Several days ago I noticed the My T-Mobile app that lets me know how many minutes and texts I've used was not running. When I went to launch it, it gave me an error: "sorry, this version is not compatable with your device ", or something like that. It appears the app was" upgraded ".
Several reviewers in the play store are complaining of the same thing.
My phone is stock - no Root or anything.
Has anyone heard anything about this?

Apparently I don't have enough posts to put this in a thread where I could get this answered right away, so this will have to do. .
Coming from CommRom 1.3, I loaded TSM Resurrection 1.0 (EI20) on my phone last night and everything is working pretty well. I restored most of my applications and haven't had any hiccups until just now. One of the applications I restored is Madden 12, which I got from the Verizon VCAST app store. Apparently I need VCAST app store to run Madden. I tried searching for the app store on Android Marketplace, but it won't show up. I then tried via the vzw.com website and it tells me that "this item is not available on your carrier."
So I was initially thinking my carrier settings were wiped out (which didn't happen the last time I loaded a ROM). I tried *228 option 2 and that didn't help. But now I'm wondering if it's possible that the VCAST isn't showing up because I'm on 2.3.5. I also noticed that My Verizon Manager also doesn't show up in the Marketplace. I looked through my computer and it says one of the system requirements is to have Android 2.0 to 2.3.3. So could it not be showing up because my OS is too far ahead?
Hope someone has an answer for me. God bless these forums, I've learned so much on here already Any responses appreciated. Thanks.
Recently my wife purchased this inexpensive basic tablet which comes rooted out of the box, with ICS 4.0.3...pretty good overall.
One caveat is it does not come with gapps installed; no Market/Play Store, no gmail, nothing. Amazon Market, GetJar and one other lesser known alternative market instead. So my goal is to get the Market onto the tablet...
Having searched here at XDA I found this thread:
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621831
Using the method outlined above, I actually had the Market working fine for about 20 minutes, downloaded/updated a few apps, then started getting a "Cannot download due to an error" message on anything I tried to do. I have cleared Market data/cache, selected/re-selected my Google account within the Market settings, tried updating Maps, stood on my head and clucked like a chicken, basically anything I could find here or on the interwebs regarding this problem (its surprisingly common...just Google the "Cannot download due to an error" message). Anyway, no luck.
I went so far as to factory-reset the tab and start over; it didn't delete the Market app actually, and it did work again...for about 20 minutes.
My theory here is that the Market version I am installing via the thread above WORKS, but Google will go ahead and update it OTA within minutes and THAT new version, for whatever reason, does NOT work for me. Or, something is going horribly awry during said update.
I'm posting here in a general forum hoping to get some attention from experienced users who might have run into this issue before (again its widespread across many devices) and might have an idea on what else I can try to get this thing back on its feet.
If more info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks

Been using the modded Hulu apk tweaked by a poster on this site for almost a year, right up until lunch time today. I went to open it again, and am now getting the message that my device is not supported at this time.
I'm really over this- why would they not fix this so that their paying customers could use the service?
Mates,
I don't know if the Kevo/Kwikset app folks are dumb, lazy or if there is some fee they have to pay to support new phones, but hear my tale of woe, with a happy ending (a minstrel on a mandolin is playing in the background as you read this).
I put Kevo locks everywhere when they first came out with android support. When they work, it is one less key I have to carry, one more thing my everpresent phone can do. They were announced as partners for the Gear S2 which, as we all know, is bull. The tech writers who said it worked were clearly Samsung lapdogs.
The Kevo website says that the app won't work on the Galaxy S7 edge but it did. Right from the start, right out of the gate. Then T-Mobile rolled out a patch last week and it stopped. Nothing. Bupkus. Google Play says the app is not supported by my device.
A little bit of searching led to the actual newest Kevo apk. I downloaded it, deleted the old app, installed it and voila! Back in business. The new version supports remote open and close, which I haven't checked yet- I bought an upgraded lock but it isn't installed.
So, there you have it. I have no idea why Kevo/Kwikset/Unikey didn't test with the newest phones, why they don't know it works or whatever. Their developers are much more interested in supporting iOS and the sheeple that use it, but it will work for us too!
where did you find the latest? i looked for almost 2 hours and the best i could come up with was the 0.99 beta in the google groups. had to sideload an app that lets you change your device to trick Play into letting you install it.
Googled Android kevo apk, found version 1.2.57.2p everywhere. I presumed that was the latest since it has the remote buttons on it.
yeah i saw those results as well, but none of the apk downloaders worked for me. several even said their 'device' was incompatible, which was the same problem i was having.
I'm in the same boat. I have an S7 Edge and while kevo still works with just the proximity and tap lock to open...I've never been able to get the tap to unlock/lock work. Even on my moto360 (gen1) kevo force closes non stop. Another problem I had was my old S5 was on Lollipop and it worked, but then Tmo rolled out the update to MM and now it doesn't even see the lock. I've had multiple emails to Kevo and the only thing I get is that "We're sorry, we have no plans to support MM".
If you got anything to help out with Kevo working on Marshmallow, then I'd appreciate it as well!
I might be a little late on the the subject but I had the Kevo app since the beginning from my Note 4 on KK all the way up to My Note 5 on MM. I rarely use my Moto 360 (1) to open the door but this time I did and the watch went haywire and kept showing a notification indicating that the app is no longer working. So I decided to uninstall the Kevo app and then proceeded to sync the watch and phone, stopping the annoying notification. When I went to the app store to reinstall I found the "phone not compatible"..
Well, decided to sideload to have the Kevo app to look and work the same way I had it before.. after several attempts I figured it out. 1st sideload the Kevo 0.9.58p apk, sign in, then sideload the updated version 1.2.57.2p and it will finally look and feel like the updated one on Lollipop. Sefar is right, why the devs were so lazy in checking for compatibility is beyond me but it works.!!

