So my device was listed yesterday in the Google Play store on the website, I did a nandroid, tried a different rom, was having issues so restored my nandroid. Today i
my device doesn't show up on the Google Play Store website... I cleared data/cache on the app and removed updates which forced it to re-upgrade. I can access and install apps via the phone app but still don't see the device on the website?
Any other ideas?
Weird, now it does. Must have been a Play Store glitch? Have noticed a few on and off issues with it lately... and I know some sites like Android Police were reporting that there were some issues.

Has anyone gotten the play store to auto-update to the new 4.0.x version? I know I could side-load it, but I was hoping for it to just auto-update to avoid hassles.
I've tried various combinations of clearing the play store and google services data, uninstalling their updates, and rebooting, and it re-updates them to the prior 3.x versions.
Is this just me? Anyone have suggestions on how to get this to update properly?

Mine is 4.0.26. I suggest try to clear data Google play store and Google Play services, uninstall updates, then reboot, this Google Play services should update and so is play store...hopefully.

Well, I'd tried that before, with no luck. Maybe something snuck in before I restarted and it updated to the old version? Who knows.
This time, based on some other searching I'd done, I tried also clearing the data for Google Services Framework, and being sure to reboot as fast as I could after doing all that.
I also went in and looked at the app versions after restarting but before launching the play store, and it had quickly re-updated the Google Play Services app to I think the newest version (3.0.27, matches my Droid 4 that has the new play store). After launching the play store, it updated that, but only to 3.10.14 (I think it was 3.10.9 before), not 4.0.x.
So, still no luck

I assumed that you're on the latest rom (JB 4.2.1) and latest bootloader? download and side load play store from here:

So I updated to the 4.4 Play Store and now when I try to use Hangouts its says "Google Play Services needs to be updated or may not be supported by your device." I tried wiping the apps data/cache but still have issue. Anyone else having this problem? Is the new version of the store the problem? if so where can I get the old version back?
EDIT* So I advanced restored system backup with the older version of the store and its still not working. Also Google Now, Play Games, are giving me the same error message. Says google play services are not supported by my device, contact manufacturer. Hangouts isnt a big deal cuz I dont use it much but I use Google now all the time.
Edit 2* I restored a full back up from a few days ago and now the issue is gone. Very strange. I would still like to know why this happened or what caused the issue. Weird cuz the back up has the 4.4 store still installed.
Having this issue too

I found out it was due to flashing the Inverted themed Play Store. The OP of the mod said it happens to some but not all. Haven't had any problems since.
I recently updated my phone to cm11 m8. All was fine until I opened my play store. It gave me the message 'unfortunately, google play store has stopped.' I tried the usual clear cache and data, rebooting the phone etc. Nothing seems to work. I then went ahead to uninstalling updates for Google play services. And when I realised that many apps wouldn't run on the older version I knew I was screwed. If I'm not wrong, the only way to update google play services is through the play store and my play store isn't working. Please someone help me. I feel so worried rn.

Make sure it's set as a system app, and not a user app.

Maybe the google apps weren't installed as they should have been when you were installing cm11. Try to get rid of any app that's related to google on your phone, and then find a zip folder of google apps (I suppose you can find one on cm webpage) and flash it via c.w.m.

i think you need to post to the developers of the rom to add some app gapps including the whole playstore and google services wich in flashable.zip so you could easily install
flash...
Same advice here
remove everything and flash gapps as a zip...
it will most probably work :good:
Cheers :good:
Whenever i open play store app on my s8 plus it just crash and message pop up saying that play store has stopped working. I have tried crearing cache, data and reboot. Nothing worked. Any solutions. My s8 plus is running latest android update.
Ive got a similar issue on a Galaxy S8, play store crashes every time I try turning it on unless I clear its cache, then its working as long as its stored in memory. Does anyone know any fix?

I cannot give you a direct answer to your question.
However consider this.?
On my previous devices, think it was Note 3 or Note 4
i had similar issues with Play store.
Trying to install apps but failing.
or Play store "crashing /stop working etc
Eventually i found that the app store crashes
was actually related to Play Services app which is " "linked " Play Store app.
Somehow i had wrong version of Play Services
installed or it somehow got corrupted.
So its just not the Play Store app but other
apps "linked" to it. eg Play Services.
End result
I decided just to do a factory reset
as i was to confused/annoyed
with whole issue, and did not know how to solve it.

My daughter started using a Pixel the other day and couldn't install Instagram. It wouldn't show up in Google Play. The phone is standard issue non-rooted running 8.1 with the latest security update. I showed her how to side load from apkmirror and the app seems to run just fine. Then checked Google Play from a browser and sure enough the Google Pixel is listed as not compatible. Has anyone else run into this issue? I sent feedback to Instagram, but there doesn't appear to be a direct support channel for end-users.
It's probably just an error on the site, I downloaded it straight from the Play Store without issues. I actually haven't come across an app that isn't supported.
If the problem persists, I'd recommend deleting cache and data for the Play Store and try again.

Found some similar comments to my problem on Reddit and it appears to be a problem on the Google Play back-end, not on the device. Most likely, Instagram mistakenly tagged the phone and blacklisted it. My screenshot shows the desktop web view, and it's clearly marked as not compatible. I don't think clearing cache/data on the device would change that web view of it not being compatible. On Reddit, someone who had it installed, deleted the app and ran into this same problem upon trying to reinstall. They also had to side-load. Luckily we can still side-load.
@Bluntified You were right. Clearing cache and data solved the issue. Thank you
