I hadn't really used google music much at all, literally one drive around town in the car for about 15 minutes and it had used 56 MB. So after reading this I streamed one song and told it to make it available for offline listening. It was 14.35 MB to do that. I would agree, that is a lot of data for a small amount of music. Looks like the thing to do is go through and make it available off line while on wifi.

Now I am curious where the phone stores it and how much memory each song takes up. With the android file transfer MTP program on my mac I cannot find the songs I have stored for off line music. It is not in the music folder or anywhere obvious. I will dig into the phone with Astro and figure this out when I get a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
I don't think they're stored as normal mp3 files. all renamed, iirc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjax:
Look in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music -- that's where music I've asked to be available offline is stored as numbered mp3 files, and it's presumably also the temporary cache for recently-played music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Well reseting Google Music seemed to do the trick. The background data hasn't changed for two days straight now. Must have just been a bug that had the app constantly communicating to the servers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Figured as much. It may have even been hanging on caching one song and trying over and over. Google Music likes to do stuff like that :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
this is the prime example of when the cloud services are not really delivering as advertised ;)

reason why the 16GB version is just too small for a media / gaming phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lespaul1970:
Hi. Im having same problem with massive data usage. Im kind of new to this- so can someone guide me through resetting Google Music? I cant seem to delete it from my phone entirely. I know you mentioned re installing from the market- but whenever I go there it just gives me the upgrade option- which I did- but still doesnt seem to change anything. Sorry! And thanks to everyone in advance for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuzakuTheKnight:
Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Data & Uninstall Updates

That will reset the app to factory settings and allow you to pull the newest version from the market again. While this stops the problem, it is not a true solution to the issue as we have yet to identify what is actually causing the usage.

Before wiping, could you post your settings for the app? And any information such as library size and the number of songs you have told Music to store locally would be helpful in identifying the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lespaul1970:
Thank you! I appreciate the help! What do you need for settings for the app? sorry! Im new to smart phones- so- I need to be walked through alot of this still! But- let me know any info you need and Ill be glad to get it for you. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lespaul1970:
I currently have 7172 songs on Google Music. I have not stored any songs locally so far. Today started my new billing cycle- and I did nothing with my phone except play 1 song- streamed from Google Music. My data went from 0.000 GB to 0.076 GB after only playing 1 song- that lasted probably about 4 and a half minutes. Pretty crazy. Last month- I used up 2 GB of data in 10 days- and maybe streamed about 30 minutes of music during that time. A Verizon rep told me it takes about 30 hours of streaming music to use up 1 GB of data. I dont know if thats true or not. But judging by what others using it are telling me- I have something WAY wrong. So- Im going to try the info from above to reinstall and see what happens. Thank you for all of your help- and let me know if I can be of any help with additional info.

Ive also wondered if it may have something to do with my settings under music. I have a Razr- and everything is unchecked except "Download Via Wi-Fi- only" and "Cache music-temporarily store streamed music." Those were both already checked with the installation. Should I uncheck the "Cache music" box? Is it pulling down alot more data maybe to temporarily store streamed music? Just wondering about this too! Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodstrom:
I were uploading about 2GB of music from my computer to Play Music, and when that was done my phone gave me a warning that the app Play Music had downloaded 2GB of data over 3G, now I can't use my 3G for three weeks... When I take a look at Play Music's data folder there's only about 100MB of songs, as there should be.

I had set the app to only download via WiFi, but stream via 3G. Why could this have happened? Since I only have 2GB of memory on the phone, and the used data hasn't increased, what happened really?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msassounian:
Sorry to bump a thread that says its solved in the first post...but i'm trying to understand what is going on here.

apparently google music has been pretty much streaming constantly since about the tenth of november in the background. my data usage says that foreground data is about 750 MB and background data is 95 GB. and that's just on mobile networks. on wifi background data is 150GB.

i honestly have no idea how or why this happened. i had download via wifi checked in settings, and auto cache unchecked. I never downloaded any of the songs to my actual phone, and the android.music data folder is empty (cache and files). since finding this out I've disabled background data for google music, and stopped auto sync with google for the music. but i'm baffled.

to give some info on what i'm using:

Droid Razr HD on VZW

running JB 4.1.1 with safestrap and vitreous 1.3 ROM running in rom slot.

anyone have any idea how this could have happened? any help would be appreciated, as verizon is trying to charge me $1600.00 for my phone bill. no joke. Thanks again. and i'm new here, so bare with me ......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You know this is the Galaxy Nexus forum, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msassounian:
actually, i didn't notice that until after i posted. I just searched for it and this seemed to be exactly what is going on with my phone. I can't imagine its because of my actual device....

i apologize if i should have made a new thread in the droid RAZR forum. just let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Google music is a relentless bandwidth hog. Stay away.

