I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 from Ebay Germany and used the guide to switch from Froyo to Overcome. Everything worked out perfectly.
The only problem is that I cannot download some apps I had installed before. For example Firefox. In the Play Store App I cannot even find them.
I even cannot download apps installed before from my list "android apps" using my PC. There is a warning that the item is not compatible with my device.
I tried out different things, but nothing worked so far. Could anyone help me please.
Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone...
I just did a Google search for this problem and was extremely disappointed..so I figured I'd check with the great minds here at xda...
My girlfriend got a transformer for Christmas...and she has an HTC desire z...both devices are listed on her Android market account...
However when she started get tablet for the first time...most of her apps from her phone were already installed...and now when she searches the market for apps...it doesn't show certain apps from the market designed for tablets (specifically the weather network app..which I have on my tablet...not the weatherstrip one but the TWN one..)
I tried to share it via gmail but when she clicks the link..she gets the "app is incompatible with your device"in her tablet....
Is ether any way to bypass this or change some settings somewhere so that she can download it??
Like I said...I can see it and download it...we have the same versions and same settings..
Thanks in advance!
I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error
Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..
what rom are you using buddy?
I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.
Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.
I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution
phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).

I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol
Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?
yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side
I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.
Google Play error

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.
I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

XWLP2 4.0.3 stock for sgs2.. Web site is blank too so not rom related I think.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.
I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom
Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.
Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?
I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible here so bear with me. So a few days ago I got my first android device, a refurbished Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Everything was working fine when I first got the device (including the google play store). I did a lot of research and ended up following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880010 to root and install CWM on the device. Cool right, everything still works (including the google play store). Next I decided I wanted to try out a custom ROM so I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202854 in order to install the PAC-ROM. Everything was working fine and I was really loving the new UI but this is when **** hits the fan. The google play store stopped showing me apps and when I could get one to show up through a search I was presented with a lovely "This item isn't available in this country". I followed some advice on XDA forums saying to clear the play store data/cache and reboot (tried this about 30 times). Nothing. Reset app preferences and clear all data/cache again. Nothing. Remove and re-add my google account. Nothing. Remove google account, reset everything, reboot, and add a new google account. NOTHING. At this point I'm getting frustrated so I decide to just do a factory reset and reinstall STOCK JB 4.1.1. NON-rooted following these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283598. NOTHING! When I open the play store I am presented an empty menu with a bunch of categories that have nothing in them. If I search for major apps like "Facebook" I can get to the app page but it says "This item isn't available in your country". I've tried about 10 google accounts now and to no avail. What's really weird is that I can't see the google play store on my Desktop computer either (both on the same wifi), its also a blank menu and If I search for a major app it shows me a few apps and most of them are in Chinese? What. The. ****. So, any ideas?

Does it look like this?

If it does, I'm having the same exact problem on a Kindle fire 2 running stock cm10.2
E: Oh, and this also started happening using the kf2 port of pac rom, if that means anything.
Very simple. The Play Store thinks you have a Chinese device and those are the only apps available for that device. Either install a new ROM or edit the build.prop in the system folder. I use Root Explorer which has a Text Editor built in. Change all the instances of the tablet model to the correct model. Save and reboot your tab and all should be well.
Do a complete wipe before you install a ROM if that is the path you choose.
nice info
Thanks
Well I figured out the source of the problem... my ASUS router. I had accidentally set the timezone to somewhere in the middle of the pacific ocean at -12:00 GMT when I'm actually in EST. I figured it out because on my girlfriend's wireless network my playstore worked absolutely fine (and she has the same ISP as I do). So after setting my router to the correct timezone all of my problem's were alleviated. :good:
Those looking for an offline navigation can now go to the galaxy app and download Nokia here official map for Samsung Galaxy device....
So hurry and Install the app and be tension free from Google maps which requires Internet connection for Voice Navigation..
But shows an error (SIG_FAILED)
I am Rooted and with Fast & Furious Rom .
Any one know how to get out of this situation...
I have the exact same error, i'm also rooted, don't know if it has any effect on downloads.
It's the first app in Galaxy Apps that gives me this error, i never had problems installing apps from the Galaxy Apps.
Fantastic, can and if yes, where can I download countries to my computer instead of phone?
I am rooted with X-Note ROM and Here works fine. So root is not a problem.
There are comments about installation failure in reviews section in Galaxy App Store and response from Here team telling that old version of Galaxy App Store can cause installation problems and suggestion to update app store.
Installed, Works perfectly. My only issue is I cant login to my HERE Account, It keeps saying Incorrect Email/Password - Which the same works fine on HERE Web. A few more smooth updates, and I hope I can get rid of Google Maps.
Installed & working perfectly, voice navigation working without internet, very good app
Sent from my SM-N9005
Couldn't install via net (deleted S Browser a long time ago), but reinstalled the Samsung Galaxy Apps apk and installed from there.
Working perfectly, and a nicer UI than OSMand, my default nav tool. Thanks to the OP for the tip.

Welcome to the forums Are you referring to the Playstore or the Amazon Appstore? For the Playstore, if you have a PC, go to here and check or uncheck your device.
Thank you for responding, but apparently you are not reading my question properly.
If the device appeared on the google play site (online site - play.google.com), I would not have a problem. The issue is that it does not appear. It is not simplistic....the play store is properly accessed on the device and the settings for back up and sync are correct. These items were also verified by google support.
However, the device does not appear on the online site, but does on the devices itself.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
