[Q] Chrome to Phone app missing from Market - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really wanted to try the Google Chrome to Phone app, but I couldn't find it on the Android Market (I'm in Hong Kong). I even clicked on some QR links to the app, but again, it couldn't be found on the Market.
Anybody else have this issue? Is it not available for the DHD or in Hong Kong?

Yes i have the same problem. I had to download the application from another place found-it on a blog ...

@liniutze- could you message me with where you managed to find the app?
thx!

You need to download addition the browser on a PC

how do i upgrade to Google maps 4.1?

Hi Folks,
Have seen reviews recommending updating asap to 4.1 but how do you do it? i cant find Google maps in the market place..
Is there an option in the pre installed app to look for updates? Checked version info and it says 4.0
Cheers,
Mick
go to market, then downloads and see what updates are available
i'm on 4.1.1 (#4156) gmm-android-htc
its not in my downloaded list though as it was on the phone when i got it..
It was at the top of the popular free apps for me saying update available, along with the facebook app.
Easiest way is to search Google Inc on the market the inc makes all the diff, picking out googles specific applications first before broadening the terms.
Cheers,

Via the market just download and it will update
nope.. when i search for Google inc.. the first app back is Google Sky Map.. but no sign of maps.. maybe its cause i'm in south or ireland or something? i cant find beebplayer either.. but i assume thats due to location also?

You in Ireland or the UK?
I am in Ireland and I see no update to Maps available. And a search for google inc just show sup sky map. no maps. I think the Irish market app is different. (crap)
If you're in Ireland why don't you install the BRUT version? Gives you the same features and also Nav!

Will this work on the Desire? Also, as I understand the reason we don't have navigation in the UK version is because of some copyright/legal issues - If we install this will the Navigation actually work?
Thanks.

You have to install something else as well, but the speech doesn't work as yet on it. Didn't for me anyhow.
Make sure you have 2.1 Android otherwise Maps 4.1 won't work anyhow.
Doesn't matter now as it's out officially in version 4.1.1.

Google Maps not there

Ok so I got my phone for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it but I found something a little weird.
First thing I noticed is that i had Maps v4.0.0 installed and I thought all Desire's come with the latest 4.1.1.
I said no problem, I'll just go to the market and get it from there, but I realized that searching for Google Maps didn't find it, I found Sky Map, Map Editor and other stuff from Google and other but no Maps, nowhere.
Why is that? Is the android market localized by where you are? And if so, isn't Maps supposed to be available everywhere?
Because of the older version I don't even have the Maps Live Wallpaper that I saw in so many reviews.
Then I went online and download it manually and installed it (and I even got the Live Wallpaper), but because of this it doesn't show in my "Downloads" tab in Market and there's no way for it to notify me if there is an update.
Even on Goole Maps for mobile homepage it says "Tap Maps on the home screen. Search for "Google Maps" in Android Market to update."
1. Why don't I have it in Market?
2. How can I get it to notify for an update?
Looks like a localisation issue, when I updated Google maps I just did it from the downloads tab in Market.
If it is a localization issue, is there a way to change it?

[Q] Apps not showing in app market

I have DHD rooted with the latest update installed fine (Thanks to the xda forums for helping out on that)
I have noticed some apps do not appear for me in the market, even when surfing to their url from the official site (or using their QR code). These apps include the Google Maps app, Nook, Google Buzz widget, Google Shopper, etc.
Is the market blocking these apps for me because of my current location (Israel)? Or is it the cell carrier I am using (Orange il)? Or maybe the language of my phone (English (Spain))?
Will an update to the most recent RUU solve it (And give me some more generic English language)? Or do I have to just hunt around for apk for these apps, and install them manually?

it's most probably because they are not available in your area, you could use market enabler to mock a diffrent carrier, if you are rooted, try a uk carrier, because all thoes apps are availiable im my area
Thanks - it was just what I needed (and was hoping to hear).

"This app cannot be installed in your devices country" HELP!

I've found three apps that I want so far that will NOT install on my HTC One x because it's not a USA one x. These games are for USA only, and even though I live in the USA I can't install them because I have an unlocked HTC One x. Anyway around this besides rooting/flashing roms? I might have to sell the phone and wait for the AT&T version if I can't get around this.
which apps?
no such thing with my HOX.
The only thing that prevents from installing apps is your internet connection.
I live in brazil and while i was in the us i could install all the us apps i wanted.
Now im back to brazil and i can only install br apps.
Doesnt matter where your phone is from.
Maybe you are using a proxy or something?

Pogo for example.
It won't show up in the play store when I search on my phone, then when I search on market.android.com, it says the app is not compatible with my one x.
sorry to be a dummy, but when i go to the playstore, there seem to be several pogo possibilities. can you be more specific? i am in the u.s. with an international one x and can try to download to see if the same problem crops up.

pogo games by EA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lYS5nYW1lLnBvZ29nYW1lcyJd
the only way I could access the pogo package was by doing a Google search. It did not appear in play store on my one x. Then when I had properly logged in to my account and tried to install, there was a pop-up saying device compatibility was not confirmed. So no joy. However, when going to the play store on my one x, I was able to download Tetris without any difficulty. You may have to download the games individually. BTW I am on AT&T prepaid. Don't know if being with another phone company would change things.
Try market enabler to spoof your location.
Works for me with FotMob in the UK which will not usually allow me to see the fixture list.
i thought i would do an update on this issue. i have an unrooted phone, so market enabler is not good for me - especially since i am a long way from wanting to root. i was trying to download google voice from play store and of course it downloaded and then said it was not available for use, so i uninstalled it. then i went to dolphin browser and googled google voice, which then took me to play store and the app. i downloaded again. it worked. i assume dolphin acted as a filter of some kind pointing back to a u.s. site/user? i really don't know enough to know, but it did work, if anyone is interested.

even from apps manager from setting I can stop it from running but am unable to uninstall it
can any one who has faced this issue help me out ?

Google play store was not visible on my AL00 at first. I went to app gallery and it had an option to update it.(not recommended ) it said. After I updated it showed up on the phone.
Just update it on the app gallery all Google stuff are built in you only have to download google calendar sync

I had faced the same problem
I had the same problem in my Huawei Mate 20 Chinese Phone. Solved it by changing the language to Chinese through App Gallery and thereafter searching for and installing Google Play. It really worked fine.

How were you able to do the search in the App Gallery if the language was Chinese?
mate 20x 8gb, 256gb evr-l00
I have the evr-l00...
followed this instruction, changed the app gallery to china (region), even if the whole thing is in chinese, type in "Google Play" in the search box on the top of the page, hit enter, and there came Google Play Store.
Installed it... removed most of the chinese apps, installed all useful google apps, and that's it, viola!
still working perfectly up to now.
my only gripe with the chinese version (when used elsewhere, except china)... is that u will not be able to fully configure the mobile data limits as the 'region' and 'network providers' are all in chinese, for China-based networks.
