There is a few work a rounds for this and it is different for different people.
1.go to sync, then Google. Click to unsync Google mail and click to sync again.
2. Go into all applications, find Google services framework or something like that and clear all of it's data.
3. This is known to work less but just try hitting install repeatedly and it MIGHT work.
Hope I helped.

Maybe Google saw your last tax report and figured you can pay for all your apps?

Certain apps missing in play store (cm9?)

OK so, ever since I upgraded to CM9 months ago, I have found that certain apps are not available to me from the play store. For example, when I type in Youtube, it doesn't even show up as a option to download. When I go to the play store on my desktop, it either says that the app is not compatible with my device, or my device is greyed out in the drop down menu. This is true for several other apps that I have tried downloading. I tried clearing the play store data, but I'm still limited in the apps that show up upon searching. I was able to find a youtube apk elsewhere, but am wondering what the fix is for this cause there are other apps that I want...like zen bound. I just upgraded to alpha 6...same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have put up with this issue for long enough.

I haven't had that issue and am on cm9 and was also on aokp. Which cm9 did you download and from where?

CM9 was from here. It may have nothing to do with CM9, I just can't figure out why so many apps either don't show up at all upon search (e.g., zen bound 2), or they show up in the store, but say that they are not compatible with my device. I though it might be a screen density thing, but when I upgraded to alpha 6, the screen density went back to 240 and the play store is still missing apps like youtube.

Try clearing all data for the play store and then reflashing gapps...?

That did it! Thanks button has been pushed.

Clearing play store data then re flashing gapps did the trick (i.e., zen bound 2 and youtube apps were showing up in play store). However, I woke up this morning and the play store is doing the same thing as before (missing certain apps). For example, I type in "zen bound 2" and get a white screen with the "No results found". I tried the same technique again (as suggested by shultz) and this time it doesn't work. So I'm back to the same problem. Any ideas on what the culprit is here? should I be posting this in the CM9 thread?

yes, I live at 190, but went back to 240 just in case that was the problem (is there a better setting i can try?). I let rom toolbox reset my phone after and i still couldn't get zen bound 2. By the way the above trick (clearing play store data and flashing gapps) briefly worked and i was able to download zen bound 2, but by the time the game was finished downloading, the play store stopped working correctly again....and so I have zen bound 2 purchased, but it won't let me install it cause it says my device is not compatible. This is aggravating.

DPI and play store

Can someone post the steps to get Google play store to find certain apps when it doesn't recognize my device because I have the DPI set low? I remember when I was on aokp it had the steps built into the ROM but I don't remember how. Play store either doesn't show what I was searching for or it says device not compatible. Also what is the lowest you can set it before the play store can't recognize it? Thanks!

Change dpi, reboot, clear market cache, enter market, accept.
As far as dpi for market, depends on what you consider working. As you move away from stock, you start having different things happening like movies+tv disappearing or apps being not supported. You have to mess around since no one has yet posted a list of trial and errors. To get around the apps issue, download the modified market app. It will remove the app restriction, but be careful you don't try to install something you shouldn't.

Download LCD modder pro. It gives you the option to download modded market. Works great for me
I use rom toolbox pro to change dpi, reboot, download 2 files from lcd modder pro, install and reboot. You might see a bunch of things fc while its prepping to reboot but its fine

Haha! I know the feeling!!! Just a quick note!
When you replace the files. Delete the app cache for the market and Google services framework via settings then flash the modded market. I'm gonna look into Google services framework as well and see what role that gas in market compatibility. Also after replacing files, reboot to recovery and clear bother cache partition and dalvik cache. That should help.

So after I changed DPI and rebooted, my phone wouldn't come on. I did dark side cache several times and phone wouldn't come on. Thank God I had an old nandroid. Not the current jb one. So I did follow the steps exactly like you said.

Did you change the DPI before adding the files? or did you change the files then change DPI and then reboot? It being JB shouldnt really matter as the android market is pretty universal as GB market works on ICS and etc. However they may have changed it.
Can you provide an exact step by step as to what you did?

Kobo app not compatible?

I'm on Slim Rom......kobo in app store says not compatible with this device. Serious? Or is it a glitch??
Thanks for any help!

I'm on Slim Bean as well and just tried installing the app to see if I get the same result. It's working fine on my phone so it should install on your phone without a problem, try wiping the data/cache for the Play store app and then restart your phone to see if that fixes it.

Thanks.....didn't work tho. Wonder if being at 180dpi has something to do with it....or multi dpi playstore I'm running. Have to play around with it.

That could be it, revert your dpi back to stock 240 dpi making sure you clear the Play Store data/cache before you download the Kobo app again. Good luck!

Google play issues. Missing apps...

Hi all
Having an issue that's been developing over the course of 2 days ... I've slowly been losing apps in Google play... I normally have 70 apps showing as installed.
Earlier today I had low 60s... Now I'm sitting at 39...
I have wiped cache, dalvik etc. Fixed permissions. Cleared app data. Even tried forcing them in titanium.
Idk what else to do here... As a result I'm not getting updates to my apps...
Anyone have any ideas?

That's super strange. What ROM are you using? Have you messed with any system files and/or flashed anything with an "alpha" tag on it?

PA latest 2.99
Franco test kernel r47
Other then that I don't mess with system files...
Actually. I think I know what it is... I changed the DPI etc on Google play... I wonder if that did it...
Give me a bit to test

I don't know what the source of your problem is, but my advice would be to try a new ROM (or a fresh install of the same one - latest version if possible). And while you're at it try using these optimized gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
I've never had a problem with apps missing, could it be malware?

Change play store and Google play services to standard DPI in paranoid settings, then wipe the data and cache for those apps then reboot once or twice and all apps will be back

I think he meant, that you should wipe the play store and the play services and not all your other apps. Besides did you try Market doctor that comes with Titanium backup?

Under apps tab in paranoid preferences, change only play store app and play services app to the default DPI, then wipe they're data and reboot

Can you see apps as downloadable via pc login to store? If you can then you have a problem with your store app in device. Otherwise it may be some country/carrier restriction. ie, I couldn't install maps and navigation apps from store cause device isn't officially launched in my country yet. PA gapps solved my problem with apps
