I've tried downloading the Microsoft web apps from Google Play. It says my device isn't compatible. According to Microsoft, the requirements for using the web apps w/an Android phone are that the phone run Android 4.0 or later. My HTC One Max runs Android 4.4.2.
Any ideas on why I'm getting a message the Microsoft web apps are not compatible w/my device? (I've already posted help on the Microsoft website in a forum. I wasn't sure where else to look for an answer.)

It could be from the lcd density of the phone which is set at 400 is makes several apps not compatible with this device.
Ohhhhhhhh...That's good to know. How can I confirm if the LCD density of my device is, indeed 400? (It looks like my device would have to be rooted in order to change the LCD density. I'm not doing this, but I'm interested in knowing.)
It is 400 if you are stock.

There is a paid app from Navioinics that I want to buy for my A70IT but I cannot see it from Google Market:
I can see it from AppBrain, but I still cannot load it.
I suspect that this is because Navionics filter market access to only those devices that they have certified: Samsung Galaxy, Acer Liquid, HTC Desire, HTC Dream, HTC Hero, HTC Incredible, HTC Tattoo, Motorola Droid, Nexus One and Xperia x10.
Is there any way to get an A70IT to pretend it is one of these devices?
TIA. Don.
PS. I have contacted Navionics and requested that they add the Archos tablets to their list, but since Archos does not belong to the OHA and cannot officially offer Google Market I suspect that this will not happen any time soon.
I was able to buy copilot on my Nexus, install it, uninstall it, get the key, sideload it to a101, install it with key.
Depending on key generation with navionics, you should be able to dl it on cert device, back it up with astro or something and then side load it. if it has a separate installer and internal product checking, then you may be SOL.
is there a virtual android image for the SDK that could work ? to make the market believe that you have phone and gps on hte device. Then one would get the app on the SDK emulator and extract it to then push it to the real archos device ?
Was anyone successful in using the Virtual image for that purpose?
I am looking for the same thing, just some apps that I could use but cannot be downloaded from the market because of filters.

More than likely this is a "protected" app. Protected apps are the only apps that do not show up on the market, even after the market fix.
Can you explain to this noob exactly what a "protected" app is? What is protecting or protected from?
I'm having the same problem, except the app actually showed up and was downloaded. But after starting it, there was a dialog that popped up stating "Territory Restricted", and that it could only be used in the US. Problem is, I *am* in the US. The app is "Thumbplay".
I looked through all 5 pages of this section and didn't see anyone address my question so here goes.
Does the Archos 70 come loaded with the standard Anrdoid Marketplace? If not, do we have a working method to download it and allow it to work?

Its not because Google had said that a Android Device have to have Gps and other stuff.
but its quite easily to "hack" the market on our gen8 tabs
Am I missing something here? App is not compatible with some of your devices.
Htc Evo- check
Transformer Tablet- no check
I need to understand the developer side of this coin. I have been trying to persuade Jawbone to update their android app "Jawbone Companion" to support my tablet. I don't know, but I assume their would be a publisher option in Google Play to add or delete supported devices so that they cannot be installed on those from the Play store. For example, I had to go to the website to find the app because search shows no results on the tablet.
It's a bluetooth headset. It supports 2.1+edr. App supported on Android OS 4.0, OS 2.3 and select OS 2.2 phones. Transformer tf300 has bluetooth. It supports 3.0+edr. It has ICS and is certainly more capable than a 2.2 phone.
Sooo the only difference I see from this side is a bigger screen. I have emailed at least 3 app makers that I use frequently and they just keep saying it's not tablet supported. So do they just have to add devices to some file that cross checks with Google Play or is the code for my tablet so drastically different that they would have to write a whole new app for tablets?
A technical explanation link of the whole developer process regarding this would be nice.
Update to OP
I have found a method of downloading apk files in the Chrome browser with the APK Downloader extension. It only works with Chrome and I logged into my wife's account, did a quick search for my apps in question, then proceeded to download them to pc by making play think it was sending the apk to my wife's "supported" phone. Then I manually transferred the apks to my "unsupported" tablet where they are now running fine, no errors and no resolution problems.
I have emailed the developers of these apps and they have blown me off by saying that tablets in general are not supported, I emailed them all back telling them their apps were working fine and I didn't understand why they couldn't have allowed me to just download it the easy way.
So are they just being lazy? This just reinforces my reasoning that the phone and tablet are about the same and don't require any more coding than any other app that has problems on certain phones. Seems to me as long as the resolution is high enough and it allows auto rotation that any phone app should run on a tablet, and I don't see why they all keep telling me apps are not supported.
Until then I guess I'll just get my apps the way I described.
yap the apkdownloader would be the way i recomended to you =)
dunno why they dont support tablets
in some cases u dont have to understand them
feel lucky u find a way to make it work
Hi
My father got a bunch of Lumia 800s as some sort of gift when he switched ISP contract but basically don't use them and asked me whether they might be able to run Android.
The only thing substantial that came up while searching was this youtube clip:
youtu.be/f4b_5i2u_HM
but no instructions or links to further resources. It is relatively recent, so I guess it should mean that there are some data on it somewhere?
That's only an app that makes it look like You use Android on it. A skin. Got nothing to do with Android. I was trying few of these apps. Just to check their look. Check the Marketplace. It's full of these apps. Not a big thing and they are good for nothing.
Fake video!

