Android Market Music Problems - Nook Color General

The new Music section has popped up for me and everything works great, except when I try to actually get a song. For instance when trying to get a Free song I tap the Free button and get taken to the Purchase screen just like for Apps and Movies but before the accept button appears I get a "failed to retrieve information from server" error and get bumped back to song info. Going to the Market site with a Desktop UA let's me go to the same Free song and get it so that limits the possibilities. I already tried wiping Market data. Anybody else with similar problems?

same issue
I am having the same issue on my Xoom. Followed the same procedure a couple of times. Looks like this is a pretty common issue whenever they do a new market release. Hopefully they get it working soon though, the free song of the day is sweet. Does anyone have an alternate work around?

Well it's working for me now, don't know why it's suddenly working.
For people who are still having problems just open the Market in a Web Browser and use that. If you get automatically pushed to the Market App when trying to go to http://market.android.com then go to "Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market-->Clear Defaults".

You may want to try re-installing pandora to fix it. If its not showing up in market I think you can go to www.pandora.com with your tablets browser and download it there. Not sure about that, but I think thats how I got it and it works great.
I' m now having a problem with Pandora as well. It goes to the splash screen and hangs. I'm running a recent Pershoot kernel and a recent CM7 nightly. I performed the build.prop fix to get Netflix working (it does). I cannot listen to my stations thru Dolphin either. I log in and it lists them, but won't play anything.
-------------------------
Update: I was just going to post the above description and I went into Netflix to verify it still worked. It errored with the message "Set correct date and time, then restart" (are something along those lines).
For some reason, in settings, my date showed as sometime in 2008. I don't know why this was - if CM7 defaults to that or something else whacked it. Anyhow, I adjusted the date and Netflix and Pandora both work fine again.
Use titanium backup or just application management (within settings) to wipe data and cache for the Pandora app. I had the same thing happen to me before.
This happened on my wife's Droid X phone a few times in the last week or so. Each time I found there was a newer version of Pandora available in the Market. Once I upgraded it on her phone it came up fine and played fine.

Nook app in the market updated; supports magazines and newspapers!

Pretty much what it says in the thread title...I just did a Market update on my CM7 install and it showed an update for the Nook app to support magazines and newspapers. The only major functional difference between the stock reader and the market reader now is kids' read-to-me books. Nice update!!!
That's great, although it is lame that kids books aren't supported yet, even the *pad supports those!
Just updated, and couldn't get anything to work right! Just cleared the cache and rebooted to see it that helps
Great will update that's what was missing

Well allllright! Now I don't have to resort to annoying work arounds to read The Onion and Asimov's Science Fiction on the market Nook reader. It supports more magazines now too (for example, PC Gamer was "Nook Color" only, now it's "Nook Color" and "Nook for Android (Tablet)" which apparently means us...makes me curious how it's deciding what is a tablet and what isn't, if it makes a distinction...screen resolution I presume), so it's work a look for anyone who got some magazines on the Nook Color and can't read them now because they are on CM7 or something.
I think the interface is a bit better as well.
My books disappeared
I have a number of books loaded on my SD card( in the correct directory). After the update the books don't show up.
Any ideas?
edit: They showed up. Just had to wait a few minutes.

I'm not sure what to say, I didn't have any problems. Have you tried refreshing the the app? (that is, presing the refresh button up near the top of the screen underneath the search button within the app?)
I can't get the update to run on my nook color with 1.2 and manualnooker. There's an icon but when I tap it nothing happens no force close screens no error messages nothing. It's like the app isn't even installed.
I've got the same issue on my stock rooted original. Maybe it's not working because I haven't updated to the newest software version.
I also tried running it on my nexus, but my magazines will not show.

I'm running CM7, but why are you guys trying to get it to work? You can just use the slightly superior still stock Nook Color reader. I mean, you know, go for it...just curious.

Not everyone has stock (rooted or not) still intact? Never mind, I gotcha (Thought you were referring to the earlier posters rather than later)
On another note, going to the store (and for that matter, any top-bar or bottom bar menu items, like menu, go to library (if in store), info, search) takes a long time to register. It's not my screen, because I can swap in and out of other apps and hit those spots without any lag or problems. Menu is not working for me at all

Its not possible to run Nook app if you are running Stock... doesnt matter which version... at least i never got to run and always found ppl stating the same
some questions
Running cyanogenmod 7.02.
Is it possible to "read in store" when I am in B&N?
Using the nook app, do I have to load the books on the SD card? Can I put them into internal memory?
Thanks in advance
How to get if in Canada
Whats the best way for a Canadian to get this app since the Market restricts it.

I spoke to one of the Nook app devs about the near impossible task of pressing the buttons in the upper right corner, when they released the beta of this last week. He said they are working on fixing this.

Look up Market Enabler in Google Market. Tricks Google Market into thinking you're in the US.

