[Q] sgs2 not compatible with Google Maps 5.7.0

Hi,
I try to update Google Maps to version 5.7.0, but Android Market claims that "This app is incompatible with your android."
regards

I got update notification from Market itself. I chose to update and it works well. Not sure why it is giving you this error.

I installed after using Market Enabler and changing the country to USA.

Thanks, problem solved.

Just had the same thing - strange.
Used market enabler to fake location but no joy.
found the apk here
Installed fine and seems to work perfectly

why is it not compatible in the first place??
the sgs2 has the fantastic hardware (dual core and ample ram) and the latest android version.
why slower phones able to support but not the s2?

There is no problem with the phone! It's perfectly compatible with the latest google maps version.
It's a problem of some locations, as not all locations have access to the latest google maps version. Android market will check your location first and if it is not entitled for an upgrade you will get this error message.
The workaround is to fake your location as mentioned in previous posts.

I'm on 5.9.0 which was pushed through the market. No probs! BTW, I'm in the Netherlands.

Here is the cause of my problem - running a DPI that differs from the norm

for me was the dpi. Change to stock (240dpi) and everything is fine

I doubt that's the issue. I run 210dpi and i can install it through the market. Even if the online (desktop) market says 'incompatible with your device' you can still search it and install.

Google Play Services on v5

I installed v20a on my G3 which came with Google Play Services 1557022-730
I updated this with Google Play Services 6.5.87 1599771-438 after reading that this the correct file for Android 5
Not sure if I should have done this. I'm not having any issues but think I should ideally install a 730 variant. The trouble is I can't find one anywhere.
Anyone have a 730 apk or know where I can get one? APK Mirror has every variant apart from 730.

I think you'd have to downgrade. I installed the 6.5.87 438 too. Didn't see anything weird, apart from the usual nlp wakelocks.

i installed that version too, but some things don't work, such as smart lock (for me), and when connecting to smartwatches, it says 'sync loop', it is connected, but drains too much battery.

Oh... I wouldn't know, I don't use any of those features. I have severe slowdowns due to synching, but I'm greenifying Google Play Services, and I think it doesn't like when I do this.

Seems the new version compatible with lollipop has been pushed today so I guess no need to tinker with this apk file

Guess this is the one to install now:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-services-6-5-87-1599771-430-2-apk/
In case another version was installed (like 438 or whatever) that needs to be uninstalled (in order to do that disable the Play Services - Android Manager from Security -> Device Admins; uninstall updates; apply the new version and re-enable things in security).
LE: Trusted places is enabled with this new version but I am not sure it actually works
LE2: Trusted places indeed works! Just my location was off.

In my case, it works at home but not at work (maybe GPS reception is bad inside the building)

What I did to make it work was "teach" it some locations based on network which seemed quite accurate but weren't spot on as the GPS ones (and also my home location seemed to be way off before - guess I set it up randomly before since it was in the general "ballpark").
Off topic but helpful (I hope):
Also as a tip, if you want to force the lock screen (and temporary disable smart lock) you can just tap the "lock" icon that appears on the screen - for me that was not that obvious (though now makes sense since it kinda works as in stock lollipop).
Still LG kinda made a mess of the screen and it's a shame they use only half of it for notifications and keep the bottom half restricted for unlock options. Maybe in new versions they will reconsider a strategy similar to what stock does ... but that is highly off - topic.

Don't we need 730?

On APK mirror is mentioned that the 730 versions turned in 430 versions. I have 430 installed now and seems to work just fine. At the moment I couldn't find a 730 newer that 6.1.88 which comes preinstalled.

I just flashed the (slightly) newer version of 20a - had the lgbbs version before - and this came with Google Play Services 438.

There is the Poland version which comes with 6.1.88 (730) and the lgbbs version which I am not sure what contains (I didn't check when I had that installed). Which slightly newer one did you flash?
Nevertheless 438 seems reasonable, being the highest dpi available, however I can attest to the fact that on the 20A Polish version with 438 I didn't get trusted locations however that gets enabled with 430 (of course using play services version 6.5.87).

I got the one from this xda thread
Doesn't seem any different apart from coming with Google Play Services 438. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, only just finished setting things up.

Interesting, I got 730 ... well, good to know, I am curious though if you flash play services 438 from apkmirror if Trusted Location gets enabled ... would be interesting to know ...

Trusted locations only appeared after I enabled GPS - by default the G3 has battery saving location mode set.

Having said that the trusted location is a bit too wide to be secure. I use Tasker to switch off security when connected to my home network.

Bloatware

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

Just disable them and move on. If Disable is greyed out, use Package Disabler Pro. Also, apps are pre built into the system as system apps, so unless you find an untouched original firmware and flash it through odin, it will always have bloatware. I've disabled 137 samsung apps/services and my phones running like a beaut lol.

So all those websites saying that buying from the manufacturer is better because you won't have all that carrier bloatware are wrong? I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Although I did disable a few regular samsung apps like internet, calculator, clock, my files, and i think a few others. Just scroll through the list anf checkmark what you want disabled, and leave the things you want enabled unchecked.

