So I've tried to install a variety of different apps that I know are compatible with my device and all the google play store responds with is "This item is not compatible with your device." The most recent is nVidia TegraZone which should install considering it's a Tegra3 Device. Anybody else having this issue and/or found any fixes?
I've side loaded several apps like that which end up working fine. Basically, I download the app to a rooted phone, use titanium backup to backup the app, then download it to the N7 and enjoy.

Or you could use MyAppSharer on Play using a compatible device.
Had no problems with tegrazone from Google play.
Have you modified anything on your device?

Wipe data and force stop the Play store app as well as Google services framework and then reboot.

Thanks. Worked very nicely.
I would really like it if I could just to some small hack to not have to worry about doing this though...
Anything that requires a camera permission is incompatible, including Grocery King which really annoys me as I use it for all of my shopping. Barcode Scanner, Google Goggles, etc...
Luckily LoseIt, calorie tracker, CAN use a camera but on my N7 it installed just fine just doesn't have the barcode scanning option. This is how apps should be written. For example, Google Goggles can be used on existing photos, or even photos taken with the camera hack from modoco.
In the past I've also have problems with apps that require Send/Read SMS, but I haven't noticed any of those yet.
What apps are you seeing incompatible?
For some reason the good Ameritrade one doesn't even show up in Play, but it side loaded fine for me. Had to side load Firefox as well.

I have App Backup & Restore automatically backing up the APK's from everything I installed on my Sensation. So I downloaded those, uploaded to the Nexus and installed OK. The only one I haven't made work is Dropbox.
They should just say, "App shows as being partially incompatible with your device. Install anyway?"
Hate forced to side load an app just because I'm blocked.

What would be nice if they'd say WHY so you don't have to guess. Also, that way you can email the dev and say "Market says your app won't install because of reason "555: No camera permission" or something.

It didn't for me and it wouldn't open after side-loading either. It's working now but I can't remember what I did to make it work. I think I had to side-load, then go to Accounts and add an account before opening the app for the first time.

I had this problem for months, even had to un-install apps that would no longer work because I could not update them, but got the Problem solved, changed the screen density in build.prop.
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 then You Go to Applications and wipe the cache and data for google play store and google services framework, turn Your phone off and on twice. give it a try
NOTE: I'm using the arc s with doomkernel v22
Goodluck

You could try data sync, that's worked for me.

You can also install the amazon app store, you can install apps that the play store says aren't compatible through it.

Err ..... thanks. But as I said, I had this working in July
Here is the solution of someone who had a similar issue in Utacka's Paranoid Android thread.

Solved my problem:
- Clear data from Play Store in Settings -> apps -> all
- Clear data from Google Services Framework in Settings -> apps -> all
- Reboot in recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache
- Reboot and all my apps are returned!

Hey guys,
Is there any known effective workaround for the battery drain issue on 4.4 with google play services?
I have installed the newly released Google play services 5.0 but this is still an issue and causes the phone to get VERY hot during charging

Did you clear cache after installing new Google play services? If you didn't, clear cache and reboot your phone.

Cleared cache and so far seems to be working with v5.0! Thank you!
This is actually something I was trying to find a work around today.
Mind linking me the Play Services 5.0 you're using? I'd really like to try this.

Thanks for that. Gave it a go, got a result similar to the thread maker's. Was a dream come true, really.
Then it came back again. Didn't do anything different, just eventually came back into play on next reboot.
Uninstalled updates from Play Services entirely and rebooted, got the same effect. I don't think it's 5.0 fixing it, just the other play(s) causing it. Still running as 'uninstall updates' version (whatever it is-- lemme check... 4.0.33) and I've not had an issue with it coming back on. If it doesn't last then I have no clue how to fix this.
Sorry to be a pest and bump / double post.
But I havn't had it come back since I did an 'Uninstall Updates' from Settings > Apps > All
I don't know why this would be so darned weird... But for anyone who hasn't tried it... I guess, sadly try it - and the link that Androidtweaker gave.
When I installed the Play Store that Androidtweaker linked, I did nothing but play games for like 2 hours on my phone - No issues. Kept playing, 4 hours later popped back up. I play Puzzles & Dragon's and link it to my Google+, so I thought they might have triggered all the play services since it is Google Games.
However I uninstalled updates and now it's the 1st of July where I am (3 days later), with Uninstall Updates and playing P&D with G+, I don't have any Play Service Issues.
Sorry I couldn't be of help to anyone who comes to this thread via google searching. Perhaps installing the latest Play Store then deleting cache/dalvik helped cut out some issue hidden within somewhere?...
In settings/location, set to device only. Its google location reporting causing the issue. Setting it to device only utilises just GPS for location.
So I got this little msg display on my phone today. Been trying to listen to iHeartRadio and it kept disconnecting. After I rebooted my N6, a msg popped up saying I will need Google Play Services, which apparently is not installed on my phone, in order to continue using apps. I have it installed and up to date. Anyone else experience this?

