[Q] sgs2 not compatible with Google Maps 5.7.0

Hi,
I try to update Google Maps to version 5.7.0, but Android Market claims that "This app is incompatible with your android."
regards

I got update notification from Market itself. I chose to update and it works well. Not sure why it is giving you this error.

I installed after using Market Enabler and changing the country to USA.

Thanks, problem solved.

Just had the same thing - strange.
Used market enabler to fake location but no joy.
found the apk here
Installed fine and seems to work perfectly

why is it not compatible in the first place??
the sgs2 has the fantastic hardware (dual core and ample ram) and the latest android version.
why slower phones able to support but not the s2?

There is no problem with the phone! It's perfectly compatible with the latest google maps version.
It's a problem of some locations, as not all locations have access to the latest google maps version. Android market will check your location first and if it is not entitled for an upgrade you will get this error message.
The workaround is to fake your location as mentioned in previous posts.

I'm on 5.9.0 which was pushed through the market. No probs! BTW, I'm in the Netherlands.

Here is the cause of my problem - running a DPI that differs from the norm

for me was the dpi. Change to stock (240dpi) and everything is fine

I doubt that's the issue. I run 210dpi and i can install it through the market. Even if the online (desktop) market says 'incompatible with your device' you can still search it and install.

Help: Market enabler for installing apps which say 'not supported in your country'

I've Galaxy nexus, and the market is updated to Play store (latest android market). I've Codename Android ICS version installed. Need help installing apps from Play store which say "Not supported in your country". I installed 'Market enabler', and pointed it to T-mobile US, Verizon US, but still no use. Can someone please help me with this?

Having the same issues here ..

You should probably email the app creator instead of asking here...

I was asking if there's any alternative for market enabler which works with Play store...plz suggest

theres no alternative to that just yet...
if you really just want to uninstall apps just do it thru settings > apps ot download titanium backup and uninstall them from there

It worked for actually buying the apps ?
or just displaying them ?

to purchase apps you need to have a Google wallet account registered somewhere that actually supports purchasing apps from the market.

Hi I have a question following what you said. I have a friend who wants to buy a app but he can't do it in his country. He said he found the .apk but somehow it still could not work. So I was thinking maybe he needs Market enabler. If he has it and I buy the app and give him the .apk file, could he then install the app?
Thanks

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!)

Really????
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

Apps keep disappearing in the store

Hi,
Recently my galaxy nexus has been behaving strangely. For some reason, when I search for certain apps (e.g. Imdb, friendcaster etc etc) they do not appear in my searches.
If I visit via the direct link, it says this application is not compatible with your device
If I reflash my ROM and kernel, the market works fine for a little while..then the above problem reappears
I have also tried clearing market cache and data, but this does not solve the problem
Any ideas?

Most common error: stop changing your density or don't install a rom with changed density.

I used "fix market compatibility" within LCD monitor pro which installed a spoof 320dpi market. I can now find all apps, although I'm slightly worried about the safety of this spoof market

Same thing happened to me the other day. Went to download Titanium Backup in the market after flashing Driven. Couldn't find it. Had to download it from the web. I go today to search for it and it is there in the play store. Strange.

So use the real Play Store and return your density to stock.

But after using the phone at 241dpi I could never go back to 320dpi.. it just looks so bad
Weirdly if I temporarily change dpi to 320 and then use the stock store.. apps still don't appear. Using the spoof store is the only thing that seems to work

... then you just have to deal with it? lol. I don't understand the complaint. You know how to fix the problem, but you refuse to do so, so then you have to deal with the spoof store. There ya go.

[APP]Google Maps latest version

Installing Google Maps is a regular problem for me, because everytime that a new version comes up, i'm unable to download it because of restrictions in my country (Chile).
It's not easy to find the latest version (at the moment of this writing i think it's 6.8.0) .
If someone can upload the updated apk i'll be very pleased.
The most recent version that i can found searching the internet was the 6.6 so, if it's useful to somebody the link is here:
REMOVED
If there's a method to avoid country limitations please tell me, because Market Enabler and similars are not working anymore.
Thanks!

Latest maps, unzip it, install, This is version 6.8.0
124 views and nobody uploaded maps? Weird.

I can't see maps in google play, or in my apps (on google play), but you can update it like this:
Go to maps, settings, what's new, update.

I don't know if there's a special way to do it, but a long time ago Market Enabler stops working for me.
Sometimes i'm able to see the apps that i normally can't see, but i cannot install them.

I updated mine this way. Market then my apps then slide to the right for "all" then scroll down for Google maps, it will be there.

do u read about "maps is not available on some countries" ? lol
anyway with market enabler should work fine

You need to keep market enabler enabled at all times, at least i do and it works.

I make it a habit of running it and selecting T-Mobile US every time my phone reboots and before connecting online. Let it change your APN, then it will always work. Also replace your Play Store vending apk with the mod version, then you should be good. If you need to buy any app, open the app page in the browser.

Probably because Google can hit XDA with a cease and desist and cause all sorts of trouble. You are not allowed to distribute google apps.

Oh ok thanks for the tip, OP you can just PM me.

MAPS updates are available from the Play store
Thanks
