[Q] sgs2 not compatible with Google Maps 5.7.0

Hi,
I try to update Google Maps to version 5.7.0, but Android Market claims that "This app is incompatible with your android."
regards

I got update notification from Market itself. I chose to update and it works well. Not sure why it is giving you this error.

I installed after using Market Enabler and changing the country to USA.

Thanks, problem solved.

Just had the same thing - strange.
Used market enabler to fake location but no joy.
found the apk here
Installed fine and seems to work perfectly

why is it not compatible in the first place??
the sgs2 has the fantastic hardware (dual core and ample ram) and the latest android version.
why slower phones able to support but not the s2?

There is no problem with the phone! It's perfectly compatible with the latest google maps version.
It's a problem of some locations, as not all locations have access to the latest google maps version. Android market will check your location first and if it is not entitled for an upgrade you will get this error message.
The workaround is to fake your location as mentioned in previous posts.

I'm on 5.9.0 which was pushed through the market. No probs! BTW, I'm in the Netherlands.

Here is the cause of my problem - running a DPI that differs from the norm

for me was the dpi. Change to stock (240dpi) and everything is fine

I doubt that's the issue. I run 210dpi and i can install it through the market. Even if the online (desktop) market says 'incompatible with your device' you can still search it and install.

Guys i need help this is really weird.

Me and my friend both have a galaxy nexus. Running 100% stock 4.0.2
Same baseband same version number blah blah blah...
I had his phone earlier and noticed his music app was now called play music but mine was still just music.
I tried to search for the app on the market but it doesnt show up.
If i go on the market from a PC it shows up and says its compatible with my device.
I then noticed that my play movies was missing from my app drawer.
Again i loaded up market and there it was but it says installed!!!
I clicked on the app and it says update. I click update and it just says "error your order is being processed" and then it never updates.
I can open the app from the market but it doesnt show up on my phone at all.
It wont even show up if i go into setting>apps> and look under the all apps tab.
Can anyone help me out with this? What the hell is up with my phone???

Have you tried to clear the Google Play (Market) cache? Rebooted phone?

Yeah i cleared google play store cache and data and turned phone off for 30 minutes while i was working and its still the same.

Try getting 'market enabler' and temporarily spoofing the T-mobile network (US), then see if your able to update.

Update...
I logged onto the market through my PC and it let me install the play movies app to my device no problem.
The play music app though says installed and if I click to install again it says it will be installed but it never does.
This must be available in the UK because my friend has it on his device running exact same firmware as me...
Why the hell won't this thing install!!?!?!?!?

Google Music is not available in the UK yet. The app comes pre installed but is not available when looking at the market. If your having issues downloading or updating from the market then install it manually (apk here!)

So im supposed to have the purple headphones icon thats just called "music" right?
Not the gold headphones?
I just quizzed my friend about it to see if theres something hes not telling me and he swears hes still 100% stock and hasnt done anything to get the play music apk.
if you could just confirm that im supposed to have the purple headphones icon called music that would be great.
Thanks for replies guys really appreciated.

This Logo?
This is what the logo was until it was rebranded to Google Play Music. Which is now this logo
Both of these logos are for the same app, just different versions (with no actual feature differences).
Your friend may have had the newest version of google music pushed to his phone. This happened to me too. But don't worry, your not actually missing anything.

Yeah thats right i have the grey and orange icon ( sorry for some reason though it was purple ) and my friend has the gold icon.
LOL i have just noticed at the very bottom of the description of the app on the market it says available in the US only... Wish i read that earlier <<noob>>
I guess i just leave it then and see if it updates in its own time.
thanks for the replies you was very helpful.
Ill hit the thanks button when i get home. Im on a work computer that has 100 year old internet explorer on it so it doesnt display the page properly.

nope it's not only available in the us. I live in Germany and today I've got an update which installed play music play books and play movies. they don't work here either but I still got that update.

Thats interesting. Are you sure your not spoofing your carrier for the market? Otherwise Google might be rolling the app out outside of the states now

OK update...
The music app showed up in my market as an update just now so I have the play music version....
I still can't get the play movies to show up in the my apps part of the play store. If I search for the app manually it shows up and says installed. It just doesnt show up as installed in the my apps part.
And yeah they must be pushing the app out to other places now. I can't see how you sync though unless that's not available yet still for UK .

Are you talking about syncing your own collection via Google Music in the UK? It is possible because I've done it... and its awesome!! Just have a search on Google for 'google music uk' or something and I'm sure you'll find a tutorial. (Be warned, depending on your library size it may take a while to upload your music. Mine took about a month off and on)

I'm not too sure really. I can find it on the market so it's not a regional issue. Just find the apk online and install it manually. If you can't find it I'll be happy to upload it just let me know.

