Today I was setting my apps to auto update when two of them said "not found". They are Tapatalk and Shapewriter. Anyone else notice they are missing from market? Is it just me?
What's going on with the vanishing apps?

Wow, nobody has a moment to verify?
Verified. I just updated my girlfriend's Fascinate (a wonderful adventure within itself), but after an Odin and update I was able to verify the issue. I even tried searching for it on market.android.com and was not able to find it. She cannot find two apps (one being a horoscope app, the other being some girly app that I can't remember ). I have seen this issue before with leaked updates, but wouldn't expect it from an "official" and "signed" update - which was also leaked and has been out for two months on here lol.
In doing some additional research, I found it is blocked via Verizon. If I use Market Unblocker (in market) and fake a t mobile ID i can see both apps just fine.
WTF? Why is Verizon blocking random apps?

Ok. Yesterday, I rooted my HTC EVO 4G LTE using regawMOD. I paid special attention to follow the directions. Especially the one telling me to reset Google Wallet. And the operation was a success, after the second try.
I first noticed the problem when I tried to purchase a paid app on Play. I started getting error messges to sign in to Google Wallet. When I opened it it had a yellow message saying that my EVO was an unsupported device. Still I logged in. At first the payment went through, and email confirmed that. While waiting for the download to start, I got another email saying the order had been cancelled, followed by an error notice that the download was declined.
I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem? And, if so, if they have found a workaround, short of downloading/flashing .apk's from the web?
p.s. I haven't had a problem downloading free apps, yet.
We have like 100 threads on this topic already. Google Wallet isn't working. I think you might have to used your actual credit card.
And there in lies the problem. Wallet/Play Store won't allow me to download any paid apps, regardless of the payment method. And it's not just on my LTEVO. Getting the same problem on my OG EVO.
They just put out a update for Google wallet... Not sure I should upgraded best bg rooted... Will it break anything?

After updating, I had the same problem. So, I went into Titanium and uninstalled Wallet. Now,the Play Store seems to be working fine.
Hey guys, Due to some bug or something my Play Store doesnt work (On both my phones & PC, It has to do with my Google Account country) I contacted Google and they told me nothing could be done about it.
I was wondering if any of you know of a good App Market that doesn't link to the Play Store? I tried GetJar, AppBrain & BAM but they all link to the Play Store page. (It always says "This item is not available in your country" unless Ive installed it before)
I also tried SlideME but it didn't even have some very known apps.
Thanks!
What phone and what country provider? If all the google apk's are in system/app its should not matter.There are some lines to reference market in build.prop also. check for these in system/app/ most countries are not blocked. If all else fails ill upload you amazon market and it should work for your google market replacement.

Im using a Nexus 4 with CM10.1 Nightly 20130212, The app store used to work fine until 3 days ago when it suddenly just stopped showing apps.
Everything works perfectly but it just doesnt display any apps, The only place (And apps) I can see are the ones in the All Apps tab in My Apps.
Using 3rd party market browsers I can see apps when & They take me to the Play Store page to download they always say "This item is not available in your country"
The Play Store also doesnt work on my other phone (I bought this Nexus 3 months ago) & On the PC. Using a VPN on the PC works though, Which leads me to believe it has to do with my country.
I live in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) & Its in the list of Paid App Availability so that means it should work.
Something weird that I noticed is the new "Market Enabler stopped working" threads around here, Which leads me to believe Google changed something in their country checking & That screwed me over.
I contacted Google Support 2 days ago I explainign everyhting I did (Clear cache, Reflash, Reinstall Gapps, Change DPI, Etc) got this response:
Thanks for this valuable information. We really appreciate it, and it's because of people like you that we can improve the Google Play experience for all users.
We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it.

Thanks, Ill try out the Amazon market!
How exactly do I go on about using MarketEnabler?
I just went into Airplane mode, Force Stopped & Cleared the data of the Download Manager, Google Services, Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Changed provider to AT&T US, Rebooted (Still in plane mode), Turned off plane more & Tried Play Store.
Still got the same problem, Its tied to my IP I believe because not even the PC Webstore works (Unless through a VPN)
So amazon market doesn't work? I always use the Verizon set in enabler. I'll do my best to help you out. In the Dr.office about to get pins pulled out of my arm right now. I'll see what I can come up with and get back with you. I have a few other devs I'll ask for some additional support.

The Amazon Market does work, Thanks alot for that Its the normal Play Store that doesnt (Even with MarketEnabler)
Just to test it out again I tried going into the Webstore Play Store through a VPN & It works perfectly, So its definitely my IP.
I guess Google just booted my country out of the Play Store...
Post me a copy of your build.prop I'll check it out and see if I can get your phone set for another country. Does your phone need a SIM card?

