Missing apps in the Play Store?

Did a search and found some similar issues but mine seems a little different, so here goes:
This happened before when I was on the Darkstar ROM, switched to CM9 and it worked fine for weeks, until now. My list of installed apps in the store suddenly went from 82 to 36. The apps that are missing now say they are not compatible with my device. Also, the Movies button on the main store page is just gone, there's a blank space where it was.
I'm guessing for some reason the phone isn't being recognized as an Epic Touch. It's odd because this happened just in the middle of the day, I hadn't been doing anything weird and I hadn't just rebooted. I've tried unlinking my Google account and signing back in again but that didn't change anything. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Any help is appreciated!

If you can download (or already have) Titanium Backup, you could try the Market Doctor and see if it will relink the apps.

Gave it a shot but unfortunately that didn't fix it. But thanks for the idea!
I think the main problem here is that for some reason the store sees my phone as something other than what it is. I'm not quite skilled enough to troubleshoot or fix this myself though. Any other suggestions are more than welcome!

Try using Device Spoofer on the Play store to spoof your own device. Just reboot and down load 1 free app for it to register the new device. Reboot and check your market again.

I had the exact same problem... and I tried the spoofer and it didn't work.
1st make sure your screen res is native.. i think it's 240
2nd the only way I found to get them back was to pull the .apk's from another backup I had on my desktop and then sideload them all... they work fine now.. but not sure about updating them..
hope that helps

Just remembered that I had the same thing happen the first time I installed ICS, the market said that Astro's key wasn't compatible with my phone. I had to go back to GB to get it to work. I think it is something to do with the screen res and the version because changing the resolution can make it do the same thing.
<JacK>

The problem is most likely that you've changed the screen resolution. You can set the resolution back to default and download programs or the easier fix although i believe it is not free is to download lcd modder pro. It fakes a lower resolution for market so that all the apps show up again.

Could be the screen res but what about those with this issue who have never changed their screen res? My wife and I could have the exact same roms however, hers will DL any app and mine will show a lot of apps being incompatible.
I've gotten on the play store on a computer and even though it's showing my phone as the SPH-D710 the app will still say it's not compatible. I think the issue is with the app store - even before the update it existed.

Same here
I'm having the same issue and noticed it wasn't an issue until I started flashing leaked ICS builds. I generally stick to sfhubs one click releases. Changing the screen rez back to stock didn't help either and the restore in TB didn't do anything.
It's annoying that the market hides apps that won't work on the phone but it'll show the result on the web site and list as incompatible. I'm not a fan of that sort of hand holding. I bet if I flash back to ginger it'll be fine.
Ug, I miss my nexus. I'll never go back to a none nexus android phone again. I don't care if the specs are better.

After changing the resolution back to 240, go to settings > applications > all
Force stop, clear cache, clear data for both Google Shopper and Google Services Framework.
Then reboot and open play store and agree to TOS (you should see YouTube/videos in the list of TOS if you did it all right).
After that, you can change your dpi back and reboot.
I tend to have this same problem and notice that the Movies/Videos option goes missing the same time I start having the problems.

Dude, that was it exactly. I force closed/clear data on the Google play store service and the Google services framework; tis all fixed now! Nice trick. I'm gonna remember to do that next time I need to run a full titanium backup as well.

You referring to the ro.build.product? It says SPH-710 now, I'll have to check it when it breaks the links again and try editing that before clearing data and such. For the curiosities and giggle ****s. Rom toolbox is really handy. Thank ya.

Car Home

I had car home back when I had my vibrant. Wondering if there is a version for the S3?

For whatever reason Google has limited the phones that can download this from Google Play - it's been a long-time favorite of mine...
There are many other car home replacements on Play, but if you want the official Google car home just use Google and search for "download google car home apk" - it's pretty available.
Good luck.

Nothing only for the GS3, but you can get any of the ones from the market and they should work just fine.

look in the general section. There was a topic about car home and there was a link to the APK.

here you go. Ive had this for a very long time. Lol

Same here. When I look in App Manager, it's there but the only option is to uninstall.

Probably has to be installed to /system/apps to work...

If it is one of the ones I have used in the past them it doesn't have an icon and just auto opens when you put the device in an official dock. If you don't have an official dock then I suggest using one of the others from the market.

