Develop Bugs

Guys i need help this is really weird.

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

Google wallet for Verizon is possible.

So I've read all the post about Verizon Gnex not being able to get Google wallet. Has anyone tried it recently? It first happened when I was rooted I was able to update Google wallet from the market after side loading the application. So I decided to test it, I unrooted my Gnex and went to factory image 4.0.2 and it seems as if I can now download it from the market. Is this happening for anyone else?

Downloading it directly from the play store? No you haven't.
FWIW, I don't see it in the play store though. Although I have it installed anyway.

you can download it from the play store, but you have to go in a round about way. you have to user the browser to find the app, and keep using the browser until you are going to install it and then you pick google play.
thats how i did it and it installed fine on my vzw GN.

Another back door
Found another back door. I regularly use GoLauncher EX, which has it's own store. Through it I have was able to insall/update the app. Oddly, it directs me to the Play Store directly from the GoLauncher EX update notification where I was able to install.
Upon completion, I changed my launcher back to stock, went into the play store, and had to log in (? strange, right?), and was unable to bring it up in search results, and it did not show in the "installed" column of My Apps. It DID however show as installed, under the all apps section. Not sure if I'll be able to use it, or if my phone will self-destruct upon NFC tap. I'll update when I try it out.

I'm pretty sure Wallet is just available in market now for Gnex. At least, I'm able to just search it and install it now. I've done it multiple times over the past few months.
Edit: just checked, and it's NOT showing up in market now for me... but it IS still installed and working. I used it no more than an hour ago at Jack in the Crack.
Maybe Google tampered with it today.

or if you are just looking for it or rooted and need the one that now works and doesn't give UNSUPPORTED device error. I found one last month on here, can't remember where since there are like 6 different ones floating around. I posted my dropbox link so you can grab a working one.
How to install:
1) Use ADB, adb push it to /system/app
2) Use RootExplorer and paste it to /system/app

Google wallet and Google play books icons

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

No Google Now after 4.3

I have been running 4.1.2 for a long time and google now always worked fine. When the 4.4 home screen apks came out I installed them and was really enjoying having google now as a homescreen page. Last week I installed the ditto note rom and ever since then I can not get google now to work, I have tried everything that I have found when searching (Why doesn't xda search support speech marks though?) Last night I did a super wipe and installed pheonix rom but still the problem persists. What am I doing wrong?
Since installing DN3 I have tried:
changing language to english us - still no google now
changing to english uk and downloading offline data - still no google now
clearing google search app data - still no google now
upgrading google search to lastest version - still no google now
downgrading to dn3 default version - - still no google now
installing 4.4 apks - still no google now
super wipe and install phoenix rom - still no google now (shouldn't superwipe kill any possibility of it being something on phone that did it?)
languages again - still no google now
installing launcher enabler - still no google now
So is it one of the following?
Google decided that an English speaker in China doesn't get google now anymore? On the exact day I upgraded my rom?
I'm being punished for installing the 4.4 apks early?
These two roms don't support google now?
superwipe isn't super?
Google now was bad for me and the universe is staging an intervention?
Please help

Hmmm.. looks like it must be something similar to how location reporting got disabled for many countries.. For a company that talks so much about transparency I sure wish they would explain why they are disabling these features that used to work fine simply because I happen to be in another country. Is it an international law thing?

It makes me really uupset to. I know that google now/voice search requires active location settings... I think the Chinese government demanded that googole disable location tracking for internal security (closed market/monopoly),,,,
I dont want to see maps blocked here s I guess it is a balancing act. I hate to see the other features of googe blocked....

From what I can tell it works perfectly fine if you set it up from an earlier version of google search.. For me that means probably a reflash without install search then finding an earlier apk version to initialize it.. Will report back on progress..

Success!
What worked for me was:
I reflashed the rom I was using but chose not to install google search as a system app. You could just try to remove the app with Titanium, it should have the same effect.
On first boot I didn't sign in to google at all. Instead I first installed the search2.6 apk from the below link.
Then I opened google play and signed in and quickly went to turn off auto update.
Then I opened google search and it asked me to opt-in to google now.
Once it was all running I went back to google play and let it update and also installed the launcher enabler app.
Hope this helps someone.

[Q] uk 3.6.6 are we stuck without google services

i like many other bought this on sale day under the assumption that i would be able to get google play store and services on.
this however doesnt look the case as we are on 3.6.6
does this look like we are doomed forever without it
any help to myself and others would be most grateful
thanks in advance

Yes, we are stuck. I installed 3.5 AT&T but doesn´t work either. The only thing I could get is Swiftkey

I've been able to successfully install Google play services, account manager and the services framework previously. Managed to get apps such as YouTube, gmail and others to run without crashing. Problem is, I used specific versions and I can't remember which ones they were ? I'm trying to find out what I did right and then I can document it so I won't forget again lol. Bare with me.
Google play store is a no go on 3.6.6 though. Use 1mobile or something instead.

Thanks, but... It didn't work. I tried that this morning and it didn't allow me to install even 1 of the apks
Thanks anyway

does this require root to the device

thanks for any replies , forgot to add this
thanks

The method that lu1gj3s posted above would require rooting, as that's the same method for all Kindle Fire tablets. As for the Fire Phone I assume it's the guaranteed to way to make it work
Has anyone tried Baidu root or something similar? I think I'll give it a try tomorrow and then go through the method of putting Google Play on again

no haven't messed on that much with it yet as I am waiting for a couple of nano sims to arrive for the 2 that I bought. im not that bothered about the play store itself but more about maybe gmail, google chrome and you tube. As I have a nexus 4 now I am pretty used to google being a part of everything i use plus it works well with my chromebook

Well as you've had people say that the downgrade to 3.5 from 3.6.6 works I guess I'll give it a try
But no harm in trying Baidu Root first

Can you update to 3.6.8? In that version there's no problem with Google Apps

ya same here 3.6.6 no google play
ya im in Ireland got phone for 99pound need google play badly need to update to 3.6.8

If anyone hasn't yet figured out that play store won't work on any version of 3.6.6 haven't even tried to solve the problem by looking it up.
I've got it all working but every now and then get play services have stopped coming up on my phone (if anyone knows how to get rid of that let us know, thanks). I've used blackmart but most of all I use aptoide for all my apps. What I have noticed as well any apps that confirm purchases with play store load up.
I have to say, the fire phone with Google services and gapps is 1 of the best phones out. I think it's great and while they've hacked the price, I'd hope more devs would invest more time in to roms and other goodies. £99 you'd have to be stupid not to get 1.

+1 here..
"google services framework has stopped"
the process "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped
Have tried numerous guides to get this to work on 3.6.6 and none of them work for me, and yes i've looked it up
If not how about being helpful and providing a link or copy and pasting the guide that works?, GoogleFu isnt working out for me.
All the youtube guides and plagiarised articles i can find all reference the same method that doesn't work out.
Alternatively they recommend moving them to system apps which you cant do unless you're rooted and that would mean a downgrade to 3.5
