From a company which ships 64bit devices with 32bit (closed source ofc) bootloaders you have to expect everything.
Seriously, lots of people never update their phones, though way more people update apps via Play Store. There should have been some serious problem which let Sammy push the update via the Play Store method

You will in a near future. The domain is already reserved by Zinga for http://www.farmvilleandroid.com
You may be able to play now using the webbrowser (in the Flash webpage) with FROYO (Android 2.2)
i tried it in HTC Desire Froyo, it says Device not supported
Why, it's a gorram virus! A pox on humankind!
Agree... A deadly virus indeed.
But if you are addicted already, at least you can go outside and maybe meet some real people

Are you talking about ZINGA's FarmVille ?
The application was not released.
You may be able to play using Flash if you have Froyo.
Hi,
Sorry to sound noob but, after flashing my i9000 with froyo and installing the flash update, i am still unable to play farmville because it states that device is not supported. what ways are there to work around this? Thanks in advance.
In browser settings chose desktop instead phone and you'll be able to run farmville on default browser. But better way is to choose Skyfire.
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab from Sprint for the sole purpose of playing Farmville at my work. The store employee said it would work but it doesn't. I d/l skyfire as suggested and it gets all the way to loading then just stops and doesn't complete the loading. There is a down arrow on the page and when I click it, it just starts the loading again but doesn't finish. What can I do to get this game working for me? thanks.

Google Play and my 8.9 Galaxy

Ever since I got my 8.9 Galaxy tab I've noticed issues with the Google Play store. Things like the HBO Go app not being available for it, but if you were to go behind the Google Play and manual install the Kindle fire's version it would work beautifully. I've ran into other apps that are not available for me, but are for similar devices. Now I'm noticing google is offering magazines, but they are only for 7 & 10 inch devices. Which makes no sense to me since you can buy a whole range of monitors for your computer and that doesn't seem to affect what your doing on it.
I guess I'm used to a world where to run an app you only need to have the correct OS and hardware to run it.
Why does android applications seem more concerned with brand name of your device and the screen size?
magazines
Looks like just after my post they updated my Google Play to allow for the purchases of magazines. It still seems that there are issues with the Android Market when it comes to compatibility that don't truly reflect if your device is compatible or not.

Google Play has been like this for a long time. Developers may wish on allow their app on confirmed working devices and will place restrictions on who can download it. While this helps keep their ratings higher from incompatible users hating their app. It leaves less popular devices out in the cold regardless of compatibility issues. But its why we have apk files and friendly xda members to get them for us
Hbo go updated their app it works now

If I Bought A Small Ton Of Xbox Games For WP 7/7.5?

You will have those apps on any phone you use as long as you use the same Microsoft account that purchased them. On a new phone it will say "Buy", but after you click it, the marketplace recognizes that you've already purchased the apps and will allow you to download them.
Or just log in to windowsphone.com, look at your purchased list of apps and reinstall whatever you want from the browser. They'll be sent to your phone automatically.
One thing to be aware of though: it seems that 20 or so XBox Live Games have compatibility issues with WP8 and are therefore currently not available on WP8 if you look for them in the store. Some of the Devs are working on adapting their Games but as far as WPCentral found out not all of them.
But in general: yes, the purchases are tied to your Microsoft Account (Live ID) and will therefore be available on your new device as well.

Cannot install a lot of apps from GP store

I did the nuke-it-and-make-it-usable upgrade. This is my first, so please forgive me if I don't use the correct terminology. I used FlashFire and uploaded SlimRom, SuperSu, and mini-gapps. It seems most of the apps I try to install says its not compatible with my device. Some apps I know are supposed to be there, don't show up in a search. Also, it kinda leans like it's a phone instead of a tablet. This may be normal, not sure there. Someone smarter than me, feel free to chime in. Am I doing something wrong, or did I miss a step? I used the tool from RootJunky. They gave this forum a lot of props and said you guys are the go-to peeps. I believe I got my files from the mirrors here. Amazon Fire 7", 5.1.1, Thanks in advance...
You pretty much would have to install the APK for each app that you cannot download from the Google Play store, part of the reasoning behind this is because Amazon Fire isn't officially supported by the Google Play Store, thus some apps will be unistallable via the app store.
You can download the APKs here: https://apkpure.com/app?hl=en
All the APKs should work. Just one thing to note would be that in the future, you'd have to reinstall the APK whenever a new update arrives for your app.
Best of luck!

So, in the background its still an Amazon Fire? I guess I just assumed by doing the new ROM, it would get rid of everything Amazon. That's what I get for assuming :laugh:. Thanks!!
Great question and thanks for the answer. This may not be related to the "505 error" but I noticed with apps like "Open Camera" that it says the device is not compatible, and now I know why!

I have since used apkpure and so far all the apps I have searched for has installed and worked pretty much like their supposed to. Thanks again!
Yeah, I had the same problem, particularly with "Google Play." Sadly, my local news channel app is not available there, but a lot of other apps I was having problems with were.

How to install Galaxy Apps in non Samsung phones?

I can't see all the watches faces from my phone when comparing with my mother's Samsung phone. Is there a way to workaround that? For instance, when I search for a watch face using my OnePlus I can see the same results as searching from a Samsung phone in the same region as mine.
To install Samsung apps on a non-Samsung phone you have to check the compatibility of the apps with your phone. To do this, just visit the play store type “Samsung apps” in the search bar. Google only shows apps that are compatible with your phone so if it is there, app will be installed and work.

Look for sideloads such as apkmirror...
Not sure if it would work on a non-samsung device...
For faces, there are many apps with watch faces, also, galaxy wearables app usually takes you to the right location to buy or install faces...

Tried download two different versions from ApkMirror, but they didn't work. I just want to buy some watches from the official Galaxy App Store, but I can't find them using my non Samsung phone. :/
