Hey guys...anyone get Words With Friends to work on Nook color cm7? I can download it from the market, but then everytime you go to play it, it says there is an update available (In the app itself, not in market). But, then it brings me to the market and says its already installed. any ideas?
I had it installed and it's asking if I want to update. I changed my lcd density to 160, but Market does not recognize my Nook any more.
got it! Followed the instructions on setting lcd density to 160, clear Market data.
Don't try to update words with friends from the app itself. Go into market, accept, search for words with friends and select update.
when i search for words with friends in market, i don't even get a "Download" button or "update" like you usually would. I had to download the apk because market wouldn't let me install :-/
sigh still can't figure out how to get it to work. Anyone get it working?
Mine works fine.
But, I'm using the old market....
Cleared data, uninstalled updates, then renamed the marketupdater.apk to marketupdater.apk.bak
I suppose I may be missing out on something using the old market, but it's been working fine for a couple days for me. No apps are locked out. The apps aren't automatically updating, but if you go into the market and select "my apps" it shows you what needs updates and you just have to manually click to update... Not a huge drawback to me for being free of the device check in the new market.

After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.
_________
Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

Did your Android Market just update itself and break the My Apps function? I just noticed my Market app on my phone just made me accept the agreement again. As I remember it does this when the market app is updated. After clicking agree, the market app loaded, I click "My Apps" and just get a blank screen. Tried killing the app, then trying again, no luck. Rebooted phone, no luck. Anyone else??
for my the same thing. same problem!
Try wiping cache?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
works for me, i however lost quite some apps (they are no longer linked to the market).
fixing the market links via titanium 4.3.1 made them available as updates, but after the 'update' they were gone again.
downgrading to the old 2.x market didn't help either, oh boy
what can i do now?
I have the same problem, and I haven´t find any solution so far.
If you see, the lost apps aren´t in present in the market web version.
they came back eventually. tried to restore the market links via titanium a dozen times before that.
out of the blue they where there again.
now i flashed the new cm nightly and i got the same prob again
guess i gotta be patient.
Maybe because of a Restart?
Worked fine for me and I did notice the market change on my DroidX.
What version is your market guys? Mine is 3.1.5 and I dont have such a problem
_______________________________
Flipped to xda by my mad device.
3.1.5 too. flashed the newesst gapps, they include the 3.1.3 market, but it auto updates real fast :0
Same here, but here's something new to add
I hadn't changed anything on my 2.1.3 rooted Droid X2 when this problem popped up two days ago.
Before coming here, cleared cache, deleted data, fixed permissions, rebooted, and rebooted (and cussed profusely at great volume).
And I tried a couple of the suggestions here, but to no avail.
I uninstalled the updates and the market dropped back to 3.1.3. Then saw the error "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
My guess is that my account is hosed up in the Google Market cloud and the latest version of Market doesn't provide error feedback.
So still sitting with a blank My Apps screen. And of course, Google Android Support has Jack Sheisse to say about it to anyone.
I have exactly the same problem; 'my apps' just brings up the server error. Tried everything, but to no avail. I can still download new apps though!
My logcat shows this:
""[24] BaseAction.run(): ApiException: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR
I/vending (16292): [1] BaseAction.displayErrorUi(): Server error in com.android.vending.MyDownloadsActivity$MyDownload sLoader: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR""
For me, the answer to my original problem was that I have more than one Google account configured on my phone.
For some odd reason, having multiple accounts on my phone causes the market to get confused constantly as to which account it should default to. Since one account is only on my phone for gmail purposes, there are no market apps attached to it. When the market defaults to the Gmail only account, none of my apps show up. When I manually go into the Market settings on my phone and change the account it's using to the correct account, all my apps come back.
As of now, I have not found any way to tell the Market which Google account should be the default account. So, still living with this. I just check which account it's using before doing anything in the Market App. Huge pain in the Arse..
I have the same problem with new Market. When I click My Apps this is what I get: Applications and games owned by this account will appear here.
If you also have problems please report it to Google here so they can fix it.
FIXED!
Ignore.
(thought it was fixed, but it's not...)
My apps blank
I also got the problem with blank my apps and now i fixed it for me, maybe its the same for some others. The problem was one app (can be more), in my case teeter (htc sense game). So i backuped all my apps with Titanium Backup, then uninstall all with TB. Set delete market link when uninstall app in TB settings. Clear Market cache/data. Open Market go to my apps, go back and again to my apps. Now it works for me again. So i restored 10 apps, cleared cache/data from Market and looked into my apps. I did this restor in 10 apps steps and cleared Market data till i found the app that broke the market.
My Apps Brings Up Server Error Message
It doesn't seem to have to do with anything under our control, and google is typically silent about it. I think the only thing to do is wait and meanwhile I am using appbrain which is better than market anyway. If anybody does find a solution, and I am wrong about all this, please post it. This is really annoying and frustrating.
I'm too having same issue
I also get the same " applications and games owned by this account will appear here" after the update when I go to my Apps. I have two gmail accounts, and the problem is in my main account.. my secondery account have 2 apps installed, and have no problem displaying them...
I've tried all of the above solutions like clearing cache, data...
Strangely I have another phone with the same accounts setup and it works fine...
Same is issue here - Droid Bionic
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
Same is issue
I started my phone this morning and saw I had 5 updates in market on the notify bar, so I selected it.
Market loaded, asked me to accept the license agreement, (which seemed odd), but whatever, I did so. Now when I select Market->My Apps
It shows only 2 installed, it should show about 90 installed and the 5 new updates disappeared. I know they were no updated as tiBackup shows I have no new apps to backup under batch jobs.
Any ideas, I'm guessing a new version of Market was downloaded, but the fact that it is missing all my installed apps has me worried, (they still show up online, just not on the phone).
Thanks,
ERIC

