Hi all,
running ICS on my sensation, just bought a few app today, no issues, just downloaded and installed nicely. No, i did a factory reset and installed a update for the ICS rom, and now i'm only seeing half of my paid apps under my apps in the market.
Can't search for them either. Paying for apps, and then not be able to redownload them... any advice on this ?
Presumably the missing half of your apps are flagged as incompatible with your newly flashed ROM software and are being suppressed from display.
Can someone please solve this problem as it has been giving lots of grief over several years . There have been lots of tries that present work-about's to solve the problem .--- Installing programs , removing app data , removing cashe data, Stopping google services and Google Play . I have tried lots with some success but recently it has got worse and tried and tested ones now fail to work any more .
I suspect that the information that the installer looks at is not being updated when apps are removed etc . My system suggests there is 200Mb free . This problem does not appear to be confined to any version of Android or Hardware . The only common factor is loading and updating apps via Google Play
I hope someone with a better understanding of the Android operating system can locate the problem so a proper solution can be found

I honestly have not seen that issue in years. Ever sense they started making phones with 8 16 and 32gb internal storages

If you have not talked to me and your interested pm me.
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.

Cleared Google Play Services data -- didn't help.
Cleared Google Play Store data -- didn't help.
Tried to remove my Google account -- says "This change isn't allowed by your administrator"!?

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.
Hi,
This is my first post here. I have an old Samsung Gio (GT-S5660) in good condition hardware-wise. I did a factory reset recently, and since then I can't use Google Play (still called Market then) because it complains about server issues. I can't use the built-in Samsung software update tool for the same reason (connection to server fails), and I can't install Google Play from an sdk either ("Problem parsing the package"). I suppose all this is because all services are no longer backward-compatible with the factory apps on my phone.
So I'm stuck with a phone which "works" perfectly, but on which I can't install any recent app. I'd like to keep this phone for several reasons (but mostly because throwing away a device that still works makes me furious).
Is there any hope of making it functional again with a ROM, or do you think it's too old ? If yes, please propose a safe place where I could get a suiting ROM.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
The latest update to Chrome (webview) on March 6th breaks the HTC Mail app. It will FC or crash when trying to reply or compose. The app's reviews are taking a beating in the app store over it because folks are not associating it to the Chrome update but rather think HTC broke it somehow. To fix - roll back (Uninstall) Chrome. I hope this helps a few folks.
Wow, so i just freeze it and switch to LOS email app thinking Leedroid has a bug somehow...
Umm yeah, reported like a week ago

Hmm .... so I hope that Google will quickly repair ..... I also thought it was a bug in the HTC Mail app, so I was bug report by HTC .....
Thank you! Was going crazy not being able to respond to emails on my phone during an exceptionally busy week.
I don't use HTC's Mail app, but I read that the latest version of Chrome has fixed the crashing issue.
Well, I finally solved it by installing the BlueMail app. It's a lot better than HTC Mail and it's completely free and free of ads ... Just a shame that the HTC Mail app does not go off without the root (U11 is the first phone I did not root after many years)
Today an update has been released and it's working ... but I stay with BlueMail, it's better ...

The update has solved the problems, for me is was Android System Webview that caused the problems (i do not use Chrome). Rolled back on the updates on that and everything was ok again.
Now with the HTCMail update it's also working with updated Android System Webview
