Strange Google Play Issue - HTC Desire S

For some reason I cannot download the RBS official banking app, I had it working earlier today but I had to wipe my phone because I downloaded an app that put it into a bootloop.
After the wipe I managed to restore everything but the RBS app so I tried to get it from Google Play but it says that my Desire S is incompatible with the app.
Any ideas?

It;s probably because it's not available in your country, try Market Enabler, it's a useful app. Google search for a download link

I had it before but now it's not available and it's really annoying.

[Q] Anyone lose Market with Google Play update?

Anyone else have the issue where Market is gone after "Google Play" update? I found the apk and pushed it with adb but still, it's a little odd. Not really running anything "Custom" just some mods to the stock 2.3.6.

Market was simply replaced by Google Play. Just go through your apps and you'll see Google Play, that's the new Market.
Market is called Google Play now . It should be in the app launcher.

Works fine here.

Yup, your old App Market icon will show not working, then will disappear upon reboot. New icon says Play Store.
I understand all of that and expected it, but what I am saying is there is no Play Store, no GooglePlayStore.apk, nor Google Play anywhere on the device. Pushing the apk resulted in no change, restoring /system.
Update:
Something must have just got borked in the OTA upgrade, I after restoring /system I forced the upgrade and we are good to go.
Yes, it is called "Play Store" now. weird name, i feel it doesn't appeal to a bigger audience.
I'm stock and mine still shows the Market. Doesn't show Google Play in the app drawer yet.
Go to application and clear data in market and then go back to market

Cleared data, went back to market, clicked Accept when the Google Play notification came up, and it took me into the market. Restarted the phone and it still shows up as "Market" in the app list and no icon for "Play Store" shows up.
Would it matter that I'm using Zeam Launcher?
Clear zeam cache or data. You will lose your customizations but it should show up

Can I just switch back to Touch Wiz launcher and do it there, and then after it is done, move back to Zeam?
Edit: Tried clearing market data from inside TW and then selecting market. Still gave me the Google Play disclosure, which I accepted, and then it still loaded the Market. Still doesn't show Google Play in the App Drawer, still shows Market, and Market still works.
I guess it doesn't matter all that much what it is called as long as I can access the market?
Same here, it's still Market for me even after I accepted the terms of Google Play.
If were running full custom, I'm assuming we don't need to change it or are they disabling the Market app entirely for this
Yes i did i downloaded it again from 4shared

Yeap same thing here, running NexusMod 4 and still showing old Market but it still works. I accept the new Google Play prompt, but its still called Market. Hope they dont disable this soon and then I got no Market or Google Play.

A few days ago I was running Silver rom. That's when my market icon was replaced with the Play icon. Flashed Red Sonja and now stock, both of which have the market icon back. Weird.

Google Play Store App not working in my new Nexus

Hello All,
It might seems funny, but I am struggling with my first ever android (Samsung Nexus) that i bought 4 days back (In Netherlands, Simlock free, without any contract) but I am unable to launch even Google Play Store App on it.
I don't have any default store app ,so i tried to install multiple version of Google Play App, so that I can access and download apps, but every time when I pressed the icon it blink for a moment and then nothing happens. I tried to clear data, restarted cell multiple times, but no luck. Please help how can I access Google play app or android market to download app.
i am stuck with it for a long time now. Request all experts to help me so that I can fully utilized my new nexus.
Have you tried uninstalling and re installing Play Store?

Yes, I tried multiple version of Google Play Store App and also clear the data from Setting-->Apps section..still not able to solve it.
Which version of Android are you running and are you rooted?
Sent from my Crespo using xda premium
Reinstall Android 4.0.3. There is a thread out here with the link to the full signed rom. You can install it from stock recovery
In my ABOUT PHONE : full maguro 4.0.1 icl23d 288 test keys
I believe that is a test build and not a regular unit for retail customer so It's not equipped with Google apps.
Anyways, I am going to store to get either new unit or any fix for the same, but if anyone here already faced this kind of issue and can provide me any guidance, it will be good help.
You re in the wrong thread... try galaxy nexus forum. This is nexus s.

Looks like its unable to load. Are you using a firewall on your phone? If so grant access to the play store then try again.

The app is not region locked (as far as I know). I'm not sure why it isn't loading for you. Remove the update, wipe data from the play store, play services, and download manager. Reboot, reinstall, try again.
That's really all I can think of.

Play Store throwing *DF-PFA-02* error can't retrieve information from server

after ****ing around with a google wallet exploit for my S3 which I probably shouldn't have done (build.prop modding?)...the google play store home page throws a dreadful error of "error retrieving information from server DF-PFA-02" I cleared the app cache for the play store, google services framework, tried to remove my card on google wallet, re flash, wipe everything. Still throws this error. And this error code is not very known either, so my searching in google was cut short...especially the "DF-PFA-02" error
it works if i downgrade the play store to the android market, AND it works if I use my other google account. AND the new 4.0 "phonesky" apk play store homepage works
due to certain reasons, I would like to keep my old play store version, before the 4.0 overhaul
I can download apps and apparently update them..I just can't openly browse anymore D:
i'm pretty witty when it comes to android hacking and modding and troubleshooting..but i'm at my wits end here unfortunately....you guys are my only hope
Thanks

I am getting the same error on the AT&T S4. I have no idea why this is happening but it's really annoying.

Also getting the same error on the AT&T S4. Just started happening now. Of course it happens right as I'm trying to download Tapatalk to peruse xda.
Seems common for some reason. Happening to me as well on the Verizon S3.

Install the newest version and it fixes it.
Because the old version is exploitable with in-app purchases, so Google is forcing you to get the new one, so its not just happening to me.
But my other Google account works fine with it?..

I'm also getting the same error. What did you do to fix it, install the new play store?

Thanx for pointing out the obvious and I take some blame for that.
Yes, I read the last two post before posting but I can see how I didn't make that clear when I asked the question.
I meant to ask: did you install the new playstore (which still isn't available to the public via an update) to fix the problem OR did you find a solution to fixing the current version?

Ahh okay. Can't speak for Stan, but I just installed the new play store. Quick download from that link and install like any other app. Reboot for fun. Fixed.

I used my other Google account and the original 3.0 play store works fine, no luck though getting it to work for my main Google account
Installing the new 4.0 play store also fixes the issue, but I don't want it

Say no to Play Store updates?

Hello, is there a way in which I can "really" say no to updates in Google Play Store? In fact, I have an app (Poweramp) that I wish to use it in a specific version without updating it regularly. Therefore, I decide to detach it from Play Store in Titanium Backup. However, when I go to Play Store, when I search Poweramp, I can still see that there is an option in which I can update it. So, I can not see that how the detach from Play Store (market) option made the change. Am I doing anything wrong or does it have an alternative way to do it? Thanks. Mmm.. I should update my Titanium Backup app since it has been a while that I am using it and way before the Play Store 4.0 was launched...
You can turn auto-update off, so you can choose which apps to update
