Incompatible games - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I've had my g3 for a couple of days now and some of the games i used to play such as bubble witch saga 2 are incompatible with the g3. They don't even appear on the play store, i have to click on the google links.
Is it basically just a case of waiting until they get updated or is there anything i can do?

Email the devs for any app you find that doesn't work, the app itself will be fine they just need to update their play store listing to allow the new resolution.

Same thing with the ESPN SportsCenter app. You'd probably have luck contacting the devs with smaller apps, but with some of the bigger ones, it's probably just a waiting game.

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)?

[Q] Sideloading apps and Google Play

Hi guys
I was given an apk from Gameloft as a "gift". It is normally a paid app on google play. Is there a way to have the play store recognize my app so I can install it from there going forward?
Thanks!
As far as I know, Google Play will recognize the app even though you've sideloaded it.
You won't be able to get upgrades from the play store, but it will recognize the app is installed.
Thanks much =]
Too bad I'd love for the play store to be my one stop shop for the app going forward

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!

Jelly Bean Outside US new restrictions?

So I have been using 4.1 on my Gnex for the past couple of days (Outside the US).
Installed Play Movies and Google Earth from US market using market enabler.
I am unable to see or open these apps even though they are installed on my phone.
I even got an update for play books.
The open links in the play store have disappeared and the apps are not shown in the drawer either.
I can confirm they are installed and the issue only affects 'US Play store only' apps.
Highly disappointed, anyone else facing this issue and any solutions?
This is not an ussue..
Where do u live ? I live in Brazil and google cannot sell books here yet, so the app doesnt work

Everything working fine in UK
I'm in India, i understand not being able to use services not available in the country. But i'm not able to see or open the app. Even Google earth seems to be affected by the issue.

I am in India too, and I managed to install the Play Books and Play Movies app through the Google Play website. I was also able to install Google earth.
In Play Books and Movies, if you click the market button, it just takes you to the apps store and not to the respective app sections though..
Found a fix!
Not sure why none of you are facing this issue but I tried stock 4.1 and awesomebeats.
Anyway I noticed the apps that were invisible in the drawer were highlighted blue in titanium backup. I selected the "Defrost" option for each in titanium and those apps are now available. Thanks for the replies guys.

tablet apps in the play store that aren't available to install?

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.
