i am an owner of a nexus s (rooted BUT stocked no rom/kernel/nothing)
Htc Desire
LG optimus one
and i have a strange problem with the google maps application
although i can see a notification that i can update the maps app when i try to all i get is an error "this video is not available in your country"
yes i know google maps is NOT a video but that's what i get in the app page
here's a screenshot i got
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
i live in greece..and i had ALL the latest updates to all my 3 phones..without using hacks/alternative apps (market enabler) etc etc..
but for the newest version 5.11 i think i simply can not update..
is there a know problem with greece or other countries?
i already posted on the google maps support and all i got back as feedback is to re-install the app witch i already did..
also add to that the google + applications gives me the same error!!!!
i too have the same problem since i have installed CM7 on my phone!
I think there is a video in the previews of this app and apparently its blocked in your country. The weird part is that the message removes the update and uninstall buttons. Try logging in to your account from your PC and go to the Android market and try installing from there. It should work.

I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error
Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..
what rom are you using buddy?
I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.
Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.
I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution
phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24058132
I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol
Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?
yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side
I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.
Google Play error

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.
I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.
I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom
Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.
Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?
About a 4 or 5 days ago a app started showing up in my "Installed" tab in the Google Play Store. The app has no title, and it says its made by TimothyMilla. The comments on the app say that its tied to Teeter, which is an HTC Bloatware game that comes with the phone. I haven't clicked Open on the app yet because the other apps made by TimothyMilla look suspect, TimothyMilla didn't make Teeter, and I didn't install whatever this is.
My question is does anyone else have this issue, or know what it is? Or does anyone know if TimothyMilla apps are spyware? Look Out Security couldn't find any maleware, but i'm really concerned with this showing up.
I've tried wiping everything off my phone, which removed the app at first, but by the time I finished reinstalling all my apps, it showed up again. (I reinstalled apps directly from Google Play, not through a phone back up).
Yeah I have the same app showing up in my play account. Comes up clean jen scanned though..

It's Teeter, however does not know why it shows up this way.
I removed teeter via titanium Backup (never played it) and it was also gone from My Apps on the store.
Hi!
I have such strange "app" too. And I've teeter installed on my phone. Anyway, I've never seen Timothymilla before yesterdey on my phone market.
I don't want to remove Teether. What is this app?
I noticed this yesterday as well. I clicked 'Open' and it opened Teeter. I haven't noticed anything different about my phone, so for now I'm just assuming its a link anomaly of some sort.
HTC Inspire 4G
RCMix3D 4.0

That is exactly what it is. This "dev" has an "app" with the same package name as the stock teeter app and thus is being mistakenly tagged in the store. Timothy Milla is NOT the dev that created teeter. The same thing is happening with the GS2's stock email app. The store is mistaking it for some Russian app. This is all do to the latest update to the store, 3.5.15. In short, you don't have Timothy Milla's app, you have teeter. The market link launches teeter because that is the package on the device that corresponds to that "app."
I don't know what happened but such entry has disappeared on my Play Store.
I had a similar event show up in my apps yesterday on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet. The strange thing is that it doesn't show the typical 3 choices of Update, Open, and Un-install. It just has a button for Open. I have no idea what it is so I am not opening it.
Is there some way to block an app from showing updates?
Rooted A500 - Thor HC 14.2 ROM
TimothyMilla appeared again!
This bothers me a lot!
One thing I forgot to mention is that this unknown app of mine has no permissions listed and also has no ratings or comments section. Does your Timothy Milla app have all these usual "bits" shown in its listing, or are they also missing on your mystery app?
As for the permission list, I don't see one too. But I don't see permission even on other normal apps. As for the comments, yes, they are present, I see few comments.
This morning I had 4 apps in the update list on my tablet, but the mysterious app previously discussed was gone. Hopefully Google figured out what was going on and dealt with it on their server.
Actually it disappeared again on my device too.
So, it seems to be a Google Play issue.
I'm getting the same information on the similar thread I started on Android Forums, so it looks like the issue has been discovered and fixed.
Not spyware
Well this is a little flattering... I'd just like to clear some things up. No, this isn't some major hack on the Android market that puts you all at risk. It is however, a huge bug in the new Play Store Google put out a little while ago. Let me explain: Google used to have a list of package names that they would screen from appearing in the market for example, preinstalled apps such as Teeter. Somehow when Google updated to the Play store, this system got reversed and it somehow picked my developer account (I'm still trying to contact Google and find out how) and displayed this on your "My apps" section. No, the app was not automagically installed on your phone, it was always preinstalled but it just now showed up in the Android market because of faulty programming on the engineering team for Google Play.

There is no way my device would have an intrinsic application which doesn't even list itself in English. Especially because the device on which it appeared is running a custom ROM, so I know which apps it would have "preinstalled". I believe what you are saying is that Google initially chose to block your account based upon that app, and it somehow got through. They likely had a good reason to do so. I see you do have other apps on the store, but every one of them lists in English. Not very compelling evidence that the rogue app was something safe.
Just a litte question (...or i hope so )
I installed the newest reaper rom an my desire s (my spare device) and saw its without google apps and so also without the gmail app
Well because its based on CM i tought i could just flash the gapps .zip from the cm7.1 thread and get the google apps...put it is not in the app drawer...
Would be pleased if anybody could help to get the gmail app onto my reaper rom based desire s
(because my account hasn't enough posts i'm not able to post directly into the reaper thread...sorry for this)
Why not just install the Google apps from the market? You get the option to install them when you first create your Google account on the phone.

