Two weeks ago, this paradox thing happened to our cellphone - the messaging system app while still installed and running properly, disappeared from the Play Store app list and as you can see from the attached screenshot, it now displays a message that "is no longer compatible with your device - contact the developer " and all this on an Android One mobile! I have confirmed this on 3 friends' mobiles and other user reviews in the app's play store page. Clear cache & data of the store as we usually do didn't help, so what I am asking is you check on your phones as well and propose any fixes (?) for this really awkward problem
Needless to say, even if there are app updates, we can't install them from the store as long as this message appears in the app page
I experienced the same. I side loaded the latest apk and it was good.
Problem solved as suddenly as it appeared on the Play store app description. Incompatible warning message disappeared, app updated automatically, all back to normal
Of course, we will never learn what caused all this mess
I think it had something to do with the new messaging feature they released. The ability to see if the other person is typing, seen and sent confirmations, etc.

Amazon App Store
I have been using the Amazon App store on my Gtablet since it first opened. Apps worked great. Recently all of my apps disappeared from the App store. I can no longer get updates. I contacted Amazon and was told on 3 seperate occasions that Amazon had a new filter in place to filter out Apps that the developer said did not work on your device. Well that is a lie. They filtered out all but about 8 apps that I bought. 40+ apps that worked perfectly like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. What I suspect is that Amazon Filtered every device the developer did not know about. What developer can certify every single android device. The answer is none.
Has everyone else found this to be an issue? Has anyone determined a way to fool amazon into thinking you have a different tablet that amazon things runs most apps? I am not running a custom rom and see no need to but if it it fixes Amazon App store I am open to the issue. I was kind of waiting for a stable Honeycomb (preferably from Viewsonic).
Amazon did give me a credit for the Apps I have purchaced and all the apps I have purchaced are still on my device and work so my only real complaint with Amazon is "How can anyone ever trust them again".
I ran into the same problem on my stock Gtab (build 3588). So far, I've been successful at sideloading several missing "purchased" Amazon apps to the Gtab via my G2 using Titanium Backup. Obviously this is not a preferred long-term solution.
My next step is to try a new build.prop file as noted in thread 861044.
For reference, here's my current Amazon appstore count of "My Apps/All" on three different devices:
T-mo G2: 62
G Tablet: 8
T-mo TP2: 61
The Touch Pro 2 is running Project Android with an uncharged Italian prepaid SIM card, and for some reason, the only app missing is Age of Zombies (which for the most part, works fine on Gtab via sideload).
Amazon only half prevented
I have since found that while you cannot go to my apps and update them you can find the app in the store and it will indicate it needs to be updated. When you select update nothing happens. when you close down and start the store back up it installs the app.
I have also found that you can still buy apps even though you can never update them.
I also have about 60+ apps purchaced and only 8 that show up on my gtablet. The issue I have is I do not have another Android device.
This happened to me as well. I contacted amazon, but they were of no help. So I took what I know, and others experience with different apps and found the solution.
Go to settings, applications. Find Amazon app market, and wipe data and cache. Open the market back up, log in (you'll need to re-enter username and password) and tada your apps have returned.
edit:
another solutions would be to uninstall, and re-install the app market.
Yesterday morning, after downloading the free app of the day, I checked "my apps" and it said that I had only 11 new apps. When I selected "all" I saw 14 apps. After wiping data and cache, I now have 74 "new apps" and 115 "all" apps.
I described the problem to Amazon 2 times, and I still don't think they understood what I was saying. I tried telling them that I had an app (Grisly Manor) installed on my tablet, that I had downloaded for free from them. In the Amazon app, it no longer appeared in any of my lists. On the web version, it shows up as being "purchased" I have a receipt and all...but it no longer shows on my Amazon App interface.
each time they instructed me on how to open an app, or how to open the "all" page in "my apps."
They are morons, I'm just glad I figured it out on my own.
