It refuses to install on mine. Could someone upload the apk?
As far as I can tell, if you don't have a Google Music cloud account, the app doesn't behave any differently than the stock android music app.

I've also tested GingerBlur 3.1 with a Market install of Music 3.0 Beta as well as copying with root explorer . It installs, but the Settings menu vanishes. I'd be interested to hear from someone that has Music Beta on Atrix AND has the settings menu within the Music application. This menu can be seen on Music 3.0 included with GingerBlur 3.1. One thing we know bout Music 3.0 is that it breaks the car dock based music track navigation feature. I'm reverting to the previous version for the time being, until we have another something to play with,
I just got my invite!
Had to get on my laptop to accept the new Music terms and conditions
Prompted to download "google music manager".exe
Asked if Id like to add free music from various genres - i did
Asked where i keep my music? Itunes, Win media, folder
Pointed it to my music folder
Found 10,000+ songs
Uploads just happen in the background afaik
Now the atrix!
Opened Google Music app, scrolled around. Nothing.
Phone settings>accounts>Google> no Music checkbox to tick
Back to Google Music app
[popup] you have been selected for Google Music Beta!
Allowed my Google account
I can see cloud music mixed in with the music on my phone
Sounds good.
No stutters.
The settings menu is now available in the gMusic app:
Cache music, hide unavailable, download via wifi, etc
Back to phone settings, accounts, google
Music now appears with a checkbox for sync
This was my first hand experience with Google Music beta, just thought Id share. i already use Amazon Cloud and bought 100gb and I am very happy with it. I will not be buying cloud from Google this year, Amazon beat them to it. Im still interested to see what features are added to both services over the next 11 months, then comes the hard decision. Of course if its true that Google is deleting pirated music, that makes up my mind. Ill know soon enough I guess.

Useful feedback, thanks for sharing! Can you confirm that with music 3.0: in landscape, there is no pull down notifications menu at the top of the screen; and if you have the Moto Atrix Car Dock, the large music thumb button does not work. I mention this as the later is the main reason why I backreved to music 2.0 player. Thanks.

Tip: You don't have to upload all of them at once. You can upload it, shut down computer, turn it back on later and it will resume.

Ensure that you have music 3.0 from the market installed. You may need to resart your phone. Then launch the music app and go to settings. From there you need to select "Google Account" and the choose the specific named account that you want to add music sync. That should do it.
Amaze music player will not play full mp3?
OK all; I’ve had this issue with both of my phones (one went swimming). It didn’t bother me so much before as I had not yet did the full merge for phone only use of music. NOW that I am using my cell as mp3 player like I should, this bugs the **** out of me!!! ***ANY help or knowledge on this matter will save me from doing another destructive test! *****
What happens is when I play any mp3 file that is longer than a normal or standard track it switches to the next track without finishing the current one. Such as a 1.5 hr continuous mix, around ten minutes in it switches to the next mp3 file (whether it’s a downloaded noise for ring tone, or the beginning of another track). Sucks with earbuds in on a quiet track and then BAM-a loud track –or vice versa –totally makes me wanna throw this $500 cell!!
I have tried using the google player, the other music player, switching from cell hard drive to removable card—does not make any difference. It will play single normal tracks of course but they are not as long and does not have the time to skip ahead.
One of the main reasons I am using the phone is for the ability to skip through long tracks/mixes. I don’t know if it is an amaze issue, android issue, sd card format issue, music placement on card issue or what. I have tried many things and am willing to do whatever it takes if someone knows a fix. A diff music program/root? I have a stock cell now.
It will happen when I am using headphones or plugged into car audio .
I sure hope someone has come across this ! Thanks in advance for any response!
Anyone? I mean, have any of you tried to play an eBook mp3? Maybe a school lecture? A long DJ mix? ----and have it play all the way through? Like past 10 minutes?
Maybe you have shake to shuffle enabled.. otherwise my long EDC mixes play just fine I think
Just for you I played a 1hr+ MP3 on a 32Gb class 10 card,
27 mins in, playing fine. Try copying your tracks to your internal memory or re-converting them from CD?

