Hi there,
I have a Nexus 4 8GB with the original ROM and not rooted, and I'm from Vietnam.
I have found an issue with my Nexus. As I browse through the app list via Settings > Apps > All, I can't find the app Wallet and Google Play Books. Then I open the Google Play Store app, search for Wallet, and the Google Play Store shows that Wallet is disabled. The same to Google Play Books app.
Is this an real issue with my Nexus?
Thanks for your help!
A issue with your nexus no. Sounds like those apps are not allowed/active in your part if the world.
Yeah, those apps are only available in some parts of the world at this time. There are ways to get around it though if you do a little searching

It means that Google Play Store had done the disabling and hinding these apps? Since my Nexus is an USA version.

Today I was playing with the XOOM at the Verizon store and I did not find Launcher Pro at the Market store, do you know why ?, is Google filtering the apps that are not Android 3.0 compatible from the Market ?, thanks
android market is filtered by device type. so you won't see apps that are not compatible with your device. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but this is how it is.
Launcher Pro sucks on the Xoom, IMO. I side loaded it from my Droid, then deleted it, waste of time.

This is true. Believe it does the same thing for devices held back on 2.1 or 1.6 etc. and apps that only work on 2.2+

Search is your friend, a link to the developer web site or beta .apk was posted somewhere in here.
Sideloading the cell phone version is a fail, but I understand the in development tablet version is pretty slick.
Or failing that a google of the developer web site will lead you to what you want.
This has been reported in other threads but no here.
Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market. Sounds nice, but whats behind the shiny chrome?
any way of forcing the update? Tried the old clearing data/cache/fc-ing, reboot ....but to no avail. am I to assume we must wait for it to roll out?
Google says that the update will roll out in the next days

49 Cent apps to celabrate.
My phone just auto-updated. Just had to re-accept the EULA and it was just like the normal market. Not sure about my TF since it is at home right now.
Mine just got updated.
Want the apk ? http://db.tt/T8m8eJW7

thanks installed just fine
I'll have to get used to this. The icon and the new spot in the app drawer will throw me off for a few days

Mine updated also. I like the old name better
yeah they should have kept the name but just merged the other services.
Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks
Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7
Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.
Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)
Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?
Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

Are you abroad at the moment? If you have a wifi only nexus 7 device, market is tailored to each specific country you are accessing the play store through. That could be the reason why you can access it on your phone because you are using a provider from a country that has access to those google features. Not all countries have access to movies or books from the google market.
I am in the UK. i havent changed anything afaik. and the fact that certain things are one phone but not tablet. im rooted and bootloader unlocked using the latest stock build

Odd then. Well if you are up for it, a possible solution to dance around the problem (although it doesn't necessarily solve it...) would be to follow this guide to gain access to those services again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28259205#post28259205
Your device is already rooted so that saves you one big step. It's simply a way to get around Play store blocks on its features, so it will *maybe* fix your problem since its the Play store that is preventing your device from accessing google movies and books.
I installed the Netflix APK but it always it needs an update and then links me to the amazon store and their version of Netflix.
Can i make Google Play my Default Store?

With the HD10 it's easy once it's rooted. I believe DragonFire1024 mentioned something about making the Play Store default on the 8, but I never bothered since I allow the auto updates now that I got Google Assistant working
I almost feel like now that I've slept on it there might be a thread somewhere with instructions... I think you have to set it as like a system app or something... I'll do some thread searching after coffee and edit this post accordingly.
