HY,I have android l and the latest chrome apk downloaded from play store.In earlier versions i could find the settings menu in the right corner of the screen,now its gone,I cant even share a web page...Never had this problem before,did I miss something ?
Sometimes it happened during updating app but don't worry just make a backup of this app you may use es explorer for backup app. Remove the app from phone and install the app again by simply opened recent back file which done by you before uninstall

Hello
I have jus upgraded my Nexus S to ICS OTA (manually) and cannot install application that I own. It cannot be found in phone's market and on the page in my desktop computer it says that this app is incomatible with my Samsung Nexus S. Can sth. be done? I have bought this app, this is crazy that I cannot use it!
When i updated to ICS i couldn't find ES File Explorer in market, no idea why not. However from memory i fixed it just by googling the name and clicking on the market link, then opening it with the market app (option pops up). Alternatively, the market now has a sync feature, click install on your computer browser and it will "send" it to your phone (ie. download it from market automatically).

That's not Google's fault. The developer of your app restricted it based on android version number. Complain to the app developer.
App author needs to update version and possibly updates it for ICS compatibility. Not ICS fault. Here's a workaround: if you have another Android device that can install the app from the Market, extract the app apk using Astro (app backup), copy the apk to your phone's sdcard, and manually install it.

Not app's fault
I had this happen with a bunch of apps on my Optimus V and I really don't think it's the devs' fault. I was looking through Tripit's androidmanifest.xml file and there are no device restrictions (besides SDK minimum of 3). Also when I try to install them manually, I just get "application not installed". It's driving me batty, I might have to downgrade.
So it seems that i have gotten myself in a little situation with my Samsung Galaxy Rugby GT-S5690M. At first i rooted the phone then installed various software. During all this i deleted the google play app and the file manager that came with the phone. Instead i used the astro file manager. Eventually when i wanted to install the google play app again it kept crashing and not launching. This led me to reset the phone to factory defaults. Consequently, this deleted astro meaning that i have no way to open files on my phone and cannot download any files using google play because that is not installed either. As a result i need a file manager to try to install google play and would like to know if anyone has any solutions to this problem.
I accidentally deleted the android market app.
First the app flashes on and off, so I try to delete the whole thing, but now I can't install it back. I tried different vending.apk, I got the install progress bar, but at the end I got the error that the app isn't installed.
I also find it strange that (before i install the .apk) i got the notice that this .apk will change the current installed app. It's quite strange because in the app list I can't find the market app.
Can anyone help me with this?
I got sony ericsson Xperia X10 mini, rooted, version 2.1.
Using root explorer/es file explorer go into root directory system/apps and see if the market.apk is located there , try deleting it if present and restart the phone.Then install the vending apk and hopefully it should be a fresh install and not over writing the previous market installed.Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Never mind. After I rebooted the A700, I was able to download them. Strange things happen at times!!!
I am trying to download FireFox from the PlayStore and it says that FireFox is already installed. I cannot find the FireFox app for the life of me. I have searched in APPS, Settings (Downloaded/Running etc.) and it does not show up. I have the same problem with ES File Explorer. To my knowledge I have not previously downloaded them so I don't understand why the store would show them as installed and I cannot find them.
Obviously I would like to either find them and put them on my main screen or delete them and re-download them again.
Thanks for any input.
For some reason, on my Nexus 5 (also it seems on KitKat in general because I had this issue on a buddies Nexus 4) it seems that when I download an APK file (or if I try to click a link to install an app from Aptoide via Chrome) the downloaded file does not work right. For Aptoide files pops up a notification that says it can not open that type of file. For APK's, it oddly enough initiates a popup for Nova launcher to restore settings from another launcher to Nova. Please, do not suggest that I uninstall Nova.. that may possibly solve the symptom of opening up Nova when I click an APK but doesn't solve the problem. With Nova uninstalled, it just says 'can not open file' like the Aptoide files.
FYI Aptoide files, pre-KitKat on my old Nexus 4, would open up Aptoide and install the app I clicked on in the browser as it is designed. Obviously, APK files would bring up the built-in installer.
Suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?

I'm having the same Nova/APK issue - on my GS3 (d2att) running CM 10.2 if I download an APK file then tap to open it from the notification bar or the Downloads app, it brings up the same Nova message you are getting. However, if I open the file from within the File Manager app it loads correctly. Very strange - wish I knew how to correct this without removing Nova...
Bump... Anyone?

Same problem here. "Solved" it by installing the apk thru root browser. Still not sure why it's behaving like this..

The application in question, is used basically like a client server app, similar to torrents. Unfortunately, although it can be used for good purposes, it also allows paid apps to be distributed, thus constituting "warez", which of course is against XDA rules.
