Google Maps 4.0.0 + Google buzz?

I just saw a youtube clip about someone who installed this on his droid;
Anybody tried it on the N1?
Where did you get it from?

Should be an update to your Maps app available in the Market, it didn't install for me, said package wasn't signed correctly, I was using a rom with known issues with Google Services though so I'm reflashing right now to try again. You can go to buzz.google.com in your browser to use their web app. Has a pretty clean interface.

installed and works fine on a non rooted nexus.

Got it workin on mine now too, pretty sweet.

I just installed it on my rooted nexus one here in canada and found several other people testing it out. Seems to work fine just not sure how often I will bother to load it up.

Installed on Cyanogen Beta 4 with my theme, and works perfect. Installed from market

Downloading... Installing.... WORKS.

Buzz works great through Maps, but has anyone got it working properly from the Browser via buzz.google.com? When I try to post a buzz through maps, it goes right through. But through browser, I just get the little grey "processing" spiral.

This Maps 4.0 have Navigation out of USA? Thanks

Weird... I can't find google maps on the market at all - no update or anything...
Do they roll it out gradually to people?
Or maybe it's because I installed the 2.1-patch1 myself? (didn't wait for the official notification)
My phone is stock non rooted and not unlocked.

testing.... no

Got the update last night in the android market, this is pretty cool.

Google maps is not in the market of free applications. Although free, you need to have access to the paid apps market.

How I can put Maps 4 in rooted Nexus?
Maps 4 have Navigator out of USA? I am Spanish
Sorry for my poor englishç
Thanks

I want it too, please, I want maps 4.0 with navigator in Spain, I have it rooted.
Please, could you help us?
thanks.

should be in the market. look for google maps and see which version you have installed. should be 4.0 .. if so do menu layers and buzz .. and thats it... start buzzing if you wish.

I've just restored apps after a wipe and my Google Maps is showing as 3.4. I go to market and it's not offering me an update. What can I do?

[Request] Possible to modify vending.apk for Wifi Xoom?

The Xoom is released in Canada now. But the market is so bad compared to living in the USA.
For one, we don't see a 'Tablet App' section, so it simpossible to weed out tablet specific apps, this leaves me with so many FC's on apps. Real stupid by google..
Another ofcourse is we don't see apps such as Google books, Pandora etc.. this was fixable using rac's Market Enabler, but since the wifi xoom has no GSM it won't do anything..
So does anyone have any idea, perhaps modify the vending apk to seem it is located in USA
Thanks alot

Have you tried going to the marketplace from withing your browser? It is a bit more functional. It even shows which apps you have already installed without having to go into the my apps section.

no difference unfortunately

The Featured tablet apps shows only some tablet apps (in US), not all tablet apps, so even this isn't a solution for your problem. Give it some time, i'm convinced that developrs will update their apps to support Honeycomb.
About the apps that are made for US customers, it should be possible to access US Android Market on wifi only Xoom by using US VPN and disabling other location services in setting, but I haven't tried it.

Have you tried copying the build.prop from a US Xoom? Just an idea.

i would go with build.prop before enabler. my wifi xoom does the market without issue and I didn't touch carrier status at all.

Market.enabler.wont work
Wifi xoom has no GSM
And I do have the USA xoom imported it

I have a US imported xoom too. I connected to a VPN in US, cleared Market data from Setting/Applications and the market showed the Tablet Apps section. But... I tried buying apps and I got a message that it's not allowed (or something) by my carrier!!!

This is a stretch but perhaps its tied to your actual google account. An easy enough test would be for a US xoom owner to fudge a non-us address on their google account or a non US one fudge a US address. I believe this is how Amazon is filtering purchases in their new store.

You're right it must be tied to the google checkout account. Does anybody know if it's possible to buy using Gift Cards?

I've had customers purchase AR.Pro with a gift card, certainly.

I can now see Books
But Not featured tablet apps.

