Hi there,
Recently I've noticed something strange. I'm in UK, country in my Play Store is set to UK, but I can't find or install apps that are specific to UK (I was able to do so in the past). Apps like MyBT, National Lottery ap, etc. They are not showing in Play Store. When I google them, and open via Play Store, it says "Item not found" or "this app is not available in your country".
Any Ideas what could be causing it?
Could you give a bit more information on what you did leading up to this finding (i.e. did you install a custom rom)?
I have noticed that when my National Lottery app told me that I need to update it. There were no updates in Play Store. Tried finding that app but couldn't. I googled the app and clicked the link which redirected me to Play Store app showing "Item not found". Play Store on web shows me "this app is not available in your country.". Same scenario with few other UK apps.

It sounds like a Google side issue and not your phone.

Recently I went out of the country, and had no network access. My girlfriend was trying to play some games from the Amazon app store that I purchased, but it yelled at her because we had no network access. Is there a way around this, to use the apps on my device that I got from the Amazon app store w/o having network access?
I hadn't used the device in some time, do you have to use it once in awhile to kind of keep the account active? Any information anyone can provide will be helpful. I'm from the US, and was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic when I got the error. It happened during any apps I had downloaded previously from the Amazon App store, and was using my Motorola Xoom to play the apps.

Did you uninstall the Amazon Store app from your phone by any chance? If not, did you use a different Amazon account than the one you used to purchase your apps?
If both of the above are not true, I would suggest that you uninstall your current Amazon Store app, reboot your phone, install the latest Amazon Store app, and login with the account you used to purchase your apps assuming your account is still active. You need to have Internet connection to do it. Not sure if you're back to the states but you can give it a try or try it when you's back.
Hi there, seems i got a quite strange problem here.
I'm on a CM10.1 nightly rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099499) and today I accidentally discoverd that the play store dont display my installed app any more, which was fine last week(i did an update of some apps that time, not related to play store services), like the screenshot showed only two buttons left there. And I tried unstalled and reinstalled one of the app(gps test), and it told me that "this app was not installed by google play store". After the reinstallation the app showed up in the "installed app" section this time.
I check all my apps in the phone with "pm list -3 -i" to see if the installer is wrong(i installed all my 3rd party apps with airdroid last time i flashed the rom, and the apks, which were downloaded from play, were pulled from the phone itself). i found out that the values of installer attribute of apps i update last week were "com.android.vending"(for instance greenify), while others wre just "null". But the strange thing is that neither of them showed up in the "installed app" section.
I guess this has something to do with google's recent policy change for not allowing non-play-installed app to be updated through play store. But i just wonder what exactly happened to my device and if there is a solution to it without reinstalling every app. Thank you very much!
EDIT: the web version of google play don't show my apps, either.
I'm stocked by noticing https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app that connects to https://play.google.com for downloading and updating apps.
Since https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app, how does Play Store app update itself? Does the update come from other channels?
Thanks?

Hey ...hi...
It updates itself in background when you turn on mobile data if the update is available .....
You can see in network meter ....
You dont use data but meter shows you are using...
No, I'm asking the source of the update. Is it from Play Store or somewhere else? If it's from Play Store, why cannot I find it?

Hi there,
The Google Play Store app is frequently updated in the background, without you ever realizing it. Not sure about the source of this update but it gets updated after a time interval. Google even provides you option to force Play store to grab the latest version. But, source of update neither disclosed in app nor in the guidelines.
Thanks
Advice appreciated please.
After using the UK "The Times" app for years but had become expensive I chose their European option which was much cheaper, easily cancellable, but required payment only via Google Pay.
Have been using it for a year, but decided to change to a new UK subscription. Google Pay sub was cancelled.
I uninstalled the app (after deleting cache and data) but on downloading the app again from Play Store, I find that the original account data is still there, showing the Google Pay sub information.
And as the app opens it shows "checking Play Store purchases"! And it does seem that this may be the core of the problem, since normally one subscribes direct to the Newspaper.
There is no "logout" option.
Have tried several times, but can't get a pristine app.
How can an uninstalled app contain the original user data when re downloaded? From where is it picking up the information?
I have asked The Times for their help, but in the short term 4 days) they have been unable to come up with a solution.
I have the same issue across 4 different Android devices, phones and tablets.
I suspect the problem is more Play Store associated than app associated.
Advice appreciated please.

Tiktok is banned in my country, but now that I'm in the US, why is Tiktok not showing up in the Play Store? I installed the apk via a apkmirror but I'm still not able to use it. A little story: I left a phone in my country with my Google ID login. Is that the reason? Do i have clean flash the rom ?
You probably need to change the default country in Play Store under Settings>Accounts and Device Preferences.