Honestly I dont know, I havent bought a phone from a carrier in 5 years. I just go straight to the source. Just use PDP

Once you activate it with a carrier they load their programs onto the phone during activation. Sprint does the same and you can uninstall most of it except for a few.

This is the correct answer, in order to prevent this from happening - go through the activation process without a SIM inserted.

My understanding is that all of the Note 7 versions shipped to carriers install the boatware automatically in the initial setup based upon the first sim that is installed.
So if you took a clean Verizon Note 7 to tmobile it would setup tmobile bloatware instead.
I haven't been able to find out if it is cleared upon reset. I don't know if/when it will be possible to have a bloatware free version here without going with a carrier that just doesn't offer a full version Note 7. It is an awesome phone one way or another!

Unless you found the unlocked, non-carrier branded Note 7 on Samsung's site that they have yet to release then you got carrier bloat. It's not enough to order FROM the manufacturer but it has to say unlocked as the S7 they released is .. there are S7's marked for carriers which will have Samsung bloat and carrier bloat whether it ships on the phone or is downloaded during setup.
Again, you have to have purchased the unlocked, non-carrier branded version. This has not been released yet. Now .. once it has the ROM from that version will make it's way out and you can flash it. Then you'll have what you thought you purchased. :good:

Sorry, that's incorrect. The carrier branded devices have the carrier specific 'bloatware' baked into the signed firmware package. For example, I set up my T-Mobile branded note 7 before I put my SIM in. The tmo bloat was already there.

Someone please list a complete list of Bloatware that is safe to remove from carriers thanks

Here is the list of apps I have disabled with Package Disabler Pro on my Verizon Note 7. I am sure there are other apps that could be disabled if one wanted, but these are the ones that I felt I didn't need/want and have had zero issues since disabling. This has seemed to free up more RAM, and I also think is helping with battery life a bit. Here is the list:

Good Lock on country restrictions?

Hi.
Is there any way to pass over the country restrictions to install and use Good Lock? I got the N975F and cannot install it from the Samsung App Store because of that.
Thanks!

This has been discussed at lenght, you can download "nice lock" and "nice lock downloader companion"
Search for it here in XDA

Nicelock has problem with Quickstar modules where disabling battery icon works but upon reboot, it will appear again. Have to manually go into nicelook -> Quickstar to disable again. Annoying. That's why I went back to goodlock using vpn tricks.

Fine Lock PRO is a waaaay better Good Lock alternative. It links you to APK Mirror, notifies about updates and even gives some really good advice, advice I'm copy-pasting here:
Fine Lock said:
To activate/deactivate NotiStar, and keep QuickStar changes after reboot, you need Good Lock installed. You can grab it from here. After installing it, you can hide Good Lock icon from the launcher. I don't know what happens behind the scene but it needs to be that way. Otherwise, it won't work.

Um..tried Fine Lock Free version from google play. Same problem with nicelock w manual hide for battery icon issue. Not gonna shell out pretty penny for the pro version since the free version doesnt work.

Directly Install Good Lock & Galaxy Labs Apps (and all their modules) from Galaxy Store

The safest way to install good lock and galaxy labs apps and its modules is thru the Galaxy Store. But it's officially available to India and USA users only. Here's the workaround if you are from other places:
1. Eject your sim tray.
2. Install a VPN app and connect to a US location.
3. Perform clear data on galaxy store app.
4. Open galaxy store app and you can already search the Good Lock and Galaxy Labs apps. You can now install them and the modules inside them.
5. You can now reinsert sim tray and disconnect vpn.
You can watch this video if you want a visual guide/demo:

Not hard at all. You need to install the core app, Good Lock first before anything else in that family.

And what makes you think this is not a safe source? I think anyone who doesnt have access to good lock should just install from APK Mirror.

On another note those who cant get it can also try Nice Lock

True that, great for calling me out on that.

Scan it with online with Virus Total and see what's there before you install it...
While I never found any viruses with it I have found files that shouldn't have been in the app. Probably were harmless but better safe than reloading.

it could be for, to us at least, trivial reason of not being translated into other languages

Still doesn't support Europe even after downloading and installing the app.
If you are not in one of the supported countries, the instructions in the first message is the only way.

Why are you guys not using nice lock?

I don't think it's translating that's an issue. It's not available here in the Philippines and we're known to know how to speak/understand English.

All OK it works perfectly, I used another VPN, Thanks and sorry for my english

thanks for the solution my friend, I have only one problem, after day or two, good lock becomes unusable again with network error, says:
"There was a network or server error. Try again later - 401."
If I want to use it again, I have to do the whole procedure again, can somebody maybe help me, do you know some kind of workaround?
Cheers

I was also wondering if after this procedure one will keep getting updates even if the apps continue to work.

Good Lock is checks for updates at least once a day.
Probably how you're getting flagged.
However if you Firewall block it at least on my device it continues to run regardless.
Try that.
I use Karma Firewall, freeware with no ads and extremely low battery usage.

Thanks for the answer. I use alliance shield to firewall it, I block all data, but last time it went through anyway. Now i disabled galaxy store and works for now, will update when I know more.

It should be good to go as long as you block Galaxy store. I firewall blocked the Good Lock apks as well just to be on the safe side...
