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.

"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.

[Q] Is there any way to Crack Amazons appstore ?

I live in Brasil, and my 1-click settings at the amazon.com site is using a Brasilian international credit card, so as my brasilian address.
Since i am using my real information, i can't manage to use the Amazons app store at my Kindle fire and on my Xperia Arc.
I've already tried the whole thing if creating a new account, with fake data fetched from fakenamegenerator.com but it does not worked aswell.
Is there any way i can "crack" my appstore app so that it does not check for amazon.com feedback about my account country, or is this impossible ?
I really want to start using the app store from Brasil, let me know if there is anything i can do.
Thanks !

Why don't you try Google Play Store? That way it's easy to manage your apps in both devices.

I do use the play store but:
1. Not all the apps are tagged as compatible to my Kindle fire, forcing me to download the APK from the market and push it into the kindle manually
2. Amazon appstore have some free apps daily or weekly, which the play store does not have.

Are you rooted?
I know you can modify your build.prop to mask as another device to improve app compatibility. I've read that most apps that are said to be incompatible are not.

Yes i am rooted, and changing the build.prop file properties, sometimes help, sometimes dont.
But this is not the thread's question.
I would like to access the amazon app store, from Brasil.
1. Yes, i've tried proxies
2. Yes, i've tried fakenamegenerator.com
Edit: This is a new method, but it also failed to work for me :
http://spimitech.com/guides/access-amazon-apps-market-from-outside-the-us/
I've set the new card, billing adress using a hotel on international drive, and set the new payment method as 1-click.
App still saying that i don't have a US billing Address or Credit Card
None of those worked for me

[Q] Google Wallet & Play Store

Could anyone please explain why the google wallet is now on the play store but from what I have a CDMA Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not allowed to download but other phones are?
I also know that you can get an APK for google wallet and install it just the same but im curious as to google's reasoning behind why we can actually download it off the store.

Use Chrome to Phone, visit the Google Wallet page in the Play store on your computer and send the link to your phone. Open the link you sent with market and install it. You can then update the app (or should be able to) via the market when there are updates.
As for why you can't directly install it on your phone, talk to Verizon. I'd guess it has to due with Google Wallet competing with their mobile payment initiative, ISIS or whatever it is called.

Thanks for the work around but it doesn't let me saying it isn't available by my carrier or country.

Because Verizon is being dickheaded (and also violating the terms of their Auction 73 spectrum acquisition), and Google isn't telling them to shove it.

How I got it working
So I was messing around with my Galaxy Nexus and my buddy who has AT&T added his account to my phone. He then went into the Play store, searched for and installed Google Wallet. With his account still on the device, I registered for Wallet and afterward, removed his account. Haven't had the chance to test if it works in a real setting but I will tomorrow with my morning coffee.
There wasn't any need to install an apk from some random source, it was straight from the play store on the phone. The only drawback is that it doesn't show up under my apps.
Could someone else verify this works for them?

because a factory reset will work............it sounds like since the new update maps is NOT available for you for some reason....probably a change in the build.prop what rom are you using??? try a different rom and see if it shows up...also clear the data+cache on play store

I found it!
It does not appear under my apps section.
its under the installed apps.
thanks guys!
