[Q] device not compatible with certain apps in market [SOLVED]

I've seen that certain apps in the market say that my device is not compatible with the app. I didn't really think twice about it until today I saw that Google maps is one of those apps. This wasn't the case earlier today.
Has anyone else been having this problem?
What do you think the problem is?

Solved - Reason for issue was due to my changing the DPI for enhanced resolution

I'd like some sort of answer to that too, my phone says that maps is compatible, but Youtube isn't. I tried clearing market data and cache on the off chance that something was goofy there, but it didn't help. It even says "incompatible" when I go to the web version of the market from my computer, and won't let me install.

K, i figured out the problem. Its because i changed the DPI in my build.prop in order to get a better resolution. I guess the apps are compatible with the resolution that i set it to, so it just says that its not compatible with my device.

[Q] how are these ads in my notification tray happening??

So first of all I've never had this happen to any of my other android phones phones before but as soon as i got my bell galaxy nexus (gsm) I've been getting at least 2 of these ads( telling me I've won a prize) pop up in my notification bar. I have already done a factory reset and loaded different roms and I'm still getting them!! I also did malware checks and got nothing
any ideas?

I had something similar. It was the MP3 downloader V7. It contains 'AirPush'
There is an app on the market that searches for the AirPush component & reveals what Apps you have on your phone that uses it!
Please let us know what you find.

Had the same crap happen to me today, would like to know how to stop this crap.

You downloaded an app that uses this as their form of ads. Only way to stop it is to remove the app.

I've never had any ad notifications. It's something you downloaded.

Airpush detector or Addons detector from the market.

It's your own fault for downloading **** to your phone..

i downloaded the 'airpush detector' it found that the app 'easy mp3 downloader' was the problem!

Downloaded airpush and it does not find anything, I only got one stupid txt claiming I won something, if I get anymore I will dig deep into it, thanks for the suggestions.

Mine is the same mp3 download or whatever... pretty annoying.. My fix is to keep it frozen until you need to use it.

Or delete it and search for the GTunes apk because it does the same thing no airpush.

Remember to leave a 1 star and a negative comment in the market on those apps that use the air push ****!

Yea I had the same issue! So I uninstalled the youtube app then downloaded a older version I found here. The current version on the Market seems to be broken! Works great now. Here is the link!

No but the new YouTube update broke my voice actions. When I try and use it this windows pops up and tells me to sign in. I have to re-click it again for it to work. Damn Google framework interfering. Anyone else have this problem?

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.

I just use the browser and maximize.

Google Play error 413

Hello,
I am trying to download Weather Eye app from the market and it says: "weather eye could not be downloaded due an error 413." Tried to clear data in app tab "play store" section, nothing changed. I can download other apps tho from the market.

mmm... maybe the app isn't compatible with our device...
EDIT: no , i was wrong, i have downloaded it and it works here...

How odd.
Does it work if you log on to play.google.com from a normal browser and try to remote install it?

take a look here... this is what i've found
-recognize your browser, whether it is firefox, or google chrome, or internet explorer...
-recognize the version of your browser....
-remember.... different browsers have different ways of finding the version...
-and than you need to clear the cache files and the recent browse history, and cookies...
-im just explaining this to you generally...
- just follow through the guide here at this link.
- it'll help. hope it works for you.
Good Luck...

Installed Apps update not showing up in market

Hello everyone I've downloaded some apps from different sources which are paid apps in market. I know its illegal but thats not the point here. The apps I've downloaded are not showing up in my apps but when I search for that app in the play store its there saying installed. And the most weird thing is that even if the app has been updated in the play store no notification is given that the app has an update.
I'm new to galaxy nexus 4.1.2..
I've used android on 2.3.3. Earlier these apps if downloaded from other sources have an update they used to come up in market but now they dont come.
Does anyone has any explanation about this?
Plz help

Because the Play Store knows you didn't purchase those apps. Apps you purchase are tied to your Google account. If you try to update an app that is a paid app but you didn't purchase it through Google, it won't update.

Are you seriously expecting the Play Store to do you any favors to help you steal apps and have them work properly?
How about you don't steal apps, jackass. IB4L.

no i dont expect that... its just that earlier play store used to show that there is an update available for an app whether its paid or not.. but now it does not..

very simple explanation, dont steal apps and then dont post that you had stolen some apps but the market wont update them for you. all you are doing is asking people to pick on you here. xda isnt for helping with stolen apps. support your developers instead of stealing food out of their mouths. btw, the market is working just how its supposed to.

How stupid are you? You steal from other members of the community and then straight-faced ask them for help ripping them off ? Asshats like you deserve nothing less than to have your phone shoved sideways up your posterior... after your head is pulled out of it. FOAD.

You're not allowed to post about pirated software here. If you want better updates more quickly you should actually BUY the apps so the devs can afford to bring them.
