[Q] Disable "Update Maps" prompt - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am sadly very disappointed with the latest Google Maps update for lots of reasons. I've uninstalled the update and gone back to the previous version.
All well and good. But it keeps promoting me that there's an update available via the notification bar. Also I can't do "Update All" in Play Store or I'll end up with the updated, rubbish Maps.
Can I stop this somehow? So far I've tried unlinking Maps from the market using Titanium Backup, but it just relinks itself.
Thank you!

And what's with the July updates? My Play Store has updates from Maps, Facebook, The Score and 3 games sitting there because the reviews all reveal problems & horrible bugs in the latest updates! :-/

Play Store 3.5.15 not showing updates

Hi, I have a problem with the Play Store 3.5.15. In previous versions, when I went to 'My Downloads' section, the applications which I can update was displayed in the top on the list, and I was able to update, but with the version 3.5.15, when an application is updates, the section 'My Downloads', in the tab 'Installed', is showing nothing. So I can´t know if there are updates avalable or not

I've had updates show up at the top as usual twice now. 4.0.2 stock.
Yeah, updates don't show on mine either. Stock 4.0.2 GSM version.
Did you perform a manual update or was it a background update of the Play Store? I just got the 3.5.15 update pushed today so I don't know if I have any app updates.
The new Play Store is some missunderstanding. It doesn't show any updates for me and even better - now when you click "My apps" it will show every freakin' app you have installed ever. In my case that's hundreds of unsorted apps. It soooooooooooo fun to scroll over them all untill i can find apps that i have purchased and wanna use now after flashing new ROM. I don't know what drugs has Google started to buy for it's staff but clearly there's some negative effect.

I was able to experience a notification for updates on 3.5.15. In some cases though, I experienced what OP did. I'm thinking it just takes some time before Play Store eventually says, "hey dude, there's an update available on your app"
Yup same prob here... Google's usual teething problems.
Think the world is their QA.

I got the same problem. The solution for me is going to accounts when you are on the "my apps" page and select your google account, then your updates show. Its not a perfect solution but it works in the meantime when it hopefully gets solved.
been having issues ever since started using roms that include this version of play store. on current rom, i fixed my problem by using the market fix from lcd density modder pro. but then i tried to run a newer rom version and this trick stopped helping. was having all sorts of problems in installing apps - 921 error, unable to complete purchase error, and just the state where the download animation is going but it never finishes and installs.

[APP]Google Maps latest version

Installing Google Maps is a regular problem for me, because everytime that a new version comes up, i'm unable to download it because of restrictions in my country (Chile).
It's not easy to find the latest version (at the moment of this writing i think it's 6.8.0) .
If someone can upload the updated apk i'll be very pleased.
The most recent version that i can found searching the internet was the 6.6 so, if it's useful to somebody the link is here:
REMOVED
If there's a method to avoid country limitations please tell me, because Market Enabler and similars are not working anymore.
Thanks!
Latest maps, unzip it, install, This is version 6.8.0
124 views and nobody uploaded maps? Weird.
I can't see maps in google play, or in my apps (on google play), but you can update it like this:
Go to maps, settings, what's new, update.

I don't know if there's a special way to do it, but a long time ago Market Enabler stops working for me.
Sometimes i'm able to see the apps that i normally can't see, but i cannot install them.
I updated mine this way. Market then my apps then slide to the right for "all" then scroll down for Google maps, it will be there.

do u read about "maps is not available on some countries" ? lol
anyway with market enabler should work fine
You need to keep market enabler enabled at all times, at least i do and it works.
I make it a habit of running it and selecting T-Mobile US every time my phone reboots and before connecting online. Let it change your APN, then it will always work. Also replace your Play Store vending apk with the mod version, then you should be good. If you need to buy any app, open the app page in the browser.

Probably because Google can hit XDA with a cease and desist and cause all sorts of trouble. You are not allowed to distribute google apps.
Oh ok thanks for the tip, OP you can just PM me.
MAPS updates are available from the Play store

It's the same for all devices? I ask because I have never installed Google Play manually.

Give me the old Google Play Store back!! This thing sucks! It prompts me when I do an "Update All" when I have app updates and if I don't have "allow automatic updating" checked. Talk about annoying! Also, this thing has borked my app updates and any new installs as well. Google really laid a turd with this Play Store update!!

You can install a previous version from my other thread here but I'm guessing it'll auto-update to the newest version anyway. You can try it if you like though

I got it via the auto update anyway, so I'm guessing fighting it at this point is futile.

v4.4.21 is now available for download from the OP

[Q] Gmail 4.7.2 FC's. Can't get it working.

So my Gmail app started to FC today when I open it. I tap the icon and it just doesn't start. However, I still get notifications that emails are coming through and I can still delete them through the notification panel as usual.
So far, I've tried clearing data, clearing cache, wiping dalvik and cache with twrp, and also fixing permissions with twrp.
The only way it works is if I uninstall updates and revert back to the old Gmail.
If I logon to Gmail on my computer and delete new messages, the little notification badge (in Nova Launcher) reflects the changes.
It was working fine until today, not quite sure what happened.
Any ideas?
Are you using a themed gmail? If so, chances are it was resigned by the Dev... and it won't play well with the latest Google Play Services update (4.3.x). Check to see if your Google Play Services updated... if so, just roll back to v4.2.43 (uninstall updates.. then restore 4.2.43 via TiBu). You will probably have to do this again when Play Services updates again. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51359618

Thanks for the info!
No I'm not using a themed Gmail, just the standard. My play services are also up to date (4.3.24).
Would I benefit from clearing the play services data and cache?
Edit:
Oh wait, I think that fixed it. I reverted back to the stock version of play services (1.0.xx), opened Gmail successfully, then reinstalled 4.3 from the link in that thread. Gmail still opens post update.
Thanks for the tip, it definitely saved me a bunch of aggravation!
Update:
It was working, then an email came in. I opened the email from the notification bar and it just broke again.
Here's Google Play Services v4.2.43. ... try this one

Thank you kind sir, 4.2 seems to be working as of now. Sent myself a test email and it didn't break anything.
I guess Gmail isn't playing well with 4.3 at the moment, wonder why...

np... glad you got it working. It's odd that 4.3 Play Services breaks authentic GMail. Keep that 4.2.43 version handy as you may need it again if Play Services auto updates again to 4.3

Yup, definitely.
I wasn't even aware that play services even updated. I can't seem to find a changelog either on it.
I hope Google gets around to fixing the issue on the next release though!

Google Market. Updates cause problems on some custom themed ROM's "X stopped"

Google Market. Updates cause problems on some custom themed ROM's "X stopped"
This is something I didn't know and this post has helped me fix Google Apps that stopped working.
wackydroid said:
It's not the Gmail app itself, ROM or Store version. It's Play Services.
The Gmail fix is relatively simple and works every time (so far, I, and 6 of my friends, have used it):
Settings > App Manager > All > Google Play Services
Undo all updates. It will tell you it's installing the "factory" version of it. Hit OK.
Gmail (black Rom version) will [should] work.
Then, I went into Google Play Store settings and UNchecked all auto-updates so they can't slam me into non-working updates anymore.
When you run Maps and a few other Google apps, it'll put a little alert on your Noti Bar that the app NEEDS the newer version of Services...it doesn't...they all work perfectly so ignore the warning until a new Services gets released.

The only issues I still run into is Google now and YouTube won't work with the factory services anymore. I got other apps for YouTube so that's not really an issue but I've started to like Google now lately.
