The app is in the play store. It was written for the former app Talk but it still works.
If you tic the box to activate it for some reason it will making playstore think your app needs to update. So DO NOt set auto update on the talk app.

Sent from Synergized i747

I have a workaround for this. Uninstall hangouts. Uninstall Google play services update. Clear play store data. Install market enabler (search for ask on Google). Launch enabler and change to tmo us. Launch play store, install hangouts, run hangouts, update Google play services. Now you should be able to run video chat over cell data. This was persistent through reboot with the market enabler being set on reboot.

@derekedw I don't get the market enabler at all, please give more explanations

This much easier method still works perfectly well

This is strange because I know a few months ago I couldn't hangout over cell towers but since an update a little after that I've never had an issue.
I used it just the other day because my Wi-Fi at work blocks video chat services. Maybe it's because I'm running a custom Rom?

That's the same version that I have too so I think it is the latest version.
The Gmail app in the play store is the pre-3.0 version.
There's no update. The GMail included in ICS is of a higher version than that it the Play Store. Unless your Play Store says there is an update, there isn't one
I want to know if the Gmail app shows in the play store in a stock i9250 because it doesn't for me.

Did you not read what we said? lol. Its not in the Play Store, because the one included with ICS is a higher version than supported in the Store at the moment. You're effectively beyond up to date. You'll be notified when there's an update....
Lol sorry just got nervous my phone was recently stuck on boot up animation and had to factory reset and lost all pics.... then play movies wouldn't update and finally did so I got alil scared lol

Disabeling the outo update feature in google search

Personaly I am not a fan of the latest google search(2.0). I don't like that the option is gone to not search the internet right from the first insterted charracter, and that I have to click an extra time in order to get to see the results from within my tablet itself(contacts, 3rd party apps). Anyway. I therefore installed the previous version of google search(1.3). But altrough I didn't check the auto update box in the play store for google search(I double checked) it still updates itself to the latest version almost every day. Would there be anyone who would know a way to stop google search from auto updating itself?
If your rooted you can freeze the app with titanium backup.

[Q] Prevent Play Store from Checking for App Update [NOT auto update] [update]

I want to keep google talk and not update (or as i see it downgrade) to the hangouts app. Does anyone know of a way to prevent it from appearing in the play store "my apps" list? I've tried using titanium backup to detach/remove from market with no success. I know I can just deal with seeing it in that list but figured i'd ask.
edit: using "detach from market" in titanium does work, but only until i reboot the phone. upon reboot it will show up again and i can go and detach again. so getting closer to a perfect solution; i feel like that may be as good as it gets. any other ideas appreciated though!
Uninstall your present GTalk and install GTalk from an external source then make it a system app if you want. This may stop showing you updates as you haven't downloaded GTalk from the Play Store.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
U can find a Gtalk on mobilism and then convert it to a system app as Sherlock said above. I've had system apps still connect to play store before also, but that's ur best bet.

[Q] Package File is Invalid

Has anyone else had a problem with updating or downloading apps? I've tried everything. I've called both Google Play Support and AT&T. I've restarted my router and modem, factory reset my phone, re-flashed the UCAMA4 ROM and updated to the latest UCAMC3 and it still happens. Most notably with Google apps like Chrome, Maps, Play Music, YouTube, Google Plus and Hangouts.
Been having the same issue all day.

I'm not a programmer, net tech background, but you guys have the latest issues posting on the web. I've been having the same issues all day, spoke with Google and ran their pre-programmed solutions. I'm just trying to do a reset & rebuild, all other apps seemed to install all right. Originally had issues with updating Chrome & Samsung Link, but in the past hr these 2 have been updated successfully. Only remaining issue is trying to install Twitter, still getting the same error.
Google issues all day myself. ..
And being linked to my home and work computers has made the problem even worse as I'm 4 states away from home. .
But I guess it's okay. .
At least I can post. ..g

I have 5 phones on my account and 4 (including the phone I personally use) of them, that I know of, are getting this message when trying to update apps or install apps. This includes certain Google apps, the AT&T apps and Facebook Messenger. I'm guessing this is going to turn into a widespread issue. I honestly think anyone and everyone who are having should call the Google Play Support number to report this error. Maybe then they fast track a fix once the programmers are notified of the error.