Ya thats one thing
but the features tablet apps is another, i dotn get why canadians cant see this wtf.
why cant we see apps that are meant for a TABLET in Canada
Ive thought long and hard about any sense in this, maybe laws etc.. but nothing made sense
this is plain STUPID

Featured tablet apps are not showed in Europe also, not even on a US Xoom.

Yup.same here but in Canada
Anyone know how to contact Google or petition

Hi,
I think my situation can show a little light on the subject.
I live in TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus). And when I go to my office near the border, the market instantly changes to Euro, enabling me to buy the apps (not all of them shows on the market); and when I go to my home away from the border, the market changes to TL and I cannot buy anymore (Turkey and Google has a little catfight about tax so purchases are disabled)
What I am thinking is maybe the device staples your location by wifi (approx) and then it uses the location (not the provider details) to detemine in which country you are?
I don't know if this might help anyone but, wanted to share; hoping someone solves thes pain in the a.s problem. I am longing for books, youtube, earth and tegra games...

People you do not need anything. No root, no prop files...
I just solved the problem yesterday...
---> Go to Google Maps
---> Settings Tab
---> Latitude
---> Settings Tab
---> Settings
---> Select "Set Your Location/Manually Select a location on the map"
---> "Point on map"
---> Go to anywhere in america tab and hold a point
---> Tap to select this point
Taddaaa, everthing is now open... Books, Earth paid apps everything... As long as you keep your latitude there ( only latitude app cannot be used, It will show you in us(mine is currently in nebraska) ) you can buy and use any app.
After that, just change it back to "Select your location..." (Be aware that when you select back to this option you may lose books and youtube)

Leaked RUU with New Radio App Issues

For some reason, I can not find certain apps in the Market like the Astro Key I purchased (mind you Astro app is installed), FiOS Mobile Remote, etc. Any suggestions?

Its because those apps are copy protected, and since the leaked RUU has a build unrecognized by google at this point, those protected apps are not going to show. So unless thats the offical OTA build, those apps will never show because google has to change the market to show copy protected apps for every official build of every phone. So if that software is final, they will eventually show up, if its not, they never will, unless you root your phone and change the build string

Wow interesting I have the leaked ruu and can still see these apps in the market. Op just send an email over to Google and they will help you out don't listen to this guy. For about 6 hours yesterday I couldn't download anything (got a download unsuccessful error) emailed the market team and got a response back helping me out.

I see all the purchased apps as well including the astro pro key and it shows installed..

It's the strangest thing really. Everything else I can download except for those two apps. I will contact Google for help. Thank you everyone.
P.S. I never had this issue when I installed a leaked RUU on my Incredible except from going to Froyo from Eclair.

Agreed. Astro Key is definitely there and I running the leaked RUU.

+1 - Astro Key and FIOS Mobile Remote with leaked radio...

I'll tell you I'm fed up with EA mobile... I purchased two of their apps when I was on T-mobile... And if I'm using any device that's not on Verizon (ie T-mobile, at&t, or Sprint) the apps will show. But on any device on the Verizon network (I've tried the dinc and the TB) it wants you to buy them again. Sadly enough this is a known issue with EA mobile and they actually charge more for the same app on Verizon vs other providers. I wish there was a way to fix the issue myself as their support team has been playing dumb regarding this...

Check out the app called Market Enabler on the market. you can fake your carrier to T-Mobile for the android market.

[Q] Anyone else unable to purchase apps?

I'll copy/paste from my issue on Google's tracker:
I have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer (TF101) with the latest update: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
When visiting the Market, I am only presented with Free apps in the Featured section of each category.
I can search for, and find, paid apps. However I cannot purchase them. It returns the following error: The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found.
I am able to purchase some of the apps with my Phone. I can either go to the web based market and purchase them for my T-Mobile HTC Vision, or I can do it on the phone itself. Then I can install those apps in my Asus Transformer.
However, I can't do this workaround with Honeycomb-only applications because I cannot buy them on the phone first.
I'm located in Puerto Rico. I talked to the guy that makes Reddita, and he said that his apps is setup to be available everywhere

Anyone else have a similar issue? If so, please star my issue on Google's tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16845&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
Screenshots:

I'm still not sure if it's a location based problem or if it's related to something else. Like I said above, the guy from Reddita says that his app is configured to not discriminate by country. Also, he says that he has sold the app to other Transformer users before.

i was able to purchase apps the last time I checked which was after the 8.2.3.9 update

I would hope not. Unfortunately, so far my theory points towards a location restriction specific to Honeycomb devices.

