Every time I click on google play I get a grey bar at the top of the Play Store Home page without the 3 line menu option on the top left and a No Connection error or connection time out. Searching the Internet for these yielded options from messing with date/Time to a factory set. I have done all of these things, but I did find 2 work arounds. This is where things get weird. Please let me know if there is a perma fix.

1) Wait for an update notification:
When I get a notification that an app need to be updated and I click on it the Play stores opens and works normally. I get the green header and 3 line menu option on the top left with google play normally.

2) Here is the work around I have to use:
Open the Play Store from the app menu
Click the search and type anything
Click on see all apps
You should see the green header and 3 line menu option on the top left with google play normally.

What's in this version:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to them were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
Mod version features:
Unlimited access to apps in Google Play Store
Removed countries restriction in Google Play Store
Fixed the issue which your device is not compatible with this item in Google Play

I don't know and I find it weird. If you don't want an extra app in the appdrawer, install the older version, which you can find here.

It will be visible in the camera app only.
i repair the software with sony companion and now can install the app, for me its visible from appdrawer, i have kitkat

I installed it from Google play and it was a success! Thq!
Its unfortunate how unwell it is done.. :/ It barely manages to focus properly, 70% of times it says cant defocus an the rest of times when it works, it hs all these areas that it left out and didnt blur... :/
I'm trying to get the best out of the Google Play Store and I'm looking for an advanced search but I can't find anything.
Usually when I'm looking for an app I'm not interested in games, book and whatever. Often I look straight for paid apps, but I can't see how to filter results. I can't see a way to sort results upon rates, price or last update date.
I even noticed that it's almost impossible to list ALL the apps made by Google: if I go to "more from developer" I can't see the Google Calendar app (I'm sure, checked twice, it's not in the list).
Am I missing something?
Isn't there a way to get an advanced search in which I can set strict conditions? (It doesn't matter if I have to use the computer or just android to perform an advanced search)
I'm kind of astonished ...
What? I can actually easily search google calendar 0_0 seems weird

Talking about the paid apps you can actually do it just go to shop apps then slide between top paid, free , grossing and you can also choose in category
And also make sure your play store is up to date...

I can look for "google calendar". My complain is the fact that if you filter the official apps made by Google than Google Calendar is not listed.

yes but how can you select multiple categories and add additional conditions to your search? For instance "I want to get all the free (or paid) apps about notification that have nothing to do with games" (it's just an example)
How can you run such a search?
And also make sure your play store is up to date...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is and anyway whatever I say is true also for the website version
There is now an advanced search engine for Google Play available as an app, see here
This is my beta version, pls sugest herer to me can make it better for XDA users

You can not be download app from Play Store because "Device not compatible" or "Your country does not support this application" or Play Store is limited in your contry, or slow/error network. These are fairly common problem, so applications "Apk Downloader for Android" was written to solve this. The application will allow us to download the APK file of any application on the Play Store for free without google account, or find apk file links.
How to use:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Search app you want to download on the Play Store. Here, I get examples like Facebook Home, an app does not support installation if we're in some countries
Facebook link on the Play Store Home would look as follows: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.home. You extract the rear part of the equation, is "com.facebook.home"
Open app "Apk Downloader for Android" enter "com.facebook.home" into the field in the middle of the application in the "DOWNLOAD"
Press the button "Download"
After download is successful, app will ask you if you want to install!
If you can not find the package code name (exam: com.facebook.home above), you can switch to "SEARCH" tab and click on results, app will automatically get package-name.
Note:
Programmer limiting your download is due to many different issues and their management, such as the app does not run well on your phone, or does not support the data collection for the country you're in . So the APK files may not work well completely.
Applications can only be applied to the free app, so you do not think of illegal downloading of copyrighted software for Android.
Advantage :
No mandatory login gmail account or other accounts.
Disadvantages
APK files downloaded from google play slightly slower
There are many so-download APK files from google play his other but personally this is the simplest way, no frills. File download speed depends on your home network.
Good luck!
Where to find this app?
