Wondering if anybody else has run into this. I have a few apps I can't restore via Titanium Backup due to the "Tablet mode only" warning on the PadFone X. That's fine, they normally install anyway via Play Store. But I cannot get Surgeon Simulator to install- ASUS gives that warning, and then the Play Store errors out with a -15, then an unknown error, while the status bar reports successful install. Anybody else having this issue?
EDIT: Correction, PS Touch and Osmos HD are both also now failing to install, same thing.
EDIT 2: The last two apps installed fine now. Surgeon Simulator downloaded 230MB or whatever it was and failed out. Now, it only downloads 10.34MB and returns error -15, as well as "invalid resource URI".
EDIT 3: Through logcat sleuthing and rapid refreshing of files, I've figured out that it's not specifically PadFone that's doing this. It's just not downloading the complete APK to the device.
EDIT 4: DOWNGRADING to a much OLDER Play Store version resolves it. WTF?

[Q] Can not install certain apps? (not compatible with "Malata GTablet-TNT-Lite)??
I installed the market fix after installing TNT Lite 4.4 and everything seems to be ok. I could not find or install 'LauncherPro' until I went directly to the website.
I can not find 'Dolphin HD Browser' when I search in the market place (although I see other Dolphin related items). I went to the Dolphin website and clicked download and the marketplace told me the location was invalid.
What the heck is going on?
Thanks!
Same here - the Dolphin HD is not listed in the marked place for my device. And it won't "Install" if I cancel the "filter by device" in Windos.
I figured it out (I guess)... I had to perform the following steps again for some reason:
1) Go into Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Market - Clear CACHE - Force Stop
(For TnT/TnT Lite... Settings - Applications - System Applications)
2) Press back once - Google Services Framework - Clear DATA - Force Stop
3) Go back to your home screen and open up the market. You should get an error. If not, redo steps 4 and 5 until you do.
4) Reboot your device. After it starts back up let it sit for a minute or two to let things in the operating system normalize. Open the Market. Reboot your device.
I actually did not reboot again as stated in step 4 because I opened the market and it worked no problem.
If anyone could explain this it would be great.
I did that "marketplace fix" before I posted and nothing... I guess I will try one more time.
LE: It worked! Yahoo! Messenger was missing too...
I've done the fix multiple times and still can't see Dolphin when I search the market. I actually side loaded it and it still doesn't show up. ideas? One thing I haven't tried is messing with the market updater service, as I haven't seen any othe threads say anything about this.
Hello all! Please help!!! I have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" that I have successfully used each and every day until yesterday. All of a sudden I kept getting the "Google Play Store has stopped" error message. I went back into ES File Explorer and hit the "Google Play services_4.4.52" file and installed hoping that this might help and now when I click on the "Google Play Games" app I get the "Update Google Play Services - This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services" Update message. Also nothing shows up inside the "Google Play Store" app as well.
WHAT DO I DO & HOW DO I DO IT?!?!?!?! I use this Kindle ALL the time and love it, but don't want to mess anything up any further without taking the proper steps from the experts!
Don't know if this is all the information you might need (my Google Play Store Build Version is 5.3.6). If I can provide anything further to troubleshoot, please let me know.
THANK YOU MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
I'm leaving town late this afternoon and hope to fix beforehand.
My 8.9 HDX is doing this too. I was wondering what changed.
My kindle fire 7" is doing the same. Was working fine yesterday and then today error after error. Now google play store shows "check your connection and try again" no joy there either. "Google Play services has stopped" repeatedly popping up.
Happening to my hdx too. Hopefully someone finds out what's going on soon.

Google Play services 7.3.x began rolling out last week and will silently update existing installations without notification/permission. Believe the prior version was 7.0.
Best guess is 7.3.x introduces an incompatibility with Fire OS 3.2.6 (likely all 3.x Mojito variants). Hopefully someone can identify a fix. Rolling back to v7.0 or earlier won't help as it will quickly auto update.
Google Play Services and Google Play Store are separate entities. The latter is currently at v5.3.x transitioning to v5.4.x. The two services can and often do update independently (and silently).

