Have you accepted the terms from the Play app on the phone yet? And have you installed any apps from the Play on your phone? That's about all I can think of..
EDIT: Not to degrade your knowledge, but you do have the same google account linked to the s3?

So weird something is going on. The only way it came back was factory reset and it showed up eventually

Mine did the same thing last week. I had a modified buildprop. Changed back and then phone showed up. I dont see how that would a difference so maybe there was an issue with play store

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

[Q] Chrome not compatible???

I got the ICS upgrade, and Google Play says Chrome isn't compatible. Why?
That sucks. Haven't tried over here yet. Still de-bloating this *****.
You must not have ICS.

I can confirm that Chrome works for me.
I rebooted my phone and now it works. Strange.
Is there going to be support for Google Wallet now that we have ICS? I tried it, but it complains it's not certified and exits.
Its up to "the carriers". Recently the big 4 want to start their own NFC Waller thing going.

Malware on my phone? :(

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.

Not nesesarily true, malicious apps have been found on the Play Store in the past.

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.

Older google maps apk

Does anyone have the older google maps apk, possibly from last couple of months? The most recent one is crap. I'm on vacation and it just told me to literally turn into a 1 way highway. And its keeping my phone from going into deep sleep, even when uninstall, I have to reboot to fully get rid of it. Any help is appreciated

Google Settings app

just noticed this; when did it appear!?
Where at? Can you post a screen shot?
I received bunch of updates and see this new Google settings. I believe it is something to do with this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-in-simple-and-secure-minus-the-social-spam/

It is a little worrying that it seems like a Google Settings app just appears without any interaction from me...can't even see which Google app got updated?
It just appeared on my device too...
It has here as well, how very odd!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok, after some brief digging around. It appears it is part of Google Play Services.. Which before no one was entirely sure what it was used for, it appears we now have an idea.. To use as a gateway for Google to install their loot on your device at will.
That app is the only one I have open.. As you see, Google Play Services is responsible for it.

There was zero notification either!
Seems to have a lot of perms too.
Yup, if you hold and drag to App Info it shows as Google Play Services.
The strange part of it is.. I have my Nexus 10 sitting right in front of me and that app doesn't exist and I have no updates.
I was wondering why my internet connection lagged so bad to the point where I couldn't do anything.. Then this settings app showed up.
Have not got it. Is it only those with G+ who have received it?

This explains all the google wake locks I have been getting over the past few days. They have been doing this in pieces. I went in and froze the play services and the locks are gone for now.
