Google Maps 3.3.0 On the market

Welp I just installed 3.3.0 on my G1 and now I'm getting Force Closures.
Compass arrow
Scale bar
Terrain Layer
More…
When I opened up the new Google Maps for the first time it asked “What’s new in Maps?” and it answered:
Report a problem with the map or a business listing
See businesses at an address or near a point on the map
Try out experimental features with labs
Uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine.

Thanks for the uninstall/reinstall tip. that solved my problem. running CM-4.2.7.1

No force closes here...
The new features are cool, but nothing nearly as awesome an addition as Navigation was. Either way though, love to see that they're improving it all the time. Android's Google Maps is WAYY better than iPhone's if you ask me.

I like the fact that you can report problems right from the phone too.

I am personally getting a "package not signed" error on Enmther's TheOfficial. I uninstalled it but I still cant get it to install/

love it!! no force close after reinstall

does it have street view

Yeah it still has street view. You just long press anywhere on the screen and it brings up the next menu. As long as street view is in your area you will get the use of it. Like my area shown up above in the screen shots I do not have street view in my area so I can't really use it much.

can any one upload an apk of the new google maps, having a hard time installing it via market.

thanks, but it says that the file is unavailable.

Running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and had the hacked version of 3.2.1 Maps (via XDA, before it was available on the market). Upgraded to 3.3 via market and it works fine, no FCs.

getting the same. running cyanogen 4.2.7.1 installed 3.2.1 from market fine last time. no option to uninstall from manage apps - how are you guys uninstalling?

a full uninstall (e.g. i did it with Super User File Management System (SUFMS) and then reinstall via market fixes the Maps 3.30 force close issue

Having the same problem here with the unsigned package error message - tried uninstalling, manually deleting the Maps.apk file but no luck...
Does anyone have a working APK that we can just push to our app folder and get it over with?
I'm running a modified CM 4.2.7.1 (on which people are complaining about he same issue). I don't get Google with their crap they have to do to block certain features and render the whole thing useless for all users with custom roms until someone has to spend the time and figure it all out for the rest of us...

When you are on the market there should be an option to upgrade. I simply upgraded and then when I had an error I went back to the market and searched for "Google Maps" and when it came up I used the uninstall button, followed up with searching and installing.

I just tried to download it again. Its there you just have to wait for their annoying time out thing. I'd host it on my site, but honestly I'd rather not hammer the piss out of it when megaupload works just fine.
Anybody that wants to use it just rename it to Maps.apk
Its renamed funky because of an app I have installed that renames files when I tell it to back up.

Signing issues here is another thread that addresses it.

the link is working now

I updated my site with version 3.3.0 if anyone wants the apk...

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S just came out in Mexico

Greetings.
As of November 3rd, Samsung Mexico released to the market the Samsung Galaxy S.
Telcel (Mexican Carrier) will be handling the phone.
According to the Datasheet from Samsung Mexico webpage
''Sorry for the link, but the anti spam does not let me post it"
They call it a Samsung GT-i9000.
The only difference I can see from the International Version is the 3G band.
Instead of 900/1900/2100 mhz it has 850/1900/2100 mhz.
It has the same build and Front Camera as the International Version.
Can it be considered a custom GT-i9000 or Did they manage to change the band with a specific ROM?
Anyway, Any thoughts?
Thank you

Well, I'm from Mexico, this should be good news for people in here, I bought 2 months ago the Galaxy S international version from handtec.co.uk
I can't use 3G but that's no problem for me since I don't use it nor plan to use.
My guess is that it needs a different kind of antenna for changing the 3G signal.
I still cannot find it on telcel webpage, and samsung mexico doesn't list any place to buy yet. Maybe telcel is customizing the ROM before selling it, I just hope they don't make a crappy saturated ROM. Hopefully they'll use froyo

Does it look like the Bell Vibrant?

Indeed, it looks exactly like the Bell Vibrant.
Only difference is that it only has 8gb of internal memory.
Doing some research, I guess the correct model will be Samsung Galaxy S/GT-I9000T.
thank you.

Interesting, since it has only 8gb, I wonder if it dodges the internal SD issues apparent in the 16gb version.

i'm pretty sure it's safe to assume so
as the problem has always only with the 16GB models, even for international ones

that is exactly the same as the galaxy they sell here in puerto rico by claropr wich by the way is owned by the same people as telcel(america movil) its a i9000t.

JUST GOT I9000T FROM TELCEL. NO GMAIL or GTALK or GOOGLE SEARCH WIDGET
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S from TELCEL in Mexico, but it seems as if they completly removed GMAIL, GTALK and searching widget by Google and placed instead a YAHOO widget.
I bought this celphone because I have all my acounts (Personal and Company) hosted with google and wanted to use them with google apps.
I was able to root it but have not been able to install diferent roms, and when I installed diferent apk for gmail, gtalk etc, it closes the apps because of errors.
Does anyone know what I could do to get these apps working or wich ROM should I use?
The celphone info is this:
PDA: I9000TUMJG1 [R5]
PHONE: I9000TUMJG1
CSC: I9000TTCEJG1

Hi
I bought the phone yesterday in Mexico city
I haven't rooted my phone, I downloaded a rom for an european version of the phone (CODE_I9000XXJE6_REV03). I unpacked the file and I mounted the file factory.rfs in linux. I took the files: GMailProvider.apk and GMail.apk.
I had the trouble that you said, i think it was because I hadn't installed GMailProvider.apk. Now GMail is working without issues on my unrooted galaxy phone. I had also tried with files from other roms and that didn't work, so I think you need the files of a samsung rom with android 2.1.
I think Google Search is included in the rom. Installing LauncherPro was the first thing that i did after I turned on the phone. I could add the google search widget in LauncherPro. I cannot use the widgets of Samsung with launcher pro but for me it doesn't matter.
Regards

Can I ask where you downloaded the rom from? Or if possible, can you attach the gmailprovider and gmail apk's here? I also got the Mexican i9000T and it pisses me off that these idiots took out the gmail app.
Thanks

How much was the phone without a contract?