Thank you kind sir! I appreciate that.
Hello, I manually installed an app apk from the developers website. The app is also on the play store, but was curious how this works.
How did google play know I stalled the app? How was the app updated without downloading it through the plays for? Is Google Play constantly scanning my phone?
Thanks!

If you didn't turn off auto update in Play settings then Google Play will update apps on its own.

Correct. I turned it off afterwards. But how did Google Play know I even had the app? I installed it manually via APK transfer from PC.

I do. I don't install many apps from other places except Apkmirror and Google is probably spying on me already. LOL spying on my phone would be one of the most boring jobs ever.
I'm using a Note9 that's only a month old. The last 2 days, any app updates or new apps I'm trying to download get stuck at 99% (sometimes 100%). Things I've tried so far:
* Resetting the Play Store to default and deleting data/cache
* Wiping the cache of the whole phone
* Disabling the Google app (per suggestions I found elsewhere)
* Uninstalling Nova Launcher (per suggestions)
* Wiping the cache/data of the Download Manager
It's driving me up the wall. No idea what to try. Any advice?
This is the same issues I've been having, especially since updating to Android Pie. Only small fix I found was just closing all apps and run Device Care on a download, then it worked. I don't know if this is an actual fix though.
Are you using any package blockers or anything disabled via adb? If yes one app too many was blocked

I am not.
I've ran into this problem but only when having a unstable Wi-Fi connection. Specifically a bad power supply on the router.
And a lot of business wifi like in hospitals and stuff they have blocking software to keep the employees from watching movies and game of thrones and things like!

So, no one has found a solution to the stuck-at-99% download problem for Google Play Store?

Only Google.
I'm experiencing this problem as well (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+). This started happening 2 days ago.
Also, another strange thing is happening: The Blue light filter, and Digital Wellbeing grayscale filter, are not starting/stopping at the correct times, they are delayed (sometimes by hours).
The worst part is, my previous phone (Galaxy Note 8) had the exact same issue(s). I endured it for a long time. I was excited to ditch the Note 8 for a phone that worked... Oh well
I generated a debug log, and I'm combing through it now. I don't understand everything I'm looking at.
Here are some attempted fixes, that did _not_ fix the issue on the Note 8:
* Clearing the Google Play store and services caches.
* Removing my Google account, then signing back in.
* Factory reset, then reinstalling everything from scratch. (The issue started happening again, within 1 day.)

Thanks for your response. I just tried this, disabled the Google Play app, then restarted the device. I re-enabled Google Play, unfortunately the issue is not fixed. I'm looking at my 13 pending updates, the first one (Nova Launcher) is stuck at 100%, and is not moving/updating at all.

I double-checked that apps were unable to update (Netflix was stuck at "77%"). I disabled the Google app, and restarted the phone. I left Google disabled.
... Netflix took longer to update (it stalled at "77%" again), but it did finish successfully. Now the other apps are downloading and installing! Nice. Hopefully this is a permanent (or at least reproducible) solution to the issue.
Do you know *why* the Google app would be interfering with app updates? I'm genuinely curious.

Did you find out what was causing this issue? I have had to disable my "google" app to allow updates. Are you using a s8 ? We should compare apps to see if something we have in common is causing this issue.

Yes i disabled it, but that must be related to another issue. my girlfriend has the same s8 and no issues. Must be related to multiple google accounts or something that differs from my phone to hers.
Perhaps fully off-topic or just the solution, did you disable or remove Chrome? I know my Note 9 shows similar behaviour when I debloat and remove Chrome. Once I updated the WebView app all runs fine. So I always update WebView before anything else. But then again I only notice this behaviour once I remove or disable Chrome browser.
