Hi Friends,
I am using SamHD v.3.2 ROM since last 2 days.
All fine except following :-
1. If I create folder on desktop and create some app shortcuts in that folder after reboot the folder remains but links will disappeared, even shortcut added in drawer will also disappear.
2. Status bar tweaks are not working like as if we set Signal bars 4 to 5 or change battery icon style, all are not effecting.
3. After installing SamHD V3 the Google Play (on any browser) is not showing my device. I have tried all possible solutions like as clearing data of Google Play, Google Ser. Framework etc. even reinstalling updating of all these apps. Working fine on device (e.g. Talk, Play, Google+, Maps etc.) but not showing device under device list in Browser. I also tested on two handset's, same problem.
Will anyone help on these issue.
Thanks
yes

Please help me on this.....
So here the problem : As you are aware many times this problem seems to "popup" from Google Servers I mean "my apps" tab simply doesn' show your apps and gives just a white page with "Apps" and Games buttons telling you that "here will appear account applications" or something like that.
- freezing and wiping all Market and Google framework related apps with totally unlinking user apps from the market simply give you 2 seconds of happiness listing all your installed apps but after few moments the problem is there again.
- data format, fresh reinstalling OMEGA rom or other 2.3.6 rom seems to give the same result : signing up with my account (without any apps installed) gives the list of applications but installing just one and the problem face off.
- trying to reinstall my old backup of stock (not deodexed) 2.3.4 roms seems to give the list back and stay there.
So basically my stock original rom works (2.3.4) the other deodexed 2.3.6 seems to have this problem with my account.
Another thing I have seen is that if I unlink all my apps from my account seems to not work (also wiping data of market app) and if it does (resetting my account e signing back) after a while the list from "uninstalled" became "installed" so it seems that google automatically get the installed apps from my phone and link them.
No Idea.
Hope it will fix itself as other user reported time ago.

Download market fixer, see what apps are causing the problem and tjen just temove them or unlink from the market

Might sound silly but if you use multiple Google accounts with your device make sure that you select your default one through the market.
I was going mad for awhile myself until I spotted this so hopefully it is nothing more.

Hi,
When I am on a data connection, if I open play store on my phone, I am able to download & update apps, but I cannot see the icons or screenshots that is displayed on any app's page. The screenshot area says "Couldn't load screenshots - Retry".
I repeat that I can download & update apps just fine.
Even the main page (the featured app page that appears whenever you start play store) displays images as grey squares, but the text displays perfectly.
However everything works perfectly on WiFi. This issue occurs only while I'm on data.
Thanks.

could be a few things, firstly what data connection are you how, gprs, hspda, hspa+ , 4g
secondly your signall strength, how many bars and thirdly if these are all ok, i think there might be a setting in either the browser or market to tell the phone whether to display images while on data connection, this setting is there for people with low data allowance, but this shouldnt be the problem unless you have previously changed this yourself, as it is set to show images default
I am on a 3G connection.
There is no speed or connectivity problems as I can download even large apps smoothly & instantly.
All web-browsing, internet radio etc, works fine.
It is only in play store I cannot see images & icons. I get "could not download screen shots - Retry".
If, as you say, there is a setting to not display images in play store, please tell me where it is ?
Thanks!
I have similar issue on my Nexus 7 after updating to v4.2.2
I have similar issue on my Nexus 7 after updating to v4.2.2. Google Play won't show any screenshots and Google Currents won't show any images. EVERYTHING else works ok.
Unfortunately, I still hasn't found a solution to the issue. Just living with it.
Does it work ok with Wi-Fi? Mine does. I only get the problem with data connection.
If you haven't rooted or installed a custom Rom, you could take it to the service centre, and see what they have to say.

I found it. You have to set your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888200

Hello
So whenever I flash a ROM that I also have to flash gapps, when I go to the Play icon everything loads fine except I do not have any icon to be able to get to stuff like 'my apps' and such.
the only two icons i have at the top is the Google play and then the search icon to the right.
This is driving my nuts as I want to run a couple of ROMS but i cant download any of my apps from the play store.

Depending on the Rom in use, enable the recent apps as menu option, enable menu overflow, or both.
I've just looked at my apps list in the play store and there is loads of my installed apps missing they are installed on my phone but not showing up in the list. Could someone please tell me where they have gone and how to get them back.

This has happened to me as well. I think I started after Google Play was updated to version 4.3.11.
I have like 120 apps installed. The "Installed" tab under "My apps" now says I've got 9: Barcode Scanner, GTasks Key, K-9 Mail, Official XBMC Remote, Pure Calendar, Pure Grid Calendar, Soundhound, Superuser and USSD/MMI Fix. If I flip to the "All" tab, all my apps are still there. From there I can view information about the apps, but those that are not among those 9 will say that they're not compatible with my device.
My device is a rooted HTC Desire Z (called G2/Vision in North America), with some "EliteMod" 4.0.4 ROM - which have been working perfectly for well over a year. I was thinking it was some kind of Apple-style scam by Google to force users of old, rooted devices to upgrade.. xD
When trying (and failing) to figure out how to tell a living person at Google that 90 % of my installed apps and probably 99 % of the apps in Play Store are missing, I discovered the following added comment here:
"We’ve heard of some users suddenly missing apps under the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app. This is a known issue that we are currently investigating, and updates can be found on our Known Issues page."
I found no updates on it on the "Known issues" page, though.
I have the same problem
Hey guys,
I have the same problem after updating Play Store to 4.3.11. My installed apps went missing, I am not able to search for any apps on Play Store, app in all apps tab arent available in my country anymore (all these apps were available in my country before the update) play.google.com does not show my device, well its really frustrating. I wonder when google will fix this problem. I guess its something to do with their framework services.

