Trouble installing some apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Droid Incredible and had MIUI installed on it and installed some apps like normal. Well, I started getting tons of FC errors so I wiped clean and started over with MIUI + Tiamat. Well, some of the apps like Facebook and Textfree don't show up in my market. In the desktop market they show up as installed and I can't download them on either market. How do I fix this?

under settings, uninstall updates for market and clear everything (for market only) and see if that works

I tried that twice now. They just don't show up in the market.

[Q] Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

I did this..I couldn't run Yahoo fantasy football app
1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

Missing Apps in "My Apps"

Hello,
i installed the market form ICS (i know its not optimized for tablets).
And suddenly all apps were disappeared from the list, all i got only this: (see attachment)
When i delete the app and use the stock app, all apps appear in the list but the market itself doenst work. So I get only the "My Apps" List :/
So I tried the 3.1.5 Market, which is actually optimized for tablets - but still no apps :/
maybe clearing your Market cache will help?
Just tried, nope :/
I have the same problem on my evo. I use Old Market, and it works like a charm. But it isn't as streamlined as the new one.

Did you remove the My Apps (vendor.apk) and Market (finsky.apk) before adding the new vendor.apk?
I have the new 3.3.11 release from android police running without any issues.

[Q] Market "My Apps" Screen Shows Up White...

After installing the updated Google+, I started having a ton of data connectivity problems. I was able to uninstall Google+ and that seems to have fixed those issues. The one remaining issue I'm having is that whenever I go to "My Apps" in the market, all it shows is a white blank screen. I can download and install apps just fine (and even update them) but I can NOT get to the my apps screen. I was on Market 3.1.5 when this started. I've tried clearing Market data, market cache, changing Google accounts, clearing cache and dalvik from CWM, uninstalling and reinstalling the market via TiBu (both with and without data) and even updating to market 3.3.11 which is posted in the Apps and Themes section - all to no avail. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on Motorola Atrix, CM7 not beta not nightly version with faux123's 1.45GHz kernel.

Been having the same problem here (on two different ROMs) on an HTC Droid Incredible. Have done multiple reflashes; nandroid restores, etc., but since "MyApps" disappeared earlier this week, absolutely zero solutions.
Was banging my head against the wall until I discovered (ironally, of course after Googling) a recent thread on DroidForums about the problem. Nobody has solved it; the new market doesn't fix it. And I can't believe that it hasn't become a bigger deal in the Android community if it's widespread.
One recommended solution I haven't tried is to scrap market and go with AppBrain until Google gets their act together. Another is to freeze Market Updater. Haven't tried that myself.
UPDATE: Okay, now I *have* tried the freeze Market Updater method and that has zero effect. I've filed an issue at Google's site for whatever that's worth.
Try this: go into market app on phone, search an app that is allready installed on your device. Uninstall it with market app and then reinstall it again from market and reboot your phone.
Don't wipe any data or cache! That's very important!
After rebooting go to market and open "My Apps"...no you should see all your installed apps.
This works for me at each time.
Nope. Was worth a try. Meanwhile, engaging with the techie at Google got me the "are you using an OS other than the one authorized by HTC."
Oh, pulease.

sorry i tryed, but my apps remain white!
Same to me :-(
White Applist. Installing new Stock-ROM (Galaxy 2). Apps could be seen. After restore with TB, Applist is white again. This morning on my Galaxy Tab (never touched this): Applist is also white. Bull**t. Using App-Center meanwhile fore updating.

I solved the prob by deinstalling Black Markets on device. After this wipe the data of the Android Market and your Apps will be shown.
After the problem persisted over 3 different ROMs, except an AOSP ROM I just didn't like, I simply switched to AppBrain to get Market functionality.
It'll work until Google fixes the issue.
Try to deinstall other markets, especially "black markets" and wipe the data from the Android Market. It works!
yeah!! thanks. The problem is the black market... searching alternatives markets...
stupid

[Q] BETA ICS 4.0.X - Team DRH

Has anyone been able to update to google play? I keep getting error 101 and 491.

Have you tried applications management, force stop market, clear data, do same with Google framework. Reboot, run market. If not search for Google Play. Apk. Download, intall and repeat above

DAE have most apps report they are incompatible with their gtab? Its liike the ics beta doesn't have the so called market fix?!?!
No problems here. Google Play updated just fine, and most apps I am looking for show up with the default settings.
With the ICS Beta 1.0, you can go into ROM Control and change the footprint to be seen as different tablets, such as the Xoom and Transformer.
Make sure to Force Stop the Market (Play Store) app and clear data (also check to see if Market Updater needs to be force closed). You may also have to force stop Google Framework and clear its data as well.
If you change footprints, you have to clear market data so it will load the new footprint.
Try upgrading to the latest gapps package TeamDRH released. It has google play built in.
This worked thanks!