Worked great
I talked to Amazon a number of times and even more than that. Amazon told me that they had corrected their compatibility filter to only allow apps that were compatible with my device. They said incompatible devices were given to them from the developers. I told them that was a load of .... and there was no way developers verified every single device to say if it worked or not. I suspected that if what they said was true they were only allowing devices that the developer said worked and ours is probably long forgotten.
Some kind of corruption issue is a much better answer.
Thanks a lot.

Didn't work from me.
Clear cash and data, still no previously installed apps showing.
Uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed, still no apps.
Running stock 3558 with enhancements.
Is anyone else having a problem with Amazon App Store.
I still cannot find any apps compatible with Gtab.
Clearing Cache and Data fixed the issue for me
I am running the stock rom with all updates from viewsonic. When I cleared the data and cache in the Appstore all of my apps returned. It went from 8 to over 80.
It never prevented me from buying apps just seeing them in my apps and updating them. I have never had any issue with finding apps to buy including the free app of the day.
Hey everyone,
I hope this is in the right section. But just recently i noticed my phone acting weird. Seems when i open google play store and do a search, Most recently i did "Weather Widgets"
It will return with like 6000 app results. Normally when you click the apps bar it takes you to the app results, When you scroll down and you reach the end of the list it will auto load the next group of apps.
Well now when that happens it no longer loads anymore results and it stays stuck on the first 10~15.BUT this is the weird part.. IT ONLY DOES IT FOR APPS and GAMES.
Music and Books the list loads as usual.
So far i have wiped the cache / data and just tried uninstalling the recent update and took it back to version 3.7.15 but google play auto updates itself back to 3.8
This really sucks. Anyone know how to stop google play from auto updating? soon as i wipe it back to 3.7 it auto updates back to 3.8
Nevermind - Resolved.
I guess somewhere along the line when gapps updates to 3.8... it no longer likes the device ID. I checked it and its DROIX but 3/4 of the apps on the market dont show.
So i downloaded Device spoofer and setup gapps as a Nex S. works like a charm
Recently, meaning in the past two days, when I open the Play Store this is what appears:
(first attachment, or which ever is named razrmaxx)
When I go to My Apps, and look under the Installed tab, only four apps show up, all preloaded Verizon apps. When I go to all associated with my account, it shows that they are installed. I can only install a new app if it's a popular app and the Play Store comes up with the completed search where it has the app icon. All other Google services work, gmail, youtube, Chrome tab, bookmark shares. I've reset my phone to factory defaults, I've completely closed the Play Store, deleted data, deleted cache, forced stop, and reopened. The other day I was trying to install an app (AirDroid), and it said it wasn't available in my country, I live in the United States. I'm completely baffled because on my Note 10.1, this is the screen that appears when I open the play store:
(second attachment, the one named note)
(just in case this is related to that), and it also will not show any of the "installed" apps, but will say that it's installed under the "all" tab. I've completely erased all data, force stopped Play Store on my Note too, and it still shows up like that, and it also can't search. The fact that there's only one app on my phone that shows up makes me think it's a virus, I've scanned my phone completely with Avast, I don't download anything except from the play store (although I know even there it can be a virus). Recent apps I've installed to my phone are: AirDroid, AndSMB, App Cache Cleaner (although this is after it started), and Avast. I originally thought the Samsung Apps app on my Note was causing the issue on my tablet, and Samsung Apps works, but even after I disabled it, the issue persisted. I even tried the Amazon App store, and that works. The only app that I have in common with my phone and tablet is Avast. Any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advanced. I might go to a Verizon store in the next few days and ask them about it, maybe get a new phone and stay away from my current gmail accounts and only use apps I trust, (amazon, newegg, doubletwist). Anyone know how to fix this and ways to stop it from happening in the future?
I`m currently running a standard Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - never modded or anything - still locked to my current cell network.
My girlfriend came downstairs very upset with me. I didn`t know why. She grabbed my phone, opened my downloaded apps list and my downloaded / installed list states that I had either downloaded or installed Snapchat. She currently is furious thinking that I've been sending anonymous pictures / chats with others.