I don't know why. I pulled it using titanium. Ive had it backed up for a very long time. So how about I pull my whole backup then restore it using titanium? You just gotta put the files in wherever your titanium directory is.
Sent from my SGH-T999

Download the files and put them in sdcard > titanium backup. Restore using titanium and it should show.
You can also try pushing to system/app and set to rw-r--r- for permission.

To create the shortcut for Car Home (after installing it) you need to download "Anycut" from Play and install it. Once installed select: New Shortcut - Activity - (Scroll and Select) Car Home (or anything) for it to place an icon shortcut on your home screen.

I wish there was a map and music player plugin for torque.

Hey Deez... I want to THANK YOU for posting this APK. I was so annoyed when I pulled up Car Home on Google Play and it said it was incompatible with ALL of my devices (which all run ICS) so I am grateful, once again, for you as well as XDA in general!

Apps crashing and scroll lagging - anything specific in Note 3 that caused this?

I am coming from Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 and I have installed many apps with no issues. When I moved to Note 3, the same apps that were running just fine in the Nexus 5 and 7 start to have problem:
- Apps opened up, perform certain activity, crashed
- Apps opened up, vertical and horizontal scrolling is really laggy
These apps are like Pocket Informant (calendar app), Pocket Money (financial app), and Shiprack (package tracking), just to name a few.
Seeing all these apps functions well in the Nexus series, the problem seems to point to something within the Note 3.
I am rooted, stock, Knox is NOT tripped. I turned off all animation (0) in the Developer settings. I frozen some built-in apps (see below). Is there anything in Note 3 that I need to UNFROZE or anything I need to do to fix this problem? It's kinda hard to like the Note 3 when the same apps that works well in other phone just quit working...

You froze over 70 apps off the stock ROM? I have at most 20 and don't have the issues you are having. Guess you froze something that is needed.

Yeah, many of these are widgets, or things like Google+, which I froze in my old Nexus phone and tablet with no issue.
I scrutinized each app that I froze to figure out what are its function to make sure it won't cause problem. But it seems something is tied with TouchWiz or vice versa. For example, if i turned off animation, rearranging apps in folder sometimes crash TouchWiz, which is bizarre by itself.
Do you mind letting me know which apps did you freeze? Screenshot is appreciated.

Thanks, Man! Sorry for the delay in replying, the new Tapatalk notification screen is not very intuitive. I.e. now I see each post instead of the forum title, so i got a bazillion entries...
Anyhow, could you repost the image? It didn't show in the forum.

It is in your reply above. I can see it fine. Using tapatalk 4

Looks like AdAway is blocking tapatalk image hosting... that's interesting...
Anyways, I can see it from my desktop. Looks like you use many of Samsung apps (Cloud, Backup, Group Play, etc.) since those were not frozen.
I am going to unfroze Samsung stuff to see if it make any different...

I don't use them, but they have not been a bother. I only freeze apps that cause problems, like Knox, or snoop around like the T-Mobile app.

How about battery life? Don't those stuff keeps running in the background?

If I do a hard reset, will:
- all frozen apps are unfrozen?
- all xposed module uninstalled and system settings like battery icon reverted back?
I am rooted, stock with no KNOX trip
I may have to do this to fix the issues I am having.

Just unfreeze everything. Just remember, Nexus means pure AOSP. Samsung means TouchWiz, which has a ton of things needed to run "correctly."

Just because something is running in background doesn't mean it is using the battery. This phone has lot of memory compared with most so for the most part it doesn't really matter.
Things that use the battery a lot are apps that use the Radio, actively use GPS and bluetooth being on. I only have BT on when I am using it in the truck. I always have GPS on because I don't use many apps that actively use it (Google maps uses it when you are navigating or have it active on the screen, but stops using it when you put it in the background).
Battery life is really in hands of the user and how they use their phone and what apps they choose to use.
For me, I get typical 15hrs of life in my phone (that would be down to the 20's% area) which is more than adequate for me.
I don't have time to play games and my phone is required for business so if the phone doesn't ring when someone calls, notify me when a page comes in or I cant make a call when I need to or access data that I need to access, it is useless to me.
As a result, I don't load different roms, play with kernals and do a lot of tweaking because that typically ends up with something not working.
I do have the ability to quick charge my phone at just about every where I go. So if I know I am going somewhere where I will be hanging out for a long time, I can do a quick charge to make sure I can do it. My truck, each computer station at work and home has 2amp charging available which charges as quick as the original charger that comes with the phone. I rarely need to do that however.
When I rooted for 4.4.2 I blew the Knox flag. No longer cared. At one time I thought I might need it for work but that is not going to be the case and I am confident that if I have a real hardware issue it will be covered with the coverage that I have on the phone.

