[Q] Google maps not updating to v7 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my previous Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2 (I can't remember the exact build), I had the new v7.x Google Maps. I had to get this replaced with another Galaxy S3 which has the current latest release build of 4.1.2, XXEMG4.
When I try to update Google Maps with Google Play, it's now only giving me version 6.14.4. I've tried uninstalling it, uninstalling the Play Store, clearing data from both apps, but I still end up with 6.14.4
If it's relevant, I have Play Store 4.3.11 and Play Services 3.2.25 (761454-36).
Is there any way to force the latest maps update through the Play store? I don't really want to install an APK directly, as it means I probably won't get the next release either.
Thanks.
Edit: My issue seems to have resolved itself with the recently released Maps update, which appeared in the Play store.

Well, i'm on 4.3 and the version from play store that i installed was v7, if you're not getting it automatically, and you're cleaning the Maps app cache, data and all and still don't get it, try installing the apk, it's not the latest version it's v7.0.0, so install it and try to update to version 7.1.0

The extracted apk is usually in Themes and Apps .

It seems they pulled the update for me as well. Not that I'm complaining. I hated The New maps

Same here, guess they have pulled the update for Galaxy S3. Guess it may have something to do with my (and of course others) complaints and feedbacks sent.

do u already have the update? play store still won't give me the v7.1.

Seems like the problem is not really a problem, they disabled updating to v7 for devices running Android 4.1.2. Happens on my other Samsung galaxy device too. This doesn't seem to be occurring for 4.2.2 and above.

The "rollout" delay is extremely slow to be accepted since the 16th of August that 7.1 was announced...
I am also betting on an update being pulled for some reason because I am getting all other recent Gapps updated from the Play store in the usual timely manner - 1 or 2 days post announcement maximum.
So, whoever got it at first got it, if uninstalled for any reason, will be stuck at 6.14.4 until.....
P.S: Samsung galaxy s2 here on stock JB 4.1.2
PS2: As for not updating if u install the apk, I can confirm that its not valid since I ve updated many gapps in the recent past that I couldnt wait for and got all the subsequent updates from Play on time. Latest example being Google+
That's why today, tired of digging an explanation in the Maps issue, I directly installed 7 from the XDA thread

Solved
My issue seems to have resolved itself with the recently released Maps update, which appeared in the Play store.

Same happened here. Seems that the 7.2 update resolved the unknown issue. It came 1-2 days later after its initial release as a Play store update, over the 7.1 version which was APK installed
So. case closed

[Q] Latest Version of Google Apps

What is the latest version of Google apps for the G Tablet? I am running Cyanogenmod 6.0.1-Beta4-Harmony and Froyo 2.2.1, both installed December 2010. I have gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip installed but have found some bugs in the Google Calendar app as well as some other minor bugs and would like to have the latest version of the Google apps on the tablet.
Related, or unrelated, I have problems with Market not wanting to download the latest version of Google Maps, version 6.1, I believe? The Market application tries to begin downloading the Maps app every time I start the Market app but never begins to do so successfully, much less, of course, finishes. Many other apps have been successfully updated while I have had this problem for the last three or so weeks.
Any ideas?

[Q] Many problems with google play market

Hi everybody
I have been reading this forum many times but no luck in finding the solution.
I have bought my self a POV Protab2XXl last week with Android 4.0
But since the market was updated to Google play i only have problems.
There are many apps i suddenly can not find anymore ( like facebook ) or some apps i try to install i get the message "your device isn't compatible with this item"
I have tried many things based on the forum. I have changed the density, but that one is set to 160 which is ok and other density does not help either.
Did clear cache and everything else you can do to remove old data, but without luck.
Yesterday i reflashed it to android 2.3 and updated to new market. all problem is gone.. What changed in 4.0 and the new google play that the market behaves like this ??
Anybody else having these issues?
I am having lots of problems with Google Play this morning. On the Web side I can not see my rooted Kindle Fire. On the KF side I cannot install any apps.
I just got off the phone with Google Tech support. His suggestion was to roll back to Market since people are having problems with rooted devices and Play.
Is anyone else experiencing problems with a rooted KF and the Google Play app store? Any suggestions?
EDIT: I unselected my KF under devices on the Play web site and then I was able to install an app from the KF. WTF?
My Google Play Store stopped working yesterday after the newest Asus Transformer Prime update. It worked before, now I'm getting lots of server errors & connection timeouts.
Same here, almost seems as if someone DoS the servers...
I do not think this is directly relevant to an update, more like an infrastructure problem at Google's servers

