I got the ICS update on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and now Google Search does not return results from the local device and Searchable Items is no longer an option in the Google Search settings menu. So now I can't search for contacts, music, apps etc except by going to those individual apps. This is highly annoying. I've read I can root and sideload Google Now but voice search isn't working on it yet.
I know this is specifically a Samsung thing as my HOS still has it as do all my other android devices. The Google Search app in the Play store still allows local device searching but I can't download it (incompatible device?!?!)
Are there any third party apps that can get this functionality back?
Are any work arounds available?
Just wait a little

I think they are updating most of the apps for the latest ICS firmware, a few days ago Ebooks app was disabled and this morning I got an update from Play Store (previously it was saying that was not compatible in my country) and TA-DA!, it's working now.
I recommend you to wait a little, maybe a few days....
If you can get the apk, you could side load it, most apps work with our devices even if the play store won't let you download it. You may even be able to get it from the Amazon app store

Has anyone gotten the play store to auto-update to the new 4.0.x version? I know I could side-load it, but I was hoping for it to just auto-update to avoid hassles.
I've tried various combinations of clearing the play store and google services data, uninstalling their updates, and rebooting, and it re-updates them to the prior 3.x versions.
Is this just me? Anyone have suggestions on how to get this to update properly?

Mine is 4.0.26. I suggest try to clear data Google play store and Google Play services, uninstall updates, then reboot, this Google Play services should update and so is play store...hopefully.

Well, I'd tried that before, with no luck. Maybe something snuck in before I restarted and it updated to the old version? Who knows.
This time, based on some other searching I'd done, I tried also clearing the data for Google Services Framework, and being sure to reboot as fast as I could after doing all that.
I also went in and looked at the app versions after restarting but before launching the play store, and it had quickly re-updated the Google Play Services app to I think the newest version (3.0.27, matches my Droid 4 that has the new play store). After launching the play store, it updated that, but only to 3.10.14 (I think it was 3.10.9 before), not 4.0.x.
So, still no luck

I assumed that you're on the latest rom (JB 4.2.1) and latest bootloader? download and side load play store from here:

Hi everyone, I was wanting to know what all the different components of Google are on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (LG Enlighten vs700 phone). I ask because Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps prompting me, "Sorry! The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close is the only option when i get this message, and it does reappear.
I have spent weeks on this - there are hundreds maybe even thousands of forums out there all devoted to this error. Seems like a huge volume of phones experience this error. There are a few fixes, but it only seems to work for a handful of people who have this problem.
What have I tried?
Factory reset (several times)
Reinstalling google play store, services, and market with the latest or a different version than what's on there now
youtube fix - I even reinstalled youtube
at this point, i did another factory reset last night just to start over with a clean slate - youtube works wonderfully. i have email on it. as a work around i use the amazon app store and 1 market store for apps, but it's a real bother with no google play and constantly getting the errors.
the strange part is i have a second identical phone (which is my experimental phone) - which does NOT get this error. I have no idea why one does, and the other doesn't.
the reason i was wondering about the components and versioning is as a last attempt to fix this (before i just live with it) - i was going to reinstall ALL the components google uses for the playstore to work, manually. i don't necessarily want to install the latest - i want to install the version specific to gingerbread 2.3.4. i have looked and looked online but i haven't been able to find any kind of component list (much to my surprise) the two components i have figured out are:
google play services 4.3.24 (android 2.3+)
google play 3.5.15 (android 2.3+)
I uninstalled Google Play Store to install the modded one, but I couldn't install it, so i reinstalled Google Play Store and it gave me an error(forgot which one). I solved it by manually transforming it into a system app. Then it gave me another error(title). I cannot solve it, I searched every place on web and still didn't found an answer. I also tried factory resetting.

Why not inquire there?
Hi all,
Today I encountered an issue with the YouTube thereafter the Google play store.
On trying to control my android TV with my Huawwei P40 that has the Googlefier method to enable Google Play Store I got an error stating that my device was not Google certifed.
I then went into Google Play store & got the same error then everything stopped working Google related
I immediately opened the Googlefier App & got an error stating that I have the incorrect phone version (Probably due to firmware update in South Africa) I proceeded to remove all Google apps via Googlefier & start again.
This doesn't work Now I cannot use Googlefier to re-install my Google Play Services ( I kept Googlefier & LZ Play on my phone if I ever encountered a problem)
LZ Play doesn't work now & I am unsure what to do...
Please help...
Side note: I did see the latest GSpace apk but unsure if I would be able to log into multiple accounts on Google & have all the apps working including Google Calendar & Google Drive etc.
Thank you!!!
Hopefully I can get some help
