So yesterday I installed the Freedom app so that I could test whether or not one of my apps was hackable with the in-app purchases. Of course to use Freedom, I had to install the Market switcher app to switch my market to Russian before Freedom would even work. What a process that turned out to be... anyway...
After testing the app I used the "Stop" function for Freedom and then used that same market switcher app to revert back to my original market. When I went into the Play Store after using those apps, it was giving me an error. This is the error it was giving me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I decided to reformat my phone and re-install CM10 with the franco kernel. After getting my phone back up and running I'm getting the exact same error message on the Play Store. I figured re-installing my rom would fix the problem, but of course, it didn't. I'm getting the error any time I try to purchase something on the Play Store. I can still download free apps all day long, but I can't purchase anything.
I went to the Wallet website and I don't see anything wrong with my profile. I've tried clearing the data and cache of the "Google Play services" as well as the Play Store as well as uninstalling my Google profile and re-adding it. I have no idea what to do any more...
Can I get some assistance with this? I've searched everywhere and everything I've found says the same thing. Clear the data and cache of Google apps, remove profile, re-add profile, etc, etc. Everything I've tried. I'm t a loss.
Does the app still show on your installed/recent apps list on the play store?
Have you tried flashing back to stock through factory images?
Have you tried contacting Google support about it?

It does show the list of my installed apps in the "My apps" section as well as the "All" tab that shows everything I've ever installed. If what you're asking is if the app that changes the market shows under the app list, then no, it doesn't. I had to download that app from a website and load it to my phone manually because it isn't available in the Play Store. Neither of the two apps that screwed this whole system up are available in the store.
I have not tried to flash back to factory and I have not contacted Google support. I posted a message on the Google "forums" about it here:
http://productforums.google.com/for...roid-devices/android-applications/ZeBvp3MZkiw
But of course the only replies you ever get there are the "ME TOO!" replies with hardly any helpful support.
EDIT:
Hold on just a damn minute here... I went to the Google Wallet support section of the Google website and now it's showing me that my account is suspended due to not being able to verify my identity with the credit/debit card on file. I recently had my debit card stolen and it was cancelled by my bank, so I'm assuming that's what is probably causing this issue. I'll upload the documents they're asking for there and see if it resolves the issue and report back here.

Anyone has tried google earth on htc desire??
Its available for desire or not..
It is you can download it for free from the Market. It takes some memory though...
Try Google Sky Map its simply awesome for Desire - just point it up towards the sky and it tells you about all the stars, planets and constellations... simply great!
yes it does work, but as said, it does use some memory.
+1 for skymap though, awesome program!
Yeah it works fine, as does skymap as mentioned above
I can't find it in the market... i search for Google earth... and it comes up with google earth blog gps2google earth, etc... but not the real one... how do i find it?
this should do it....

however, it does seem to have disappeared today (i downloaded it yesterday), so they may be uploading an update.
Any chance of uploading the apk anywhere? Its not available on the market.

Found it on droid-life.com, bit odd that its still not in the market, maybe something to do with Google only signing off on the ROM recently but dont think so.
Here's the blog post and download links:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/06/download-google-earth-for-2-1-update-1/
This thread confuses me,
Why not just use google maps and turn on the satellite view?
Fon22
the issue here is that apps that should be available aren't. and there is no explanation from google or htc. that is not good enough.
are there any sites that have all apps? if they are free apps then there will be no problem in downloading them. anyone put a link up?

Im happy that until they have undergone google testing so that they dont delete stuff I need on my phone, I cant use them.
Yes!
Would you rather that they hadn't sold you the phone, until you could download everything..?
If so, go get a refund and wait..
If not, be happy using the phone for what it does now (which is Shyte loads!)

You're completely missing the point. 'Test apps' are not missing from the phone. Protected apps are.
So; established programs such as Paypal, Google Earth, Rockon, etc... are all missing.
It's because of the Build Fingerprint in the build.prop file. Google haven't registered the build on their market system yet. Until that's done, we'll not see protected apps.
If we had root & write access, we could simply change the fingerprint.

Fox. ..go into the app drawer and see if the application has an update option.
If yes. ..update it.
The services apps were updated 2 days ago by Google. And depending on your market update settings it may not have been done.
The application is not found in the play store, and needs a manual fix if your settings blocked it.
I got the same message before updating, and now it's gone. ...g

I git that until i removed it.
Just remove it from the ap drawer.
Its useless.
Easy.
Edit: I should clarify: dont remove, merely use the freeze option via TiBu. Then hit the disconect from market option.

Hey D, I even installed the actual google play services.apk that i found. But it still didn't help with the hangouts thing! Asking for updating play services. Same msg as you.
Edit: got these from installing on my skyrocket. Just too see what WOULD happen!! Since everything is stock on there! Now everything works!!

I have installed the Wikipedia app, did not like it, and uninstalled it.
Now when I do searches on Google, the results are presented to me with a link to be read in the app, as if I still had the app.
How do I get rid of this behavior? Here is an example (found online). The link in red is supposed to open the Wikipedia app to the appropriate page; on my device I just get redirected to the Play store to download the app (which I find immensely annoying).

