I have a completely stock Nokia 1 TA-1047 and noticed that the Messages app (from Google) which is the default on the phone
is no longer updating in the Play Store. It's page says "This application is no longer compatible with your phone.".
The current installed version is 3.9.039. The weird thing is that it doesn't even install an updated apk from apkmirror,
it fails with "App not installed".
Anyone else get this? Any advice ?
Thanks.

I was able to get my Google account sync'd and Gapps installed. Now the issue I'm having is installing some apps on Bluestacks. For instance the 'Call of Duty' app says that it's not compatible with my device. When I go to the Play store from a browser it shows that the 'device' is being listed as a T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100 which isn't compatible. So do I need to change the device type within Bluestacks to get it to allow these sorts of apps to be installed and if I do this will it make some things unstable? Is there another way that I can install this? I assume I can locate an APK and load it that way but there was an update yesterday and I'm not able to find the most recent version (1.1.300) of that app. The ideal solution would be to install from the store to make updates cleaner.
Thoughts?
I'm using a Sony Ericsson X10 mini (not rooted) that still suffices quite ok. However, after a while it tends to become slow. What I periodically do to make the device again a bit faster is reinstall the original firmware using Sony PC Companion. This re-installs the latest available firmware for the X10 mini, being 2.1-update1 (kernel version 2.1.1.A.0.6).
The last time I reinstalled the firmware I ran into an issue. After the installation I got to work installing a few apps. I noticed that all the apps that I install keep showing up in the market as "Installing", even though they are already installed and working properly. Switching the device off and on doesn't help. Also clearing the cache of Android Market did not resolve this. All these apps remain showing as "installing" in the market app.
I also noticed that the version of Android Market that I currently have is not the version of Android Market that I had before reinstalling the firmware. As far as I know, Google Play is not available on Android 2.1, but I definitely remember that I had a newer version of Android Market installed on Android 2.1 than the one that is installed now. From previous re-installations I remember that the device at some point would mention that Android Market needs to be updated. The same goes for some of the pre-installed apps such as Facebook and Google Maps. However, this time it does not give such a message at all. Opening Android Market also does not trigger any update at all. Also going into the settings and looking for updates does not trigger any update. Is there any way to force android to update the market and the pre-installed apps?
When I open Android Market and look in the "Downloads" section, it shows a list of all the apps that I had installed on the device previously. When I check play.google.com on my PC, it lists the same apps, but they show as "installed" on my phone. Even though I have not installed them yet. And I cannot find any way to remove these apps from the "My Apps" section on play.google.com. Could this be interfering with the android market app on my phone?
Is there any way to trigger Android to update the Android market and the other pre-installed apps? I'm very hesitant to go and root the device, that still appears to me as a lot of work. Especially since I know that it used to work correctly previously.
A small update in case somebody in the future encounters the same problem:
To find out whether it really is my Google account that interferes, I have opened a completely new Gmail account, and used that when setting up the phone after the firmware re-installation. And lo and behold: within a few minutes after the initial setup of the phone, the market application was suddenly replaced with version 2.3.6. No notification whatsoever, it was just suddenly there. I don't know the version number of the old Market app that I had. Somehow, the version numbering that is used in the application manager is different than the "2.3.6" formatting. The version number that is shown in settings>application manager went from 2002009. to 2002306.
Having the updated Market app, I wanted to relink the phone with my normal Gmail account. However, I found that apparently, you can only sync with a different Gmail account by resetting the entire phone, so that I have the original problem again. But at least the fact that the Market app updated itself allowed me to copy the updated market .apk file so that I could manually update the market after reinstalling the firmware. And having installed the new Market app, it also recognized the pre-installed aps such as Google Maps.
It should have been possible to delete your new gmail account in th settings app and add your old one. Failing that, doing a factory reset would have deleted all the user-data but still have kept the updated market-app.
SOLVED: Look at my answer below.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum so sorry if I put this question in the wrong category. (also, I'm french, I don't speak english very well)
I have a Wiko Lenny running KitKat 4.4.2 (in fact, "WIKO LENNY Version 8") rooted, but I don't have CWM installed.
Yesterday, I installed some apps on my phone and tried using "Lucky Patcher", because I heard that it could remove ads. The website that explained how to use it said to go in Toolbox and to click "Install modded Play Store". So I clicked it, it said "Loading.." and then showed me an error that there wasn't enough space on the /system partition, only 60-70 MB free. So, as it didn't work, I uninstalled Luck Patcher but then I saw that it uninstalled the Play Store. I searched everywhere, it's not in the launcher, not in Settings->Apps, and now when I open any google app, it says that the Google Play Services needs to be updated, that they're not compatible with my device. I tried to download latest Play Store apk from various websites, but when I install it, it loads and then shows "Application not installed".
How can I get the Play Store back ?
Thanks
EDIT: I managed to install the Play Store apk using ADB from Android SDK. But if I try to install an app (or update existing), it crashes and says "Play Store stopped working". Then I need to go to Settings->Apps and to do "Clear data" for Play Store to make it run again (otherwise it crashes at launch).
EDIT 2: After some time, it showed a notification (translated from french) "Couldn't download <insert any app name here> : Couldn't retrieve information from server {error code i dont remember}".
NIL
Solved
I solved my problem by reinstalling Play Store by using ADB, and by setting it as system app with "/system/app mover" by j4velin. Now everything works perfect ^^
I just got my S9+ unlocked from Samsung (US). I'm trying to install an older version of facebook messenger (91.0.0.19.70 arm version) from the apkmirrors website that's been modified with Zipsigner (latest update from the google play store) and every time I try to install the .apk through the "My Files" app, I get a "App not installed." message. Has anyone else seen this issue?
One additional note: There is no unknown sources setting that I know of in this android version.
I have recently upgraded to a Google pixel 7 pro from a S21 ultra, however the one app I am wanting for my dash cam isn't compatible with my new device, I have tried worked around e.g. APKS (they just say they are not compatible and don't attempt to install) I've tried the other APK store however the app still refuses to install device is update to latest android and all cache and stuff has been cleared, Is there anyway around it?