Nono,
I have the app installed no problem from the market.
The issue is if i go into the "my apps" part the app isnt listed as installed on my device.
But if i do a manual search for the app as if you was looking for something new to install it shows up in the list and says installed.
Im wondering why its not showing in the "my apps" part of the market?

Oh right. Well I just had a look on mine and I can't find it either. It could either be a bug within the market or a feature that google added (for some unthinkable reason). But I'd guess everyone has this issue. Nothing to worry about though really

[Q] Sky Go on AFTV

Hello,
I have downloaded the Sky Go app and the Sky Go Tablet app to my AFTV. The Tablet one doesn't work. The other one does work when I "hide my root", when I try to log in it says that it is currently incompatible. Is there anyway you can fool the app into thinking that the AFTV is a different type of device?

Hey - I also tried this a while back, pre being rooted, got to login screen and obviously got 'device not compatible' but thanks to the good folk of XDA I came across Market Helper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/videos-how-to-root-mod-hack-amazon-fire-t2800683/post54136290
Have not tried Sky Go yet but I reckon it should work. I have the Play Store set up and have been able to update all my apps and have downloaded new apps which had previously shown incomparable. This would be a good win if it does work.
I see on their website they say it doesn't work on rooted devices. You say you 'hid your root'?

Yes, I used "Hide My Root" from the Play Store.

Did you try Market Helper? Does that work?

Maybe when the UK version of the FireTV gets released, SkyGO will become available.

No still doesn't work for me. Sky Go app (not tablet app), markethelper set to HTC One and used the app 'hide my root'. Still showing device not compatible.

Directv app in UK

Hi all,
I have a 2nd gen FireTV, live in the UK, and I'm trying to install directv (not directv now). I've installed the tablet version from 1mobile market and that opens ok, let's me accept disclaimer, but then tells me my version is out of date.. When downloading newest version (5.0.107) from aptoide, it just doesn't open. Sometimes the disclaimer page loads for a second, but then it just closes again
I not 100% sure I have the right version for the FireTV
I have a US VPN connected
Any ideas?

Try APKPure &/or APKMirror. Make sure you pick the right ARM or compatible Android version.

I would choose the tablets one just for the probably built-in landscape mode & the size of the channels guide alone.
Both versions seem to have been updated on the same day. Although they have different version numbers.

If your device is rooted. You might wanna try the XPosed Holo Themer module. See if that helps to open the App.
Try the non-tablet one next.
Could also be related to not having the PlayStore Services on our FTV's.
I tried the APKMirror tablet APK since it suppose to be nodpi. But it crashes as soon as it tries to load the agreement.
Tried the phone version too. That one crashes quicker. Will try to see if Holo Themer helps the Tablet App load later.

Question HBO Max Not Working

Anyone using HBO Max on their new Fold 3? I have it through ATT. Everytime I try to log in, it takes the password, but nothing happens. Every other device has no issues.
Update/Solution: You need to sideload an older version. Make sure you turn of auto-update.
Use version v50.30.3.265 06/11 from https://apkpure.com/hbo-max-stream-and-watch-tv-movies-and-more/com.hbo.hbonow/versions.

doesnt work on on the fold, or flip 3.

That's strange, here in Austria, where I have to use a VPN to be able to use HBO Max it works flawlessly on my Fold 3.

The app itself works, it has to do with something during log in connecting to AT&T.

I had the same problem on AT&T with my unlocked ZFold 2. Uninstall the app and install it again from APK mirror site. It worked for me.

Been using it for years, for me it's the best (though quite expensive).

Guys I figured it out. You need to sideload an older version. Make sure you turn of autoupdate.

Greetings from Springfield, MO!

Working in Lafayette, IN also,
AT&T
App version 50.45.0.87 downloaded from Play Store.

Having the same issue here. Attempted to download the older apk and the app would only point me to downloading the newer version again. Can't get signed in through AT&T.

it works fine on mine..
submit an error report on members app > + button > error report or report it to HBO Max

Mine stopped working again after HBO is forcing you to update to the latest. Kind of frustrating.

This solution doesn't work because as soon as you open the app it pops up an HBO message forcing you to update the app to the latest version.

HBO Max Fix
For those who still can't get HBO Max to work, I finally found a way to fix HBO Max on the Fold 3. I have HBO Max through ATT. You need to create a HBO Max standalone account using the same email as the ATT account. When you log in, the app...
forum.xda-developers.com
I posted a new thread for the fix. This works.

I have a different issue. I can log in just fine, but can't type a search within the app. I can type 2 characters. As soon as I type the 3rd the app crashes. Uninstall/reinstall doesn't fix it. Latest version from Google Play Store. Otherwise it works fine and I can browse, select and watch a movie, cast a movie, log in and log out, everything. Just can't search. Both inner and outer screen.
