Did anyone else Nexus 7 arrive without Play video, play magazine, and play books installed? I searched the play store and found it, but i cant download the apps. I tried downloading the apks and installing it and it installs, but it doesnt show up on the screen. I really need help!!! Please!
I really need these apps because its the reason i bought the tablet.
Also, I must mention that i purchased the tablet from Gamestop and I live on Guam(A U.S. Territory.)
I have a galaxy nexus with all the google play apps, but unable to get them on my tablet!
Any help will do!
Thanks in advance!
Did you buy a new, sealed unit?

i believe that you dont see them because youre in guam, they arent supported there. you can always root your device and check if they are still in /system/app/.

Its weird because my phone is able to access all these apps. My tablet is rooted and I checked /system/app/ and all are there but when I try to launch it, it "Activity not found - com.Google.apps.appname" know what I should do now?
Try checking through Titanium Backup if the app is frozen.
My nexus didn't show the App initially, but it was actually already installed, but was frozen by google due to country restriction.
I unfrozen the app using Titanium, reboot and seems to work fine.
Although I still have to use VPN and Market Enabler to access content on Play, but content I copy through USB seems to work fine on the app.

Actually I have a quick question. Were you able to get the 25 dollar app credit and transformers movie? Because I wasn't able to get any
I don't have the 25$ credit as well, I don't think you can get the credit if you activated your device outside "USA".
Google also double checks the credit card address to confirm your country of origin as well.
Honestly it's not a big deal, there are many ways to get the movie.
I plug in and copied a few movies (including Transformer ) to nexus and they show up and play fine on Play Movie.
My only problem is Play Book & Play Magazine doesn't recognize anything not purchase through Play.
So I have to use other readers (Aldiko) which read my ebook, and magazine.
The interface is not bad, actually better then Play Book/Magazine, maybe give that a try.

Another option, you can Root your device and try running Market Enabler + DroidVPN.
I was able to access the US version of Play and can download App without country restriction.
But I haven't tried purchase as I don't have a US address tied credit card.
The downside is VPN is slow, you have to upgrade Premium account. You may have better luck trying than I do.
But DroidVPN seems down these few days for Upgrading Premium account.
If anyone has other alternative for DroidVPN, please advise?

You don't need a US credit card. Just add a US address to your regular credit card

Cool, I will also give that a try.
I was always assuming the Credit Card must be US issued credit card.

Use Titanium Backup to defrost those apps and they will re-appear.
So when I received my nexus 7 I got the ota update that enabled Google wallet. Supposedly Google now allows you to ad. Any debit or credit card in the app. Unfortunately there is no option in the app for me. I thought maybe I can update it in the play store so I searched for it and nothing came up. I did a search on Google and did find a link in the play store but when I click on it it says "This item is not available in your country or on your carrier."
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...dd-any-credit-or-debit-card-to-google-wallet/
So why isn't this thing updated is it installed as a service I guess with the os because you can't un install it only disable it. I would really like to be able to add other cards
Wallet is for USA only at this time you can only add cards that are registered to a USA address.
For the same reason it will only show in the market for USA devices.

Are you rooted? If so, you'll need to get the updated apk and replace the existing one in your /system/app/ folder and set permissions to rw-r--r--. There's a thread in the General forum with a link to another thread with the updated apk. After you do that and reboot, the app will be updated.

Why is the wallet app not automatically updated? I think even when I was on stock and unrooted, I couldn't see the wallet app from Play Store.
I found some 1.5 wallet apk though that lets me add any card. Can't remember the exact thread it came from though.

Exact same problem here, this should be the last Android device that would be blocked from getting the update!
Go to the Play website using your computer. Click on 'My Android Apps'. Choose the Asus Nexus 7. Scroll through the installed apps until you find Google Wallet. Click it. Click on 'INSTALLED' and it will offer to send the update to you. Send it to your N7, you may need to be on wi-fi, I'm not sure about that. Now you'll have the other options for credit cards. Just ignore the unsupported device banner. Payments work.
I had to wait a bit (like an hour or so) before it was properly notified that I could update it.

Thanks for the suggestion but Google Wallet didn't show up as an installed app. So I found a v 1.5 apk to install and that was fine. Less than stellar experience for a flagship Google device!
Glad you got the .apk and installed. I'm surprised it wasn't in your list of installed apps on the web page from your computer. I did have to scroll to the 3rd or 4th page of apps to find it. In Google's defense, I think they wanted to make it difficult to do on rooted devices because of potential future exploits.

