Seems that there is an issue with playing movies I've purchased on Google.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try installing xposed and rootcloak. You must add the app into rootcloak once you got it setup. I dont have any issues with mine, but this might help.
Have you tried the root cloaker module in xposed? I'm not sure if it will work with Google but it works with the Isis app so it's a possibility.
Just tried rootcloaker with no luck.
Not a deal breaker, but just a little annoying
Does it get stuck loading one you've pressed play? That's what I'm experiencing.

I see the same thing guys. I do remember reading somewhere that unlocking a phone might remove the DRM installed. If that's the case an unlocked device would have trouble playing anything that is DRM protected which I'm sure Google movies are. It'll be interesting the see if this is the issue and if a fix can be found.

I don't know if that is true, as I am currently S-Offed, unlocked, rooted, have installed Rootcloak, and am having no issues with Google Play Movies.
EDIT: Keep in mind, I have never opened Google Play Movies until just now, so that may be it. Perhaps clearing the app's data/cache might reset it into thinking you don't have root?

Uninstalling the most recent update fixed it for me.
Get an error when trying to play. Uninstalling update lets me play the first 13 seconds only...wtf...

I am having the same issue with s off non-rooted. It says an error has occurred, touch to retry. Worked fine before s off.

I just noticed a Russian apparently that is installed on my phone and wants to update! And will not let me uninstall it... according to the comments this problem is just happening on sgsII devices. Can anyone else confirm this has happened to their phone, and how we can remove it and what is it?

It's MALWARE: DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Apparently it's a problem with Google Play, not this rom (stock roms are seeing it too).

that doesn't seem to work because as soon as Google play store updates again it comes right back.
Weird, I haven't seen it at all on my phone, but a lot of people have mentioned it here today...
I have it in my list of apps...

I tried the steps from the post... It didn't work for me. once the market updates to the play store it says I have an update for what ever this Russian app is! I reported it but I'd really like to know how to remove this from my device.

I did it again for good measure.. it was still there. I reported it. just checked a few minutes ago and it was gone from my updates. Checked my installed apps. It wasn't there (to be safe). I think Google knocked it out! Try reporting it as a security risk for data and see what happens in like 30 minutes.
(while its there I'd make sure auto update is off!)

i didn't get it until i updated to the ics and went back to gb
So either I don't know how to use the internet or I'm the only person with this problem (on an evo shift, of course).
Tried everything I found on every site (even on different phones).
"Device not compatible with this version" error on most apps. The apps don't even show up in the play store when I search them, I have to find a link to the store online, then I get the error.
Info:
Evo Shift
CM7.2 RC2
I'm looking for a solution before I end up wiping it in frustration.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
What version of the Play Store do you have? Have you tried installing a different verson of the Play Store. Had something similar happen with a themed version.
Try flashing the latest google apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311342
Play store version 3.5.19
But that was just after I tried flashing that new gapps, still nothing.
Can't find a different version of just the play store...care to throw me a link?
yeah i had this issue before on my bionic not sure why it does this but try flashing again wipe etc.. and see if it is the same issue or try uninstalling updates on applicatoins "play store" etc... sometimes that fixes the problem..
Well, wiping it and re-flashing CM is gonna be my last resort.
Ill try it tomorrow if all else fails.
Tried downgrading, and now the apps (like facebook, instagram) show up in the market, but they're still "not compatible".

Settings -> Manage applications -> Play store -> Clear data
Try to releaunch Play store.
Tried that, cleared data, cleared every cache possible, tried several different gapps .zips, my phones getting sick of it so my journey is nearing its close.
I'm thinking its something to do with the play store reading my device as something its not, but in the settings everything checks out. (htc_speedy, etc.)

Are you using any kind of market unlock software that would spoof your device from a different provider?

The android market was renamed / rebranded as the play store a while back

Is your LCD density stock? Changing lcd density often causes play store issues. If it is you can try using the market enabler app to get access to the market. If that doesn't help try editing your build prop to spoof your phone as a nexus s as that is probably the compatible with the most apps.

Sent from my HTC Speedy using xda premium
Yeah when I first started having this problem I saw the lcd density solution on an Evo Design forum, and I had just recently set my density to 210, so I figured that was it. Changed it back, NADA.
But I changed my info to that of a nexus S and everything is working now. Thank you!!

No problem! I ran into that when I was running newSense a while back (bad flash I believe) and didn't feel like redownloading and reflashing the rom so edited the buildprop
when you changed density back, did you reboot/ clear cache and dalvik then clear market data? If not, then that probably still could have been the issue.
Sent from my HTC Speedy using xda premium
Oh yeah I cleared every cache I could possibly clear before I did that. I tried everything. Never even knew you could change that type of info, but I did it with ROM Toolbox Pro.
Quick question, although it belongs in another section, how do you like newSense? I'm looking for something new after having CM for over a year.

Its probably the best rom on the shift. The best combination of speed and and stability. Although its probably not as fast as a pure aosp build, the difference is negligible. Drob, onelove and dread deserve major props. Its my go to rom when I'm on my college campus... as its the only place in detroit with 4G lol

Yea I've had the same problem. Some people are able to freeze it but I've tried on my last s3 and this replacement one. It'll freeze then as soon as I restart there defrosted. Its weird.
Tap'n
Same problem here, I even tried disabling them on another non rooted phone.
I can't imagine any problems from uninstalling them, but I just got used to freezing them on reboot or just leaving them alone.
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.
I just got a refurbished s3 from verizon..I forgot to save my titanium backups. And ever since I set up this phone I have not been able to download any if the apps that I paid for in the play store.it is giving me a message that says the app cannot be downloaded due to an error 403...I have looked around online and done all the steps I could find that have worked for other people having this issue.. ( wiped data, restored stock operating system as I was rooted, wiped data for play store app, uninstalled updates for play store, and I also removed my payment options from my Google wallet.) I even called Verizon and went through their troubleshooting and they transfered me to Google customer service. They were not able to resolve the issue either, and now I have been playing email tag with their advanced tech support team for about a week..they have not been able to help either.. If anyone else has had this issue and been able to resolve it I would really appreciate any help you could give me..

If you're having that much trouble with it I would push for another replacement since you literally just got it, could be an issue with the internal memory not being able to save data properly.
Who knows what the phones actually been through, or the kind of problems it had before you wound up with it.

Verizon won't replace it because they said it is an issue with the play store, and therefore must be handled by Google .. And the free apps install just fine.

Funny how it seems to load all the categories ok though but just will not let you search for an app
Seems ok also if you go to paid/free apps section select an app and you can download and install from there fine, just no search
Also seems a little slow to load anything to me also
