I'm getting this error on many apps, including standards like Facebook and Google Plus. After searching on here I've seen a lot of suggestions but so far none of them have worked.
I've tried rebooting, changing LCD density (160, 200 and 240), clearing the market data, restoring from an old Titanium backup and even tried the Eris Market Fix as some people reported success with that. This is happening with every ICS build I try (currently on the DARKSTAR ROM 1.0.2 but also had this problem on Calkulin's stock rooted tars so I don't believe it's a ROM issue).
Anyone have any other suggestions? The only thing I can come up with is that this didn't happen until after the Android Market -> Play Store change-up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I'm not sure if this will work or not, but is something you can try.
Go to the Google Play in Manage Apps, and uninstall the updates, then try and get the apps you want.
I know with some custom rom's back in the day when we were going from Froyo to GB, they had a problem being recognized in the Market, and this was the only way to get some apps downloaded.
Try it out and see if it works..
Thanks borkan, that didn't work for me but it was worth a shot.
I finally stopped getting this error. I tried so many things I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but for anyone else with this problem I'd suggest giving them all a shot. I left my density at 240 for awhile (over 45 minutes) and next time I checked the market the error messages were gone and everything installed with no problems. Maybe it just takes some time to settle in.
Hmm, well maybe it was just the density taking it's time to register with the market as you say. I wish we could know for sure since I've heard a lot of people with this problem recently and would be nice to have a definitive answer.
I had the same problem. Always use 182 dpi and got the same error with a lot of apps ("your device isn't compatible with this item") changed dpi back to 240 waited for 1 hour or so and now a can download the apps again. great!
you dont have to wait an hour. just revert back your lcd density to 240/go to 'applications' in settings and under the 'all' tab, find 'play store'/market and clear cache and data. then open the market back up and update.

there is actually no fix. it also allows you to update with a 160 and default 240 density. those are the only ones im aware of. i wish they could fix this in the marke..Play Store.

And 320 is density of nexus...its because that is the standard of the screens and google enforces that kind of in a way to make it easier on app Developers .... it makes it easier to make a app because you don't have to to make the app work right on every density and 95 % of Android users have no clue u can change the density...its for the masses

Often Android market compatibility issues arise from changes made to the LCD-density property in the build.prop file.
If you've got root access, you can google your device and 'build.prop' to find the standard. You can use ES File Explorer (or a range of others) to change the property. Then if you change it back, it should work again. That's if it's a market compatibility issue.
I've got an SGS2, and when I installed earlier ICS ROMs they also had problems with Words with Friends. It would install properly, but then freeze or crash...leading to the acore process ending.
If it's a custom ROM, try posting in the forum where you DL'ed it. Either the dev will already know about it, or he won't. In either case, he should be able to tell you if there's a fix, if there's a fix-work-in-progress, if it's a samsung problem, or if you're just SOL.
If it's a stock ICS from Sammy...well, you might just be out of luck.
Like the gentleman said above. It's probably due to changing your resolution. Fortunately, I had the same problem and did a lot of research and found a fix. There's 2 ways to fix it.
1. Set it back to the default resolution, then reboot and clear the market's memory.
2. Pay for LCD Density Modder Pro (3 bucks) on android market. It can fix it so the resolution doesn't screw up the market any more. This is the route I took and it worked great.

All LDMP does is have you download and install a modded market, right?
(Not knocking the app, just asking)

sideload the apk??
or another trick ive read recently is to use the browser and find the app on the web market, click install, select the browser on the pop-up, sign into your account, select browser again on pop-up, click the back button once and that time select market not browser....hope u can follow all that and that it works??
Hello-
Is there any real way to get the Play Store to show all apps while using a non-standard DPI (i.e. not 240 or 160)? I've researched this pretty extensively, and seen purported fixes, but none seem to work. Resetting the DPI and rebooting and clearing the app data every time I want to download an app or check for updates is driving me insane. And at 240 this screen is comically huge, and at 160 impossibly small (I can't even get the status bar to pull down).
Thanks for any input.

