I need a bit of help,
for some reason my market app won't allow me to update Kies Air(plus other apps like ROM Toolbox).
When I search for the app, and the list of apps appear it says update, I click into the app, and it comes up with "Your device isn't compatible with this item", I know it's not the LCD density thing, as i've changed that and it still came up with the error. I've cleared the market cache and data.
I'm using:
Version - 2.3.5
Baseband - I9100XXK14
Kernel - 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #K2-21
Build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1
The apps appear in the market correctly, i.e. SkySports News(which is a UK only based app) is appearing there, so I don't think it's anything to do with the regional settings of the build i'm using.
Can anyone help? Confusing the life out of me.
I've used Market Enabler, to no avail...changed it from O2 UK to USA(AT&T) and also tried the sprint network.
Is it something to do with my baseband? I don't mind attempting to flash another baseband on there, just need to know which one, how, and if it can be done through CWM? I can do it on odin, just will have to do it tomorrow on my own laptop at work.
just use another app kies is crap?!?! uninstall reinstall not work?
It's not just Kies though, ROM Toolbox is doing the same thing, and I am pretty sure I will get the same issue with other apps that I come across in the future.
Simply saying use another app, isn't exactly practical.
So only those two apps won't update ?? but others will?
Simply saying use another app, isn't exactly practical. - it is if other apps do the same job better?!
Clear data + cache for market apps... if that doesn't work just wait... sometimes apps won't update for a day or two and then will start working
Quite a few apps won't update, or even allow me to install them.
I just searched for the Kindle app on the market, I still get "Your device isn't compatible with this item".
I've cleared the data and cache, still doesn't work...
I am guessing more apps will display this issue as I search/want them...
So I may have fixed this, the density of my device was 235dpi and I read somewhere that the default density is 240dpi
So I've gone in and changed it with an app, and the market works now. I'll let you know if I have any more problems.
The only thing I can think of that changed this, is I installed Siyah kernel a few days ago, to try it, went back to speedmod as I prefered the original CWM rather than the tweaked version that Siyah gives out.
Anyway, it's working for now...
good luck

hi guys, well to cut it short my market isnt downloading, one of the users "GHIDDA" put forward the suggestion that i have activated a bug in market (infinity downloading at 0 KB or ETERNAL DOWNLOADING) by removing gtalk130 or chat1.6,
ive checked my apps and dont have chat1.6, it was suggested that i flash my rom, i know how to flash but what i need is some pointers on the ROM required and if some of the excellent brains on here could tell me more i would be bloody grateful lol
If you have Titanium Backup installed browse to Backup/Restore tab and list here what google apps you have installed and we will take it from there.

i have reflashed m8, a few times, still keeps happening, i reckon its down to either the vending or the talk apps that i might have deleted using root explorer, dont know if you can restore things from system or the data folder????
Can you list the google apps that you have left installed? Do you have IM?
google apps
google apps 1.3
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google partner setup 1.6

Interesting... All google apps are there.. Hmm...
When you flashed you handset what firmware did you use? And from where did you download it?
Go to this post by Grospolina:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7490733&postcount=65
Download the pack and flash that firmware.
Dont use titanium backup to restore any settings..
sweet
one of the old ones going from rf16 through step 2 then 3 to give r2ba023 then step 3 to root, originally had uk gen r2ba026 unrooted, used x10 root to root installed titanium and root explorer, went OTT with the delete and browsing through allsorts of folders, deleting what i thought was useless (inc things in data and app and delvic so it might be down to a missing file or something from them perhaps.....im a effin newbie hence FNG) hard reset got what i thought was a great looking simplified phone and aaarrrggghhh market not working, which was weird as i had rooted and restored a few times as i kept making mistakes and market was working as i had to download ASTRO to install the x10root.apk, but after a last restore it just stopped working.........................hence im a DUNCE
aaaarrrggghhhhh
went through the process, 1-3 but my market still wont download, does changing google matter, i created a new one yesterday
Vodaphone rom
If anyone knows where i can get a stock uk vodaphone rom for flashing i would be grateful, i have the two original files from when i debranded but as far as im aware that cant be done anymore.................................................

