[Q] Some apps not showing - weird problem with web/phone based Market

OK here goes ...
I got a Galaxy Nexus on a new plan with Vodafone Australia and passed on my Desire HD to my Mrs.
The G Nexus came with 4.0.1 installed.
I havent rooted the GNex, but the DHD is rooted and running English version of MIUI from miuiandroid.com.
Cut back to yesterday, when I tried to install an app from Market on my GNex. Its called "My Vodafone" and is published by Vodafone Australia. It didnt come up when searched on Market app on my GNex.
Then I tried to search for the app on my wife's DHD. Same thing doesnt show up. She's with Vodafone as well. I know the apps there on Market because ppl have installed it.
Even more surprising is that a friend of mine who is with a different provider (Optus) can see the app in his Market app on his GNex !!!!!!!!!!!
Then I try to get it via the web based market.android.com.
Logged in, searched for the app, but again it says its not compatible.
What could be wrong ?
Is it the phone/ICS/carrier that is causing this to happen ?
Apart from this I am getting turned off by this fragmentated, rugged experience of using Android. ICS was supposed to be more polished than ever !
But sadly, it hasn't lived upto its mark for me..
I have had other issues with the GNex/ICS but this one is the worst one so far.
What can I do to install this and other apps which are showing on my friends GNex, but not on mine

The developer must update the app to show its compatible (in the market) with ICS.
I would pull the .apk with titanium backup from your wifes phone and side load it to your phone.

Its not that straight forward. The app is showing on my friends GNex which also runs on ICS !!!!!!

MLB at bat compatibility?

Market says new mlb at bat 12 is not compatible with the nexus. What gives? Anyone have a way around this?
Oh and the Google wallet trick of opening in the phone browser then selecting market app doesn't work either. Just days item can't be found

It should be compatible. I have MLB at bat lite working on my nexus.
http://mlb.mlb.com/mobile/atbat/
MLB.TV Device Requirements: Requires Android OS 2.2 or later, supported devices:
HTC Evo
HTC Evo Shift
HTC Thunderbolt
Motorola Droid 3
Motorola Droid Pro
Sony Xperia Play
Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Must be because i am running 4.0.4? Had to shoe horn it in cause market days incompatible. Are you running stock?

Can you explain how you got it to install on 4.0.4? Did you buy it and then some how side load it?

I just installed the lite version on my stock GN through the web based market (market.android.com)

I made a titanium backup on My eris, then transferred the files over and restored them. Prolly an easier way, but it worked. Market doesn't recognize it tho, so won't be able to update. Gonna try a different ROM

That sounds like the culprit. I'm on 4.0.3 and no problems here.

Having this issue as well, on my Galaxy S II. I'm on a leaked ICS rom... this might be the reason lol.

Tip, downgraded from 404 to 403 and installs from market fine.

not HD tho

Hope it would be available to armv6 devices..

it force closes when you tap play again.

Force Closes on run again and crashes at random times during running
Galaxy Nexus LTE - AOKP build 28
I'm going to try other roms to see if its just a ROM issue, the game is HIGHLY addictive thats for sure. I like how much more responsive it is compared to the iOS version, much better on Android but the crashing is troublesome

Yep, Crashes occasionally, but I think thy will fix it shortly. Great game tho.

It runs brilliantly on CodeName Android 1.5.5. for me!

That a one thing I hate about android, almost every app and game aren't in HD its like you have a nexus for no reason.

crack
is not HD and it cracks everytime.... need a fix right now ¡¡¡¡
but a really great game

It runs fine overall. But it seems laggy when you are running fast (i.e >5000m)

I found out that instead of pressing "run again", if you press the "back" button the game tends to crash a lot less.
see if this works for you too.

I haven't had any fcs but I have had it randomly close out. Also, I noticed it holds a wake lock on orientation and magnetic sensors (which drains battery) even when its not open and not even showing a process in task manager. That alone pretty much made me uninstall it. Great game from what I played tho. Definitely gonna reinstall once they squash some bugs

Temple Run not showing in Google Play from phone
I tried to install Temple Run by visiting the Google Play store directly from the app on my Galaxy Nexus, but could not see the app in the store that way.
By pulling up the Google Play store on my desktop machine I was able to see and install the Temple Run app to my Galaxy Nexus.
I have tried the game a few times but it force closes every time I try play again or main menu after a run.
My questions to the xda community
1. why would the Temple Run game not show up in the play store on my device?
2. could the answer to 1 involve stability issues with the game on the device?
Device: Galaxy Nexus
Carrier: Verizon, 4G LTE
OS: Stock Android 4.0.2, ICL53F

1) I also couldn't find in the Play Store on my GNex, but I found if you search "Imangi Studios" instead of "temple run" the game pops up in the results.
2) It's more likely that since it had just come out, Play Store might not be showing the App in its top 100 results since they are a lot of apps with "temple" in its name, which has been downloaded a lot more, and thus is getting pushed up in the results when you search "temple run"

its in the play store its just pretty far down the list.

Probably it will be on the top of the list pretty soon

Compatibility errors in Google Play Store with custom ROMs?

Has anyone else had issues with custom ROMs on the toroplus and downloading some apps from Google Play?
There are a couple of apps that the Play store insists are incompatible with my JellyBeaned toroplus, but which the developer insists should work fine (and have verified toroplus in the developer console of the store).
Example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pepinonline.pjstreamer
Play insists that app is not compatible.
Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is that because I'm rooted and running a custom ROM Google Play isn't picking up my device properly. I've verified build.prop values and everything is as it should be (I think) as far as model and device values.

This happened to me on [ROM]|Purely AOSP|JB|Simple, Stock, Stable and Bugless...wouldn't let me get some apps. Ditched it cause of that. I haven't had any issues on Dreams and Shabby's ROM. Wrong place to post this thread though....

@Keegan99
I'm running Purely AOSP JB and have no issue installing your example app. Is there another example you want me to try ?

Bad! Bad thread maker!

What are you developing here? Nothing?
Why is it in development?
If you read forum rules you would know development is for developers to make threads

Now that this is in the proper forum... yes, I've had the issue with JellyBelly. I'm using JellyBro right now (for other reasons) without that same issue.

Google Keep crashing

Has anyone tried the new Google Keep app? Mine just FCs on launch.
Sent from my SPH-L900

Yeah works perfectly for me try to un installed and reinstall
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.

It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.

same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?

Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.

I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

Using jellybomb Rom v15 and Google keep works fine for me. Not sure it will replace evernote but time may tell.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

The latest NoWizMod (v1.4.6) has fixed the issue for me. It's a handy little cloud note app. I'm expecting Google to add a lot more features as time goes on.

Not on SGN II, but same behavior. Crashes on launch, every single time. Installed, re-installed, rebooted, et al. It's not liking the Holics rom I'm running it seems... That is strange... and would make it the first ever app to dislike this rom. Thoughts anyone ?

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.

Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?
