[Q] Google play wont run - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running [email protected] #6 on my evo shift. Android version: 2.3.7
Downloaded Google play. When I run it. It says" You must add an account to the device to continue, Do you want to add one now? "
Yes or no Play just goes off the screen. Help?
I have setup a gmail account and that doesn't help. Sign into google account fine with my browser that doesn't help. Can't setup email. Because it is asking for Exchange setting. Not using Exchange. Help? Ohh Noob here too.

I rip everything I can of Google out of my phone. At this point, I have maps, contacts, the market, and the respective libraries. Nothing else.
The reason is that Google is an evil corporation that plays the nice guy act, in order to harvest all of our data. I would rather pay for my services than bend over for Google.
The way I look at it, Apple does not give you control, and makes you pay for that service. Google gives you a false sense of control over your phone, all the while tightening the shackles on their new data slave.

Or find the google play.apk, download, move to system/app, change permissions to r,w-r-r, reboot... Should be all good

[Q] Can't install Beautiful Widgets on Nexus S [solved]

Hi guys,
I've managed to install many applications on my Nexus S, however I just can't install Beautiful Widgets on it at all. Does anyone know if this screenshot attached can help - or can anyone point me in the right direction?

}
I've emailed the developers, and they say that Beautiful Widgets is indeed compatible with the Nexus S, and they develop on the Nexus S all the time.
So I don't know if it is my Google Apps account or something else that is making this difficult?!
Thanks guys
Did you try buying it from the Market app on your phone rather than the website?
As a last resort, you can download the app market enabler and spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets
It definitely works on the NS but I wish I hadn't bothered as it seems really pixaly.

I've had no problems with it on mine. I use the Beautiful Home Smaller Weather widget on both my home screen and lock screen. It's pretty terrific. You might have issues with the location function, but if you do, you just have to clear the caches in any apps that use location (when I first got it, it was setting to my old apartment. I had to wipe data in BW and Maps, and it's been fine).
The OP isn't asking if the widget works on the NS or not. The problem the OP is having is buying the app from the website, unsure if he can buy it within the market app.
Thanks for the advice.
I can't actually find the Beautiful Widgets app in the Market app on my phone.
Even if I go to the developer's website and scan the QR code, the Market app tells me that there are no search results.
Perhaps then it is a location (South Africa) problem, and I will need to spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets.
I've just never rooted my phone, and if this is the case, I will need to do some more reading up on how to backup, root, recover, etc before I go any further!
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Going to try purchase it with AndroidPit website ... will revert!
Hi Guys,
It was definitely a location type problem between my phone and Google, or else a problem with Google Checkout and my credit card?
Perhaps I can't purchase any app through the Google Marketplace? I'll have to check that out further.
At any rate, I purchased the BW app through AndroidPIT and BW works perfectly!

Are you on 2.3.3 GRI54? Previously I flashed the Axura ROM and I can see almost all apps but not Fifa 10, when I go to market.android.com, it says the same thing, the app is not compatible with my phone. The developer fixed it by using back the signature GRI40 for the ROM.

The OP already fixed the problem, it was a problem with his location.
No need to respond to this thread anymore.

I'm currently having trouble installing the Google Play Store over the old Market app. I've downloaded 3.4.6 and 3.4.7 as .apks and still nothing works. How do I delete the old Android Market? I can't find it in system/app thanks!

check /data/app/
if its in there then you might want to move it to /system/app/
Dont use any apks you have downloaded.
Try this:
Delete the apk you have installed (uninstall updates)
Clear data
Connect to wifi
Go into market
Press home, let the wifi be on
Wait ca. 5 minutes
Go into market again. If promoted accept google play
If the old market comes up, press home and let the wifi be on
Wait another 5 minutes
Go into market again and accept the terms.
Let me know if it helped

