Market shortcut --> Google Play - Motorola Droid 3

I really liked the Market shortcut in the upper right corner, but now, once the Market became Google PLAY, the shortcut is no longer valid, saying "application not installed on your phone".
How can I have the shortcut valid again?

its a problem with blur. motorola is gonna need to do an OTA to fix it.

Might force them to do an ota finally, after all these leaks

Remove Market shortcut and add new shortcut for Play Market. No OTA needed for something this simple.

ist a shotcut on the upper right corner on the motoblur launcher. not a link in the desktop.
i guess you cant remove that shortcut that easy..
you can try a diferent launcher...
where did you updated the market?

Aaargh! My mistake, I did not even consider you were talking about blur. I got out of blur within the first hour after rooting my D3 and never looked back.

Works fine for me. I'm running FRF85B.
Works for me. Are you launching from a shortcut in your launcher? Upon updating to 2.2 system app icons broke for me (calendar, gallery, etc) and I got this same error.... I had to remove the icon and re-add them from the app dock and they work fine now.

No, I launched from Home menu not shortcut.

Nearly the same issue.

Made mistake of updating google maps, now google navigation is gone.

Updated google maps via the market, now google navigation is no longer installed. How can I get this back?
I believe the latest Google Maps (just updated myself as well) have navigation built-in so no need for a separate app.

I got it back. The 'Navigation' shortcut doesn't show in the app drawer until you launch navigation via the blue triangle from within maps. Now the 'navigation' shortcut is back in the app drawer.

Thanks for that! I was having the same trouble and I was able to get the nav working from maps, but I never checked the app drawer again. It's there!

Go to Google Play, check All Apps, there should be Google Maps there, and open it, update.

I did. It does not go through. It gives me an error like this: The signed application is not correct. Also, it just happens to the google map update, not anything else.
Try uninstalling maps then re-installing.

How can you uninstall "maps". I went to setting and apps, and it just says disable. There is not "uninstall".

That means it thinks it is a system app, rather than an installed app. It is installed to /system/apps. I think on Mirage, that mr666 puts them there. Use a root file manager and go into /system/apps, and rename to .bak on the end. Then reboot. It should be gone from your system. You are then free to install from the market if it will allow you to.

Hide Bar App

Hi, has someone try this app to hide the bottom bar?

Whats wrong with TabletBar Hider? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tlalexander.tabletbarhider&feature=search_result
Looks like Honeybar isn't on the market anymore.
I have a link for HoneyBar but I am not sure if it is warez or not. It's from *OK I gues it is warez, cause there are other paid apps' APKs there*
Since the app isn't on the market anymore though I guess I could upload it here, but I need a confirmation from a mod
It's a bit cumbersome to have to rotate the tablet just to get out of it, and I keep getting stuck in an app having to reboot..
A simple corner long press our swipe would remedy this. Dunno why this can't be added.
Use virtual bar to get outa apps instead of reboot. And Honeybar is the one to get, if you can find it..
I think Google has removed Honeybar from the Android Market. I guess removing an essential UI element of Honeycomb is not what Google wants users to do.
Thanks all for your advice... with just a quick google search found honeybar

Market doesn't show "My Apps"

So today the Android Market stop showing the My Apps page for me. Just a grey screen. I have tried everything short of wiping the device. Any ideas?

So I finally tried wiping the device twice and the My Apps page will show until the latest version of Market automatically installs and then grey screen again...

Which ROM do you have?

Same annoying bug. Tried EVERYTHING (including a wipe, clearing market data, force stopping, uninstalling updates, clear data on google framework. Sent a support ticket in to google, no news yet... Looks like it isn't authenticating me.

Mine does if I have more than one update - as the market always has had since Froyo. (Unless one of the updates has changed permissions - those you must approve one by one.)
Stock rom, still nothing from google. Seems like the server flakes out when trying to verify my device. No fancy hacks really. Wish I knew why. Tried everything I can think of so far. Even did a wipe and no go. Irritating to say the least.

