[Q] ISC) Got an email from Google after installing ICS Beta 3!!!

Since my post count is so low I have to start a new thread for this, sorry about that.
I just installed the ICS Beta III
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361
A half hour later or so I get an email from Google 'Welcoming me to my Galaxy Nexus'.
Has this happened to anyone else???

Did you happen to wander into the about section and click on system updates?

Nope, I flashed the ROM then downloaded a couple of apps from the Market as I was doing that I got the email.
All the links go to Google. I am just wondering is it something buried in the ICS code. Once you log on with your Google account it sends out a standard email to the account.
I don't really want to bother any of the dev's with it. They have enough to worry about right now without someone hassling them about something that is not that important in the grander sceme of things.

It's because the galaxy nexus is the only ICS Device with release codes for market so far. That will disappear once a more similar HTC device is released with ICS and we have a broader selection of release codes to choose from. Earlier beta's ran on test codes. They can be changed in build.prop.

Cheers man. I just could not understand it since it did not happen when I flashed the 1st and 2nd beta roms.

Thanks for posting this MrBC I also got this email and was curious about it.

I got this email as well MrBC...

Of course they can track what ROM use are using to browse android market. For example, I have recently update to Android revolution 2.3.5 and now not able to install few app which I used to have earlier on stock ROM 2.3.4.

I also got this
just ignore it lol
what i wondered was if it thinks we have a nexus why can we still not see some android apps lol

It's still beta so there are plenty of bugs. Its possible that there is a framework bug, or some component is missing. Then there is still the fact the a lot of apps on market are listed as not compatible with ICS. I'd expect it to take until 2012 before we have a fully functioning ROM and a fully working market.

Google play music & movies no longer in market?

I am running stock ICS yakju build and I no longer see Google play music or movies in the market. Does anyone else in Canada or other regions see this. Seems weird for pre installed apps to no longer show. Especially for updating purposes.
Yes, I cleared cache and data etc...

I've pulled them from AOKP M4 for you.

I can still see Google Play Music in the Market but not if I do a regular search for it. I can find it under My Apps>All. It says that there is an update (v4.1.513) but when I try to apply the update it says "Update for Google Play Music could not be downloaded due to an error (940)". My installed version is v4.0.1.501. Running 4.0.1 yakjuux.

Still there for me on the LTE version. Running Codename Android 1.5.5 and Google Play 3.4.7.

In that case I would guess that the newest version is only compatible with 4.0.3 or higher. I presume OP is on 4.0.2, so my guess is that Google is blocking the new music app for incomparable ICS versions. Probably still works anyway if anyone so chooses to install the apk, just not tested fully.

I not that I don't have the newest version, its that it is no longer in my apps list, so when a new update comes out, it wont be in the market for me and presumably other canadians.
Can other people in Canada or anywhere outside the US check to see if it is still in their market?

Question about app compatibility

I want this game
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spidweb.avadon&hl=en
It says my devices are not compatible so will not even show up in the market, even though it would probably run.
Is there a way for me to get purchase this? I can't buy it and backup from my phone since my phone doesn't meet the requirements either (I assume because my phone is 480x800 resolution.
I am actually not sure what is causing the game to appear as not compatible to my Fire but whatever.
I have AOKP installed on my Fire which I assumed would have the fix to trick the market but I'm not sure. Am I wrong in thinking that? I will install one of the other ICS roms if I must though I would prefer an easier route. The build.prop lists the device as an aokp_otter-userbug in the build description.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm running AOKP 35 and the play store says my device is compatible.
Which AOKP are you using?

Weird. I am using build 36...I think their latest. Maybe I'll try a different one then. It sounds like I should be able to get it to show up which I am happy about.
Thanks

Well I have flashed two different ics roms with compete wipes of everything and neither is compatible even though they have updated build.props. I'm out of ideas.

Woohoo, cm7 barebones hooked me up. I was finally able to see it in the market.

[Q] Need for Speed™ Most Wanted incompatible with Samsung SGH-T989

Hi everyone,
Just got my new Samsung S2X (SGH-T989D) from koodo, try to download NFSWM, but only found the game is not compatible.
I heard people with S2 can play the game just fine, its that true? I figure it could be the Adreno 220 GPU or the stock 4.04 Rom causing the problem.
Can someone show me how to make the game work if its possible?
Thanks for reading

Koodo GS2X here, NFS works fine on my phone. Though I am running Liquid ROM. Are you on the stock ROM? Try installing the app, then go to settings > apps > force stop. Then clear cache and data, then uninstall and reboot. Reinstall to see if it works.

I e-mailed the developer and their only response was that they don't support rooted phones. You can try e-mailing google to find out if there's an issue specifically with our phone.

Thanks for response. I cann't find the game on android google play at all, it only shows on pc version but with incompatible sign. I am new to android and running stock firmware s2x. Maybe google and ea only.add t989 to the device list and forget t989d an

I'm rooted and have nfs mw on my Herc. I got it about a year ago. Had no issue getting it from play (market at the time)

It has nothing to do with being rooted. It's a region issue. I looked into it, plus spoke to someone from their tech division. Something sbout certain US regions aren't supported yet. Basically, the game runs on our devices, no matter root, or not....just being held up by EA.

I have went back to stock rom at one point, and remembered to search the play store, but it wouldn't show up, again. I went on google and pulled it up from there, and it said incompatible.

Issues with nfc - specifically google wallet

I am running the most current nightly of the Pacman rom but this has been going on for quite a few versions and also in Paranoid Android when I tried it. Nfc works find but when I try to use google wallet it never finishes setting up. Checking the logcat it looks like its having issues loading the secure element. From what Ive read CM10.X should be using nfc with the required libs so it should work. Once the errors start happening in the log nfc will not work correctly until I shut it off and turn it on again, sometimes a full reboot is required. I know there is nothing wrong with the phone since nfc and wallet work correctly when Im using M.O.A.R. as my rom, so I was wondering if there is an actual issue others are having and if there is a workaround.
Thanks

Figured Id reply to my own with more info. Just installed CM10.2 and wallet worked as expected. As that worked I remembered PA and PACman are AOSP based not CM10.2. So I should actually ask is this a known issue with AOSP and is there a workaround. Thanks

No it should not be. The first devices with Wallet where the Nexus devices which run pure google aosp. So it has nothing to do with aosp as it has to do with a particular rom.
Have a great day!

Looks like the issue was caused by an old version of xposed installed on my phone. While I thought I tested PA and pac-man on a clean install I must not have. After updating to the most current xposed wallet does not cause errors to occur. Now all that is left to do is test to make sure I can pay for something.
