I have the Verizon LG G2. I have a lot of music on the phone and noticed something weird. When I go to "Artists" it lists all of the artists in alphabetical order. Which is normal. But the weird thing is, there are two lists. When I get down to Z, another alphabetical list starts. With artists that aren't in the first list. I don't get it. I am confused. Is there a way to fix this?

Excuse me if I am behind the game, I just got my invite. I had a couple of quick questions, hoping someone could help me out.
1 - I've been uploading music via my pc... left it on all night and it's only uploaded around 600 songs. Is there a LIMIT to how may you can add? I never saw that specified.
2 - When I open the Google Music app on my phone, it only shows the music on my phone... I thought I would be seeing the music in the cloud. Is there something I am not doing? Isn't that the whole purpose?
3 - I'm sure more will come...
Thanks!
Not sure of the top of my head of there's a storage limit, if there is though I'd imagine it would be quite a bit. As for the android app, when you first open it hit menu and go to settings, the first option is to select your Google account. They should all show up after that.
EDIT: I was just checking out my setting on the website and it appears there is a 20,000 song limit. Keep in mind this is beta, so there may be more eventually, or there might be subscriptions for more space.

We are talking about Google here.... Its probably a glitch that will be updated. I downloaded the app but noticed it did not take the place of the music app 1.0 already on phone, so I uninstalled it. Can't you use dropbox for what you are talking about? The size limit probably is the reason you don't. I'm learning more & more by you guys. Thanks....
I think the limit is 20k. Also in settings try and connect your music app to your account. I had to do it manually.

Interesting, I got my Music invite yesterday, downloaded and installed the app this morning and have used it, but did not get a prompt from the app (nor an option under settings) to select my google account till just now.
Looks like all of my music is starting to show up on the app now. Very odd this did not happen when I first installed the app since I had accepted the invite and already began loading music before I got the app.
Off-topic/on-topic question.
This is really not that important, but does anyone know of a way to get a LESS ugly widget to use with the Google Music app?
I hate this thing, but I love the music.
:-( <-------Me pouting.
I noticed that for a few weeks now I'm getting spam type notifications in my notification bar saying things like I've won a free ipad. Was just clearing them out, but now I notice that a shortcut to a "market" has showed up on my homescreen. Can't find anything I didn't install in titanium or my stock application manager. Anyone know what this is and how it gets through my security app. I'm using bit defender. I notice my phones a bit glitchy as well. Widgets aren't wanting to load up. I'd like to figure it out before I do a data wipe.
Usually happens after installing a cracked app. Although I have seen this after installing MP3 Music down loaders as well.
Search for "Airpush detector" in the market then uninstall whatever apps are detected then they shouldn't show up again
Check this out.

Thanks for the info. Got em. It was a couple of winter scene live wallpapers.
Have any of you ever clicked on the "I'm Feeling Lucky Mix" button which creates a mix based on your music taste?
this is a great and excellent feature to have. I've clicked on it multiple times, and now I have multiple instant mixes.
but how do you delete an instant mix? I have these instant mix playlists now, and I don't want them anymore.
I thought I had deleted them somehow previously (don't ask, I can't remember), and what's even stranger is that when I click on "Listen Now" 'All Music', I see all my music there, however, I also see Instant Mixes, I don't want them in there anymore.
When I go to http://music.google.com and login, and click on "Instant Mixes", THERE ARE NONE ! When I click on "Listen Now", there are none in there also!, this is how it should be on my cellphone/tablet as well.
Yet on my tablet, when I view All Music by clicking "Listen Now", I see them in there.
clicking on the 3 dot menu doesn't get rid of them because there is no remove option, no delete option either.
can anyone help?
The Listen Now section is populated automatically based on a few different factors (listening history, recently purchased music, etc...). If you are talking about the old "Instant Mix" feature it should have saved to your Playlists. If you're talking about the new "I'm Feeling Lucky Radio" feature, it shouldn't save anywhere.
Are these instant mixes still showing up under Playlist on your phone/tablet?
@slickromeo There are two types of instant mixes, user-generated ones (which you can delete) and auto-generated ones (which always appear). I was annoyed by them when they were first introduced, so I wrote a chrome extension[1] to give the user control over what they see. I just finished porting it to firefox[2] as well. That will help take care of them when using the web player at least. No joy for people using the app, though.

I'm using the Mate 10 Pro.
I listen to Spotify in my car. Right now every time I enter my car, I have to start up Spotify on my phone, which is quite annoying. On my previous phone (Mate 7), I could add Spotify to the "Protected Apps" and it wouldn't shut down anymore.
Is there a way to solve it in Mate 10 Pro/Oreo 8.0.0/EMUI 8.0.0?
So far I have:
- Added Spotify to "Ignore Battery Optimization" (Status: "allowed")
- In Launch, I deactivated "Manage automatically" and set all three option active (Auto-launch / Secondary launch / Run in Background)
I don't know what else to do. Any help appreciated!
The stock music player app takes precedence over spotify and others. So if there is any sample music on your phone, it will try to launch that first. Maybe remove any locally stored music and try again.

