[Q] Google Map Download - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been wondering that after using cyanogenmod for some time now I and my wifes N1s could not download or update google map from the market unless we use market enabler..
So what I do is go to freewarelovers.com and dl latest map there, any idea how this can be fixed guys? ta

Probably the downloaded Maps is not compatibile with market (some differente version or sign).
Try to complete uninstall it and re-install from market.

It could be that google ran into licensing restrictions in your country and that is why it was removed from your market. The gmail app cannot be downloaded in Germany without using Market Enabler since google doesn't own the gmail name. All gmail addresses in Germany will show as @googlemail.com.

lost market app

I just rooted my nexus today from the androidandme website. I added CyanogenMod-5.0.5.2, once I rebooted though, I don't have the market app, or any of the google/gmail items, where did I go wrong?

The add on is on the link at his forum
I had the same problem, but only wanted the market app, is there any way to just get that?
Install the google add on
I don't think you can get the android market alone. G-talk is needed to recognize apps in the download list. Think it best to flash the add-on.

[Q] the manual update to Android 2.3.3 broke Google Voice on the Nexus One

After manually updating to Android Gingerbread (2.3.3), I cannot access Google Voice. I can't uninstall it because it's not visible in the list of applications on my device but I can't install it from the market because the market says the application is already installed.
anyone ave the same issue?
Google has a forum
You can Google it and find the answer in different posts from different sites, like engadget, zdnet or other places
Google knows about it and is looking into the issues.

Yeah, I had the same issue. Apparently Google blocked Google Voice for those of us outside of the U.S. The workaround is to sideload an older version of the GV app, like this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rvp60p7bbnk9nc1/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice-1.apk
It worked for me.
Not sure if it will stick through a reboot though. You may have to reinstall it after every boot, although you may not.

Google Maps Disappeared

I just installed Froyo onto my new Nook Color. When I rooted my NC, the Google maps app was installed and detected my location, using the wireless signal I'm assuming. However since installing Froyo this app has disappeared. The maps.google.com website on the dolphin browser works fine (but slow), and cannot detect my location. Visiting Google Maps 5.0 on market.android.com indicates that the app has already been installed and will not download ("the device is not supported").
What should I do to either reinstall the app or make it visible on my app library?
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Unable to download from market with 3G

I have the Droid 3 and recently updated to 5.6.890.XT862 before the push and now unable to download anything from the Android Market only using 3G. I get the orange triangle stating : Download size requires Wi-Fi. Does not matter size of download.
I am able to download via Amazon appstore with 3G. Also once connected to Wi-Fi downloads work fine.
Any suggestions? is this a glitch with the S/W update?
Thanks
Settings > Battery & data manager > Data Saver, turn it off
I love it when its something dumb that I did. Thanks for the help.
I am also on a "pre released" .890 update and now the Market doesn't inform me of app updates.
I was browsing the market last night and noticed at least 5 app updates on my own. Every app was checked for automatic updating, and I checked my Market settings and the "Notifications" check box is absolutely checked! WTF.
That's been happening to me lately. I read about a google maps update and when I went to "My Apps" it didn't have any update available. I had to search for google maps then it had the update tab. It has done this on about 3-4 apps so far that I've noticed.
edit: I just noticed that I can't install any of my paid apps in the market unless I uninstall the market app update and install everything that I want until the market updates itself. I have no custom rom, latest .890, and rooted (no apps deleted/frozen). Any idea's?
edit 2: I turned off my wifi and market is working fine on 3g. I can download paid apps over wifi with older market app but not new market. I can download free apps from the market with wifi on. Weird?

I use a supplemental market called appbrain... A lot of times, I notice when I open that, it finds updates that the gmarket either normally wouldn't have found, or is just slow about doing it's job... :/

Question Google Authenticator not updating?

Does anyone have experience with apps not showing updates in the Play store app for their Pixel 5a 5g?
I saw a recent blog posting about how the Google Authenticator app finally supports a cloud sync option to backup TOTP codes between devices. It talks about updating the app and getting the feature. But when I go to the Play store, it acts like the Authenticator app is already up to date at version 5.20R4 and says "Last updated Jul 11, 2022"...
Now it's Google Authenticator 2. You need to install

Hmm, when I go there in a browser and try to install, it says my device already has this app installed.
Trying to search for it in the Play app also ends up on the same page showing the existing Authenticator app.
Uninstall and only then install GA2.
I tried and it really doesn't offer it. It seems like the play store considers this just one app and for whatever reason keeps offering 5.20R4 as the latest version. I tried it on my wife's Pixel 6a and have the same result! Meanwhile, I installed on a really old Moto G4Play and it got version 6 with the new account sync option.
Also, uninstalling means you lose all the existing TOTP accounts from the older app, so anyone trying this should make sure to use the QR code export/import flow to save them somewhere else first!
Google and most Android Play Store apps does staged rollouts, where it releases the latest version to a couple of people/devices at a time. It takes an while for every device to get the latest version.
If you don't want to wait, you have to download the apk from a trusted source and install it manually
Thanks, it didn't occur to me from reading their blog post that it wasn't already rolled out.
I guess I've never really looked for a particular app update before, so didn't realize it worked that way. I assumed that going to check manually should find the same latest versions for everyone.