No problems on my Transformer but a while back I had problems buying from my Adam. I went into my Google checkout account settings and just reentered the same credit card info and saved it. I was able to buy apps after that.

Thanks for the tip. Tried that (and adding a completely different CC) and it didn't work.
I can however buy apps for my other two devices (G2 and Nexus S).

I bought my Asus Transformer TF101 from Hong Kong, now live in Malaysia, both Malaysia and Hong Kong are in the list that can buy apps, but appear that i'm same with you.
Just can view apps, appear "The item that you request are not found" bla bla...
Free apps can be use. no problem, btw, i have a Motorola Xoom with me too, same issues. Sad.... duh....
somehow my android phone can purchase apps, i turn to my web page android market, and i noticed that, due to i have 5 device registered to my google account, i can buy apps for my phones, but not for my device that dont have "CARRIER" bound with it. This makes our wifi only device cant purchase apps.
i have mailed google about this issues, but nothing yet, dissapointed, hopes anyone get some solutions. thanks.

Market Enabler, available on the Android Market. Buy the paid version for better features.

I had the problem that I couldn't purchase apps that were offered in a different currency than US$ with my AmEx. I had to use a different credit card (VISA) and then it worked.

I have the same problem, it started yesterday. I'm from Puerto Rico.
Suddenly, the quantity of available apps is much less... I can't find Adobe apps, Angry Birds games, Taptu, none of the Google apps!!
When I go to "My Apps" it only shows those installed apps that are still available to search on the market, but the others are not (even if they are currently installed, were installed before)
If I enable the Hotspot on the HTC EVO and connect the TF to it via WiFi, after re-opening the market, it can see all apps as before, including those in "My Apps" section. This happens because the IP provided by Sprint is USA based. Also, if the TF gets connected to the local router, then the market apps availability gets downgraded again...
So, this appear to be a location based issue... but, how it's possible that all those high profile apps that were available just days ago now are not? I did a factory reset today for troubleshooting... and now can't install Adobe Flash and those apps mentioned above

Ya, market enabler, but, i have to get rooted, superuser, busybox in order to use that, right?
I would love just to only get rooted and continuing receive Asus OTA updates, can i?
I check and i found the is no way, please help.

Hi (Cant purchase apps in market)
Helo I am also from Puerto Rico Im currently using Samsung Galaxy i9000 (International version) Im currently facing with this error since some time now. I been looking on net since long ago day and night and nothing just crap and no answer from google. I tried froyo gingerbread and iCS version from Teamhacksung and nothing. I tried market enabler (both versions in market) i can see paid apps just well I can download the free apps just fine but in paid apps *the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found* Im getting piss off already before was working just fine.
Looking extensively on net i found this video http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=13888035 ---->error sorry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDZtQWt_8TQ
Sorry is not in English but the guy is using something called Gae proxy that seems an alternative that let you buy the apps. Anyway, for me this no worked I tried several times and still it no let me buy the app or just the market no open. I tried via wifi/data plan (3g) and nothing. I did test with pal he has hero and career from usa and he can buy just fine. I tried with my boss who has Captive and Xoom both failed in market with the same error.
This is very disappointed situation that is taking too much already. I have several friends and ppl I know dropping android just because of that. If i keep having it I will do the same or keep forced to get pirated apps wich i no want.
Still waiting for any fix or google response.....
English not my primary language.

