I am able to install applications I have purchased before I installed the leaked XXLPB rom, but whenever I try to buy an app now, I get a message along the lines of "You will receive email when your purchase is resolved". I receive an order receipt on my Google Wallet account, and the app says it is purchased. But whenever I try to install it, it gets stuck at "Starting download...".
What to do?
Install them while on gb dump them to sd and reinstall via file mgr. The market license check should succeed on ics.

How would I do this? And isn't there an easier way?
Tried to buy an app on my HTC Desire running stock GB, but I had the same problem there as well.. This makes think that it is not a ROM-problem I am dealing with..

Easy way is not to use unreleased test beta buggy firmware .
Or try search ICS market problems as other users post the same problems .
If its not a rom problem then its usually either the market app dpi or your account .

No problem here. Something is messed up on your device.

If you cant get them to work, a factory reset should do it or if u are rooted, wipe all and reinstall rom
If you're running a custom ROM, it's possible that there's info in 'build.prop' that the Market reads and could flag apps as incompatible. What are you running ?
FWIW, I didn't check Adobe Flash 11. When did that get released, a day ago ? Two days ago ? Haven't heard there's been an update.... I'll go out on a limb and say that one won't across too many sites that are "Flash 11 only" yet either !! I think you can hold off for a short bit to get that one sorted out !
As for the others, the Market says they're "compatible with all of your devices". I have TBolts and Eris linked to my account, so yes, they'll even run on my old Eris.

Not sure but on mine the Market auto updated Adobe Flash to 11 last night.
Sent from my brain.
Adobe Flash only shows up in the Market if I look for it. It doesn't appear under My Apps. When I do find it, it has the "update" tag on it though. I don't know if it will eventually auto-update or not since it's a baked-in app. Maps does though...

Once you update it, it will be linked to the market then since you will no longer be using the /system/app version (you'll be using the /data/app version market installed). So from then on it will be listed in your market when an update is available. As far as making that "automatic", you'd have to check that box in the market for that app.
As someone said, it could be something in your build.prop such as your model name, lcd density, or fingerprint.

My apologies. I believe I did use the market to install Flash 10.3 and choosing to auto update. I am using Market version 3.1.6 btw
And I assume that Google pushes updates to their apps which is why Gmail and Maps constantly update without user interaction.
Sent from my brain.
I think with Google's apps, they took it upon themselves to default the "update" flag to 'yes'

I was just talking to a guy about this. Did you by chance change your screen density? The stock density on the Tbolt is 240. Or if you are using a custom rom maybe the density has been changed?
You can use Root Explorer and go to system/build.prop. long press and chose to view it as a text file and check the density is 240.
Hi Guys,
I have a problem i bought few applications when i flash custom rom its not showing up at present i am in MIUI rom. Any suggestions welcome.
does it not appear in the market or on your phone after installing it?
It might help to log onto market.android.com and try to send the installers to your phone. If it doesn't show up/it's greyed out, I guess the version of the app won't work with MIUI without buying it again. In that case, see if you're still eligible for refunds and rebuy it.
You sure they weren't purchased with a different Google account?

It may also help to clear the market data and cache...log back in...its happened to me a couple of times too.

I installed the XDA app via Android Market after rooting and installing gapps via NARS. Whenever I'm logged in and try to access a thread I get a force close. (If I don't log in, works fine.)
Anyone else get this behavior and/or have any ideas to fix?
I asked this a while back. Others reported they had the same problem with the free app, but not with the paid one.

If memory serves, the XDA app looks for the devices IMEI number. Since the NT is not a phone, it doesn't have an IMEI number and crashes. The paid version apparently doesn't look for an IMEI number. Nook Color has had the same issue since day one.

That might be a difficult one to track down. Have you tried installing it from the web play store instead of from your device? Sometimes that works for some reason.

