awful, AWFUL name. seriously, these "marketing geniuses" are a bunch of idiots. why didn't they just rename it to Google Market and be done with it? Google Play? what the hell is that? some 12 year olds toy? market is much more of a mature sounding name.

i'd hate to tell my customers, "oh sign up for google now so you can get into Google Play!"

no.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
i heard it's a screen resolution issue, :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
Are there no other phones with the same resolution/screen size on the market? I'm extremely disappointed at the support our phone receives. Does the Vivid have poor support too?
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Yep I got the update today as well.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Exactly my thoughts.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

There aren't too many phones on the market with a 720p screen if I'm thinking correctly.

It's the same shi... with different odor... awful change, awful name...

Love the phone, don't get me wrong but does it feel to anyone else like we're kinda overlooked in general. The hype was huge but it feels like when I got my myTouch 3G Slide. The hardware was wonderful and was pretty solid. Then the Vibrant was released 2 weeks later. The Slide got overshadowed and forgotten. Did they ever get an official 2.2 update?
[HTC Rezound] jscarano:
Just got my update 10 mins ago. Name definitely sounds dumb and so is the icon.
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I got the new version and the first thing I did was change the icon and remove the label. Now it's like old days. Ahhh, yesterday.

Uninstall updates through your rims app manager and use titanium backup to freeze market updater :) problem solved

Google play... Sounds pretty childish to me. Android Market, Google Market... Much more professional. This is crap. Luckily mine hasn't updated yet.

Edit: SOB it just updated.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
How is it different than the old market?

I see it also updated Google books...

Is any functionality actually different? Or is it simply bringing all the cross mobile/desktop/hometheatre apps under one name?

It touts the "cloud" as saving your books, but isn't that already the case? and with google music?... anyway. If it's just marketing for a convenient name for the entire product line I can get over it...

EDIT: found my answers: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p=play_faq&answer=2490014

and yes, it's as i suspect.. everythings the same, just a universal name.

other then the update, i see they're doing a $0.49 sale. Shadowgun is one that's actually featured on the main splash, but I noticed while browsing that Dead Space is $0.49 also.

Is there a listing of what's currently $0.49 ?

I went into Market this morning, was asked to agree to Google Play terms, said okay, Market page has the new play deals. Icon did not change. Neither on my screen nor in the app drawer.
[HTC Rezound] redrumsilence:
Reboot your phone, the new icon won't replace the old one, but there should be new icon in your app list, you'll have to get shot of the Market icon from your home screen as well

:)
[HTC Rezound] Sax1031:
Same here. Asked me to accept terms for Google Play but the app itself remains the same.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What do you mean by that?
[HTC Rezound] redrumsilence:
Just remove it from the home screen :)
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I use an app called Folders Organizer. I primarily use it to create folders (email, tools, multimedia, games) which I then use on my home page. When you click on the folder, the apps assigned to it are then shown.

So I don't need all the app icons on the home pages to quickly find what I am looking for a use.

As a by product, you can use it to change the title and the icon for the applications as well. to use the new look, you add it to your screen as a widget using that app and its new shortcut and it then acts like a normal app button, but you can change the name (remove the name if you want etc).

Been using it since I got my first droid.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
^ I used that to change my icons.

Now that I understand. It was the "get shot of it" or whatever you said before that I didn't get. ;)

Anyway, phone rebooted and icon still didn't change.
[HTC Rezound] redrumsilence:
Mine didn't change, the Market icon dissapeared from my app list, when I tapped it on the home screen I got the "this app is not installed on your phone" pop up

Had a look through my app list, and the Play Shop was there

Have you done the uninstalling updates and wiping cache/data from the Market app in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market?

I did that after I got the Play Store redirect and when I went back into the market it got the new version and delete the Market from my phone, took me a while to realise though lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
It's working fine so I think I'll just leave it as is. Still Market, v3.4.4. It shows all the Play deals and I can purchase them if I want. Am I going to miss out on anything?
[HTC Rezound] redrumsilence:
Not that I can think of, though you may wind up running into problems trying to purchase apps, but I'm not sure :/

Ur a good man for paying for music i cant remember last time i did that. Id never pay i dont care if it was a dollar an album.

