The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...
I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!
i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

-as usual for diablo!
It also happens when corporate syncing in Microsoft outlook. I have to delete phones and tablets after I root them a couple times.

Ah that's also good to know. It seems like these kind of services you'd have to watch if you are rooted, just so you won't have any future problems.
Cant find settings in google music on the web page
Sorry, I cant find the settings in the google music section on the web page. Do you mind explaining where it is? Sorry if this sounds like a noob question.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.
Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.
Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!
Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.
I know that you can put multiple accounts on the fire, but I have a problem. I added another account but it was the wrong one, so I removed it. Then I tried adding the right one again, now it says I have to wait 180 days. Is there any way to bypass this so that I can login another account?
Slightly drastic but I guess factory reset would do it.

Sure? No, not done it. Maybe it's just based on the accounts, but seems odd that they'd stop you putting things on a clean tablet.
Unless it's down to drm things with the accounts.
Hi everybody.
I'm writing this in order to find out if someone else is having the same issue.
I bought a Nexus 6 a month ago coming from an HTC M8 (with GPE 6.0 on board).
When I set the new device I decided to "restore from Google account" all the settings and apps without unlocking or rooting it.
Everything went fine and started using (with great pleasure) the "big boy".
Since ten days (a couple of weeks after) Inbox app decided to give me notifications of new emails just... when it wants to. I have "good days" when everything works smooth and others when I have to open the app to discover I have several unread messages.
I tried uninstalling the app, use GMail instead but the same issue came out. I tried deleting caches and data but nothing: same behavior.
Hoped 6.0.1 (got the OTA) could solve but no, nothing.
Does anybody have some hint to solve this?
It's getting me crazy...
Thx

well, you are asking in the wrong place, so you might not get any responses http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454
ill adk a mod to move this thread there.
and, do you have inbox and gmail set to sync in your main settings, accounts, google..?
From what I can tell it's caused by doze. I only notice it if I sit my phone on a desk I don't get any email notifications but once I turn it on I immediately get a notification for a bunch of emails. I know theres some apps for fiddling with doze settings but I think you can go and turn inbox's "Battery optimization" off and it should be exempt from doze.

Didn't think about Doze... But if this is the problem everyone should have the issue, am I wrong?
BTW I'm going to check today if it works.
Thank you by now.
Update: Doze disabled for Inbox but problem persists... Any other suggestion?
Inviato dal mio Nexus 6 utilizzando Tapatalk
I am having the same issue in my new Nexus5X (coming from Nexus5). Unlocked, but not rooted.
This is the first page I found while googling for the issue.
Do you have any news regarding it?
Update: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...syncing-issues-in-gmail-inbox-and-other-apps/ at least we are not alone :-/
This began happening before doze. I had this on this phone on Lollipop. I had it on my Xperia Z1s.
Hi,
I have been playing around with my new P20 Pro and setting it up to match with what I was used to on my Nexus 6P.
Coming from pure Nexus experience, I really liked the personalised cards you would see on your Google feed (when you swipe right on the home screen)
With EMUI default launcher, it has the option to show Google feeds, but nothing is showing up on the Google Assistant/Now screen when I swipe right on the home screen. It only shows the Google search bar at the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have figured out how to get it working? I have looked at a few things online and nothing there is helpful.
I had that issue but after I had finished setting everything up it was working fine. Sadly I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. Try going through all the Google stuff. Hold the home button and set up Google Assistant. Go into the Google settings and have a play in there
You should have an options menu when you swipe right on the home screen. Be sure to enable feed and any other relevant options. Hopefully you figure it out.

Hi Highspeed123,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried all of those things, set up Assistant, enabled feed in Google Settings and in EMUI Launcher's setting. Played around with various properties in Google Settings too, to no avail.
Hopefully, someone else would have figured out how to get it working.
Thanks
So, after trying various things and trying to search online, I had a stroke of luck. Here are the steps that helped me get the Google feed and the cards working on the right swipe of home screen.
1. Open Play Store
2. Select Google App
3. Uninstall (this will uninstall any updates that were applied)
4. Check you Google feed from the home screen (it should now be working but showing you content in some different format)
5. Come back to Play Store
6. Update the Google App
7. Return to home screen to check your Google feed and the cards now appear in the format you are used to
8. Phew...
It was tricky to figure this all out and had little help out there on the internet.
So, I hope this helps anyone else out there struggling with the setup to enjoy their shinny new P20 Pro
Cheers

Yes, I noticed that on Thursday when the Google app updates were pushed out. I have skipped the update for now.
This updates are so temperamental on non stock Android!!