That's what I was thinking.
Those affected should downgrade Google Play Services to a previous version and prevent it from auto-updating.
Unfortunately, this prohibits the use of GApps on their latest versions or so, such as YouTube 5.0+
Try this
Go into your file browser that has root permissions I recommend es file manager.
Navigate to device press etc folder
Scroll to file named hosts open it with a text editor like the one in es file manager.
Delete the # sign or if still not working the whole text in it.
Once done reboot it may solve the issue. Worked for me on multiple devices.
This fix is for those who get the no connection error with retry button below it on play store or youtube.. This also applies to the your device may not be provisioned for data services error on sign in to Google account.
How do I know which magic 3 letter extension to get when I go to the repository for older versions? In particular I have the 7" Kindle Fire HDX. Secondly, assuming that I get the correct version, how do I install it? I assume that the standard click on a apk file won't work because its a lower version than what's currently installed?

Hey.
How to find correct version:
1. You need an installed version on your tablet (doesnt matter if its the non working new one or the one you had from beginning).
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> all apps and browse to "google play services"
3. click it
4. below the name of the app (here "google play services") is the version of the installed app. The last 3 letters are the one you need. I have a "german" Kindle Fire HDX 7 (codename Thor) and i have version 036
Beside from that:
I managed to keep my kindle "unupdated" for 3 days now.. dont know if it stays this way. You need root and a root browser like ES File Explorer.
0. have root and install ES File Explorer of amazon store or play store or APK
1. download the 7.0.99 Version of "google play services" (last version that worked here) from any source you think is ok^^
2. uninstall "google play services" (in app menu see above)
3. disconnect from internet
4. install the downloaded 7.0.99 version
5. open ES File Explorer
6. go to /data/app and look for "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" this should be the 7.0.99 you just installed.
7. create a file (in /data/app) and name it "com.google.android.gms-2.apk"
8. Youre done.
Like this youtube, twitch, etc which stopped working with the 4.x version work and as the OS "thinks" that the ...-2.apk is the correct one, it tries to update this (which doesnt work as its an empty file).
All here is at your own risk!!!

With some exceptions v036 should work for most JellyBean and KitKat installations including those on Kindle HDX. I can confirm 036 works with the Nexus rom; don't have my tablet handy to check CM11. I suspect the same can be said for the gaps hacks on Fire OS which is either JB (Mojito) or KK (Sangria) based.
Good day!
I'm using a device running in Android 5.1 (with MediaTek - MT6592m).
I am encountering Error Code:-504 on "SOME" apps and games when downloading them on playstore.
When I try to download the apk file of those apps and games to install, it results to "Application not installed".
BUT those apps and games should work fine on Android 5.1 ...
Is there any definite solution to this?
My co-unit users, find a way on how to install them.
They use a certain third party app (that I can't name) and choose to install those apps and games as "system app".
The pain there is that, why do we need to root just to install supposedly normal apk.
Hope someone could explain or give solution to this.
Thank you very much!

Alright, first, I should point out that I'm not a developer, I've never worked with adb and so on. I'm posting here because I don't know where else to post.
So, I'm trying to install Tekken mobile on my phone (Galaxy S8 Exynos version, Android 7.0, rooted with Magisk and I also have TWRP). When I search the game in the Google Play store app, it doesn't show up. I have to search the play store in the browser and open it in the Play Store from there. If I press install it downloads normally, but when it gets to the installing phase, it gives me an error 910. If I try to sideload it, the apk installer fails to install it and says that the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name. But the game isn't already installed on my phone. The whole story is: I actually had the game installed and needed to update it, but the update would fail (Google Play Store error 910), so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, error 910 again, I tried to sideload it and the packages are in conflict for some reason, even though the game isn't installed. Can anyone help me fix this?