Also to eceryone who said market asked to agree to terms but never updated it will eventually. It took like 6 hours for mine to change after i acceoted the termes.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
On my phone, I had the market ask for acceptance of terms 3 times over a period of several hours.

The last time, it started out different and had a Google Play Icon in the center o the screen and asked me to accept the terms again. After it did that, I had the new Icon and the app no longer referred to itself as Market.

I then redid the icon and renamed the app, but it is still the Google Play app, just says Market.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Finally changed itself but I didn't have to re-add it. The Icon changed and opened the new market.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Not true. Just downloaded a $0.25 album to my home server...

EDIT: the album was purchased via Play Music not Amazon. I'll try Amazon later.

Also, I always pay for music. One, the artists deserve it and two, I'm not getting sued by RIAA for $1,000 of unpaid music. Some chick got fined around $150k for less than $3k of "free" music.

My wife's phone upgraded this morning and I captured what the screen looks like when the app actually does the full update. If you have not seen this screen, your app has not done the full update yet.

After that, her market and icon updated. So I placed one on a home page and then created a modified one that says market (using Folder Organizer) and uses the old icon on the same page:

They both go to the same place as they are pointed to the same app.

BTW there is a video from Google about "Google Play" - YouTube Link.

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Using Google Play (the former Market) look for My Music. This will provide you with a list of your purchased music files.

Menu, and select Make Available Offline. You can then checkmark what you want.

Kind of clunky.... I get most of my music from Amazon (DRM Free) and do what I want with it, where I want.
[HTC Rezound] redrumsilence:
You're telling me, the worst possible name they could think of lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I give up. How did you do that?

I tried and the original icon was no where to be found, by me anyway.

So then I restored the original Market using Titanium, saw the icons back. Went into Folder Org. and made the Adobe app have the Market icon. Restored Play, saw the new icons were back. Went to the page where I put the altered Adobe app with the Market icon (that is pointing to Adobe now) and it's still there along with the new icon for the Play app. Went back to Folder Org. via widgets > app etc... same way I changed my other icons, and still can't find how to put the original Market icon back since I can't find it anywhere where I can select it.

It has to be somewhere since it's still on my screen... where is it???
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Everything goes to the cloud. I am not a big fan of that myself. I buy it on Amazon MP3 app, which matches the price and then I uploaded it to the cloud so my wife has access to it. If you buy off the market place and try to play off line, it saves in a weird format that may not transfer to other music apps.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You can get good deals on emusic. But it is one of those where you sign up for a plan, but for $99.99/yr you get $11.99/mo of music and their prices are great and no drm.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
In both cases, I did the shortcut before the market updated, so the icon was there in the Application Icons when I set it up.

I went looking for the icon and while it is using it, I can't figure out where it is storing it. So I pulled it from an old vending.apk, the image of which is attached. There are actually a couple other colors of the same so I included them as well.

[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
Oh, I thought you meant downloading then from the website interface. They'll still download as mp3 on your phone, but AFAIK, won't show up in other music players because they're really just cached information. You'd have to move and rename them, but the format should be okay.

That sums up the whole reason I buy it off the Amazon MP3 store if the price is matched. A lot easier especially since once I back it up to my computer, google music automatically uploads the new music to the cloud.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vma:
Hi,

I git Kies to work fine using WIFI.

It will connect and after a few seconds, I can i.e. sync with Outlook.

Today I got my 32 GB MicroSD and I filled it with media on my laptop and popped it into my Galaxy Note. The media works, the card is recognized, all is well.

BUT: I tried to sync again, using Kies on WIFI. I will get a connection, but I can't see the items for syncing. The mouse over the connected device will say "Loading..." (in Portuguese - nit sure what the word is in English).

I repeated, uninstalled/installed Kies, etc.