I'm also having FCs all the time when I start downloading an app since yesterday (ver. 3.5.15). If I clear data and cache in app preferences, I can start the play store again - but still not download possible. The app crashes also when I try to install an app from the web interface.
SOLVED for me:
- I moved com.android.vending.apk from data/app to system/app,
- booted into recovery,
- cleared cache and dalvik cache,
- booted and everything works now.

[Q] Update to Google Play 4.9 incompatible?

Yesterday Google Play (com.android.vending) stopped working. It consquently crashed everytime I loaded it.
I restarted the tablet and Google Play was completely gone. All dependent apps (Google+, Gmail, etc) and apps that rely on Google Play for billing either stop working or have issues. I cannot install any apps now that Google Play is gone.
I updated the tablet to the latest firmware (I had the original 4.3 on there from around the beginning of the year) now I just updated to 10.4.B.0.109 to see if that helped but it did not.
(My Samsung phone has successfully updated Google Play the other to a new version 4.9.13 with a significantly different look and feel so I expect Google has rolled out a big update that has broken my tablet)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Same as me , my google play version 4.9.13, everytime i tap the menu from left-top button, it will crash.

Thanks letting me know.
Have you restarted your tablet yet since Google Play updated? It was crashing for me and was when I rebooted hat it completely disappeared.
Actually, i try clear cache and restart, still same result.
And i did factory reset, because it is a development machine, but no luck.
So it may be bug of this version.
The model is LG L9 P760
Strange. Works perfectly on my end (Tablet Z, .230, KK).

I faced with this bug. You have to revert to 4.8.20 and then install 4.9.13 as ordinary apk, reboot and it will work as promised.

betas not showing up in Google Playstore

@oasisfeng, I have a problem. In my tablet I am running 2.4.1 beta 5 without any issues. In my phone also I was running the betas prior to the 2.4.1 update. After the update, betas are not showing up in Playstore in the phone. I have only one Google account which I am using in both devices.
What I have so far tried:
Clear cache and data from Playstore app.
Clear cache and data from Google Services Framework.
Removed the Google account and reinstalled the account.
Uninstalled Greenify and reinstalled.
Disabled Greenify in Xposed and enabled.
Opted out of betas (testing) and again opted in.
Multiple reboots in between.
Nothing is working. Any way out?
Incidentally, I am also not able to download the beta apks from your first post in the main thread. After downloading about 57 KB, it says downloaded and when I try to install, I get a parsing error. This happens on both my devices and has been happening right from the day I started using Greenify. Since I was getting the betas from the Playstore, I did not bring it to your notice before. Now I am stuck.
No beta release right now, 2.4.1 is the latest version.

Feel like a complete idiot now, lol
Thanks for the info, otherwise I would have spent atleast another day breaking my head over this!
Version 2.4.2 beta1showed up on Playstore and downloaded without issues. Thanks.

P7510 with Lollipop, having trouble finding a stable version of Google Play Services

So I'm using this ROM and everything works fairly well.
The issue is that apps like Gmail, Hangouts, Keep (all of which I got from the play store), etc say that I need to upgrade my Google Play Services for them to work. My GPS version is 7.8.87 and if I update it through the play store, it starts crashing repeatedly. I've tried a few different ones on APK mirror (granted I'm not exactly sure what version is the "correct" one) and none have worked.
Do I need to just figure out what version works for this ROM, or try a different GApps package? I'm a bit of a newb so sorry if I'm way off base.
I found it worthwhile to upgrade to 7.1 Nougat. Lollipop for me had got too sluggish even before the Google Play services problem. Gmail doesn't prompt me to update GPservices, but I don't know about Hangouts or Keep.