I got it on contract, 2-year, and payed about $300. Without contract it is about $730.

Ok so I took the Gmailprovider and gmail apk's from a firmware I downloaded from samfirmwares.com.
But when I launch the gmail app it just goes into a blank screen (or dark one) and it does nothing. And since I launched it, the sync icon in the status bar (top) appeared and hasn't gone away. Did I FUBAR something???

Hi
I found the roms here:
samsungflash.webs.com/apps/wiki/i9000
Regards

Hi
Sometimes you get an error if you use an account of gmail and another one of Google Apps, but otherwise the GMail App works very well
Regards

The first time that I started the application I saw the blank screen that you said, but I turned off the cellphone and then turned on and It worked
Regards

Well, after a reboot, i no longer got the blank screen. But then I started getting force closed of some process named com.somethingsomething.gapps. I instaled using an app installer which placed the gmail and provider apps on the external sdcard. Maybe they should be on the internal sd? What do you think?

I had the same trouble using two gmail accounts on the phone, one of them was a Google Apps account, currently I'm only using one account (the regular gmail account) and all works well.
Anyway I think, you should try install the apps on the internal memory of the phone.
Regards

a gazillion years later, I installed gmail onto /sys/apps folder and after a reboot, it works like a charm. But now I sort of got used to K-9 Mail hehehe

I just got the same phone about 2 weeks ago.
I liked it but it is a shame that Telcel installs all that crap on it.
I'm not that familiar with Linux. Is there any way the files can be unpacked from within Windows?
I would love to use Gmail and Gtalk on my phone.

[Q] Has anyone gotten the Sports Illustrated app (tablet edition) ?

I am trying to install it via the Market online and the G-tablet is not listed as being compatible with it.

Dled it last night love it runs like a charm on vegan rom

I don't see the tablet edition available...All i get is the phone version in market...

I have searched google for an apk file and no one has one. The tablet version isnt in the android market even after being fixed and the online android market doesnt support vegan so i conclude we cant get it yet

I just grabbed it from the market, and it worked fine. I did get a message that it was for the galaxy tab.
I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
Carl

My market will only see the phone edition of the app.
Can anyone pull the tablet edition apk and post it for download?

Same here.
APK would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to seeing some tablet optimized apps on the gTab

I just found it in the market. I am using vegan-tab. In settings, applications...clear cache AND data for Market, then force stop. Then clear data and force stop Google Services Framework. Reboot, accept terms of services in market, and you should find it. I just did this and it worked. The key is to also clear Market data. Hope this helps!

I found it but it says my device is not compatible. I did however able if I want to download the phone version.

Does it display in landscape? Is it free or just one free issue?

It displays in portrait only, but I think the layout is great. The app is free but the subscription is not. I get the issues in the app for free because I have a print subscription, but I believe you can also pay for a digital only subscription (don't know how much that costs).

Same issues here - can't find it in the market and can't find an apk on the web. If anyone could post the apk it would be much appreciated. I have a print subscription that gets recycled every week - the landfills are crying!

Don't really feel like uploading it anywhere, but feel free to pm me your email if anyone wants it. Backed it up with astro.

+1 for not linking the apk. Last thing anyone needs (XDA included) is the ire of sports illustrated. If you take your time you can find it on teh intertubes.

-5 for Mantara for not nowing anyone can have the apk since you have to have a subscription to gain access to the content anyway!

[Q] Google+ is in the market... but there is no download button???

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!
-Austin

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

[APP] Google Play 3.10.10

For those who can't wait for Google to roll it out automatically, here's the new Play Store. The site where I got this says the changes are simply bug fixes but I did notice it looks a little different, like the font seems to match the new 4.2 roboto font. Try it out and correct me if I'm wrong.
How to install:
Using root explorer, copy the file to /system/app after deleting the original Play Store app. Fix permissions then reboot. After rebooting, you might also want to clear the Play Store app data before using it for the first time. Initial impression is that it seems to be faster and more buttery than the previous versions. Download link below:
Phonesky.apk

Thanks! This new version definitely seems faster.

i get the update last night

Yeah me too.

Yep same here. Looks like they're rolling it out anyway.
Posted using xda mobile app

Thanks for sharing it here. It has now rolled out worldwide so everyone can update easily.
Apart from this, here is what comes new in Play Store 3.10.9.

The new fact is that i CAN download some app with the good old market, when I uninstall all the updates.
But now, I've lost the list of my apps..., well, at least until I update them or something...
Ho.. And I sent a message to google, their solution was "RESET your phone".. not a such engineering .

Any update?
@gregaste : Any update on your problem?
Been having the same issue. Jumped through all the hoops but to no avail. The guys at Google are not being helpful at all.
Weird bit is, apps do update over the carrier network if I trigger the update from the web instead of the Play store app.
