Google Play not updating

[robertr3d]

Hi all,

I'm from Italy and I have the same problem for updating Google Play ( and before Youtube Client).

I've noticed that today something has been changed because now the message "Updating of google play for google tv unsuccessfull" is shown while before nothing was shown.

I'll try the chrome extension for downloading the apk.

However, my revue version is the last official ( build b61925 ).

I have an idea that this problem happens with people who ever used Beta Honeycomb on their Revues...

Possible I guess.
I had the 1st leak loaded only and also side-loaded the update IIRC

I've noticed, that my Revue has /system partition mounted RO. That is very strange. This is the partition, where stock apps are located.
I wonder whether people who successfully updated their Markets also have the same...

How can I check that (sorry I am not an expert :p) ?

I successfully updated market and always run the official Revue updates only

/system on Android is always RO. User installed apps and updates to /system apps should got to /data/app.

I'm guessing the users who manually updated through the leaks and what-not (I'm one of those) have different signing keys than the actual pushed out OTA, preventing the /system apps to be updated with the different signature the Market versions have....

On android phones, the typical way to correct this is to have root, mount /system/app as RW and remove the offending app and then uninstall its package. Then either copy the new app to /system/app and set its permissions properly and reboot or just install the app as a user app. The other typical way is for someone to create a flashable .zip file (for use in an alternate recovery to allow flashing of unsigned .zip files) that removes the stock app and replaces it with the new app.

Since we don't have root or an alternate recovery.....it doesn't look good for a method to fix this.

I suspected the same once I saw that some people were able to update and others weren't. Are the build #'s the same?? I suspect Google will fix this eventually, but I ask about the build numbers in case it takes too long and I decide to create and RMA with Logitech. I was on the Honeycomb beta and sideloaded all the updates; Build number: KA2X-20111123.091818.user-b61925

Also, I've been emailing the Google Play Support Team back and forth about this, haven't made any progress.. only received generic responses so far like, "On devices, it will take a few days for the Android Market app to update to the Google Play Store app - please be patient!" . Logitech is useless, all they told me is that I need to discuss this with Google since its their app, so I wouldn't suggest hassling Logitech support about it.

I know this has nothing to do with GTV, but the Google Play hasn't updated to my HTC EVO 4G or Samsung Galaxy Tab yet, i have tried everything, but no update to the new version as of yet. So it is not just the GTV's that have this problem..

No update shows up on your phone or tablet? or the installation just flat out fails? I sideloaded the new play store on my phone & tablet just fine ... it can technically "take up to 3 weeks" for the update to appear on your device by itself; my problem isn't getting the update on the Revue, its installing the update, and because it won't install, I can't even use the market anymore (unless I go through play.google.com/store)

I think you're right. I looked at logcat as the Market tried to update itself....gave an error about not signed correctly. Logitech has said they are working on a fix on the official forum.....how long does it take to make a small zip with new APKs with the new key?!?!?
