How come, that Google Keyboard is hidden in Google Play from me?
I have three devices, a Nexus 5, a Nexus 7, and an older HTC One S with CM11. All of these are using Google Keyboard.
But searching for Google Keyboard in Play Store nothing shows up. Therefore updates for the keyboard is not showing up either.
I have a work around for this though. Start up an web browser on the phone, search Google for Google Keybard, click the first result, and Play Store starts up showing Google Keyboard - it's there. And if any updates are available, I can install these too without problems.
But why do I have to go through a web browser to access (and update) Google Keyboard on my devices? Why doesn't the Google Keyboard show up when searching in Play Store?
I'm living in Denmark, is this the issue due to regional restrictions? I know of other of my friends, who I have showed the trick of going through the web to update the Keyboard.
Did you figure out how to fix the issue? I have exactly the same problem and its so annoying Live in Ukraine, so it seems region does not matter.
You can try downloading from APK Mirror, it works well.

Nope, still same issue, auric88.
Sure, BingoseasonsCP, you can also find it via Google search, as I state in the first post, but you don't get automatic updates..

Previously, when Google Play was still the Android Market, my device was rooted, but there were no issues in app compatibilities. But after Android Market was integrated to Google Play, I had compatibility issues on almost every popular app I searched, from Facebook to Youtube.
The only get around to this is to unroot my device, start all the way from the oldest version of Market and wait Google to OTA update the Market to Google Play.
Did Google implicate more restrictions around app accessbility in Google Play with rooted devices in and is it safe to root back again without going through this same issue?
No problems here. Some of my launcher icons broke and needed to be re-done, but nothing else.
Sudden massive app incompatibility usually happens when you screw around with DPI settings. Don't screw around with DPI settings.
Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?
Thank You
Someone?
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?

I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.
thanks.
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.

Try installing Google play apk
Tried couple of Play Store APK versions.
every version is crashing.
i've bought the same tablet and play store keeps crashing every time i install !!
can we get any support ?!
I'm gonna go ahead and bump this vs making a new thread. I'm still fairly new to mobile devices, but my intermediate knowledge of computers kinda helps me out. Still a long shot, considering this isn't a well known tablet.
Android 4.0.4
From the factory it comes with HCL's own craptastic market app (Almost expect that from a cheap India brand knock off of the iPad), which has a horrible layout, always freezes up, and doesn't have any useful/common apps. While the tablet itself has with most of the default google stuff removed from it. Including Google Play Services.
I installed both the Play Store, and the Play services manually with no errors. But when it comes to running the store, it'll run fine for about a second, then a system message will come up saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." BUT I can see the app giving me the terms of service prompt in the background, AFTER that error message pops up. After acknowledging the error, it force closes the store, so I'm presuming HCL hardcoded something in to block google's app store.
I've taken the well known solution to this of installing 1Mobile Market, but I just don't trust it (So many cloned apps...) and I can't get to my purchased apps.
Any ideas? I have a very rough idea of what I'm doing when it comes to roms, I've successfully installed a custom one to an old Samsung Infuse before.
Hello!
I currently live in Beijing and just recently purchased a ZTE U795. It's a formidable phone, and quite cheap too.
I've gotten everything to work well, found a ROM on some Chinese site and managed to install it. The only problem is that I can't get the market to work, or Google Play for that matter. I thought perhaps that through a VPN I could manage to connect but VPN doesn't work.
Really I have two questions, is there a replacement to the built-in VPN system, is there some sort of app that can replace the default VPN system?
Or, is there some sort of work around to not being able to use Google Play on Chinese Androids?
What I've tried:
Modded Market
Market Enabler
Google Play + Google Frameworks + Google Account Settings (This got me the closest, I started putting my e-mail in, but it just wouldn't connect)
Market
What happens when I open Play Store:
Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped.
Apart from that, if anybody is interested about the phone, don't hesitate to ask!
I just received mine, and got 2 major issues :
- cannot open Youtube, gmail etc... cause Google Play services needs to be updated... And when I'm trying to update them, play store crash.
I've try to remove play store update, factory reset the tablet, but no solution
Look this video that show the problem
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ki7d2u891pa2p0n/cube.mp4?dl=0
- when the keyboard is plugged, and when the screen is locked, the tablet constantly wakeup... I don't have this issue with keyboard removed
Thanks for your help !
Solved the issue by updating manually the Play store and update manually the google play services (installed 10.0.84 (230-137749526) )
Only the screen lock with keyboard issue is rest
Another update, the play store crash everytime.. I've reset the app preferences, delete put again my google account etc...
Any imporvments =(
any idea ?
