Hey guys just new to the forum. Bought Galaxy S2,was trying to install few apps (the regular ones) but they are not downloading ,even the updates are not downloading.I checked with sevice provider but they everything is fine from their side.

Have you tried clearing the play store cache and restarting the device?

yeah, did you wipe caches?
did you try downloading them over wifi connection?

[Q] This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

I went from stock S2 rom to MIUI and so far loving it. However, and this is just a query really, the other night I downloaded GTA 3 from the market.
Now, on MIUI when I browse the market, its not there. Going on the website, it states "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." Well, yes it is.
I know I can prob download it elsewhere, but I paid for this.
Is this cos of the MIUI rom confusing google?
Also, as a bonus question, how can I get a list of all the apps I installed recently.
When I check googles market website, it lists only 3, and I've downloaded like 30.
GTA III will show not compatible with Galaxy S2, no matter what rom you used.
You can download the apk from others. I downloaded it and haven't got any problem so far (Just sometimes the game is force closed.)
For the installed app, I think it will show only the paid one. Mine doesn't show the free app in the previous installed. (Not Sure bout this)
EDIT : Clarify my word a bit
It runs....saw it on drippler

The thing was I downloaded this from the market in the first place. It must of been compatible to let me download it? Because on this market its gone. It like they pulled it.

I think something is wrong, tried to download the natwest app and that's also missing from the market. This MUIU seems to be causing issues which is annoying because I love using it. Any ideas?

I don't think problem is with your Rom. I am using lightening Rom and I have the same problem with some apps I downloaded from market. Maybe its because the newer versions of those apps miss something to be compatible with galaxy S2 or maybe its a market glitch.

Its odd. They dont show up on my phone by going to the market on my pc just says it's not compatible. I guess the only way ill know is going back to my rom backup and see if it works.

Some apps are just not compatible with your phone ( GTAIII is an example, the developers haven't optimized it for SGSII ). You can still download any of those .apks elsewhere, and install them , chances are they won't work ( GTAIII does in fact work , if not by default , then by using chainfire3D). It's not, i repeat, it's NOT a bug in the market , or a bug in the ROM.
Edit: Solved it.

hey, how did you solve this? been at it for weeks no soltuion
And suddenly I can't update Go SMS Pro (v4.33) in my Black i9100 (suddenly says incompatible) while it's normal on my fiance's White i9100.
Both international version, same ROM same installed programs inside, configuration, and version.
This once happeneded to me, maybe your DPI is not compatible with market giving you the error. If its changed return it to the value of 240
Nah, I never mess with DPI settings. Its suddenly like that.
Yesterday I can see it in the market and when it requested to update I just decline it because I wasn't in wifi area and decided to update it today but it now says incompatible. Weird...
While in my fiance's i9100 it downloaded perfectly.
And the build prop is stock. Also here's my config:
XWKL1 stock odexed ROM & Siyah v.12 kernel.
Here's my build.prop: http://pastebin.de/23354

[Q] Gaming and app Issues with s3 i9300

Hello friends,
I am facing issue with my galaxy s3, the mobile is never rooted and runs on samsung official 4.1.2 jellybean firmware
The problem with my mobile is some of the games and apps keeps restarting again and again not allowing me to play or use them
Examples like asphalt 7 , cut the rope.etc.....and my phone sometimes stuck and restart as well.
I have tried doing factory reset even then it didn't work, I have taken to samsung service centre but the problem still continues.
One more problem with my mobile is like I can't send the files using wifi direct but I can receive the files.
Any help regarding my issues will be appreciated.

That option would have unchecked itself after reboot... Was you turning that option on every time you turned on your phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No it would still be checked even after reboot. ..that option will be unchecked if you do it manually or do a factory reset.

I've the issue where I logged into my play store account and purchased apps showed as un purchased and no updates available. Each time I either had to reset my DPI to stock 240 or sync my account again. Clearing app data worked too.

What do you mean by " DPI to stock 240 "...

The DPI is a command in the build prop file. It can change the size of all the text and images on the screen. Samsung stock is 240 while the nexus has a smaller DPI 213 I think.
Anyway this setting can affect the play store if the phone DPI doesn't match the play store DPI.

It says to clear app & system cache to stop this issue. Follow the instructions closely.
BTW I just googled "play store no download", this way the first result.

I somehow managed to get it working. I have been using connectify to connect to wifi but when I directly connected to a wireless router, my problem is solved...:laugh:

I had such problems lots of times. I used many solutions and all of them worked.
1) Clear data and Cache of Play Store from Settings ====> Apps ====> Manage apps.
OR
2) Uninstall Play Store and install latest version again. (I installed it as system app)
OR
3) Reflash stock ROM with odin, then root and try again.
Most of the times 1st option worked. Use next 2 only if 1st does not work.
Press Thanks if helped.
First suggestion didn't work but second worked. Thanks mate. Cheers
