Searched before asking, came up empty.
I tried upgrading to various ICS roms from on the forum. Every single one give me the same problems with market/play: Server error. I can not connect to the market. I never had a problem with honeycomb, and I've tried various roms and different versions of gapps. Also my cellphone (Huawei U8800) connects fine. I'm downloading the NVflash stock version now to try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524302
Any ideas on what may be the problem or what I can try to fix it?
The only possible thing I can think of is that because I'm in China it doesn't like the ICS versions of market/play, but that doesn't really make much sense.
Update: The NVFlash stock non-rooted version didn't work. Tried downloading and manually updating to the latest Google play, still got server error. Downgraded back to Honeycomb, didn't work. I ended up having to use a “Chinese Market" whose name I shouldn't mention. At least I can get adobe flash and the rest of the basics. Thanks Google. Even better was the "Chinese Market" updated Google play.

I had the same problem, full wipe, installed different ROMs didn't help.
If you have a VPN to US for once, the problem will resolve, after that the Market/Play will work even outside of US. The problem is on Google side.

Few days ago I updated my Motorola Defy to Froyo.
After I updated I noticed the market had the old version, I found a zip file of the new version and flashed it, everything seemed to be fine, the market was working well, but then I tried to update an application and it suddenly gave me a FC...
I even tried reflashing a different zip but it still gave me the error.
Since then I can't access the market..
Anyone knows what's the problem/how can I fix it?
Thanks.
Does it occur when you try to update one particular application or any appliation?
I don't know, because The first application I wanted to update already caused it, and if it matters, and I don't think it does, it was Basketball Shot
did you give it a chance to automatically update the market for you? When I flashed to a new rom on my Captivate, it was still on the old market for a few minutes until it installed to the new version.
Yeah.. I waited for 2 days and it didn't update it.
Is anyone having problem downloading flash player from market? Ive tried and it says device incompatible.

They have stopped flash on mobile phones I think who ever had flash player installed before adobe made the announcement that they are discontinuing flash player are still able to use it because now they are focusing on.HTML5.

That doesn't sound right. I know they stopped, but I think that just meant they aren't developing for future versions of Android. They still support the existing version of flash and even still provide updates to security.
I will uninstall and try to reinstall to see if I have a problem as well.

It should still work. They aren't discontinuing the flash player. They just stopped development on it... which means it reached a point where it's stable.
They ARE moving toward HTML5, but they aren't just tossing the towel at flash. It'll be around, even in ICS. They said they would still work on compatibility and support, but they just won't be developing new features for it.
If it says it isn't compatible, then that is a market issue I would assume. Try clearing your market cache from Settings>Applications.
If you've having that particular error, you need to uninstall any version of flash that you have currently installed (even if it is preloaded). Then, reboot your phone, and try the market again and it should work.
Oh I don't know because this is not the only person that's having the same issues that's why I seen alot of people tell me that they are having issues with flash player. I haven't had a problem with my flash player yet mine still works n very stable.

It is a protected app. That means if your rom fingerprint has not been approved by Google (i.e., official rom by carrier or manufacturer that is a member of the Open Handset Alliance) you cannot download it from the Android Market (will show as not compatible with your device). This is an issue with many apps if in the Dev Console on the Market they have checked the "Protected App" box. Change the rom description and fingerprint in the build.prop to the ones in the build.prop of the latest official rom for your device. If a G2X change these two lines and then you can download flash and install it.
Code:
ro.build.description=lge_star-user 2.3.3 GRI40 41fdc8a2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=lge/lge_lge_star/p999:2.3.3/GRI40/lgp999-V21e.41fdc8a2:user/release-keys
Flash 11.1
I've downloaded Flash version 11.1.102.59 and it shows up in my Application information. But every time I've needed flash it says I need to download Flash and when I try it states the same as the OP "Device not Compatible" I haven't figured out how to fix the problem either. Any help will be greatly appreciated I assure you. Thanks,

