[Q] Freedom 1.0.6 Google play store 5.2.13? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I hope I'm at the right place to ask a Q and If I'm at the wrong place, please forgive me. My Q is. I have Freedom 1.0.6 with Market unlocker and it used to work with previous Google play store.
It doesn't work now with the new Google play store update and I don't know why. When i try to purchase gems etc, it just says Google play store has stopped. So is there any solution to solve this problem? I will gladly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

play store 5.2.13 update is broken!
same problem here, anytime I click on any app - play force closes/crashes and it says "google play store has stopped" I called google and they were a bunch of a-holes about it, insisting that it was only my device and my problem. glad to read that this is widespread! although for some reason my other devices dont update themselves and stay on the previous play version 5.1.11
PS I dont have freedom and I just found out that freedom is warez. i suggest that you edit ur post and take out any mentioning of warez and focus on the real problem which is play store update 5.2.13 and perhaps that way u grab the attention of the right people who can help us. Nobody on here will help this post if ur mentioning warez!!!

What can we do?
So what can we do to solve this problem? Is there anything we can do?
Well, I will try to to downgrade my google play store and see if it works. Maybe Freedom doesn't support Android 5.2.13 which is the play store. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is having this issue.

Same issue re: Google Play Store 5.2.13
EDIT: Please note that I don't use Freedom, however I am experiencing similar issues.
Having the same issue, on a very old device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (model # SGH-I957R). Stock TouchWiz 4.0.4, device rooted with SuperSU 2.46.
My steps to duplicate the error:
1. Tap Google Play Store > app opens normally
2. Tap Search button > type in app name
3. In search results, tap an app (Facebook for instance) > page appears to load > freezes and then crashes, producing the error "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."
4. Google Play Store closes and tablet revers to app drawer
The temporary method I've used to get around this: in your search results, tap the three dot menu on the app you want and then tap Install. Skips the app description page entirely and works fine.
So far I've tried using the steps in this XDA thread and also these Android PIT instructions, but no luck. No amount of clear cache + clear data + force stop + uninstall updates + disabling/re-enabling apps + signing out and then back in of Google Account has worked thus far. Will report back with more finding once I find a solution!

Freedom and luck patcher are banned on this site and you will not get any help concerning them.

exactly the same is happening with me. the 3 dot menu is brilliant fix for now. i've also tried everything just like u but nothing seems to work. btw - some of my other devices upgraded their market to 5.2.13 as well but they dont have this problem. i wonder if it is related to the OS? my crashes happen on ICS OS 4.0.3 and on my other device JB 4.3.1 play store 5.2.13 works ok. Note to administrator: please do not block me, i am the one who told that guy not to post about warez! now my xda app seems locked as I cant access my participated and under my profile i cant access the list of my posts either. admin - did u do smthng to my accnt?? pls dont! i am telling ppl NOT to post about warez. I didnt even know what freedom was! i had to look it up.

Can't download paid apps i receive Error 403 Android market.

Hi!
I purchased Tasker android app on the android market 7th march. When i try to download that app i receive "Error Takser could not be downloaded due to and error. (403)". My bank confirm Google charged, but i can't download it. If i visit android market using web browser i can see i already purchased it. If i clear cache data on "Play store" app its not work? Are there any solution?
Why don't you contact the developer with your order number and see if he can help
Email google about this issue.
I'm having this issue with all my Android Devices....this is apparently a problem with google. I've been in contact with them and they said their were issues with teh conversion to Google Play. I've been dealing with this for 2 weeks and have access to free apps, but I can't buy any. I've been forced to purchase apps from the Amazon Appstore. Google apparently doesn't want my money....I've been sending emails to google and the developers of the apps I purchased (Scrubs and Cut the Rope: Experiments) and have had literally NO correspondence from google or the the developers. This sucks, as I just got my Prime and Picked up a Used A100, now Google is screwing me....Just some bad news...considering that it's been 2 weeks since this issue cropped up for me and the fact that Google (and it appears the developers) are ignoring my emails, I'm going to assume two things, Google doesn't care, suggesting you start a new google account and re-buying your apps, or it's a known issue and they just don't want to deal with us right now....I just want a straight answer....It could be months before this is fixed....I recommend emailing google ASAP.
I have the same issue. Galaxy S2.
I downloaded an application ($20) from a forum to test it before purchasing, now after uninstalling it, it says i've already purchased it!
So i go to click INSTALL (no Buy button) in the Market (Google Play) and it says error 403 or something..
I thought I would be smart and download the AppBrain appstore. Well the STUPID thing is there is no reason to ever use this, as it just opens up the Market and wants me to install again without buying!
I tried to do the same thing with the Amazon app store, but they too divert you back to the Market app (market:// I assume)
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can "reset" or make the market think I haven't purchased this Application, and be able to purchase it legitimately and support the developer and receive frequent updates form the developer????
Thank you very very much!
Don't worry dude, every android users are facing the same issue all over the world. It is the Google's side that is having issues.
My google play have your issue intermediately few days ago.
I've had the same problem so I decided to use Wifi from home. I found that by using my home wifi that I was able to update. I know this doesn't help the problem if you are not connected to wifi but if you are at home - it might help

