Yeah I'm not liking the name changes either, It messes with the way I had my app drawer setup & with what I'm used to.I'm sure I'll get over it but I like the way things were but I guess that's what we have apktool for,lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
No update for me yet, I tried the technique suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bc760:
Just glad I was able to rename mine, I'll get use to the icon I suppose.

This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Cleared my cache for market accepted some agreement for play but still looks the same to me. Simply glad the NFL stuff is off...;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
"Play Store"

I hope my boss doesn't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siljaline:
I read about the move on several sites that announce mobile changes.

Market icon had left home screen as soon as I say the GooglePlay notification, as I assume Google is pushing this since they are losing bucks to others.

Hoping Google gets enough feedback they fix the UI issues that Market did not have. View issues from my device would be one of a few complaints I would have.

now have issue ticket

Edit to add:

Dragged GooglePlay widget to replace manually created Home Screen shorcut, this creates a Market-like home screen icon.

As always, disable AdMob ads via GooglePlay settings, assuming your device | carrier allows you to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Well it is not exactly very professional, is it? How is rebranding the Market to "Play" going to help Android make strides with enterprises?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
I tried the method above but no luck.

I guess I have to wait then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Why would people want to install the apk just for a new icon?

Anyway, it's ****..

1. The name - Play doesn't even make sense. "App Store" "Android Market" "Windows Marketplace" "Amazon Appstore", all words which are related to a place where you can buy things. Play.... Play Books? Play Apps? Seriously?

2. The icons are terrible (Books especially) - No explanation needed

3. It ruins a brand they've built up

The only good thing about all of this is that there are some nice deals. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is only 20p. Although the Books, sorry Play Books app is so bad I can't read a book on it. I also got the Jamie Oliver app that I've always kind of wanted to get but was put off by the price, it's now 49p. Hopefully there will be some other nice deals this week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nccu_eagles:
I wonder how many idiots sat in a focus group or meeting to come up with this mess :mad: Play? seriously? wtf? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
In regards to number 3:

If they need to use a certain name and icon to build a following for an app--they have bigger issues than names and icons. How bored are you guys that an icon and name means so much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I don't think these apk's install like normal apk's.

If I remember right you have to use something like Root Explorer to move the apk to system/app and replace it with the one there, then change the permissions to RW-R-R and reboot, should work then

Would replace the old one by adding .bak to the name so you have it as a back up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Then how do they install from the market :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
I just opened up the .apk from root explorer and installed it. Didn't have to do any of that nonsense. This apk file replaces the old one so no need to copy to system/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Has someone found out how to receive update for Google Play ? I tried clear cache and reboot but no luck at all.

Edit : nevermind guys, install it from .apk file and it works.

Here is the link from Paul O'Brien :

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb_3000:
I just tried this and it works. got the update this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I forgot about the article I read the other day about Google Play. It looks like Play Newspapers/Play Magazines/Play TV are next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Didn't work :(

meh, I'll get it soon enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
If that is true, then Apple iBooks and newstand has a new competitor - Provided Google does it correctly !

Just download and install the .apk file from the first post of this thread, that is how I got it !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jav_:
i think they just wanted to disassociate it with android a bit so maybe other people might use it for videos, music, books, etc without the need for android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Speaking of newsstand, another of the domains was googleplaynewsstand.com.

I forgot to mention before that what I said was based on loads of "play" domains that Google bought up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's clearly what they're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
Play store...

Bad... someone made a big mistake... I hope they realise that it's an awful name...

Perhaps Google Store... but... OK... really play store...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ay33ta:
thanks for the upload
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
I just uninstalled the update,I prefer the old android market.I tried it out all day & just couldn't get used to the new placement in my app drawer.I don't know,I've been reading complaint's all over the place today & I think the age old saying applies quite well here "If it isn't broken,Don't fix it" & that's just how I feel about it.If Google did this to booster Android Market revenue then IMO they should have been more competitive in pricing with Books,Movie rentals & Music,The amazing deals today kinda show people are willing to spend money but they aren't willing to waste it,Maybe instead of just being able to rent a film you should have the ability to purchase it into your library.Just my opinion though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
Your welcome:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I don't know why people have to fuss over the name change and a new icon. Everything still works the same that's all I care about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But it was broken. Associating all of these products with Android is the wrong idea from a marketing and customer awareness standpoint. They need to associate them with Google, not Android. You could have used books, music, and movies without owning an Android device, why did they come from the Android Market?

