What's up with Google play? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the market is now called Google play? just got upgraded...
Edit: just googled it... it's a known fact, I just wasn't expecting it...lol

Just uninstall updates on market, wipe the market app data and open up market and boom, Play Store. Looks exactly the same

indeed it looks silly...

Its dumb. I hope they change it back. Who comes up with these ideas. I should be working for Google's marketing department.

If google wants to brand their product with Google, they should have call it Google Market... I do agree that they should put their name out there but Google play doesn't make sense. Unless its only for music or games...

Netflix App for Android released?

"We're also glad that it comes with a built-in Netflix app"
http://ces.cnet.com/8301-32254_1-20027663-283.html
anyone else catch this little golden nugget in reference to hands on with the LG Revolution and see it on the video. they did not say if its a streaming app or the one from the market that only lets you manage your queue but i doubt they would release a phone with an unofficial 3rd party app pre-installed on it.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110105..._remote_control_button_deal_indicates_as_much
"Netflix, the popular video streaming and online movie rental service, not only has iPhone apps, Android apps and allows consumers access to their rentals via online access, but now the company is apparently taking over remote controls as well."
gotta get that apk!

Have you read the reviews? Tons of one stars. Ill wait.
The netflix app isn't out yet. I think its going to come pre installed on that phone, and the app should be in. the market by the time the phone comes out. And that app in the market now isn't made by netflix.

Exactly. It's not the official app.
BTW the Thunderbolt RUU leaked and maybe a dev can look in the ROM file and pull the apk if it exists in that phone.
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymDAuyiMds
The long-rumored Netflix app for Android is confirmed in the following Verizon LG Revolution 4G demo as being pre-installed on the just-announced phone (expected in the next few months).
Due to DRM issues, the Netflix app will not be released on all phones, and Netflix has not confirmed the phones that will get the Android app yet.
via AndroidCentral. Thanks to FearNo1, Steve and Kevin for sending this in.
well if not all phones now, but soon google did buy the DRM company that netflix uses or something to that extent
lets hope for a rru leak for the LG Revolution
If it's as good as the Netflix app that the iPhone uses then we will be in good shape!

Most likely it won't be as good. The iPhone apps tend to be better than the Android version.
Even if the apk is in the ruu for a different phone, will it even work on the Evo?

It should. They may need to tweak it like they did the NFL verizon app.

It probably has a bunch of deep DRM stuff in the ROM. I don't think it will be as simple as inserting DB file into a system folder.

Its ok I guess, would have been cooler/funnier if they auto-tuned it lol.
dangit can't find either in the market wtf
I like the game but I can't see texts when they come if I'm playing. My notification light blinks and I have to ask whoever I'm texting to resend. I think it might be because of high minfree's. Happened on MikG and Synergy
Are they only in market if you have GB? If not whats the exact title of the game if you dont mind b/c i can't find either of em.
This is in the Amazon app store only.

i was having a hard time stopping playing too.....
until i reached level 4-3, and now my EVO goes into a reboot halfway through the level. anybody else experiencing this?
awesome game though. glad i scooped it up when it was free on amazon.
While there's little difference in terms of content, PvZ is actually MORE addicting on a laptop (andahemahemiPadahemahem). Cheers to the Amazon app store.

Sounds like a pretty bad choice of name when you put it that way..
Odd branding change. If anything, I figured it would have been "Google Market". Going away from the Market (Marketplace) name could be a bad advertising drawback, as ads mention "Google Market(place)" specifically.
Not a big fan, but I guess it is their apps that we use.
The name change is to prevent lawsuits btw.

I like the new name/update. Yeah, it screws up with the whole advertising scene, but eh... the market is slowly becoming a more refined/dynamic experience at the same time :3
They do have some pretty good cheap games. Got deadspace and world of goo. Both pretty fun.

Old as in what? Someone in their 80's? Myself and quite a few others are grandparents on here...so what exactly did you mean?
I wonder if this will annoy Sony, considering they have an Android device called Play.
I just think the whole thing is jarring. The market app right now is telling me to 'play' a book. I don't think that word means what they think it means.

I played that game til about 2 a.m. this morning. Way fun on the Tab.
For those who take issue with the name change, you are not alone... but Google did this for a much bigger reason that we can only speculate. I imagine they will be making a very large development that we will all like and forget that it used to be called the market.

Android Market is now Google Play Store

Couldn't find my android market... was freaking out and trying to fix permissions, do searches, install different ones manually, but they would always disappear after a reboot. Did some research and come to find out that google updated it automatically and changed the name to Play Store in the app drawer.
I'm running aokp milestone 4, not sure if it will upgrade to this on other devices but yeah, if you can't find your market search for play store.

haha, I would think everyone would have [previously] Market on their home screen.. maybe not though.
And yeah, I believe every Google Market app will [if they haven't already] auto-update. It updated on mine, THS ICS 6.5
I think the name Google Play is lame and the icon sucks too.. Sounds and looks like a media player..

best part is that they changed it all, so it's google play store instead of market, play music instead of music, play video instead of video, play books instead of books.

Google renamed it to brand the app store across all there divisions
