Google Play Store is asking me to update an app called Google Pinyin. It is an input method (apparently primarily for Chinese characters) but I can't figure out why it is on my Nexus 7. Anyone familiar with it? Could it be connected to 7Note?

Same thing happened to mine. I had pinyin activated on my phone, so i'm thinking the settings got transfer over?

Pinyin is mainly used in China, I think for EN/EU users, you don't have to update this, and you could even uninstall update/disable it.
its a ASUS thing, they someone managed to put this IME on a supposedly clean Nexus rom
it got under the radar because it is blessed by google
disable it
I just uninstalled updates and disabled it. It is of no use to me for I don't speak Chinese.
Did you guys install the PDANet Drivers or use the Google Nexus 7 ToolKit v1.1 to root and/or unlock? My Nexus 7 did not have Pinyin on it until I tried to root it tonight and it didn't show up until I installed the PDANet Drivers and the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit.
Hooray for Titanium Backup! Friendly bloatware remover! :]
I had that and a Korean keyboard pre-installed.. both are long gone...
This randomly downloaded itself onto my nexus 7 this morning - understock there is no way to uninstall it - thank god for root.
You did nt happen to install the London olympic app did you? That's when I noticed it was there

It was one of the first apps I uninstalled as soon as I had root!

I doubt it, i didn't install the olympic app and i had korean keyboard and pinyin.
I also had a Japanese IME, began with an "i" but I can't remember the name.
Uninstalled all 3 via Titanium Backup.
I am not rooted and have not installed any Olympic apps. I did install 7Note with Mezac. Did not notice Pinyin until after that thus my reason for asking if they were connected. In all fairness, however, I was not looking for Pinyin and wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't started asking to be updated. For all I know, it could have come out of the box with Pinyin installed as some have suggested. I have disabled it with no adverse affects thus far.

Pinyin!?
Got both NBC "London Olympics" apps and presto, there was the Pinyin app.
Bah!
Its just showing up for everyone yesterday at around the time you downloaded any app from the app store, it just threw that update in there, no matter what you installed. I am not rooted and cant get rid of it. Uninstalling the update erases it from the app drawer, but as soon as i download an app or update from Play, its back....
Like I mentioned on the thread in the QA forum , it's to save Google from having to manage localised versions of firmware images. You know, the world doesn't revolve around English as the only language. And no, Asus didn't put Pinyin there, Google did, because the app is by Google themselves. So stop getting all emo and xenophobic.
I actually use Google Pinyin myself, so I'm actually glad it's there by default.
It came on mine stock.It was there before I installed anything.Mine is korean however.

Chinese, Japanese and Korean IME ALL came with the stock ROM.
I actually have other issues, i don't mind google puts useless ime in the rom, but it removes/hides my books, magazines, movies when detecting my location (outside of usa)... sign...
The S2 and skyrocket (and possibly other S devices) have had a widget that directly ties into the TW framework and gives you a nice visual on how many apps you have running and if there is one running out of control.
I just installed it on my S3 running kyanROM and the widget worked, but it always said I had 0 apps running. It would, however, take you to the TW taskmanager when tapped on.
Would it be possible to get this working with our devices? I will attach the apk shortly for anyone needing it.
It should be attached now.
Fyi, it was extracted from the current Shostock ROM in the AT&T S2 forum.
Funny, I had an International S3 for a few days before I got my Att one. I downloaded that app through samsung apps. I wish I would have saved the .apk I have not found it again. It is out there in a working form for ICS though.

- I already tried to change my profile country on google account

If you can download but not install, try searching for an app on the play store to change your phone's locale to the US and see if that helps.

Hi , can anyone tell me if there is a way to get rid of the annoying " your device is not compatible with this version" writing? Because i want to play games like Blood of Gloty or Eternity Wariors 2 and i actually cant because the writing pops up ... Is there a way to actualy get rid of it or just Desire is too old already?

i think is too old....
With an app called Lucky Patcher, you can patch the Play Store, so that any app is compatible.
Google it.

-then copy the apks onto your phone and install them
I want to keep google talk and not update (or as i see it downgrade) to the hangouts app. Does anyone know of a way to prevent it from appearing in the play store "my apps" list? I've tried using titanium backup to detach/remove from market with no success. I know I can just deal with seeing it in that list but figured i'd ask.
edit: using "detach from market" in titanium does work, but only until i reboot the phone. upon reboot it will show up again and i can go and detach again. so getting closer to a perfect solution; i feel like that may be as good as it gets. any other ideas appreciated though!
Uninstall your present GTalk and install GTalk from an external source then make it a system app if you want. This may stop showing you updates as you haven't downloaded GTalk from the Play Store.

U can find a Gtalk on mobilism and then convert it to a system app as Sherlock said above. I've had system apps still connect to play store before also, but that's ur best bet.
