Me and my friend both have a galaxy nexus. Running 100% stock 4.0.2
Same baseband same version number blah blah blah...
I had his phone earlier and noticed his music app was now called play music but mine was still just music.
I tried to search for the app on the market but it doesnt show up.
If i go on the market from a PC it shows up and says its compatible with my device.
I then noticed that my play movies was missing from my app drawer.
Again i loaded up market and there it was but it says installed!!!
I clicked on the app and it says update. I click update and it just says "error your order is being processed" and then it never updates.
I can open the app from the market but it doesnt show up on my phone at all.
It wont even show up if i go into setting>apps> and look under the all apps tab.
Can anyone help me out with this? What the hell is up with my phone???
Have you tried to clear the Google Play (Market) cache? Rebooted phone?

Yeah i cleared google play store cache and data and turned phone off for 30 minutes while i was working and its still the same.
Try getting 'market enabler' and temporarily spoofing the T-mobile network (US), then see if your able to update.
Update...
I logged onto the market through my PC and it let me install the play movies app to my device no problem.
The play music app though says installed and if I click to install again it says it will be installed but it never does.
This must be available in the UK because my friend has it on his device running exact same firmware as me...
Why the hell won't this thing install!!?!?!?!?

Google Music is not available in the UK yet. The app comes pre installed but is not available when looking at the market. If your having issues downloading or updating from the market then install it manually (apk here!)

So im supposed to have the purple headphones icon thats just called "music" right?
Not the gold headphones?
I just quizzed my friend about it to see if theres something hes not telling me and he swears hes still 100% stock and hasnt done anything to get the play music apk.
if you could just confirm that im supposed to have the purple headphones icon called music that would be great.
Thanks for replies guys really appreciated.
This Logo?
This is what the logo was until it was rebranded to Google Play Music. Which is now this logo
Both of these logos are for the same app, just different versions (with no actual feature differences).
Your friend may have had the newest version of google music pushed to his phone. This happened to me too. But don't worry, your not actually missing anything.

Yeah thats right i have the grey and orange icon ( sorry for some reason though it was purple ) and my friend has the gold icon.
LOL i have just noticed at the very bottom of the description of the app on the market it says available in the US only... Wish i read that earlier <<noob>>
I guess i just leave it then and see if it updates in its own time.
thanks for the replies you was very helpful.
Ill hit the thanks button when i get home. Im on a work computer that has 100 year old internet explorer on it so it doesnt display the page properly.
nope it's not only available in the us. I live in Germany and today I've got an update which installed play music play books and play movies. they don't work here either but I still got that update.

Thats interesting. Are you sure your not spoofing your carrier for the market? Otherwise Google might be rolling the app out outside of the states now
OK update...
The music app showed up in my market as an update just now so I have the play music version....
I still can't get the play movies to show up in the my apps part of the play store. If I search for the app manually it shows up and says installed. It just doesnt show up as installed in the my apps part.
And yeah they must be pushing the app out to other places now. I can't see how you sync though unless that's not available yet still for UK .

Are you talking about syncing your own collection via Google Music in the UK? It is possible because I've done it... and its awesome!! Just have a search on Google for 'google music uk' or something and I'm sure you'll find a tutorial. (Be warned, depending on your library size it may take a while to upload your music. Mine took about a month off and on)

I'm not too sure really. I can find it on the market so it's not a regional issue. Just find the apk online and install it manually. If you can't find it I'll be happy to upload it just let me know.

Nono,
I have the app installed no problem from the market.
The issue is if i go into the "my apps" part the app isnt listed as installed on my device.
But if i do a manual search for the app as if you was looking for something new to install it shows up in the list and says installed.
Im wondering why its not showing in the "my apps" part of the market?

Oh right. Well I just had a look on mine and I can't find it either. It could either be a bug within the market or a feature that google added (for some unthinkable reason). But I'd guess everyone has this issue. Nothing to worry about though really
I've just updated my nexus to jelly bean and its great but there's something I've noticed that the Google wallet and playbooks icons are visible in the app menu
And it says its available in Google play but I can't find the icons and I can't uninstall them so I can install them again
Anyone has this problem .
Updated from ICS 4.0.4 (with Google wallet and play books available )
To jelly bean
I didn't lock the device after installing jelly bean at bootloader screen ,should l lock it
The number of the jelly bean build is JRN84D
I too found the same problem after installing 'takju' and later updating to JB. Use the uninstall option from the play store and u will able to see the icons on your home screen, however on updating them again the icons gets hidden.

