Haha,I actually agree but I thought some people would want to check it out.I don't like this new Google Play in front of everything & the new icons are terrible imo but I seriously doubt they will go back

I just feel like if they were going to change anything it should have been in a way that matched ICS a little better

WTF!? "Play"?
Got this Update a few minutes ago.
Is Google kidding me?
What was wrong with "Market"?

Why is it not matching ICS? The icon and app pages are halo light and overview in halo dark. It matches perfectly (if you saw the android developer site.)
Though I do miss Andy. They need to put him somewhere in the market.

"Market" is not a name
Just got it as well.
I like how they replaced everything with 'Play'.
Instead of 'Read The Hunger Games' it's 'Play The Hunger Games'
Hopefully they'll update something worthwhile soon so I can 'Play with Google Wallet' instead of having it broken.
im ok with the 'play' name its the icon/logo i dont like, market was prettier

I recall reading a blog mentioning that the term "app" was patented by you-know-who. They even had an issue with Amazon's store because it had the same name.

When you click on the settings it says "apps" or "my apps" it was there.

Apps is still there on Play it's exactly the same except for the name and icon of Market

Bit off topic, but does anyone of the apk for Play Music? I hear that it's fairly different to the stock player, well and I can't get it here in Germany.
Thanks!
EDIT: NVM, market enabler does the trick
To receive it, just clean market cache (only cache is enough), reboot, open market (wait a bit,in background it should download the update), exit, reopen and bam you will receive the play store...its confirmed to work

They're re branding market. It's now called "play store". Music and books are also changing.

Force close app and then reopen.

I'm rolling with it, got the badge for my signature and everything haha
ShadowGun is also on sale; I can confirm that it plays nicely on the Inc2 (running 7.2 kang).
I say that it seems to just be adding desktop features. So, I'll be ignoring everything except for the 50 cent apps.
Can't complain about sales...

When I force close market and then enter market again I get googles privacy notifications about google play store. But the app still says Market in the top left. The 49 cent deals are nice but I picked up most of what I wanted during the 10 cent app special several months ago.
Hmm... so I have the new "market" installed, running CM9. I have never used Google Video, so I'm not sure if this has been an issue in the past, or it's something new, but....

It was like this way before for Market rentals on rooted devices, iirc.
If anyone is having trouble purchasing apps from the Android Market that you side-loaded or got from another Store (Amazon, GetJar) then you can try and use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23356474&postcount=18
I just used this guide to purchase an app I had previously gotten for free from GetJar.
Google Play is a generically lame name. meh.
I found that their update broke the market link on my phone. workaround was to open a market link from the browser and then choose 'open with GPlay' from options.

Essentially its the same market with updates.. tried to make it flashy by changing what the name is and all it does is irritate me because I still look for market in my drawer... As long as google doesn't make this like a steam client where the games have to be ran through google play, ill be ok

I've heard that people having problems downloading from the market are using killalldrmserver in a terminal to make it work again.

So mysterious bookmarks keep appearing on my home screen every other day. I sort of ignored it at first but now there's one called SMS spy and something about location and now I'm creeped out. Anyone have any ideas? These don't show up in application cache or anything, just on my home screen.

I have never heard of that before. What happens when you click it? Does it direct you to a website?
I would also browse your root folder directories and see if you can find anything out of the ordinary.

Someone is trying to spy on your text messages. Does anyone suspect you of cheating? Let us know the juicy details.
Google SMS spy and you will understand.

Shift apps/malware for sure. Uncheck "install from unknown sources" and try to track down the rogue app. If you can't find anything, I'd factory reset. Don't wanna mess around with that stuff.

what have you been installing? any apps that aren't allowed to be discussed here can cause things like that.
Bro if your gonna download apps illegally, at least get a bunch of security applications, like 6 of em for 6 different opinions.
Speaking of malicious, Has anyone got a warning about Super user being malicious??? That is what both of security applications said. And I got it from the play store.
*facepalm*
Antivirus on anything is pointless if you're doing something completely legit.

Some apps from the market will do that. If you are getting any of the air push ads then that's what it is. Some apps are in the market that will do that. Best to find which app it is and delete it. That is from my experience.

Yeah but obviously a game or app that seems too good to be true is where malware is found. Not in angry birds. Like I said totally legit.

A few apps from the play store will add bookmarks to your home screen. TBH I can't name any off the top of my head but has happened on my GF android before. Chances are an app you have downloaded has been developed by the same people who make this "SMS spy" app. I would go through installed Apps and note who the publisher is and see if any are the same as the SMS spy app.
Chances are its just pain in arse advertising.

As indyred99 said. Some apps allow air push ads. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.byq.airblocker from the play store. (Must be rooted) reboot, then they will stop.
Also, only install apps from the play store.

Is anyone else having this issue in google play.
You scroll down as you look at apps.
You select one to look at it then go back to the app list.
Once back to the list you are started back at the top.
Pretty annoying if you are pretty far down.
Anyone know of a fix

It works like that for everyone. I have not seen a fix for it.

I have actually contacted Google about this. It happens when viewing the "My Apps" and is especially annoying in the "All" tab. It also happens in the "Top New Free" apps section. Google emailed me back and said they can't promise anything, but my concern had been forwarded to their developers. I really hope they fix this.
Good deal. Yeah it's not a huge deal but gets annoying when you are searching for apps and have to scroll through a couple hundred apps to get back to where you left off. Seems like it would be an easy fix for Google I wonder why they don't fix it.

It would be great if they fix it soon... and also give us the possibility to clean the chronology of the google play, i've an endless list of apps it's pretty useless...

Yes, now that you mention it the app history of every app you downloaded in the last 5 years is worse. I download and try a ton of free apps as well as paid. Most free apps are deleted within the day, so I have a gazillion apps in the my apps list

I agree these issues are annoying. I'll sign any petition!
Furthermore, they need to bring back a way of filtering purchased apps. All of our purchased apps should be in one convenient place.

Theres legacy play store by Paul O'brien on MoDaCo.
An update to the Playstore is being rolled out to address some of these issues. You can now remove apps from the all apps list and it appears to keep your place when you scroll.

This new Play Store is sweet! You can delete historical apps and it remembers your position when navigating backward!
I downloaded from the article link, cleared market data, pushed to system (rooted), and rebooted. Works great.

I've never seen a Facebook Update like this before and it says I need to unblock unknown sources so I'm pretty sure it's not legit. But how would this happen? I downloaded Facebook right off of Google Play

good thing i dont use the app anymore. i use flipboard for my feed and imo.im app for messaging. no need for the app here
All in app updates need unknown sources checked since they don't come from the plsystore
I like to break stuff!
I'm just making a wild guess but maybe Facebook 2.3 is a Jelly Bean thing?
That would explain why the Play Store isn't being updated.