If you're having this problem then you need to remove the preloaded flash player. The file for the preloaded Flash is /system/app/LibFlashPlayer.apk ... you can remove it manually or use titanium backup or similar to remove it. Then reboot and you should be able to install flash from the market.
EDIT:... somehow I feel like I'm repeating myself.
I have a GS2 and I live in Dubai. I always install my firmwares from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and I only install official firmwares. So today I installed XXLPQ which ic ICS 4.0.3.
I was mostly concerned about the arabic language, so fortunately it did have it as read, and I installed another keyboard for writing.
After using it for a few hours I noticed a few bugs, like wifi bug, it wouldnt connect to points where I have to set up a static up or takes up a long time to connect to normal points sometimes.
the Internet browser doesnt open. Google+ doesnt open and when I try to update it from market it gives me 941 error. I tried like other people suggested of force closing it and clear cache then try again, but didnt work.
So i'm wondering if I install firmware DXLP7 which is newer on the list, will solve some of the issues? will still have arabic read? and whats the benefit of installing the stock kernel after installing the firmware?
what do you guys suggest?
Thank in advance.
Ok I have a android 4.0 ics powered tablet ... its a Coby Kyros MID9742-8 tablet.... and I can't get flash to work. I've downloaded flash 11 from various site but it doesn't work. It installs, but when I'm on the desktop version of sites that have flash supported stuff, all I see is a little blue box with a question mark in it. I can't access the google market directly, so I downloaded the flash apk to my htc amaze from google play and tranferred it to my device like I do with all my apps but to no prevail. Also I have download flash from various sites and it still gives me the same problem... I know its only a coby tablet, but I'm running stock ics 4.0 so I know its capable of running flash. I've read there is flash support for ICS so I don't understand why I'm having problems. Any ideas... please... and some direct apk links to what may have worked for u would be great. Thanks

It was worth asking. How about different browsers? It could just be the stock browser that's at fault.
I use the stock browser and have no problems with Flash, but it's on different a different device (SGS2). It doesn't work in Chrome however, so it may be worth trying a couple of different ones.
Ok I got it working.... I downloaded a more updated flash apk from 1mobile.com....
same problem
I Have a Coby MID8042 tablet that also has 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich I have tried and tried to install flash and keep getting the same problems. All I get is the little blue lego with the question mark in it.
I have downloaded the latest version from 1mobile even, still same problem. Mine browser is also set to always allow plug ins, what else can I do? What is a good alternative browser for me to try for someone who is not that computer savvy?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Who are all these tablet manufacturers shipping out tablets with ICS, but without Adobe Flash support or Android Market / Google Play pre-installed?
What were they thinking?

My Stock HTC One S has been superb until about 6 months back when I continually keep getting Google Play Store Errors. It seems to be about 60% of the time which is a major pain.
I finally bit the bullet and rooted / rom'd my phone and have been progressing through the list of roms in XDA to try and eliminate this problem.
However, the Play Store issues persist!!! I've tried about 6 roms and a couple of different Gapps, so what's the cause??
Is the problem in my
Boot
Kernel
The Main Rom
Gapps
The closest I came to finding an answer was this quote - "The issue lies with the wifi module in the kernel. I have a fix should be out by tomorrow" in here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523609&page=30
I've tried the usual clearing cache, uninstalling services, rebooting, try downloading on 3g rather than wifi etc etc etc. But the point is this barely ever works, and We Shouldn't Have to do this!!!! I've googled till my fingers hurt... Any suggestions gratefully received. I love this phone and don't want to change!
My Phone is currently, Hboot 2.15, S-On, cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-ville, gapps-kk-20140105-signed. S4 1.5GHz model. TWRP 2.7 (I think)

U use outdated versions of CM11 and GApps as far as i see. BUT do you get a specific error message? Or does the playstore not connect?

I tried the latest CM11 nightly previously, and the suggested Gapps from the CM website - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps. I confirm I have TWRP = 2.7.0.0
I have now tried again cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-ville with the latest Gapps from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 (I chose the minimal Gapps to allow everything else to update from the Play Store).
I'm still getting the "Unknown error code during application installation 960" - I've had others but this is the most common.
The play store does connect - and if an app fails to install, it may (or may not) work later on so it appears totally random.