This is my daily carrier, Its got a Curacao SIM on it (From UTS).
I uploaded the build.prop as an attachment (Changed .prop to .txt otherwise it wouldent upload)
The build.prop does say "ro.product.locale.region=US", I went to the US almost specifically to buy this phone.
OK what i see is the google client missing,and your fingerprints reflected your country, here ive set it for sprint-us. Since i cant test for you, its up to you to try this out. here is your build.txt updated.when you make this a.prop and go to drop it in,be sure to rename old build.prop bak.prop first. then copy to system reboot twice wipe all cache and dalvik caches. all i changed was what needed to adjust to u.s sprint in google market.Hopefully this will fix it for you.please look over and see what changes ive made so if this works you can do it anytime you like. Always nandroid backup before making changes.

Nope, doesnt work. The phone just has a black screen after showing the Google logo when booting up.
Just incase this was my method:
1. Push your build.prop to the sdcard through ADB
2. Go into CM's file manager
3. Deleted build.prop from "/system" (Ofcourse, I backed it up first)
4. Pasted build.prop that I previously pushed to sdcard
5. Reboot
6. Wipe cache+Dalvik
7. Reboot
Kind of offtopic:
Something weird that I found is that going through the CM file manager the "/system" folder is full of folders & Build.prop is there.
To get to the sd card I have to go through "/storage/emulated/0/"...
When Im in TWRP's file manager, the "/system" folder (With no build.prop or any other files)only has "bin" folder (Empty) <-- I actually had to reflash CM to get the phone to work again since putting the old build.prop there didnt work.
To get to the sdcard I just go to "/sdcard"
Theres also alot more files on the main folder in CM's file manager (acct, config, firmware, etc.) than on TWRP's (TWRP only should a few of the folders/files that CM's filemanager does)
I cannot seem to find the "usual" files while on TWRP's file manager (Maybe theyre hidden?) but I can do so with CM's.
I can use both "/sdcard" & "/storage/emulated/0" on ADB to push files into it which means they are the same folder. (Unless if Im in TWRP, Then using "/storage/emulated/0" gives me an unrecognized error)
General question: Are important files hidden in TWRP's file manager? It seems to be inconsistent with CM's file manager

Same problem here, also in Curacao. Since December (around the 24th?) the playstore didn't work anymore on tablets but it still worked on the phones (I have an SGS / I9000). The tablets would get an error 'DF-DFERH-01' but with the phone it's different now - it seems to work but it doesn't show any (new) apps and it started a couple of days ago.
I have the same experience - even on the PC google play store isn't showing any apps but it works fine if you go through a VPN (try 'hidemyass.com').
As for the response from google - the response you got is the EXACT same response as is in the thread for the tablet problems since December, so don't hold your breath.
I'm really disappointed in Google here and considering going to the dark side (iphone or probably blackberry again). I've been waiting for 2 months now and no fixes, instead it's getting worse. Sony Tablet hasn't been working for two months now (play store).
With twrp you have to click mount then click system,data blah blah. Then use file manager and you'll see everything. Sorry I couldn't get you guys straight hopefully the Amazon market will do fine for you.

I just use papktop.com and Iranian Bazaar market app (http://getbazaar.com/en/)
It's in English.
You could try blackmart alpha, but it gives cracked apps.

I have got a new phone, and I want to transfer one app in particular over from my old one. One problem: The app is a paid one, and its not longer in the play store.
Can anyone help?
Or possibly suggest an app that allows to browse the web, and download most any type of video found, all while having a handy popup blocker.
Before, I tried finding the .apk file and just transferring it and installing but it didnt work fully.
Here's what happened: The app comes in 2 parts, the main app and "plugins" for the app that allow it to download more video formats. Like i thnk .mp4 is supported by main app but .flv is supported by paid plugin (.99 cents)
The said plugin refused to work when just transferred over as an apk file. It probably somehow knew that it was not "paid" for a second time. I'd LOVE to pay for it, but its not in the app store.
So is there any way to scrub it from one phone, and transfer the "licence" (or w/e it is it uses to verify the phone its on) to the new phone?
I have heard of an app called Titanium Backup. Can that app possibly help me? If so, I heard it requires root, which I currently dont have. Can some one tell me how to root my phone?
Its Motorola MB860, Android Version 2.3.6
Try to backup the APP with TiBU and transfer the TiBU backup.
Update Play Store if You don't have latest. When You have old Play Store your paid app wont show on the list.
Hi, I have a non carrier SM-G965U1 that I have put on AT&T and, none of the AT&T visual voicemail apps on the Play Store or APK mirror have worked. I am wondering if anybody else has got it to work on the non carrier device or, if anyone that has the AT&T variant could extract the factory visual voicemail app as an APK?

I just got mine to work. Got to APK mirror and download the app. Put the app on your phone and install it from the APK.
Which version of the app did you use?
4.2.0.0028
Thanks, I got it installed but during setup it tried to send a text to att and that failed so, it had me call my voicemail to configure visual voicemail. When I did that, I want able to find any prompt to do so. What was you experience for setup?
It gave me an error at first. Then I exited the app, opened it again and it worked.

Update: it works ****ty. App works but it doesnt refresh right away and I get a text message when I get a voicemail.... ATT is starting to piss me off.
Yeah I guess this is the price you pay for having a non carrier device. It's bloat free and branding free but, visual voicemail also goes away.
