Who has gotten Google Play Games yet? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm running the stock rooted ROM and have yet to get Google Play Games on my phone. Have any of you received the update that has enabled it yet?

I was under the impression it was already on most phones, Google sneaked it in under everyone's noses as a service.
Check out some of the play store games and they should have a section that says things like leaderboards or achievements....
Unless I am missing something?

Check your Google play services app. If its version 3.1. You have it.

Don't think so. It seems like it's integrated with Google services. Play services will show up on games that have been updated with play services.

It's an API Service, not a specific game.
Google Settings > Play Games
This might help:

So there is no need to download this separately? how do I check it's there?

It is being replaced by Google hangouts. Try downloading it from the Play Store.

Its probably uploading. See how it doesn't list the size of the app.

Looks like its a Google problem at the moment. Sure they will fix soon

Got the same. Interesting how the roll-out of all these "new" apps is problematic and a lot of hiccups in the process.
Eh well, they will fix it, like they did with Hangouts for Nexus 7 and so on ...

I would contact Google support it might just be a server error on their side if your build.prop isnt modified it should show up as a Nexus 4
Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0RC5

Thank you, guys for trying to help. And @scream, i did posted at their Android Product Forum,, and no one replied.
But It's now fixed, I created another Google account which actually worked. :good:
Thanks again.
Mine shows up as "Google Nexus 4:"
This app is compatible with all of your devices.
Google Galaxy Nexus
Google Nexus 4
Motorola Atrix 4G
When you log into the Play Store on a desktop using your old account and you select the settings gear, what does it say in the Settings tab?

You mean at the home of Google Play store? The one at the top right corner?
BTW, is 9mm or Gameloft Live compatible with your Device? (Nexus 4)

Is Sonic CD available from the Amazon or Google Play store. That way, it will install properly and you will be able to get the latest version. I haven't had problems with apk files installed this way.
Its in the play store. Is there something I have to do besides having the apk like connect to the play store.

If the title relies on Play Store-related DRM at all, then yes, you will need to have the Play Store working and connected for the title to work.
So to side load paid apps the ouya must be rooted. Is that right.
