Hi guys,
Weird thing happened today, I was checking the Play store app for updates, there were about 10 of them.
I didn't update anything at the time.
About 10-20 minutes later I check again and I only see 3 updates available... when I search for those missing updates on the play store, the apps don't even come up. When I look on the play store on the PC, I see that all those apps (which are all already installed, from the play store) as being incompatible with my device... both free and paid apps.
I rebooted, cleared cache/davlik, but still the same..
do you know what went wrong, and what I can do?
Perhaps they're not compatible with 4.2.1 yet?

nah that's not it, I mean I was seeing an update for Beautiful widgets, which I have been using since 4.2 and when I check now there is no update, I can't find the app on the play store, and on PC it says it's incompatible... and eventhough it's installed on my phone, it doesn't show in the list of installed apps in the play store app. Yet I can still access the widgets and add more to my screen...
did you modify the dpi on your phone?

I am on Paranoid Android, I was on 720px / 220 dpi (for a very long time, and never had problems), the first thing I did was reset everything back to default. Still no go
BW is running fine on my GNex, running a custom build of MoDaCo's MCR - all stock values, of course!
well in the end there was an update to my ROM so just dirty flashed along with gapps and it seems back to normal.. weird what happened, but oh well.
Thanks for the help guys

The Ice cream Sandwich has a really mind blowing UI, Google tried to modify almost all system apps.
Here is some original app collections, which really works for Gingerbread & other older versions.
The Apps Collections
Android Market 3.2.0
Google Music 4.0.1
Google Maps 5.11.0
Street View 1.7.0.4
Google+ 2.0.0
Just install like a normal app. Will be updated as soon as more apps available.
If anyone has problems installing market 3.2.0, try this post. This may be helpful to you.

Note : There may be updated versions of the apps listed, but this is just a collection from Galaxy Nexus.
Any hope for the launcher? Or the browser? Or Somthing else interesting....
are those install APK, or just copy and replace over old APK ?
Market and Music installed ok.
Not having any luck with Maps and Street View. Do they even have any significant changes?
Maps is not 5.10.2
It's the ownhere/Brut.all 5.10.1 mod of the maps...

Thx. But the market not works on HTC Wildfire S.
Start the install and then:
"application not installed"
What is the problem ? :|
(This works only whit root -ed phones? )
Thanks you very much !
But I have the same prob than zoltank but for Music, Market et Google+ =/
It's not the first time i install the three but here, everytime "app not installed" and my phone is rooted so it's not that =/
Any ideas ?
try uninstalling the old apps before installing the new ones
Too bad no =(
Uninstall the Market, i came back on the 1st version on the Nexus but it's the same, now the update roll on and i'm again with 3.1.5.
No prob, that will coming in time =)
Thank you !
i was able to install everything except Market 3.2
i uninstalled the old one and wiped cache, kelvin, etc...
any ideas?
solved
rebooted the phone
then i was able to install
now that it's installed, i get Force Close every time i try to install something from market
going back to 3.1.5
Hi, if you are having trouble installing the market try this. Its what I did to get it working on my o2x
You will need root explorer

Market doesn't work on Galaxy S Plus
Thanks for these
Market works perfectly on rooted Flyer. The tiles fill out the screen nicer than 3.1.5. No force close issues. On edit: it drops an error when trying to get a non-free app....
G+ breaks the People (htccontacts.apk) app.
Music installs, but I use the HTC one so not much testing after install.
Maps, untested.
Street view, untested.
---
On edit: Maps installs and works. Street view errors on install.
G+ app works perfectly on stock N1 on 2.3.6, no adverse side effects. Been using it since it originally leaked a couple-ish weeks ago.

Hint for at least us Moto Blur users if you install the G+ apk then your contacts will force close if you try to open up a contacts info

My guess is the ones already in the first post are the only ones that are gonna install on gingerbread. You can take all the apps from the galaxy nexus dump, put them in a folder on your sdcard, and browse to it with root explorer. you'll see the only ones that have none default icons are the ones in the first post. the ones with app icons are the only ones that actually install. all other give parsing errors since you need ICS to install them.

Hi, I have a problem with the Play Store 3.5.15. In previous versions, when I went to 'My Downloads' section, the applications which I can update was displayed in the top on the list, and I was able to update, but with the version 3.5.15, when an application is updates, the section 'My Downloads', in the tab 'Installed', is showing nothing. So I can´t know if there are updates avalable or not

I've had updates show up at the top as usual twice now. 4.0.2 stock.
Yeah, updates don't show on mine either. Stock 4.0.2 GSM version.
Did you perform a manual update or was it a background update of the Play Store? I just got the 3.5.15 update pushed today so I don't know if I have any app updates.
The new Play Store is some missunderstanding. It doesn't show any updates for me and even better - now when you click "My apps" it will show every freakin' app you have installed ever. In my case that's hundreds of unsorted apps. It soooooooooooo fun to scroll over them all untill i can find apps that i have purchased and wanna use now after flashing new ROM. I don't know what drugs has Google started to buy for it's staff but clearly there's some negative effect.

I was able to experience a notification for updates on 3.5.15. In some cases though, I experienced what OP did. I'm thinking it just takes some time before Play Store eventually says, "hey dude, there's an update available on your app"
Yup same prob here... Google's usual teething problems.
Think the world is their QA.

