Google Play Store?

Anybody else get this upgrade to their market?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Yes, I got it earlier. Everyone should get it in a day or two. It's just a renamed version of the market. They also renamed Music, Books, and Videos to add Google Play in front.

I love the new direction of Google.
Does this mean Google music for every country?

Seen that, should have searched before posting this

I got the update! Loving the direction Google is going as well, this was definitely needed!

I got it using the workaround I found in other thread.
Those who haven't got it yet could try these:
1. Force close Market
2. Clear data
3. Uninstall updates
4. Open Market (it should ask you to accept Google Play agreement)
5. Wait till it loads
6. Press home button
7. Just wait for a while, if possible, leave the screen on for about 5 minutes
8. Go to Settings - Applications, you should see Google Play already installed

All I did was clear the data and I got the update...

What's new about it? Dont want to lose my transparent widget yet.

Just got the update and this is awful I mean really naming it the "play store"? I can accept the play movies, & play music part it is kinda catchy for the media aspect but renaming the whole market? Just no. Play apps and play books just sounds wrong when saying it. Androids starting to suck bad.
Also no matter what the market keeps updating I even uninstalled market updater and it comes back, anyone got any ideas on how to keep the old market?

I don't think you can...cause even if you can get the old market its going to be uploaded every time you get into it! What you can do is getting an app which allows you to change the name of the apps.....

got this morning... loose all the widget settings... fixed now

Got this on my nexus by clearing the data, I see no real difference, but it has just been announced, a unified place for all this sounds nice .
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

gold headphones for Play Music.... ugh.

Dislikes the name..but love the discounts..

Deleting data of market app is enough to trigger the update.
But so far there's no change here, except a new name, new icon and ver-number 3.4.6.
All the good stuff is still available in the us only.

Should be pushing out now ... I got mine yesterday

I already had the market on my dock. This morning it was gone. Went to my apps looking for market. After looking close to 15 minutes I noticed play store. My biggest issue with this is that my shortcut should have remained with the changed name. Not delete my shortcut entirely.
I agree. I hate the name "play store". I have already changed the icon.

Are they not going to update the icon in the top right?

Any ideas when Google Play come to Asia guy ? I Didn't get the update notification yet ?

Go to settings - apps - market, delete data.
Open market, hit accept and wait, it will upgrade in background.

It's probably some app you have installed causing it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Did you install 3rd party apps (not from the Play Store)?

i have three installed apps not from the play store (i had them before) but this didnt happen, i already confirmed that everytime the network signal goes and comes back again this happens.... i dont know how to remove it, probably has to do with the 4.4.3 update :/

Never heard of anything like this and it's most likely something else causing it (i.e. not 4.4.3, maybe a rogue app).

i've had the same apps since.... forever, is there an app to search for rogue apps ?

You could start with anti viruses and alike... or see what processes are running through adb / shell when the message shows up.
Connect the android to your computer running a live logcat and see what happens when that creepy smile shows up.
It's weird, never saw anything like that before, seems like from one moment to another will jump our of the screen and start hacking and slashing :b

Lol it's a 3rd party app. That you can be 100% sure of. If you were to boot your phone into safe mode it would stop happening.

This is really funny

probably it is, i don't know which app is to blame, i only installed spotify (new version)... right now i'm in safe mode, will leave the phone like that for an hour or so.... at the moment i've lost signal a couple of times and no smiley face has come up...

Strange indeed. Could it be a network message of some sort? Though I haven't heard of it before, it's possible that it is a network connection acknowledgment of some sort.

here are my findings..
current network: TELCEL (mexico)
smiley appearing after loosing and regaining signal (doesnt matter if it has data enabled or not)
apparently theres a sim toolkit in every sim from TELCEL, i thought that it might be the main issue (toolkit is some services the network provider has )
current solution: changed runtime from dalvik to ART, has been almost 24 hrs without that smiley... just fyi

Press down on the home key for a few seconds while you're on your home screen , or say Ok Google. I still haven't got Google assistant yet for some reason... Updated Google play services, Google play, and the Google app to the latest and still nothing

Google Assistant
For those who want google assistant.
Here is an easy way to get it if you are rooted.
Using root explorer or any other text editor
add the following line to your "build.prop"
file which is located in root system/ and
add the following:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Be sure to SAVE the updated build.prop fille
after adding that line.
After that go to the play store and make sure that you have
the latest update of the google app and then reboot your
phone...
That's all there is to it.
Good luck, have a great day!

Is it the same assistant as in Google Allo?

Not yet... I read that it may take a week or two for it to roll out to everyone, but I may call Google soon (since I doubt I'll get a reply with email, and you can't really chat with them via text.) And ask them what's up and if there's anything I can do to get it now.

today there is a new Google service update 10.5.35 which supports google assistant.. but it is not for 1440p (v.440) yet
maybe it will be in the upcoming few days

Some users confirm that it is working with 10.2.98 !

Just got Assistant about an hour ago.

Video frame freezing

I was taking some video at a music gig I ran sound for last night and was having problems where the frame would freeze for like a second or two then catch up. Does this on the playback also does the same thing. My pixel 2xl didn't do this at all. Phone was keep stationary so wasn't like it couldn't keep up with motion or anything. Anyone else having this problem?

I just ran a test, recorded a 4 min video with no freezes. Curious if you had lots of apps loaded in memory, or if it was especially warm in that room. I checked and only had a couple of apps loaded. Just two things I thought of. Still would be very interested in what support says. I do sometimes take fairly long videos of music performances. Never had that issue on my previous phone either.

I would start no but also never had problems with my pixel 2xl a oneplus 6 or any other phones I've had in the past. I could do a factory reset and see if that's fixes it. I highly doubtful it will do anything

Called Google support and talked to a pixel 3 support guy. After trying a bunch stuff including clearing cache and app data. We were able to replicate the problem over the phone. He had my revert the stock camera app back to the original version when the phone was released and appears to be working fine. I will report back once I'm able to take more videos.

How did you revert back to a previous version of the camera app? Isn't the current Sep 5th update the same one the phone was released with?

Go to the settings page and find the camera app and click clear cache and data then click the disable button, this should uninstall and updates then if it doesn't take you the playstore then go too the playstore and find the Google camera app and go to the top right hand corner and click the drop down thing and uncheck the auto update function.
