[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
If your Google Music (version 3 and 4 are affected the same) will sync, download, but

not play the song while downloading

(i.e. streaming; sometimes displaying the "Failed to play the requested stream" error), read this for the solution.

UPDATE 2011-11-12: I have re-written this post with simpler instructions for fixing the issue. If you would like more details, scroll down and read my original (in-depth) post.

NOTE: If you installed Google Music and it never asks to associate with your Google account, thus your online "cloud" music does not show up, this is a different issue. You need to move Music2.apk to /system/app/ directory and run Fix Permissions.

The Fix

Go to Google Music Settings and under Manage my devices make sure that you don't have the max 8 devices registered. You can safely De-authorize them all to be sure; they will re-authorize automatically.

Try streaming music again in Google Music.

If this does not fix the issue, then you have a bad /system/etc/hosts file. Don't worry if you don't know what this is.

Download ROM Toolbox if you don't already have it (it is included with StarBurst ROM v1.9). Note that you will need to be rooted to use most functions of this app.

Open ROM Toolbox, scroll down on the Tools page and click on Ad Blocker, select the items you would like to block (what you select does not affect the Google Music fix), and click Download & Install Hosts.

Try streaming music again in Google Music.

For ROM Developers

Please ensure that any hosts file you distribute or software you distribute that modifies the hosts file results in a UNIX-formatted hosts file with proper localhost entries. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] taylortr:
Thank you so much for this! I used rom toolbox to download and install new hosts file and my music is back up and streaming!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Wow, that's awesome! I don't have problems with it now because I switched to a different rom, but last I checked some of the Starburst roms have it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
Can we do this via root explorer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] penskyc:
I am on step six and when i try to push the file back I am being told "failed to copy 'hosts' to '/system/etc/hosts': Read-only file system"

EDIT: using romtoolbox to redue my host files was the perfect solution!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
I'll update the OP to include the 'adb remount' command to allow read-write to the /system partition. Thanks for pointing this out and glad you got it working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] marcosowns:
Wow, I thought it was just something I would have to live with. It was really annoying having to wait for the entire song to download before it would play. Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
I know, it was a damn near magical experience when I got the song to stream nearly immediately after clicking Play (on 3G nonetheless!) when I finally figured out the solution! I'm sure you're just as happy as I am to have this awesome service back. Cheers! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
holy damn, all I can see is a bunch of gibberish, but ya'll make it seem so easy. Thank god for people like you. I have no idea what ya'll are talking about, but hope that this will be pushed through to the roms. Would be nice to stream google music through 3g instead of wifi. Nice job!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Just to be clear, this problem has nothing to do with connection method (3G/wifi). When this problem is present, streaming of songs while they download will not work at all, regardless of connection method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
Thanks for the clarification OP

How is everyone getting the ics music to stream, I got it to sync with gmusic on my vibrant but it never comes upwith the option to connect to my account on my e4gt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Off topic, but you need to install the .apk to /system/app/. There are other threads with this info.

1 thing worked for me

After trying to reinstall hosts files the only thing that worked is removing all of my authorized devices on google.music.com websites under settings. Thanks a million for the tip

Can anyone help me with figuring this out with Windows?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
+1, i cant get even 1 song to stream, and my music app is from the market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmcamos:
If you're rooted, you can download a new hosts file directly from your phone with ROM Toolbox (on Android Market). This did the trick for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Nice, this is probably the most straightforward way to rewrite the hosts file. I'll update the OP when I get a chance. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cral:
I don't see where I can do this. Can someone explain it in detail. Thanks.

Nevermind I figured it out. It worked great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I've held out of ROM updates, put everything on hold because I thought this was only happening to me... Now here is the fix I've been waiting for, yet I have NO CLUE what the heck host this in that huh?

I downloaded rom tool box free (will purchase if necessary) from market:

I need a super noob click here guide... Please help, it's been hell without Gmusic :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
(I'm using a Mac) As a noob, I have no clue what to do. For example: Fix it with: dos2unix hosts... does this mean rename the file or download some file and replace this?

My Google Music has not been working for over a week and I can feel this fix just can't follow it. Maybe instructions for dummies like me? It's been a BIG hassle, PLEASE HELP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
I have updated the OP with simplified instructions (for those not UNIX-inclined ;)), using ROM Toolbox as suggested by taylortr & jmcamos. The new methods don't require a computer and can be done entirely on the (rooted) device. :cool:

Let me know if anyone still has trouble. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ercliou:
thanks for the tutorial !

I haven't tried linux method yet..

But Rom Toolbox didn't workout for me... still doesn't stream

After Download & Install Hosts I checked hosts and it didn't update first line to localhost. Still that same 0.r.msn.com

EDIT: oops.. I forgot to mention. I'm with Sensation hehe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
If that doesn't work, try running 'ping localhost' on your device (using adb or Terminal Emulator; Google if you don't know how). If ping doesn't work, then your hosts file is messed up. If it's missing the localhost line, add it. If it does work, then you have a different issue; try clearing data & reinstalling Google Music.

