Google play music & movies no longer in market?

I am running stock ICS yakju build and I no longer see Google play music or movies in the market. Does anyone else in Canada or other regions see this. Seems weird for pre installed apps to no longer show. Especially for updating purposes.
Yes, I cleared cache and data etc...

I've pulled them from AOKP M4 for you.

I can still see Google Play Music in the Market but not if I do a regular search for it. I can find it under My Apps>All. It says that there is an update (v4.1.513) but when I try to apply the update it says "Update for Google Play Music could not be downloaded due to an error (940)". My installed version is v4.0.1.501. Running 4.0.1 yakjuux.

Still there for me on the LTE version. Running Codename Android 1.5.5 and Google Play 3.4.7.

In that case I would guess that the newest version is only compatible with 4.0.3 or higher. I presume OP is on 4.0.2, so my guess is that Google is blocking the new music app for incomparable ICS versions. Probably still works anyway if anyone so chooses to install the apk, just not tested fully.

I not that I don't have the newest version, its that it is no longer in my apps list, so when a new update comes out, it wont be in the market for me and presumably other canadians.
Can other people in Canada or anywhere outside the US check to see if it is still in their market?

Enable Google Maps as Live wallpaper ?

I don't see google maps as a Live wallpaper option when stock on touchwiz. This is available on most current android phones and my previous HTC ONE X- Anyone know how to enable this ?
Thx-

Bump

Could this have been a htc sense only wallpaper? I do miss sense

From what I understand it was an android-wide feature from 2010 on.. It appears touchwiz has removed this functionality. Perhaps rooting would allow this ?

I'm running CM10 which is essentially vanilla Jelly Bean, and I'm not seeing any way to set Google Maps as a live wallpaper.
I don't believe this functionality is included with Google Maps anymore. There are a few solutions in the Play Store though.

[APP] New Google Maps v7.0.0 [4.1/4.2]

There is an update to Google Maps currently rolling out, version 7.0.0. More screenshots and info coming, it's a pretty significant update, hence the bump to 7.
New so far:
- Refreshed UI, new splash screen
- Blue dot redesigned
- Slide-out settings menu to match other Google apps
- Offline maps are now saved by saying/typing "OK Maps" when you have the area in view (see here and here)
- No more Latitude
Play Store changelog:
What's in this version:
*This update will be gradually rolling out to Android 4.0.3+ users over the next few weeks. Users with Android versions below 4.0.3 should visit http://goo.gl/5AMJS to find out more about the Google Maps app available to you.
- New design for Android phones and tablets
- Enhanced navigation including live traffic updates, incident reports and dynamic rerouting
- Explore: A new way to browse and discover popular local places to eat, drink, shop, play and sleep
THERE ARE SEPARATE VERSIONS FOR ANDROID 4.1 and 4.2, CHOOSE CORRECTLY OR YOU WILL GET A PARSING ERROR
DOWNLOAD Google Maps for Android 4.2.x (build version 700002513)
GoogleMaps_v7.0.0-70002513.apk
DOWNLOAD Google Maps for Android 4.1.x (build version 700002504)
GoogleMaps_v7.0.0-70002504.apk

The new version blows in many ways. If you look at the reviews everyone is calling it a downgrade.
I'm restoring maps from a backup.

For what I use Maps for, a fancy car navigation system, nothing is missing.

cant save large map areas for offline use
I do not see any way to save multiple large areas for offline use, makes it useless without a data connection.

v7.0.0 = View the area you want to cache then click search and type "ok maps" and voila offline
But they also released another update v7.0.1 which lets you do the same thing for the most part but gives you an option to save for offline but requires you to clear the words from the search bar and the option shows up at the bottom of the page.

The new features/looks are great, but the performance is disastrous, even on my S4.

But it only saves really small areas and in some cases not at all. Not very useful.

Yes, but it is tedious, before I could cache blocks about 75km square.

I don't know why but on street view they got rid of the man you could drag anywhere to move to that location. Now you have to just keep taping forward which is loads slower.

I tried to use Navigation on my Nexus 7 today but i couldn't get the "GPS" view/interface (navigation GUI) with the new version of Google maps.
Then i picked-up my Nexus 4 and that view is available.
Anyone know something about it? Maybe i need to clear cache, data or something.