yeah, what he said
Mhmm..i would do this, if the Google Mail App would appear in the list, but it doesn't..
Same issue with the play store on my pc...i can choose the desire S as an device to install on, its greyed out :/
Could this be a licence issue based on where you live? I run Reaper and to test this have just reinstalled Reaper v2.2, then added the v2.2.2 update after a full wipe. Put in my Google ID, go to the Play Store (I hate that name) and Google Mail is sat there - installs perfectly.
I also thought something like this, but i am from Germany and it's the first time something like this happens...
With my Nexus S (or any of my Android Phones, from the G1 over the Desire or the ZTE Blade) on every Custom Rom i tried until now, i had no problems with google apps like this...so i can't consider why this time
But i found out something...the clock goes wrong if i choose internet based time settings, it always says 2 hours erlier than it is here...perhaps the phone does not get the right localization so this might be the problem??
Jesterday i tried to go around the possible base of this problem with localization by using the market enabler app but it did not work...
The Gmail App appeared in the Play Store (hate that name es well ^^) but i could not download it to the device
Then i had enough so i searched a matching gmail.apk, pushed it via adb to the system and reconnected the market link with titanium backup.
Seams that this was the key...mail receiving and sending works unitl now
Thanks for the help...nice to be on XDA
Glad you got it working. Not sure what would have caused that problem before, but hopefully you can now just enjoy Reaper for the thing of beauty that it is.
Jep...i'm lucky it worked like this
I think i know now why this happend...it's because of the fact that google did not own the brand "gmail" in germany...so it was forbidden to spread any related software under this name, also the gmail app in the appstore
But a few days ago google now is the owner of "gmail" in germany too, so this issue might be gone soon
Reaper is really geat...good and stable rom...a perfect match for me and the desire s
OK so a couple days into Cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial...loaded a bunch of apps, processor and graphics intensive games.... This OS is awesome! But...time will tell really... After a few weeks, months, lets see how it performs...I have high hopes based on what I've experienced so far...
I'm running this on my SG Tab 3 10.1 P5210
A few things I should mention:
1. I had a big learning experience (major noob here) with TWRP recovery. For some reason Odin wouldn't allow me to unchecked 'auto reboot' as it was grayed out. So I modified the .ini file and changed the auto boot parameter from 1 to 0. Then I had to learn... First reboot after Odining TWRP.....HOLD HOME BUTTON+VOLUME UP+POWER..ONCE YOU SEE SAMSUNG LOGO RELEASE POWER STILL HOLDING HOME+VOLUME UP! Reason is, if you continue to hold power button, it's like disconnecting the battery, and reboots tab! UGH...after first successful boot into TWRP Recovery, is all good... To boot into recovery just boot holding power+VOLUME up like normal recovery... TWRP now loads so the time line of cake...
2. The Google Openapps zip did not install with Odin.. I .had to search around, I found frankin GAopen apps for 4.4 and installed via odin....took several play store updates until all Google apps settled down. There's prolly a better way to get the Google stock apps (play store, gmail, etc) that come with Android to install better but...I got them working so I won't complain...
3. When I change the wall paper, the image went whacky. Had to install a 2nd theme, switch themes, then switch back to straighten wallpaper iimage out
4. Keyboard was funky...I think this was from the frankinapps that I installed. Fixed by installing Google keyboard and disabling all others
5. When I install apps, I move them to my MicroSD card if possible. Any app with a widget (Weather Channel, Android Central, Calendar app, any widget app) that I move to the SD card doesn't work anymore. In fact I don't even see the app in the widget drawer. If I install say Android Central and place widget on any screen then move it to SD card it stops working. Fix is, move it back to internal storage.
6. Battery seems to drain quicker however Android 5.1.1 lollipop handles this well because once I get down to about 20% it drains much slower. Faster drain is prolly due to the fact that I'm actually using this tab much more than ever so, this may be a non-issue
7. Not sure if this is lollipop or Cyanogrnmod but, Lollipop (which is what Cyanogenmod is built on) has some really great features such as - auto adjust screen brightness and hue based on time of day.... This is very cool because it's 9:30pm EST and very dim in the room I'm in right now so the screen auto dimmed and adjusted the hue nicely... This is a big plus because it's very easy on the eyes and most importantly it save battery
Overall... Again... 2 thumbs up!!!!
I have also just installed CM12.1 on my SG GT-P5210, and found that for some unknown reason I could not download apps from Google Play store . They would not download to my tablet even tho' play store said it was installed, and I cannot find the apps on my tablet which I wanted. Anyone else have this problem.
Apart from that I like the OS and want to keep it.

I'm not sure how to do that, as that play store app is loaded/installed into the web browser.

So, you don't even have Google play store app right? You need to boot back into TWRP recovery and install the Google stock apps again... You might want to clear cache, delvik and all that...When you do install gaopen, watch carefully because you may experience the same thing as I did... Failure to install thus I found and used the frankin Google apps....

No I didn't have the Google play store app, and I only installed the CM12.1 file which only gives a few basic apps. I did try the open-gapps file, as far as I could tell maps and play store were installed, (maybe to the browser), but there were problems with both the play store and the maps apps. Neither of them would work, and the maps app error message said to uninstall maps then reinstall, but I couldn't find where I could uninstall , only to disable the app.
I also downloaded the play store app to my tablet, but again it would not work, as it just closed down as soon as I opened it up.
It's weired that the play store and maps work from the browser, but not from the actual tablet.

An update here: After installing open-gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160203,zip, the problem is down to google services not responing or working. This happens when I try to open the play store, gmail and anything else related to google and I get a message saying that Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped. There seems to be some problem related to the 'checking info' screen which never completes.
Hang on ...arm? I thought these tabs have Intel chips? Did you install the wrong open gaapps? Or did I ?
