yes you can download the update manually ...

go to settings > apps and clear data for google services framework as well as force quit. Then try to update. That should work

Hah. Didn't even think of something that silly. A new 16GB Nexus 4, out of the box, needed that trick to see the new update. Come on, Google
Thanks for this tip!

That's because Google made it obsolete. That method is long gone.

Play store problem.

Whenever I open the Play Store it automatically shows me the apps, nothing more. I can't see anything more on the play store except apps. I'm wondering if this is normal or not, and if its not, how can I fix it? This is the only thing I can see.

Have you tried clearing the data as well? It may be to do with you being in Puerto Rico, they may not have pushed the update there yet.

I did, I don't think it has anything to do with my location everyone else already has the Play store updated.

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.

How to get new Facebook App UI

How to get the new FB UI
first opt out of beta programme..(if you arent a tester ignore this step)
link for beta is here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/facebook-for-android-beta-testers
then join alpha..
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/facebook-for-android-alpha-testers
after joining..uninstall Facebook app..reboot phone...
now search for facebook app in play store and boom...you will have the latest there
If you still have old ui clear the app from recent apps and start it

did not work for me.
edit: it does indeed work

I've been in both groups for like 2 months. Still no updated UI. Search a bit, the new UI is rolled out server side, from Facebook. There's no way to actually "get" it. You get it when they roll out the update to you...

Worked perfect for me!

I have been an alpha tester for a while now. Just followed instructions again. Left beta. Joined alpha. Uninstall app. Reboot. Install. Still old UI...
Hmm any ideas??

What version are you on. I was on updated to 9.0.0.18. If I closed the app from recent apps and tried to reopen it it would crash. I would have to clear data to get it to work again. All on stock non rooted nexus.

that could explain something... I'm on version 8.0.0.15.24... maybe it's a region thing?

Op @abhi98228 please add this info to the first post :
Try wiping the apps data then re-sign into the app only on the latest alpha version.
Also not everyone will see the new interface due to it being server sided.

Thanks rejoined the alpha group got version .19 and closed the apps and swiped away from recent apps and loaded it back up. Works like its suppose to. Next question how do I get my news feed to be "most recent" instead of "top stories"? I can view most recent by going to the settings Tab then selecting it, but that seems to be a step backwards if you ask me. What happened to the news feed settings?

Yes it does not depend on what app version you have nor what alpha or beta group you are in its just their server that depends on who gets it, my wife is on just the standard play store version and has had then new ui for a month now.

[REQUEST] Tapatalk version before the major change

As many of you probably know, the new version of Tapatalk is a hot mess. I wish I've read the comments before upgrading.
Anyone happen to have the apk of the version prior to the major change in the UI and functionality?

I'll dig around in all my backups.
There are so many issues with the update:
1. The app is now ad-supported, but it's free! I paid for the app so I wouldn't see ads.
2. Forum navigation is cumbersome. Why would you force users to tap the most difficult spot to navigate?
3. Everything I load XDA, the "failed to connect to forum" toast pops up. I believe that renders the mark forum as read button useless.
4. 2 start new topic buttons while the mark as read button is hidden in a menu.
5. Color scheme.
6. There's no way to sort your subscribed subforums.
7. What's with the collage at the top once you connect to a forum? All that does is force users to scroll just to see what they want.
8. I could go on by I've got better things to do.

Yeah, it's a complete disaster. Check the attachment, that's version 4.9.5, right before the major UI redesign.
Anyway it just got updated to version 4.10.1.

^ Thanks!
I also paid for the Pro version. The strange thing is that out of the blue (about 2 weeks ago), the Pro version won't allow attachment uploads. It displayed a message to download the version from the Play Store and logging in with a Tapatalk ID to have that functionality and also (coincidentally?) the app force closes every time it's opened shortly after.
That pretty much made me install the version from the Play Store. I smell something is going on to force the current users to download the current ad version. I don't think it is fair for the ones that paid to get rid of the ads.

AFAIK there's no pro version anymore. The one attached is the free version, the one and only version of Tapatalk that's in the play store.

I know, haven't updated the app in over a year. It worked fine which is why I never upgraded.

I downloaded the apk but it won't let me install. When I tap on "Install" nothing happens, I could only tap on "Cancel"

I believe I saw it in a drop-down menu somewhere. But I'd gone back to Tapatalk Pro temporarily so I don't have it handy to check.

I've also gone back to the Pro version. It is so much better without all the unnecessary bloat.