I agree the branding is terrible, but this is an overall positive move for Google. They had to do this. I think the good points about this move today are muddied by everyone talking about the bad naming convention. There are a lot of great parts to this rebranding from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
I'm not fussing at all,In fact it doesn't bother me like it does to a lot of people,I just didn't like it so I uninstalled it,Problem solved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You will be uninstalling it a lot then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
Now I agree except it wasn't really broken,Not really & the icons could have been designed to match the rest of Androids icons a little better.Also a name change to something like Google market would sound better & make more sense to me & why change books,Videos & music? Everyone knows where to purchase content it's just that content isn't priced to sell imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
Whys that? I will just use apktool & adb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Again, that's all just design. The pure concept of "Android Market" as a source for digital media was a poor one. It was a bad idea from the start to leave it as Android specific, when everything but apps were

not

Android specific.

As I said, the naming isn't great, but the idea is spot-on.

I don't see how you can be so against the rebrand to leave yourself with the "Market" app. Just go with it... You're really going to sit on Market forever as every other property is branded with Play?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
for those trying to upgrade, remove any market app shortcuts from your homescreens. then delete data and force close. then reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Every time you visit the market it will update you, lol. Unless you are silly enough to hack the current one each time they update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohnuhuh:
You can't just delete the MarketUpdater.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
Yeah like I said I agree with you & earlier I mentioned that I would get used to it & I'm not all out against it at all I was just posting my personal opinion,I still haven't updated Google + because I like the old icon better,I have had the Android Market in pretty much the same place in my app drawer for 3 years so for me it's just going to take a little while to get used to it,That's all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
I've been going into the market since I uninstalled the update & haven't been prompted to update yet,I'm sure it will probably happen soon but it isn't every time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:

talking about branding eh....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Actually I didn't have to do anything apart from entering Market and trying to download some updates.

I get told I need to agree to new terms and agreements. Click "OK", and then proceed as normal. Next time I look around "Market" is gone, "Play Store" is there.

And so is Google Play Music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Ha. I pretty much agree with everything that's said here. It's a good move for Google, but Play? Really? I got a kick out of this article, thought it was pretty good: Link

---Edit---

Really weird way I got updated to the new Play Store though. I was checking to see how Google Wallet was doing (seeing if I could add the Google prepaid card), and it said an update was available for my phone and that kinda shocked me. I've never seen that message before, and how could there be an update when my phone isn't even officially supported!? Well, when I clicked update, it took me to the old Market, and showed me the Google Wallet app page with the "Update" or "Open" selection. I clicked update, and it did update correctly. After I went to Wallet and set everything up, I went back to check if maybe Google was supporting my device now (seeing if I could go back to the Wallet app page), and *bam* got the notification to update to the new version of the Market, Google Play. So everything updated correctly, but sadly, I can't access the Wallet app page like I was able to when it told me to update. :( Meh, still can't even add a prepaid card. What a series of unfortunate events.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well, Google Play and Play Store? Both are not good. Google made a major misstep here.

I totally understand why they don't want to have it as 'Android Market'. Since there are many Android Markets in different regions of the world and in a way it refers to a place where Android users can get apps and app updates.

But then it should have simply been renamed to Google Market. It would not have changed the way people refer to it like 'Download Angry Birds from Market' and so on. 'Download from Play Store?'. Yuck. Not only does it sound like broken English, it's also childish and ugly.

I like the design and I like the way they try to incorporate Play as a prefix to everything (Play Music, Play Movies, though Play Books!?), but it should simply be Google Market. More mature, more generic for anything Google would want to sell.

Sorry but no, this does not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
I just got the play update a few minutes ago and now its missing! I got back the Android market on its own! My play app is missing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibsi:
I like the New market, mit sales ;-)

Tankstelle for upload apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just update, and restart the launcher or phone. then re-add the app to your homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
Updated to Play Store this morning and panicked a little while when my Market widget and icon on the home screen and 'Google' folder went missing..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Is anyone else getting the error "update your Google wallet info from a computer" when you try and make a purchase? I'm using the same method of payment (debit) and nothing has changed. Seems odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
I've received the prompt to agree to the Google Play terms of service, however the app still shows up as the Android Market.

Lucky me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stickerbob:
This is what I am experiencing as well. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before that changes. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Likely on a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
In case anyone (not from the US) wondered: No.

Just tried Google Play Movies/Videos via American proxy (in browser). Works fine.

I then tried to push the Google Play Movies apk to my phone and tried to run it "post sign-up" on a normal connection, but that's a no go.

Trying to re-visit play.google.com/movies without a proxy, I get "Sorry. Not available in your country".

So... Unlike Google Music, there seems to be a always-on IP check on your geo-location and merely signing up via an American proxy wont cut it. You will need to constantly use that proxy in order to use the service.

Bummer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
my market updated sometime yesterday, a different name and icon, same market, hey at least we get a week of cheap apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
Oh great! I just got my mother an HTC Evo View 4g (she's a total iPad/apple fan girl) and this is going to **** her head up.

