I have the problem in the title. Of course, all the pre-loaded Google apps do not show in the Markeet downloads and they don't auto-update or show update notifications. I managed to install Youtube, Gmail and a few others by visiting the Market and installing them over the original pre-loaded app (I guess). Now I can find them in Markiet downloads.
The problem I have now is with Google Maps. It's not in the Market downloads, since I never downloaded it from there. But I can't even find it when I search the Market, I can't access any links or barcodes (the result will be "The requested item could not be found"), there seems to be no way for my phone to access a link for downloading Google Maps.
I have the original ROM, no root, and in the Google Maps About section I see "Version: 4.5.1 (#4665) gmm-android-htc". Is it an HTC version of Goole Maps?
What can I do? Do I need an .apk file? Why would this app be forbidden from showing up in Market for my phone? Maybe it's my phone region, but I doesn't make sense.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
These are market glitches and iv had times even on rooted phones with the market not showing certain apps that DO exist. What i did was reinstall the Google bundle apps but since your not rooted i am not quite sure what you can do but wait? or maybe a cache clean or a factory reset if all else fails
... or go settings, apps, running, find market, force stop, clear data. God knows if it'l help at all but always worth a shot.

Bingo! Not available in Romania yet I used temproot and MarketEnabler to get it.
Install the one from http://www.mediafire.com/?54mn0zw747vc1sh - I just got it from my phone.
@ddotpatel,aznsnake666 - Tried clear data, clear cache, etc. but it didn't work.
@keinengel - So I guess you have the same problem. Downloaded the file, it works! But I wonder why Google Maps isn't available for Romania?!?!? Thanks!

Go to androidpolice.com, find maps post on front page, scan QR code.

Yup, same problem. I think we need to gang up on Vodafone and get them to sign an agreement with Google for paid apps - maybe that'll fix it.
Google Maps was pre-installed in my ROM, so looking in the Market I could still see it though it wasn't showing as "Installed".
I simply clicked on "Install" and the new version overwrote the one in my ROM, and it works fine now.
I still don't get it... why is Google Maps availability depentent on region/carrier? It is a free app anyway. And since I paid for my phone which includes Google Maps, I think I should have access to updates too regardless of what country I'm in.
Hi,
First time i try roms on andriod and got it installed without to much hassle.
I have read alot of threads about problems but no one seems to have the same as me. I can use market and gapps installes without hassle through recovery.
I can not find the maps application anywhere. Feels like i have tried everything.
I have installed gmail from market, logged in to talk, installed different version of gapps from recovery.
Anybody has any tips on how to get maps back?
install market enabler, and search for google maps. you are probably in a country where there are some restrictions so choose any carrier from the US and it should work
im also in malaysia, i guess you got it installed this way?
tried market enabler but still did not find maps in market.
will look into this option more when i get off work.
thanks
hmm you should be able to find it, especially if you choose the T mobile carrier signal. i even managed to get it updated via the market with no problems
Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store
no luck.
Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.
What rom are you using?

okay last one that i think worked on me before:
- turn off internet first, then uninstall updates on Play store
- reselect language again,
- turn data/wifi on back, wait for Market to update to Play store
I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.
Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

Hello I'm Sorry if im making a new thread , I have a little problem over here

i also already clear the android google playstore data, removing, and readd my google account- Still.. Server Error
I've check the time and date and setting too, I even already use wifi to connect, but still Server Error
I already use the market enabler too
Please, can anyone help me how to fix this thing up, Ive already spent a whole day try to fix this thing, Thanks

Sounds to me like you need a edited gfs, that removes restriction. This link might help.

I think that wont work, because the problem is, my play store cant even show anything except a gray background with 2 words Server eror - retry
From what i got, the link you reccomend to me emphasize on how you remove restriction on some application in certain countries
in that case, their play store should be able to going further into the play store than me, which is can only look server-error retry
in Addition, i also have a samsung epic 4g and already injected with the same operator as my galaxy nexus does, however my samsung epic can access the play store without any trouble, so that means the problem is not the restriction in my country
Thats make me really confuse
Anyway, thanks for your response, i greatky appreciate that :good:
UPDATE:
I am already running on Jelly Bean Unofficial
I Already Reflash the gapps with Jelly Bean's Gapps
andd
The Play store keep showing "SERVER ERROR - RETRY"
This thing really got me frustrated
anyone have an answer for this? help me
SOLVED, Thanks All

Thank you bro, but can you explain how to flash sprint stock to verizon gnex?
Are you using full odin stock from sprint gnex?
Hey there!
On wednesday i purchased an fire phone.
Now i tried to get PlayStore to work. Installed it with The newest apk's and now here is the problem: i can log in and it sucesses,but i dont see any apps or categories in the Appstore. In the left side menue i see i am logged in.
Tried deleting cache, data and reinstalling.
Has anyone a fix for that problem?
Can you list the "newest" APKs (other than Play Store)?
Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play services?
I did a number of test runs with different scenarios for other people. Never had any problems with the Play Store itself, even on a s#itty, unrooted stock FireOS.
Account-manager 4.4.2. 940549
Store 5.4.12
Play-services 7.3.29(1866531-036)
Framework 4.4.2-940549
Got them from the thread in the general forum
These are not the latest versions, you should use Play Store 5.6.8 & Play services 7.5.74 (1997312-036).
Let the Play Store and Play services auto update themselves, restart (make sure they are updated by checking the version number in the "manage applications" menu) and try again.
I recommend using sites like APKmirror, since the info in threads / posts can be outdated rather quick.
Tried that, did not change anything. Log in works, but still no content showing up

Does it look something like this ? (Play store is actually running) If so, I've got exactly the same problem
Sent from my SD4930UR using XDA Free mobile app
I had this but a cache clear etc worked. I noticed the play store got updated very recently on my nexus. Might this update have screwed things up for fire phone?
Same as your image. If i swype from left to right, I can see I am logged in.
Tried cache clean and erasing data several times, nothing changes.
Ok, let's recollect. The easy stuff:
Force quit the google apps before 'clear cache' and 'clear data'?
Are you using two factor auth. / 2 step verification?
Turn 2FA off or generate an application specific password and try again.
Any other google apps installed before you tried the "Play Store Pack"?
TheMightyFid, you're using the 461013320 UK version of FireOS? sg94 which version are you using? Netlocked devices?
The majority of people had problems on the xxxxxx320 versions, the 461013820 version (US unlocked GSM) worked well.
I tried stock 461013320 today, with the same 4 files that worked flawlessly 2 days before on the 461013820. Same problem as you guys: Blank screen, even FC on google account manager.
If you guys don't have any additional information for us about changes to the OS (e. g. apps with significant influence on system behavior) then I would suggest trying the 461013820 version.
All images are multi language (regarding the UI & keyboard), so you could use the US version for an EU user / phone. You might run into problems using certain WiFi channels (e. g. CH 13) because of the WiFi country codes.
