Google Play Issues - B927

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

Hello,

I've seen one report of this in the B927 thread, but after having a great day with ICS, I've come to download some of my other apps from Google Play.

I'm getting "your device is not compatible with this application" for a few basic apps, such as Natwest, Barclays and a few others.

Has anyone got a clue why this would be, or how I can overcome it?

If there's no cure, looks like it's back to my B888 backup :(

Cheers.

I am having the same problem, typical it's the apps I use the most :angry: I also may have to downgrade

try this it might help

Market cannot download and Google Talk login failed to fix this, go to manage application and do clear data for :

• Download
  
• Google Backup Transport
  
• Google Services Framework
  
• Google Talk
  
• Reboot

If I go into Google Play on my Mac, it shows:

This app is compatible with some of your devices.

T-Mobile HUAWEI HUAWEI U8815

This item is not compatible with your device.

Vodafone ZTE Crescent

Interestingly, it shows compatible with the "Vodafone ZTE Crescent" which was a T-Mobile Vivacity, but not the U8815.

Where does Google get the device name from?

The ZTE was never on Vodafone.

Have you tried clearing data in App Manager for Google Play Store? That's been reported to work on other ICS devices when they get this error? Also comments elsewhere about non-default pixel densities confusing things. Maybe nothing to do with this but worth a try maybe.

Strange it works with B826 but not B827. What's the difference other than device ID and a slightly newer kernel?

None of these show in Settings -> Apps

Any idea where to go?

Thanks.

I saw your suggestion for this earlier, and no luck unfortunately. :(

I don't think banking apps work with root. I remember seeing a thread somewhere saying its a security risk...

My handset isn't rooted.

How about editing build.prop to make it identify itself as lthe U8818 rather than the U8815 variant as in B826? You'd need root for this but you can unroot afterwards if it works,

Those apps don't show though.

I have no idea how to do this, unfortunately.

U8815 is it's official model number though, so surely it should work?

Cleared all them, and mine still will not work, pissing me off :angry:

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

Looks like a downgrade then?

[Guest Rico_89]

Just a shot in the dark but does your google play app need updating itself?

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

I checked for updates through it, and nothing showed.

Does the Natwest and Barclays apps show for you?

It does show, but says it's incompatible with the device

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

Exactly the same.

Did you use B926 before? Did they work on there?

Barclays worked, but only after I unrooted the phone on B926, the apps I am having problems with worked fine on B926, but cannot even download them on B927

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

Hmmm, so it is certainly a B926-B927 change.

Very unusual.

What other apps are you having difficulties with?

[Guest Andymac1969]

Virgin Trains, Greater Anglia, ITV Player, Barclays

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

I didn't realise there was ITV Player available, never seen it on GB.

Worked very well on the G300, but not now lol

[Guest HuaweiAscend]

Was that on GB or B926?
