[Q] Get Games App No Longer Works After Flashing to UK 2.33

Ever since I flashed my Rogers Xperia Play with the stock UK 2.33 firmware whenever I go to the get games app on my phone and try to download a game it just takes me to the developers website.
For example, in the Get games app, there is an icon that says "free EA Games," when I click on it it opens my browser and takes me to a blank page that just says "navigate, home,help,about."
the exact address is "vip.accumulate.se/gstore/eaoem/home.page?s=31"
This then forced me to download need for speed shift on the Android Market for $1.99 but when I try to play it it does not respond to the controller only touch screen.
I posted a picture below of what I'm seeing when I go to the EA website after clicking on the Get games app.

My best guess is because the games stores are region specific so it is trying to access store in the UK rather than Canada.

Thank god someone had an answer. So what do I do? How do I get the Canadian "Get Games" app? Someone I'm sure has already upped the rogers firmware 2.33 but I don't want to reflash the phone. I just want the Get Games App for Canadian Xperia Play Users.

Have u removed any bloat ware? If u have the reflash? Do u have a google account? Then open one. If this still does not work flash to 2.3.4.
Goodluck

Bro read what i typed properly. This has nothing to do with a Google account or bloat ware or flashing to 2.3.4. I flashed to stock UK 2.33 to get back root. Then i did an over the air update to the 2.33. The problem is what the person before you said. It's trying to connect to the UK server and not the Canadian one. So I want to get the Canadian "Get Games" app

I tried that. I don't think it is the browser, I think it is where the browser is being directed.

Can someone get me the get games apk for north america? Preferably the roger canada one.

This may not fix your problem, but the Market Enabler app lets your change your region. If it's not working because it doesn't recognize that you're on a Rogers network, then that might fix it.

That never worked. I guess I will just have to flash back to Rogers 2.33 and see if i can save the get games app apk and then reflash to uk 2.2 an install it on there. All this just to get need for speed shift and NOBODY on XDA has a solution. AMAZING.

Anyone can help

Why don't you try using a PC to get need for speed and send it to your phone that way? Instead of going through a bunch of flashing, seems like a bunch of unnecessary work for a game that isn't very good to begin with

perhaps you deleted a required system app
this should be in Q+A i believe
what rom you using? stock? rooted? bootloader unlocked?

try removing and readding your google account - helped me twice when i was unable to download new apps.
Hope it helps

"My account " app

Hello everyone
I think I have deleted "My account " app or widget (I don't know what it is)
So now, will I get the ICS update, or not?
I'm on stock everything, except for some deleted bloatware.
I am a n00b, so please someone help me with this.
Thanks for reading this.

My account doesn't have anything to do with the update. You'll get ics when you get it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

u can just download my account in the market if u did delete it. also it has nothing to do with u getting ics or not. like what the other guy said above me.

Thank you very much for your help.
If I don't need it, I will not download it.
I gest received the unlock code from T-MO and the rep. couldn't find my EMEI # so I had to give it to him "manually". But he did get my wife's # automatically.
I guess "My account " app has something to do with it.
Thanks again

.gapps constantly crashing

So when I am just doing whatever, my phone locks up and a message saying (somgthing).gapps has either stopped working or has crashed. It happens typically once a day. I can be on Facebook, or the Google play store and when I tap a button, that happens. Any idea? I am stock ROM, but rooted. I'm assuming you guys will need more info, I'm just not sure what to say that could help.

More info is definitely needed.
1.) What ROM and Kernel are you using?
2.) Have you done any modifications to the said ROM or kernel?
3.) What gapps package are you using?

Try clearing data for Google framework

If you have CWM installed try fixing permissions.

Go into settings
Accounts and sync
Find your Google account
Turn off Internet sync
Give it a try it worked for me!

This. Try Google first, there are many threads on this already. Internet sync worked for me so try that before you start clearing all sorts of data like me lol

I'll give that a shot and see if it crashes anymore. What does that disable? Chrome syncing I'm assuming? I guess just the tabs?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Thank you! Any idea what that even does? Since I disabled Internet sync I haven't had the .gapps crash once!

Google now no longer does the following:

So for a little while now I've noticed Google now is no longer doing the things it use to:
1. It use to notify me how many minutes home is from my current location. It no longer does.
2. It use to notify me how many minutes an appointment was and when I should leave to be on time. It no longer does
3. Listen to/play <song title> use to play music on my device or YouTube. This no longer works.
Anybody know why these stopped working?
I'm on stock (Rogers ) ROM with all apps up to date.

Just an idea, maybe you did this but if not its worth a try. Go into settings/application manager/google and hit force stop. Now clear cache, data, and defaults. Now hit uninstall updates, and when done re-install the updates and run app. This should give you a fresh start I believe and this could allow you to set all your options over and give you the origional operation you had before. Im not a pro so I cant guarentee this but it cant hurt, its not a dangerous operation anyway. Good luck!