I think you are asking how to change the default app for a specific file type. Try this http://www.guidingtech.com/13517/change-default-program-android-file-type-open/. I think Astro file manager can also do it

Hi... yes that solved it.... I of course knew about file type open default, but somehow this did not come to my mind specifically for Google search results. But in reality it's the same mechanism that is used by Google and Chrome.
Thanks for refreshing my mind! :good:
Hi,
I have the same problem but I didn't get your solution. Which app should I "reset" default? I tried chrome and google search, but it doesn't work. Apparently there is no wikipedia since I've uninstalled it..
Thank you.

Exact same problem with my Nexus 4.
I'm having a similar issue, except I don't want to stop using the Wikipedia app. Both Chrome and Google Search will not open Wikipedia app links as displayed in OP's image. Touching the link does nothing. Attempting to correct the issue, I reset defaults for Chrome and Google Search, which did not help. The 'reset defaults' option for Wikipedia is greyed out, so I uninstalled the app. Google Search and Chrome Wiki links still claim the app is installed, and touching these links does nothing.

A little bit late, but it seems fixed.

I don't get the fix. Which app did you clear defaults for? I've resorted to using Firefox for the meantime, but I don't want to forever. I like chrome.
Please advise which app to clear defaults for.
If you search for Wikipedia on the Play Store website, you will see that it says that the app is installed. The same goes for every other app that you've ever installed. I think that may be the real problem.
Downloading right now
EDIT
OTA seems selectively pushed only to some users, but OS can be downloaded from their servers!
download links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60168413&postcount=37
EDIT 2 LINKS ARE DEAD. AMAZON PULLED 4.6.1
EDIT 3 Amazon started OTA OS rollout in Europe. Some Deutsche telekom and O2 UK customers confirmed update.
My System Updates says "No updates found". Any idea if they are rolling this out for everyone, or if there's a manual download link?

Great news! No update here yet. Could you please share if any ui changes after upgrade ?
I have deutsche telekom fire phone, unlocked with code provided from them. No UI changes that I can see. I wasvdriving from work till now so I dodnt have time to play with device. I can only notice lockscreen notifications change. Now they have few lines of text beside icons.
Homescreen wallpaper can be changed now
Smart dialing!!! But still no persistent notifications on top panel. Still no notification when phone set on silent.? yeah, there are new emoticons?
Lame. The one day that I decide to carry my SGS3 with me.
ATT's Fire Phone Software update page isn't updated to reflect this latest update. just yet.
I've installed google framework, google services, google account and playstore. On previous OS version 3.6.6 google play store was crashing. I havent played much but I successfully installed google drive. Now almost all my apps are upgrading (apps from amazon store). Yeah, I didnt notice this before, but keyboard is slightly changed. Letters are thicker.

chalx, some apps from the amazon app store don't work after they are updated through google play. You may want to turn off google play auto update.
Thanks for a tip. I must check...
You are right, twitter, instagram, and few other "updated" apps are wiped from device

Is google maps working fine now? With previous OS 3.6.8 there was a problem with labels.
I've downloaded maps and cant see anything weird. Labels seem fine
I'm certain that somebthings still won't work - there is some app for easy locating of atms, its reliant on google services and it won't work. I thought its because I didnt have maps but it still won't work.
No update for UK O2
new notifications
Finally, adjustable data speed settings under network settings. 2G, 3G, LTE
Not sure whether to post this here or in a different thread, but here goes and if it's in the wrong place, I hope the Mods will move.
I've posted this on Google and have not had one response in 5 Days, thanks Google.
I have gone to Myaccount.google.com and go into security tab from either my phone or PC browser, and yes I am logged in.
No matter which what I do, I am able to access the security tab and view, but when I scroll down to Your devices, none show up, If I click on the manage my devices link, I get the same 500 server error message, from phone or PC.
I have signed out and back in many times, I have also turned on 2 step and I still can't get into my device history. I can use all the other tabs with no issue, just the device tab gives me the server 500 error message for the past days. I have also installed the android app Find Devices by Google, from there I'm able to see all devices, but as you all know you can't delete a devices from there. Now the below issue might she a little light, but I can't resolve it
A few weeks ago I bought a One Plus 6T, set it all up on the same Google account as my OP 5T, but never put my sim card, as I was still using my OP 5T until the whole phone was set up like I liked it. After a few days I realized I didn't like the OP 6T b/c of the no LED notification which I was accustomed too, and also didn't like the TMO Splash screen, so to make a long story short, I sold it, and yes I did a full FR before I sold it. So now back to where we are and where I think the issue lies, when I check the app Find My Devices, as I mentioned it shows all my devices, but on the tabs of the devices, the first device it search for a location is the OP 6T, 2nd tab is my OP 5T, so I'm guessing the server error is b/c the google server is looking for the first device in line which is the OP 6T and therefore getting the server error b/c it can't be found. Hope this makes sense.
I didn't want to make a large post but figured you's need to know all this info.
So how do I get the OP 6T out of the Google system now.
Things I've done to date
1) Cleared cache for Google apps and also force closed and cleared data
2) Ste up 2 step for Security for now.
3) I've asked my brother that lives with me, who's always on your site and he suggested I post here to see.
4) I've tried post on Google, and contacting Google to no avail.
Here is a screenshot of the device section

Any suggestions how to resolve this issue. I have a phone that I sold and I want to remove it from my account. Please advise. All the google links and you tube video are one year old and so represent the new account page setup.
My guess is once the person I sold it hooks it up to there Google account, it might wipe out from my account.
This might need to be moved to a different section, maybe related to Google rather then my device ??