I've never seen this "app" before. It just appeared today. Looks like it was pushed down from Sprint. It's called simply "Carrier Call Utility" and the icon is the Sprint logo. Version 6.0.015
It can't be opened, stopped, or uninstalled.
Does anyone know what it is? Is it new or did I just not see it before?
Carrier Call Utility
I do hope someone comes up with an answer for this. I just this morning (04/08/17) saw that it had "successfully been installed" on my phone as well. I have an ex son in law who installs imsi catcher quality spyware on the phones of his ex family members, so it is especially worrying for me. I can't imagine that it is something I need since the phone has worked fine without it all this time, so even if it's not something dangerous, it is 17.45mb of space being used by something utterly without merit at best and a liability at worst...
Anyone have any ideas? Talking to Sprint is not likely to get an answer that makes any sense.
It appeared on my phone too. Really annoying. I tried to find out what it is online, and finding nothing but this thread, I decided to just pull its plug if I could. I went into Settings, General, Apps and found it there. "Force Stop" and "Uninstall" weren't active for this app, so I clicked on the upper right dots and was able to disable the app that way. It showed way too many permissions for it to access my files and information anyway, which never makes me happy. It said that all data would be lost if I did, and asked if I wanted to revert back to the old app. Since I didn't ASK for this app, I clicked okay for it to remove and replace it. The app was replaced with the old Sprint Zone app. Which I never used anyway.
I check my phone just now, 4/11/17, I don't have this app....
I have Boost Mobile and just now it was force installed and a message said boost zone is now my boost. I unistalled app update for carrier xall utility and unindtslled my boost and carrier call utility disappeared but nothing shows in uninstalled apps. I cleared my browsers cache and rebooted phone.
Update to my reply: It has reinstalled on my lgk3 phone three times now. I uninstall "my boost" which reverts back to "boost zone" which gets of call carrier utillity from my installed apps. But it just reinstalls again later.

Have to agree with Annoyed Too; it is another version (maybe?) of the Sprint Zone app, which like Annoyed Too, I never used. I never even opened it to see what it supposedly did. I can force stop mine after doing the reversion back to original app, but this is almost as annoying as Sprint Optimizer, the function of which is evidently to eat your battery. That's another one I have to keep force-stopping and can't get rid of...
I have boost mobile too and lookout security said it was safe to install

Oh, I'm sure it's safe enough, as it is a Sprint program, but the point is that it is there taking up resources and space with little if any benefit to the phone user. It is 17.45MB of uselessness that I'm certain no more than 0.5% of the population will ever even open to access and about 10% of THAT number will never use at all. I actually don't know a single person that has used Sprint Zone for anything, ever! More than half the people I speak to regularly have Sprint and none of them ever uses it; most of us have no real idea what it is supposed to be for, lol!
When I uninstalled the updates, it reset itself back to the old Sprint Zone.
Same thing happened to me. I have Boost Mobile so the app on my phone is called My Boost. I reverted back to the factory version yesterday (Boost Zone) and discovered that such reversion only lasts 24 hours. My Boost was reinstalled. Looks like I need to root, though I don't want to because I bricked my previous phone.
I've never rooted a device simply because I figure that what you said would be exactly what would happen to me; the device would be a paperweight at the end of the process. I just wish we had a little more control over what ends up on our phones. If we wanted the particular software, we would research the apps, choose apps useful to us as individual users and install them ourselves. It seems like they would get that the fact that we didn't do that means we don't want the app on our devices. Of course, what WE want rarely plays a role in what the carrier companies decide to clutter up our phones with...
It just popped up as an update on my phone a little bit ago. I pressed on it and it disappeared. Had to go into settings to find it. This is the only link that comes up when I googled it. Then I had a notification pop up saying is the new Sprint Zone. I'm about sick of these updates and random stuff being added to my phone without my permission. Hell, I have an S6 so I can't install a sd card for more space so please stop. We should be allowed to delete applications as we please unless they are really needed period.