Provide us with more detail, including everything that you've tried, and we can better help you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toruk Makto:
The fix didn't work for me. :mad:

Edit: Going to try the advice posted above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizz2008:
Same problem - HTC sensation using Insertcoin's 3.43 ROM.

Ping localhost fine

Some songs stream - others don't - its just so random

Anyone with a fix for this and I'd be a happy man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
If you guys want help, you need to provide more info. "It doesn't work sometimes" is like going to the doctor saying "I hurt" and expecting a full, accurate diagnosis.

I have Evo 3D and the same problem. I had Adfree before and I reverted back to original hosts file. There is only one entry now: 127.0.0.1 localhost

ping localhost command succeeds. But google music still gives failed to play requested stream error. I have tried: deauthorizing devices, clear cache and reinstall google music, ROM toolbox hosts, using US proxy to connect... Pretty much everything except a full device wipe.

After it finishes downloading the song, everything is fine. Any advice?

[General Questions and Answers] OptimismPrime:
Hello everyone,

i am apearantly one of the very, very few people who don't think "bigger is better".

I am in the market to replace my aging T-Mobile G1.

I have played around with some of the phones my friends have (4" Galaxy S, 4,3" Desire HD) and find them freakishly large, nothing to comfortably put in my pocket.

Looking at new releases seeing 4.3, 4.5, 4.7 inch devices i can not see myself being comfortable with any of these monsters.

Seeing as my G1 lasted me about 3 years i'd like to find a phone which isn't horribly underpowered by even todays standards to last me at least 2 years again, so what i'm looking for is:

- GSM /HSPA(+) phone usable in europe (germany to be precise)

- Screen between 3.5 - 3.9 inch (3.7 idealy)

- fastest CPU/GPU available in this form factor (idealy dual core)

- as much ram as possible.

- front camera (if possible)

Hope Anyone can help, because all i came up with are Nexus One / Desire / Desire S, and i feel there should be better options than 1 Ghz Qualcom Single Cores with Adreno 200/205.

EDIT (Nov. 12th, 2011):

------------------------

The (prelimenary) Winner here is the T-Mobile US exclusive "MyTouch 4G slide".

It is working on all Bands used by every single provider in germany, namely:

GSM: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

HSPA: 1900 / 2100

and has a dual core 1.2 GHz Processor aswell as 768 MB RAM.

PLEASE - if you can point me to a place where i can buy a unlocked "MyTouch 4G slide" that will ship overseas to europe, let me know.

[General Questions and Answers] androidino95:

Ot: Huge phones suck, ill wait for 3.2 inch dual cores :p /jk (htc titan is veeery tempting for me '_' shame its not android)
[General Questions and Answers] OptimismPrime:
Thanks for the suggestions, but the Arc is a 4.2 Inch Phone, the Neo certainly has a 3.7" Screen, but comes with the same QSD8255 1GHz Snapdragon like the Desire S, but with only 2/3 of its RAM.
[General Questions and Answers] slimslim:
Many four inchers now are almost the same size wih the older 3.7 ones... you might reconsider.

Edit: eg; moto atrix close in size to iPhone 4s
[General Questions and Answers] OptimismPrime:
WE HAVE A (potential) WINNER, PEOPLE!

After doing some more digging i finaly found a 3.7 inch dual core smartphone.

The 'HTC Doubleshot' aka 'MyTouch 4G slide' sold by T-Mobile US has a 1.2 Ghz Dual Core Snapdragon and 768 MB of RAM. In Addition to that it also has a full QUERTY Keyboard, nice plus there.

According to the Spec-Sheet on GSMArena ( http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php ) it supports all 4 GSM / 2G Bands used in germany, as well as HSPA on both of the 3G/3.5G (yeah, in europe HSPA+ is 3.5G, not "Faux-G" aka non LTE/Wimax 4G) Bands used by the german providers, namely 1900/2100.

So that means full operation is possible on EVERY german Cell Provider.

Now for the hard part:

The MyTouch 4G slide is a T-Mobile US exclusive and won't EVER come to Europe i was told by HTC Germany.

So......can anyone point me to a place where i can buy a MyTouch 4G slide, unlocked, with overseas shipping to europe?
[General Questions and Answers] jimbo.levy:
EBay would probably be your best bet. As far as unlocking is concerned, you might be able to buy it unlocked or take it to a vendor who will do it for you for a small fee. Failing that, get a Galaxy W

About my problem at boot time, the problem seems to be the use of EStrong task manager :

- i tried to boot, with Go Launcher as default launcher, without clicking the one-click widget : it blocks

- i removed the widget from Go, then reboot with Go : it doesn't block.

I'm not sure removing the widget is a sufficient solution because i didn't want to try again : i had to reboot about 10 times before i conclude EStrong widget is - seems to be - the problem. So i'll wait next boots to verify it is a solution.

About the blocking during normal use : it seems to block when too many activities at the same time.

Have to continue investigations.....

Any idea, opinion?..... :)

EDIT : deleting widget is not enough, sometimes it still blocks. So i use another task manager (not widget) and try to kill applications before it blocks. Sometimes it's ok sometimes not...
