[Q] How can I retrieve my Google Maps update to version 5.5.0?

Today as soon as I opened my Android Market app in my HTC Desire, it showed me that and update for Google Maps version 5.5.0 is available. And I was able to update it without any problem.
But later I did a factory reset of my phone because the Mobile security in my phone was malfunctioning (not because of new google maps) from last few days due to some unknown reasons.
After reset I was expecting to get the google maps updated automatically, but unfortunately it did not. I am afraid why it is so?
I was eagerly waiting for the update form last so many months, and finally when I got it, I lost it even before I could explore it nicely.
Please tell me I you have any idea how can I retrieve my update to version 5.5.0? Or any suggestions related to the matter.
Thanks a lot.

Dunno, go to the market, find Google Maps and tap on update? What am I missing here?

the thing is that it first has to register that you haven't updated google maps - after downloading it today, they registered on the server that you had already recieved it.
best thing to do is to go to market.google.com and try there to download google maps there; it will check the version and when it sees the old version, will override to update!

Got market enabler from market, fake provider like T-Mobile, install as usual.

[Q] Bing Music: I can't see the icon?

Hello,
I've updated my device to mango beta.
Now I've version 7661.WP7_5_Trial?
How can it be that I don't have Bing Music?
Also, Instant resuming is not working?
Do I have an older version or something?
I have an Omnia 7.

The new Bing features may not be available in Belgium just yet.
As far as instant resuming, third party apps have to be updated to work with Mango in order for this to take place. Since, no one can publish Mango'd apps to the Marketplace yet, the only way to do this right now is develop an app of your own with the necessary update or download someone else's.

Marketplace down?

I can browse the market but when I try to download and app it says:
Service Not Available
Marketplace isn't available at the moment.
Please check back in a bit.
Error code: 805a01f4
Anybody else having this issue?

I have the "Info not available at the moment. Check back in a little while" error.

I believe they are updating the market to add the apps that were put on hold.

Not available!
Hi all
So, it seems to be up again but for lots of apps (some that were showing as available this morning) are now showing as not available. I get a message saying that the software may need to be updated, or not available in my region.
Anybody?

Why are most Windows Phone 7.8 apps no longer published at the store??

Just uninstalled a few apps (Official Aljazeera, E! Red Carper, etc) on my WP 7.8 and to my realization, some of these apps are no longer published at the store when I go into my purchase history and try to reinstall them.
Are they no longer available to WP 7.8 and available to only WP 8?
Why are they no longer published?
Is Microsoft removing them and Why?
Can anyone try to see if they are available in different regions? And if they are not, why is Microsoft limiting these general apps at the store? Are they prematurely forcing us to WP 8?
If you still use WP 7.x, try logging into windowsphone.com, go to your purchase history and see the number of apps that are no longer published (you can see these apps cuz they are directly indicated in orange ink as such and not finding the reinstall link beside these apps)
Please help, need more insights into this and now I better watch out for important apps before I uninstall them....might not have them again if you do....just like in my situation now. Regretted uninstalling these apps seriously and kinda sad now :'(

It's not just WP7. A lot of developers have dropped support for the platform as a whole.

Well that's very bad for Windows Phone.

The same issue i have. My country: Romania.

Wierd thing is apps like Kayak are ON THIER WEBSITE.. and I could download a XAP but not in the marketplace.
Seems 7.8 must have borken a lot of them or something.
I would love to know how to sideload Kayak with the XAP on to my DVP with the latest 7.8

I don't think you cab sideload the Xap files on WP 7.8. You'll need an SD Card to do that and legacy devices lack that. Too bad for WP 7.8

You can sideload xaps on custom ROMS in WP7.8

[APP] Alarmpad : how to get it ?

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !

For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/

I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Thanks for the links Stefano
Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/

I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !

I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.

Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.