Bummer about the small buttons on the top right of the app..
FYI, search will work in app if you use the CM7 Tablet tweek search button. It will call up the BN apps search dialogue box, provided you have the option toggled on to show the search button on the status bar.
Worked great, for my phone

That was a great solution and worked like a charm. I'm hoping to find the APK somewhere so I can load it on my Transformer.

Good, that's about my only real complaint about it right now.
Looks like they didn't fix sideloaded books showing their covers. The nook app is the ONLY reader app that doesn't show my sideloaded books covers. Every other one i tried they work fine. Annoying.
Just be careful what you touch.. I was looking at magazines and saw NatGeo and thought hey, look, maybe I can preview it. So I tapped "Current Edition". Nothing happened. Tapped it again and it confirmed purchase for $6 for a single edition.
I've emailed B&N telling them to remove this and credit my CC back and that they should fix their horrid user interface.
First off it should VISIBLY change when there's money to be paid. Button changes color or BETTER the button is in a different position, such as a pop-up window that says "Your credit card will be charged X dollars, purchase/cancel". Not the same button that apparently is so laggy it doesn't update in time for folks to not realize tapping it twice in a few seconds will purchase it.
Meh.

New market (3.0.27) doesn't show all apps :(

Hello. I'm sure this has been asked many times, and I apologize for adding another, but I still can't seem to find a solution to this. So the new market app v3.0.27 (is that even the latest version?) doesn't show all the apps, particularly in the "Top Free" section. It also won't allow me to download certain applications like Google Books. The market was running fine just a couple of days ago, but I don't know what's going on now. I tried clearing market cache and google services data but that didn't work ether. Any suggestions?
I am currently running Phiremod 6.3 with the transformbread theme.
Thanks in advance
This is happening to me as well. So far I've been unable to get Flash and Facebook as well as a few others. If I figure it out I'll update.

You can always try uninstalling the market updates. Or installing an old vending.apk
Use search, you'll find TONS of posts relating to this in the past couple weeks.
HRDLYWRKNG try this
First force stop market and clear the data and cache.
Go to system\build.prop
change the line qemu.sf.lcd_density=161 to 160
reboot and market should work
If you could see movies then you should be able to upgrade and download any app without issues
May I know if you are in America? If you are not, try VPN. For me after upgrade to CM7, Angry Bird and many other application only appear after I used an US IP addres..
yup changing the screen density to 160 worked like a charm. Thanks again guys
Those instuctions(pdf) worked for me.
You can also switch back to 161 after you get it to work. Market took up a lot of resources after time under 160. Also had a few problems with apps like the nook app. When switched back you will still have a working market
Skip everything I just said. It worked for a little bit but now it sucks again

As I have stated elsewhere, using 240 instead of 160 to fix market and it appears to work flawlessly ( no data clearing, no app problems etc). Going on over 3 days now without having to do a single thing with the market.
Dunno why this should be the case, but market really is more stable at 240 than 160.

I don't like my icons that big. I would rather go through the lame process of changing my dpi and clearing market every few days then to be stuck at such a large dpi. Maybe I will switch to 240 when I do it but it's not going to stay that way

[Q] Google Music Beta Problem

I don't get FCs. But, I constantly have songs stop while streaming with the message "Failed to play requested stream." Its almost to the point of making the app unusable it happens so often.
My 3g signal at work isn't the greatest, but i can see the download progress of the song is always past the point where the "error" happens. Also, i seem to be able to cache songs and play them off of my sd card without too much of a problem.
I've read that some ad blockers could cause problems with Google Music Beta and i've got AdFree installed and working. I'll try uninstalling that just to see what happens, but i'm just wondering if anyone else has had any issues like this. Very frustrating.
I uploaded the newest version and I have adblock. No problems. What prl are you on? Log in to Google music from your PC. Click the gear icon. Go in to the settings and make sure only the devices you use are authorized. If you flash new roms alot everyone of them authorize a new device. Delete the ones you don't use. Update your prl. If all else fail TB everything and wipe.

Good call on the Authorized Devices...i've flashed at least 4 or 5 different ROMs since i first signed for Music Beta.
However, i uninstalled AdFree and since my first post and it's worked a little better than before. I still have had songs just die for no reason (the download status bar was complete)...but, now the error message says "Error playing requested track."
Update your prl

CM7 installed, but nook app won't work right

I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.
I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."
I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.
Any ideas?
Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.
Try installing CM7.1 as the stable is out now.

No dice. Still forces closes for me on 7.1 and the newest nightly too (217).
Ok, 2 people with different issues.....
cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?
Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
@patruns
My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)
Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.
Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.

Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.
I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.
Thanks for the help.

I fixed this issue for a customer the other day, it happened because the credit card associated with the account had expired. Log in to the B&N website and try changing your credit card on file and see if that helps.
