[Q] Google play no longer showing tablet apps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As of recently, I've noticed that the play store no longer has tablet spptlight, or even show which apps are made of tablet.
I used to be able go see "Designed for phones", but now nothing at all.
Does this mean Google doesnt care anymore?

Nobody?

Unfortunately, its still the case.

This is not an issue for others? I feel as if Google abandoned tablet owners.

We might help if we knew what was going on. Can you access the internet in your browser? In other apps? Or is it just play store?
If it's just play store, remove your google account, clear data for play store, and then re-add your google account and try. Failing that, delete the play store apk, search for it here on xda, and reinstall the play store apk.

Maybe you want to clear away the cache or data for the Google Play apps?
You can do this under settings->Application Manager. Look for the "Goolgle Play Store" and tap on it.
It will bring up another screen where you can clear away the data.
Just a suggestion....

Do not own my old devices

I used to own a Nexus 10 and a Note II, sold them.
Google seems to think I still own the devices.
How can I tell Google they are not mine?

Have you wiped them and removed your Google account before selling them?

Then the only issue is that you still see them in the Play Store, right? You can hide them from the list, but you can't delete them.
Log in from a computer and go to play store settings and hide it from there.
Ok Thanks. I hide them I was hoping Google Play allowed you to delete them but if hiding them is the best I can do .....
Google play has 6 devices listed I only own one tablet and one smart phone.
Thanks Again.

[Q] cm11 "Your device isn't compatible"

After updating my nook tablet 8G to cm11 (cm-11-20131224-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip), google play shows "Your device isn't compatible" for some apps that I've used on cm10.1.3. One example is automateit pro. I was able to restore the app using titanium backup and it will run but I'm not able to update it.
Google play doesn't give much of a clue as to why its not compatible. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
Todd
I've seen this error on some recent 10.2 builds as well, and with fairly common apps e.g., Amtrak, Flightview, etc.
I have the same problem with CM11-20140226-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip. How to fix it?

the app store at www.1mobile.com is a clone of play store and has never complained about app compatability for me.
it occassionally fails on updating an app, but in general it works just fine.

Google Play Store issue under Chinese stock EUI

I am on Chinese stock EUI 20S. I downloaded play store from Lestore. It cannot recognize my purchased apps. It asked me to buy them again. Should I install other play store manually? Thanks.

Same happened to me. To fix it go to settings/app management /Google play store/storage and clear data and cache. Then when you open play store again it will ask you to log in again. It should now show purchased items again.

Things work ok. Only issues I have is sometimes Gmail won't sync until I manually do it and other times it works fine. It sends texts several times sometimes and some don't come through but that could also be an EE issue where I am as it constantly switches from 4g to 3g to 2g as on edge of good reception so my not be a phone issue at all.

Google Play - disable autoupdate.

Hi all dear XDA users.
I have a problem with the Play Store. I need to disable the auto update of the Play Store itself (not to be confused with excluding application updates). If anyone knows a way and would be able to share it, I would be very grateful.

Play store settings/network preference/automatically update apps.
I am not talking about updating the application via the Play Store, but about disabling the auto-update of the Play Store Application itself.

It seems to me that it's the same thing or else put restrictions on the play store by prohibiting Wifi and data, by doing this you will no longer have any updates.
