So I went to install Draw Something Free, to see what the hype is all about, and get told that the app isn't compatible with my i9250/AOKP M3.
Upon further investigation, most free games are listed as incompatible - including Fruit Ninja Free, even though i have the paid version already installed.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?
Try wiping the cache and data for Google play store from settings-> applications-> manage apps and then locate play store. If that doesn't work, try wiping cache from cwm and fixing permissions. That should solve your issue

How many of you with incompatible apps issues are running a different screen density?
I just downloaded Fruit Ninja without issue.

Tried this, didn't work. Ended up ditching MS3 for MS4 (since it came out a couple days ago).

I'm thinking this was the issue. A little late though, as I just wiped and fresh-installed MS4, and now it works.
Interestingly enough, in MS4 (and NOT MS3), Settings -> ROM Control -> General UI -> LCD Density now gives a whole process for dealing with the Market, that includes a section that says "If you ever have compatibility issues with the market, be sure to return here and repeat the process (of changing the density)"
Its weird cause I also get incompatibility even though I'm running stock... some Verizon apps are also incompatible with my phone

Wouldn't personally want to use fruit ninja anyway after the news highlighting the fact they are one of the apps selling contact lists and calendar entries to companies, without our knowledge. Or so it would seem.

Hi,
Recently my galaxy nexus has been behaving strangely. For some reason, when I search for certain apps (e.g. Imdb, friendcaster etc etc) they do not appear in my searches.
If I visit via the direct link, it says this application is not compatible with your device
If I reflash my ROM and kernel, the market works fine for a little while..then the above problem reappears
I have also tried clearing market cache and data, but this does not solve the problem
Any ideas?

Most common error: stop changing your density or don't install a rom with changed density.
I used "fix market compatibility" within LCD monitor pro which installed a spoof 320dpi market. I can now find all apps, although I'm slightly worried about the safety of this spoof market

Same thing happened to me the other day. Went to download Titanium Backup in the market after flashing Driven. Couldn't find it. Had to download it from the web. I go today to search for it and it is there in the play store. Strange.

So use the real Play Store and return your density to stock.

But after using the phone at 241dpi I could never go back to 320dpi.. it just looks so bad
Weirdly if I temporarily change dpi to 320 and then use the stock store.. apps still don't appear. Using the spoof store is the only thing that seems to work

... then you just have to deal with it? lol. I don't understand the complaint. You know how to fix the problem, but you refuse to do so, so then you have to deal with the spoof store. There ya go.
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2. I recently rooted it and installed the latest CM10 nightly. I also have Clockwork Recovery Mod v6 installed.
When I installed CM10, I did a complete wipe, format, etc. I flashed the latest gapps for JB (20121011-signed). I noticed right away that certain apps on the market are now saying "not compatible with your device" (Foursquare, Walmart, Google Goggles, and a few others).
Someone suggested changing my DPI. I switched ro.sf.lcd_density from 240 to 320 (and also tried 160 and 220). Rebooted. Didn't work. Still got the incompatible notice. I really don't think it's a DPI issue anymore. But are there other common DPIs that I should try? What's default for the S2?
I downloaded the Amazon AppStore and it allowed me to "download" these apps, but it would FAIL when it went to "install" them. They wouldn't simply error out during the install with "Application Not Installed" or something generic like that. This makes me think there's some setting on my phone that's wrong, and not necessarily just a problem with the app store.
Any other suggestions? It really seems odd to me that I'd "start from scratch" and get these incompatible notices from Google Play store. Can anyone else install or run these apps?
The incompatible notice is usually dpi-related. Try changing your dpi to 240 (the default) and then clearing the data on the play store. Reboot, open the play store and agree to the prompts. Exit again, and wait ten minutes. That usually clears it up for me.

I appreciate the help, but it didn't seem to work. I did all the steps exactly, and the apps still have incompatible notices.
When you say "Exit again" did you mean simply exit the Google Play store app? After opened the play store, agreed to the prompt, and then hit the home button. Waited 10 minutes and didn't seem to help.
Thanks again. Any other suggestions?

This is how I fix it:
1 - adjust dpi back to 240 (stock for this phone)
2 - In settings/app manager, find Google play store & Google framework services
3 - force stop, wipe data & wipe cache
4 - same for both
5 - now you go to the settings/accounts and you need 2 Google accounts, cause you have to actually remove your main Google account, then re-add it
6 - reboot
If this doesn't fix, then the app is either not compatible with this device or something else is causing the issue..
Good luck!

