Play Store Problem? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the Play Store update last week and it was fine. Working smooth.
Yesterday all of a sudden, something weird happens.
First, the play store icon in my app drawer ignored the alphabetical listing and moved itself to the apps beginning with "m" (where the Market app used to be)
I clicked on sort alphabetically, and it went back to its original place, but it still has the old market icon.
Somebody help? I want the Play Store icon back in my app drawer

That weird, when I updated to Google Play I don't have any problems at all. It seems to be different from phone to phone. I'm using the HTC EVO 4G and it works fine for me. Maybe it could be a problem with which version of the Android your using?

rom problem?

Please try
Setting > Manage App > Google Play
=> Uninstall updates
=> Clear data
Reboot and retry

But won't that leave me with the old Android Market? That's the whole point. I want Google Play

Seems that you will need to enable location service via WiFi. Seems that the Play Store requires that to work, as in for my case.

Hmm. Possible. Since I've disabled it. Will try and report
Edit : No change. Still showing market icon
Sent from my Supernatural Blade

Ok...what home launcher are you using?go to settings,select the launcher app and clear data...you may have to rearrange your stuff but it usually reloads every icon again...hope this does the trick...

I had it come through yesterday afternoon on my x10 just opened the market and there it was but I also own the htc desire which is 2.2 generic but that's still got the old market. So it nice to no the x 10 got somethin first for a change lol so sk_700 your theory is shot to ****

Yes same here. Very annoying. I had some apps that needed updating and when viewing that particular app, the 'update' button text is partially cut off at the top too!
I hope they fix it soon.

Install apps from market now does not work (devoid.froyo)

Since I installed devoid froyo, the apps that I try to install from market web does not appear on my phone I have checked everything....and It should be Ok). What can I do?
Something else, I have noticed that, the apps which I uninstall on the phone, continue appearing on the "Downloaded apps" section on market app. They continue here, but instead of "Installed" they say "Free" (Just like a normal app that you have not installed)
thanks!

I broke my market before by deleting google talk . Try clearing the data on more google apps inc the download manager. maybe removing a market update may work too

Thanks dude for your suggest, but it continues! I dont understand why...I have tried everything and dont solve
Even the web market continues not working
I would back up what you need to and try a factory reset, thus if its a data problem it will all be cleared. I read about other people having the issue just needed to sign in to google talk (unfortunately for me I cant sign in, in england). If that doesn't work clear everything you can in recovery (except fat32 on the sd) and do a fresh install and try it with out making any adjustments to the rom. Check as you reinstall or delete things to find the fault. Android can be effected by odd things sometimes such as the wrong date or a error in the call log
Aaron, I think that If I do what you say, a complete wipe and fresh install, the bug would solved. But I think...is too much to do, copy all....backup...configurate again... and maybe I lose something, or any setting.....So I prefer continue with the bug and dont risk to install everything from 0
Thanks.
Titanium back up will save things like settings, call logs, and data with the apps (its just a pain to click install all the time) it has a batch back up and batch restore. But I suppose if you just restored everything you may re-introduce the fault. With CWM recovery you can do a advanced restore and select the partition you want to restore. Sorry I cant suggest anything more than wiping and deleting the gapps data
Dude I got the solution,
Even I was having the same problem.
Go to market > settings > filter
N select show all apps.
Thats it.
Reboot the phone n enjoy.
Press thanx if helped u.

Yes you are right, maybe it is the only solution so I would have to do it If I want to fix the bug...Thanks for the help
However I dont understand what you say about restore partition with CWM recovey, what would I get doing it? Well really does not matter because I use Amonra, I have tried both of them and I prefer Amonra much better

However when i try to play it on my sgs2 the colors are all messed up and the game dosnt run properly. I tried installing Chainfire 3d and that didnt help. Do i need to install some nightly driver or a beta. Please help thanks!!

Just checking on this, as it's not entirely clear from your post... but you know that just installing Chainfire 3D won't do anything, right?
You need to actually install the plug-ins as well (NVidia, PowerVR, and Qualcomm), and select one of them to use. Have you done that?
For example, if I don't select the Qualcomm plug-in, then NFS: Shift will still have screwy graphics. Once I select the Qualcomm plug-in, it runs great.
How did you manage to purchase it on the Google Play Store? Can you provide a link?
How do u install the plugins?

Per the instructions in the thread, which is linked from the market entry?
EDIT: plugins are in post 3 of the Chainfire 3D thread, by the way.
EDIT 2: hmm... those look like just source files on that thread. Sorry about that. You'll probably have to search for 'em. But they're out there. Trust me.
Ok so i installed the plugins but when i click one them and go back into the game it dosnt make a difference, niether nivdia or qulacoma. Do i have to reboot or somthing?

No. In chainfire 3d,go to default opengl settings, use plug in, and select one.
Ok so i install the plugins then i select it then launch the game then it just force closes?

Try the other plug ins.
EDIT: BTW, you should really read the chainfire thread. There is details in there. You may have to tweak some settings if a plug in doesn't at first appear to work.
And when you say "go back into the game", does that mean you have the game loaded already, then you go to chain fire, change setting, then go back to the game still loaded? I'm not sure that works. You may have to totally reload the game after you change settings.
OK I WILL i just have one last question whenever i click to install one of the plugins the phone freezes and i have to reboot?

FWIW I don't believe you. Partly because you've only posted in the I727, I9100 and HTC Rezound forums since joining XDA, and partly because you only mentioned the Xperia Play after I indicated you could only get it for this device. Whatever, it's not even on Google Play (your original claim) even if you do have an Xperia Play.

Google play not showing all the apps

The google play on my phone is not showing all the apps that I have downloaded. Also when i try to update it says" your device isn't compatible with this version". I never had this problem until yesterday.

You should put some more information on. Such as, what rom are you running currently and what kernel are you running?
Best regards,

no showing all apps .. just tab menu then apps after this flick left with ur finger (there are 2 tabs up there ) and u will get all the apps u have installed since u even got ur S2
not compatible .. it may be designed for another phone or another version of android higher than yours, don't forget that all android phones share the same market ,so not all apps were designed for our S2

I am not specifically familiar with the app/game/program that you are referring to, so if what I am about to suggest turns out to be complete rubbish, please feel free to ignore it completely. Here goes anyway, just in case it might turn out to somehow be useful !!
I sideloaded Better Terminal Emulator (a GREAT app & also one of my most favorite root-aware apps !!). Whenever I would start it up, it would run just fine, as long as I did *not* attempt to open the KFHDX keyboard. As soon as the built-in keyboard was activated, BTE would immediately crash & close. As you might guess, any terminal emulator program is basically worthless without keyboard input !! However (so this is where you might want to try the same thing, if "keyboard" applies in your specific case), when I use an external BT keyboard, BTE continues to run as great as it always has . . . problem averted !! [ now if I could just get my root access back with the latest formware ]
HTH !!
Good luck & have fun !!

With stock AMZ FW, you can also run into issues with some apps that use any DL service other than AMZ. Which is why many paid Play Store apps will force close, like GTA SA, which will fail to open or crash unless you use the KF version.
