hey guys, as title says, wont update. i got my sensation from expansys-usa but not sure it is a us model as i had to install morelocale2 app for us english. i live in the Bahamas and as you know the phone comes with google maps installed but if i go to the market it says this item cannot be installed in your device's country. but i can use the app thats there and it works fine. what is the issue ?
Same problem here in Kenya - if you get an old Android with an ancient version of Maps you can't upgrade because of device country! At least the version on the Sensation is not too old!
Only way out is when we finally get root then we can use Market Enabler or Market Access to spoof another country and download. That's what I used to do with my Nexus One.
With root you can even use - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 that modified maps.apk and get navigation also!
thanks for the reply. HTC please hurry up and gice us what you promised. I NEED ROOT!!!!
Just noted my first Maps update via appbrain and of course I can not find it in the market due to regional restrictions. What a joke. Gimme root + Market Access / Enabler please sooooooon HTC or devs

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

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?
As the title says, here's the original link to the Google post:

can someone upload .apk?
edit: here it is
Anyone else noticed Latitude check-ins failing, inability to edit/display/manage check-in locations? Nexus S, 2.3.3.

It is working OK with SE X10. However, neither check-in nor buzz is available in China. We have to wait for the unlocked version
Is this brut mode?
i've got blank (white) screens on checkins etc.
It's very annoying that you have to create your cache all over again every update.
Thx. for posting the apks, Google has something against letting update the Xperia Arc with them via the Market.

They also have something against HTC Desire and Cosmote Romania. I have Google Maps 5.1 installed from a third party source and it works just fine! When I go to the Market on the PC, it says This item is not available for your carrier. On the phone, it isn't displayed at all and I don't want to use Market Access. Eventually, I have installed GM 5.3 from enuazeal. Thanks.

In Estonia we have the same problem - some applications/updates are not available via market.
If you still want to use the market:
Root and use market enabler
or
Get a SIM from a country that is "good enough" in Google's eyes
My Arc is from Germany, free of any lock or branding, why it would refuse to show it I have no idea.
But the install from apk went on just fine.

Thank you mate
However it doesn't work here in Syria, I believe Google checks the IP as well
Well my excitement for this app has improved!! I'm originally from Seattle, but I'm over here in Abu Dhabi visiting my GF for about 3 weeks, and for once my GPS can finally locate me! Granted, I have to keep the phone in Airplane Mode and the GPS icon keeps doing it's little flashing (aka no lock), but at least it's showing me on the correct intersection. I have yet to see what happens if I go outside onto a completely different block, but it's progress. Now only if there was a way to make the maps actually preload onto the phone and I could use GPS outside of the houses' WiFi so I can drive around town w/o getting lost.
She has a Captivate that I've rooted and she has installed a Du (one of their cellphone providers over here) SIM card into her phone so she can make calls, but she doesn't have a data plan. I'm going to update her phone to this version of Maps and see if her GPS acts better and/or can at least locate her based on cell tower location.
is brut mode?
I'm still running 5.0. Besides the checkin's and dashboard option, is this update really worth installing?
Are you serious? Its free!!!!

Just because something is free doesn't make it good. I've found many android app updates not worth updating to because either something is broken, drastically changed, or more useless.
THX
Thank you for the download
Hi,
how does the offline availability work? I plan to go on vecation next month and I would like to use maps navigation but I do not have any contract in the US for data connection. Can I plan my route on it and connecting with wifi and it will download all the data needed so that I can drive just fine?
Hi,
I've started getting an error over the last couple of days where I am unable to download anything from the market due to the error message "This item cannot be installed in your country."
I'm in the UK, have a completey unmodified Transformer running 3.1. I also have a HTC Desire which has no problems getting anything from the market, its just my Transformer which has this issue.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I fixed it by clearing my location data using this guide:

Ah sweet, cheers for the link. I started having probs today!
All I needed to do was 1-3, then re-added my login for gmail and it's all working again. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't find Auto Trader in the app, and then on the web market it said it couldn't be installed in my devices country...!
WOOHOO!! =D
Just a quick question regarding the android market region dependencies, does it check your region by looking at the ip?
I'm in Hong Kong atm, and some of the apps I cannot download (like google earth for example :\) due to the app being not available in the country. However I'll be going back to the UK in 2 months time so I'm wondering if the apps will become available when I get back to UK?
Cheers in advance
hi,
if you have root access, try MarketEnabler from Android Market.
Maybe this app help you..
Cheers for the information, though I'm not too bothered about not getting the apps at the moment, I just want to know if the apps will be available for when I get back to the UK.
Already searched the forums and google but can't find anything on it :\ but I appreciate the response!

Thx man! Thats what I serching for!
I'm currently happy with the Sense 3.0 original ROM - all I miss is Market Enabler or Market Access so I can avoid the 'country not supported' for some apps and the marketplace
Anyone had any luck with any of these apps. I want to spoof T-Mobile USA like I did on my Nexus One and download everything!
There's even a Maps update that I can't get because of being recognised as a Kenyan network user!
I would try asking this question in the Nexus one forum. Theres a lot of devs there browsing in my honest experience.
Good luck with this.
Hi Peeps,
Get my new "mini" few days ago. Its an Asian "guy" 601e, so i got few questions listed below :
#There is no more standard Google Play Market and instead i got HTC Marketplace? Is it even replacement? Advantages and dis` ?
#Mentioned above Marketplace is fully Chinese language. Is is possible to change it? Some of apps (like google maps after downloaded from marketplace and installed cant open)
#Now I`m in Singapore, but my phone cant provide proper location. Error message is below :
"Unable to contact the location to update your current location."
#Is there some ways to change my phone from "asian style" to "western" i guess most of y`all will understand what i mean.
Thanks,
that sucks. I hear China and other Asian counties are blocking Google and such.
you will need "Google services framework" as well as play store or any other Google apps. Why location won't work.
i'm guessing your not rooted? I don't know wether you can run these as user's apps. I think "Google services framework" needs to be installed to system.
there are plenty of "alternative" app stores out there where you can grab the apps you need. Though not sure you can fix location problem without Google..
i think you would need to root to use play store on a phone without play store. BUT you most likely will have to trick you're phone into thinking it's a US model. Don't know what other problems you will face doing this.

I have a 601e as well, but I didn't have any issues initially with the Google Play Market.
In any case, shortly thereafter, I wiped it clean and installed the latest 4.3 that tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
Installing a rom should fix that. Good luck!
