Ok, but were you able to install the new version 2.3?

update
After investigation, I found on Google Groups they are aware of the issue and looking to resolve it. Since I can't wait, I downloaded and installed the apk. Voila! it works! I did have some issues signing in, but it worked after a restart.

side-loaded the apk but also getting frequent crashes as others are reporting

[Q] Cannot update certain applications.

Hi gentlemen (and ladies ).
I'm having an issue with my Nexus One (and the misses with her Desire).
Both of them are up to date, stock rom, nothing fancy installed.
I (and her) are unable to install the new YouTube application. We can't find it in the market, nor can we update through AppBrain for example.
So my question to you all is: WHY?
We live in Belgium.
Extra: My Nexus One can't update Amazon MP3 and Voice Search neither.
All other updates work correctly, I just received the GMail update, so that works just fine .
Any suggestions?
I also cannot install the new YouTube app. I've tried a ton of times now, so its not you it must be a problem on Google's end. Should be fixed soon.
Youtube installed fine for me.
Maybe you have a version thats signed differently ? themed?
try uninstalling what you have first.
Try uninstall the app with Titanium Backup and then install from market. This resolves the problem for me

Yup, this is what I've always done. I had to do it with the new Gmail and YouTube apps.
I use root explorer to delete the app from \system\apps then reboot and re-install from market. Simple enough, though I usually still have to reboot between removing and reinstalling.
Kind of a pain but that's what we get for running custom rom's I guess
Well gentlemen, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. The problem is: I don't have a rooted phone. I guess I'll wait for Gingerbread, that'll happen pretty soon I guess

[Q] NST GMarket search

Hi,
I am kind of new to Android (not linux) and I am asking myself, if it is even possible to enable the search function somehow in Google Market.
There are several attempts to do so and some report it working. Unfortunately, the working reports are so old that I am confused weather it is still possible or not.
I have tried several Vending.apk's, even the ones reported working as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15084704&postcount=51
I am on 1.1.2. Maybe someone could confirm/disprove Market search working or not. Then we would know if struggling is worth the task getting it to work.
Thanks for the reply

Use SearchMarket.apk to search for apk's in the market.
It work's if you have registered your gmail account correctly (that is your market.apk works/connects to google play).
http://www.appbrain.com/app/searchmarket/youten.redo.searchmarket?install=appwidget
yeah no, that was not what i meant.
Of course Market is working with a proper gmail adress. I was talking about it being possible to search the market w/o searchmarket app. Like people telling it would work, but most posts are still of 2011. So my question is: Is it even possible to search the Market in nowadays Google Play time w/o 3rd party apps?
Why is searching not possible? IMO, it is because of server restictions, not because of the Vending.apk. Right?
So I assume these "claimed to be working" Vending.apk's are not working anyway anymore, are they?
Thx
How can I get the SearchMarket.apk file for manual adb installation? My Nook Market app won't let me install any app.
Edit: Managed to get it installed by searching for it from within the Browser and installing from the web interface. Weird but after that the SearchMarket app was shown topmost on MyApps in Market and could be clicked, which begun installation.
The problem is Market for Nook only displays a limited # (~15) of MyApps (given I have a Galaxy S3 with 350+ apps installed and that the Nook Market doesn't restrict to Nook installed ones).
just download market search from gstore ....... log on gmail acc that u root ur nst with and go to google store and search ur appz ur desire and download to ur acc ....... once u connect ur nook to wifi ur appz will download successfully , between that i am use market seacher on my rooted nst 1.1.2 and works great till now , try methid above with reinstall market searcher
good luck

Just in case.
youten.redo.searchmarket.apk
The apk itself is free so i guess uploading it here is not illegal.
I recently uninstalled (deleted) the apks of certain android apps like gtalk, calendar from my system/app folder on my rooted NST using root explorer.
Not sure if it is related, but, unable to install any app now from the app market. I use app-brain app market for downloading apps.
I'm able to find the apps, but on clicking on download, it doesn't get downloaded and instead says it is 'downloading' without any apparent change.
Is the problem related to the deletion of certain apks?
Note: haven't deleted any apk even associated with the word download/market.

I'm having the same problem. I was a able to download apps from market a couple days ago but not yesterday or today. I don't think I uninstalled anything in the meantime. Anyone have any ideas?

Solved it. I Had uninstalled gtalk thinking it was unnecessary on the NST but it broke the market.
Installed gtalk and the market started working fine again.
You are sure you didn't uninstall anything?
What is the error btw? It takes you to the download page but the download doesn't begin?

[Q] Google Play Services not working after Lollipop update

I just updated to Lollipop yesterday, and my phone has been having issues with Google Play Services since then. Once the phone had updated, I got notifications saying that it needed to be updated. I started the update and then the phone froze and restarted.
I currently have Google Play Services 6.6.03 (1681564-876) on my phone - but I don't think this is good for Lollipop. No apps that require play services will work, and the battery is draining very quickly. Anyone know how to uninstall this version and install the proper one (whichever that may be)? I don't have this phone rooted. When I try to change any settings with the app, it says that it does not have permission to do so - meaning I can't deactivate or uninstall updates.
Any help would be great!

Just an FYI I had some problems with the google play service crashing after the update to 5.0. I fixed it by installing the google play service from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-play-services-t2795911
I used the "320 DPI, armeabi-v7a CPU & Android" version if that helps.
Good luck.

I gave it a shot, but it wouldn't work. It just says app did not install when I try. I tried using the link from apk mirror, but it was the same version that you recommended.
I assume you have enable unknown sources in settings?
Yeah, I've had them enabled.
Clear cache for Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Reboot then follow the prompt to update again. Worked for me yesterday.

Huawei Mate 9 MHA-AL00 Google Play download issue

Hi everyone,
I am running the FunkyHuawei Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0 version on my MHA-AL00. At the moment I am unable to download any Google Play apps (just says downloading without any progress), or get any data from from Google apps downloaded, e.g. Google Drive, Pushbullet, etc.
Everything seems to be working fine on my Android tablet with 5.1.1 and my friend's phone with 6.0. Please let me know if you guys are experiencing this. Thanks!
are you on WiFi? I experienced similar issue when I was on B165 fw I couldn't download anything using WiFi but after updating to B167 fw is working without any issues on both WiFi and mobile networks.
Make sure you have all permissions enable for google services, framework and play store, auto lunch and secondary lunch also enable. I noticed this can be an issue for google apps.
I experienced this behavior on Google play store with Chinese version. What I normally do is re-start the phone and the contents will bedownloaded instantly afterwards..

Yeah. I had basically the same issue. For some weird reason I had to leave my office, then everything worked. Wifi or cell network made no difference at the office. Very strange, but I'm just glad I didn't factory refresh my phone before leaving that day!
go to "hiapp" download the app "GMS安装器“, install it and restart your phone then your google play store will be work.
good luck

Facebook app installed with nougat?

Hi All
Last night I updated my s7 edge after checking for updates. I installed the update and when checking out the phone I saw at the back of my app pages that the Facebook app was installed! Has anyone ever come across something like this? I don't use Facebook app and never installed it. I installed an app called ap detective and it shows that the app was installed on 2017-03-09 at 00:09:03 about the same time the update was installed.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
You should be able to disable it in application settings. I did the same with WhatsApp and Instagram.
I guess its included in the rom but as said you can disable it.
If you can uninstall it instead then it would be installed manually (through Google Play / Sideload whatever).
