App Compatibility issues - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

I've tried to install the Amazon App, however I get an incompatible warning. Any other apps you've found to be incompatible, and do you know why?

The ROM or location settings may have something to do w/this.
If it's just the Amazon app giving you issues,try side-loading the app from APK Mirror:

The Chinese ROMs are notorious for issues with financial apps. I had to sideload Wells Fargo app, but I got it from the Amazon market app, which I also had to sideload. Both work fine once installed. I did, however, find zappo's app would crash when trying to check-out. I guess it's the price you pay for bleeding edge technology or design.

Fingerprints and market links

I am interested in the build.prop file and its effect on the market. A number of my apps refuse to show/ download and it may be a fingerprint issue.
Also, I cant seem to buy Samurai 2 Vengence, despite its appearing in the featured tablet apps the market just sends a notification that the download was declined.
What am i doing wrong? Could it be the fact that im in the EU on a verizon xoom? I have in airplane mode...
Possibly not relevant but the Market App is by far the buggiest application on the Xoom, which makes running down your problem even more difficult.
Have you tried purchasing and pushing the app to the tablet through the Market on the Web.
Thats what I have had to resort to until they fix the POS thats on the machine right now.
Google is not doing themselves any favors as I have started hearing about market problems in reviews... really should be the one App that works right, it's the portal to all other applications.

[Q] Amazon App Store Error Every Reboot

Something weird is going on and has been going on ever since I installed the Amazon App Store on my Cappy running the latest Serendipity rom. I've downloaded WeatherBug Elite and Shaazam when they were both the free paid app of the day through the Amazon App Store. They run just fine... until I reboot my phone. After every reboot, when I go to open either of those two apps I get a force close popup saying that there has been an unknown error with the Amazon App Store and that I need to reinstall the app (that I was trying to open). So I uninstall, go back into the Amazon App store and re-download/reinstall and they work fine again until the next time I reboot or power cycle my phone. The apps load up and run for a few seconds before I get that popup. So far I've only noticed this with those two apps, the other ones I've downloaded through Amazon have been working fine.
I contacted Amazon App Store support via email, but they were not very helpful, they told me I should call them to "discuss the issue further". I don't like calling, that's why I emailed them in the first place!
Anyone else having this issue? Could it be caused by the hosts file? Thanks in advance for any help!
I also have this issue with both WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore. I actually uninstalled Shazam (at the time I noticed it) because I installed SoundHound Infinity.
However, I just manually rebooted my phone and, yes, my WeatherBug Elite came back with the error (after re-installing and setting it up).
I tested my other Amazon apps (Airport Mania: First Flight, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, Diner Dash 2, Doodle Jump, Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, SoundHound Infinity, and Talking Tom Cat) and it's only the WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore.
I'm running a Droid X with Liberty 1.5 ROM.
The same here... any solution..??
Same problem...
Any news or ideas?
I've been afraid to reboot my phone because of this issue. I guess it's not that big of a deal to uninstall and reinstall two apps, but it's just so annoying. I'm going to download Ad-Free from Google Market later and revert my hosts file and reboot my phone, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it but I'll let you guys know if it works.
Reverting the hosts file does nothing. I have to reinstall Weatherbug Elite and Shazam again for the 5th time! Ugh.

If everyone that is having the same problem is willing to take a little bit of time to tell Amazon that this isn't an isolated issue, they might look into further and offer us a solution. Here is the email: [email protected]
I am having the same issue. I did not realize that it was the reboot that was triggering it until I read this thread. Same two apps, Weatherbug and Shazam. The only thing that fixes it is to uninstall and reinstall.
I am running Serendipity 6.3 also.
I have the same issue with those apps running on Cog4.3

Same here!!
same problem here in continuum 4
I found a fix, seems to be working
1. Delete Amazon App store from device (under Settings->Applications, "Clear Data" and "Uninstall")
2. Delete (deregister) all occurrences of device in question from Amazon profile (Your Account > Your Apps and Devices)
3. "Send Amazon App store to a new device" (since mine is a tablet, I sent it to my email)
4. Install Amazon App Store from this new delivery
5. Run App store and log in
Apps should work at that point.
(Note: some of those steps may be unnecessary overkill, but hey, it worked...)

do you guys have any start up managers? It seems that the issue all revolve around the amazon market place. Weather bug has always caused issues with every rom I have ever used so I just dont use it any more. I have no prob with Shazam
Nope. I use stock cog4.3 running overstock kernel. That is it. Nothing special here.

