[Q] Market Issues?

Hi guys,
Is it just me, or are there a large number of apps that just don't want to install from the Android Market on the O2X?
The biggest omission seems to be Facebook. The official app used to install just fine, but not since 1.6.1. There's other strange ones too, like the official Not Always Right app [market link]. Why would that not be O2X compatible?
I am currently running CM7.1 nightlies on my phone, so that may be contributing to the issue, but seriously, what gives here? Is anybody else having any issues like this on either CM or official firmware?

I updated Facebook about an hour ago, no problem. Not Always Right installs fine too.
I'm on CM nightlies, #114 at the mo.

So it's just me then? Awesome, that makes me feel special!
...actually, I just updated to b114 then, and now everything installs again. How bizarre - nothing major in the build.prop seems to have changed from previous builds?
OK.. so.. problem solved then. Move along, nothing more to see here...

Bee to the Ewe to the Em to the Pee!
This is really annoying me. I'm now on CM7 b127, and I go to install the nifty new Woolies app.
This is what I get:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is driving me bonkers. I have no idea what is going on to make this happen all the time. Does anybody have any potential solution?

Not compatible with mine either, you'll have to blame the creator for that one though.

yes, but...
:crazyface:

Ah, that's not right, mine has it as compatible.
I'm on a kang build of CM7 (pre-128, for EXT4 support) with Market v3.1.3 installed on /system

Hrm
So I uninstalled all the Market updates on the phone, and was able to install the Woolies app (it may be unavailable outside of Australia btw), but the website is still cracking the ****s at me and saying it's not compatible.
Sigh!

Hello everyone, I've got a pretty big problem, ever since I tried to use Market Enabler(not sure though if that's the cause), I can't download/update anything from the Market. It stays on "Downloading...", the download bar is animated, but it doesn't fill like it should. Browsing is ok(also downloading from the browser), youtube, even searching on the Market, etc., everything until I try downloading/updating an app.
I've cleared cache, installed an older version of Market, rebooted, remounted SD card, port 5228 is ok... I'm really out of ideas...
It was working fine until I installed Market Enabler yesterday to try to install a Japanese Market app. I've since uninstalled MEnabler(after restoring default SIM settings). If you've got any ideas, please help. Thx.

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Clear data
Sent from my LG Optimus 2x using XDA Premium App

Doesn't work, I've even installed the Market again, nothing...
I also can log in to gtalk just fine.
Edit: Fixed it by changing phone language, thanks to temasek.

[Q] Google Wallet: Device Not Ready

I've seen threads on this issue for other devices, but none in the HTC One section so thought I might try and see if anyone here can help.
I got my HTC One on Friday and flashed CM 10.1 once the phone was activated. Everything is working fine, except Google Wallet keeps saying the device is not ready.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things I've tried:
1. Force stop of NFC Service and Google Wallet, clear cache/data on both, purchasing app on play store, then rebooting.
2. The Xposed Module for Google Wallet
3. Waiting 24 hours (apparently it can sometimes take 24 hours for SIM cards to be fully activated, but I can make/receive calls, get data, etc so that shouldn't be an issue)
4. Editing build.prop to change device name
5. Installing previous versions of Wallet
6. Crossing my fingers and praying to the Google Gods. Then rebooting.
Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? I'm going to try wiping the phone and then re-flashing CM, but am keeping that as a last resort.

Google Assistant 'OK Google' voice detection

I currently have Nougat 7.0 running on my OnePlus 3T, the phone is rooted and now I've activated Google Assistant via build.prop tweaks. The Google Assistant works just fine on home button long press. I'm trying to enable "OK Google" hotword detection from any screen. Must be too much to ask at this phase, but gotta show off to my rivalry friend who owns an iPhone.

For me Google assistans pops upp egen I say "Ok Google" but it wants me to say it 3 times every time. It is as if it doesn't save it. I have tried switching the microphone permission on and off again multiple times but nothing yet.
What version of Google App are you running Naitik527?

Has anyone gotten this successfully working? I had same problem and ended up factory resetting and now I can't even get Assistant to install.

i got it working by setting the default language to English (India), you can try by setting the default language to your region instead of default English (US).
note: it will only work as long as the screen is on or the phone is charging.

Also using Nova Launcher you can enable ok google from anywhere in settings, then it will react even when the screen is off. ?

Since Google Assistant was officially released, you can now call upon it anywhere including when the screen is off.