I've tried but the app appears to be installed from the play store but it does not appear in the apps at the settings
are you in the US? did you notice that it happened only after connecting to your wifi or when your sim is inserted?
check this video might should help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GIFsd2ehBM
I made the video at morning when I was going to sleep and quality is not really good because I recorded it via iPod..
if you are rooted and you want to remove play movies, etc. then remove them from system/app/ <---- folder

No I'm from Saudi Arabia and I noticed the problem after I've the OS so I thought I would find it in the play store
OK I think I found a way.
I went to the play store in the web
Entered with my account and found out that the apps in mention weren't installed so I installed them from the web and found the icons on the device.
But I don't know why it acted the way it did ,the important thing is that icons are visible
Well I tried the apps but it said its not supported in my country
The wallet app that I can understand but why the books app ?

ok!
I kinda have a similar problem, the icons just disappeared after getting my google account set up, probably since they're not supported in my country...
Anyways, I shall uninstall them.
Unsupported apps
I experienced the same after upgrading to JB here in Indonesia -- Play Books, Play Movies, and Wallet icons are not visible (annoyingly, when adding every Google account I get prompted if I want to set up Google Wallet -- what for, since there's no way to then launch the app?)
I remember the same happening when upgrading my Nexus One to Gingerbread -- to Google Voice. Thankfully Google hasn't decided to region-lock Google Voice and Google Play Music this time, only the latter.
If I remember correctly, the last time this happened, the fix is to install a *later* version of the affected applications on top of the system app that ships with the system ROM. as that is not available at the moment, I guess we're stuck for now. Does anyone know more?
well I updated to 4.1.1 and still no icons of wallet and play books or movies , so far I'm enjoying jelly bean and as long as I can use google wallet online , that's ok
Hello hello !
So, I got the 4.1.1 OTA for 2 days and I just realize I don't have the "What's the song" widget.
I've got the new Play Music, but I live in Belgium, so, as many other features, I don't have access to this widget.
Is there a way to unlock it so I can have it ?

@maicoalvim: this will only work if yoo have rooted your phone.
the nexus of my friend here in germany has these apps too, strange thing is, magazine, movies and music is not available in germany.
he updates his nexus through OTA.
i have updated my nexus manually (but with official ota zip file) and the apps + widget disappears.
i have flashed a factory image via fastboot (yakju 4.0.4) and flashed ota again (via update in android). after i do this multiple times the apps finally appears. (but no google play movies, but thats seemed to be normal)

Hello friends.
I discovered what the problem ...
It is the region. When I reseted the nexus and removed the SIM card, it worked the widget, to replace the SIM Card, the widget disappear ...
I edited the build.prop with something like these texts
ro.setprop.home.operator .....
ro.gsm.home.operator......
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung , etc.
and I was able to install Google Play Movies and to be able open it but still I can't install other Play apps..
when i use droidvpn then i can be able to install the apps only for a few hours but not the sound search widget, etc.
:/
Is there any way to hack some files to use the Google apps on unsupported countries?
can I defrost the goolge apps myself somehow without titanium?
The problem is not only the SIM card, he actually blocks the APP when it enables and configures a wifi network.
I did so, I removed the SIM card, did a master reset, then started.
And it was all there, play movies google, google books, widget "Whats the Song", google music etc ...
But when I configured the wifi on my nexus, apps disappeared like magic .... then the problem is limited by IP, geographic region, not just the SIM Card.
When he checks the IP as soon as he blocks where services do not exist.
But one fact makes me curious .... I have two friends, and their nexus in this problem does not happen ... only in my! : (
look this... my nexus after master reset.