Could be rom related. Have you tried a different rom?
No but others on other roms have reported the same issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'm on stock Froyo and now any app that I've downloaded from the Amazon app store wont open, including WB and Shazam, but also AB Rio, Backbreaker Football and Doodle Jump.So ROM is not the issue, AAS has messed something up.
This is why the amazon store will not be on my phone.

Google Camera

So has anyone noticed that the Google Camera app is no longer visible in the play store? It may just be in the USA where I am, but the only way I can find the Google Camera app, is when I'm behind a VPN for another country. Anyone else notice this or know why?
I read something about this the other day. It has disappeared from the Play Store, it's not just in the US. You can still find it on APKMirror.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
The direct link still works, but unless you own a Nexus 5, 6, 9, 5X or 6P, you will not be able to install it as Google has restricted the app to those devices. Further, you can not search for the app on the PC or the Play Store, which I believe means the link's only purpose is to allow for updating the app for the Nexus line. It's still possible to download it from APK Mirror, but for devices other than the five mentioned, it probably will report an older version, if it installs at all.
The real question is, what is Google planning here? We just don't know.

No idea! What's weird is that I saw people on Reddit saying they were from Canada and they were able to search the app in the playstore, and after using a VPN and spoofing my location, I was able to search it in chrome as well! I'm not sure what they're doing, but it's really strange!
could be a problem of playstore.. this has existed for the past few weeks now.. but searching for the app on google still routes you to the playstore.. wonder why app cant be visible on the playstore itself
There is one other app they have with this behavior: Google Play Services. You can search for com.android.google.gms in the Play Store on both PC and device. However it won't show up, and you have to use a direct link to see it. Unlike Google Camera however, Play Services is for every phone.
Hopefully it's a mistake on Google's part and it will be fixed soon.
For what it's worth, today on nexus 6 with pico open gapps, and AICP 13 (8.0 Oreo), the above link gave "not available in your country" (USA) in browser, but copying the link in the browser had an option/link to play store, which did work, and after install Gcamera works! I was missing photosphere, so thanks!

Problem installing most Amazon Apps

Hi,
Is anyone else having issues installing the prime photos app, the Amazon drive app and the Amazon Alexa app from the play store? I have trieda few times and keep getting an error code '505'.
I have also tried to install the Amazon app store to see if I can install them from there, but the app fails to install also despite unknown sources being enabled for Chrome and files.
If anyone can shed any light on this I'd appreciate it.
Cheers!
Same here
I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm unable to install Amazon Prime from the app store and updates to the preinstalled Amazon apps also fail. I've tried reaching out to Huawei, but haven't had a response yet.
have amazon prime, music and video all installed without issues
Sorted

I've just deleted the pre-installed Amazon apps and downloaded them again and all working now. Must have been an issue in the original download.
What's about shopping app?
Play store says it's not compatible
Same
Exactly the same as with the other apps. I deleted the shopping app and reinstalled it as new from the play store and it worked. Haven't been any updates since, so don't know whether it will update ok in the future or whether will need to reinstall everytime.

Too bad I had no preinstalled Amazon apps.
As workaround, I have installed the apk from apkmirror
Thank you - I was having this issue and uninstalling the Amazon shopping app that came pre installed (and also wouldn't update via play store) and then reinstalling it did the trick!
I've got exactly the same problem as nrdmtt. I uninstalled the Amazon Shopping app to try and fix Amazon apps not installing or updating, and now the Play Store says it's not compatible with my phone. Derp.

Same problem, Amazon shopping says it isn't compatible with my phone. All other Amazon apps won't install, 505 error. Can't sideload, same error.
The weird thing is that when I got the phone I copied all settings and apps from my Samsung S7 edge via Huawei smart clone. All the amazon apps worked but prime video was SD not HD. Saw other people with the same problem that said deleting and reinstalling fixed it. I tried this and then couldn't reinstall, so the next suggestion was to remove all amazon apps and reinstall. Wish I'd never tried as no Amazon apps will reinstall, tried all documented fixes and also reformatted the cache partition. Also noticed the play store via web browser shows the prime video app as already installed on my P20 Pro.
I'm not factory resetting my phone as this doesn't always resolve it so will just do without any amazon apps for now. I'm now on the 110 firmware, C782 UK O2 and still the same. Amazon and Huawei are looking into it but haven't heard from them for a while now.
So after I uninstalled the Amazon Shopping app I've been able to successfully install Amazon Music. I've not tried any of the others as I don't use them.
I'm guessing we'll have to wait for an update from Amazon.

Ok so I just sideloaded the Amazon Shopping app. It's the latest build from May 31st labelled version 16.10.0.100. It installed fine and other Amazon apps install as well. Tested with Kindle installed from the Play Store.

Uninstalled all my amazon apps, but now none will reinstall when attempted from Play store. Now have no amazon apps on phone pigged off right now. Really need to get this sorted. I am going to get onto Huawei tech support and log this with them too, hopefully the more that do will force a correction. Will have to revert to my old Samsung S7 to watch Prime video and listen to music on my travels now.

I had the same issue, I removed all amazon apps and none of them would reinstall, just got the 505 error and Amazon and Huawei couldn't help.
Recently I managed to resolve it, follow these steps, it may work for you too:-
1. Go to settings
2. Apps & notifications
3. Select Apps
4. Tap the settings gear at the bottom
5. Select App links
6. Here I saw the Amazon shopping app listed (even though it had been uninstalled and didn't appear anywhere else) Your phone may show a different amazon app
7. Tap the Amazon app
8. Tap the app logo/text at the top of the screen
9. Now there's an option to uninstall, uninstall the app and now you should be able to install most amazon apps.
Now I can install any amazon app except the shopping app as the Play store says my phone isn't compatible, so I sideloaded instead and it works fine. It looks as though sometimes the apps may not uninstall completely which obviously causes issues. I haven't seen any 505 errors since.
Hope that helps.

Pleased it worked and thanks for the update! I went almost 3 months without any amazon apps so was happy when I figured this out.
I've passed the solution on to Huawei because I think a few are having the same issue.
yeh I can't get the latest update to amazon shopping as now says not supported for any of my huawei devices
Amazon Shopping App issues
I was having same issues, couldn't even find Amazon shopping app from my P20 Pro on Google Play and on my laptop was getting "No eligible devices for app install".
Have however managed to install from the Huawei AppGallery on my phone. All the writing is in Chinese in the AppGallery but once installed and opened, it's all in English. I was able to sign in with my existing amazon account and it lists an outstanding order that I'd just made from my laptop. All seems well. YNWA.

Great advice thanks - I had the same problem, which your solution seems to have solved
None of the above solutions work for me. Amazon App Store won't open, the rest of Amazon apps work fine.

recent problem with a custom build - Play Store doesnt download anymore

ive found another thread with this problem with - answers.
i guess its worth a shot.
any ideas what to do? ive ran multiple tests with no luck. im happy at least that now i know how i can fix play store.
its a bit sad tho, cause i can manage to make financial apps work .. but cant get them from store (and i dont trust getting them anywhere else)
i played around with stopping magisk app also uninstalled xposed , seems stable now
Is this referring to an issue where the Play Store opens and can install/uninstall apps with no problem but for some reason it stops functioning as it should when checking for app updates? Where it doesn't display the list of apps with available updates at all and tapping to manually check for updates animates for only a second and returns nothing?
Or is this referring to downloading certain apps hidden by Play Store when it can't verify your phone/ROM through SafetyNet or Google device certification, with the Store app fully functional otherwise?