Is the problem that you can't download apps from the market, and it just hangs on 'download starting', or something like that?
If so, just open Google talk, and wait for it to sign in (with an active internet connection), and the download(s) should start.
It's a common problem - just have a look here:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
I hope that this solves the problem, as it did for me.
Good luck!
Internet
do you mean wi-fi, 3g or with browser?
what would happen
what would happen if i installed a rooted firmware and then removed all the google apps and even market, and removed all files and traces associated with them from system or data and then cleaned all my caches? just incase it has something to do with a file error/virus or bug, would seus be able to replace all missing elements in a reinstall, or to simplify can i erase nearly everything and get seus to repair?
Please read before going mad...............
hi peeps, just a quick update,google recently changes from GOOGLEMAIL.COM to GMAIL.COM..........anyone facing problems with sticky downloads should go to google via your PC and change your email to GMAIL (THERES A LINK TO DO THIS SUPER FAST, INSTANT CHANGE< dont worry you can still get your mail from your googlemail.com name)now go offline, pick up your phone turn on etc, go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPS/GOOGLE APPS and then press clear data to wipe, go back to menu press GOOGLE TALK and sign in with your GMAIL.COM ID........voila market works again the way it should, it must be a bug caused by the change by google recently.....but now its GOOOONE....thanks and good luck peeple
After much messing about and almost bricking my phone I've finally got it on a version of 2.2 which will run the standard upgrade but I have a problem. This version (compared to the older official UK o2 I had) has copilot pre installed on it which when I checked the permissions is down for full access to making calls, texts, viewing contacts, etc.. Basically all the stuff you wouldn't allow an app to do normally and as I have no need for it I went to the apps on settings to delete it but when I select it the option to uninstall isn't highlighted, does anyone know how to get rid of this??
you need to use root manager or system manager delete the apk from system/app
hope that helps.
Cheers, gonna try and get it rooted then. Already tried z4root but it didn't work so having a go with superoneclick!
Also do you know of a way to stop the update available message coming on??
root with superuser via streakmod or clockworkmod....not sure about the update message. I am on 351.
Done, was a bit unsure bout if I was doing it all right but it's all looking good so far thanks!!
Will look into the update to 2.2.2 and see what can be done with that once I've had a play with the root!!
Hi,
I've got an Archos 43 IT with dual boot UrukDroid 1.5 and the stock fw. I had the latest version of the market running there (+market fix, installed by arctools) and all worked just fine. But since a few days ago the market only shows very few apps (like 2-3 each section) in both (stock and ud). When I try to install apps over the official market-homepage, I get the message like this (translated): "This App isn't compatible to your Archos A43-Device."
What can I do here? Does anyone have the same problem?
A few days ago in another post I read about a pro here, who managed to replace the file which told the market, that it is an A43 by an other one (i think, it was a samsung galaxy), but I can't find the thread/post anymore. I guess this should solve my problem, but I don't know which file it was, anymore.
Does anyone know, which post this was (link)/which file?

You can change the setting at content filtering to show all app.
For market app, you may reinstall it from arctools.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.

Do you mean in the settings-menu under "select level"? All the checkboxes are activated with me.

EDIT:
I even tried applying the fix again but it didn't work
EDIT 2:
I now managed to find the post I mentioned in my first post. It was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11113696&postcount=3
But when I tried modifying my /system/build.prop, I was very surprised to see, it already had the galaxy-footprint, the line containing Archos was only put as a comment (Does this come by UrukDroid as default?). So this doesn't seem to work either...
I am still having the same problem I've tried everything i can think of fix unfix un reinstall edit build.prop and i think posted on the other thread you mentioned. And I'm having the same problem on my stock installation too. Anyone else have any ideas.

I now managed to get the fingerprint of a Motorola somewhat... (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2/FRG01B/45394:user/release-keys)
Doesn't seem to do any change... Do I have to do anything to apply the changes in the build.prop? I tried reboot, clearing cache and data of the market and the google-services-framework. Anything else I have to do?
So, I got all the apps back . What I did was the following:
First I switched my fingerprint back to the Galaxy one. After that I rebooted my device and went to (the menu-points are translated by me, so it might not be the exact name) Settings -> Applications -> manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop.
Does this work for you as well, jared?

This happened after I flashed VillainROM 3.0. Now I'm unable to download or update any apps via Market, it would give "Error downloading app_name. Please try again at a later time." . Sometimes I can install them from the web, but NEVER through the phone. There are also discrepencies, e.g I have Astro uninstalled, the market app says I don't have it installed (but I can't download), but on the web it says I have it installed and I can't install it again.
I have tried clearing caches of everything relevant and irrelevant, flashing different roms, even restoring CWM backup and titanium backup, nothing seems to help. I have deleted .android_secure folders, but I can't find any smdl2tmp1.asec files anywhere. Some of my apps just show up as grey icons, but some I'm able to see them and use them. Clicking on the grey icons would just crash TouchWiz. I look into Applications under settings and I see lots of "com.app_name.something_else" I tried deleting those but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm at my wits end and am really considering getting a new SGS2 if this doesn't get fixed I would really appreciate any help