I can sync fine using USB, but I would like to be able to do so using WIFI.

After like 2 hours of messing around, I removed the MicroSD and tried again: now it works!

Question: what on earth has the MicroSD to do with Kies over WIFI???

Can it be that there is a strange file? Then why does it work using USB?

Can it be that I simply have too many files and WIFI takes so much longer than USB to list the files? (I have it like this for almost an hour and still I can't see the media folders on the left or the top menu bar with the sync options)???

Any ideas?

Cheers,

vma

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosher:
Yes, it's called MyPhoneExplorer. Free phone app and the PC client app is also free. It syncs the various Outlook components really well and you can also backup / sync files between the phone and PC. Very impressive app.

Thanks.

Will try that one.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vma:
WOW!

This program is really good! Had to search for a second to find the Outlook sync option and you are required to exit Outlook in order to do the sync.

Other than that, it works flawless over WIFI, thus sparing heavy use on the MicroUSB port.

But the best of all, is that one gets a Note-App that syncs with Outlook's notes!

@original_ganjaman: oops! thanks!

@all:

The original question is still in the air. Why doesn't Kies work over WIFI with my new 32GB card inserted?

Cheers,

vma
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vma:
Found the fix!!!

Kies will work over WIFI ***ONLY*** if the SD card is unmounted!

You will have to go to Settings - Storage - Unmount SD card.

Then you can activate Kies over WIFI

And now it will work.

Very stupid thing, which cost me some time to realize, though I was close to nail it down, when I removed the card physically. I thought it had to do with the amount of files, but it doesn't: it rather gets in the way with the internal storage, which is a mounted SD as, well.

As a side note: has anyone opened up the Samsung Galaxy Note, to check if the internal SD can be upgraded with a 32GB one? Is it a real MicroSD, or is it a soldered flash chip?

Cheers,

vma
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
Thanks, you just saved me an hour, trying to figure out why Kies over WiFi refused to work.

This is just stupid, if it doesn't support a mounted SD card you have to make a whole lot of operations just to move some music to your Note.

Koreans and Japanese are the same, they basically think that end users are numbnuts, so they restrict everything they can do.

Just wondering since Google is updating the android market to a newer version that's all encompassing (music, apps, books, movies) called Google Play, if our rooted KF's are going to see the update OTA or if we'll need to sideload it? If sideloading will be the option, will it be the same as sideloading the current market .apk or will we need to employ new steps? Thx

Here is link to apk from rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20095-android-market-apk-google-play-3612/

Go into the settings of your phone, then apps (all), then go to the market app.

Do a 'Clear Data' on the Market app.

Next time you start up your Market app you should have to agree to terms, and then the app will update to Google Play.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANOinSD:
Hi All,

I'm probably one of the few here who is still using HoneyComb instead of ICS on my Xoom. I've been on 3.2.4 for some time now, and started getting the 3.2.6 update notification which I blew off until the other day when I said screw it, I'll update and go through the trouble of re-rooting, etc.

However, I attempted to use Solarnz's universal root method which I've used numerous times before and never had an issue with until now. So after pushing the recovery.img via Fastboot, everything appears to have been completed just fine, except when I reboot into recovery I get the damn android with an error.

I've tried pushing a few versions of recovery and each time it seems to work just fine, but again on reboot, I can't get into recovery like it never got pushed or somehow has been erased. I can even revert back to 3.2.2 and update to 3.2.4 and root and re-install clockwork no problem. But I keep getting that damn update notification every 5 mins, and I'm sick of it, hence why I bothered to update in the first place.

I know most people have by-passed this altogether by jumping to ICS, but I've had too many issues with the beta ICS versions out there (WIFI handoffs and disconnects mostly) and need to reliable daily driver vice ICS goodness (fortunately I have a GNex for that).

Anyway, since I hadn't seen much on this, I decided to post and see if its just me, or if this really is an issue?

I can probably go old skool and use the manual root method of pushing the SU files via ADB, but something isn't right here, and I wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks
