hi all
Since this morning i have noticed that all of a sudden quite a lot of apps are no longer able to be downloaded from the marketplace... it just says for apps like Facebook and Google Maps, "This app is incompatible with your 3 Samsung GT-I9100."
Is this a carrier issue? or an Android Marketplace issue?
It's the same whichever ROM i am using at the moment... it was fine yesterday but since then... a no-go.
I have tried using market enabler... nothing...
Downloading from Laptop (via Marketplace in browser) .... same problem...
Any ideas?
I'm getting this with some apps to.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in to me today. I apologize if you're having some download issues with Android Market today. I don't know of any specific issues that may be causing the problems you may be having. Let's do the following troubleshooting steps to fix it:
- Cancel and restart the download(s)
- Reboot your device
- Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear your Market cache and data (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All tab > Market > Clear cache and Clear data)
- Ensure there is at least 20MB of free space on your device
- Try your download(s) using both WiFi and network (3G/4G) connections
- Try to initiate your download from the Web (market.android.com) instead of the device
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
- Uninstall Market updates by visiting:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications> All tab > Market > Uninstall updates
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful.
Best regards,
Jim

I can download some apps fine... But all of a sudden a vast number are suddenly not compatible with my device... I.e. Facebook and google maps. It also states it is incompatible when attempting to download from my desktop.
These apps were compatible yesterday but now they are not.
Nothing has changed on my device
Can you help?
Thanks

Hello again,
Thanks for writing back. I don't see any reason why those apps would now be showing up as incompatible on your Galaxy. Is this a new Galaxy device for you? I see it being registered with your account today for the first time, but no previous entries for a Galaxy S II device on your [email protected] account. The last device on your account I see before the Galaxy is an HTC HD2.
You mentioned you performed a factory data reset before this issue starting occurring. It's possible something didn't go quite right with that. I recommend you perform a factory reset one more time on your device if possible. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state. While your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled.
Before the factory reset, make sure that your contacts are synced to your Google account by logging into Gmail from a computer and verifying if your contacts appear there. If your contacts are not synced, then I recommend updating your sync settings at Settings > Accounts and Sync and choosing either AutoSync or touching the account you would like to sync and choosing "Sync Contacts."
Along with syncing contacts, please back up any important application data and/or settings by navigating to Settings > Privacy and selecting "Back up my data'"and "Automatic restore."
To perform a factory reset:
1) Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy (or Phone storage; depends on the device)
2) Press "Factory data reset"
3) Press "Reset phone" (or "Reset tablet")
After you perform the factory reset, make sure you sign into your device with the same primary Google Account you were using before. If this doesn't resolve the issue, please let me know so I can continue to investigate. Have a great day!
Regards,
Jim

I have used the market yesterday fine with my galaxy s 2 have had for a few months.. I will try again though

Hi, did you ever fix this? My phone is in the same state. No Facebook, no Google maps, and most other apps wont install - "This app is incompatible with your 3 Samsung GT-I9100."
I had the same problem, but my problem was due to changed DPI settings in my SGS2.
I had it on 222 and 225 but Market did not work, put back 240 on DPI and it works.
Market doesn't like multi DPI it seems :-(
Thank you - that's exactly what it was. When I set it back to 240 I had 34 market updates available. Probably is why a change of DPI is not practical on the SGS2.
Thank you again
Use old market and everything works fine

Every time I change the DPI using root explorer It gets back to original 230
any idea??
I need to change it coz half of my apps aren't working because of this issue I believe
n I tried the umount SD thing it didn't work for me
My rom is the Resurrection Remix ics Rom v9.1 Ultimate XXLB 4.0.3 Full-Wipe
n I tell ya it's coooooooooooool except for this bug

Isnt the default dpi 240??
Anyways... I didnt use the root explorer method... I just use this...
ROM Toolbox Lite from Google Play
Performance>build.prop Tweaks> LCD Density
Apparently, the above mentioned solution didnt help me either... I would just change back to default dpi... Wait a while... Update my apps... Then change it back... Troublesome... But its worth it i guess... FYI, im on foxhound ROM and i set my dpi at 182...
Hi All,
First time poster so please be gentle -- I did search for this issue on google and within the forums first.
This is the first smartphone I've ever purchased.
My Inc2 is non rooted and non modded.
It has been working w/o issue since I bought it about 6 weeks ago until this weekend when it would no longer install updates or new apps from either the Google Android or Amazon Android markets.
Note that in both markets the app or update downloads w/o issue -- the problem happens when it attempts into install what was downloaded.
The status bar at the top reads "Installation of app X unsuccessful"
Downloads/Updates from the Google Android market result in an error message within the notification bar. Clicking on it opens a dialog box with Installation error "Unknown reason -110"
When downloading/updating from the Amazon Android market the error is less specific, I click Install, the standard screen opens confirming I want to install the app explaining what it will need access to. I click the Install button at the bottom of the page which results in "Application not installed".
Note that this happens with all app downloads or updates.
The steps I have taken so far:
1) restarting the phone
2) clearing cache/data from Applications/Android Market application (and restarting again)
3) clicking on button to remove all updates to Android Market application (and restarting again) --
Interestingly the version listed under the Market app is 2.3.4 even though it has reverted to an earlier version -- it looks very different.
On a side note: since this did not fix the problem, how do I get the newest Market version again?
4) unmounted SD card (and restarting again) -- since this did not fix the issue, I remounted the SD card
5) Used file manager to navigate to directory Download and look for files named: XX.apk, where XX is 1 to 20. -- but did not find any such files.
6) Per HTC support:
First, open the phone dialer and enter in *#*#checkin#*#* [*#*#2432546#*#*]. The number will disappear and your should see a notification of either Checkin Succeeded or Checkin Failed. If it succeeded, then new updates should be detected for your device and the application.
I received "checkin succeeded" notification
[Can someone explain to me what entering the combination above does --
what is the phone checking in with?]
Next, try moving any applications you have on the SD card to your phone's internal memory. This can be done by going to: Home> Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> On SD. Tap each program and then tap Move to Phone. Once this is done, check for updates again.
I received "Failed to move application" notification for each application on my
SD card that I attempted to move to Internal Memory
Finally, I recommend clearing the data from the Google Services Framework applications. In the Manage Applications Screen, go to: All> Google Services Framework and then tap Clear data. Check for updates once again.
Followed the direction above but have not received any updates by navigating
to Settings/Software update and clicking Check new.
For whatever it is worth clicking Status shows that my last update has name
HTC_ADR6350_LargeUpdate_3.02.605.1 with Status of Update Successful,
code of 200, date of 09/19/11 and time of 07:55PM.
7) A (perhaps) related development is that as of tonight, my Inc2 is no longer listed as one of my devices in the Google Android Market when I navigate the web page on my computer. Anyone know how to get this resolved?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.

Try clearing data in apps settings and reboot. How many apps are installed? When was the last time you deleted all your messaging threads and call logs?

Joshua,
Can you advise on the click path to accomplish the "clearing data in apps settings" process.
When I click Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, I just see my apps listed.
I do not use sms or text messages but I have never deleted all my messaging threads and call logs (again, I've had the phone about 6 weeks) -- I will do a quick search on the forum to learn how to take those steps.
Thanks for your help.

You're in the right place, just click on market and choose clear data. Wiping messaging and call logs, just go into the app and hit menu.

When I navigate to the Market App the "Clear data" button is grayed out.
Accessing the Phone app allows me to Clear data and I did -- can you help me with "hit menu" reference you made?
Also, I'm not sure what is normal but when I go into the Market Updater app, all the buttons are grayed out.
Thanks again.

Not the market updater app, the market app. They are different apps. It should be under the ALL APPS tab in applications settings.
"Hit menu" refers to the physical (or capacitive) menu button on the phone itself.
So you used the phone app to clear the call logs? Go to call logs and press the menu button on the phone.
Understood on the market updater app being separate from the market app -- just wanted to post an observation about the market updater as I wondered if maybe that wasn't the way it was supposed to look (all buttons grayed out).
I went to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, selected the All tab, scrolled to the Phone app and clicked the Clear data button.
Upon doing so I received a Change Mode message that a SIM card was detected and the device was switching to global mode.
Do I want to stay in global mode if I only need CDMA?
Then navigated to Settings/Call -- but I was unable to find mention of call logs and pressing the physical menu button did not bring up anything.
Sorry if I'm being dense.
Not sure if this is related to any of the steps you have recommended but my Incredible 2 is now listed again in the Google Android market when I browse to it via my computer. I'll take any good news.
Thanks

Nope, go into your call log and press menu. Open the phone app as if you're going to make a call, go to your call history, hit menu and delete all.
When you were in the all tab, that's where you clear data for market.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Thanks for the additional explanation -- totally makes sense now -- Call history is now empty.
Have done the same for messages.
Now rebooting the phone...
Tested downloading an app and unfortunately got the same -110 error.
Do you have any ideas regarding these questions I posted above?
Interestingly the version listed under the Market app is 2.3.4 even though it has reverted to an earlier version -- it looks very different.
On a side note: since this did not fix the problem, how do I get the newest Market version again?
... enter in *#*#checkin#*#* [*#*#2432546#*#*]. The number will disappear and your should see a notification of either Checkin Succeeded or Checkin Failed. If it succeeded, then new updates should be detected for your device and the application.
I received "checkin succeeded" notification
Can someone explain to me what entering the combination above does --
what is the phone checking in with?
If I will only be using my phone in the United States -- is it better to leave from phone in World or CDMA mode?
Thanks again.
cdma mode only
Can anyone help with these three still unresolved issues?
1)
Downloads/Updates from the Google Android market result in an error message within the notification bar. Clicking on it opens a dialog box with Installation error "Unknown reason -110"

3) clicking on button to remove all updates to Android Market application (and restarting again) --

Android customer support indicated that they had received multiple reports of this issue but did not have a fix yet.
Worked with HTC support and ended up having to do a factory reset which fixed the problem.

One of the apps listed here is the problem, try to disable one by one until the problem is fixed.

If you are running on marshmallow(6.*) Ignore that, first restart the phone on safe mode and then do what this member said(i had the same problem before nougat) or just give the app permissions while you are in safe mode.
Thanks for the reply.
I appear to be a bit different. 3dot menu has show system, sort by size and Reset app preferences.
Gear menu has Draw over apps. Unfortunately when I select Draw Over apps I find that all of the apps with the exception of a recently installed one are disabled.
My feeling is that I have had some time of File permissions SNFU that pretty much farked everything. At the moment I can not access files on a computer via usb and am not even able to read my SD directly from a computer.
Any suggestions on fixing hosed permissions or other would be extremely helpful.
Hi there,
I saw that a lots of people are having google rh-01 error after they did the ota update so i'm going to show you guys how to make it work again. This tutorial can also help for other problems related to google apps crashing for leeco mobile. Also this tutorial fix the problem of not being able to use the 3 home buttons under your screen since sometimes they got glitched because of play service crashes.
First of all you need to go in
System settings>App management > clear the cache for all the google app we going to delete by going in storage and delete all the google apps, such as :
Google play store
Google play service
Google account manager
Google service framework
And any other app that is crashing because of the 028s update, you can reinstall all of them through the play store after it is working again.
After having it done please reboot your phone and go in the Lestore app which is in chineese but dont worry i will try to show u in picture what to do.
1- Start Lestore app and follow everything i have said in the uploaded pictures of this post or if you have trouble you can do what this guy is doing, it's the same :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8VU270w99bA
[1bis - between the 3th and 4th picture you can add your google account by going in
System setting > Account > press Add account and press google.].
2- Now you should have everything working again, only one last thing remain , be sure that when you go in :
System setting > App management > Google play service > Permissions > Make sure everything is activated.
System setting> App management > Google play store > Permissions > Make sure everything is activated.
I hope this is going to help you if you guys have any further questions let me know.
Can you tell us how to delete or freeze chinese practices in 28S ROM?
What are the Chinese practices we need to be free?

What are the practices you talking about ?
If you are talking about the ads added in phone manager with the new release you can disable them by going in
System settings > Press on " Dual sim & mobile network" > press "data management" > press "connection control" > now disable wifi and mobile data for the phone manager app.
Or simply choose to download an app like adguard or adaway or any other similar app to block ads.
LeStore does not connect.
I was able to connect using a china VPN.
This guide is to meant to attempt to save valuable time and frustration from anyone who needs google's contact sync.
Please keep all discussions polite.
So I need google apps on a daily basis and i tried to set up google on the chinese ROM .
And of course there is no Google contacts app so you need to put it in yourself.
I have looked at several guides and threads from XDA and MIUI Forum but they didn't seem to touch the critical steps for getting the contacts to sync with google.
After 2 days of trying...literally.., i figured out how to set the contact sync up reliably, not "reboot it and it will work after the reboot" sorta result.
If the following steps don't work for you, please let me know...I have tried this on 2 MIX 3's and they all worked after first attempt.
1, Enable google play services in Settings app -> system apps -> google play services
2, Download the Google play store from Apk Mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...8-23-all-0-pr-224256688-android-apk-download/
and the google contacts sync adapter:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
And install them.
3, Open google play store, log in, and install Google contacts from the play store.
4, Give permissions to google contacts and contact sync adapter
*** Above steps are common to the threads i have read, and below are the key points ***
5, Enable on developer options by goto Settings->my phone(or something like that) -> full specs and tap MIUI version 7 times.
6, Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options , scroll to the very bottom (last item) and disable "MIUI optimizations". Will explain why in later steps.
7, Download an "app permission setting" app such as (but not limited to) this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fdd2hdd.AppPermissionInfo
8, Open the permission settings app and find Google contacts and Google contact sync adapter apps and grant all their required permission.
Once you are here you should notice that, the permission GUI opened from this permission app is different. The GUI here is more AOSP style, or vanilla android style, and this is what we need. The permission GUI from MIUI layer doesn't allow you to set this up.
******* End of the key steps************
9, Now if you go to settings->accounts->Google, you should see "contacts" in the sync options and it should work. If not, well, reboot lol, i think it should appear.
If this works for you, a "Thanks" button press is very much appreciated.

Chinese ROM doesn't have it installed so no need to uninstall it. Just run Google installer v3, set contacts permission and it works fine.

If I remember it does. That however may be the dev rom as I only set up the stock room once while I set up the dev rom multiple times. Dev rom install of contacts sync will fail.
Install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done - this has helped. Thank you!
not sure what the problem is, followed this guide to a T and still can't get contacts to show up in my google account to sync it. everything else like Gmail works no problem. i have every permission checked. i've uninstalled and reinstalled. i have the AOSP like sliders to turn things on after going to developer settings.
for some reason instead of contacts i get a people details sync but nothing for contacts will show up. so frustrating.
ok i wiped data and started from scratch and unfortunately same results. ****ing hell this never happened with original mi mix. i guess i'm stuck waiting for the 72 hours to be able to unlock unless anyone has other ideas.
EDIT - ------ FINALLY I got this working. the key is you have to downgrade the calendar sync app to 8.1 - it would not work with 9.0 for me for some reason. once i did this and followed the rest of your instructions it finally worked for me
Worked excellent in Mi 11 Pro! at 2022, I only wonder about what I'm losing by disbling the optimizations, but at the beginning it seems not a big deal... thanks!
