Stay away from that... You cant upgrade your operating system via the google play store...otherwise we would never be waiting for our carriers and manufacturers to upgrade our devices...its likely a scam

Well i haven't done anything with it because I was suspicious so that's why I put in this thread to find out if anyone else seen this App or know anything about it. I mean a lot of you have to do through recovery. Check it out

I've seen that certain apps in the market say that my device is not compatible with the app. I didn't really think twice about it until today I saw that Google maps is one of those apps. This wasn't the case earlier today.
Has anyone else been having this problem?
What do you think the problem is?

Solved - Reason for issue was due to my changing the DPI for enhanced resolution
I'd like some sort of answer to that too, my phone says that maps is compatible, but Youtube isn't. I tried clearing market data and cache on the off chance that something was goofy there, but it didn't help. It even says "incompatible" when I go to the web version of the market from my computer, and won't let me install.

K, i figured out the problem. Its because i changed the DPI in my build.prop in order to get a better resolution. I guess the apps are compatible with the resolution that i set it to, so it just says that its not compatible with my device.
I'm now using JB but the update still download the entire apk instead of only the changes.. Or am I missing something?

Dunno if they've started that yet. And I don't think that's JB specific iirc. Thought I remember it being 2.3 and above. Its all handled on Google's end.

Sounds like it is enabled on all apps by default on anything 2.3 and up:
For Android devices with the Google Play, we launched the following at Google I/O today:
Smart app updates: For Android 2.3, Gingerbread devices and up, when there is a new version of an app in Google Play, only the parts of the app that changed are downloaded to users’ devices. On average, a smart app update is a third the size of a full apk update. This means your users save bandwidth and battery and the best part? You don’t have to do a thing. This is automatically enabled for all apps downloaded from Google Play.

No. No release date. My best guess is that it will coincide with the actual release of JB later this month.

Anyone having any problems with some apps not staying disabled? I'm having trouble with Google movies and Google books. I disable them and eventually they come back and I see the update in the market for them. I go back in and disable.tjem. I know I could root and delete them but I'm waiting on my pc so I can't yet. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

At least I know I'm not crazy. I looked this issue up and didn't find a lot but I did find someone say to disable Google partner setup along with the apps. So far since I did that they haven't come back yet but I dont know what Google partner setup is.

I would also like to know why. I have this same problem with Chat On, but I think it is Samsung related
Get rooted, you can either remove or freeze them.

Has anybody noticed Google Voice acting funny while using 4.2 roms? I'm using a toroplus gnex and the two 4.2 ROMs I've tried Google Voice acts up; mainly freezing up from time to time while I'm trying to send a text message. Anyone else?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Nah I haven't got that problem.. I'm using the kalo rom, it's quite the same as the standard android (no skins or anything like that).. Maybe you should try that one?
And you're using the most recent version from the Play Store? Because I know I read Voice wasn't working with 4.2 but I think it has received it's compatibility update now.
No Problem.

Yes, it's the most recent version. I've tried reinstalling it and wiping cache but neither seems to fix it.

Am I missing something? Everything I read, says it comes with Jelly Bean, but I have yet to find it on my phone. I have found some mirrored apks for it, but didnt want to install them if I'm just over looking it on my phone. Anyone have any info on this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
IIRC this comes with Jelly Bean 4.2.x
Well, that would explain it. Thanks.

Nah, it comes with 4.1+ I had it on CM10 on my Atrix forever ago. It just seems it was taken out of our build of Jelly Bean for whatever reason.
After a little research it seems that they don't include it in 4.1 very often and sometimes it is frozen. You can try the apk from here (that is the 4.2 version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742652
but it may still be frozen after installing and the only way to unfreeze it is to use TiBu or something.
edit: this old version might work better. It says no root required on it.

Which I downloaded and installed and got the Sound Search widget with.
This functionality is in the latest version of Google Now. Just open Google Now and say "what song is this?"

Good point!
You can also type it in the search bar. If you type queries in google now, the results aren't spoken either.
