Google Books (wifi only) fix

Google Books website has the solution, although it took some digging to find it.
Go to Settings...Applications...Manage...All
Scroll down until you see "Google Partner Setup"
Open it
"Clear Data"
reboot
You should now be able to launch Google books and see the 3 preloaded books.

Worked for me. Thanks for the info.

U.S. only perhaps?

I just factory reset my xoom to take back (to get the screen fixed) - or i would have tried this in uk...
... re set up my device anyway - done the above - and no google books... doesn't seem to work on the UK vers...

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/365897

Lothaen, I cant even install google books in the uk, market says its not available on my carrier, but it's a wifi xoom... any ideas?

Google books is only available in US.
There are ways to install it anyway, but what's the point? You can't buy any books anyway if you are not in US.

I thought it was pre-installed....
also i thought(hoped) you'd be able to add your own epub/pdf's in.
I'll have to get alkido again then

I was also interested in this and searched a little. I didn't find a way to side load anything to google books app, so I didn't see a point in trying to get it working.
But there was a thread here where was a guide how to get books working, of course i'm not sure if it will work on the European Xoom. Try to search if interested.

I'm in exactly the same position Lothaen, Books is a non-starter for us in the UK.
I am wondering though if one of our American friends with root access could backup the Books apk with Titanium and let us have it? Don't know if it's possible but worth a shot... can anyone help please?
In the meantime I'm using Nook as Aldiko keeps FCing on me.

I don't understand why do you all want it, if you can't use it anyway?

We can use it. I have the mobile version on my phone and I can download all the free books. Also it looks pretty.

This is interesting, I searched but didn't find anything about sideloading, other then forum posts saying its impossible.
Does the UK Xoom have books under Settings> Applications?
If it is there, then a how to get it working is posted somewhere here in the forums.

Sorry I edited my earlier post as I thought I'd seen a post on sideloading but can't find it anymore.
Books isn't on by default on the UK version

Bugs after 3.1,S US Wifi OUTSIDE US

I am in Germany and got the update to 3.1 om my US WIFI
After the update:
+ Books: does not work anymore. Can read one of the three books, two other say: "failure when trying to open the book"
+ Books: shop does not work anymore, says "https:market.android.com/books" is unknown URL
+ Movie Studio Icon is broken, says "app not installed", app under myapps still works, fix: reinstall on home screen.
+ no Movie access in market at all
+ no sign of Google Music at all
Thats it so far

Backup everything and do a factory reset....

All these apps are only available in US, so this is not a bug.

I'd call it a bug anyway.

Could not recreate first Books issue. Movie studio issue is well known here, I think. Easy fix.
Rest are because we are not in USA.

Search for BooksTablet.apk and install it using ES File Explorer, then Uninstall updates. This worked for me.

The movie rental is a known issue by Google. The posted that it is not available at the moment for the Xoom Wi-Fi, even in US.

[q] google store

IN my google store I only have listed on the first page APPS, BOOKS, and MOVIES but I have seen that music is added to the Google Store .. how can I add that, my SGN is a German version with a UK ROM , n7000xxlc1

Google music is only available in the U.S. I'm not sure if there are ways to fool your phone into thinking that's where you are.

I think I read somewhere that you can use proxy service one time when connecting to Google music and it won't be checking if you are in the US next time you visit. But I didn't tried this as I wasn't interested.

[Q] APK Request - Pandora for NP

Hi guys,
Could someone be so kind to get the APK for Pandora on the NP? I've tried every APK Downloader out there and just can't get it from Google Play Store.
If you can't get it but can provide advice ... it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers,
Hendre

Let me know if it works

Thanks but didnt work. Pandora has an APK specifically for Android TV. looks like that was for a regular phone.
Do you have a. NP that you could extract it from please?

I would also love this apk...
Hi Guys,
I'm also Canadian and hate the regional crap with the Playstore.
I would also love to get an extracted apk for the Nexus Player's version of Pandora.
Additionally, is there anyway, to change Google account settings to achieve this?
I'm doubtful, because I had to pay more to get this device, because Google does NOT allow separate shipping & billing addresses like Amazon.com does! So the box had to come to my house in Canada instead of my US Box.
Anyway, any suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks guys.
Dan