Tried that. It works temporarily.
From my perspective, I think this error is linked to Android Device Manager. I haven't received the update yet, but started receiving this message on Monday. That is about the same time Android Device Manager started rolling out.
Things I tried...
Just trying to help figure out what is up so...
I have cleared cache on the google services, rolled back the settings update (gms.apk - removed the device manager), updated to the latest app store (4.3.10 - was on older version). I tried updating after each, no luck.
I can still download other apps, just not the google beta.
And if it matters, I am running Slim/ Devil with TBO apps...
EDIT: Working now...didn't do anything.
Wish I had seen this thread before I wiped my phone 18 times today. O well. Only Facebook is giving me this issue now.

The least they could do is allow manual update capabilities for the play services apk...
Try un installing the latest update from within your application drawer. .then allow Google services to update again. .
This issue is gone for me after doing so...g

Try deleting the app cache first. Then, delete the Google account and add it back. That should fix it for you.
Others have reported that this method doesn't fix their problems, but it did for me.
I have deleted the Dalvik Cache in the recovery mode as well, FYI.

Google Wallet update

I noticed there's a new version of the wallet app, and from the looks of it, the app itself loads on more devices now because Google is using it for more than just tap and pay. Problem is I don't know if this affects the workaround to get the old versions working (changing the build.prop and using the xposed module)

The update may not have been pushed to you yet. The latest update enables Google Wallet on all Android phones.
I would assume you could still install it with the mod/workaround just like older versions for NFC support.

Well seeing as how our phone does not have a secure element chip, we fall under the "Non-NFC devices" category. The app will work for other methods of payment.

The new T-Mobile SIM cards with the chips in them are only for ISIS. As far as making a "mobile" payment? No. We can only send payment via email with the app. I'm sure they have plans for more integration with other services and other payment methods in the future. It seems to me that if you can send money via email, you should be able to use NFC just like PayPal does, but I guess that's up to Google.
So we still probably need the older version if we want to tap and pay

Looks like it as Tap and Play has been removed for our device. We aren't a supported device yet. In Settings > About > Tap and Play is listed as Not Available. Had it throughout the weekend with the Xposed Mod and Nexus Build.prop before the update.

Tmobile atnt and verizon are backing isis, an upcoming competitor to google wallet. So they have not allowed it on our phones..
To clarify, with the new app you no longer need a patched apk or xposed mod. You do need the libs in the flashable zip. You also need to do the app setup while your build.prop is the nexus or sprint values. So some of you have to redo the setup with a modified build.prop (clear data or reinstall to redo the setup)

This worked for me as well. It didn't give me an option to "tap and pay," using the Sprint build.prop. I had cleared Wallet data and reboot but nothing. When I switched to the Galaxy Nexus build.prop, once I reset Wallet and rebooted, I was able to get wallet going, my pin was already attached to my email, which Wallet gave me an option to choose from.
From there, I was able to set-up tap and pay and pick my default payment of choice.
I also noticed a much more lenient "lock" time for Wallet: immediate, 15 minutes, 1 day. I guess if you're running a custom ROM, be sure you don't select "screen on, locked" option for NFC.
I haven't had a chance to use it, as I'm already home for the night, so I'll be testing tomorrow and reporting back.
Has any of you Wallet users been having problems before this new update? Mine suddenly stopped working at CVS and McDonalds, but I can still read and write NFC tags.
I too was missing the tap to pay section after the latest update.
To get it back I uninstalled the latest update then rebooted. Upon reboot the original Google Wallet wouldn't activate.
I then changed the build.prop to the settings in the thread on how to initially install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383251
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
I rebooted and Google Wallet activated. I then went into the play store and let Google Wallet update itself. I ran it to verify that I could see the tap to pay section then modified the build.prop back to the defaults for the Tmobile SG4. and rebooted.
ro.product.device=jfltetmo
ro.product.model=SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
After this reboot I can still see the tap to pay in the latest version from the app store. I will test it at a 7-11 where I have used Google Wallet previously tomorrow but am hopeful it will work properly.
Hope this helps someone else.