Mine is sluggish to get going. I often need to do a Google search and swipe backwards and forward a couple of times and then it will populate.
Been working fine all day, then all of a sudden stopped working again!
Same issue.
Worked for me - thx!
Has anyone found any other solutions than this? I've tried this as well as clearing all Google data, to no avail. Is there any other suggestions?
I use Lawnchair Launcher and Lawnfeed for this.

Not sure if you have already tried it, but another workaround is to simply search for something in the search bar at the top and after closing the search results, the feeds starts appearing!
Not necessarily reliable the whole Google feeds and Maps app on a non stock Android phone, but we all wanted a super camera
Google seems to have updated. i now get a feed and navigation items at the bottom. It looks different with a smaller search field. Seems ok but I can't swipe stuff i'm not interested in away any more.
I've had the same problem, got my on the first day of release. It's taken till today to finally work! Hopefully yours starts working soon too!
Got the official android pie One UI update tonight and just wtf is this mess ? I like the reachable menu items but no swiping across to access the next menu item is less intuitive. Swiping down to access notification is now drawn out, a quick flick down doesn't open it you have to drag your finger down. Performance modes seem to be missing.
All in all it just looks like iPhone OS.
I'll get used to it a guess, well I'll have to won't I ?
I'm sure there's more I'm going to complain about as I've only been on Pie for about 20mins.

Camera software is a downgrade, have to use 2 hands to zoom 1 hand to hold the phone then 2 fingers to zoom, good one Samsung.

Lmao. You're a moaner, aren't ya? ?
Can't disable Bixby, omg are you really happy with this steaming pile ? I feel like someone has took my flagship Samsung phone and replaced it with a budget model.
Now I'm gonna have to factory wipe it cos it's running like a bag of ****, stuttering
I completely agree. It's really terrible.
What have they done to multitasking?
You used to be able to swipe from one corner of a full screen app to put it in windowed mode. That's completely gone.
In order to use split screen you have to go into recents. Swipe back to the app you were using (because it moves away from view). Tap the icon at the top of the app. Select "open in split screen view". Then either scroll through all your recent apps to find the one you want to have one the bottom half of the screen. Or if it isn't in your recent apps you have to find it by typing into a search box! (You can't even switch which is top and bottom any more.)
In Oreo you just opened recents tapped split screen on one app and selected the other from the app-list in the bottom.
Totally! I am so frustrated that I threw my phone from a moving car. Never touching a Samsung again. That will teach them. I bet they will go out of business now!

No-one else has these problems so it's not the OS, have you factory reset yet?
Always factory reset after a major OS update Oreo > Pie
Or as I already explained how to, flash back to Oreo

It's a new OS, it is different to the last one, there is an easy way to go back, no-one likes listening to someone complaining about everything possible in multiple threads for no reason other than you don't like it, that's not productive and is not going to change anything, so either learn to live with it or flash back to Oreo
Why keep complaining you don't like Pie when you absolutely do not have to use it? It's just whining mate, no-one likes that and all you'll do (As is already happening) is annoy other members
If you're having problems with it, then by all means ask questions on how to fix it, but don't just keep posting the same old thing over and over saying it's crap it's crap, you don't like it, we get it
EDIT - Go spam Samsung's twitter account with your dislikes, at least the people who did this horrendous thing to your phone will hear you that way

Come on mate, you must know it's not helping anything, totally understand it's not cool when features you used are removed, happened to me with my S7 and I took Samsung's head off about it, but other than an initial post here asking where it had gone, there's no need to keep hammering it, it's gone.
If you need a hand flashing back to Oreo I`ll happily help, only take a few mins once you have the firmware downloaded

One answer to that is dont use Samsung apps. I have plenty of space so I use the Google dialer, Google Messages, and Google calendar. In fact, I don't use any stock Samsung apps and have most of them disabled along with Samsung Experience Home. With Home disabled the recent menu is vertical again. Of course, with receents vertical you can't use the hold home slide right option.

You can disable Bixby and Software updates using Package Disabler Pro, does not require root either
