Its an update to play services.

Just flashed a custom 4.2.2 N7 rom and sure enough, it's there - interesting enough, it's showing up also on my HTC DI2 running GingerBread (custom rom written over a year ago,) no prompt or option to cancel/postpone or decline, just auto-updated (except that it did not have the Location & Search sub-menu like the N7)
Suffice to say - easily integrated without crashing or freezing, enhancement across the board for all Google devices ... I think. :highfive:

The icon looks very unattractive. Now my app drawer has 3 similar icons side by side that are blue (Google Search), green (Google Settings), and red (Google+)

Hhmm, I don't have it. Dirty AOKP. I'll reboot and see
..
OK, after reboot it's there.

Now my Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1.2 rooted got this...

It came with recent update of Google Play

Yeah, it's for the new Google+ sign-in. You will be able to sign into apps with your Google account once devs integrate it.

I've set it to hidden in Apex Launcher, no need to have multiple settings apps, and I don't really use Google+

[BREAKING] New version android 4.3 founded

Hi friends.
When i have some free time,i browse browser's header on www.handsetdetection.com .
Today i have found this : Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 4 Build/JWR23B) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.60 Mobile Safari/537.36
So in my opinion ,google should release this version before the key lime pie.
I hope they add AVRCP 1.3 support in this version. Google has really been dicking the dog on this one.

If this is true then we won't be seeing Android 5.0/Key lime pie at the Google conference. Not a big deal to me, I am happy with Jellybean . I would prefer Google to fix those issues [sensitivity, battery etc...] with JellyBean rather than unveiling a new android.

Unable to update Facebook app?

I may have run into a weird bug. I cannot access Facebook in the playstore, and when I look at the version that came preinstalled on the First, it's version 3.0, whereas on my HTC, it's running 3.2.
Anyone else running into this?
It isn't a huge concern, as I'm giving this phone to my grandmother who doesn't even use facebook, but, I just find this endlessly odd.
That shouldn't happen. Have you tried visiting the "my apps" section of the play store and try the Facebook app that (should) show up there?

It doesn't show up anywhere. Not in the my apps section, and not when I search for it in the play store. Even on the desktop, the web version of the play store says its incompatible. It's a bit weird.

Hmm, Maybe this SKU of the first has mistakenly been blackballed from receiving facebook updates in the play store? If anyone has any other colors, I'd like to know if they are experiencing the same problem.

[Discussion] Android 4.3 Issues

What issues have you experienced on Android 4.3?
In my case the wipe dalvik cache starting apps on boot bug still exists which is just irritating and the developer of Clipper has found a multi-clipboard crash on Android 4.3 which was reported to Google.
Miracast no longer works with play music app. Guess they disabled because of their chromecast dongle. Very naughty google! Taking cues from apple now?

I heard that other people had the same issue, try wiping the Play Store cache and data, if that does not work then do the same to Google Play Services of it is there (icon disappeared and turned to an android on my side in the battery menu).

Most of these "issues" that you're talking about are not 4.3 issues, they're app issues! Apps need to be updated to work properly on 4.3!

True BUT Android 4.3 is causing this class issue for certain applications and plus this thread is about the issues within the OS, application issues to do with the OS itself and much more.
Basically this is about issues people suddenly get after the update.

No no no, you just try wiping the Play Store or/and Play Store Services and if that does not help and you are using the first email you added to the device then you need to factory reset.

Are the notification light working properly with the 4.3 or we still have to use Light flow to get them?
Since getting the ota update to 4.3 my nexus4 has been having performance issues especially when playing games. Playing a simple game like candy crush is stuttering and having a drop in frame rate, is anyone else experiencing the same problems?
Hi, I have some litle issues too.
Go Launcher Ex's notification icon permanent stayng in my status bar. I install the old version and nothing change.
In Apps>Infor for Go Launcher Ex, I set to not show notifications, but after restart I'm geting icon again.

Download the 6.9 apk file
Uninstall Google apps by dragging the icon to the edit (turns to uninstall)
Go to the apk file ( i use es explorer ) and click to install.
NOTE: make sure to remove the auto update apps in the play store to keep it from auto updating Google maps.

Most recent version is 6.14.3 from Feb 20, 2013
This version is still the 'old' style, but the most updated version of it. 6.9.0 was from June 27, 2012, whereas the 6.14.3 build was from February 20, 2013. From the same website you posted just a different link http://www.androiddrawer.com/9559/download-maps-6-14-3-app-apk/
I have 6.14.4 in a Titanium Backup set. That was the last version I got from Google Play before the crap versions hit my phone. I'll try to find somewhere to upload it.

it's not a crappy app =/
the problem it's adreno libs, try to use nokia here.com in the browser and you will see artifacts.. we can't use the new adreno libs because it's needed a new kernel supporting ION memory manager.. actually android 4.2 is running using legacy support for adreno in the kernel, it happened to every phone using adreno 205..

How to prevent MAPS from auto updating
You can prevent Google Maps from updating to the new, crappy version by selecting it in Titanium Backup. When the window opens with Backup! Freeze! Un-instal! showing at the top, swipe to the left to bring up the SPECIAL FEATURES window, and in that window select Detach from Market under the Playstore/Market heading.
Voila. Even if you are set up for auto updates to all your other apps, Google will not auto update your Maps app after you have done this.
I've tried that. Works fine.....
Until you reboot. Then it's re-attached to the Play Store.

Could something else be making it show back up in the updates after a reboot? I always turn off auto update in the play store right after it's loaded on a new rom install.
After I detach from market it won't show in updates, buy shows up again after a reboot.

have you tried turning off update notification?
Not sure how that will help?
Notifications don't include it before the reboot, do after.
And whether or not notifications are enabled, the update shows back up when I go into play store after a reboot.
What I would prefer is a permanent detach, one that survives reboots. Is it possible?
