I'm still somewhat new to Android, so please excuse my noob question. I had a Skyrocket for a few weeks and just got my GS3 yesterday.
Are certain apps not yet compatible with our phone? I had ICS on my Skyrocket, but certain apps like Scrabble and Asphalt 6 will not show up in the Play store now.
Thanks for any info.

Yup, it looks like the developer hasn't updated it to be compatible with the S3. (Scrabble). If you look up the apps via play.google.com you can see what devices an application can be installed on. On your phone under the PLay app, it just won't show up.
Thanks for the tip! Here's hoping the app gts updated soon. I love Android, but I never knew of this drawback. I know it will vary by developer, but is it usually a matter of weeks or months before apps become compatible?

Some people have posted they have...Although, I'm in London and haven't yet. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling updates...
Go on the market and accept the new terms that pop up, then keep opening and closing the market until you get taken to Google Play instead.

I just hope they change the layout for the market like the Apple App store its so much more cleaner and easier to navigate.
I like the whats hot, top 25 sections on the App Store.
I just hope Google changes the layout.
Thanks all. Still don't have play yet but thanks

There is no difference, Just says Google Play at the top Instead of Market, who came up with "Google Play" by the way lol, I received the update earlier on my Xperia Play 2.3.4, I'm in Wales, UK, Sim free.
Well mine still says market, could it be because I still have 2 updates available (which I don't plan to do)?

Hi guys saw this is out now but the market says its not compatible with the i9300 but there's videos of people playing it online. A quick search on Google hasn't helped me find out any more.
Any thoughts? Cheers

the support will be added in the upcoming updates wait for a few days
I think what those other people do is download the APK file with a different device and transfer them over to the S3. It should then install and play fine.
This game looks good, can't wait for my S3 to arrive to play it.

i have this game too its about 1,4GB big and its rly nice the graphics are good like in GTA 3
I bought it for my SGS3 on launch day. Works fine with no lag and sound works too.
Downloaded straight from the play store with stock Rom UK version.

It was available for the S III on the play store at launch, for whatever reason they've now listed it as incompatible.
I assume they've just made it unavailable to all devices they haven't explicitly tested it on themselves due to bad reviews, and it will indeed be fixed in an upcoming update. Naturally, it does work fine.

Thanks man, good info. There's teething problems with many apps I've noticed!

So I knew they would get updates today but just letting some people know I just checked and I had like 8 updates from the Play store. Chrome, Books, G+, Maps and a few other things I use all got updated.
Yep and the new YouTube is Awesome looking.
Edit. Damn Google + got a major UI overhaul too. Me likes.

hahaha yeah I just started to play with it freaking sweetness.
I don't like it all, everything is just too big now. It's like visual overload.
I wish there was a way to order the videos that show up in YouTube, before they were in order of when uploaded, now they are just random with no options

The offline maps feature can come in pretty handy when you lose cell reception. Good update in a long time that's actually useful.

maps labs has allowed caching of 100 sq mile maps for months now. this isn't new, just expanded.
Loving G+ new UI.
Did you notice its so lookalike to the Facebook app UI. Hmmm

The new Google Maps is AMAZING! I just wish Chrome was compatible with Gingerbread!
Can someone please post an HD version of the latest YouTube app? They actually like our phones aren't HD capable when they clearly are. If not, I'll just continue to use my older version
Dang. It's great to be on ICS right now with all these updates.
Glad Google is doing it's best at I/O
YouTube app crashing on CM9 A5
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running CM9 Alpha 5 and all of these updates are good except YouTube which is crashing before opening. The only way to watch videos for me is within chrome.
Update: Solved by reinstalling the app from the new jelly bean market which imbonez9 posted here
Hey, I am a new user of android devices and have been using the aokp software 4.1.2 and i really like it. However, when I try to download arcane legends from the play store it says that my device in not compatible with the software. I happen to know that this game usually does work on a nexus 7 and i was wondering if there is any way around having to go back to the stock ROM to play this game and possibly many more apps. I would like to know the reason for thos happening and if there is any way around the problem. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you
Does anybody know? I mean out of the 100+ people who have viewed this already, nobody knows? Lol

Hey! My first post!
But seriously, has anyone found anything on this? Arcane legends runs fine on my nexus 5 (Carbon ROM/ElementalX) but carashes too frequently on my nexus 7 (32g/flo) which was running PA, then tried omnirom still same issues. Maybe using a stock based rom will work? Doing stock is no option, I like my rainbow colored halo/pie
just got an n7. like it a lot but one thing is confusing to me... why do some(actually, a lot) of the tablet specific apps in the play store show as not available to install? example... bank of america has a tablet app but i'm forced to install the phone one instead.
am i missing something obvious?

Search these forums for phablet, Google's odd solution to the bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet interface. In some ways you get the worse of both worlds instead of the best. The search will turn up all sorts of info on the way folks feel about it.

Isn't there a way to trick the market to give us full tablet apps?
Google for a app called lucky patcher. It can patch play store. Never used it myself. So backup your device.

You can just search here at XDA for a useful thread that provides various special versions of the Play Store. You can install one that will force everything to be for a certain dpi value or to ignore dpi or many other options. I have a special version on my Dell Streak that I got from here.
