Is there any way of knowing the version of the current/latest version of google play ?
A simple search for google play apk turns up results as far as v1.8.22 ...

3.8.17. From Play/settings/about currently running on my device

Thanks, but my question was regarding a method to know that irrespective of time frame, so i could just use it to know which is the current version of play without referring to multitudes of threads (often dead) and create ones like this.

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 16GB dual SIM. Rooted, Google play store closes automatically

Hello there I've just got Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 16GB dual SIM. as this model is selling in China so all the Google related apps is locked.
I then rooted the phone by following the instructions provided by this web : https: // support.mobicity.com/entries/22148360-How-to-flash-the-Google-Play-Store-on-the-Dual-SIM-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9502 (sorry i im unable to post link outside directly here as i am a new comer)
After i done it, i went through the google phone setups just as what showing in the video(you can see the video from the web above) however after i enter my google acc number and password, i then received this error message "unfortunately google play has stopped" , but just one moment before i got that error message, i got another message says that i have few apps installed have its update available in google app store(so i assume that the google app store is working, but for some reason it stopped) . I had a look on the internet and tried all the solutions i.e. go to app manager clear all the data, force to stop and start again, it didnt workout. I also tried delete google play store and instal it again, still got the same problem. I installed Gmail from other android app store, and it works no problems on my phone, and google map has no problems to locate and navigate. I tried to download apps from google play web, and it did work as well as it seems still need to lunch the actual app on my phone, so when i trying to download apps from google play web i got the same error message from my phone. could some plz help with it. i'd be so much appreciate.

This version of the S4 is not even closely related to yours. You'd be best served using the i9500 forum.

[Q] Disguise Tablet as another?

Hi there!
Is there a way to disguise my Tablet (Medion Lifetab) as something different, something more common, like a Nexus 10 or Galaxy 10 or something, so I can access certain Apps from the store? Searched, but couldn't really find something.
Thanks in advance

Apps from Google Play store don't know what type of Tablet you have, it doesn't work that way. I'm just guessing here, but I think it depends what flavour of Android (Gingerbread, Jelly Bean, Kit Kat) your running and the version of the App Store your running as to what you can download. (Maybe someone with more knowledge could confirm this)
Best bet for you is to research Custom ROM's and see what is avaliable, you might be able to run CyanogenMod or something. Look for forums for your specific tab maybe google it.
Hope that helps.
** Quick Google search for "Medion Lifetab Custom ROM" brought this up, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097162 suggest you start learning to use the internet better ;0)

[Q] Samsung SmartView 2.0 App for all devices

hi there,
I was looking for a way to get the latest version of Samsung's SmartView 2.0 App running on my HTC One or my Nexus 7. I found several threads about the older (1.0) version but no information whatsoever about the new one.
Play store says that it's not compatible with my devices. Is there a way to get it running?
regards

only rumour but the up coming Z1 is able to run android apps
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Free mobile app
Rumor sadly incorrect: Android apps won't run on the Z1.
I'd love to find a way to install Android apps on the Gear S. The Tizen app store is such a joke
Google won't let Samsung get away with installing Google Play Market apps, especially Google services apps on a non-sanctioned OS, especially the one Samsung is hoping to compete against Android OS. So, the best Samsung can do is create its own app market and hope devs are supporting it. I seriously doubt this will take off. Samsung can't even make its own Android app work correctly across its own ranges of Android phones. They know how to make fantastic phones but their software has always below average.

Glad im not the only one.
I too have been searching for how to do this. Did you ever succeed?
I found some android 5.0 links from a google search, but they look fake. wonder if CM11 or CM12 would work OR the method used for the gear 2. Sure would be nice. i almost got the ZGPAX S8 (nearly the same guts), but opted for the Gear S (for the scren) w/ hopes for the eventual android ROM.
Fingers Crossed,
:good:
hasnt happened, there is nothing in the works, any links on google that say otherwise are false....

Google Services on imported Huawei Mate 10?

Hi, I imported a Huawei Mate 10 2.5 years ago from China because it's the only way I could get a phone that has a 16:9 screen!
However, I can't download the NHS Test and Trace app (I'm in the UK), and while I have Google Play Services, I understand I need Google Services. Can someone please explain the way to get this in the most simple terms? Thanks.
Can someone help, please?

I've no idea if that's genuine, but the fact is, I just want to get Google Services, so I can download the NHS app officially.

I was hoping someone could tell me here, as I understood this was the font of all knowledge.
The method I used was:
I happen to have mate 9, which was running Android version 9 and Mate 10 Pro AL00 ( just like you) with ver 10.
- I used HiSuite to downgrade my 10Pro to Android 9
- Use backup on Mate 9 and backed up google services, google play onto external USB drive
- connected the same drive and copied files to 10 Pro - download dir
- install google services and google play on 10 Pro
- update 10Pro to ver 10 using HiSuite