Mom - "David, android is so complex and there is so much to learn. WHAT IS THIS GOOGLE PLAY NONSENSE? "

Me - I know mom. Its not just a bunch of square icons like the iPad. Also Google Play is pretty much a market face lift"

Mom - Well.... that's why I like apple. They don't try to confuse us. They keep it very user friendly even for yentas like me"

Me - "yes mother. PUT A LIVE WALLPAPER ON THAT IPAD! "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salym:
i got it before all of U LOLL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jerol7190:
Check the changelog. All they changed was the name and the logo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You probably have a resigned version of Market installed. Replace it with an unmodified apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kid1da:
Lol gave me a good laugh, but there are a few names that could of been better. The icon isn't a big deal to me. Google Store, Google Market, Android Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No, the only way the Market won't update itself automatically is if you install Market 2.3.3

It updates in the presence or absence of MarketUpdater from 3.X.X onwards.

Funny story (but not really), I was likely the first person to run the CM9 Maguro nightly yesterday. I cranked my Nerd quotient to 11 and trolled the buildbot's console. I'm ashamed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
In tried updating, flashed a zip an all worked fine then I rebooted my phone and it was gone. I tried reflashing and I tried flashing my gapps and then tried flashing play again and I have no market still. But I can find it in my apps settings. Help please :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babymatteo:
correct. I don't notice anything different at all besides the above mentioned changes.

to anyone having trouble installing it, here's another way:

Go into RootExplorer

rename the file to vending.apk and click copy

/system/app

mount R/W

click paste and replace

close everything then boot into CWM and wipe dalvik cache then fix permissions.

And reboot. Voila! Enjoy Google Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coled91:
when is the last time you saw redbulll or target or any other successful company completely change their name or logo? last i checked the monster logo is still green and people are still putting the stickers everywhere.. your comment makes no sense. you want to have a certain name and icon because that builds your following and lets your customers relate.

i think play is probably the dumbest name that google could have come up with. they are getting emailed about this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Your comment makes even less sense. This isn't an energy drink that needs brand recognition amongst a sea of other energy drinks. Last I checked, the market (regardless of its name) was for Android powered devices, and those app markets are somewhat limited to like...two. When is the last time you saw people sporting Android Market stickers? Never. If Google was catering to WP7 and iOS with their App Store, I could see your point. They aren't though, are they.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Why is this such a big deal? I got the update, looked at it for a minute and thought "oh, they changed the name".

I then decided to go on with the rest of my life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thank you.

Thats precisely what I did, once I updated gapps for our rom. Big freaking deal. A name change. Ohnoes!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
So what's the deal here? Is the name and the icon really all they changed? I noticed that in "Play Films" I get a message tha I can't rent a movie because my device is rooted. I read in an other thread that Google Wallet now also checks if you are rooted and if you are you will not be able to ad any card (unablle to test since it's not available on my part of the world).

Is Google trying to "save" us from the bad guys? Not all functions available anymore when you don't stay Stock and unrooted?

Any ideas on that one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Movies for rooted users has been broken for a while now... surely a stipulation in order to get deals with studios for movie rentals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumandroid:
That's odd & I'm aware that should be the case but I'm able to rent films just fine,Maybe cause I'm on a stock deodexed rom.Does anyone have the latest Google Wallet apk?I've searched all over and any link I've found is dead & the new Google play market interfered with the current version I have.Thanks:-)

Edit....Okay never mind I found a link,It's working again :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasperov:
It's almost identical, bar the icons and names.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
It finally changed for me some time last night... I didn't really care.

[HTC Wildfire S] Blaskovic:
I had stock rom for my HTC Wildfire S with HTC Sense and facebook. I had joined contacts - Google account and Facebook friends. Now I flashed to Cyanogen mod 7 and they are not synchronised. But I noticed, that every contact (which was synced before) has Note with hash like: <HTCData><Facebook>id:xxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxx</Facebook></HTCData>

Is there any way to put it back together automatically?

Thank you

** SORRY POSTED THIS PREVIOUSLY IN WRONG FORUM ***

Please mod delete that one. I missed the post in that forum to not post questions there.

***********************************************************

This has been asked before but after 2 hours of searching all I have found is solutions for european GSM or ones from South America.

I downloaded the wrong ROM for my Galaxy Tab 7 inch SCH-I800. When I tried to upload it with Odin it went part way then failed. I disconnected the tab and noticed it was the wrong ROM. I then connected it back up and turned it on the screen came up with the cell phone ! and computer. At this point I found the right ROM to return it to factory. Problem is I cannot get my PC to recognize the Tab, nor any amount of buttons give me anything other than the same screen.

Pertinent data:

I have a Verizon CDMA North American Galaxy Tab SCH-I800.

I have downloaded Heimdal and Odin but neither will work at this point due to my PC not seeing the Tab at all.

The phone ! computer screen is now flashing on and off even plugged into the charger.

The solutions I have found seem to require this:

GSM European version

or

Tab that is seen by the PC

I have neither so I am stuck.

Thank you for any help I really appreciate this. (I just got this phone yesterday).
