Rooting & google play store question - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

hey guys,
ok, my 8.9 is rooted but i've not flashed any roms, still using default touchwiz that it shipped with as I just wanted root access for a few apps. I notice that my market app has not updated to google play store yet and I was wondering if this is because I am rooted? any rooted users got the update and using google play now?
Also, if or when we finally get ICS am I correct in thinking that I will have to unroot my tablet if I want to received the official ICS update from Samsung?
Cheers in advance!
Ross

I got the update on my phone but not the tablet, both rooted

Both my Galaxy s and 8.9 are rooted, running ICS ROM's and have the google play 'refresh'

I was on stock (UK) then flashed overcome 2.3.1.
Now back to stock unrooted and still got market icon.
My Xperia Ray updated ages ago.
I also had an issue with the market app "losing" apps that were installed on the device.
All in all not very impressed with Samsung's software.
Once the official ICS is out hopefully someone will de bloatware and mine will be getting flashed again.

i recently updated to 3.2 via OTA and now i cant boot into recovery mode im stuck at the bootloader, once i select stock recovery nothing happens.

thats great, thanks for all replies, looks like I'm not only one having some problems with this. I have seen the google play apk on the net so prob just end up grabbing that and installing manually, see if that works.
Can someone confirm, will I def need to go back to unrooted device in order to receive official ICS OTA from samsung?

I did a google search for the play store apk. Installed, wiped cache & data, restarted and it works fine.

Im rooted on both my phone and my tablet. Both got the update pretty quickly. What you can do to try and force the update is go into settings^applications^all applications and find market. Click uninstall updates. Reboot. Worked on my phone

I don't have the uninstall updates option. Still on 1.0.28

the market that ships with Honeycomb is different from the one in the phone and ICS.
Even the updates for the HC Market arrives via Market app update, instead of OTA.
When google releases the update for the HC Market, then we could have the play store on our stock 8.9.

Didn't work, um, and now I can't upgrade the market back to the more recent version...

[Q] Build.prop for Gingerbread 2.3 ASOP ROM

So I installed the Gingerbread 2.3 ROM on my Droid1. It's my old phone so tinkering with it and ROM'ing it doesn't matter.
I got Gingerbread on it, 2.2.7 Market, Gapps, everything works fine following a factory reset and a cache wipe.
however within the first 30 minutes or so, it seems like Google blocks my account from doing anything, such as installing apps(browsing apps works fine), logging into Google Talk and using Google services. Gmail "push" stops also.. have to force a refresh.
I opened up the build.prop and notice a bunch of 'test-keys' entries.. could they be actively looking for this and blocking it?
Anyone able to open the build.prop on a Nexus S and check things out?
How did you get GB one it do u have a link for download ill flash and see whats going on

[Q] XDA app is incompatible with all of your devices.

I have a stock SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 phone and Samsung GT-P7310 tablet and when i go to the market it states that the xda apps are incompatible with both devices. my tablet its a 3.2 and stock everything- and 2.2 on my phone ( stupid Mini kies update never works ) Of course i can use the site but would like to enjoy the apps. Any suggestions would be great ?

send a mail to the devs. the latest few updates really made the app a lot worse.
kinda strange though because back on stock with my 7310 it worked fine...
the app is deleted from google play.
might be the reason for your problem?

Very bothersome Play Store error

Error retrieving information from server. (RPC: S-5: AEC-0) - This is the error that greets me any time I try to download anything on ANY of my Google accounts on play store. I can temporarily remedy the problem by removing my Google account and then adding it back, but after one or two app purchases, whether it be free or paid, the problem comes back. If it could cause an issue, I do have about 3 apps that I didn't get from Play Store, but rather downloaded the APK through the internet and installed on my phone (these were free). I decided to start doing this instead because this Play Store issue is becoming so tiresome. Any solutions? I am running Jellybean leak 4.1.1 with the OTA.
I had the same problem on my phone while I was on the leak...I couldn't figure out how to fix it...Luckily the official JB came out and I RSD'd back to official ICS so I could get the official JB update OTA. Haven't had the problem since being on the official JB. good luck

I was under the impression you couldn't roll back to ICS even with RSD while you were on the JB OTA? ... I do have a restore file from my 4.0.4, could I try restoring to this or would it bork the phone up hard? If I am stuck with this error until 4.2 comes out or something I can update to at least, I will be pretty upset but at least I will have my answer!

You could roll back on the very first JB leak, as long as you didn't take the OTA for it.
Since then, no rollback using anything

Edit - Nevermind, I fixed it.

Issues with Google apps and Gmail

Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine then, including being able to update apps, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version. Then, for some or other reason, I was back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles with the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left. Today I flashed it with the newest CM10.1 Nightly build....still no joy. Have tried fixing permisions as well, still nothing. I have also noticed when I try and download attachments from emails, it also just times out.

The question is more appropriate in P7500 forum than in P1000 forum.

Hi, sorry, what's "IN" ? Is that a rom
Same issue for me, I had GTA3 on my device from the ICS days, updated to JB and still had no issues with it. Phone died and I got sent a replacement with JB pre-installed. I went to the play store to download GTA3 and nope, incompatible version. Countless communications back and forth with Rockstar support and they didn't have a clue what I was on about. Still no solution. It ran fine on the JB firmware as it did with ICS, Rockstar just refuse to acknowledge and update their play store entry.
