Updated to the latest version of the walkman app and I can't get anything to play from music unlimited.
Anyone else with a similar issue?
Cheers
Edit: Turned out to be AdAway app restricting the hosts file, which meant neither Music Unlimited of the Walkman app could access the MU Servers...Ho Hum

I can see all my playlists etc, but when I select play, nothing happens.
Do you have to have the MU app installed at the same time as the Walkman app, or does the walkman app work without the MU one?
In MU, it says it was unable to connect to the network ... even though the network is fine, with other apps able to connect to the internet.
When at home I turn off the radio and go into wifi mode only.
Up until now this has worked fine, so I'm not sure if its a MU app issue or the latest walkman app issue.
The weird thing is, I deleted the updates, cleared the data and installed a previously working version 9 I believe it was; it worked for 2 tracks and then stopped.
I've emailed sony, but hell will freeze over before they come back to me !
Thanks.

If you go to settings/music unlimited in Walkman app is the service switched on? It's possible the service has outage but unlikely.

Can you locate a track you've downloaded with MU in a file Explorer and open it from the file explorer so it autoruns Walkman (which I guess is the default player?)

Mmh don't have any after deleting all offline data.
If I select a playlist to offline, the offline switch stays on, but the files never download.

I had a similar problem with videos, using Xperia privilege app. They played initially until I reset my Ultra, at which point they stopped playing. I solved the problem by deleting the videos and re-downloading them again. You could try deleting the music tracks and re-adding them again.

My only gripe with Google+ is I still haven't discovered any way to change your profile picture without logging into the website.
Profile > touch your photo
Did they fix the overplay issue where streaming music would sometimes repeat instead of moving onto the next track?

Good to know I'm not the only one with that problem.
I thought I goofed something up.
music 4.0
i uninstalled the current music (i uninstalled the orig photon music and i was running google music ever since day one) and pasted music 4.0 in system/apps did a reboot and it runs great.
although i do not see to much difference between V3 and 4.0, but it looks like it runs smooth and there are a few settings added (but then again i didnt play much with the settings in v3)
it also has a smaller widget so i added a shortcut to the app next to the widget. its whatev i guess.

I've been running Music V4 for a couple of days and I haven't experienced the overplay of songs(songs repeat after finishing current time exceeds total time) This used to happen at least 5+ times a day so I'm thinking they fixed it in this latest version. Bravo Google.
Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

I had the exact same problem. I was on 4.1.2 stock no root. Even after I acknowledged the message that is crashed, a minute later it would pop up the same message. The phone was running kind of wonky afterwards too. Ended up uninstalling the update and it would open normally, although the older version.
So it's not just you.

This time I'm pretty sure I have the fix. It is definitely working for me. There's a problem with the album art in the mp3's ID3 tags. I'm pretty sure it's only the art from a few of them but good luck finding which ones. If you delete all the album art from all mp3's you should be able to run the app without problems. You'll have to delete all the music from your phone and re copy it. You might have to delete everything you've uploaded to Google then re upload that too, but I'm not sure about the last part. Hope this helps.
Has anyone noticed the Walkman app is no longer a synced with your Music Unlimited account? Anyway to correct this issue?

Hi guys,
I'm having problem getting music that I downloaded from play store to show up on walkman.
I tried a suggestion from a post I found on google, opt to download music to external sd card. I can actually find the file I downloaded from play store on sd card under android/com.google.android.music/files/music, but it just won't show up on walkman's library.
Does anyone have an idea about what might be wrong? Thanks!

Well it's hidden so you shouldn't be able to delete it. You could potentially delete it by using a file manager but it could cause issues with play music. Also play music doesn't download the files with conventional file names. The metadata is not stored with the song so in any other music app such as Walkman all the music will look completely wrong such as wrong title album, art etc.

You can try Play Music Exporter if you have root.
If you have root then use GMusicFS

Just download the song to your pc and then drag it into the music folder on the Z2. Walkman will then see it.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately my phone is not rooted and I'm not really willing to do that.
And, yes, I know I can just download it from a computer and put it on my phone, but I don't understand why would Google want to make things complicated like that. It's just really annoying! Just switched from an iPhone to Xperia not long ago. I must say I really miss 'everything just works' on my iPhone.
Yes the limited features of an iPhone do just work. The same features just work on Android. What you're requiring is user preference. Just use play music its a great app especially when used with all access

Actually, I'm not just referring to this. There have been a lot of problems with the phone since I got it. Luckily, there is no gap or anything physical like some other people are experiencing with their phones.
The screen is way too sensitive, hovering my fingers on the screen can even be registered as a touch. it was annoying at the beginning but now I'm getting used to it.
I got the Australian version of Xperia Z2. While a lot of countries have already got updated to 17.1.1, mine is still sitting at 17.1. I had to backup the phone and then flash the German firmware myself. I could not understand why don't Sony just simply release the update worldwide at once and everyone will be happy!
I backed up the phone via Sony companion. However, when I tried to restore all my contents...Guess what? First try, it stuck in the middle and progress indicator did not move for hours. Second time, I had to untick the 'others' to let it at least finish the restore, which means all my app data could not be restored. Even after that, it still couldn't get the job done properly. After the restore was finished, the app was telling me my contacts and settings cannot be restored. Third time, messages restore was successful, but settings and messages cannot be restored...the funny thing is, messages were successfully restored during the second time, but failed in the third time...I just...grrrrrrrr! Finally I gave up and decided to set up every thing on my phone manually after wasting my whole day on this. (If you know any backup app that works well, please let me know. the Sony one is absolutely pathetic!)
Also, I cannot seem to get the MP4 files to play properly on my phone, they have no sound for whatever reason.
While I enjoy the active noise cancelling without dragging an extra brick around, I don't really think I will get another Sony or any android phone when I upgrade next time.
To be fair, it was just you being inpatient that started that ball rolling. The ota won't be long, and then all the backup restore problems wouldn't be needed. I never backup anything, I just set it up again when needed, mostly it is in the cloud anyways. Not sure about the mp4s, everything thrown at it so far has been fine

Yes I was inpatient, because I thought the new update would fix the screen issue and it did. The Australian version wasn't even getting the .69 update, so I assumed this one would take a long time to get released as well.
Even without this whole update thing, I would still want a functional backup/restore system in place. The reason why I would want to backup my phone is that I like carrying all the app data to my new phone or keeping data when I have to restore the phone for whatever reason. Google's app data sync doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't seem to restore anything but reinstalling app I installed before. All my progress in games, messages in whatsapp and viber are all gone.
My friend had the same problem with his account not syncing with Google also, he lost his contacts every time he flashed. I've never had that problem with android ever. It might be worth looking into why it's not working, it's android/google not Sony tho. I always used titanium backup, but I'm not looking to root this phone, just because it already works exactly as I want straight out the box, from battery life to battery%. Have a look on google play, there will be other backup solutions that may work better for you.
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Yea I tried some of them and none of those seem to work like the iTunes. Oh well.. I will just live with it for now.
Btw, under google account it says app data is being synced...hopefully it's actually working now.