Same boat here. Stock rooted, all bloat installed. Only mods are the atrix camera and modified local hosts file. I even reverted the local hosts file but got nowhere. The only other market I have is amazon and it does not matter if it is installed or not. It also does not matter which version of the market I have installed.

Just noticed the same problem here
I tried installing the camera app from the leaked version but it didn't go through, so when I renamed the original stock camera app back I noticed it stopped working.
Currently I have the my apps screen spinning.
I've got an XT860.
Same problem here
Same problem here. Stock, rooted. My Apps has had a blank screen for days. Cleared Market data and cache. No help.
I don't know who to even contact for support. Any thoughts?
Have any of you tried this:
settings->applications->manage applications
Find "Market" and tap it
If there is one, tap the button at the top "Uninstall updates"
Does that fix this problem?

I found that if you take out your SD and clean market/storage service fixes. Bad news is when you put back SD, it breaks again.
I just checked mine, all's good. There's got to be a common factor here... just needs to be found
Just a thought.
Make sure everything in your google account page is set to sync.
Settings->accounts-> you gmail account.
Try the online market. Sign in and see if your apps show up there. If it does, would say it something on phone, if not something with the account.
Hope it helps

[Q] Android Market -> Google Play

Erm... Are we supposed to have Google Play yet? I mean literally everybody I know with an Android device has had their Market auto-updated to Google Play, but not on my tablet... The tablet shows up in the Google Play compatibility list too. Have any of you got the Google Play update? Have I missed something? Or has it just not shown up yet?

Have you tried clearing Market cache and data? If you have the button "Uninstall updates" then click this also. Then open Market, accept the terms and close it again. This should force it to update.

Updating the Android Market Icon to Google Play
20 Mar, 2012
PLEASE NOTE: This News & Alert is specific to our mobile and tablet products with the ANDROID operating system. So the following may not be specific to your product (e.g. Series 7 SLATE PC - XE700T1A operating system is Windows 7).
Instructions for upgrading to the Google Play application (apps, games, movies and books).
1. Select (tap) the 'Android Market' icon.
2. Read the pop-up 'Terms & Conditions' menu notifying the end-user of the upgrade to 'Google Play', and select 'Accept'.
3. At this point the icon should update and say 'Play'.
4. When the 'Google Play' menu appears, select (tap) 'Continue'.
5. There will be a name change at the top of the screen, when inside the market app, but the layout will essentially be the same.
Note
Due to a small data download requirement, this change may take some time depending on the end-user's data connection.
For the fastest update we recommend using HSPA+ or WI-FI.
6. Move back to the home (main or idle) screen, and select (tap) 'Applications'.
Note
a). If the handset is rebooted then the 'Android Market' app icon will have been removed.
After this select (tap) 'Applications'.
Then replace the Android market shortcut with the 'Play Store' icon.
(This can be done by dragging the icon to the home or main screen from the applications menu).
b). If the handset device is not rebooted after updating the play application then the icon will need to be removed manually from the home screen and replaced with the new Play shop icon.
Navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Please note
On the Galaxy Nexus devices the homescreen shortcut will automatically be removed.
Therefore the end-user will need to navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Important
If after the above procedure is performed, the 'Market' icon is not replaced after some time with the 'Play Shop' icon, then the end-user will need to perform all of the following steps as outlined below.
Move to 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and check that either of the icons appear in the list as shown. Then:
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear data'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear cache'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Select (tap) 'Uninstall updates'.

My tab just updated yesterday to Play as well.
Do things look squeezed in to anyone else? The app tiles in the main part, and my installed apps and information columns don't take up the whole screen. The toolbar at the top and the green stripe do though, so it doesn't seem to be a malfunction.
The tight quarters make things feel squished. Plus, I find it much slower than the Market already.

I was forced to take the upgrade today. Now I can't scroll thru installed apps. I have to update them one at a time even if I don't want them. Am using a rooted i957. Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded "cache clear" and ran it but still no scrolling. I really don't want to keep updating the bloatware but it looks like I'm being forced to. I know people are working on a rom for the i957. Hope they come up with something.
the playstore looks really nice. But i think the old market was a bit quicker.. or not?
