[SOLVED] Play Store New Feature? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys...I'm from the GT-I9100G forum......I'm running the latest cm9 on my phone...
Ok, back to my topic...When updating apps, it only downloads for a few percent as shown in Play Store...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But in my notifications drawer, it fills up very fast and the update is completed in a short while...faster then expected...but my apps still get updated magically!
It has been like this for many times...tried searching butI don't know what to search for...lol...so anyone else aware about this? My hypothesis is that Play Store only downloads the necessary files to 'patch' the existing apks...Is this possible?

Yes, you are right, actually. The Play Store now only downloads new content for each app, instead of downloading the entire app over again. Makes sense, especially for larger apps, like Death Rally, which is a 50MB initial download. VERY useful update for people who spend a lot of time on their mobile networks (not everybody has 4G or 4G LTE service available, or phones with those capabilities).
I noticed this behavior on my phone, and coincidentally read it online the next day on a random news post.

Wow...great feature......still remember the title of the news?kinda interested...

Help from UK users

Trying to install beebplyer but can't find it on the market, previously installed & uninstalled it, so not sure why I can't find it anymore. Can anyone please check if it's just me or whether it's now off the market? Thanks.
I read somewhere that its been pulled for the time being.
Something about a 'proper' version coming out soon.
You best bet would be to try to find the APK from somewhere else online...
damn, was looking forward to having it for the world cup.
why would they pull it before a proper one is here? just sounds like aunt beeb wasn't best pleased with it

You can still download it using the barcode scanner. I just installed it, and the quality from the video is quite poor.
I'm not surprised it got discontinued. Worth using as a last RESORT
thanks, installing now! it is a last resort...
not sure if this is any good mate as I aint tried it yet:
http://www.skynetsoftware.com/myPlayer/index.aspx?platform=Android
PS - England are currently sucking bigtime in teh world cup
thanks, hopefully I'll still need it after the group stage!
try yamgo.mobi, its way more reliable than apps.
Yes beebplayer has been pulled from the market, although there is another app called myplayer, as zoomee has already stated.
That said, I don't think those apps are as good as just going to m.tvcatchup.com
You can watch a lot of freeview channels. It requires registration, but that's free, and just a 1 time thing. Try that out.

Facade is a simple app that brings your social circles together under one platform!

WHY I NEED IT?
How many times your find yourself in a situation when you need to post same status update 4 times? or upload same picture 4 times? One for Facebook/ One for Twitter/ One for Sina Weibo (for Chinese users) / One for LinkedIn (Business related)
Sooner or later, two possible outcomes:
1. You spend your day updating your social life and the fun thing becomes painful
2. You give up one circle. say, twitter. And your high school friends on twitter complains.
With Facade, you can manage all your social status update with a simple click of button. You can simple tap on the icons to choose this message goes to which network (facebook/twitter update, or everything update).
You can also, pull all statuses update from all social circles into one place and view them, like them, retweet them or comment them.
Facade DOES NOT requires you install those apps like others do.
Facade DOES NOT separate your social updates like others do.

Public beta in play store is up! Welcome any feedbacks!

If it's not on the web store (play.google.com/store) it will have been deleted, you will need to find the apk, we however cannot post it here because posting a paid app is against the rules. (not sure about posting a deleted paid app but I want to be safe)
Google manga watcher and go to the website. You'll see why it got pulled and the link to the apk posted by the dev.

You can update it from the web site if you really want it and you can see why Google removed it

Save to google in Android L. Did it return back?

Hi,
On my old Samsung Ace Plus phone running an older Android version v2.x, I used to read/save contacts directly to google (shown below in picture) because I simply don't wanna save on phone or sim card. For some reason, I didn't find this option on my LG G2 international version thinking that this feature have been removed for some reason from KK4.4.2 which I'm running so I missed it a lot but there was nothing to do about it since I didn't find it also on e.g. Samsung S4 running KK which kinda confirmed to me that it's a KK thing and not mobile dependent.
Is there any one who have seen this feature back on Android L which I'm waiting for, officially, in early 2015?

it's not persistent! I tried it millions of times before but for some mysterious reason, I have to go through the whole boring process of choosing where to save my contact every time I create a new contact!
Tried this?

When you create a contact in AOSP 4.4.x it will state "Phone" (local phone account, unsynced) and "Google" as destinations for saving contacts.

OK Google voice detection/always listening

I am positively shocked this is not a larger issue. With the removal of the always listening options for Google Now this devices overall appeal has been greatly limited based kmy needs.
Does anyone in the community know why these features were removed or have any idea on if/when they will return?
with the newest version it's there if you put the widget on homescreen

I have everything up to date including google play services and have placed the widget on the home screen but am still only seeing 1 option. Which is to allow "OK Google" from the app.

That's not the same thing at all. For starters it takes a whole row of icons. Also it will only work when you are on that specific screen. It won't work if you have an app open and most importantly it doesn't work when the screen is off.
This certainly isn't a hardware limitation, but I think Samsung did this to get users to try the new (and greatly improved s voice). I bet their plan is to bring back Google always on detection in a later update after many people try out s voice.
Anyways in the meantime check out s voice, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know..but all Samsung phones even nexus had have problems with that actual
