Noob questions - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So liking the nexus 7 so far got a couple of questions that I can't seem to find in the manual or online
Home screen - Music is still using the default album art placeholder - although in the music app itself shows the album art correctly.
I've been into settings and apps and cleared the music app data - but its not updated the home page
Any ideas?
Also the google IO keynote where it showcased two games - dead trigger and Horn? - ive found dead trigger but cannot find the other one...
Dont know if anyone else watched it but any ideas what its called? on vid its 12.30mins in.
(cant link youtube due to age of account)
Thanks in advance for any replies

Horn is not released as of yet

Google Music Sync

I noticed yesterday that my phone was constantly streaming data, even though I hadn't initiated anything. I'm used to the occasional blips, as email syncs, etc, but this was constant for about an hour.
Anyway, I decided to try and track down the source s, and it appears to be the gingerbread Music app (from CM7 nightlies), and android.process.media. Between these two, they have transferred over 30 meg, both up and down.
I've since turned off the Music Sync in the sync settings, and no more constant data transfer...
I wonder what mischief Google is up to...?

That's a very good question. But I'm completely clueless. the obvious clonclusion is google is gathering data from phones. but for what purpose is unknown. This is my mission. will be on the search.
Sounds to me like the Music app is constantly sending queries and downloading the results. Possibly a bug with fetching album art? If it was repeatedly searching for and downloading album art over a period of a few hours this could add up. Still just a guess though.
You didn't happen to put the honeycomb music app on your phone did you?
I had it on my phone, and I had the option to sync Music in the accounts section (which is presumably for the rumored Google Music Streaming Service), it was trying to sync all the time (not sure how much actual data), so I just turned it off.
It may be the Honeycomb music app. It comes stock with CM7, so it's difficult to detect it's true source...
I was reading something about Google Music, and how it could be similar to Google Books, where all your content is stored online. Could be based around that, but that would imply that the web part it's working to some degree (which is interesting)...

Two days ago my phone ask me that one app need more permission... Guess what? Music sync.
I didn't change anything. So maybe this is a virus? or something?
... I got i9000+darky with new music app. But I found thread here.
I actually it's more likely to be tied to this:

Google music (it's not a joke)

Hello.
I'm german. I have a account on google music (on "https://play.google.com/music"). I have upload an album.
And when i used google music pre installed on my nexus 7: no synchro! Nothing appears!
I have read your topics about google music... but i don't understand.
So please can you explain me how i must do to have synchro ...?
Thanx.
Ps: i don't want to root my nexus 7
I had the same issue but fixed it by going in to settings / apps/ running and force stopping Play. Then powered down my nexus then back on and re-launched Play and hey-presto it worked.. good luck!

[Q] running YouTube in the background

hi everyone. my apologies for asking a question I'm sure has been asked many times before. I want to run my browser or YouTube app whilst doing other things. as an example, I would like to play a song from Firefox on YouTube whilst sketching on Sketchbook pro. all the info I've read around this problem doesn't really solve the problem. I tried downloading the maxathon browser which works as long as I am still in said browser. is there any way of using my tablet in a similar way to a PC or Mac or is this the price we have to pay? thanks in advance

Download PVStar+ from play store, it works great for background listening

[Q] Google Play Tracks - Offline

Hi All
I know this has been discussed quite a few times before in other posts, but the offered solution doesn't seem to apply to my new S4.
I want to 'find' the music that I've downloaded from the Google Play Music app. I've clicked on the little map pin icon in the app and I can see the track downloading. However when I go to the 'Android/Data/com.google.android.music/cache' or 'Android/Data/com.google.android.music/files' (depending on which post you read), the track ISN''T there. I've repeated the download exercise a number of times, but still can't find the music.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

you are not doing anything. I assume our friends from google have hidden the file well.
I have the same issue: the pin is orange (so the file should be on the phone), but it is nowhere to be found. music player does not find it either..
The bizarre thing is I *can* see the track in the Google Play Music app

[Q] "No Client" notification popup! What is it?

Hi,
I'm running stock 4.3 on my Nexus 4 (unrooted). Recently I've been getting this "No Client" notification popup at the bottom of my screen, it's independent of the app or window I'm on. It's driving me mad, I really don't know what it is.
Can anyone help?
Anybody with any clues? Ideas about suspect Apps or settings?
its one of your apps, 100%.
How do I find out which app?
you can uninstall your apps, then install them one by one until you find the guilty app. or you can go through all your apps settings until you find it.

I'm thinking I should look for an app running in the background? Or can the popup/alert show up from any app? Oh boy, I have a lot of apps, it's gonna take a while!
This is driving me nuts..ive uninstalled/reinstalled most of my apps..and i still get this nagging popup!!
Do you use "Android Widget Pro" ?
Happens on my stock Nexus 5 as well.
Happening on my stock Nexus 7 2013 more and more frequently. Hopefully someone can identify the guilt app so I don't have to rebuild.
And no I don't use Android Widget Pro.
This has been bothering me for months. It has to be an app but I have no idea which one. I have over 200 apps installed so although the uninstall/reinstall idea would be effective, it is not practical for me. If the message was consistent maybe, but its not. Anyone with less apps installed want to try?
Same for me on my Nexus 4. Getting insane!!!

how about a screen shot of what you are seeing? I'm not getting the popup on my N4 or N7.

I am getting this with my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. I wonder what causes this. It makes Android feel unpolished.
I have this on my XDA 1. As i don't have many apps I'll list them below and see if you notice any the same. hope this helps/works.

forget it, i've got more apps than i thought....
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CM. Installing my apps day by day and the stupid toast started appearing last night. I'll try to narrow down the app based on the time of install.
Right now I'm suspecting Pocket Casts.

Got the issue on my 2013 Nexus 7, unrooted. I'm not using Pocket Casts, using BeyondPod as a podcast client.
How about greader pro? I've been reading on another thread that turning location options off then on again in Google Settings sorts the problem.

No not using that app either. Mine is becoming more frequent, its annoying but not annoying enough to do a factory wipe. Hopefully someone will narrow down the issue to an app or setting soon!
