[Q] App installation Issues - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently purchased a TF300T. From the factory reset, I am able to download and install new apps. After a few days of usage, I realized I could no longer install apps. I followed the instructions for Google Play regarding this issue, however nothing seemed to do the trick. I did a reset again this morning and I have not updated the suggested apps - gmail, google music, etc. But I have installed my collection of apps including the new ones. Could this issue be related to an update for gmail or another app? I can not remember when the issue arose or when I updated the app.
Even though this issue is a pain, it has given me a chance to learn more about the tablet as this is my first android tablet.

What was the error message when you couldn't install?

[Q] Apps missing from 'My Apps' in Play Store

Hi there,
First I'd just like to say that I've tried every solution and guide I could find in the last hour or so. I'm running a Telstra HTC One XL with the latest ViperXL ROM, and the Bulletproof kernel.
My issue is this: I recently completely wiped the ROM and all data/settings etc. Before doing so, I backed up just a few apps that I wanted with Titanium Backup. After I was setup again, I restored the apps, but I can't get them to be detected in the Play Store. I've tried Market Fixer, Titanium's Market Doctor, clearing data+cache for the store and google services framework and rebooting, installing the apparent newest leaked version of the Play Store from here on the forums. Frankly I think I've only made the issue worse - the only app Titanium detects as being installed now is the Play Store. The My Apps section in the play store only shows apps that I've installed since reinstalling the rom.
I should mention that I made a new google account recently - some or all of the apps I'm not seeing may have been installed/last updated under the old account. I haven't touched that old account since the new installation. It occurs to me that I could probably just uninstall and reinstall most of my apps, but that would defeat the purpose of backing up.. I'd lose the associated data/settings/files.
Appreciate any help.
Tl;dr: Are there any other ways than Titanium's Market Doctor to link apps restored from a backup, with the market, when they haven't necessarily been associated with the current Google account previously?
*Btw, the old account no longer exists.

[Q] No Connection (retry) with google play

I've been reading threads on this problem, have done everything I could find to try (including factory reset, reinstall 4.1.2 stock, install cm 10.2.1 and upgraded to 4.3 stock).
I cannot get google play to work. It fails immediately with No Connection (Retry). Occasionally, I get "Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped".
I've checked date/time, repartitioned with the PIT file, tried various ROMs, enabled/disabled download manager, google play, GSF, deleted my google account, tried creating a completely new account, wiped all my application data, installed/uninstalled various gapps versions, tried Market Enabler, proxying, deleting /etc/hosts, mounting /system as r/w. I've watched all the "100% guaranteed fix!" videos and searched for threads here, reddit, and other places.
I'm at the point now where reading a new or existing thread can take hours and produce no new insight, so I'm posting a completely new one.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I can get almost everything I need via apk, or amazon and samsung app stores. What have I not tried? What could be persisting over several different ROM installs, repartitioning, re-stocking and upgrading to 4.3. I swrz I've had it stripped down to the metal, almost, and it still won't work. It makes me wonder if somehow my IMEI or MAC address is blacklisted or something. Oh, yeah, I've got a new GSF id each time I reprovisioned, so it's not a blocked GSF id. I'd like to get my old gsf ID back, but to do that I need Titanium pro -- which I need google play to re-download my paid copy
Um... google maps works, gmail works, google play magazines and samsung hub work (until I try to download something, and it goes to google play). I've turned off two-step verification on google+ settings too.

I am assuming when you factory reset you didn't delete the actual app "data" which would have fixed the problem, or you have a sync or backup replacing the problematic data. Luckily all you have to do which should fix it is to go into application manager and clear all data related to the Google Play/Google Play services apps. (Cache, updates, etc) You may have to do the same to the Youtube app because for the STRANGEST REASON beyond my comprehension that was causing some sign in problems for the Play Store...
Once that's taken care of, try to sign in and download an app.
Hope this works for you!

[Q] Google Components for Gingerbread 2.3.4

Hi everyone, I was wanting to know what all the different components of Google are on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (LG Enlighten vs700 phone). I ask because Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps prompting me, "Sorry! The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close is the only option when i get this message, and it does reappear.
I have spent weeks on this - there are hundreds maybe even thousands of forums out there all devoted to this error. Seems like a huge volume of phones experience this error. There are a few fixes, but it only seems to work for a handful of people who have this problem.
What have I tried?
Factory reset (several times)
Reinstalling google play store, services, and market with the latest or a different version than what's on there now
youtube fix - I even reinstalled youtube
at this point, i did another factory reset last night just to start over with a clean slate - youtube works wonderfully. i have email on it. as a work around i use the amazon app store and 1 market store for apps, but it's a real bother with no google play and constantly getting the errors.
the strange part is i have a second identical phone (which is my experimental phone) - which does NOT get this error. I have no idea why one does, and the other doesn't.
the reason i was wondering about the components and versioning is as a last attempt to fix this (before i just live with it) - i was going to reinstall ALL the components google uses for the playstore to work, manually. i don't necessarily want to install the latest - i want to install the version specific to gingerbread 2.3.4. i have looked and looked online but i haven't been able to find any kind of component list (much to my surprise) the two components i have figured out are:
google play services 4.3.24 (android 2.3+)
google play 3.5.15 (android 2.3+)

