[Q] Play store issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi I am using a GS2 T989 with a stock rom, with Darksides kernel, and I haven't done anything to the rom EXCEPT for change the LCD Density of the screen, and I already changed that back to 240 because I heard that changing the LCD Density could screw with some play store things.
My problem is when I go to download some apps, it says that my device is not compatible with that app. I wanna know how to fix this..
I already deleted cache and wiped the play store data via settings > applications, and it did nothing..
I am stuck, there are updates it isn't letting me get, and it's getting frustrating...

Yeah this issue has been going around. It's just the kernel.

[Q] CM7 & Incompatible Market

Okay, so I've been updating each nightly ROM and have a small issue. I've gone back to RC1v2 and the issue seems to be there too, although I am now back on the latest nightly (from 11th August).
a lot of apps I have installed - lets take Facebook as a pretty bog standard example - don't show up in the "My Apps" part of the Market app. If I search for it, it says it is installed. If there was an update then it allows me to update it, but still refuses to show it in "My Apps".
Now, if I go to the web version of the Market, it tells me that Facebook is "incompatible with my T-Mobile MB525". Clearly it's lying.
I've tried clearing cache and data from the Market app - still no joy.
I've tried taking the ro.build.fingerprint line of a Defy running stock 2.2 - no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem?
How can I fix it?
Yes I always have this no matter which rom I have.
You can get it to show all apps after you update or download a new app on the market.
Sent from my MotoDefy.
Edit just tried it again amd it didn't work this time!
Edit 2 after clearing the cache (after downloading a new app from the market) it now shows all my apps.

No - that's not helping. For example, I've just searched for "chess" on my phone's market app, found one and installed it. the app does not show in "My Apps", and nor do any other supposedly incompatible ones. Market on web shows installed, and yet incompatible, screen attached.
Right that's a different issue to what I was thinking.
I used to have something similar to this when I was originally on eclair & tried to download apps from the market on my laptop - said they were incompatible as they were for a more recent Android version.
Sorry can't help any further as I've not had the issue on CM7.
hmm - bizarrely I just installed the latest nightly (1116), and now all my market works again. I'm confused, but somewhat happier.
now, if I can just work out why my patcher isn't working to get transparency theming I'll be sorted...

and now it doesn't. Clearly I'm doing something to cause this. Time for an investigation.
okay - the incompatibility comes when I try to rename the camera shutter sound. command I'm using is: mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bak
Why would that cause this issue?
or apparently any command after mounting /system - at random. I give up.
In case anyone else IS following my ramblings here, I've changed ROM to WajkIUI, done nothing in the system folder, and still have incompatibility in the market.
Reloading a ROM was getting the market working - now not. The whole thing beats me.
gapps
Try flashing the latest gapps from here.
Another idea, try flashing a full nordic stock 2.2 sbf from scratch and applying CM7 again.
thanks - I'm already on the latest gapps.
I don't think flashing the sbf etc again would help, as like I've said - flashing a ROM usually fixes the problem, then I go and change stuff in /system (renaming the camera sound files, and uninstalling OI File Manager so I can get the later version in the market).
Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196417
Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.
You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.

You're a star. That solved it. Thanks!
I had this issue also. The LCD density fix did nothing for me
i had to make changes to the build.prop file
below are the changes i made
original:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-keys
replaced the above lines with:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-key
these came from my stock froyo TMO ROM
am I blind, or did you really replace two lines with two identical lines?
I had a similar issue, but for some reason I have multiple accounts on for my market and the apps seem to get randomly assigned to another gmail account and will only show up when I go to that account.
I have not had any issues with the compatibility however, and I haven't flashed a new nightly since the end of Sept. but I am about to go with the first Defy stable build from CM so I guess we will see. I will make sure to back-up everything.

Google Play keeps FC'ing

Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store
no luck.
Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.
What rom are you using?

okay last one that i think worked on me before:
- turn off internet first, then uninstall updates on Play store
- reselect language again,
- turn data/wifi on back, wait for Market to update to Play store
I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.
Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

[Q] Can't download from Market / play store

OK have rooted my phone and never had an issue. Now all of a sudden I find I can no longer download from the Market / Play store? This started last week when I downloaded the new skygo app - (Only to find it doesn't work on rooted phones)
If I use the play app - I can visit and search but when I click download and accept I just get a message "Error while downloading purchase".
If I sign into the market on my PC, my phone is showing, all previous apps are showing, I can go to the store and download - but nothing happens, the app never arrives.
Currently installed apps all update without any issues.
Running: Redemption1.0 -Alpha4.0

Already cleared app data.
Have updated the ROM to Alpha6.0 and still no dice.
Any other ideas?
Did you change your LCD Density (DPI) to a different value? The default is 240 and the Market does not always work if you change this. If this is your case then try this
clear the market data and cache
set the density back to 240 (i.e. edit system/build_prop to have ro.sf.lcd_density=240)
reboot
use the Market to update everything (hopefully it works)
set your density back to what you want
reboot

Did you use the BlackICE Icetool app to change densities? If not then you need to manually clear the Market data and reboot. Depending on your country you may need to use something like Market Enabler to pretend you are in the U.S.
Also, the newest versions of Play Store seem a bit better

Marketplace Trouble

I cannot post to the below forum or else I would
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416470
I have this ROM installed in my Xperia Play r800x, things seem to be working except that the marketplace no longer will install any of my previously installed applications, they all say incompatible with the device. Is there a fix for this or a limitation of using the ROM?
I read that the ro.sf.lcd_density= shoud be 240 and it was 210 I believe...I went ahead and set it too 240, rebooted, force closed google play and cleared cache and rebooted, still same issue.
cleared play store cache, changed lcd density, then booted to CWM and cleared cache THEN it started allowing apps to install...just thought I would post the fix I used. Though Im sure most folks know it.

Play store and incompatible apps

Hi all
I'm currently running imilka's unofficial cm10, I'm loving so far.
Only issue I've identified, at some point something changes with the play store, I seem not to be able to install 80% of my apps.
As an example, I have Google+ installed but if I browse to the play store and select it, Google play says its incompatible with my device even though its already installed.
This is the case for about 80% of my currently installed apps.
I've tried to force close and clear cache for the play store app but when I restart it I still can't install apps.
Can anyone help ?

I've never had this problem until now, I think its an issue with the new JB gapps. Can't be sure though.
I have had this problem a couple of times with PA ROM (Utaka's build) and everytime i get the issue I have factory wiped and it fixes the issue. I now always fact reset so I can clearly identify if it is a bug in the ROM or not. Cheers
play store doesnt support much dpi, if u changed dpi, it affects, to resolve, download and flash the dpi modded play store
