Hi, I've done a google and forum search, and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd post a topic and see if anyone else is having the same problem as me.
So the problem is after updating to JPM the live wallpaper for google maps is no longer an option in the live wallpaper gallery. I've tried uninstalling google maps and reinstalling the updates, but no go. Is there anyone out there that knows a fix?
Noticed this on JP6 too
Yeah im missing the wallpaper to, oh well its not like the gps worked anyway ;p

same problem on 2.2 JPK and still no solution?
Same here, in Italy, with Italian Galaxy S updated 2.1 -> 2.2 :-(
... and also with a SonyEricsson Xperia X10 updated from 1.6 to 2.1
Still no solution?? Or a notice from Google??
I mean: Android is from Google; Maps is from Google... who better then Google can give an answer?
If they break their own apps with their own OS ugrades.... :-S

Hi Folks,
Have seen reviews recommending updating asap to 4.1 but how do you do it? i cant find Google maps in the market place..
Is there an option in the pre installed app to look for updates? Checked version info and it says 4.0
Cheers,
Mick
go to market, then downloads and see what updates are available
i'm on 4.1.1 (#4156) gmm-android-htc
its not in my downloaded list though as it was on the phone when i got it..
It was at the top of the popular free apps for me saying update available, along with the facebook app.
Easiest way is to search Google Inc on the market the inc makes all the diff, picking out googles specific applications first before broadening the terms.
Cheers,

Via the market just download and it will update
nope.. when i search for Google inc.. the first app back is Google Sky Map.. but no sign of maps.. maybe its cause i'm in south or ireland or something? i cant find beebplayer either.. but i assume thats due to location also?

You in Ireland or the UK?
I am in Ireland and I see no update to Maps available. And a search for google inc just show sup sky map. no maps. I think the Irish market app is different. (crap)
If you're in Ireland why don't you install the BRUT version? Gives you the same features and also Nav!

Will this work on the Desire? Also, as I understand the reason we don't have navigation in the UK version is because of some copyright/legal issues - If we install this will the Navigation actually work?
Thanks.

You have to install something else as well, but the speech doesn't work as yet on it. Didn't for me anyhow.
Make sure you have 2.1 Android otherwise Maps 4.1 won't work anyhow.
Doesn't matter now as it's out officially in version 4.1.1.
Well, I've turned on my Desire this morning, and performed the daily search for the Paypal app. There it is.
Tapatalk, and all the rest of the protected apps are now available on the generic ROM it seems!
Great news!
EDIT - All except Google Earth it seems.
I can see those two, but not Google Earth?
T-Mobile here.
I also see the applications you mention, but I still only see free apps?

I did actually, but missed it somehow.
Anyway, it's still news to some, obviously.
No worries, as the OP in the other thread I can understand how excited you were!
Seems to be a lot of demand for Google Earth. I've attached it if you guys want it.
But yes, Its not on the market on Vodafone either. Sounds like it might of been pulled altogether
KYI
Cheers for Google Earth!
Thx for the upload. Needs 23 mb rom lol. Root plz...
Oh come on, no paypal app for me in the market, strange
Argh, I cannot see the Paypal app!
I have an unbranded/unlocked Desire with the latest stock ROM (1.15.405.4) and I've set my locale to "English (United States)" with MoreLocale2. (doesn't work either with the "English (France)" settings)
UK Desire on T-Mobile, branded- have access to protected apps - and can see paypal app on market
I tried the install from #7 but I get 'there is a problem parsing the package'.
I have Google Earth, I always did have Google Earth.
Infact it was one of the first apps I installed on 27/03, I only just got protected apps today (I knew because I downloaded a copy of Abduction World Attack off the internet (it is an app I purchaed) and today I got prompted there was an update (it wasn't in my market before))
Edit: Just to add, I did also once have to do a reset and was able to redownload earth from the market again.
Most apps are showing up now in the market for me. Still can't see Google Earth though.
Here is some interesting news re "Market"

now we have "protected" apps, can anyone suggest some ones we're missing out on?
I made a search but couldn't find a similar topic on xda or Google. I started using latitude today via Google maps but noticed that I don't a widget called "Latitude" on my desire.
Any idea why this is the case ? It should present, right ?
I don't know if there is a specific latitude widget (I haven't found one), but if you go into (google) maps and press the menu button, you get an option for latitude.....
Hope this helps

Yes I am using that, but there is also latitude widget. I found out that the widget comes with the new google maps (v 4.1), however in my country the application is not present in market section due to the licencing ang legal stuff (according to an announcement by google). Which is very odd because I am using google maps w/o problem, workes flawlessy. why can't I update it, beats me ?
I need to find free app maps 4.1 and install it. Hopefully thw widget will come.

Did you noticed that samsung apps has 2 more widgets? BBC News and BBC Sports? Only on Eclair, because today I have upgraded to Froyo, and there are no more. If anyone can post them here, for the Froyo owners it will be nice.

It probably means they won't run on Froyo.
someone post them please, to test them
Well BBC app is useless... not sure what it is. It installed and I even backed up with appmanager and titanium. After install there is no open option and no Icon anywhere to be found. Removed and reinstalled... still no way to launch it. Ah widget will try again

if you have them, please upload them here. 10x
bbc news for you
thank you sir!
can you, please, upload also the bbc sports widget?
will do
here it is since i am in the u.s .dont give a crap. but installed.. to backup so i could get .apk and then removed just for you.
Thank you very much!
Hey guys, I have a MotoDefy with the original 'blurred' 2.1-update1 android on it (rooted, and I use launcherpro, but I don't think either one matters), and I just can't set my facebook account on it. If I try to add an account, and click on facebook, nothing happens. The facebook widget works, so I really have no idea what's going on. Help, please, any ideas?
Yeah, mine did the same. First time I clicked Facebook it took me to a Facebook page, I logged in, the app works but the Facebook account doesn't work. From the second attempt on, nothing happens when I try to add a Facebook account. I think you have the same greek Defy that you can find in Romania too and, from what I know, these are not actually "blurred", they lack the motoblur account functionality.
Sorry...
i definitely have a blurred firmware, all other blur functions work, and i see a process in the task manager called 'motoblur services'. you sure yours is 'deblurred'? btw i'm from hungary so it's possible that we have the very same firmware, and this thing with the facebook account is a bug. looking forward to the 2.2 update, hope they fix this

this happens for me also. I have an indian version of defy. I think this problem is there for all android 2.1 facebook syncing. Lets wait till 2.2 comes.
And btw indian version doesnt have blur i guess!
but if every defy with 2.1 on it, why didn't i find anybody complaining about it? and how do you know yours is not blurred?

There is an app T-mobile social buzz that can synchronise facebook and other contacts. First you have to download market enabler and fake your on t-mobile.

May be you can try to remove the facebook app and install it from the market.
What is your firmware version?
I can't uninstall the facebook app, looks like it's built into the software. (and I checked in the market, it's up to date, so i doubt that it's the source of the whole thing). My software version is 2.34.1, should I update? Could that solve my problem?
Fist of all 2.34.1 is not a blurred fw, there some blur services but you can not create blur account and you can not syncronize Facebook with contacts.
Blur missing from all CEE versions.
But Facebook app should work. You can remove it with Titanium Backup, or you can try to upgrade your fw to 2.51.1.
