It usually happens when new versions come out, or when you get a new phone. You ‘shop’ around until you find the ROM you like, or beta builds sometimes require a full wipe to upgrade to the next version after large changes.

I don’t have 6, but I’ve flashed my phone several times, which shows up as duplicates on Google music. Just like the screenshot shows above.

Haha, I simply modified the message I sent to Google and forgot a few pronouns :]

The only logical explanation is they got pressure from Music companies. Google has no interest in weather or not we flash our phones. The ecosystem is what they care about. And the music industry is a hard industry to please.

I’m glad Google has fixed this problem. I called the customer support and she said that they were aware of the issue and that it’s been escalated. And soon after, I checked back and surely it’s letting me deauthorize.

Holy crap! Google decided to put an artificial restriction on how many devices I can deauthorized per year without giving ANY notice!

Thank a lot! Now because of GOOGLE’S inefficient method of determining individual devices, I have 4 Galaxy Nexus’s, 2 Xooms, 2 HTC G2s, and 2 of the SAME COMPUTER. Let’s just hope I don’t buy a new f***ing phone this year or I don’t break one.

Oh and I guess upgrading my computer is also out of the question.

For f**k sakes! How do you see this as a valid restriction? They have just rendered their product useless to the only crowd that was using it!

Don’t let the carriers fool you. We pay for tethered internet because we pay for 5GB’s of data. And how I choose to use it is none of their business. Tethering should be treated no differently than me watching YouTube videos on my phone.

They just cross the line of creepy. At least Google makes it clear why it’s showing my friends in search results. If my friend +1’s a page about the topic I am searching for, then it’s clear that they have interest in that topic.

Bing is just building profiles of people and telling me what they think my friends are interested in without me having any control over that. That is over the line.

As the geek/tech in my group of friends, I don’t want every “Why is my computer not working” search to redirect to my Facebook because it know’s I work with computers. Recommendations is the way to go on this. This is the genius of +1s. Google doesn’t post them publicly or do anything about them. It’s a simple gesture that may go unnoticed, or actually help a friend of mine 5 months from now when they happen to be searching the same topic.

People did like the competitors because it showed a bunch of irrelevant information, but this is actually useful.

If I search “Lost”, I would like to know the cast, and general information on it, so long as it doesn’t intrude on my results. Most of the time, when I search for something that general, I am just looking for the IMDB or Wiki of it anyways. Why not get that information to me even earlier?