Select the widgets tab from your app drawer then drag and drop.
Loving this ROM, it installed with no issues. Multitouch gestures are not working at all for me (which would be fine if I didn't have apps that seem to require it).
Has anyone found a successful way to get rid of the status bar at the bottom?
I have looked at other threads, it seems some ROMs have this built in. The auto-hide option in settings didn't work, and I tried the Gesture Control app with no luck either (maybe because multitouch isn't working for me).

Google Play not Downloading Apps?

Is anyone else having issues with the play store? I can't download any apps or update them... It says "downloading..." and never gets to the part where it shows how much has been downloaded. I restarted my phone... No luck. My Internet works fine, the browser works great, but no Play Store. Is this a widespread issue? I'm on Charmeleon ROM. Had no issues before with it, and I've had it for days. Thanks everyone!

i was having the same problem until now it just started working out of no where all i did was power off. then hold down volume down and power until you get to the hboot screen chose fastboot then reboot.
I wiped everything and flashed a new ROM for the heck of it. Works perfect now. I have a feeling it was just Google Play being a brat. I think the timing was coincidental. But who knows?

You had luck. Wife's HTC Desire stucks in "downloading...".
I tried:
- kill, clear data, uninstall updates (Google Play/Market, Downloading service, Market updating service)
- change user password
- restore phone to default
- revert phone/flash to system default (using HTC updater, then applied HTC's oficial OTA updates)
And Google Play is not working. Big issue is that more services are not working, including Maps, Chrome2phone. After resetting phone to default few minutes is Market working (until it downloaded update to Google Play).
But "Talk" is working fine. Home WiFi (no restriction) or 3G. Second Android phone on same WiFi and same 3G works without issues.
I've had that a few times but just hit cancel update then hit update again then it worked. I am more frustrated that apps don't download/update when u leave the market before they are done or turn your screen off

I had the same issue too, stuck at the "Downloading...." so i tried to uninstall the update through "System > Application > All > Google play store" but it got stock again while uninstalling the google play. so i used titanium backup and did "Wipe data" (Do not uninstall from titanium backup since it will remove the whole thing not just the update)
then went back to "System > Application > All > Google play store" and did an uninstall. so it removed the update only.
I started the program and got the message telling me that google market is now called google play store... blah blah..
the version became 3.5.x (cannot remember) and it worked great...
after a while it updated it self to the latest (3.8.17) at the time of writing this, and it still works and I can download and install apps.
:good:
BTW, i am have a Samsung Galaxy Note (from AT&T) running 4.0.4
(i reached this thread while googling for the problem, but hopefully the same solution will apply to other phones)
Also: clear media cache
Another thing that helped me with this problem (different device, admittedly) is to clear the media cache (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data). You wouldn't think that this would affect the Google Play store, but I have a large side-loaded MP3 collection & sometimes media crawler problems affect just about everything.
just follow this
do this
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play store app and the download manager. Here's how:
Visit Settings > Apps on your device
View All apps
Select the Google Play store app, and then tap Clear data and Clear cache.
Then, select Download manager and tap Clear data and Clear cache.

YES! Can't install/update apps
I am having this same issue. My HTC Droid Incredible 2 has been rooted, and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Google Play store was operating as it should. Today I installed a build of Cyanogenmod 10 (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-vivow-BRACKETKANG-04_08_12-signed-v.3) with Jellybean (Android 4.1.1). I flashed the corresponding gapps download (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from cyanogenmod.org. This is the thread I used to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779986
I have re-flashed the gapps, cyanogenmod, and even tried various other cyanogenmod and gapp versions. I can not download or update apps. I accepted the terms, etc and it says downloading indefinitely. I have tried emptying the cache, force closing, reinstalling Google Play. I have also downloaded older versions of the app. Currently, I have version 3.9.16 installed. I have been using clockworkmod to install cyanogenmod and gapps, if that is helpful information.
I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. I am not allowed to post on the above mentioned thread, I guess I haven't posted on XDA enough in order to have access. If there is anymore information I can provide that would make it easier/possible to solve this problem, please let me know!
Thank you very much,