Thanks for the help. However, my default Market (v3.4.4) doesn't have any updates. The only options I can select are "Force Stop" and "Disable". Also, I've left WiFi on and nothing is prompting me to update to Google Play.
There is one wierd issue though. After force closing the Market app to see if it would update, it didn't update to Google Play but when I launched the Market app it asked me to accept the new Google Play terms and conditions. (I am still on the old Market app though.)
Hmm, thats reakly wierd. If nithing helps, try a clean update of your phone

I didn't find this anywhere else on the forum for the latest version so i'll post this modified version of spotify that i has put together to work with landscape! Perfect for your car dock and such. The only thing i've found that doesn't work so far is the Play Now window, you can't get it up without turning the phone back to portrait. Maybe someone here know how to fix it, if so let me know!
Anyways you can download the current version Here (0.6.0.17)
Thank you for this wonderful fix! Any progress on the Now Playing Tab?

Tip from Zisid
A tip is to navigate to "sdcard://Android/data" and find "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui" and rename it to anything. After that you uninstall the market version of Spotify and installning this. After that you navigate to the data folder again and rename the renamed folder back to the initial name. Then all playlists, settings, and songs should still be there. Just like before!

I tried this. Playlists and settings were saved, offline songs had to be re-downloaded.

PS: I posted a link to this in the "Why isn't there a landscape mode?" thread in the official Spotify Help Forum: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Why-isn-t-there-landscape-mode/m-p/95245#M5657
Thanks for the app! For some reason, Facebook Connect fails.

Hi, thanks for this appli, work only with fb account? no other solution?
Dude, thanks for this, installed and tested the landscape rotation. Seems to be working perfectly @ all angles. Such a simple thing and the guys over at spotify don't seem to feel it's a necessity. Glad you did and took it upon yourself to fix the problem!
Thanks again, your efforts are greatly appreciated!!

Edit/Update: Looks like radio isn't working on this version. I don't have premium and literally only use the mobile app for the radio functionality. Not sure when radio was added but any chance you can re-swizzle this with a version that includes radio? It does work perfectly as far as I can tell, but since I don't have premium I can't say for sure.
@jason2005: I was able to log in just fine with my Spotify creds, no need to login with facebook. But then I was a beta tester when it 1st released here in the states and never chose to link my FB account to it.

Same here, I think that will be a permanent fault due to the device level authentication codes which spotify uses when authenticating with facebook.
Use the instructions here:
https://www.spotify.com/uk/help/faq/account/#connect-devices
to set up a username and password for spotify devices, there are a couple of hoops to jump through but it does work!
No landscape support in this version either from spotify So here is a new modified APK for you to download!

Hiya guys,
Normally I would close a thread at request if it is worthless and only had a few posts. However since this is good, valuable info I will leave this thread open as it could potentially help someone else. Also because it may prevent someone else with the same problem from starting a new thread for the same thing since this thread already exists.
Regards.

New options in settings sync (google account)

Hi!
I've noticed new options when I enter settings and select my google account (sync details).

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you know what are these? Weird is that there are "*" in some titles. Do you know what are these with star? Do you know what exactly does it sync? Do you know why there are 2 exact same positions? Don't know why one of these options is in english while rest is in Polish. Is everything OK or maybe I should wipe data (I dirty flashed when coming from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3)
Thanks in advance
These are supposedly hidden sync points. Have you installed Greenify?. Greenify Experimental version enables/displays these 'hidden' ones - so you can chose to enable/disable sync on them.
Yes, I installed greenify but never would guess this is because of greenify. Thanks for help
Mine now has 3 options for photos...
Google photos
Auto backup Google photos
Google+ photos
..nice one Google for making your software so easy to understand.. nobs
Can anyone say what exactly does that sync mean:
- Location and location something
- Google Play services
- Push subscription
I was curious about these too. And also why there are 2 "Game Data" options
Also, I unticked a bunch of them (i.e. Push Subscriptions, Google Photos, etc.)
But notice that they get reticked (upon reboot, I think)
