[Q] Google Apps - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm new to the whole android scene so bear with me.
About 2 days ago i installed CM7 on my SGS and all went fine except Google apps.
I Flashed Google apps and got mail and android market but i didn't get Maps or Youtube app.
Any suggestion as to why this happened?
Thanks
Bobby

If you have the market working then YouTube and maps can be found there. I'm not too familiar with cm7 but they should still be available from the market.
Good luck.

Facebook app

Anyone else have this issue? Starting this afternoon my Facebook app launches the browser version of Facebook. It starts the app and acts like its going to load feeds and then opens the browser.

Opened Facebook app and noticed it's redirecting to m.facebook.com. Maybe something's wrong with the interface servicing the app....

There's a Themes & Apps subforum for these kids of issues. Please use it.
Yep, same issue for me, starting today. If you read the market reviews, there's dozens of similar complaints, all dated today.

Ditto for me. Uninstalled and re-installed fixed it. Hope it stays that way.
I have that same problem. I am running on a stock rom 2.2 from kies update. I am rooted but have not flashed a custom rom yet. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a total of 3 times and still have the problem and yes I did do a reboot after I uninstalled before I reinstalled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I think we just need to wait for them to fix the app, sadly. It doesn't seem to be any issue with the phones or corrupted data - it's something in the app itself. With all the people complaining on the market, I'm betting they'll post an update shortly.
I was checking something with this app before I put my phone down for the evening. When I woke up my battery was dead. Check out the pictures, stay awake 7 hours and it was the biggest drain on my battery.
I'll try the uninstall and reinstall to see if it's any different. Cognition 5 beta 2
Use FriendCaster (Pro) and you won't have any more problems.

I cleared the app data, and it works great now.

Ditto here as well. I restored the last backup and it worked fine...

same here, stock 2.2.. clearing the data before reinstalling the app might work.

Facebook seems to be back to normal for me. I didn't do anything it just seemed to fix itself..

Where is the digital compass !

Hey guys. I just got my Galaxy Note one week ago and I am still on my learning path. The specifications mentioned a digital compass, but I can't find it! Is it preinstalled or do I have to download and install. Thx in advance. Btw I am on rooted gingerbread 2.3.6 jpkk2.

Yoy may install an app to use it. There is not app by default.
You can also check out Google Maps, touch the compass icon on the top right screen. Pretty cool feature
Thanks for the advice .. downloaded and installed from Samsung Apps
I am using Compass Apps from android market.

Mostly because the app developers for Facebook have never put out a good update that didn't break things? It's one of the worst development companies on the planet...if their services wasn't used by so many people they would have fallen off the radar a long time ago.
Give it 3 months and maybe it'll be fixed.

Sorry but if you bought a Nexus in a Turkish market you should fear the worst, why would anyone spend good money on a Nexus or anything similar in a market

Stupid question but i beed to know why on the very latest release of the facebook app as to why when I post a status that it doesn't say the location.
I did check location on in the facebook app from the Google store.
I see people post their status and it says town/city when they post. At one time this worked and only once on the latest facebook release. Help! !!

[Q] CM9 and Google Play?

I've just installed CM9 onto my captivate, but I do not have a Google Play app. I've searched this forum, but I'm still unclear about the best way to download apps with google play if its not there?? I feel stupid because this seems like a pretty basic task.
This forum is amazing though. I've learned a lot already. :good:

[Q] cannot get gmail to sync

I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I'm extremely new to all of this! If it's answered somewhere else just point me in that direction
Anyways: I got my kindle fire hd (8.9) two days ago. I tried to use the stock email application to set job my gmail but after entering in my information, it says it does not have permission to sync with the server. My husband and I tinker around with it all day yesterday to no avail.
Also, since I do have Google play on here,I do have the gmail application, but when I try to open it, I just get a pop up that states gmail has stopped working.
I watched a YouTube video where someone was able to set it up (via stock) without issue.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
.........
Note: chrome also does not work, and other launchers (besides go launcher hd for tablets which is what was on there after my husband finished rooting it) will not open/work. I'd love to be able to use Nova....