Thank you sooooooo much for a reply! And EDC type muze is exactly what I am talking about! I tried it again w/ a long mix and at 10 min 26 sec every time BAM-skips to nxt track or sound. I have headphones plugged in and cell is still on desk (no movement) so no shaky. Where do you have your files? on an sd card or phone memory? Are they listed in folders? Any details will help !!!! If yours is working then mine should!!! aaaaaaarrrgh!

The tracks that i am referring to are actually not on a disc but only a file so cannot re-convert. They play as they shld everywhere but on cell. I dont know if there is a time out feature/limit? But i have not found one. I have taken them out of folders and put just on the drive main page to see if there is a change ( at s/o request) but there is no diff. Where do you store you mp3 files and how if I may ask? THANKS AGAIN for your time!!!!! This is so frustrating to me for an otherwise very pleasant phone!

Ohhhhhhhhh laaaaaaaaaawd
OHHHHHHHHH MY LAAAAAAAAAAWD HAVE MERCY ON ME !!! I couldn't, nay.......shouldn't just simply bow out of my thread with my tail b/t my legs--without an explanation. It was some sort of corrupted mp3 files! 3 of them. All from the same source. They played fine everywhere but the Amaze. I played others that were from a diff source and they will play through no problem. So I went back to the files and monitored as well as listen closely and there is a slight hiccup at the 10:26 time, which in effect would trigger something in the Amaze with 3 diff music players, to skip forward. But does not affect playing on a PC or CD.
It was fueled by the emotion I had towards these mixes and I HAD to have them and hear them!! I should have tried others more effectively.
Thank you two for your help, even though it was me at fault on this end.
On a positive note this has inspired me to go ahead and root my Amaze. This will be my first root. There are some awesome ROMS out there, now...I just have to pick one.
Thanks again for your time and response's, all is well with the Amaze.
Try this:
On your Lumia 920, hit the "Music & Video" live tile to start the Music/Video app. You should see at the bottom of the screen a PLAY button, on the actual bottom menu strip. Press that. Your phone, if it's like mine, will freeze up and you won't be able to do anything with it.
I have about 4,000 tunes on my phone. I get the impression that this button, which seems to be a "play all my music randomly", takes a while to sift through your music collection and create such an enormous randomized play list. In the meantime, you can't use your phone. This could be anywhere from seconds to several minutes.
I first noticed this when connecting my Bluetooth headset to the phone - if no music was cued up, it would do this "play all my music randomly" automatically, but at first I didn't realize that's what it was doing - all I knew was my phone had frozen up, so I did a soft reset.
Have a go and see if your phone does it too. If so, it's quite a big bug - let's hope the Portico update cures it!
If you've already played a song, it just starts playing that song again... unless there's a play arrow somewhere else I'm missing...
Perhaps if you select one song and play it, once, this will not happen to you?

No it doesn't. Not on my phone anyway. It specifically starts playing all your songs in random order. I think you are not using the right PLAY button. It's the one right at the bottom when you first start up the Music & Video app.

I wanted to start a discussion here where developers can possibly provide insight into this known issue on some devices and Android versions. There is a google product discussion over here https://productforums.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!msg/mobile/8IapTtKsUsI/393hsmGnbh4J
Basically the music app downloads pinned tracks extremely slow despite fast internet connections. It can take more than an hour to download a 10 track album. I've noticed this when streaming music too, the buffer does not load quickly at all, barely keeping ahead of the playback. I'm running a custom 4.2.2 ROM on an evo 3d and I know that on an ICS ROM in the past I did not have this problem. From the linked discussion above it seems everyone is running JB who has this issue. I've contacted Google support but they have no idea what's going on and suggesting I don't understand how to pin music.
My current theory is it has something to do with the encryption of the music that the google music app does in order for your All Access music to not be transferrable off the device. Possibly with the new way JB organizes SD cards, this has created a rate limiting issue considering the app was originally programmed for ICS when it was birthed.
I can provide logcat if anyone is interested.
I just started my All Access trial and am shocked at how pokey downloads are compared to Spotify. I'm trying to pin perhaps 40 songs from three albums and after a half hour it's only 25 percent done! What are they saving, WAVs?
Seems like certain files (unfortunately seems to be all newer music) download slow whereas other files go fast. Slow songs are all mp3 but all show encoded_library/string=LAME3.98