I've fixed it today, I'm not exactly sure how, as I tried a dozen different things I read online. Including uninstalling Adfree, removing hosts-file, clearing app-data for some Google Service-apps, flashing gapps one more time, etc.
But what I did just before it started working again, was to remove my Google account (the one used on Play Store, you can remove it from "Accounts/Synchronization" under Settings), restart the device, and then re-add the account again (in "Accounts/Synchronization"-settings). Then everything became as perfect as it was.

Thanks trollsperm. I will try that today. BTW, I have observed one more thing. The playstore works just fine after a new flash on Wi-Fi, but it goes back to the no working state as soon as I switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Network. Have you encountered that?
I have tried your suggestion of deleting the account and re-add the account. This was the outcome
1.The play store started working fine and app sync was flawless. This was on Wi-Fi
2. I switched to the mobile internet and the play store worked fine until I rebooted the phone. The play store stopped working and apps were missing after the reboot with the mobile network on.
3. I then cleared the play store cache and data and switched on WiFi. Opened play store and voila the play store worked normally.
4. I did the same process on the mobile network but it didn't work out.
I guess the Google location services are kinda screwed up on the mobile network and not on WiFi.

Then I'm afraid your issue is different than mine. For me, the result have always been the same, whether or not I'm on Wifi or mobile. I can now browse Play Store both on Wifi and mobile, and rebooting changes nothing.
When I experienced the issue of "empty" Play Store, the Wifi-connection icon in the upper right corner were always gray (instead of blue) - something that's usually only happening if I'm connected to a wireless network, but the router isn't connected to the actual internet.
My conclusion is inconclusive, I'm just happy that it's back to normal..
Hi guys,
I'm facing the exact same problem as rahulananda.
In my case, the play store running on my Galaxy S4 and also on my notebook, is empty - searchs returns nothing and whey I access directly an app page, it says the app is not available in my country (Brazil).
For me, play store works fine over when mobile data (4G) is enabled, it doesn't work at all on wifi.
I also have a Galaxy S3 which is working perfectly on wifi and also mobile data.
It doesn't seem to be related to play store version, as in all my devices it is currently on version 4.3.11 - besides it is also not working on my laptop.
But, indeed, this is an issue to determine the location - for some reason, over my wifi, and rahulananda's mobile data, Play Store is unable to determine the country.
I found this on Google's Known issues: support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en reffer to issue 8324410.
Hope they fix this soon, this is driving me crazy!!!
Let me know if you find a solution!
Its a simple fix as long as you have root.If you do look at this:
1. Navigate to the Build.prop
2. Find these 2 lines:
Code:
ro.build.description=
ro.build.fingerprint=
3. Delete everything in front of the "=" sign
4. Download a custom rom for another device that has great compatibility with apps(htc one, sgs4)
5. Copy those lines from its build.prop to yours
6. Reboot and Enjoy your market:good:
Well, my problem has been solved after applying the latest CM10 nightly update.

Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Nexus 5X and I am running Android O Preview 3 using the Nova Launcher 5.2
Phone is not rooted and bootloader is still locked.
I recently downloaded the Android O Preview 3 OTA update directly f System Update settings. I was just before the OTA update running Android 0 Preview 2.
Problem :
Once the device updated and rebooted everything is working like a charm. Except, I found out that some of my widgets on my home-screen are not working anymore.
I can only see a grey rectangle with an Play icon and under written Setup. (see image attached)
I had 3 of those widgets and they were all "My Play Library" (One for My Movies, My Books and My Newstand).
When I try to re-add it from the widget menu. It's nowhere to be found it completely disappeared.
Any other people have this problem. Got a way to fix this ?
It was working correctly on Android 0 Preview 2.
I even tried to reboot and wipe the cache partition, tried also to change to another launcher like google now launcher to see if problem was related to Nova Launcher but still it's not there at all in either cases.
[/LIST]
Thank You

Woke up this morning and mine was gone too. Looked exactly like your screenshot. I didn't install any updates though, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow, it was just gone. Google probably just killed it out of nowhere, as Google does.
This also happened to me. I'm wondering if it will ever come back. Any ideas for an alternative widget in the meantime?
Happened to me today as described. Sucks as it was my favourite feature to have all my books on my home screen.
Current solution was to add a folder using root explorer to data/app called com.android.vending-1.apk then go to airplane mode and force stop Play Store and uninstall updates. That reverted my Play Store app and prevented it from auto updating which will do for now.
Will link source to that tip when not on mobile.
Also interested in alternative widgets for this purpose.
Yeah, I noticed mine was gone too. I hope they add it back...
Adding more. Happen on my old nexus 7 2013. Definitely linked to Google removing the widget from the play store apk. Dammit it was a great widget. I could easily see my movies books and magazine. I'm pissed they did this without notice.
got the same problem on my galaxy S7 edge running Nougat, it's a right PITA
What a bummer! Gone for me too, on a completely stock Galaxy Tab S3 running Nougat. I used it for the digital magazines I subscribe to in Google Play Newsstand and it just disappeared without any notice.
Dammit Google. I used that for books too, on a 12" tablet, full screen. It was awesome. Why not fix it instead of removing it just like that? There are many of us who liked it a lot. Geez.
Anybody able to create a widget app that could replicate what the 'my library' app did?