Follow these steps, this may work for you.
1. Download and install the new market 3.1.5 app here.
2. Go to Titanium Backup and select Market Doctor
The market doctor will scan your installed apps and verify their Android Market links and the missing links can be repaired.
Hope this will help you out..........
Got to love tibackup never even know about that feature.
However it only showed software I'd manually installed (normally to lock the version) none of the programs installed through the market, that are now missing.
Today I discovered how to bypass this. I guess its a glitch or whatever... just clear defaults for market. Look for the app on Google for the market link. Follow it using market to make sure its the one. Go back to Google. This time follow it using browser.(before this make sure your not signed in on market.android.com) and click install. It will pop up asking you to sign in. Click sign in. Then it will ask again to use browser or market. This time hit market and it will be at accept & download... just tap that and it will start downloading...
I am running kushdecks ics. Not sure if it has anything to do...
Also don't try on non free apps.
Just found it curious I guess.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
what are you talking about? installing apks away from the market from your sd card?
no. you know how sometimes you get links to the market and when you go to the market on the phone it says that your device isn't compatible? well that.
just open the link using your browser on the phone. then hit install it'll ask to sign in. when you press the sign in button. it asks you to either use the browser or the market app. hit market and just download...
Blah, they must have fixed it. Grrrrrrrr.....I want two games from there sale! >_<
Its only for free apps or games... if it has a price it gives an error

Know of any good apks to try this with?
Sent from my PG8610000 using xda premium
Try this: (note: only works on rooted phones)
Download this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution (free from the market) & reset your screen resolution back to stock.
Next, Force Stop Market & then Clear Data in Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
Reopen Market, accept the TOS, & try to get your app!
I had this same problem & this fixed it for me. Seems the market checks your device's screen resolution to see if the app is compatible @ that resolution or not & if it's not supported by the app, you get the "Your device is not compatible" message.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to download and install a couple of 3D apps from Market and I get this stupid message..
The apps are definitely compatible and are listed in the EVO 3D apps thread....
Isn't it possible to change the device info in the system ini to stop this problem...?
change your build.prop file to a different device

thanks, Im a bit of a noobie
where is the build.prop and what exactly should I change it to? I want to install 3D apps so I should change to xxx3D?
I just noticed I cant even install a plain notepad app from MArket "Your device isnt..." Is that because of the QHD resolution..? Also screenshot app got "Your device isnt..."
This android market is a pain in the but...almost as restrictive as iphone market place...
EDIT: I found build.prop and changed ro.product.model=LG P920 Optimus 3D but still ""Your device isnt..." message.
What else should I change...?
It worked for me
Thank you
I've gone back to stocj rooted rom and everythings dandy....no more issues...
Hi all, just a quick report on this issue- using CM7 copes, android 2.3.2 booted from SD card on hd2 dual boot with WP7 in nand.
I was having the incompatible issue fairly often, so I installed "LCD Resolution (Root)" free download from the Market (it allowed me to install that one) but I think you have to donate $.99 for it to work. Then, in this order, force close Market (if running), delete the data, then launched LCD Resolution and reset my resolution from 180 default to 160, hit apply but did not check always boot into this (an option), then the app rebooted the phone. After the reboot I checked the resolution- it was at 160- opened Market, accepted terms, searched for the app I wanted and was able to install it without a problem.

I just read a review of the LCD Resolution app and the reviewer said the app was saying all market apps were incompatible until he reverted to the default settings for the display
same problem on lizi y4 (gooapple v5)
I also have so many problems with "device isn't compatible with this version" in google play. I have a Lizi Y4, which is same model as Gooapple V5.
I tried installing lcdresolution, but cannot, as device isn't compatible .
What are the checks that google play makes? Is it indeed giving me this message due to density, or does it do other checks too?
Regards, JK.
so i live outside the US and to make most of all android apps and games visible in my google play is to use market enabler. and it is working since forever until lately, when i try to download cheezia, real steel, cheeseman, mars smash and many other games then the box says "this item cannot be installed in your country".
its weird, usually its not like this. i can press download, and accept download the permissions then when the download about to start this message appear "this item cannot be installed in your country". its annoying because usually its not like this and i even already use market enabler to trick my phone that i live in the US.
do any one of you mini pro, mini, lww users has this problem too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
try this.......
nevermind. close this thread please.
cant believe i fixed it just by clearing the data and cache of the google play
I cleared the cache and app data and it still isn't working for me. Im trying to get the HBO GO and MAX GO because it works with my ICS phone FINALLY! My phone is rooted and has market enabler.