yes it could be... but... dont care anymore... stopped using play music cloud after one day... will go back to local mp3 and will subscribe to spotify for the rest
With further investigation, I'm seeing two absolute deal-breaker problems with Play Music All-Access which are inclining me to ditch it:
1. The download speeds are catastrophically slow. When I first set up All Access last week, I added a few albums (about 40 songs) and tacked them to my device. I go to leave about 40 minutes later and was stunned to see it was only a third of the way done downloading. Huh? Spotify downloads like a rocket on my 25 Mbps connection. Later I tried simultaneously downloading the new Daft Punk album on my girlfriend's pokey DSL on Play and Spotify - it finished in about 8 minutes on Spotify, 35 mins on Play.
What prompted me to search for the problem was being back at home and it taking a full hour to download Wings Over America. After it finished on Play, I downloaded it from Spotify and it took TWO MINUTES! 30 times faster! 28 tracks shouldn't require an hour's advance notice. Does Google think its customers won't be in the mood to listen to something on the go? Streaming, you say? I had a song freeze, restart, and refreeze at the same point several times while streaming in a major suburban area with good coverage. Yeah, that doesn't work.
2. My phone was fully charged when I unplugged it to use as an alarm while I napped while Wings was downloading. I wake up and it's down to 90%! Huh? I use GSam Battery Monitor to look for the power sucks and the top culprit is System (*wakelock*) responsible for 19% of overall use with AudioOut_2 holding it awake for 1h 32m, almost the whole time it's been unplugged! Nothing was playing; it was just downloading. Play Music was #2 with 16% used, but no ridiculous wakelocks.
It doesn't matter if All Access is a couple bucks cheaper and has more music than Spotify if it's unusably slow to download and a battery killer.
Nexus 4, rooted, faux123 kernel
It appears that the app update for May 30, 2013 has resolved the problem. After updating, I downloaded a pair of albums - one new and one from 2000 to rule out encoding questions - and they both were down in less than 5 minutes. That's more like it.:good:
Has someone with a Mate 10 tried to run Android Auto? I'm still rocking a Mate 8, still a very good phone but with one major annoyance : not working with Android Auto. Very eager to find out if this issue has been resolved.

Actually..... was fine yesterday but I have had a few weird issues today (have only had the device 72hrs)
- Lost music playback during a drive this morning.. can still hear nav instructions and phone calls etc, just silence during what appears to be playing music.
- The map screen has shrunk.. its like a totally different dpi to the other screens and appears fairly high res. Good because of the extra screen estate, but is now difficult to read text.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and will reset the head-unit and reinstall AA if it continues.
There is also a fair bit of complaints going on at the google product forums so maybe Oreo still needs some bugs worked out ?

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately
Very strange indeed...hope these bugs get ironed out soon. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to have AA working on my head unit so I guess I'll just wait until this works like it should.

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.
Another small fyi for those experiencing issues, after a whole bunch of testing it appears the 'Smart Display" resolution setting is casusing the Nav Maps screen to be distorted, and the On-Call Phone screen to be hidden.
Locking resolution to HD / 720 will allow Maps and Phone screens to function as expected.
Still haven't figured out the GPM no-audio bug even after yesterdays playstore update.
I'm having issues on my mate 8 NXT-AL10.
Navigating - Works on fresh install of Android Auto, but then with Waze installed, next time I get in the car and go to navigation the system freezes, goes black, and then returns to the home screen. This has gone on far too long, and this is also my 2nd and last Huawei phone. Unimpressed.
Music/Audio - Every app I go on within android auto (on my head unit) is giving the "Google play music doesn't seem to be working right now" or insert other app name. It's mightily frustrating.
I've found workarounds for both but they're by no means fullproof.
1) Using Nova Launcher seems to keep Waze working for longer without having to reinstall the android auto app.
2) Apparently clearing the cache of your apps can help solve the audio issues, as well as restarting Bluetooth.
Google/Huawei really need to get their act together on this. It's really frustrating to spend so much money on a phone and a new car only to find out the systems you bought them for don't work.

Oh, and also, when typing - for inserting a destination into a navigation app on Huawei, I've found there's no space-bar.
The only workaround so far I've found is type it natively on app in phone, save the destination as a favourite, and access it on android auto from the favourites list. Again, small, but painful.
You going to hate android auto belive me.

