[Q] Samsung apps update problem - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched the forum extensively and didn't find anything like this. Hopefully someone can help.
using InParisV5 rom.
I'm trying to use the samsung app for the app store.
When I run the app it wants to update. It does it successfully but then opens a dialog box asking what language to use and it only lists 1 (I think it's chinese by the symbols)
If I cancel then it just doesn't run. if I select ok it runs but it is in chinese.
I tried uninstalling the app (v3.10.115)
also uninstalled SamsungAppsUNA2.2.0.19
also uninstalled com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.com.una
After re-installing the V3 I get the same result. If I just install the UNA2.2 I don't see the app listed so i guess that isn't the app itself. (can u tell i'm a noob?)
Any ideas on how i can get the USA langusge option. (I do tell it USA on the initial install but when it updates that's when the problem arises).

Updating Non Market Apps

Downloaded an apk pack from the interweb and installed a few apps.
Loaded it up via pc and then clicked on file and it installed. When I go into the market its saying I don't have this app installed? I also installed a game and under settings this appears but not the app?
Is there a way of updating this app as cannot update it via market ? Tried the non paid version of Titanium back up but no use. From searching read Trackdog app. maybe able to do this. Anyone confirm
Is there a way or is the market such it wont let it update?
I was gonna ask same question
I don't think there's any solution for what you are asking. But you can try this: install AppBrain App Market from the market. This app will show all your installed apps, no matter if you installed them straight from the market or other sources. There's an option to sync the apps with AppBrain and if a newer version of your installed apps comes out on the market it will prompt you to update. Obviously, you won't be able to update the apps straight from the market (if they were installed from other sources), but at least you will know there's a new version of the app in the market and then you can try to get the new version from alternate sources. I use this app for Google Plus and some other apps from the market which are not available for my country. This isn't a solution, merely an intermediate step to find out if your apps need to be updated I think Trackdog does exactly the same thing as AppBrain.

[Q] can find apps in market but cannot install

I've searched the threads but cannot find anything regarding the specific problems i've been having. I am running cm 7 on my gtab. Whenever I search themarket for certain apps I fund th he app but there isn't a linkto install. I've tried the market fix but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thank you in advance.
Me too
I have the exact same problem. In my case, it's Skype I can't install. Which sucks because it used to work until I tried to "upgrade" it.
Appreciate any pointers you may have.
Hi Everyone,
I also have the same issue, on some app's. that I want to install, there isn't any download button available, all I see is a yellow block with the notice that the app. isn't compatible with my device, isn't that what everybody else sees ?

I have noticed this is the different GB ROMs and the new Market. I have been restoring from Titanium backup, but would also like to see this fixed.
I have been using black Mart alpha to find most of the app..... You can find black mart alpha if you download gmob and browse through the application section.
Downloaded the black market alpha app. and installed it, it does work..but some of the app's. available aren't current..thanks.

Hey mates, yesterday I upgraded to HoneyComb 3.0.1 , since then I cannot install any app grom Google market, it says downloading but it displays that for hours...it happens with all apps, I've tried to reboot and nothing...
blackmart app installion
How to install paid and unpaid apps through blackmart on rooted or unrooted device when install button does not work.
1-go to blackmart and download your desired app
2-restart your phone and go to system recovery by holding volume up + home + power buttons
3-select option for wipe cache partition
4=reboot your device
5-goto blackmart
6-select the app you already downloaded
7-install it, it will work
You have to follow above steps for each app you want to download. It is annoying but that’s the only way I found so far.

[Q] Market Problem

I have a terrible Market problem. My Vega loaded with HoneyIce 3.2.7 auto installs Google Play Store which is fine, but when I'm going to click accept on the Terms, it just force-closes. If I'm fast, i can click accept, but it force-closes after that top. When i install an older version of Android Market, it just auto updates and the problem is still the same :S Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem and i think alot of people will since google play just launched , i havent tryed it yet but i think it should work.
Do factory reset over cwm ,
then in terminal emulator:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
hope this helps , im gonna try this later myself.
It works, thnx You don't need to reset it...

I just assumed it would need reset because it reverts back to android market from google play. But oh well , glad it helped.
Okay, I got Google Play wokring. I don't know what i did, but it works...
Thanks for the fix!
Every time I tried to install/upgrade an app from Market it would say that this app can't be istalled on phone or usb storage. I even tried to install apk files thru manager and it didn't work anymore.
What I did was:
1. Freeze "Market updater" in Titanium Backup (pm disable does the same thing!)
2. Go in Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->All-->Google Shop and clear cache+data and then "Uninstall updates".
3. Restart tablet and Market should work once again!
Someone could also post a link to old version (last version before Market was transformed into Google Shop).
I had same force closes, all I did was force stop the app, then cleared its data and now it works fine?

[Q] Market wan't show some apps on custom rom

Hello. I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 on my samsung galaxy s3 and asus tf101g, and it looks like both of them have one problem with apps showing in play store.
For example I have buyed Mantano Reader Premium and it's showing on "All" section, I can install it and it'll work, but it wan't show in "installed" section, so i'm not getting any update notifications or such. I tried to restore market links with Titanium backup, but it did nothing. In fact, i think the links are ok, because it was installed from market. App reinstall obviously not helping too.
Searching solutions i got some varians:
1) Use Market Helper by Jummy: com.jrummy.apps.google.play.api
Didn't help. I tryed to delete market cache and data, modify device properties in Market helper and reopen market. Nothing helped
2) Modify build.prop and set ro.build.fingerprint to some "good' value.
Didn't help. Actually i found that cyanogenmod already have some value from samsung s3 stock rom, and I also tried to modify it to something from other devices, remove data and cache from market and restart device. Also got nothing.
So, is there any good solution? What exactly is restricted:
- Device name?
- Android version?
- Region?
How I can find and fix that?
For example here is some affected applications:
- Facebook
- Mantano reader premium
- Whats app
They appears in "all" tab, u can install, but it wan't came on "installed". Wan't appear in search also.
I'm using market 4.4.21.
Thanks for helping.

Install APK Themes Android Pie 9.0

Hi Everyone,
So apparently after updating my XA2 Ultra to android 9.0 I am unable to install the themes I used
via APK. I read on the internet that this is something Sony is disabling for some reason.
Does anyone know a way to install a theme using the APK file and not from the Google Pay store?
Every time I try to Install them It just tells me that it couldn't be install and that's it.
Any help will be appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I used to have the same problem, for *some* APKs even on 8.0. What i did (not sure what caused the problem, actually) was:
1) Enable unknown sources via dev. menu
2) Disable the Play Protect and built-in antivirus(es), e.g. AVG
3) Disable app checking from Google options (this might be tricky, because the app itself didn't show me this option, bit it came up eventually, don't remember how, i think when you try to install the .apk via ES or some other file explorer.)
Now it gives me the "App not installed" or "Unable to install" only when i try to update an app that was not originally installed from the Play Store, but (for example Aptoide or other Black Market store) it can be remedied by simply uninstalling the old app and install the new one.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
