Yesterday I got my Nexus and began installing play store apps. After I got many of my apps installed I noticed that some apps were coming up with "Your device isn't compatible with this version" and I wasn't able to download them. I went back and looked at some apps I had already installed such as Facebook for android and even that shows the same message now even though I was able to install it previously. I am disallowed in both the play store app as well as the web site from installing these apps so it is clearly something stored on play about my device. Is anyone else seeing this? Try the following apps
Facebook for Android
Firefox
My Tracks
Evernote
This list could go on.

I guess I should add that I am rooted and I made the following change to my build.prop file in order to get the tablet view.
- ro.sf.lcd_density=213
+ ro.sf.lcd_density=175
I guess I will try switching the density back and see if that makes a difference.
This is a common issue after you changed the LCD density, and unfortunately, there is no real solution (that I know of).
To get around this, revert back to the native density of 213. Clear cache of Play store. All apps should be compatible as stock. You can try to go back the lower the density again. Without clearing cache of the Play store this time, you may get lucky that the Play store may *think* it is still under the default LCD density.

Changing his density back should do it, with the clearing the cache of the play store

Many of my GSII apps show as incompatible. No root or anything done to N7 yet. I did get FB to work though.
Thank you all for the replies. When I made the dpi changes the Play Store did operate as normal for some time. I have now switched my dpi back and cleared cache and data for Play Store. Still not working properly at this point, but I will keep you posted. Thanks for the heads up!
For future reference I found this post that talks about Tablet UI and the aforementioned Play Store issue.

are you able to launch the apps you already installed despite the reported error?

Yes, I have no problem launching those apps. It sounds like its just a Play Store incompatibility. Some others have reported using a dpi of 160 and not having Play Store issues, but like I said, my issue showed up a couple hours after the fact. And having changed it back to the default, my Play Store issues have not yet gone away.
After changing the settings back, force stopping play store, clearing cache and data, then rebooting, I was able to get the play store behaving properly again. But I HATE the phone UI. So I am tempted to change it back once I get the apps I want. I may give 160 a shot rather than 175.

Glad to hear that it worked.
I have been using DPI of 160 since yesterday. Play store is still behaving normally so far. Fingers crossed.
Let us know how it turned out for you at 160.
Since I've had my device rooted I have had a lot of apps on the plays store which says incompatible with your device, can someone e please help, thank you.
Why not just follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970
And skip changing the DPI.
Ain't there another way without patching it, that is long a and I don't want to mess up my nexus 7
I get this message when trying to install one of my favorite apps: Amazon Shopper..... I don't know why such a popular app would not be supported by the N7!?

Hi,
To change your LCD density but avoid apps incompatibility, set your density back to 213.
Now, create a file in /data/local.prop and type in it :
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
You can change the density to whatever you want, save and reboot
Please press thanks if I helped you

Hey, you're awesome! This method really fixed my market missing apps and my N7 still stay in Tablet mode!! Nice!!
I installed this last night and the program itself works but every time I restart my phone it says "Updating" on the status bar and I have no service
When I uninstall Xposed it still says "Updating" in the status bar but it goes away after a minute and I get service again
I turned off System Updates and the problem still happens
Any solutions?
I would like to add my strange experience to this thread. I installed the Xposed framework and right after reboot I noticed that the google play store would no longer fully download anything. I would go to download or update an app but the progress stops randomly during the download. (The download would stop progressing and the little downloading icon in the notification bar would disappear) This strange issue is fixed by uninstalling the framework. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Note 4 touchwiz rom or the new google play apps that have been recently pushed (it seems they were just updated, I swear!)
I just wanted to leave this here. I will try running the framework again
Also I tried it with NO modules running.
Hey,
Installed this yesterday on my Note 4 to change the app DPI and Res so I can get Play Store tablet view etc. Went through the install, changed the settings, rebooted and the store is still the same so I don't think it's actually doing anything.
The apps I changed are shown in red, does this mean the settings are applied or that there is a problem?

Same experience here. It would download apps at the end of the day, but it takes 3-5 minutes per app. Also I start getting Google Services and google.location "unexpectedly stopped" errors after reboot. Disabling xposed framework makes these errors go away.
I have a Note 4 with a stock rom. Everything on x-posed is working perfectly for me... the framework and 20 modules all dead nuts as far as I can tell. That includes private mode.

You need multiDPI Patched playstore and Google play services to change the DPI, it will not work just by changing in App Settings. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871

I had the same experience on my Note 4, an exynos version. Play store downloads would lock up and not finish downloading. Has anyone figured out what the problem might be and if it's processor - dependent?

Everyone having issues with laggy installs, the phone glitching up or lagging intermittently, SMS issues with the stock touchwiz messages app (you should check for that), etc., check out the following threads:

Anyone find a fix yet?
I noticed last night my wife's Note 4 is on Play Store version 5.1.11 while my Nexus is on 5.0.38. Is there a way to force the update? When I check in settings it says my Play Store is up to date. I am rooted with encryption off. Is that why I am not getting updated? I flashed the factory image to update my phone when 5.0.1 was released.
When I google the 5.1.11 update it shows that it came out almost two weeks ago.

APK MIRROR is the best place to get the new apks
Here is the play store link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
You can either wait, or download it from here and install it after checking "unknown sources" in settings/security.

Go to the play store and go to the settings. Tap on the version. It should update after that. My play store is 5.1.11 on stock, rooted, decrypted 5.0.1.

I knew I could sideload it but I didn't want to have to do that every single time so I was just unsure if something was broken with my update process. I guess I must just be on the back end of Google's roll out or something.
Typically I wouldn't care about a Play Store update but this one seems kind of nice with the account management stuff.