He is using a skin on top of WP7.5..
The App is called FunDroid. Just met it today again after I got a second Lumia 800 and checked the MarketPlace on it.

I know Haret. It was made to run Android on Windows Mobile. Not Windows Phone. I was using it on several WM devices I had.
The app that is shown in the mentioned video is the FunFroid app, that can be found in MarketPlace and got nothing to do with the Android OS itself. Just an app that looks like an Android homescreen and can launch some apps. Not Android apps, only the WP system apps like Phone, Browser, Messages. It only contains shortcuts to them.
Anyone have a working app for the Shield as of yet for Apple TV +?
Cheers
Apple TV+ 1.2 apk works but when you go to sign in it requires something from the Fire TV firmware to complete.
I tried it but it doesn't work.
None work right now... seems most are counting on the release of Sony's APK for it to work.
Hi,
is there still no way to play Apple TV+ Stuff on Android without an iPhone/iPad?
Every newest version from the FireTV won´t work cause i need to install the latest FireTV Firmware ...

you can use browser then cast it to nstv or open tv.apple.com in a browser
Sorry for a stupid question and please don't link anything here if it violates any rules:
Where do people find a legit version of the APK?
Thinking about trying this on my Philips Android-TV and if that fails on my Odroid-C4 running Android.
Don't know how kinky sideloading an app is usually i.e. trying the APK for Shield / FireTV wouldn't work on either my TV (pref.) or "HTPC"?
Sorry for hijacking a bit, will do a separate thread if it is required (and allowed).

personally i dont have time to teach the basics on adb sideloading an app.. it should work on shield easily if ur connected to it properly and running the right commands in adb..
theres thousands of guides online about adb and adb install.. the apple tv+ app doesnt work on nstv however at this time so even sideloading the app will not work.. the only method ive used is to use web browser then go to tv.apple.com and play the videos through the web browser

I think you might have misunderstood what I was getting at;
I know how to sideload an app but it was just a general question on how kinky an app developed for a certain device (ex. FireTV / Shield) can be on another device (Philips implementation of Android-TV) etc. since they both are running Android.
My TV running Android-TV hasn't implemented something called "Android Mode Setting API" for instance and that caused some issues with an app (according to the devs).
So I can totally get that even through having the same platform - Android - different hardware can treat it differently depending on different hardware specs or implementations of Android.
However the question as where to find a reputable source of the APK remains, just googling it reveals a lot of different download locations where a lot seems really...sketchy.

LG 2018 model TVs just got an update that gives them Apple TV app, so may be there is hope for Android TV devices
LG rolls out Apple TV app for select 2018 smart TVs:
https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/20/lg-rolls-out-apple-tv-app-for-select-2018-smart-tvs
Any updates to this? i was about to start a new thread, when i came across this.
I got a free year of Apple TV+ with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for work, and just recently switched from Roku to the Chromecast with Google TV.
My fiancé got into one of the shows and i'd like to sideload the APK, if possible, if there's one that works.
Well, there is strictly Android TV version now (it was released with software update for some Sony TVs), but it also fails to work on other devices (says software update is required) - Source.