Take a look here, just a quick search. I never tried using these though.

Thanks, the solution you linked to seems to be working!
I searched quite a bit before posting this, and tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582998 and another one similar to it, but neither worked.
Glad it worked for you, also for the notifications pull down, I remember when I was on 160 dpi, I used adw and go launcher both of those launchers have swipe actions. So as long as you swipe down on the homescreen it will pull your notifications down for you.
For anyone else reading this, the aforementioned fix failed to work after a few days, however, going into Settings->Apps->Google Play Store and clearing the app's cache/data then rebooting seems to have fixed it again.
Apparently the fix is baked into the app, but with time it "learns" I have a different DPI and starts restricting things again, which is why you have to erase its data periodically.
Modded Vending (Play Store) & GoogleServicesFramework apk
Came across this topic and so thought I give you some heads up to how you can stay compatible with Play Store apps indefinitely from this LINK all thanks to [email protected]!...
The modded Play Store allows app compatibilty on density changed handsets ( using dpi's other than 160 & 240 dpi density ), although the one in post #3 here is the latest version modded while the one in the link I provided is 3.5.15, GoogleServicesFramework allows Play Store app to stay compatible forcing android not to revert back to standard dpi density the Play Store requires!...
I hope this helps with all you following this topic?!...
Okay 2 cents done
I haven't messed with anything other than 160 for this exact problem. I'm surprised there isn't any sort of spoof. Going lower is very tempting but I couldn't deal with it being broken I reboot for enough other reasons (despite it still being quick on aokp m5)
I guess I'm just having a misunderstanding and any help is greatly appreciated.
So the stock DPI setting is 240, I dropped mine down to 190 or so give or take, and obviously that causes certain apps to not even appear on the market. Been using other places just to get apk files so they obviously work fine. I was under the impression that just changing back to 240dpi along with clearing market cache and resetting phone would re-allow me to see certain apps that aren't showing. I must be doing it wrong because this definitely isn't working for me lol
I've seen on other phones Market compatibility fixes to trick the market into thinking we have the stock DPI set. Do we have anything for our E4GT's that will achieve this trick.
I thought I wouldn't have a problem with just going back on fourth but showing off the phone and having to spend 2 minutes to go back and change settings just to download an app is kind of a hassle
Thanks again!
Get LCD Density Modder Pro and use it to patch the Store.
I've gone through a bunch of densities to find what I like, eventually settled on 206 as our screen is 206ppi. Quite happy with it.
I had to clear paly store cache/data, google framework cache/data and reboot. Worked for me.

Does anyone know of a permanent fix for the market saying "incompatible device" when you change the LCD Density? I have followed all the steps (for example, listed in AOKP roms) and even though it works for a few days or couple weeks, it still eventually reverts back to the error state.
So, anyone know of a permanent fix?
Download and flash one of the latest modded Play Store apps in the second post of this thread. Each modded Play Store will have proper multi DPI support and may fix your issue.

every so often play store auto updates itself along with Google services framework. When this happens just flash the latest like already stated
I'm running Jellybomb, didn't have the problem in the past: just started recently.
Almost everything I try to get says "Your device is not compatible with this version." Hell, I can't even get most apps to even show up on a search in the Play Store; I actually have to use a hyperlink to even get them to show up. (Doesn't matter, free or paid, Btw)
Anyone experienced this, or know a fix?

what DPI are you running at? i ran into a similar problem on one of the tablet note 2 roms, and the only way i found to fix it was to use Xposed and resize play store to 320 dpi and a lower res.
WI'll definitely give that a shot. (I honestly need to check the DPI...I'd bet it's not 240 or 320, and probably is the issue.)
Edit: Actually tried both; 240 fixed it to where I could at least search for everything, but still only install some; 320 fixed it completely.
Thanks again...