Already tried that, even on stock roms the problem is still there.
Hello there!
I am having problems with updating applications on my phone. I have a Sony Xperia S running on a custom ROM. Details of my phone are below. I can download or install an application from the market or from my internal storage, but afterwards I can not update. It only works sometimes on the market, but it never works when trying to update from my internal storage. I keep getting an "App not installed" error. I have 'Unknown source' checked. My phone is rooted with latest binary. I have the latest BusyBox. I have space in System, Data, Cache and Internal. I have tried multiple methods, such as Xposed' "Xinstaller" app, clearing cache and even data. I have also tried swapping android installation location just in case, because, well, you never know! I tried updating an app through multiple apps. But I had no luck there.
The thing is, I had this ROM before, and never had such problems. The ROM hasn't been updated since I last had it, so I know I am running on the same version. According to the developer, it's a stable ROM. I decided to move to Lollipop, only to find some incompatibility issues with a few apps, and eventually loosing my internal storage. So I had to reflash and all to get it even working. I have a backup of the ROM I ran with before going to 5.1.1, but that has some sort of boot problems, which I have caused. So I am sure its not the ROM itself.
I have not tried to replace an app file in my phones system-data folder manually, so I don't know if it works like that. I would like a more permanent solution, if possible. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall just to update. I would like to keep my data and not go through so much trouble. > Even if I had to I couldn't, because it wont let me. I have tried to uninstall an app and reinstall it with a newer version, but it simply won't let me, through my internal storage that is. Play has a mind of its own. Sometimes it would let me, sometimes it won't. Sometimes its just a specific app.
I have never met with such an issue ever. It's mind-blowing!
I have also tried searching this problem, but about 99% are about updating errors through Play. I have not contacted the ROM developer about this, as I think this problem is more universal.
Specs:
Manufacturer: Sony
Model: Xperia S
Android version: 4.4.4
ROM: Carbon-KK Unofficial (2014-11-03 1244)

I would appreciate anyone's help and suggestions!
#Edit:
After experimenting, I came to a conclusion.
I CANNOT give you an exact solution to this problem I've been having. It could be due to a faulty Xposed install or some sort. Maybe because I wasn't on the latest Xposed version. Or maybe because of Xposed' "XInstaller".
Try experimenting with basically what you have. Maybe I was lucky because I just had to remove an app. But you might not be. You could try to re-flash your ROM just in case it might be a system error, although that may be unlikely. Try removing or disabling (freezing) your app(s) that may cause you to have a signature error or any other app that may conflict an app install IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. (Signature check, forward-locking, backward install, etc. (Just like XInstaller from Xposed))Hopefully many who might have came across this error will be able to get out of it with the above-mentioned.

You could try removing xposed. Many apps are now checking for it and if found it won't install. Also it could be that the apps that you download have different signatures then the official and in that case it will not install on top of it. Also apps installed are installed in the data/app partition. Never in system. It could also be a rom issue. Carbon has been known to have issues mainly with their gapps
Hmm I had Xposed before when I still had this ROM. Everything went fine! But I will give that a shot later.
I have also tried reinstalling the exact same apps I had before since I kept the apps. I know I don't have some signature issue. Checked them all out. But if I even uninstall a given app, I won't be able to reinstall it, whether its the exact same version or an updated version. I have not tried a previous older version though. But still, I'll give a shot at removing Xposed and see what will happen.
I never had an issue with Carbons Gapps. Hell, it even fixed my "Insufficient space error" Play usually gives to a lot of users. So I am a bit dumbfounded at this point.
Should give my results tomorrow.
What I meant by system-data is by moving an app to either ROOT>Data>App folder or ROOT>System>App folder.
That way I can either have an app installed as a User app or as a System app.
I swear, this whole thing is so bizarre!

See if it happens on other roms as well
Alright, I temporarily removed Xposed, and everything went fine. I updated the Xposed to 2.7.1 Experimental. Everything went fine until I updated 2 apps. Got the "App Not Installed" error again. After that I removed "XInstaller" and now everything is going fine as we speak.
I don't understand though. I had been suffering with that error BEFORE I got "XInstaller", but now I removed it, everything is going fine. I don't know if it's because I was running on Xposed 2.6, which is theoretically stable, and not on 2.7.1 Experimental, which is deemed as an experiment, or because of some other god-knows-what reason. I can now also update any app through Play as well, including the ones that I was never able to update before.
So, sit-rep:
I CANNOT give you an exact solution to this problem I've been having. It could be due to a faulty Xposed install or some sort. maybe because I wasn't on the latest Xposed version. Or maybe because of Xposed' "XInstaller". Even though those all worked for me in the past and had this trouble after re-flashing Carbon ROM before any of the just mentioned, but never mind that..
I have not tried with another ROM, because quite frankly, I simply don't have the time to experiment. Especially hair. I lost a lot during the few weeks from all this mess with my phone.
Thank you zelendel for taking your time with helping me out.
Hopefully this error wont come back again.