To my knowledge I can never remember downloading or installing this app on my phone (I've had it over a year and a half). Based on where it is in my download list, it was added to my list at some point between the evening of Feb 9th and sometime during the day on Feb 10th. I've determined this based on the apps I downloaded before and after snapchat shows in the list. Are the apps in the "all" list in chronological order? Or can they show up randomly?
With that being said, I certainly DID NOT download, install or use this app. However, because it is showing up in my download list, she believes that I'm lying to her. Is there any other way this app would show up in my "All" list aside from it being actually downloaded or installed? I have no knowledge of how this is showing up there and I have no way of proving to her that I didn't install it.
All I have found is that the App itself was recently updated on February 10th as per the Google Play store website for the app at - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapchat.android
and on February 11 for apple phones as per the iTunes page for Snapchat: itunes.apple.com/ca/app/snapchat/id447188370?mt=8
if I had downloaded it at some point in the last year and a half and then deleted it, could it show up in my "All" history because it was updated by the vendor? Is there any other kind of explanation for it showing up in my list? I have no idea how it is showing there and I am at my wits end because as this point she believes I'm cheating on her which I am most certainly not. However, without any other proof, its hard to say that I'm not when I have no explanation.
if anyone could share with me their knowledge, insight or provide feedback on how this may have happened, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Your app could show in all apps if you installed it previously on any other phone if your google account was signed in on that phone. That means if your previous phone used that account, or you signed in your friends phone and it synced the app it could stay in your app list on google play. Basically every app that you ever installed on any phone that was signed in with your google account will show in the play store.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I really appreciate it.
I can understand if I had downloaded it before in the past that it may be in my profile list under my gmail / google account somewhere in my history. Is there a reason why it would jump up in the list randomly? I ask this assuming that the "all" list is in chronological order of when the apps were downloaded? I had legitimately downloaded and installed some apps within the last few days and they show up at the top of the list. Where as older apps are lower in the list. Would the version updates maybe bump it up?
Many thanks again!
It could be possible. But i wouldn't really know because i don't track my app history, but in my case i install roms really often and it always wipes my data so i have to download all the apps i use again, and they are not in the top in all apps. And yes, some of the apps i downloaded a really long time ago are in the top. I don't know why. For instance, Aero kernel control app is pretty much in the top, and i had it installed when i ran kitkat on my phone and stopped using it when i installed lollipop and that was like three months ago. And it got updated recently. So i can't say for shure, but if you're not liying to your girlfriend, then you could say that to her. There could be many possibilities for that to happen, even if you didn't download the app personally.
So I very recently bought one of those Android Q-Box devices off of Amazon, since it was going cheap and I wanted a media centre. The same type as one of these that were reviewed on here a while ago, as a matter of fact. The manufacturer listed is slightly different since it's a common design and it has been updated by said manufacturer to Android 6.0.1.
I have had two teething issues. The main issue I have is with Google Play Store. Every time I attempt to use Play Store I get the error message "This app is incompatible with your version of Android please roll back" or "uninstall updates" or something to that ilk. The app won't let me start in anyway. To get the app to start I have to uninstall the updates, at which point it then lets me open the thing, until I close the app and then I have to repeat the process. I have checked the version of the app both before and after I uninstall the updates and every time the version number of Play Store is "6.9.15 G-xhdpi[8]3104571. Play Store won't start until I uninstall the updates through the app manager to Play Store but the version number doesn't change. I have just tried doing so again at time of writing and this time it has changed to G-all. Don't know if that has fixed it, we'll see.
The second is a sound issue. Now it might just be the box doesn't like my HDMI switch box (it is a Duronic one, self-powered auto-switches when it detects a signal). When the Q-box is plugged direct in to my TV, the sound works. When it is plugged into the switch box, it is inconsistent over whether or not it comes on. I have two consoles plugged into the switch box which both work fine. To get the sound to work I have to manually cycle back through them.
Both the only issues I've found with it so far but starting to get quite frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