Does anyone have a link to download the maps version for the Nexus 7 on 4.2.2 before these new updates? I'd really appreciate it. Given all the different versions floating around based on OS version, etc, I'd prefer to get the right one.
The loss of the distance measurement tool on maps and the ability to move around street view efficiently caused me to revert to the original 4.2.2 released version (6.14.2) by doing an "uninstall updates". I'd prefer to run a newer version but before the new crippled release.

Thank you!!! That got me from v6.14.2 in the 4.2.2 distribution back to v6.14.4 before the new release.

Google Maps glitches in CM10.2-20130902

Hi.
There's two issues with Google Maps in bubor's CM10.2 build 20130902:
1. On a clean install, Voice Recognition is not installed. This makes Google Maps crash when pressing the Voice Search button.
Solution: Install Google Voice Search
2. When Maps is open and the phone goes to sleep (both timeout and pressing the power button work), after turning the screen back on, Maps only displays a white screen (flickering when trying to scroll).
This seems to be an NVidia/GL problem, this pops up in logcat, just before sleep and just after wake up:
E/gralloc ( 115): NvGrPost: Failed, TEGRA_DC_EXT_FLIP 6 No such device or address
Later, there's multiple failed calls to NvRmChannelSubmit.
Restarting Maps fixes the problem.
Full logcat dump attached.
Solution: I have no idea.
/edit: Same in the 20130904. Keyboard light confirmed working, though.

I noticed that I had issues last time I used google maps on my phone, not just sleeping but when switching apps and then switching back to it ... pretty useless if I want to check anything and then go back to the phone when using GPS to navigate.
Maybe re-applying GAPPS might fix it, just don't update gmaps anymore ... ?? ... I donno man.. pretty BS they dropped support of our phones because of lack of neon support. Our hardware is still to this day more than adequate ... side by side, my phone is faster response than an S3 with JB.

The new GMaps is still buggy. The glitches are present on other devices as well.

Other devices as in other Tegra 2 devices, or all 4.3 devices?
I found a post referring to a similar issue on the nvidia devzone where it turned out to be an application problem.
Google Earth does not show this issue. Can't do a logcat right now, but I suppose that's an EGL application, too.
/edit: Alright, I just learned that Google Maps 7.x is pretty new (first 7.0.0 release in July) and that downgrading to 6.14 might solve my issues. Oh the outrage in Google Maps for Android product forum on Google Groups.

I'm on a Tegra 3 device, the LG O4X HD and do experience the issue sometimes.

thanks for clarifying that for us!

This thread has a link to the latest Maps 6 (6.14.4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357873
It works just fine without those issues mentioned above.

I also had the black screen issue in Maps when switching apps. As others reported, this issue is not present in Maps version 6 so I downgraded to this version.
Now I'm wondering if there is a way to fix Maps to version 6? It is annoying to update the other apps one by one, since clicking in the "Update all" button in Google Play will update Maps as well.

Same issue
I have the same issue on v7.2 with both CM and Stock Rom.
My device is the Captivate Glide (i927)

I notice that some users are reporting that through Google Play they can update to Maps 7.x, however I am unable to do so, from Google Play i can only update to Maps version 6.14.4 on my 4x HD.
What firmware version are the people getting 7.x running?
Regards,
Cecu

I suspect that this may be due to too new of a kernel. More specifically, nvidia appears to have made a lot of commits to the tegra kernel drivers. I'm going to take a closer look at the diffs tonight.
Just my $0.02.

Now on CM 11.0 I have a reverse problem: I can't delete the stock 7.x version of Maps and install working 6.14 version. The only solution I found was to roll back on CM 10.1.3, install 6.14 Maps, make a Titanium backup of 6.14 version, reflash CM 11.0 and restore 6.14 from Titanium backup. But after every reboot Google Maps are reverting to 7.x version. So I have to restore 6.14 backup every time I reboot my phone, and that's rather inconvenient. I glad that the CM 11 is very stable and allows weeks of uptime.
Dear bubor, can you make your next CM build with 6.14 Maps version or without Maps at all? 7.x version isn't working properly on Glide anyway...

Well many people have reported this . . But for the time being as a temp fix you can do this .. it works or me .

I froze stock 7.x Maps and installed modded 6.14.4 from this link. Yes, working as intended, thanks!

What is the latest firmware?

I havent really used my watch in about 6-8months now. Decided to pair it to my phone for laughs and giggles.
Went to settings to see if there was any updates but nothing.
The current build is MEC231 - Android 6.0.1
Is this what everyone else has?
Thanks

Yep, that's the build I have.
As for more details:
Android Wear - 1.4.0.25...
Google Play services - 10.2.98
