Hi,
I'm currently using Google Play build version 3.8.17. Is there a new version out? The reason I ask is because I heard on engadget a while ago that there would be an update to Google Play that allows you to only download the update for big games/apps. For instance, if I wanted to update Need for speed, I wouldn't have to download the entire file again from Google Play, just the smaller update file.
Are only some apps providing this? Or is there a new Google Play apk out there that provides this? Thanks in advance!
That's the most updated AFAIK.

That is the most up-to-date version and the 'delta' updates you describe are actually working in that release.
What is confusing is that when you are performing an update, it still shows the FULL size of the app even if it isn't actually downloading that quantity of data. In reality it's downloading a much smaller chunk - you'll notice that when performing an update on a large app, it jumps to 100% much quicker than it would take to download the full app.
Confirmed this when updating Firefox - took about 1 second even though it said the download was 18 mb.

I'm using the latest Oxygen ROM and have been using Oxygen for a good few months anyway. My market app has never updated however and I only noticed this lately when a friend showed me the updated market on his phone.
My phone is connected to Wi-Fi 20 hours a day, yet a market update fails to emerge. Is there any way to force the market app to check for an update for itself or what can I do?
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi,
yesterday or so i was curios and thought the same "lets try the new market"
after dl and install, i thought wow looks nice
but than i looked closer, its very slow and loading icons takes a while
for me the nice feature to look "more from this dev" has been purged
the only new and nice thing is the video preview integration
cheers
ps.: if you want try it yourself
Yep been waiting for the market app to auto-update as well on Redux. Only reason I'm not doing it manually is so I know if the ROM can take care of itself or not.
Only thing I've been told is as long as you have Market Updater (in Applications > Manage > All) it should eventually receive a new market update.
Same thing here.
Using latest Oxygen and still waiting for Market update. But how guys you update manualy?
Grab one of the market files from my sig. You should be able to just install it normally by using an explorer. v3 is really slow and not built for our phone but it looks nice. v2 is better off for our phones.
oxygen doesnt update Gapps. you need to manually do it. I suggest downloading the 200110503 Gapps as it has video built into the chat. then install with rom manager or cwm recovery.
Hi, I have a problem with the Play Store 3.5.15. In previous versions, when I went to 'My Downloads' section, the applications which I can update was displayed in the top on the list, and I was able to update, but with the version 3.5.15, when an application is updates, the section 'My Downloads', in the tab 'Installed', is showing nothing. So I can´t know if there are updates avalable or not

I've had updates show up at the top as usual twice now. 4.0.2 stock.
Yeah, updates don't show on mine either. Stock 4.0.2 GSM version.
Did you perform a manual update or was it a background update of the Play Store? I just got the 3.5.15 update pushed today so I don't know if I have any app updates.
The new Play Store is some missunderstanding. It doesn't show any updates for me and even better - now when you click "My apps" it will show every freakin' app you have installed ever. In my case that's hundreds of unsorted apps. It soooooooooooo fun to scroll over them all untill i can find apps that i have purchased and wanna use now after flashing new ROM. I don't know what drugs has Google started to buy for it's staff but clearly there's some negative effect.

I was able to experience a notification for updates on 3.5.15. In some cases though, I experienced what OP did. I'm thinking it just takes some time before Play Store eventually says, "hey dude, there's an update available on your app"
Yup same prob here... Google's usual teething problems.
Think the world is their QA.

I got the same problem. The solution for me is going to accounts when you are on the "my apps" page and select your google account, then your updates show. Its not a perfect solution but it works in the meantime when it hopefully gets solved.
been having issues ever since started using roms that include this version of play store. on current rom, i fixed my problem by using the market fix from lcd density modder pro. but then i tried to run a newer rom version and this trick stopped helping. was having all sorts of problems in installing apps - 921 error, unable to complete purchase error, and just the state where the download animation is going but it never finishes and installs.
OK, so first things first. I am rooted and have attempted repeatedly to remove the Google Play Services apk with no luck. I have used TB to uninstall. freeze, delete. It will delete the file and or remove it but when I reboot its back and it wont go away. I have looked into the my
/data/app
folder and deleted the file from there and then removing it with TB, still whether I reboot or I wait anywhere from minutes to a coupel hours its back and as it doesnt show up under the PLAY store I cant think of any other way to remove the dang thing and its eating about 40mb of internal storage. I move it to SD and it will work for a bit, but then its back to internal storage..... I dont even use Google+ that much on my phone. I use it on my PC.
Any ideas/suggestions?

