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.

Has the New Market just been updated or have i been living under a rock?
The GUI seems improved, and i no longer seem to get any lag etc
Guessing this is to coincide with ICS perhaps somehow?!
Flake x
I just had an update for the market to 3.1.5. It's a nicer interface and seemed a bit snappier, but that may be my imagination. ICS is 3.2.0 I believe.
This Version I have is 3.3.11
Yep.. Same here.. 3.3.11

It has looked like this for awhile now. Only minor improvements were made with 3.3.11.

Interesting. Do you have a source?
What! It detects pirated apps.? Then what? What does it do then after detecting?
On Nov. 08 2011, the android market got updated .............and hence the world came to an end.
Its true about the pirated apps, the my apps screen will become blank and you cannot update your apps anymore. The online market still works though and even gives you the option to reinstall pitated apps - which does not work.

simple answer to that is don't pirate apps!!!!!
It appears that the problem on the galaxy s where some of the app images would not show when previewing is now fixed.
Could be following the update.

How Google will make a difference for paid market apps and paid non-market apps then? If i download some legit apps from for example GetJar/amazon app store/etc, Google doesn't have record for me buying this app..but still it appears in my apps list (IIRC this happens, but not 100% sure..). So if Google isn't analyzing apk file itself, its hard to believe it could work correctly..
And I also haven't seen any comments like these in other Market threads..
Removing my three unpaid apps, blackmart and clearing the data part of market solved the issue. I removed the data before, that did not help, now it did. It's strange...

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. There's clearly nothing to support these claims.
Wondering if its just me or what? When i open up youtube it says "this list can't be viewed", I can still search and view videos, it just doesn't show my subscriptions. Anybody else having 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.
hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.
eric

Try wiping data in Google Play, and let it rebuild your list. You may need to use Titanium backup for this.

This has happened to me before, and wiping the data should fix it. I was able to do it without Titanium through the app manager.

You could try manually flashing a different Google play version and let it upgrade automatically. This happened to me once and that fixed it for me.

The problem is FRUSTRATING the "F" out of me with Google Play. I have a rooted and running AKOP epicmtd milestone 5.2 and when I go to download certian apps (even ones I already had before on my apps list), I get a black box that says "This device isn't compatible with this version" It's making me crazy because there are LOTS of apps that are pretty common that I use I cant download. Like Facebook for instance. But there are more important ones that I count on that I cant get back. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solve this problem?? I sure could use some help cause Im bout ready to throw this thing at my annoying step daughter LOL! Thanks

Did you change your lcd resolution? That makes apps incompatible for your device.

Hey Kenny, I followed the directions to the LCD settings thing here, and now I cant get into Play at all! GRRR. it says something about background data needing to be enabled, but when I click on the option box to "enable" this background data, it takes me to "accounts and sync" and from there I dont know what the heck to do. Ive rebooted from there, Ive done this process over and over about 5 times and it's still not working and now some of my app icons have been changed to the little android guy. VERY confused now EESH!! Anymore ideas?
Thanks,
Ridge
Reflash the ROM..isn't that standard density? It probably wants you to enable gmail sync and sign in.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
At the very top of accounts and sync in the settings you will see background data... check the box... background data has to run for the market to run

OK so, ever since I upgraded to CM9 months ago, I have found that certain apps are not available to me from the play store. For example, when I type in Youtube, it doesn't even show up as a option to download. When I go to the play store on my desktop, it either says that the app is not compatible with my device, or my device is greyed out in the drop down menu. This is true for several other apps that I have tried downloading. I tried clearing the play store data, but I'm still limited in the apps that show up upon searching. I was able to find a youtube apk elsewhere, but am wondering what the fix is for this cause there are other apps that I want...like zen bound. I just upgraded to alpha 6...same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have put up with this issue for long enough.
I haven't had that issue and am on cm9 and was also on aokp. Which cm9 did you download and from where?

CM9 was from here. It may have nothing to do with CM9, I just can't figure out why so many apps either don't show up at all upon search (e.g., zen bound 2), or they show up in the store, but say that they are not compatible with my device. I though it might be a screen density thing, but when I upgraded to alpha 6, the screen density went back to 240 and the play store is still missing apps like youtube.

That did it! Thanks button has been pushed.
Clearing play store data then re flashing gapps did the trick (i.e., zen bound 2 and youtube apps were showing up in play store). However, I woke up this morning and the play store is doing the same thing as before (missing certain apps). For example, I type in "zen bound 2" and get a white screen with the "No results found". I tried the same technique again (as suggested by shultz) and this time it doesn't work. So I'm back to the same problem. Any ideas on what the culprit is here? should I be posting this in the CM9 thread?

yes, I live at 190, but went back to 240 just in case that was the problem (is there a better setting i can try?). I let rom toolbox reset my phone after and i still couldn't get zen bound 2. By the way the above trick (clearing play store data and flashing gapps) briefly worked and i was able to download zen bound 2, but by the time the game was finished downloading, the play store stopped working correctly again....and so I have zen bound 2 purchased, but it won't let me install it cause it says my device is not compatible. This is aggravating.
Anyone having any problems with some apps not staying disabled? I'm having trouble with Google movies and Google books. I disable them and eventually they come back and I see the update in the market for them. I go back in and disable.tjem. I know I could root and delete them but I'm waiting on my pc so I can't yet. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

At least I know I'm not crazy. I looked this issue up and didn't find a lot but I did find someone say to disable Google partner setup along with the apps. So far since I did that they haven't come back yet but I dont know what Google partner setup is.