Pandora is much better if you have limited data, and don't need HQ on demand music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Micoolef:
There are a number of threads on this issue, and I wanted to get some recent updates on people's experiences with Play Music without recreating the same thread. I figured this be the best place since it is the most recent and has a very effective title.

So we can all agree Play Music is weird with data usage. Whether you are actively streaming or it is running in the background, it seems to use excessive data.

I had figured that when streaming music, data usage will be equal to the size of the songs that are being streamed. For me, most of my library are high quality MP3s, which results in large file sizes. If I listen to one song that is 9MB, that should use 9MB of data. If this isn't the case, then there is problem number one.

The second issue is it running in the background and doing God knows what. Just be sure to disallow caching and check the setting to "download music over WiFi only". Also, make sure you remove it from running in the background when you are finished using it.

What I would really like from this program is to compress music as it is streamed, putting a cap on the data usage per song. When I use 8Tracks or Pandora, the data usage for this music is so minimal, I can listen to it all day to equal a couple of hours of Play Music streaming. This really shouldn't be the case and I'm wondering if there are any options available for streaming your personal library without using so much data..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alice1024:
parasite traffic

5Mb or even 500Mb of parasite traffic is nothing.

Yesterday my Google Music app manged to download 6Gb of "background downloads" within 3 hours.

"Foreground downloads" counter for the same period was 184 Mb

This is a little bit too much. I think it is a bug.

6Gb is my current monthly mobile traffic allowance. If I had 20Gb I believe Google Music would consume 20Gb without hesitation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extremewing:
Same happened here. Last week, in a day, it used 10GB!!

Now I am nervous as hell to even use Google music while on mobile data as I have done for the last few years.

The bill from the carrier was $200 overage charges! I talked them into charging me for a 10gig plan at $80 instead but still steep.

I will try the reset and see how it goes, but beware that if you do not set the limits in the data usage settings, you may at some point get a rude awakening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alice1024:
explanation

I think I managed to find out the reason for excessive traffic usage.

I have several lections files in my online library.

800Mb-900Mb each.

According to my reconstruction of events, Google music decided to fetch them in background. 4G network worked well and Google Music managed to waste about 6Gb of traffic in couple of hours.

One might say that it wasn't clever to upload 1Gb files to Google Music library but decision to syncronize 1Gb files in background using mobile network also could not be considered optimal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extremewing:
I had no large files and did nothing unusual with the Music app. Have been using Google Music without issue for well over a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankushkatari:
I have no music uploaded into the cloud and have about 100 songs locally on the phone. I can see the network activity in the status bar and with the new update, the moment i start playing music, there is a download speed of 2.6kbps and an upload of 1.5kbps continuously. If i slide right and click on settings, the speed goes to 0. So my guess is there is something not right with the new update!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extremewing:
Even with those numbers, the usage is low and can be attributed to streaming. Now way to get to 10 gig in a day not to mention hours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alice1024:
Me neither. Application decided to do something.

I would suggest to request data usage logs from your provider. They charge you for service and should be able to provide you with detailed information.

Usage pattern will give some clues of what happened in your case.

I had 6 sessions which I think consistent with download of 6 big files. I also have found them on the device.

Frankly speaking I expected to see something else. For example big amount of unsuccessful attempts to download one and the same file.

I switched off background downloads and prey they don't have another Easter egg for me somewhere around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extremewing:
I have reset the app and we will see how it goes. I also set the data limits to match my providers limit and a warning low to alert me if something is going on again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankushkatari:
The low numbers for me are because I dont have anything in the cloud. Technically its not supposed to be synching anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alice1024:
I contacted Google Music support and provided description of the problem and all evidences I have.

I wouldn't say they were happy to recognize the problem but I hope my actions will prevent the problem for other GM users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extremewing:
I do not think the reset made any difference. The app ate up all 1gig after a few hours. Pity.
[HTC Sensation] griper:
So I've wanted my sensation for like months before it came out, I was able to get my hands on one 3 months ago, I'm a hard core HTC fan, but started getting some pretty nasty issues, like a lot ! a lot ! of dust under the screen, my camera would not focus no matter what ! and some other little things. I had rooted it and used pretty much every rom avalable, but now had to send it back in for repair. Now many of you might not know what or where Bulgaria is but here you can never expect good service :D. I called the store from which I bought it and on the dust problem one of the guys who actually repair the devices told me that "I probably keep it in a very dusty place". I got mad and called HTC Bulgaria (which I didn't know existed) :D, they checked my IMEI and told me I'm covered by them also, so I got back to stock, give them my phone, next day they call me and It's all done ! didn't give me a new device, but changed pretty much the whole module. No dust, camera works, and all is good once again ! So now I love them guys even more, If anyone needs some help with going back to stock and the normal instructions are too hard, just pm me, I'll try to help out since I'm not that "pro" myself but know whats going on. :)

[HTC Sensation XL] olyloh6696:
Hi,

Thanks for the help, managed to get it working!

