Alot of apps say not compatible... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having an issue with one of my epics that half of the stuff in the market says not compatible, but on the other epic its fine. I know i downloaded this market enabler app and it ended up messing up my phone and im sure thats the issue, but since then i completely restored the market and all the market apps. It's still messed up. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this without wiping the complete phone?

Check your build.prop and see what your device is listed as. A text editor can view it.

already done that, everything in build prop says epic.

Can you list some of these apps so I can verify it is not just a market error? The same thing happened right after the EI22 OTA. It takes Google a week to catch up on new firmware.

Another question is are you using an app to change your LCD density? I had done so and a lot of apps said not compatible until I set to default and rebooted.

Well thats a interesting point.... i have my lcd density edited just via my build prop. im going to change it back and see if that fixes it.
edit: changing my density from 200 back to 240 doesn't fix the problem

I've had this problem before... ultimately google talk kept saying failed login. More than likely messed up data somewhere. I ended up flashing rom and delete all data dalvic and cache. When I tried to advance restore data from cwm this problem came back. Best to restore from titanium or my backup.

yeah i still cant figure it out, i think maybe the best thing to do is just restart everything from scratch.

Do you mean it didn't wipe data or didn't fix the market problem? You should have to accept terms and conditions in market again to show it wiped data. As for apps still being incompatible, you need to Odin back to stock, something got out of whack...probably still something in the build.prop.

it wiped data, still didnt work. My build prop is fine. its the same as my other epic that works fine. same rom same everything. only different is one is on boost and one is on VM

Just one day it started showing the device as incompatible whereas the other device is not. Any apps that were compatible at one time? This happened to me with HBOGO then a week later it cleared up, like Google had to fix something.

I need help with market

So, I've been running the same stuff since I got my replacement. Stock, deodexed ec05, with maddoggin's simply blue theme/6 lok mod, and nubecoder's droid charge boot animation. All of a sudden, the market is fcing on me. I tried clearing data/cache, and fixing permissions in cwm. Nothing. It starts to load, then fc's. Any ideas?

I just tried replcing it with the vending.apk frm the theme .zip. I deleted the old one, and pasted the "new" one in system/app with es file explorer, then mounted as read only. Then tried to open, it fc'd. I turned it off, booted into cwm, tried to fix permissions, and when I reboted, it fc'd upon startup. i'd be happy if I could keep the themed market, but I'll settle for regular I it'll work again. If you could paste the vending.apk for me, that'd be great. I'm on my phone, so icant really dowload a whole rom. I gotta get sleep lol
Sent from the only thing i need.
Try just flashing a theme that includes a themed market. It should overwrite whatever is wrong with your market plus give you a themed market.
I flashed the theme again, and its still fcing. I don't understand why its doing this, it was working fine earlier. Right now, I just need a working market, Idc about color.

Well you may want to redownload and flash MikG. Chances are there was just a code screw up that was causing the issue. MikG is a pretty well known ROM. I doubt it would've achieved such success if the contacts apk was constantly FC'ing.
Edit: There also may have been an apk that you downloaded that didnt play nice with the contacts apk. Check into that possibility as well.

I'm not sure if its the phone the app or something else but my subscriptions are all gone and most of the videos I try to play crash the app. I have tried reflashing cm7 many times but it still occurs. No other app has any issue. Google search failed me so I was hoping someone might have an answer.

Did you go into settings-applications-manage applications-youtube and then clear data? I would try that before anything else. Also, are you undervolting at all? If I go to low with setCPU, youtube is usually the first thing to crash.
Its the app EVERYBODY has this issue and its pissing me off
If you read the apps reviews there plumeting because they haven't fixed it yet

Also, though it sounds noobish,have you cleared Dalvik and formatted /cache under mounts &storage? Always ask the simplest questions first. Damn A+ steps. ;-)

I don't use titanium. Clean installs only. I don't nandroid ever either. I know all the tricks for simple stuff since I've been on xda since my Samsung moment. I had figured it was YouTube being YouTube and having issues with everything. But I wasn't sure until I tested stuff.

I saw this fix somewwhere and it worked on my gf's epic running legendary 2.2 and samurai assassin (problem originated for her on acs ics 5.1). I did a factory data reset from the settings menu in android. After the phone reboots enter your account settings and restore apps with data using titanium backup. Its a bit tedious but it worked.

[Q] Market has missing apps, especially one that are installed and/or purchased

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

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

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?

Reflash the ROM..isn't that standard density? It probably wants you to enable gmail sync and sign in.

hell, i cant even use adb because it doesnt recognize the phone or mount the internal or external sdcards. the only thing i can do is flash tar files in odin to the phone but the system still reads as "custom." going to try a few more things to see what's what.

This is why u dont restore data from previous builds and roms. Its one of the easiest ways to f stuff up. Much better to just keep current backups of apps and data in the system not in nandroids. Its more pain in the ass but saves u crap like this. System data on nandroids isnt always compatible with newer builds. Plus its better to always start fresh anyway