Yeah, I have done that, but some issues still happen, namely the apps that I use. It could be just the apps, but I am trying to narrow down the problem.
I have used Samsung phone before (Galaxy Note 1 and S4 Active) and even HTC phone. Freezing built-in apps never caused this kind of issue (3rd party apps from Google Play crashed), as long as I don't freeze those I know is essential (for example, I won't freeze "Phone" or "Touchwiz"). If you see from my screenshot above, although I freeze a lot of apps, most are widgets and apps like Google Music, etc.
However, It seems that with Note 3, Samsung make Touchwiz more integrated.

[UPDATE]
Unfreezing ALL the apps I previously froze did not fix the problem. I rebooted, pull the battery, etc.
So I did a hard reset and...lo and behold, all the issues I had disappeared - the apps downloaded from Google Play no longer crashing or have scrolling lag.
There must be something in Touchwiz that "hooks" to these 3rd party apps, though I don't know what it is. It is quite interesting that Samsung will do this (first Knox, now this?), when I didn't have this problem with previous Samsung phone when I installed the SAME EXACT apps and Xposed module.
I will try to freeze the built-in app one-by-one and see if there is any issue there.

SwipePad - edge launcher!

Just a quick shout-out for this app. I was looking for something to replace the usefulness of the Note Edge application shortcuts, and came across SwipePad. It's pretty darn good for swiping in from an edge on the S6 Edge and launching apps from anywhere. I guess this would work on any phone, but feels so natural swiping over the curve to get this. Loving it!

PS I'm not affiliated to the app, in case you're thinking that..

Thanks bud

Thanks mate, works really well, can't figure out how to take a screenshots of the launcher though

It's the very bottom option under "look and feel" when you select the notification. If you turn off the notification completely, swipe pad will fall out of memory and you'll have to manually start it sometimes. I just choose hide. Never leaves memory and i don't have the ugly icon

Thanks, nice!

Hello XtraWater,
I have used this app since my SGS2. Sadly, I wiped my phone and as you said, Swipepad cannot be found in the play store anymore. I downloaded an APK from a third party site, which works (I'm rooted). But I am unsure how to get the addons to work after installing them from the third party site :-/
I purchased the morespaces add-on previously and that is not in Google Play anymore as well.

Hello
Swipepad started to behave weird. It needed an update... So I gave up. I guess I still have the backup from the more space add-on. I made the backup with titanium backup.
However, in the meanwhile I switched to xposed edge. The app is nice. Plenty of features. The responsiveness although is not perfect. There is sometimes a delay of a second or two. I don't know if there is a way to prioritize the app. I am on Resurrection remix.

Thanks, I'll try out edge since I have Xposed as well. I was looking for Swipepad alternatives today actually, but the results are all dated since this app is so old.
In the meantime, I'm attempting to make the Swipepad add-ons system apps based on a suggestion from this thread. My TI backup was wiped along with the rest of my phone. I may have a copy on my desktop when I get home. If not, can you send me a TI copy of yours?

Sure, let me know when you need the backup.
That edge app is actually very easy to use. Nevertheless, it took a while till I figured it out. At the beginning it's a bit counterintuitive.

Have you installed any apps recently? I'd start there. It probably asked for some permissions, such as notification access, so if you see anything unusual in there that could be it.

It was the same for me. Touchpal is one of the greatest keyboard-apps IMHO, but lately they changed in the wrong direction with unwanted ads like 'Daily Summary' or 'Charging Lock Screen' or 'AppLock'.
I uninstalled it because of that.

Or the ES File Explorer app that recently admitted to presenting Ads in the lock screen.

But mainly, who kept the app(s) causing this issue? It'd be nice to know if anyone did and if this was a serious issue (which I doubt) or should i have read this entire thread plus the article before posting this?

Try Snapseed, Google acquired it because it was considered the best free photo editing app.
No point using an app that has that lock screen adware. They deserve to be removed from the Play Store for violating the rules of displaying ads outside of their own app.