504 Errors

Lately, 504 errors in the Google Play Store have eliminated my ability to recommend this phone. None of the usual fixes work.
Apps that I've had the problem with are:
Evernote
Runtastic Me (after a recent update)
Waze (version 4)
Maybe it is something the app developers are doing that doesn't work with the hardware, but I'm afraid of what the next app may be that I'm stuck unable to update.
Update: this has been resolved by the latest update from Gionee/BLU
Is it Google Play Store causing the problems (installing/updating apps) or is it the apps you mentioned (crashing, etc.)?
Have you started getting them all of a sudden out of nowhere? I've started to have Google Play Services issues with Google Play Music, but that was after fixing permissions in TWRP.
Maybe something you've done recently caused it (installation, file corruption, root/xposed modding) if TWRP is not the cause.
I'll assume you've already tried to clear app data & caches, and maybe uninstalling/reinstalling them. If nothing else works, you can always resort to a factory reset of the phone if you are willing to give up everything.
I've done everything short of a factory reset. I read where another user had the issue with evernote, so I specifically tried installing evernote to test.
I haven't rooted or used a custom recovery with this phone.
I put this in general more for information purposes and to maybe compile a list of apps others run into this with, but if anyone's fixed it, I'd appreciate knowing what they had to do.
Will try APK or Amazon for offending apps soon.
No luck with Amazon, either, so it isn't a play store issue
Got the same 504 error when installing Waze 4.0.

Even manually installing the Waze 4.0 apk gives a generic "App not installed" error. Perhaps there's an incompatibility with this phone.

I think I've had the same problem before when installing a different (free) app. What I did was Google for an older version of the .apk file, then kept trying to install it to my phone until I found an old enough version that is willing to be installed. I was able to update to the latest version automatically without any problems after that.
Hope that helps!
Looks like Runtastic Pro 6.7 is getting added to the list. It may be some API that developers are using that isn't compiling properly on this phone... I hope it gets fixed
Reply from BLU support is that it is a known issue and an update is in the works.
I heard that something happened during the updates (like for Waze) that is causing issues for people with Mediatek CPU's, it does not seem to be intentional though as a fix seems to be in the works.
You can add app "omnivox" with the same error. Right for me it's omnivox and waze.
There was a recent gionee e8 update that hopefully resolves this and will (also hopefully) be ported to us soon.
Glad they're looking into it but this is really disappointing. Makes me want to finally break down and just get an S7 on T-Mo's payment plan.
Got the same problem here.
Hi guys, i just got the BLU pure XL and happen to me the same thing with waze, plus another app MapaRadar. They both cant install trough Play Store. I try installing old versions (waze 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 ..) only one time works. and then suddenly stopped. and it closes itself every time.
Update got the same 504 error.
I got another problem that after starting using play store to install other apps and update the existing ones (chrome, maps, framework..) the play store become unstable , closing itself most of the time. Since i have TWRP i manage to restore my original backup.
I did not update my apps on the play store. at least it stop to get play store app close itself.
If anyone like to share any alternative options until BLU team fix it.
Hi every body,
I have the Allview X2 xtreme the EU version of the Blu pure XL, and i have the same problem waze update return 504 error. Mine is TWRP and rooted.
I be able to install an older version of waze by apk, works fine for few days, now it's always looking for GPS signal....
Evernote too.
I have another problem with push notification who didnt work with 50% of m'y applications.
It works for :SMS, messenger, Facebook, snapchat but not for apps like instagram le monde, bfmtv, le parisien, le figaro...
I already perform hard reset.
Sorry for m'y English,
A french friend !
I justt flashed the gionee rom, mainly to see how it is for daily use, but also to check the IMEI corruption and mobile data issues (i experienced none of either) and on a whim I tried to install waze, and it installs fine (on the blu firmware I had previously had 504 error, as well had other apps just "app not installed")
so possibly gionee already had a fix for this?
Got an update this morning, and the problem seems to be fixed. Only about a week behind gionee, so not bad.

Android 12 update, amazon appstore, hearthstone

Hello dear community,
I updated my LG G8S to Android 12 yesterday. After the update, an app (Hearthstone) that I installed via the Amazon Store was no longer available (the icon on the desktop was grayed out, it is no longer listed under the installed apps in the system menu). If I now go to the Amazon Store and open the app there, it offers me to install the app. If I press it, it first downloads the app, but then doesn't install it. I guess because he notices during the installation that the data from the app is still there. In the Amazon Store, he then changes from "install" to "update". I press on it, download again, then nothing. Probably because he notices that the update is somehow already there. Then it changes from "update" to "open". If I then want to open the app, it doesn't work, probably because Android doesn't know anything about the installation. Then the Amazon store jumps back to "install".
Hearthstone can no longer be installed via the Google Playstore, because Google probably also checks that something is still there.
Presumably the solution is simply to unload the rest of the app. But since Android doesn't have the app on the screen, it doesn't work with it. So I would have to do it manually somehow, but I'm afraid that I'll miss something if I just delete a few folders. Can you enlighten me on the best way to do this?
I installed the SD Maid app. This actually recognizes an app called "com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone". When I try to uninstall the app with SD Maid I get the message "The app was not found in the list of installed apps." The app still remains in SD Maid's list.
thanks in advance
Alex
Run SD Maid Pro edition to remove orphaned files and invalid file entries.
If you aren't on an Amazon device download Hearthstone app ( 24.6.154818 update ) from APKPURE.
Both didn't help. When I try to install fron apk Android shows an error, that it is conflict with an existing package.
Do a Factory Reset, but before backup your tablet.

I created an account here as this has to be the worst recommendation ever, doing a factory reset because one app won't install :/
as for the OPs original question, I ended up here as I have the same problem and I too thought there was something wrong with my installation on my device, tried all kinds of cleanup and nothing worked
and stupid me only then thought to check the blizzard forums.... if you look in the known issues post, they are aware there is a problem with the installation from amazon appstore and are working on a fix

I've been to the blizzard forum of course. There has been an issue, that they told has been solved already, when my problem was still there. So I thought, thats not for me. But yes they posted, that it's solved on saturday and surprisingly it was indeed.