I was using a Desire S with a Sensation XL ROM port, and the app didnt work.

So i thought it was a server issue and other users with the app, like you guys won't have it working too.

Turned out it was some framework stuff that prevented me from signing in.

Ended up replacing the framework, and it's all working now!

Thanks for the input anyway!

Cheers

So I have a problem with my galaxy s2 I bought from Craigslist I was really careless until I came home and notice that the phone does have any screws in it but everything work perfect but I notice that my auto brightness doesnt work...the proximity sensor does work I did use the app called arodone on market to test all the sensor everything had the number jumping but the light sensor stay at 10 I think so my question is it is possible to damage the light sensor without damage the proximity sensor please help me

Ive decided to try out MIUI and Im liking it so far, now Im starting to customize. I've searched around and found special lockscreen, icon, and other threads but is it possible there is a MIUI status bar thread around? I seem to have no luck finding any status bars at all. Can someone lend me a hand?
[Android Themes] scottjb:
I don't recall seeing threads dedicated to status bars. You can find a theme in which you like the status bar and only apply the status bar using the MIUI Theme Manager. A nice feature of MIUI themes is you can apply certain parts of a theme if you don't want the entire thing.
[Android Themes] MarcelKC21:
Thanks for the help!
[Android Themes] ericv99:
Or...if you're really feeling creative and you possess some Photoshop skill. You can download some MIUI themes, open em up (rename .mtz to .zip and unzip,once decompressed you'll find some files"com..."just add the .zip to the end and unzip) and edit the png images to something you like.

Once you have an understanding of the files and where they need to be. You'll be creating your own themes in no time.

Good luck.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
Hi there

As I cant post on the SPARTAN ROM thread I´ll post my own experience with it

I´m going with the running specs:

- Rootet

- CWM for mini/mini pro/active

- Unlocked bootloader

- Custom stock OC

- Spartan Rom 1.4

Everything works like a charm. I went on trying ANTUTU BENCHMARK with stock rom/kernel getting 3004 points and moved to 4715 with SPARTAN ROM 1.4. The 1.3.5 Rom went only to 4500 ish points.

So there is a slightly increase in speed in the [V6] script. So keep going on with the development spartan lad.

I will for sure use this one. Hope in the future to be able to use custom themes, launchers and even maybe resolution (cant get why I cant play HD on the TINTIN game).

Greetings again ;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
Running tests

Test using:

- Overclocked kernel with V6 9 script RC4

- V6 scripted SPARTAN ROM 1.4

- Rootet and CWM

- MiniSD with class 6 read

- Overclocked to 1,9 (performance and noop)

Its a shame the ACTIVE hasnt got a bigger screen
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
Almost 4800?

Normally I´m running daily basis at 122/1024 and Noop I/O Scheduler.

This ROM runs best using the SIO I/O Scheduler regardless of what I´ve read about it.

So testing and Overclocking for hours I´ve got this score using:

- Overclockable kernel

- Spartan ROM 1.5.1 with V6 Script v8 (revertet and re-applied)

- SD boost set to 2048

- VM darvik set to 48.

- Overclocked to 1,9 Ghz and with performance as guvernor and SIO schedule

- Minor tweaks

Thats on the fast part. I cant seem to go up to 2 Ghz. I did leave in the freezer for some minutes without random crash or reboot. So Im planning to leave it for about 1 hour and run a test again. Think it can reach 4900 on antutu and might reach the 5000 mark.

Also After running the Stability Test v 2.3 for hours the mobile reaches 50 degree celsius. Cant be healthy for the phone.

Havent finded so many bugs in this build mainly because its the stock rom somehow.

Give it a try. I could do wish the no background theme and black theme. Call it spartan? Go spartan all the way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
4800 hit

Well did hit the 4800 marker. Dont think we´ll never reach the 5000 marker unless we see a new script or tweakable kernel going far beyond 2 Ghz. Doomlord? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
step by step

almost there to reach the 5000 points.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:
so close

almost hitting 5000. god knows what in trying to prove :-P. but sure its stable all the way. can do say and recommend this build. nice work dumraden ;-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Soulfly1976:

So far, I am having a fun time with this Rom. Its great but, I have a couple of feature requests already :P

Some of these might be in future Rom plans already. Im not a big fan of the gray color of the bar in the apps drawer, black would look nicer. Inverted colors of the sense analog clock widget would be awesome. One more request....well two...colored settings icons on soft button press, and colored hourglass/downloading circle thingy, or whatever its called.

Again great Rom, having a blast tweaking it, thanks for the great work :)