I could of sworn I tried doing this before, and it said my Nexus 7 was an unsupported carrier (which makes no sense). Now it says it's installed though, but then again I am already using the 1.5 apk.
Whats the unsupported device banner? Does it only appear when you make a purchase? I can't say I've seen it yet (but then again I haven't made a purchase while not on stock).

I think I updated it by searching the Play Store from my laptop and installing it. I think I needed to do it for my N7 and GNex.

You only get that if the N7 is rooted. If you are stock, no warning.
Oops, I see you are rooted. I'll take a screenshot and attach what I see.
Anyway, that's what I get on a rooted N7 updated to the 1.5 version.
Yeah I already tried installing through the website before I posted the question is says: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices..."
I figured there was an apk out there but wanted to know why the heck google doesn't support this for it's flagship device (as said above). Maybe it's just certain tablets? Yes I just rooted my tablet the other day but I had the same issue before root, never showed up as an app I could update.
Is it possible to get Google Wallet without the modded apk and by only disabling permissions on the original apk and using MarketEnabler?
I don't think so, but what's stopping you from trying?

If those system apps are on your device you should be able to access them by unfreezing them with titanium backup. Once unfrozen they will be visible, unfortunately with the latest updates Google wallet no longer works for me. (Still had $1.67 left on it too )

Are you using it? How is it? Is it working fine?
If you could disable all location services and connect to US VPN at all time, then google wallet should work... just need to wipe network location and play store data...

Doesn't MarketEnabler spoof that you are in the us? I enabled it and it still says not supported...
Given that Google has stopped giving out prepaid credit and AFAIK you can only add US credit and debit cards I'm not sure how useful this will be.
If I'm mistaken let me know.

Ok so I defrosted all locked Google apps like books and wallet. All of them are useless as they're empty and none of those services work abroad. The free books seem preloaded tho. I'll set up a US proxy and clear the data later, see how it goes. Google wallet wouldn't even open without updating bwt so I sideloaded the newest version but as expected, it simply opens and says it's not available in my country.
Well through a proxy I was able to access all the content from the play store I didn't have access to before. But Google wallet still says instantly that it's not enabled for my device or carrier. But I really don't need it so I'm not going to bother changing my locale, spoofing my carrier and running a proxy. I'll probably go ahead and freeze all those apps again except for books.
If anyone else feels inclined to pursue this, feel free.
Btw there's a guide here

Anyone can check the coding if the apk is safe on xda?
possible to change permissions in order to have the same result as the patched one?

No need to use a modified apk..
Edit the build.prop. Google it.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
If I edit the build.prop, will it change all the app selections in the app store?

I have my nexus 7 for a year and I have in countered an issue. I was travelling to Switzerland (i am not sure if the following has anything to do with the problem) when I wanted a little extra coins on some apps like subway surfers the apps require "in app purchases" and I had seen a friend get all in app purchases free on iOS so I tried to do the same. I downloaded an app and it asked me to change my timezone to Moscow and so I did. The app did not work. I uninstalled it and came back to Sydney and my WiFi bars are Grey and I can access the internet but I can't access Google play services. I have done some research and a lot of users say I have to make sure my timezones are correct and they are. I have rooted my nexus 7 and am running the latest stock android with the new Google play. Can somebody help this driving me crazy!?

Do you have root?
If you have root, you can do the following to turn back to blue :
1)Download latest google play store app. and also google services framework.
2)Install the google play app(do not open the app).(warning:- do not install services framework now.)
3)Open root explorer.
4)Go to system/app. find the google framework services.apk and delete it.
5)Copy and paste the downloaded framework services.apk to system/app.
6)Exit the root explorer app and clear all recents.
7)Again open the root explorer and go to system/app and find your google framework services.apk and install it.
8)Exit root explorer and restart the phone.
9)Now go to settings/apps/all.Find the services framework there click on it and first clear the data then force stop the app.
10)Now restart your and bingo! your wifi is in blue and you can connect google+.
11)If not working then there may be a problem in your wifi router

Of course you can, use APK Share from KN Inc (Play Store).

Oh wow, that's awesome! I didn't realize I could get an apk of a purchased app without root.
Thanks brandogg!
Just trying to do my part. I have Google Drive on my ADT-1, I just use "share" on the KN app and it's available within a few seconds or so. Bear in mind there will still be a handful of apps that don't work.
Also, you're probably already aware of this, but in your web browser (even on Chrome on the Nexus Player or ADT-1) you can go to play.google.com/store and search for apps then choose which device to send it to from there. There are quite a few apps that are completely compatible with the Android TV devices, they just don't show up in the Play Store app (probably because they don't have all the appropriate icon packs, etc). Saves a little bit of time that way.
