Hello all! I've just bought an Alldro Speed tablet and, as I noticed, Google Play is not familiar with this tab. I want to install apps that are not "compatible" with this tab. The manufacturer which made my tab is Broncho and the model is A710. What is the most appropiate brand and model to mine with which Google Play is familiar with? I tried Galaxy Tab 7 Plus P6200 which, I tought it's the most appropriate. I followed the ES File Explorer tutorial and, after I enter the Play app, nothing changed. When checking my account, it's not in the list. Is there a way to update the device info in my account or have I missed a step? Please help!
Notice
After editing the build.prop, only the manufacturer changes. The model is still the same somewhere. The model number concerns me the most. Can it be edited in build.prop or is there something different?

I am on a Galaxy Note i717R (Rogers variant) and I am running the OnlyOne Update 3.5 ROM. Since rooting and ROM'ing my device it is no longer able to see and download the tablet specific apps that I used to be able to. Specifically, my Swiftkey X Tablet keyboard is no longer visible in the Play Store.
When I run this app in landscape mode it no longer shows the keyboard. I strongly suspect it's because this ROM has many elements taken from the GS3 including whatever unique Device ID that the Play Store uses to filter its app list.
Are my suspicions true? If so, how does one change this ID so that I can re-install my tablet specific applications?
Many thanks for your help!
[Q] "This item is not compatible with your device" on google play. Any work-arounds?
Hey there. So i've wanted to buy Grand Theft Auto for my HTC EVO V for a while now but its not available on the play store. I get a "This item is not compatible with your device" on the website. So I rooted my phone and followed a guide that should have let fixed the problem. It had me edit the build.prop. I would post the guide, but the site won't let me. Modifying the build.prop seems to do nothing. Anyone know how to get around the "This item is not compatable" message so I can download it?
Thanks.
i have same prob
if dats apps available for free then u can find its apk on some cloud storage n download it n test ur luck wheather it runs on ur set or not (generally it does not work for me)
anyway can u give me the link to the guide were u learnt how to edit build.prop
Just get a build.prop editor from the play store or edit it manually. That's pretty much a one-step guide. I wouldn't mess with it unless you really know what you're doing.
@OP, it can take time for Play to recognise a change. It took it like, a day, for it to back to seeing my phone as the correct model after I had to edit the build.prop to install the Google Wallet hack.

even if we edit build.prop and make google play recognize it its still upto the device configuration to be able to make the app run isnt it

This is the guide I used. I did everything it said, and it doesn't seem to change anything.
Anyone have any ideas?
based on my experience,, when google says its not available for the device, it will not be even if you successfully downloaded the file on a different
way, i think.
Hi.
I'm running the latest cm10.1 nightly (120110).
In the google play store it says my phone model is "Telenor Samsung Nexus S" (Telenor is my carrier).
It also says that many apps aren't compatible with my phone.
I've looked around in the build.prop but can't find anything with my carrier there.
Anyone got a tip how I can change this and be able to download these apps?
Regards Robin Hansson

Has nothing to do with your carrier prefixing your model. Mine says my carrier too, and everything is compatible, doesn't change the "real" model from Nexus S.
Most incompatibilities are related either to DPI (did you change yours?), changing the model and brand in build.prop, which I imagine you didn't do, or your country of origin.
Mine says that too but it installs most of the apps from play store (all the compatible apps) .. maybe u r trying to install apps that arent compatible with the Nexus S
Hi friends,
I am an American working in China right now and bought a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 (GT-N8000). It came with Chinese firmware, which means China strikes back by not having he google play store come standard in the software. This left me with the piddly Samsung apps store. I decided to root it using the clockwork recovery method. Rooting went fine. googleservicesframework.apk and vending.apk both installed correctly. (I have also similarly added the play store to my wife's kindle fire without issue.)
However, whenever I try to set up my account with the google play store, you get that error message that says something like, "couldn't make a reliable data connection with the google play store". I've tried every fix I've found on forums and youtube (but with android 4.1.2 you can't try the method that sends you to the accounts and sync page as there is none.) I also tried the editor fix with the hosts file located in the ETC folder of the parent directory of the firmware. What I noticed when I was directed there was that the second line where they want me to add the "#" before the IP address, is that there was NO IP address there. There was only the "127.0.0.1 localhost" on line 1 and nothing else.
The signing in with the youtube app trick cant workeither as CHina also banned youtube and the app is not native to the firmware.
Any idea how I could fix this??
So I just noticed recently that a new device has shown up in my Android Device Manager. It is a Samsung SM-G900F, which apparently is a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (it says T-Mobile in the web version of the Play Store). I only know two people with S5s and they're both on Verizon. I'm concerned someone has gained access to my Google account, so I'm hoping to gain some more information. The device cannot be found in ADM, likely because the app is not installed and set up, but I have access to the device in the web version of the Play Store, so I can install apps to it. So here's my question - are there any device location apps I can install to the phone to help me determine where this device is? I don't really want to confront anybody, but this would give me an indication of whether this could be someone I know. Is there a different method you could recommend to gain any other insight into where this mystery device came from or how it came to be associated with my account?