Hi,
To change your LCD density but avoid apps incompatibility, set your density back to 213.
Now, create a file in /data/local.prop and type in it :
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
You can change the density to whatever you want, save and reboot
Please press thanks if I helped you

This could help you. Just set it 240 instead of 213 for E4GT.

[Q] Something is installing " the hobbit" & "kingdom of camelot" apps?
I'm seeing two apps that have been installed THE HOBBIT and KINGDOM of CAMELOT. I did not install them. Any idea what's installing them without my permission? And I'm not saying these are REAL apps. that's just what they are titled. Once I clicked on one and it tried to open a browser window.
Also, I noticed an app called COOL APPS that goes to a browser window: www.iconadverse.com/redirect
I'd like to find what is installing this ****.
Thanks

Have you downloaded a free app from the Play Store lately?
A lot of apps do this to make money. Usually it installs some kind of search app.
Uninstall some recently installed apps and see if they go away.
Are you rooted? If not, its not possible for an app to install other apps in the background without user confirmation, or so I've picked up on from my reading.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Sort your apps by installation date, and post the last dozen here.
I don't know if it's worth installing an anti-malware app at this point, but you can try Addons Detector. That might be able to find the offending app.
And odds are that what you see as apps for the Hobbit and whatever are only shortcuts placed on your homescreen by a bad developer. Either way, I'd be concerned and upset. I hope you will find the cause of this and go back to the Play Store to comment/rate as needed (unless you sideloaded it..)
Both are being advertised on Facebook this week sounds like you clicked on it from there.

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help. I flashed PA_d2att-3.60-12JUN2013-050113 and pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed today and now I'm not able to download all of my apps from the App store. I was able to get a good amount of apps, but when I tried to put on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, I was getting the Packet File is Invalid message.
I cleared the play store cache from within android but that didn't work. I tried rebooting into TWRP and clearing out all my cache's and that didn't work either.
I saw someone link a 'market fix' app and I even tried that. Nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions?

I'm no help on what the problem is, but I've been having this problem quite a lot lately. I'm on 4.1.1 rooted. Also, the wife's bone stock s4 has been throwing the same error from time to time. I might not be your phone or software. I'm interested to hear other input.

This just happened after going on Paranoid Android (4.2.2) I like the ROM, but I may have to try something else if I can't get it to work right
Well you're flashing an old release, try flashing a newer one and see if that helps.

I'll check for new ones. I took that right from the first post on the thread on here. Maybe I misread something....
ahh yeah I saw 3.6 stable and completely missed the 3.69. I'll try it tonight when I get home and charge this thing back up. Hopefully that works.
Just tried installing apps again. This time over wifi rather than LTE. They worked. Weird. I could understand if no apps downloaded over LTE, but I downloaded probably 20 or so and only a handful didn't work.
Oh well. I'll stick with this ROM for the moment and see how it behaves over a few days.
Thanks again for pointing out there was a newer one.
Temporary fix anthill Google fix on they end
Unlike other solutions that I have seen, this actually works: Follow the below simply step carefully to solve this problem
1.download this VPN software(hideman) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mato1mtb7vrk/net.hideman_2.1.apk
Or you can still download any other vpn software that can change your ip but I used hideman
2.After you have installed this software on your phone,open it and click on country of connection and choose United State then connect
3. Now open your playstore and download any app
This is just idea from : http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/0...-is-invalid-error-for-many-during-app-updates . I did not take credit for it.
If you go to settings apps all...and wipe data/cache for Google services framework your good.

Hello,
recently, i decided to root my phone so that i could get the free in app purchases. Whenever i would use Freedom V0.8.4 to do the hack, it would only work for 4 times, and by then the google play store would update. To solve this, i tried disabling the google play store, but that didn't work. So then i did some web surfing, and found that Android Market V2.3.6 doesn't automatically update, so i rejoiced for a moment, downloaded it, and installed it. then when i went to open the android market to make sure it worked, it was nowhere to be found. not in the application list in the application manager, or anywhere else. Then i remembered, before i had installed the market 2.3.6, i had left the "disabled" part checked for google play. Also, when the market had installed, typically it will give you the option of "done" or "open".The only one i could click was "done", as the "open" was not able to be clicked.
Now i am unable to do anything that would require the market. i even tried installing newer versions of the android market, and they either didn't install, or did the same thing as v2.3.6
Please help, i really dont want to do a factory reset.
thanks for any help