Just started getting this error again. Anyone else? Tried clearing store cache, dalvik-cache and google framework cache. Still gives a 403 error when attempting to download a paid app.
I just did a factory reset on my phone, and all my apps, free and paid installed no problem.. except Smart Keyboard Pro. It showed "purchased", I clicked it and told it to install (from the PC), and that was over an hour ago. I have restarted, and it still wont download, i get the 403 error each time..
I'm open for ideas...

Sometimes if you don't purchase the app from google it will say purchased but won't let you download it.

Your suggestion works perfectly! Unfortunately, it is requiring me to repurchase an app I've already paid for and I don't want to repay. I know, I know $2.99 is not going to break the bank; but it's kinda the principle. No worries, if I don't find an alternative solution I will be forking over the cash.
So I have had this ongoing issue as well for over 9 months. Tech support was a joke, like some of you have figured out.
Somehow, with no intervention from me, the problem fixed itself both on the website and the device. Not sure what happened, but im happy it did. I was fairly close to cutting all ties to google services over this, guess I dont have to now.
Here appslova.com have compiled solutions to fix error 403:
Method 1: The most common fix for most Android market or Google Play related errors.
Go to system settings>> Accounts>>Google>>remove your Gmail account
Now from settings>>Apps>>All> Force stop, Clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Service Framework and Download Manager (like in method 1)
Now again go to settings>> Accounts>>Google>>Add your gmail account
Restart your android and then accept all the Google terms and setup Google settings
Rerun Google Play Store and update or install your app.
Method 2-Clearing Proxy:
Go to settings>>Wireless and Networks>>More>>Mobile Networks
APN (Access Point Name)>>MOWAP>>Edit
Select clear Proxy option
Try to re-run the installation in Google Play Store
Method 3-Router Proxy Settings:
Open your router configuration or settings panel (example- typing 192.168.1.1 on the browser brings up the router settings on my TP-Link router)
Now find your filter settings>>Uncheck Proxy
If that didn’t work also uncheck Cookies box from the filter settings
Now install your app from Google Play
Method 4- Alternative Google account
Create another Google account if you currently have only one account
Open Google Play Store>>Press Menu button>>Accounts>>select the alternative Gmail account
Now try installing the app
Method 5- Browser Fix: I found this solution on Phonebuff.com.
Go to play.google.com on your Computer’s web browser (preferably Google Chrome).
Sign into your Google account (by hitting the sign-in button at the top right).
Search for the app you wish to purchase and download.
Open the app’s page up by clicking the title link.
On the “install” or “purchase” button, right click and press “inspect element.”
Above the row that will be highlighted, you’ll see several lines of code. Locate the “data-ispurchased=”true” code (near the bottom of the paragraph).
Double click on the “true” in data-is purchased=”true” and change it to “false” then press enter on your keyboard.
Now click on “installed” or “purchased” to buy the app as you normally would
These methods might seem like a lot of work but hopefully one of these methods will solve the 403 error for your Android.

Samsung Apps

Hey guys,
I just bought my note today after wanting it for some time.
question, my Samsung apps app won't open. All it does is go directly to google play. It says the application needs an update. But when I try updating google market tells me the app isn't available for my carrier. (att).
What's going on here? I'm trying to download some note specific apps. Like zen brush with pressure sensitivity.
What are some good drawing apps. And is there any way to calibrate the pen?
Thanks everyone

Not sure about the Samsung apps. can you uninstall then re install? I heard one way that might help the pen is to change the dominant hand to ur non dominant then back to your dominant. I haven't tried it. Try Monkey Write...you can learn Chinese.

