[GUIDE] Market Compatibility Fix for LCD Density Change!

Love your new LCD density but hate the Market showing all your favorite apps as incompatible? Here's a fix discovered by insink71 over at the CM Forums. I have personally tested it, and can confirm it working for my device.
This fix is quite simple, and doesn't require uninstallation of the Market update every time it reinstalls itself.
1. Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> All.
2. Scroll down and click on Market.
3. Click on the "Clear data" button.
4. Using whatever method you favor, change the LCD density to 160 for now.
5. Reboot your device.
6. Go to the Market and click the Accept button when prompted.
7. Go back and change the LCD density back to whatever you like.
8. Reboot your device.
Done! The Market should now work properly

Very good guide! Thank you for sharing it with the community

nice find!! atlast a solution to one damn problem

I try it but ... when i go on market to choose my application to DL (example GTA3 , when i click on install it's say : not compatible!)
damn it !! >.<

Doesn't work for me.

Didn't work here, after this procedure I changed to 200dpi, then on market search for google maps and got no results

Doesn't work for me too

Found a post with another solution, haven't tested it myself yet but seems feasible.

[Q] Google Play disappeared

Hi,
Samsung Galaxy SII user here.
This afternoon I noticed the Google Play icon was missing from my homescreen.
I've searched for it but it isn't in my applications or in the manage applications list.
How do I get it back?
Please help!

Hello mate,
Check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550167 it has a link to the play stores apk file. If the link is down just do a Google search for it.
Hopefully installing it again should sort it

Ok downloaded, thanks.
However I get this on opening
Sorry!
The application Google Play Store
(process com.android.vending) has
stoped unexectedly. Please try
again
Force close

Settings->applications->manage apps->play store-> clear data
seems to have done the trick
Edit: Actually no, this hasnt worked!

Hmm, strange.. Have u got a custom rom installed atm?

Did you try fix permissions

My Google Play also disappeared after install this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594041.
How can I get back?
(Sorry, I had not seen the link of the google applications)

did you do some modifications on your phone previously?

possible fix
I had the google play store disappear from my app drawer but could see it when you go under settings - apps
what i did is show all apps click on the google play one then select uninstall updates.
that worked for me my icon is back in my drawer now.

instagram

hello
I have a problem with my galaxy fit
I cant run instagram , its send an error { incompatible device }
plz help me whats wrong
thanks

Here, this is what Instagram Support said:
Instagram said:
We're aware of an issue where some people get a "Device not compatible" error message in the Google Play Store when trying to download Instagram, even though Instagram should support the phone. Google is currently investigating this issue with Google Play Store.
As a temporary workaround, Google suggests clearing Google Play Store's data from your phone and then trying to install Instagram. To do this, go to Settings > Application Manager > All > Google Play Store > Clear data.
If this workaround doesn't resolve your problem, please let us know.

Yes it is

My tip: Reinstall your ROM

If the playstore is showing error, just download the instagram apk from slideme app store and install it manually.

[Q] SM-T211

Dear all,
I sincerely seek help into my rooted device, SM-T211.
It was working fine until today, which I found out that the google play store is not working. It was represented as loading but not connected. When I retry, nothing works. Thus I looked online and they asked me to clear the cache and data at setting > apps.
I did but it didn't work for me...
Another solution arises and suggest me to factory reset.
Being a awful noob I reset it.
So the device woke up WITHOUT A KEYBOARD. (I deleted it...)
So I connected it to the computer and downloaded swiftkey. At least I've a keyboard now!
BUT. Under settings > add account > google is not working. not loading not prompting me to add account. Like the selection was not available.
Yes, the google play store is still not working.
Although I'm able to download the games and apps by other means but not having my account logged on means I cannot purchase anything from the store, not even using Freedom.
This is so bad, please help me!
I'm suspecting that I might delete an important system app of google or some sort...
But I can't seem to restore it or google a list of apk/system files that I need. My device is SM-T211.
I'm desperately finding answers on google but nothing showed up :'(
I'm sorry that I'm a noob but still want to root my device... (I don't even know whats flashing ROM all that... omg help)
Please help me through this tide.
Thank you very much in advance!!

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your help and advice and I tried it out, it worked! But unfortunately I wasn't able to find the correct file for this device... I ended up choosing the one for my country because the website don't have the baseband version of this device...
My device baseband version is T211XXAMFN
Was working well until again the connection failed at play store again... I think is device is beyond hope now T. T :'(

Hello! I finally figured it out! At first it was not working even clearing the cache, data and even force stopped the Google play store. But after using the root Explorer I was able to use play store by going into root Explorer > etc > host and add a # to the ip address... I still want to thank you all for helping me!