Thanks, but I already did that. I removed all rights from the "Music" player and deleted all files in the same folder. I created a new folder, named it "My Music", so since then (about 1 month ago) the default Music player has not played anything anmore That's good so far. My issue is really just that it shuts down Spotify.
I noticed that when I'm at work. Maybe another hour later, I still see the Spotify icon on top of the screen, so it wasn't shut down. But sometimes later during the day, it's suddenly gone. So when I'm back in the car, I need to start the app again.
I also tried to hit the "open apps" button (the one next to the home button), then clicked the lock icon. But didn't help either.
I dont use spotify throughout the entire day, but usually as long as I wasn't playing a random video or gif online just before entering my car, spotify will start back up.
I cant say that it runs in the background all the time when not in use. Its like my car triggers it to re-open when it reconnects to bt.
I have a mazda 3 though, all cars seem to act different for BT connectivity.
The thing is, if I leave my car to go shopping or something quick and I get back in my car, it works perfectly fine.
Therefore by my logic, I can rule out the BT of my car. When this happens as explained before, the Icon still remains on top in the notification bar.
So, I guess in the end, for some reason my phone just shuts down Spotify.
Anyway, thanks for your input.
I Have the same problem with VPN App it work fine in background but After a while the App Closed Why?
Having a similar problem with VPN app and also with Youmail visual voicemail. No notification of new voicemails until I open the app. Any ideas? I also set to ignore battery optimization and launch manually.
You need to deactivate the battery settings of the app.

That doesn't help. Apps still shut down in background.
FWIW, I have noticed that battery optimization (Launch in settings) changes can be hit or miss. Some apps perform as set. For instance, I have some items set to manage automatically and they seem to stop when I want them to. However apps like Facebook when Set to manage manually and run in background is off, it does not stop. Other apps set this same way will be stopped. Not really sure how it works actually.
I am at a loss for what else to do as for troubleshooting, for the most part I know what I am doing when it comes to tech/apps etc. However I have noticed something very strange, creepy too, in the last week and a half. Everytime I hang up a phone call a random audio clip starts playing on my phone. Sometimes the audio sounds like a recording (like the phone randomly recorded something while I was out and about and was replaying it. But I could not peg the location, so I figured its playing a recording, but it isn't from my whereabouts, still creepy), other times its random music clips, I wouldn't be surprised if this switches to inappropriate audio at this rate.
The audio seems to be cut at a 30-40 sec loop, yes it restarts itself and plays indefinitely unless:
I make a phone call, it stops. 50% of the time it resumes after the call.
I have to restart the phone 98% of the time to make it stop.
Or I hit the recent apps and click 'close all'. I'd like to specify only hitting 'close all' stops it, manually closing apps all apps from recents doesn't do the trick.
In my effort to troubleshoot I have tried to:
Close apps from the recents individually hoping it'd help me find the culprit app emitting the sounds. But I had no luck.
I downloaded Malwarebytes and have scanned my phone with it, it didn't find anything helpful regarding to this issue.
I have checked my android filesystem through the file explorer thoroughly trying to look for MP3's or any other relevant audio files.
I have gone into app info screen and force stopped almost all media apps such as spotify, youtube, instagram, fb etc any app that I may suspect to be playing audio in the background or an app I may have used recently. Force stopping it all yielded no results.
I even went into developer settings and dug into the running services, and cached processes and started killing them all one by one and it still didn't stop the audio!
I also made sure I didn't have any hidden or suppressed notifications making it so that the app playing the audio wouldn't appear in the notification panel.
The got the phone mid July, when I got it I factory reset it twice (it's just something I do with new phones). I set it up as a new phone, I am not a fan of letting Google/Samsung restore apps. I did restore the call log and messages through the Samsung backup service.
I haven't noticed any unusual drain that may have been caused by this issue. I would consider myself a power user and use my phone quite a lot through the day. I don't download random apps, most games I play are paid (fortnite/pubg being an exception) so I doubt it's some silly game throwing ads at me. I have Adhell installed and configured properly to filter out 80% of the ads on the phone. So while I could just go ahead and factory reset my phone, my curiosity would like me to get to the bottom of it. I found one more similar thread on the internet about something like this, here is the link to it. It's mostly inconclusive for the most part however the symptoms mentioned are similar to mine.
I have a feeling there is something going on at system level. I should also note the audio channel the audio is playing through is not the "Media" channel, because while this audio plays in the background, even if I play a song on Spotify or play a video on YouTube, this would continue to play on top of it. It persist even after the screen is locked! Interesting part is I can control its volume through the Media slider however.
I know this sounds like a creepypasta story but its been creeping me out the past few days. I genuinely thought someone was spying on me the first day or two before I bought into those big brother is watching conspiracy theories. But I am not located in the United States and I am sure no one is spying. But I have cleared all sensitive files from my phone just in case.
Any help or further troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated, I wish I could troubleshoot on demand too, but this happens once every five phone calls I take. So reproduction has been a pain. I hope this is the right forum to post in, I'd post in galaxy s9 forums, but I feel this is more in this forums ball park.
Why don't you ask it in here?
There is a section for Galaxy 9 Plus.
