the One Plan so have unlimited data so that's not a problem.
Does anyone do this? Do you just use the android dropbox app? I've noticed there is some dropbox player apps any good?
Any help can't believe didn't think of this before?
give a try to this one.. http://goo.gl/e3jhX
seems exactly what you are looking for
and let us know pls!
Didn't work ok on my S3. I just get a message flashing up "preparing music" all the time and have to force close it.
Also it puts a notification at the top permanently. I personally hate it when apps do this.
So next.....
Get google music, theres plenty of free VPN's out there to get into it.
All you have to do is use an american vpn, login to your google music account once.
Then thats it.
Switch back to UK or even use your phone and Google Music now works.
Edit: If you want a hand with this let me know. Always happy to help a fellow XDA'r out
Do as suggested and use a vpn. I did that when I was living in England and haven't had any problems. I'm now in Spain and continue to use it. Works like a charm!

Curious if anyone has a way to upload music from their phone directly to the Google Music cloud. I don't have a home internet connection as my data with Verizon is unlimited. Suggestions? Thoughts?

Unfortunately it is not possible at this time. I've have researched this before in the past and it has to be uploaded from a computer.
Do you have Google Music? If so, go steal someone's WiFi or go to a coffee shop/etc download the music manager and upload what you want. Otherwise tethering is your only option. Right now they don't offer the ability to do it from the phone.
I don't understand - where did the music on the phone come from? The implication of your post is that you tether your home computer(s) thru the phone because of the unlimited data. If the music is on your computer, the solution is obvious.
Actually no, that was never implied. The music on my phone has came from the various music download apps over the course of the last 3-4 years.

Is there an app or mod to allow Wifi downloads over 3g/4G? I want to get the amazon free app of the day but I'm nowhere near Wifi.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

Ummmm
Wat
Did you turn off wifi then try to download? Shouldn't need an app...
You mean the "wifi connection required" message in the amazon app store?
I don't know of a way to bypass that. You would probably need a hacked copy of the Amazon app store. I use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my wife's iPhone when she wants to download a 25MB app.
Or maybe its controlled by the app developer, the same title is free on the Play Store and is marked as wifi download only, and its only 26MB. I want to say I've downloaded bigger than that before on 3G.

Something like Cydia's app? I've been wondering the same.
yeah amazon app store is stupid and requires WIFI to download anything over 20mb's =(. I wish they didn't do this.
On Android market it only "recommends" WIFI but at least it doesn't enforce like amazon/iphone.
I'ved looked for solutions and have yet to find any =(. All in All, amazon appstore fails. Apps are so far out of date most of the time.
There was a 3D game pre-instslled on my Thrill. When you open it and go to play it you got a message that you need to download the rest of the game, about 400MB. They forced wifi as the only option, and the download would cancel (not pause, actually cancel and delete the partial amount you did get) if you turned off the screen. Just one of the many fails to throw at the Thrill.
It would be nice if the Amazon app store just gave you a warning, or an option to enable it. Like the notification options that just changed. It would also be cool if there was a widget you could use to trick the system into thinking your data connection was wifi.

Here is an older version of Google Music that is not tied to the Play Store, and works on the Fire HD without root. You of course need the Google login service working. It doesn't work the first time because it wants you to add an account and then complains the account already exists. But if you close the app then open it back up, you can choose the account that already exists.
My playlists popped right up and now I can enjoy all that music I bought!
I don't have much music yet on the N7 but it would be nice to have it available on the kfhd as well seeing that audio playback on the latter is very very good. And I also have a bluetooth headset as well when necessary to not bother surrounding folks.
Thanks for the tip!
I had to come up with a non-root method of playing the music because I spent a lot of time uploading CDs on my father's Google account for my mother to listen to on my father's Nexus 7. I am planning on giving her a Fire HD for Christmas, and of course I want her to be able to listen to all the music I uploaded for her!
I don't think Amazon and Google are doing anyone any good by not cooperating on Google Play. This is just insane. All the apps I bought on Google Play should be available on every device, not just the sanctioned devices.

Not sure how to do that. I don't have any tools for repackaging apks. I guess I could build it from source...

Hi
I have Google login services installed and it shows up in my installed apps, I have installed Google music from both here and from the 1mobile market app but neither version ask for my Google ID at any point so all I see is the one album that is on the device.
Any pointers gratefully received.
This is a new UK kindle fire, currently not rooted.
would appreciate any advice on this by those who've started to experiment.

You can easily disable all of the "T-Mobile" apps: T-Mobile My Account, T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile TV
I've also disabled TalkBack, Rescue, Polaris Office, News & Weather, Lookout Security,Kid Mode, Hangouts, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Magazines.
As far as the HTC applications, I haven't began to disable any of them yet...
Thanks for your post, I was able to disable some more apps

I don't see, "or uninstalled" anywhere here.
So whats wrong with Google Music?
Do semantics really matter? And does it really matter whether or not I said it in my original post or if I clarified in my next post that it was either disabled OR "uninstalled"? The point is these apps that I mentioned are no longer present blaring in my face whenever I access my phone.
What's wrong with Google Music? Nothing -- if you want to use it. Me, personally? Google Music is a subscription-based service and it is something that, to me, is not worth it's value monthly.

Hi
I've just upgraded to an S4 and want to have my S3 as a tab for the kids. They currently use it with Zoodles turned on which locks off purchasing and visiting the home page. This works Ok but I'm wondering if there are any other alternatives.
I would still like to use the phone myself sometimes but only via wifi. Ideally having separate logins for each user would be great but I'm not sure if it's possible. The kids play games, watch videos, listen to music. Apps are currently purchased on my Google account. The phone had international i9300 Samsung software and is unrooted.
Any ideas or recommendations?
Matt