Even with google now I had issues with getting the hot words to work. I am in the US, but I switched from English (US) to English (XA) and it seems to work now. Though I'm not sure what region XA stands for. I'm going to leave it for a day and switch back to see if it stays working.
++edit++
Even though voice response worked, it appears it convert back to google now from google assistant. Google assistant is still gone after converting back. Hopefully it will activate again soon. So I don't recommend changing the voice region if you already have assistant.

Google Play Services for Instant Apps > Microphone. permission toggle ON.

Really?! When the screen is off (but phone charging?) I haven't gotten it to work, even doing what you said.
The assistant works fine when screen is on for me, even before turning on Play Services for Instant Apps and toggling on the microphone permission.
Any clarity you can provide will be very much appreciated.

I've been going crazy for months but it doesn't work for me.
I also tried to install google maps & services via ourplay from vivo store (ourplay creates a sandbox), in which version of map the timeline is active but does not record my movements.
ive upgeaded to Ocean by OTA

Forget the sandbox. You may be aware that it is highly unlikely that one phone has a timeline and the other doesn't and the hardware or the system is the cause.
The more probable cause is your google account or settings. Therefore, I advise you to first check if your device is GPlay certified in settings. If not, you should achieve it by adjusting your google account (on a computer) or reset the phone.
Another useful approach is checking the timeline on other phone (or tablet). You may borrow one if you don't have it. If hte timeline works, the problem lies in your phone, otherwise in the google settings.

It doesn't work for me. Device side problem as it works on other android tablet.

Did you check if you're device is google play certified? If yes, check settings and permissions. If it doesn't help, try to factory reset the phone and set everything from scratch.

I don't have the button for the verification from the play store, but only an application verification

But you do see "device is certified" under the Google Play - Settings - About?

I can't turn on location history either. It just has in Italics "Location History is off"
Can't select any toggle to turn it on.
In play store it shows my Device is certified.
History works fine on my other devices.
Live View for walking directions is also always greyed out on my Vivo for some reason.

Inspecting the issue thoroughly, I found that the location history actually doesn't work. The reason that I was mistaken is the fact that I use a dedicated car dongle in order to have Android Auto. And all time history I have has been plotted with this device. Last month I was travelling and got zero timeline.
I tried to enable it and totally failed. As it can be seen from the attached picture, my phone is not and can't be included in the location history.
I searched the web and found the probable reason. Chinese Vivo doesn't have full Google framework, only basic. Hence, it can't communicate with Google servers in full. That's why we can't make backup as well.
Actually, I don't miss the location history on the phone that much. But if someone is interested, there is an instruction to enable it here:
[FIX] [All Amazon tablets] Enable/Fix Google Location Services [MARCH 2019]
****UPDATE MARCH 7, 2019:**** If the guide below doesn't work for you, see additional instructions at the end. This seems to be a huge problem for many users...location services not working when the Google Play store is installed. I have found a...
forum.xda-developers.com
Of course, it is for a rooted device. But there is a slight chance enabling it without the root. The most important is getting the full Google service framework to the phone.
Otherwise, I guess, we are out of luck.

The non complete framework is the reason why many google features don't work:
- android auto;
- location history;
- google backup;
- "OK Google" voice activation.

Thanks for the explanations on the problem.
I tried to download the apk files.
Already the first on the list does not install due to a security exception.
I also tried to download the latest versions but I have the same error.

Any solution without Root?

Question Google play store on chinese rom

How can I install the play store on the Chinese rom? I've tried downloading it from APK mirror and it says "Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later." I've tried clearing the cache and no help.
Solved! "Google basic services" has to be enabled. It's found in the drop down menu within apps management in settings.

Just install it from the ZUI Store app on the tablet. You might need to use a phone camera to help translate..

I just flashed the stock chinese rom from the global rom. I actually figured it out. There's a setting in the app management tab in the settings where you have to enable google services. I had installed play services, google play store, chrome, etc... Factory reset a few times too. But I was poking around the app management and was looking at system apps to see if something was disabled that I needed and saw "google basic services" as an option and I was able to turn that on, and everything works now. So I hope if anyone else has that issue they come across this thread.

Toggling this on and off seemed to fix an issue for me where I couldn't push the "Sign In" button to log into Google Services on the first Play Store run.

It was late at night, I meant to say Amazon Prime. I assume it works but I thought I read on some Chinese roms that Netflix works but Prime Video doesn't. Hopefully I'm wrong, it's annoying if a device has Widevine L1 but some apps still don't work.