I got the same problem. The solution for me is going to accounts when you are on the "my apps" page and select your google account, then your updates show. Its not a perfect solution but it works in the meantime when it hopefully gets solved.
been having issues ever since started using roms that include this version of play store. on current rom, i fixed my problem by using the market fix from lcd density modder pro. but then i tried to run a newer rom version and this trick stopped helping. was having all sorts of problems in installing apps - 921 error, unable to complete purchase error, and just the state where the download animation is going but it never finishes and installs.
Hey i came across a few apps that my friends had on there android that i wanted i searched Google play and i couldn't find it, after some research i came to the conclusion that my device Desire HD may be app restricted due to certain apps having compatibility issues and what not. So i cant see them in google store.
I researched and found a few so called "fixes" that i tired to no avail
i edited the build prop
i installed a "modded" google play
No luck, ive searched the net and im lost for any other way around it, so ive started this thread
My setup
*Desire HD
*running Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC1-ace
Any other info required just ask
Cheers

What DPI (LCD Density) are you using? If you changed it from the default of 240 that often causes problems with the Market. If you are not running at 240 then you should 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
Another issue could be the country you live in. For example, Google prevents Taiwan users from accessing paid apps. You can solve this by using Market Enabler, but you still need to do be at 240 DPI.
Hey thanks for the reply!
I've looked at my DPI in my build prop, it's already at 240 so I haven't touched that
And I've used market unlocked set it to US,
Its crazy I did everything!!, I forgot to mention that I tried the above techniques already
sorry no avail there
Any other ideas?
It seems just impossible for me??
If you are trying to get an app that Google doesn't want you to have in your country then faking your country won't help if you have to log into your Google account to get it.
The only other thing i can think of is to use another store like SlideMe or AppBrain. I have to use SlideMe to get 4Ext for example.

Hey, I tried appbrain, it shows the app I'm after!!!
When I press install takes me to Google play, and I get incompatible error, and I cant install
Seems weird my tones fully rooted, s-off and all, and I can't mod this, there has got to be a way.
Thanks for your help!!

Yes, if a different market redirects you to Google then it won't help. Try SlideMe.org, it seems to be completely separate from Google, but I've only used it for 4Ext so far.
Hey thanks for ur reply, i downloaded the app i want useing chrome and APK Downloader
And guess what the so called "incompatible" app works!!, I just want the convenience of every app on Google play!
Thank you!
So I've read all the post about Verizon Gnex not being able to get Google wallet. Has anyone tried it recently? It first happened when I was rooted I was able to update Google wallet from the market after side loading the application. So I decided to test it, I unrooted my Gnex and went to factory image 4.0.2 and it seems as if I can now download it from the market. Is this happening for anyone else?

Downloading it directly from the play store? No you haven't.
FWIW, I don't see it in the play store though. Although I have it installed anyway.

you can download it from the play store, but you have to go in a round about way. you have to user the browser to find the app, and keep using the browser until you are going to install it and then you pick google play.
thats how i did it and it installed fine on my vzw GN.

Another back door
Found another back door. I regularly use GoLauncher EX, which has it's own store. Through it I have was able to insall/update the app. Oddly, it directs me to the Play Store directly from the GoLauncher EX update notification where I was able to install.
Upon completion, I changed my launcher back to stock, went into the play store, and had to log in (? strange, right?), and was unable to bring it up in search results, and it did not show in the "installed" column of My Apps. It DID however show as installed, under the all apps section. Not sure if I'll be able to use it, or if my phone will self-destruct upon NFC tap. I'll update when I try it out.

I'm pretty sure Wallet is just available in market now for Gnex. At least, I'm able to just search it and install it now. I've done it multiple times over the past few months.
Edit: just checked, and it's NOT showing up in market now for me... but it IS still installed and working. I used it no more than an hour ago at Jack in the Crack.
Maybe Google tampered with it today.
or if you are just looking for it or rooted and need the one that now works and doesn't give UNSUPPORTED device error. I found one last month on here, can't remember where since there are like 6 different ones floating around. I posted my dropbox link so you can grab a working one.
How to install:
1) Use ADB, adb push it to /system/app
2) Use RootExplorer and paste it to /system/app
Google Wallet .apk

has anyone noticed that with the recent ICS leaks that alot of apps that were compatible with our phone are not now. On 4.0.3 leaks i could still get apps of the market, on the 4.0.4 leaks i can't. Example directv, on market says not compatible, walgreens app says not compatible. They were before, now they not. I have the apps in my dropbox so no biggie, but was just wondering if there is that much difference between 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 that would make apps not compatible anymore.

That is a good observation Isaac.
I'm willing to bet that the apps check the build version that is written into the build.prop file. I'm not having issues but if someone is and knows how to edit their build.prop file maybe change this line back to 4.0.3 to see if it works:
ro.build.version.release=4.0.4
Well, after backing up their rom first of course.
Edit: FYI, do not edit build.prop unless you know what you're doing. The system may not boot if this file is edited incorrectly.

Have you changed your dpi or installed a ROM that does? I am running AOKP latest and have no problem using Play Store Market apps. Perhaps open settings, manage apps, play store, clear cache then reboot?

If you change the dpi from 240, that will explain your problem. Change it back, clear Play cache, reboot. Should work fine.

Different devices have different dpi and that is part of what Play Store checks. Example: if I change my dpi to under 190, 128 specially, Google will display tablet apps. So, if your dpi doesn't match the phone that Google detects, it breaks.
In the Tablet mode ui thread, there is a hacked Play Store that automatically reports your dpi as 240 so that it doesn't break.
Yea changing the dpi back fixed it
