Play store - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that when I check for installed updates on my Nexus 10, there is no info about why there is an update, what changes are made. When I check from my Nexus 7 or my smartphone there is. I don't apply updates to apps I seldom use.

Are you referring to the "What's New" section that shows the changelog? If so, once you've selected the app in the left column, you then need to tap on the app icon to the right when it shows up to see the info (or anywhere left of where you see the options to open, update, or uninstall). The reason that info shows up automatically on your Nexus 7 and phone is because it's a different layout. The Nexus 10 shows the tablet layout for the Play Store, while the N7 and phone show the phone layout.

Thank you, got it now.

I have 2 questions....

OK, first off let me start by saying that this tablet is amazing. For 200 bucks it cannot be beat. I am very happy with my purchase.
My first question is just out of curiosity, I remember when I was watching the reviews for the nexus 7 when it was first announced, When you booted up the device it had a really cool splash screen that had an animation that went from top to bottom I'm not sure if any of you remember it. Was this removed because I do not have this splash screen on my device. Mine is just the big glowing X.
My second question is when I go into google now I noticed in a lot of screenshots the background on the top menu portion would change depending on your location. I live in new york and I happen to come across a screenshot of someone's google now and it had the menu with the brooklyn bridge on it which looks pretty awesome. unfortunately mine only has mountains which is what it came with by default. I know it depends on location but if I live in new york why isn't it changing my background in the menu? I have all of my location services active so I don't think that's the problem. Is there anyway I could push this over to my device. Thanks in advance.

the splash screen you referred to might be the developers version of nexus 7..i think
The new splashcreen is stock jelly bean.

from the comments on that video:
This is the old one. They removed it after the OTA. The OTA was released a couple of hours after the tablets were given out. I pulled the animation as soon as I turned that sucker on. I have made it available on Aniboot ( play.google.com/store/apps/det*ails?id=com.socaldevs.aniboot ) It currently is on both 1280x720 and 1280x800 devices, soon to be tested on 1024x800 devices. App needs root, but its completely worth it. Go check it out!

That sucks I wonder why they did that I thought it was cool.
Any info on the google now location background in the app itself?

How do I star a location in Google Maps on a Nexus 7

For the life of me I can't figure out how to star an item in Google map on this device.I don't see a star located anywhere on the interface except as a possible layer.
good point..
You'll find it in the settings tab.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I feel like that is an incredibly convoluted way to add a star. However, thank you for the help and showing me where it is.
I typically just long press where I want to star, and open the pop up, there's a star to check in the box.

Is there a setting or limitation to certain locations that can be starred? Or a sequence that needs to be followed because I tried selecting a location then clicking on the 3 vertical dots but do not see the Add Star option. Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
By the way, I did a search for Virginia and the ability to add the star shows up without having to go into the settings or 3 vertical dots menu. This is quite odd and inconsistent behavior correct?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Ok I figured it out. Looks like you need to use the Clear Map function sometimes then click on the location you want to get the Add Star option to appear.

Is there a way to turn off the extra panes in the gmail app on the N7 ?

I somehow don't feel the need to see an extra pane showing me labels and all. On top of that I think it's killing the precious space. I just like the plain jane look with just the email list or the email details.
Is there a way to turn off the panels ? I would want to get the same look as what I had in my NOTE.
Can't believe that no one replied here.

Use other apps???
I have the same question as u.....can't fix that, I just took it...

On my Nook the app is single pane.....not sure what would happen if I sideload it onto the Nexus 7....I will give it a try and see what happens.

Its because of the phablet UI, the app is the same on both devices so sideloading won't do a thing

Sideloading will not work. The version on my Nook is not compatible with the Nexus. Also... on the Nexus Gmail is a system app.

Flash Paranoidandroid. You can change whether it shows in phone mode or tablet mode.

I am sure its a silly question.

What do I need to enable to stop the 4.2 update constantly asking me to upgrade now or later? Usually you can just have the option to skip it no?
I know my phone won't ask unless I search under software updates.
This one pops up on the constant and happy with 4.1.2. Not feeling the terrible reviews on 4.2 so just want to skip it for now or till a more stable one comes out.
appreciate any help.

[INFO] Stop OTA update nagging
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The suggestions in the reply above are the best but they all require a rooted Nexus. Until you root your tablet try on Google Services Framework in Settings - Apps - All column:
1. Disable Notifications - fewer update reminders.
2. Clear Data - forgets an update is ready but may just re-download one.
3. Disable GSF - stops reminders but breaks Google Play Store and others.
I use number 3 as JB 4.1.2 works perfectly.
I have got similar prob but I am on 4.2. hoping this will work.

You can long press the notification and go to app info and uncheck the show notification box as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really don't understand why its setup this way. Wish it was like my S3.
Not really wanting to root this yet, but if the above don't work, may have too.

under "my apps" yes. But I understand that "my apps" and "my orders" are two different things. "my orders" suppose to show all the apps that i downloaded since day one.

Not really. It's supposed to show orders you did. That sounds more like paid apps to me.

meaning that page only shows apps that I purchased and not include free apps that I downloaded? If that is the case do u know where I can view a list of all my previously downloaded apps? I'm trying to find an app I downloaded last time but I can't remember the name, thats why I need like a history or something. Plus I swear last few months I came across a list of all my downloaded app, which include free apps, it was over 180 something
It's in "my apps" -> "all", or at least on your device it's there.

Hit my apps when you're installed apps show swipe right and it should show every app you have installed as long as its still available on play. Sometimes it doesn't show for a while after updating or flashing a new rom . If it still isn't showing after 24 hours I would wipe play data in settings and sign in again and wait if it still doesn't show you could try some of the market fixer apks. Or report it to Google. There should be showing.

You cleared your history and now you want to find something that was supposed to be there.... Then you're outta luck. You're going to have to find that app by hand now.
