OTA update now available - Legend General

Hi,
For those with a Legend on Voda in the UK, the s/w update is now available which will allow you to pick up Layar and Google Goggles (and doubtless some others) from the Android store.
Takes a while, and appears to hang a couple of times (the worse being on the Vodafone startup screen) but works and gets there in the end.
Settings > About Phone > System Software Updates.
Cheers

Thanks, got the update and Google Goggles and Layar

No google standard applications on my Magic (like market/maps etc.)

Very recently I bought via Ebay a new HTC magic.
To my unpleasant surprise I found out that this phone didn't have the standard google applications installed like google market, google maps, etc.
HTC traced the s/n and it turned out that it originated from Indonesia. This country doesn't have a license to use the google applications. (or something like this) Besides that I'm using the phone in the Netherlands with a Dutch provider.
What is this phone without google market....
Now I have lots of questions, but to begin with I've lined up these 3:
-Is there an APK installation available for google market or other google applications?
-If you have any other ideas to get all the google application, then that is welcome too?
-If I decide to do a ROM update will these applications be available and working for me?
Thanks a lot for your responses!
No apk installation found.
But I installed th cyanogen rom update, and all works perfect.

Layar and Google Maps issues on MCR 3.0

Whenever im using Layer and wish to launch Google Maps, the maps application force closes. Have tried reinstalling both Layar and Google Maps with no luck. Is this just a possible compatibility error or am i missing something?
Thanks
It's worse.
Later has disappeared from the Market!
Layar still shows up on the UK Market. Just downloaded a minor update this morning
Why doesn't it show on the Dutch Market.
It's a Dutch app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a little strange. If you still have problems (and a twitter account) get in touch with http://twitter.com/Rhymo He's the CEO of Layar, and tends to reply to you fairly quickly.

OTA Camera update

Just received an OTA update to my legend. Claimed to be a update for the camera. Updating now......
... Firmware now say: 1.31.405.4
New market?
Seems to be a new market app as well, now missing apps are showing up
Anyone noticed any other changes/improvements besides camera/market fix?
My legend doesn't find the update, maybe because it's branded
Try to reboot your phone
Thanks for the tip, but still no update . I'll just wait for some more days
any success on branded phones until now?
This is not fixed in this release:
1)My contanc photoes which are synced with google do have a wrong resolution after syncing with google contacts!
2) HTC browser app doesn't fit google services web sites like (buzz gmail reader) correctly withing a browser window, it zooms them greatly so they become unreadable. Also an address bar covers a web page while page is loading and its very annoing!
3) Search in people app works only in english! I need it to be reachable in Russian also.
cool, thanks for the tip.
Updating on SIM free / unbranded phone now.

It's just a small bug fix for apps not noticing the camera...nothing else, move along people..
Update complete swiftly on a unbranded legend in the Netherlands.
Just updated over the air.
can see all apps in market now. Not any noticable diffrences.
It did how ever fix a weird bug i had. My Stand-bye was always showing twice the amount of time of the unplugged time and showing like 80% battery use its now back to normal wonder if it also makes a difference for my actual battery usage.
Updated on unbranded Legend in Spain.
Finally, Layar is available in Maket and working correcly.
Hungarian Legend updated as well.
^^
Croatian too...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My wifi is fine: working and locating several networks. Also correctly enable and disable from wifi widget.
Market is not able to recognize and update "manually" installed apps. Need to install from Market again (it keeps user settings) to update to new versions.

Google Maps Not loading?

Hi guys
Did anyone update their google maps recently? my phone pushed through a message saying there is a new google map available so i was like "Why not". Now that i did, google maps wont load at all, its just stuck at loading (Though for the first second there is packets sent and received on the 3G network)
I have tried uninstalling the update (But maps still wouldn't work) and re-installing the update (But it still wouldn't work). Does anyone know what to do?
Many thanks ahead if you do know the answer cause maps is one of my commonly used app to navigate around.
Mine loads perfectly fine, even after the recent update... no idea what could be the problem with yours

New Owners need to update Maps

I did not check the version of Maps that was pre-installed on my Note but found that if I selected "Navigation" directly from the the Navigation Icon rather than via maps, that Navigation said that none of my contacts had addresses.
A quick Google search revealed that this was a bug introduced around September 2011 and has subsequently been fixed. Unfortunately my Note had the buggy version pre-installed.
I did not get an "update" alert so went into My Applications and forced an update to "Maps" which fixed the problem.
Hope this helps someone who may be puzzled like me!