Did you have a solution for this issue?
I even can't defrost it after a reboot. Titanium listed this app as uninstalled(with a strikethrough)
Your device have to be rooted to defrost it with Titanium.
Someone find a solution?
Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox "freeze" and "defrost" apps? What are they changing? I'm trying to figure it out so that someone can do it without one of those apps.
I am using the Antek App Manager. But every time I have to shut down the nexus, I have to redo the defrost.
Did anyone make it work?
I have a GNexus bought from play store in US, but live in India.
I can see the ES explorer's app manager listing the Play Books, Movies and Magazines as well as the What's the song widget. But, it cannot be opened.
Android's app list does not show these apps. So, there is no way to enable it w/o rooting, I guess.
But at least was any rooted user able to make it work?
Fire OS 4.6.1 on unlocked GSM 32gig Fire Phone
Notable changes,
Finally we have native wallpaper support
Different slightly improved lock screen notifications
Smart dialer
Ability to switch default SMS/MMS and Keyboard apps
New Dev. Options
Ability to force quit and(or) Disable bloatware apps
Widgets seem to be working well
More detailed settings for Low Motion/Dynamic perspective(specifically for lockscreen, homescreen, and maps)
Google maps is now seemingly 100% functional
Ability to toggle switch cellular data(2g,3g,LTE)
Google Play and GAPPs still working well
Also we now have a bluetooth keyboard config. in our settings
New Emoticons
Status bar is semi-transparent and looks really nice despite lack of persistent icon notifications
Addition of print services pack(HP, Canon, Epson)
Updated Sounds and Notifications settings(
Things that sadly remained the same
No status bar notifications
Cannot individually clear calls or messages from carousel
Still not native android
Notifications seem hit and miss as usual
No Graphical updates or graphical setting in stock message or dialer apps
Camera seems to be the same and I'm still having having better luck with the google camera
App drawer functions the same(new options in app info though)
Overall function of the O.S. seems to improve a lot. Smooth scrolling through the carousel, less if not no lag at all on sleep/wake, and just all in all more pleasing to look at.
I updated manually by downloading the .bin and moving it to the home folder and searching for update with wifi/data off, and because of that I am unsure if the new att bloatware apps were part of the update due to my carrier or if they were packaged inside the update bin which was a shocking 1.3gb. Even though I am fairly certain that those apps are my fault in the first place I feel the need to warn that the U.S. att .bin file could have that affect and unlocked users may want to wait for the OTA just to play it safe. There is however a great guide on here explaining the process and linking quite a few files(for those who can't wait).
**This did work for me however if it does not work for you I am not at fault, sideload at your own risk**
Feel free to add what you find I know I missed a few things but since there is no apparent changelog from amazon I figured I'd try to compile a small unofficial changelog of sorts.
Tried Towelroot Its been hung at the towelroot screen with a highlighted "make it rain" button for about ten mins... I'm going to leave it running for a while and see if anything happens but I'm assuming its still a no go.
I've seen issues regarding call audio, google services and a few other things but I personally haven't been able to recreate them and fortunately haven't had them in the first place.
Camera seems faster in taking photos for me. Also there is an auto HDR setting, before it was either on or off.

So, matsnackson do you think that is better to install (sideload) the Google-Camera APP, and used it instead of the default Amazon Camera APP?
Could you please, let us know what differences or improvements do you have noticed, if you use the Google Camara APP instead of the Amazon one?

I've been using the stock camera app for a few days and it seems to be better than I first thought but I still prefer the google camera app, but at this point it seems to be my personal preference... I really just feel more comfortable with the google camera app.(long time nexus user)
I have seen quite a few people with the google play issues and I tried removing then reloading google services and google play but i havent had any issues the only advice i can give is to remove and try again making sure to pay close attention to the order you install the packages(there is a specific order, and a few great guides on here)
The LG watch seems to be common issue as well but I don’t have one to test with, I'll look into buying one and see what I can do. Until then the only advice I have is to unpair the watch and your phone and reboot before attemting to repair the two. Good luck and sorry.

Honestly I don't think this is intentionally being done by either side, we run an outdated version of android so naturally were going to see at least a few compatibility issues, have you tried a factory reset and full reload of play services in order? Also be patient with 4.6.1 from everything I've read its not technically official on the unlocked phones yet.

I'm looking forward to the update. I feel changing your keyboard is a few months late, but I'd be happy to finally have swiftkey back. I'm running an unlocked Fire Phone with 3.6.8. Amazon doesn't even acknowledge a new update on their Fire Phone update page. Perhaps it's in some sort of beta as they harvest data before making it official?

That was cleared up in the OTA thread this is unofficial at this point those who have it either got lucky or manually installed it, I personally used the at&t bin file even though I have the unlocked 32gig.

hi. when i download whatsapp from google play store or through website its wont show up after installing ...any help ?
from amazon store whastapp version is outdated.so its also not work
I'm stuck on this too. It said the whatsapp version is outdated and the app is disabled. The amazon appstore does not have an updated version either,
Same.... Stupid fire phone, I'm debating what phone I want to jump ship for.
But I did find that if you install the APK from the google play store, it prompts if you want to run the app after installing it. When you run it, it shows up in your recent apps on the horizontal bar of previously opened apps. You can lock it in place there, but it won't show up in your app drawer. Go figure though, did we really expect support for a dead phone?
I just installed from play store and it shows up OK. I'm using a third party launcher though. Are you all on stock - if so, why? Or on a different Rom?

Same.... Stupid fire phone, I'm debating what phone I want to jump ship for.
But I did find that if you install the APK from the google play store, it prompts if you want to run the app after installing it. When you run it, it shows up in your recent apps on the horizontal bar of previously opened apps. You can lock it in place there, but it won't show up in your app drawer. Go figure though, did we really expect support for a dead phone?

I think the problem all of you are having is that you have a copy of WhatsApp in your Amazon cloud. If you delete the app from your Amazon cloud apps and re-install WhatsApp from Google Play, the app's icon should also be installed.