This is what made me think my update process is messed up somehow. When I go to that settings page it tells me my version 5.0.38 is up to date. I also thought that was the way to force the update.
It might be possible to go into your Settings->Apps and go to the System tab and tap on Play Store. Try hitting uninstall updates and once that's done, go to the Play Store and tap on the version. I'm trying to help without you risking a 3rd party Play Store

Lol, it redownload 5.0.38. I'll just sideload it this time since I am being very impatient.

Anybody else notice that Google Camera is missing from the Play Store? A Google search says this happened back in March, but should still be available to Nexus devices.
I'm not seeing it on my Nexus 6 running the TuPac lite 30D ROM. Curious if others can still see it.
did you change your dpi?(screen size)

Nope. Still at 560.
I think something may be screwy with my device on my Google account.
On the Play Store settings it shows as a Verizon Nexus 6 but it doesn't show at all on Android Device Manager nor the Android N beta sign up.

mine doesnt show on my device manager either(on my sgs4 the n6 shows up though, and i signed up for N. the odd thing is it does show up, if looking certain ways, but a search on thd play store app it doesnt show up here either. but.. if i go to the page of my installed google cam it shows up, or if i press a link on google via a search it shows up as well.
There was a discussion on the Google Camera missing from the Play Store here. In short, I believe they hid the app so it can update, but cannot be installed.

Strange. I only started noticing issues when I manually installed the first N beta. Don't remember if I signed up for the beta afterward or not but ran into these issues when going back to Marshmallow.

Makes sense, but if the app is installed, it should still appear in the Play Store, even if it's not available otherwise. If it weren't you wouldn't be able to update it, right? Curious about why they did this.
Google Play Services, which I reference in the other thread, cannot be searched for within the Play Store on device or PC. It automatically updates itself, and also does not appear in the list of installed apps. To find it on the Play Store on a PC, you have to know its package name (com.google.android.gms), perform a search for any other app, and replace that app's package name with the Google Play Services package name, in order to call it up.
Google Camera is easier to find. A search on the device won't pull up anything, but it does show up in the installed apps list on the Play Store. If you search on the PC, you'll find it there. You won't be able to install it however unless you have the right Nexus device (5X, 6, 6P, 9) and that Nexus device is apparently stock. Pure Nexus also shows the camera app as being incompatible, though we can install and use it without trouble.
As to why Google did this, I couldn't tell you. Unless it's in preparation for Android N. Currently I have the Android N camera app installed, but I had to get it from outside the Play Store.
I had this same issue. Thought it was just me

So loving the phone so far but my download speeds seem to be throttled when downloading on the Play store. <500kb/s consistently. other apps that require additional files download fine and streaming content is unaffected. It seems to be a common problem but i cant find a solution anyone else experiencing this ?
At first i thought it was my internet was going through a slow moment, but then i noticed the speeds never got better, I also have my note 5 which downloads from the play store at 10 mb/s so.

i know what u talking about my friend ! I got same issue with my mi5 pro. And I didn't fix that. It just some apps downloading good and some super slow...and it doesn't matter how speedy your wifi. Also chase bank is not working and some other apps will not. US and China is fighting with each other or what ever it is sir. The other roms will not help too.....until Cyanogen maybe. Damn I was about to pay 1.5k for the device and you remind all that sh!t I was faced to.

Seem to remember my wives note pro doing the same thing, then found out it had a vendor rom, once I took the chance and flashed genuine rom all was good. Where did you download playstore from? I had better results using Xiaomi google installer from their own store.
Yah the eBay seller installed the global rom for me including the play store. Maybe I should try installing it myself.
Mine does the same thing, and I'm pretty sure I have a vendor Rom on it as well. I figured it had to do with the Locale setting as it defaults to China and there is no United States listed.
But now that I have all my apps moved over its not as much of an issue, but it is pretty strange.
Is it the Play Store throttling? or something else on the phone maybe?
I installed the latest EU Rom and it has worked very well for me. No download issues in Play Store and actually being able to set wallpapers and lock screen compared to when I was on the China Rom. Plus, I can set locale to US with the EU.

I was having problems with slow downloads as well and it went away when I disabled the download accelerator in the MI APP STORE (which seems to try to point to some server in China which doesn't work well from the USA).
APP STORE, Account, Downloads, click on the to right (3 dots), settings and shut off "Xunlei download engine) and set "downloading using mobile data is" to unlimited.
Once I did this, it fixed my problems with the Google Play Store (as well as an updates from the MI app store).
Not sure if this will help but you can give it a try

I have the original China rom too, and turning off the MI app setting didn't help me at all.
What version of google play services are you running?
I didn't have the Mi App Store installed at all on whatever rom I had on this phone, But I find it odd that only Google Play gets throttled, and not all the time either. I even tried installing the Mi App Store separately, but unfortunately it won't even launch on my phone.
So can we assume that there is some sort of redirect in the phone somewhere for just the Play Store? Or is the Play Store picking up our locale and redirecting itself?
Just trying to get some more info to track this down, I hope nothing else is being routed through Chinese servers.
So I finally installed the EU Stable rom. Got rooted, disabled everything Xiaomi related, nothing in my running tasks is different from standard android.
Google Play is still being throttled to around 500K/s. But not all the time..
Could this be something on Googles end? Is there any sort of network monitor that might show it using some sort of proxy? Nothing else on the phone is slow, just the Play Store...
It's never googles end. freeze the download manager or disable it from apps, long time since I used xiaomi, thats about to change.

It's starting to look like the issue is in the DownloadProvider.apk. It sounds like people with the EU Dev rom don't have this issue.
If someone on the EU Dev rom could post their DownloadProvider.apk that would be awesome. /system/priv-app/DownloadProvider is the location...