It takes only 7.92MB of internal storage for me.
You need to remove the GPlay store to remove it permanently.
Maybe if I rename the play store apk and add a .bak then reboot then remove the dang thing entirely it will be gone.
I looked and I dont know whats different with mine but its eating around 39mb on my phone.
Why would you want to remove it? This app, as far as I can remember I read, gives us "Smart Update" which lets you install and update only the updated portions of apps instead of redownloading the entire app. So... I just moved the app to my system partition using TB, then Integrate it with the ROM everytime it gets updated. Internal memory problem solved.
According to Google Play reviews, you need it for YouTube and possibly other Google services.

Sorry, but this is wrong. Smart Update is a Google Play Store feature and has nothing to do with Google Play Services.

Yeah true, since newest version.
Google Play Services is something like a replacement for older Google APIs on Android. It allows developers to use a newer version of those APIs (this "newer" version is not better in any way, but new ). Google's idea is to get more independant from hardware manufacturers and their updates. They want this APIs to be no longer part of the system to update them on their own. They started porting their Apps to the new APIs, YouTube is one of the affected apps (what means they did not add any feature but let the app work only on Android systems with Play Services installed).
Im at war with Google now. Will go Windows
Up until today I was quite happy with my ZTE T60. Then suddenly upon waking up this morning it was sluggish, the Internet was unresponsive and became a great disappointment. Then the low memory warnings started, my "market" Icon was switched to "Play Store". So into settings and application management I go. Now I notice two new applications I did not install or was I asked for permissions. One being the play store which is only a MB or so bigger than the old "market" app but now I also have this "Google play services" thats 19MB! My device only has 128M ROM. I don't have room for it and I cant get rid of it. Being that Google took over my device I have decided to boycott all Android devices. I would also like to note the same exact thing was done by Google with my Samsung GT-S5570 Galaxy mini. Whats the point of pushing store software onto devices like this that takes up all of the Rom so one couldn't download anything from the store if they wanted to? Doesn't Google realize this enormous update is not suitable for every android device on-line and why have they mandated it? Sorry Google, I used to love ya but this is the big goodbye.
I am not sure about windows phone OS but I can agree with you. Now Apple and Android are doing the same bad things than Windows for desktop did in the past.
Unfortunately on mobilephones its is even worse because by default you are not root/admintrator.

You need it for like all services by google. The google play store will just keep downloading it and putting it on your phone until the end of time. Youd probably have to re engineer the google play and other google apps to not download this app.

Just curious if anyone has thing game running on a nexus 7? I have searched the play store and Gameloft site and there seems to be no way to download it. I don't want the newest version (3) as they seem to have ruined the game with in app purchases and weird timers. I have found .apks to test the game but they will not run, it installs fine, downloads additional data then says this is not a valid copy (I assume due to copy protection). I just want to have this game and if anyone can let me know a legit site to download it or even a place I can get it otherwise it would be greatly appreciated. I have downloaded several versions and could only get 1 to to install, all the rest had black screens and unfortunately this is the only version not labeled so I have no idea which version to even look for!
P.s. lucky patched shows no protection on this game either :/
Thanks !!!

It's the same for all devices? I ask because I have never installed Google Play manually.

Give me the old Google Play Store back!! This thing sucks! It prompts me when I do an "Update All" when I have app updates and if I don't have "allow automatic updating" checked. Talk about annoying! Also, this thing has borked my app updates and any new installs as well. Google really laid a turd with this Play Store update!!

You can install a previous version from my other thread here but I'm guessing it'll auto-update to the newest version anyway. You can try it if you like though

I got it via the auto update anyway, so I'm guessing fighting it at this point is futile.
