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.

install Market Enabler and fake change your provider to access the paid market ...i updated mine and works!

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?

[Q] How do i get a market Update?

Hi all!
I´m using Prime 1.9 ROM.
The problem is, that my market version is still at 1.0.28 which is an old one. someone know how to get the updated version?
Greetings
Cyber

I think that's the current market for HC tablet.

I don´t think so because i can download facebook an there is no version available for tablets.

You're talking about side loading. You did not download Facebook directly from market did you?
You can certainly side load the newest market version but it's NOT optimized for tablet.
The latest up to date version for tablet is what you have.
but if you want just download and install the market from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231290
Your original question was "How do i get a market Update?" which you will not because you are up to date.

okay i understand.
but i´m still wondering because i got on the original rom no chance to download facebook so i think there must be maybe a filter or something for tablets when loading the market site.

When I first got my TF, FB was pre-installed. Some times after that they removed it from market for HC tablet. So now when it get update, I just pull it from my phone and install it on the TF.

The most up-to-date market app caused a lot of my apps to force-close. If you sideload it, remember this, in case you start getting apps unable to run.

[Q] Re-Buy app I bought in Amazon Appstore in the Android Market?

Hey, guys.
Since there's a 10 cent sale, I can't pass it up. There's 2 apps I got on the Amazon Appstore for free, but they're on the market for 10 cents. Might as well pay the 10 cents and get better support and updates through the Android Market.
However, the Android Market shows I have those 2 apps... but I can't download them because it keeps coming up that I haven't paid for them. Duh! It won't let me purchase them either. It keeps coming up "Error - The download was declined because you haven't purchased it."
There's no buy button. Just install. I Force Closed Market, cleared cache, and cleared defaults. Still the same problem. What can I do?

Have you tried from a computer?

No luck there.

It's solved. Google says their payment system is updating. It's on their end. Didn't get an ETA for when it'll be fixed. Probably later tonight is my guess.

I'm now having the same problem for swiftkey... did it ever get resolved for you?

Uninstall the Amazon version of the app.
Purchase it from the android market.
Have a nice day.

I have the same problem and even if I uninstall the app from Amazon Appstore, Android Market continues telling "install" instead of "buy".
If I try to install : Market tells me I didn't purchase it...

I'm in the same boat, I have uninstalled the other version, tried unlinking it with TB and I still can't buy some apps

I have the same problem. I couldn't even manage to buy with (old) Market version 2.2.11.

I remember an option to "buy the app anyway" after the screen "you haven't purchased it", when I was using old Market.
I'l try to downgrade the Market to see if the option is still available...

just chiming in to say i'm having the same problems as everyone else, I can't find a work around.

The old market says the credit cards I attached to Google checkout are invalid. It is very strange because they are usable on Market 3.3.11...

This has been driving me crazy since yesterday...but I think I found a fix.
Following the suggestions from Sygmasf (credit goes to him) on this link:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=39a174b42dfab155&hl=en
I uninstalled the app in question and removed it's folder from the phone completely. Then, I installed the old version of the market he links to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743249&d=1318041888) and I was able to download the app I wanted.
The app I wanted was SoundHound and in the old version of the market that I had to install it showed as $4.99 but when I clicked to download it actually showed it was only charging me $.10.
YeeHaw! Now...if I could only get back to the "new" version of the market...
ETA: I just restored Market from a previous Titanium Back-up I had and I'm back to the latest and greatest!

I was having the same problem with Beautiful Widgets that I got from Getjar Gold Apps and that worked for me.
I froze the Market (and updater), installed the older market and bought the app (it was highlighted with green and showed the €0.10 price). Thanks!

I had problems installing the apk. Said 'Cannot Open File'
I got around this by going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Scroll to Market then Uninstall Updates. That rolled it back to an earlier version where I could buy the app.

open a ticket with Google technical support
it's a known issue, they still don't have a fix
apparently thousands of users are having the same problem

[APP]new android market GOOGLE PLAY

the point is to keep everything together like music and books instead of having Google Music seperately and Google E-Books seperately. It's for ease of use. But i have to say the name just doesn't work. I'm sure i'll get used to it.
To OP: I know it updates automatically, but a link may be helpful for some:
http://www.mediafire.com/?72w5189rc2wpa0c

it is 5 times faster than the older version for me it is perfect )

Yes that's true! The speed of Google Play is impressive comparing the old Market's speed! And only that is enough for me to be happy with this update!

The only good thing about switching to Play thing is that I can now see viz and pics in market, as they used another pool of IPs, which has not yet been blocked in my "democratic" country. ^^

i have a question, i recently reinstalled my ROM and i have the old market again
i was wondering hot to get it back? it updates automatically or manual?

For me, it updated automatically, so just be a little patient

Reviewing apps as A Google User?

How can I review an app as "A Google User"? I still see these with new dates in the reviews, but Google Play App is trying to force me to join Google Plus to post a review, which I want to have no part of.
I have rooted Sensation and would appreciate any advice on how to sidestep this new Google BS.
Thanks

Any ideas, anyone?

Just create a g+ account, you don't need to use it for anything else than reviewing!

I am still curious what people are doing to review as "A Google User"

Odp: Reviewing apps as A Google User?
That's simple. These guys use Market 2, and even after you have it connected to g+ on website or some newer version of google play, on the old one it shows as google user.

Somewhere over xda. But I can't guarantee it will work, as it is old version. Since it changed into Google Play, and updated to version 3.10, Market 2.3.6 may not support your device well, even on Gingerbread, not saing about ICS. I cant test it, because I don't have Sensation yet. You can browse und buy apps only, forget about books, movies...
Mayby it's better just not to review apps?
Its gonna look like this

I don't use the books, movies part of Google Play anyway. I only use it for apps. But once I install the old version, how do I keep it from updating into Google Play automatically? Is the one you linked to appropriate for a Sensation? And I do have ICS, but I don't think Google Plus was required to do reviews in the early days of my ICS installation.

That is how I want my reviews to look, so I can do them without Google Plus.
Edit: I went to the other thread to make the download and the only link there has gone bad. It only downloads iLivid junkware. No link to the market apk at the hosting service.

Anyone have the APK for the last version of google play app that don't force us to join google plus to write a review for an app?
Thanks
