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

[Q] Delete old Apps in Playstore?

Hey Guys.
Just wanted to ask, if there´s a possibility to delete old apps that are still shown in the playstore. want a better overview over my apps. there are still apps listed from older devices. want to clean up a bit, after a fullwipe i even would have got a better overview which apps to install.
thx in advance
l-viz

No, but they're the last apps shown.

They should at least give us a way to change how the list is organized.

I can't even see all of the apps I've ever installed online. The list stops at F.

Because there's so many, mine stops at M. If you go to Order History (or something similar), you'll see every app you've downloaded in chronological order.

Known issue for Android app
Hey, I can't post the link (I'm new), but if you google "delete old apps google play store," the first entry is Known issues for Android apps.
"Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future."
Guess we'll have to wait.

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

Solution for "Security Error"

One of the reasons you may be rooting your Nitro might be to remove bloatware. At least, that was the main reason for me.
Anyway, after you root and go about customizing and deleting apps, you will likely find yourself rebooting and being greeted by an LG logo and the words "Security Error". Then you go through the terrible motions of unbricking your phone and trying again only to brick it once more.
Well, after bricking my phone a good 30 times, I have found a solution. Here it is:
DO NOT UNINSTALL ALL AT&T SYSTEM APPS
There you have it. It seems that AT&T has set up their ROMs to verify that all system apps are intact at boot. If they are not, they assume that the ROM has been tampered with. Of course, this does not mean that you can't freeze these apps. I used Titanium Backup to freeze these apps.
When I finished customizing my Nitro, I booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery and made a backup. Each time I bricked my phone while testing this, I just restored that backup. I've also kept the backup on my SD card just in case.
Here is a list of the apps that I have found will brick your Nitro if removed:
AT&T Address Book (Safe to remove with v20c update)
AT&T Navigator (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Books* (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Movies*
Google Play Music (Safe to remove with v20c update)
Google Play Store/Market
*I have found that these ones will defrost on reboot.

i can tell you for a fact that 90% of those are safe to remove and I have done so.

Yep, most of those are safe to remove. I have security error only then tried to install CWM from leaked firmware.

I'm just going off the fact that every time I removed one of them, I got the security error.
I'd be happy to edit my list if you can provide a list of the ones you have removed.

I think I need to point out that I'm pretty sure mattman86 is talking about experiencing the secure boot error while on the one-click installation ICS leak whereas people replying to him are using the CWM-flashable ICS leak. I could be wrong, though.

this is a pretty safe list. you might try using root explorer to nav over to those apk's and change the perms & delete.
i don't mind the address book and the store is certainly required but those others, ugh.

Just tested. On 20c only one app that bricking device is Google Play Movies :laugh:. Books and Music are safe to remove. I did not try to remove Play Store.

Is Address Book safe to remove?

Weird... Every time I remove it, it bricks my phone. So, I just freeze it.

It appears that with the new v20c update, you can remove Address Book and Navigation.

Only app that crash system is Google Movies! I removed all staff from ATT and other and phone works well. But when I delete Moves it shows me Security Error.

google play: error retrieving info from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

My galaxy S2 was working fine. I used google play a couple of days ago without any problem and today when I tried to update my app systemPanel from google play (or any other app), I got the error (there was no change to my S2. I'm running stock 4.0.4, rooted):
Update for 'systemPanel app/Task Manager' could not be downloaded due to
an error. (error retrieving info from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])
what exactly does it mean?
I already tried everything below without success:
- clear data/cache of google play/google framework. This made it worse as when I started google play it said "no connection- retry". I had to restore app+data from titanium backup.
- clear data/cache 'download manager'
- uninstall updates for google play
- I have also deleted then added back my gmail account and it did not help.
I couldn't install any app either. I got the same error when I tried to install any app from Google play store.
I'd appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you.

please? Anybody? I'm desperate as I couldn't do anything. I couldn't access all my paid apps or free apps.
I was able to search google play just fine. I just couldn't download anything.
Please help. Thank you!

Personally, I'd take this as a good time to update to jelly bean. And your problem will surely be gone as well.

Found a google support phone for the Google Play Store and talk to a support person. Google must hire the minimum wage workers to work the phones. She basically just acknowledged that yes, there was a problem. No, we don't have a fix. Sorry. That was it. It was a waste of time even to talk to them.
Thanks for the reply. What do I need to do to update to JB? I think I froze the update process a while ago as I didn't want to update to JB. I have to find out what did I freeze.
Also, if worse comes to worst, what's a good alternate app site I can use that I don't need to rely on google play store as I can't access it anymore?
I'm sure my money is good everywhere, since google doesn't seem to care or need my money
A paid app costs the same everywhere else, I assume.

Most other app store apps lead you back to playstore to install. LOL
To upgrade to jelly bean you just need to choose a rom that sounds like something you'd like, then follow the install instructions to the letter.

2 tips....you'll need to likely flash the newest T-Mobile or Telus radio....they are the only 2 that will work...before you flash rom. And make sure you're cmw or twrp are current.

When you removed your Google account and readded it, did you reboot your phone before readding it? If you don't reboot, nothing will happen. (So try removing the account, restarting, then sign back in once it starts up again.)
As kj said, most alternate app stores just redirect through Google, lol, but there are a few alternatives if it's fubar'd. Appbrain is the first that comes to my mind, I haven't used it in a few years but it didn't redirect, it was its own server. And just to specify, its uvmc6 or tlmc4 that you will need if you want to update.

App brain does redirect now. LOL
There was one I've tried that doesn't, but don't remember the name. Plus it only has a fraction of what's on play store, and a lot that aren't allowed on play store.....in otherwords, possibly harmful.

I like app brain tho....it sorts apps in ways you can't do on play store.
I find sometimes app brain widels down the memory and crashes.
Still a useful app tho. But it takes you to play store to install.

Yes, I did. If I didn't reboot, adding account wouldn't stick (the added account wouldn't show up).
I looked at appbrain and in order to use it, I have to go to google play store to download and install 'appbrain'. Man, how *brilliant* is that?
There is no other way to install appbrain!

It seems that once anybody got this [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] error, there is no fix... and therefore screwed...
and nobody ever knows why it happened (Google itself doesn't even know why).
I haven't gone to the extreme of doing a factory reset yet and I wonder if that will work?
When I go to Google Play on my PC, under settings->device, I saw that my S2 is not there anymore.
I don't know why it was gone and there is no way to add it back except by connecting to
Google play store from the device

Just reflash stock, or a rom....whatever you want and unless its some issue with your Google account, problem will be solved.