I saw the monkey Chinese app. But not really interested in learning. Maybe I'll dl later for fun.
Samsung apps can't be uninstalled seems like it's bloatware. But I'm still interested in the free s pen apps it's offering. It has zen brush optimized for the note

When you pull up "My Apps" in the Play store menu, does it show Samsung Apps as being installed? When you then click on it what options does it give you? Open/Uninstall? Open/Upgrade?
If there is an upgrade it should be available from there.
Many of the stock apps can be updated but require manually searching for each one, tapping on the app, then tapping the install / update button. Note that once an app is manually updated, you no longer need to search manually to update them in the future, they will show up as 'Installed' under My Apps. Alternatively, if you have Titanium Backup (requires root), you can link all the apps on your phone to the market which will allow all of these apps listed below to be listed under the 'My Apps' in the Playstore (which will allow you to tap 'Update All' button instead of manually searching one by one for each).
Stock apps that can be manually updated:
Adobe Flash Player
AT&T Navigator: GPS navigation
Featured Apps (Phone)
Gmail
Google Play Books
Google Play Music
Google Search
Kies Air
(Google) Maps
Media Hub-ATT 4G Smartphones
S Memo
Samsung Apps
Street View on Google Maps
Talkback
(Google) Voice Search
Youtube
YP Yellow Pages & Gas Prices
Try updating Samsung Apps and Featured Apps first.
Also, you might need to delete your Google account information (Accounts under Settings and long press on your account) and then re-add your account information (which can be done in the same screen OR by launching the market and you will then be prompted to re-enter your account information).
Oh, maybe also try clearing the data for the market (settings->Applications, 'All' button at the top, scroll to market and tap it, force stop, clear cache, clear data) and restart the market. The market does receive over the air updates automatically from Google and if the market on your phone isnt current, it could cause wonky issues. The way I usually force an update is to first clear the market data, launch the market and wait for it to fully load. Check the version number. If it isnt current, reboot and relaunch the market. Repeat rebooting and relaunching the market until its current (worst case scenario it took me 3-4 reboots).
Current version of the market is 3.5.16 (for the AT&T Note on STOCK firmware - it will be different depending on your phone model and Android version so if you have another phone or a different OS aside from the stock Gingerbread rom, it may not match this version number) and you can check this by opening the market, tap the menu button, hit settings, and scroll all the way to the bottom.
If all else fails, try a factory reset. Its a new phone so you shouldnt have much to backup before you do so (Settings->Privacy). This will require you to re-update the market (see above). Im almost positive any previously updated stock apps will have to be re-updated as well.
And, I should have probably asked this at the top, the Note you bought, did you buy it at the AT&T store or is it an unlocked Note you bought somewhere else?
Im running saurom and i also cant download samsung apps or note optimized apps such as zen brush or omnisketch. I have tried clearing play store data but still nothing. It keeps saying your device is not compatible
Okay well can't clear any Samsung apps data from application manager.
Google play is latest version. Samsung apps isn't under my installed apps. When I search for it I get an open or update option. When I update get the same error saying not available on your carrier.
When I open it. Get an error message saying not able to connect to market for update.
I'm attaching the screen I get in Samsung apps.
Phone isn't rooted yet. And wouldn't like to do a reset.
Does anyone have an Apk for Samsung apps or for the Samsung s pen enabled zen brush or omni sketch?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I was able to update s memo by searching in the store and updating when I found it. Same way I tried with Samsung apps except it worked and no error.
Still not able to do anything with Samsung apps. seems to be an issue multiple people are having. For some reason changing the dpi with a rooted app fixes google play issues.
Any insight?

I got samsung apps working by restoring the backup i had from the stock rom. It opens and works on saurom now, however it doesnt show in my apps on the market/play store. Also when i go into samsung apps and look at s pen apps such as omnisketch, zen brush, comic book.. etc and when i click install on them it takes me to the play store where it says my device is incompatible?? How do i fix this ? Any help would be appreciated.
I also have tit backup how could I use that to make Samsung apps to show up in my apps in the market
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Okay guys well I have a fix.
All I had to do was uninstall the update for google play in application manager.
So then play turned back into the market. Logged into the market looked up and downloaded Samsung apps no problem then updated google play.
Seems like there's a dpi issue with google pay. That's why there's an app that changes dpi (root required) that also fixes google play issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
That's good you got your Samsung apps working. My dpi is stock its 320. My Samsung apps started working but the apps inside dint work if you get what I'm saying. Like when I click on some apps to download them it says my device is incompatible. Has this happened to you? I think it's a dpi issue in the play store but my dpi is stock and I even un installed store data but it still doesn't work. Do you have a fix for this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Did you try what was suggested? Open Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->'ALL' Tab at the top->Market->Uninstall Updates.
Then relaunch the market and let it update.
There are occasionally issues with the market not converting to the Play store as well, for this, you need to remove your account and re-add it (Settings->Accounts->Long Press on your account->Remove Account. After removing your account, reboot and in re-open the market and you'll be prompted for that information.