I upgrade my Oneplus 3 to Mate 10 and having the same Google Map resolution too high problem.
I turn off Smart Display and lock the resolution to HD (720p) as instructed from this post, the navigation of android auto back to normal but the quality of the screen of the Mate 10 itself look like a budget phone.
I will try to update the firmware of my SONY XAV-AX100 if it would help.
Oh great. I really wish i found this thread before pulling the trigger on a Sony XAV-AX100 I expect it to arrive sometime next week but it wont be installed in my car until the new year sometime. Nonetheless, I will try some basic tests with Android Auto and report my findings. These tests won't involve sound though. No speakers laying around to connect to the headunit. I have a Mate 10 Pro, firmware 8.0.0.125
Updating the firmware of the XAV-AX100 unit does not help. I think it is the problem of Huawei Firmware. I hope they can fix the problem soon.
I just bought my Mate 10 last week. Finally got a chance to use AA, and after reading all the helpful information from this thread, I changed my phone resolution down to HD (low). I have a brand new car and brand new expensive flagship phone, and now you are telling me Huawei doesn't work well with AA. I really dont want to use an expensive phone with HD low resolution. Is there a way to let Huawai fix it?
I was also wondering if we could update the firmware of the screen of our car? I have a 2016 honda accord ex-L...

I think we have to wait for the firmware update of the phone instead of the firmware of head unit. I am current running 8.0.0.119(C636) (which have the AA bugs) and hope that the new 8.0.0.128(C636) I found in Firmware Finder will have the problem fixed. However, the new firmware is not authorise to install on my mate 10 yet.

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately

Sorry for bringing this topic again, but these are exactly my problem and exactly my thoughts.
I have a Mate 9 Pro with Oreo beta and even when I don't have problems with maps or screen, I can only hear 1 song and then the audio stops working, and even when I unplugged the phone, the device remains with no audio at all until I reboot the device.
I tried to test with a P10 Lite, but the car is not even recognizing it.
I will try today with an Android Stock device to see if I get better results.
:fingers-crossed:

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.

Do you get correct resolution on your car screen with AA? I can get correct resolution by using HD 1280 x 720 only, which is low resolution.
I tried to use Quick Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut so everytime I need to use GPS, I will toggle it on. However, Quick Shortcut Maker doesn't work on my Mate 10, and I dont' see any new shortcut created on my home screen.
I tried Nova Launcher, again, no hope. Nova Launcher tells me "Permission Denial" when I created the shortcut for "Screen Resolution". Also, after insatlled Nova, my Torch (flashlight) no longer working anymore.
I am thinking to return this crappy mate 10, it's not worth it to spend so much time to do research on all these bugs for Huawei software engineer....

Ok. I have received the Sony head unit and had it installed on friday night and...........
I am having similar experiences to Snachez with some exceptions.
No sound in Google Play Music. Which I am very pissed off with. Sure, I could cancel Google Music, but I have a family account with multiple users. So that's not really an option. I have no choice but to take up a Spotify subscription as well as GPM. I truly believe this is an issue with the GPM app or AA and is not Huawei's fault. Goddamn you Google. (EDIT: Just scored 3 months of Spotify for $0.99. If Google can get there **** sorted by the end of March with the Music app, it won't be so bad)
Maps are fine. don't matter what resolution i run the phone at. Sadly this is probably the only part of AA that has worked as expected.
Phone call information does not display on my headunit. at all. I have a dialer / contacts info but that's it. It doesn't matter if i switch the phone between 720 or 1080p. phone call info does NOT come up on the headunit. Do i have to reboot the phone between resolution switches? Because I didn't try that.

Saying I hate it would be a bit strong. More unimpressed than anything else. Unless I need to use Google Maps, or charge my phone. This headunit is going to spend more time in BT Audio mode than AA
I have got phone functionality (call info, etc) to work in AA. But to do so I have to force close the Huawei dialler each and every single time before connecting the phone to the headunit.
[email protected] me, what an absolute pain in the arse. How did Google and/or Huawei not notice this???
On the upside though, it works when the phone's resolution is set to 1080p. what a relief because changing it to 720p everytime i want to use AA would just suck.
To all the folks that say phone / maps doin't work properly in 1080p. have you tried enabling Developer Options in AA and experimenting with some of the settings?