Market Enabler won't work on WiFi tablets

I can assure you that even if you're rooted and running non-stock ROM, Market Enabler will not help if you're on a wifi-only tablet. I've been trying to find a solution to this problem since the day I got my WiFi-only Transformer but to no avail. Without any development or hacking knowledge whatsoever, there's only so much that I can try.
What I've found out though is this. The wifi-only version appears to track your location differently than the 3G version such that Market Enabler won't work. I have tried VPN (either direct on device or sharing a VPN connection over WIFI, if that makes a difference at all...), I've tried some location spoofing apps. Force stopped the market app and cleared data and cache and trying the VPN and location spoofing again in various combos, unsuccessfully. Also tried turning off all location services. Tried Market Enabler of course and I have the paid version of that too.
What works though is if I'm in another country, and it's a market-supported country, I'd be able to purchase apps without doing anything extra. I can also buy apps through my phone which has Market Enabler working as intended and once purchased I can install the bought apps through the My Apps screen on my Transformer. This is my current workaround, but I'm still very much stuck when I need to buy tablet-only apps which I can't purchase from my phone. Similarly, I can buy apps from the android market website, but only those I can install to the phone and I won't be able to install direct to tablet unless it's a free app.
Note: I live in a non-market-supported country. I've had this problem since Honeycomb, and now I'm on ICS and also using the rebranded Google Play. This problem seems to apply to all WiFi-only tablets, not just the Asus Transformer.
The only reason why there doesn't seem to be much of an outcry on this is because people chiming in that they can buy apps when they live in a market-supported country, so people think the problem is solved.

[APP][2.2+] Market Unlocker 3.0.8 - support Android market 3.4 and Amazon appstore

Hi all, i'd like to introduce my free app Market Unlocker to you.
It's similar to MarketEnabler which let you access paid apps in Android Market, but add funny functions as
1. Support Android Market 3.4
2. Support download & buy paid app in Amazon Appstore outside USA.
As you might have known, android market and amazone appstore will stop you from downloading and tell you that it's not supported in your region. Why? Because the server's checking your ip address countries as well as your provider. For amazon users registered with us credit card and billing address, it's frustrated when you're not in usa.
Market Unlocker will force visiting Market and Appstore via a proxy, that makes traffic looks like from USA. Unlimited access any more.
Find out more details in Android Market by search "Market Unlocker". I also attached an apk, but check out from android market is still recommended.
Believe it will help you.

Looks promising. It is a [ROOT required + Acquire IMEI] app.
But I cannot find a working US proxy yet to test its function (download apps from Amazon). What a pity.

getting a working USA proxy is hard

Pick up where to get working proxy in Q&A of Android market app descriptions. Google also...

Works great on my SGS2.
However, I tried it on the alpha ICS roms. (from samsung). It could not get su access and force closed. Might be about my setup though.

Does not work on CM9 alphas too.
Is it an ICS problem?

Hmm tried on nook color with cm9 preview and the market change works, yet the proxy setting says "invalid ip address or port number"

Thanks, i will try

Hi, thanks for your work.
Currently I try to download the GMail App, because the App isn't in the german Market.
I was able to fake the provider to Verizon USA and configured a proxy I found in the web. But the GMail App isn't available yet.
What went wrong?
The proxy??

could not make it work.

I bought the Pro version, got a proxy configured automatically and managed managed to buy and install fifa12 from the US market using these steps:
1. Turn on flight mode
2. Enable Market Unlocker and auto unlock
3. Got to system Setting => Applications => Manage applications => All => Market, and click “Clear data”
4. Reboot phone
5. Turn on Wifi/3G
6. Wait google service sync-up completed or refresh in Gmail.
7. Open Market Unlocker, enable proxy
8. Open Google Play. Buy your apps.
Turn off flight mode.

Click to collapse
My question is this, if the device is rebooted with proxy off or flight mode is enabled and disabled, do we still need to do the above steps to be able to buy apps from the US market?

works good on my sgs

is it just me or does this app no longer work ?
for example enable it then use with or without proxy and i still can't download or use google wallet, whereas before i could.
Something has changed...