Open TB and tap the menu button, Im not 100% sure where it is but you are looking for Market Doctor (I think its under tools or more, like the lower right option in the menu that comes up). Tap that and there will be a dialog for what type of apps you want to link to the market. Tap the System+User apps option.
Yes ive done those steps. I have tried removing my account and reinstalling it as well as clearing play store data. Everything works except its the same as last time some apps dont install from samsung apps and they are the spen optimized apps, it still says device incompatible and when i just try searching in the play store they dont even show up.
Okay so I used titanium backup market doctor to link my Samsung apps to the store because it wasn't showing up before. I linked it and a notification came up successfully saying it was linked but when I looked in the play store it wasn't linked and it didn't show up. When I search for Samsung apps in play store it doesn't show up and when I google to get a link to play store it says the device is incompatible (same thing happens with apps like zen brush and omni Sketch). I also checked my dpi it is stock and hasn't changed.

I would suggest a factory reset then from within whatever current rom you are using.
Ill see if I can figure anything out.
Best drawing app

Has pressure sensitivity.. worth the price.
Under ICS pressure does not work though, but works perfect on stock / GB roms.
I just went back to my stock rom and bam i am no longer getting the incompatible message but my samsung apps is still stuck but i will try the steps and see if it fixes it on the stock rom

I tried uninstalling updates from play market and clearing data but i still couldnt find samsung apps in the market and when i open samsung apps it just stays at the beginning page saying stay tuned we will notify you when the app becomes available
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
So i kept doing the wipe data uninstall google play and like on the 6th time opening the app ( i couldnt find it on the market/play store) it prompted me to do an update and it started installing and i checked automatically update. After it was done it finally worked however i still dont see it on my installed apps in the play store? Is this a problem? Should i worry that it doesnt show up?

[Q] Unable to download from Google Play

Hello,
I am using HTC explorer (Android 2.3.5) for about a month now. For the past 2 days I am facing a strange problem. I am unable to download apps from Google Play via internet pass through. I am able to browse the internet but when I try to download any application, a grey bar appears saying "Waiting for network" and it never ends. I am able to download the same apps through Wifii. I tried all the possible solutions to make this work (hard reset, soft reset), but found no luck. I changed the default 2GB sd card with a 4GB sd card same days back. But even after that I was able to download via internet pass through. This is little strange. Can somebody help me in this respect.
Thanks in advance,

Try to clear cache and data of play store
I'm having the same issue. I've used internet pass through on my EVO 3D for quite a while, thinking about changing plans to less data. Pass through works fine for almost everything, but suddenly won't download Google Play updates. But if I clear data and cache, it then thinks there is no update. It is as though it updated, but doesn't recognize it as having completed. The one thing I haven't been able to update ever by PT is new maps for CoPilot Live. It absolutely insists on wi-fi.
Clear data from google services framework, fixes most problems with Google apps.

I cleared the data of google services framework, play store but still the problem exists. I am still unable to download from play store via internet pass through
SOLUTION
Hi there,
go to settings> applications>put a tick mark or select unknown sources . Ur problem wil be solved.
Thanks G_IVAR, for posting a reply. But the option is already checked. The only way is working is to settings--> applications--> Manage applications--> Google Play Store and click on Uninstall updates. The Play Store disappears on the phone and the Old market appears. Now when i try to download any application (with internet pass through), the download starts (making me happy) and disappears within 5-10 seconds. When I check my phone this time, again Google Play appears instead of Market. I think the Google guys have made something so that the market apps doesn't download with internet pass through (with a USB cable).

Well then Google should update the Play Store app to fix it soon.
reply from google support (didnt solve the problem)
we should contact google support.i mailed them this was there reply but it didn't work
Thanks for contacting us about this issue- it sounds like you're having general connectivity issues. It's frustrating for us when users have problems with connectivity, because there is only so much we can do before you need to contact your service provider. However, I'd like you to try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve this quickly:
- Reboot your device
- Confirm that the app Google Authenticator is up to date - visit Google Play, then tap My Apps to see if you have an update available
- Sign in and out of Google Talk to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Play Store > Clear cache)
- If you're using WiFi, ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful. Have an excellent day.
Hi there,
I'm using a Sensation, and also having this problem. It's really most annoying.Any idea how widespread this problem is, or if it is something that Google has disabled deliberately?
Me too... but I'm able to download using JellyBean... but ICS can't..

