Unable to update Google Maps - Galaxy S II General

Since my market application was updated to the new "windows phone metro style" market, I am unable to update Google Maps application.
I keep getting the message that "a new update is available for "[email protected]"" and when I tap on it, I see that there is an update for Google Maps application. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed to the update because the market says that my device is incompatible with the application. Of course this is not possible, because I already have it. See the attached pictures for yourself.
How can I fix that? Any ideas?
Thanks!

If your device is rooted just install market enabler from market,change provider settings and then try again.It worked for me...

My device is not rooted and I do not wish to root it.
This problem shouldn't have occurred. It doesn't make sense to me...
How does the market say that the application is not compatible, while I already have it?

This may help:

Regards.

I know, I also have this problem on some apps...Maybe it is a bug from updated market.Try uninstalling market updates to revert to the old version,that worked sometimes too...

Thanks for your replies. I still can't find a way to fix it.
The odd thing is that on market.android.com the application looks compatible and I can even push it to install. It doesn't seem to do anything on the device, though...

That will probably work...
With the old version of market, I would hold tap the update and another menu would appear on which I have been selecting "Update". This menu does not appear within the new market...

Download the update from here, and it should give Market a kick up the backside, and hopefully sort it:

Just had a thought, try clearing your market data in Settings- Applications-Manage-All.

I had a same problem with the desktop version of android market, it wouldnt do anything because my phone wasnt "connected" to it. All i did was clear cookies and it recognized my device back. Try that

We, Greeks, cannot install Google Maps and Google Earth. Don't know why. Just find the .apk (latest Google Maps is 6.0.0).

That worked like a charm. No more updates are available now, through the market

You can click thanks of course.

Update GoogleMaps

Just wondering what happens if I update GoogleMaps. Do the originel rom files get overwriten or does it work in any other way? Hopefully someone already did an attempt?
i upgraded to version 3.0.1.6 from the existing ROM.. works well.. Is this version the latest? have'nt checked lately.
Downloading the CAB, extracting the content with WinCE CAB Manager and overwriting the exsiting ones in your Rhodium should do the job!
So it won't result in less memory? The original files will be overwritten?
If you're replacing the files in "Program Files\GoogleMaps" you won't loose any space but you're not gaining any additional space, too! Only an updated Googlemaps app is what you can get!
By the way: you can delete any non-used language dll, too!
there seems to be gmaps 3.2, rhodium's zoom works in it. And there is also layers added.
Just downloaded & installed Google Map 3.2.0 and it's super accurate and super fast!
Highly recommend everyone to upgrade.
where are you downloading from? I can only find older versions at m.google.co.uk/maps

Thank you for this, i tried the M.google.
com/maps link and it kept saying there is no version for my device
I thought GoogleMaps for WinMO does NOT include navigation like Live Search does. Am I wrong?
google maps
updating maps will over write old version but won't change at ROM level, meaning if you hard reset the old maps will come back.
when I go to the link on google that takes me to m.google.com/maps it gives me '404 error'. Anyone else seeing this? Does someone have the most recent maps .cab they can post here?

The Google Android Phone without Google Services makes me feel been F**Ked
I think the russian 2.1 firmware includes chinese. If installing the apk's fail you could try flashing that. Don't forget to backup your build.prop just in case you want to go back in the future.

How flash to other firmware, as i am already 2.1?
You can flash back to 1.6-there is a thread about it in x8 android development
Then change your customization code and then use seus or pc companion to update..

If the OP will install the apk from outside Market, he will have to go to Setting, Application, and check the Unknown Sources.

Market fix for Insufficient Space Error

When trying to download apps off the android market i got the error "Insufficient Space" even thought i had over 250mb internal and 3GB external.
I have tried all the guides to get this working, from force closing market and clearing data/cache etc to using the adb command method to move it to SD Card but nothing worked.
I came accross a FREE app on the android market. I simply installed and ran the app and pressed the button. Then tried the market again and it fixed the error!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP
I did not create this app, i simply want to share it with others because i know it was a complete pain. Make sure you give the app good feedback in the market.
I get that error a lot... Will try the app
Sent from my Xperia Play
let me know how it goes. i literally tried everything and it is soo much hassle.
If you cant even download this app let me know and i will put the APK on dropbox for you.
Its so simple. press one button and a second later you can download any apps from the market.
Worked on Desire with MIUI.us 2.3.2
The irony! Got the error whilst trying to download this app. I'm unrooted anyways though
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Thanks. But requires ROOT access.

Thanks for posting this... I had to wipe and reflash CM7 several time over the last week because this kept happening to me. I think this fixed it. YAY!!!!!
easier way: clear cache in clockworkmod, you cache is full and so the app cannot be downloaded to the cache...
Great thanks !!
wow thanks dude.
this is very helpful, and it WORKS. GREAT JOB !!
Doesn't work!
Is there something similar for non-root access?
App cache cleaner used to work for me

I am un-rooted on 2.3.3 and I get around this by uninstalling updates on the Google Play Store App [defaults back to the original store with the green icon]. The App will automatically update again over time to the modern Play Store, but you can just repeat the process when you want to update something.
it solved my problem. thank you very much

I need to use the older version of Gmail

Hi,
for compatibility with other applications on the tablet I need to use the older version of Gmail.
I know where to download it.
But I do not know how to do it automatically has not updated to the latest version of Google Play.
The application can somehow separate from Google Play?

Yes you can sever the app from the Play Store by re-signing the app. I can do for you but, which version of Gmail do you want it done to?

You don't need to "re-sign" anything.
Download the apk from apkmirror. Uninstall Gmail, or if it's a system app go to settings- apps- Gmail and uninstall updates to replace with factory version your phone came with. Install Gmail version you downloaded. Immediately go into play store for Gmail, click 3 dots at top right and uncheck the box to auto update.
If anyone modifies an apk and gives it to you, I would not trust it. Could have a backdoor or keylogger or something.

Thanks for providing an alternative.
Though, I never stated that resigning it was the only way. I only knew that way and thought it was a simplistic way of doing it.
Now I know of another way.