Ye tried that put had no joy
I've attached it to this post, not sure if its the latest version but its one I extracted from a phone running GB for my girlfriend after she had the same problem with it saying it wasn't compatible on her Nexus S with ICS.
Thank you
I recommend caution when installing these kind of apps from apks found on the web; there is always the chance that they have been modded to steal your banking info, so what I'd suggest for further updates is to try some kind of market enabler app rather than go online searching for it.
Don't say that i've already installed it you know when you download a app from the play store does it store it anywhere on your phone first
Hi guys, really appreciate the work you guys are doing, this is actually my first post, feel kinda bad that it's only because I want something. So apologies for that.
I currently have the RBS banking app installed on my Galaxy Nexus. However it has recently been updated to allow users to make cardless atm withdrawals. Probably because I have a rooted device google are not letting me update to that version.
I would be quite happy to make a donation if someone would post it for me, many thanks in advance.
Am I the only one here that know **** what going on here?

App-related threads go in the Themes & Apps section
I have searched and tried several things but I can not seem to fix a Google play issue I am having. After I updated to the Global Update 4.03.605.2 710RD, I have not been able to download certain apps from the Play Store. I get a message saying "This device is not compatible with this version". And these are simple apps like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks (I like coffee... a lot). Here is what I have tried so far but to no avail:
1) Using Root Explorer, I edited the Build.prop file to change the resolution from 320 (which is a normal resolution but I gave it a shot anyway) to 240. Cleared out the PLay Store cache and restarted the phone. No luck.
2) Edited the build.prop file again to change the phone to a Nexus S and the manufacturer to Samsung. Cleared cache and rebooted. No luck.
3) Used Market Helper and tried several different options. No luck.
4) Used RootCloak. No luck.
Attached are screenshots of the specs for my phone, including the build.prop. Any suggestions?
Are you using a stock ROM with only root added? The official Global update is 4.05 (it's an OTA patch, not a full system update), maybe try to apply it and then try to check the Play Store again?
Try changing the dpi back to 320. Changing the dpi often "breaks" compatibility.
Are you S-OFF? I would follow the full downgrade/upgrade guide in this section and get it to an official version (4.5.605.14) or at least reflash the full RUU of the version you have... Once you get it up and running and signed into Google Play, give it some time for all the services to update (Play Store updates automatically after first opening/closing) and load something that forces Play Services to update like Hangouts. Then do a full update of all embedded apps and give it 10-15 minutes after that for all the Google services to update, restart and try download the Starbucks app (ONLY, no other apps).

I have tried to fully downgrade and return to the fully updated stock. I am currently unlock with s-off. I still cannot download certain apps I had before, i.e Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Google Search. These apps are all compatible with my HTC Incredible. I can't figure out why my phone is all of a sudden not compatible. Does it matter that I'm unlocked?

No, it does not. Neither Google Play or the app knows your unlocked or S-Off.
So you are saying that completely stock, no custom ROM, changes to build.prop, or root, and these apps are still listed as incompatible?

Everything is stock except for the recovery. I am rooted. I followed the Downgrade and fully updated stock thread and used RUUs. I have been able to sideload the Dunkin Donuts app by downloading it from APK Downloader and it runs fine. For some reason I can't get the Starbucks app that way.

Really not sure what to say, recovery would not be relevant (although on a different note, TWRP is recommended over CWM)... Compatibility typically looks at setting from build.prop to verify model and relevant data like PPI and size of screen, and Play knows your OS version already.
Unfortunately I no longer own a Rezound so I can't confirm any of these issues.

Starbucks, at least, requires 4.1 or higher. That is stated in the description. This may be the limitation on the other app as well. Be sure to check that next time both were updated recently and probably had a feature added not compatible with 4.0 and lower.

Maybe an older version worked? Since M is around the corner, maybe ICS is just starting to get phased out on recently updated apps like GB was when LP launched.

Thanks for figuring this out. Is there a way to trick it to think I have 4.1? Maybe change a line or two in the build.prop then change it back after downloading?

I had an older version of the app on my phone before I started to update. I should have backed up the APK before I wiped the phone.

I think your missing the point... If it requires Android 4.1 or higher, they are using certain APIs or something else in the OS that didn't exist in previous versions, there is a reason its marked as incompatible. You are better off to look at one of the APK repository sites and grab an old version of the app.
Don't mess in build.prop unless you really know what you are doing.

Your best bet would be to flash a JB rom. Most of the 4.1 and 4.2 ones work fine with no issues on this phone.