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.

Truesmart + Playstore available?

Hi, I just received my Truesmart + today, and I tried to install the google playstore and while I was able to get the APK into the watch, after it installs the playstore it fails to open.
So basically whenever I press the playstore button it'd open for half a second and the whole program just vanishes like if it got reverted back to the homescreen..... Ive also downloaded several different version of playstore and havent had any luck either...
I was wondering if you guys know if its possible to even install the google play store and get it to run on this model??
The specs of my watch are:
Android Version: 5.1
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MPV5, 2015/08/24 16:00
Kernel Version: 3.10.72
Build Number: Omate_Truesmart+_V1.1
Custom Build Version: OUI 3.0
Please help me out, I dont want to end up with a brick =(
I am curious about this too (was supposed to get mine today but the mailman messed up) Did they not include the OStore or some sort of other app program? Are any apps preloaded?
You'll also notice that you can't add a Google account within Settings-> Accounts.
The only way around that so I'm actually able to add a Google account is by sideloading "Google Services Framework" & "Google Account Manager" (in addition to "Play Services").
However, even with these installed, Play Store still doesn't work - it launches but won't connect.
Hopefully a solution is found.
Until then, I'm fine with using my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE.
Pre-installed Apps are pretty sparse:
> Phone
> SMS
> Exchange
> File Manager
> Browser
> Calendar
> Clock
> Gallery
> Downloads
> Contacts
> Search

*UPDATE*
I've reached out to Laurent LePen (CEO of Omate) & told him the usual method of making the Play Store work (by sideloading the 3 Apps I mentioned) doesn't work on the Omate TrueSmart+. He said they're rolling out an update next week to fix that.
So hopefully, next week it'll work.
*fingers crossed*
Wow, releasing a watch without its own OStore supported seems like a big mistake. Their Facebook discussion also seems to suggest that they'll be pushing an update by the end of the year, so hopefully that holds true.
I was able to install Google search and google now launcher, but google play store won't work without "google play services" and I haven't found a version of that .apk that will not keep crashing on the Truesmart+
Since google play services keeps crashing, the play store stays on a "Checking Info" screen that keeps spinning and spinning...
Same issue here, obviously...
com.google.android.gms_8.4.89_(2428711-234)-8489234_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(240dpi).apk should be the correct version of Play Services, but it still crashes on me...
Does anyone have any newer versions of the Services Framework and Account Manager APK's?
Anyone, any updates?
Edit: There will be a firmware update this weekend which will pus the OStore... No Play STore, but at least it's something for now...
I just unboxed my truesmart+ today.
I think it is not useful without google service inside.
I can't sync my contact nor get my paid apps on it, it is really a bit disappointing.

I thought they would put the OStore in the update, but this is even better!!!
Everything appears to be working great
Just curious, if Aptoide does the same thing as the Play Store, did we really need the Play Store? I'm away from my device so I can't test it, but it seems Aptoide has many of the same mainstream apps as the Play Store (Maps, YouTube, etc)
Could someone please answer my question re: Aptoide? Is this a viable alternative? (from a technical perspective, please no need to go into politics) Thanks.

Aptoide will work for free apps, if you install "My Paid Apps" from Aptoide you may also be able to install some of your paid apps as well. Aptoide's biggest drawbacks are much smaller number of apps, less security, sometimes apps do not get updated as often, not all paid apps will be accessible.
Another option is Amazon App Store.

Aptoide is a viable alternative to Google Play, but only if you are very careful and very skilled at being able to recognize and avoid trojanized versions of apps. The majority of people hosting apps there are well intentioned, I guess, but there are also a large number of maliciously modified apps to be found there, and cracked premium pay apps are included.
Using Aptoide over the Play Store, then, is not a good idea unless you are very skilled or have other means of avoiding Android malware mixed in with the many legitimate apps available there. If you get apps there that are really hosted there by their real original developers, for example, you can feel pretty secure.

Thank you both for your replies! Referencing your statement above, if I download only the apps marked with a green shield marked "trusted" should I be ok? (Do I trust the trust mark?) I'm only looking for Maps, YouTube, SWApp, Gmail, Amazon Music, Pandora.

You can download the .apk files from the play store by using this website: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/.
This procedure should be safe and maleware free.
Thread cleaned.
Please keep this thread on topic, otherwise it will be permanently closed.
