I needed to do something with warranty, so I got everything reverted back to factory settings.
However, the phone came with a very old version of the Android Market. It doesn't seem to want to update to Google Play Store. I launched it and downloaded a few apps through it yet it's still the very old version. Is the Play Store only for ICS (I was on that days ago).
Thanks!

Hi,
Do not worry about the age of apps.
These can be updated/downgraded quite legally.
So ,it does not matter which version is on your phone when you return it.
I have a brand new Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
When I touch the Netflix app icon(either on the home screen or apps menu),
it just takes me straight to the Google Play Store. The only option there
is "OPEN" and if I touch that, it takes me to the same page over and over.
Since the Netflix app came pre-installed with the tablet, I can't uninstall/
reinstall it....
All other apps(either pre-installed or downloaded) work just fine.
Any ideas on why it's doing that?
Thanks for your help!
You could root it..
Did you clear its data?
Did you uninstall updates for Netflix?
Go to applications in settings and click on the Netflix application. Click uninstall updates and clear data. Try again.
I as well just got my self a galaxy tab2 and applied the update that was available last night. Playing more with the tab today i am having the exact same problem with Netflix. When opening netflix it goes to the play store instead of the opening the app. Like the OP since this is a pre-installed app we cant uninstall and there is no update available. Does anyone have a solution to this, its my wife's tab and she doesn't want me to mess with it but I'm already considering doing that. (also will help with de-bloating it)

I solved this by returning to factory default. (which wiped everything and
started from scratch) After that, Netflix works perfectly!
Back up everything before doing a factory reset, of course.
Hi,
Yesterday my Nexus S kept getting errors when downloading app updates, and after a bit of Googling, I deleted the Play App cache, uninstalled the latest 3.9.1.6 updated and removed my Google Account from the device.
When I re-added my Google account to the phone, the app updates worked fine, but now my device no longer appears in the Play Store menus (on the web!). How can I get it back there again please?
Thanks,
Suman
try to click my orders and setting then add ur device name..

Hmm, it randomly appeared again - since I got the 4.1.2 OTA update perhaps?!
Strange!
Basically I have backups for about 130 different apps, games, etc. After I setup my ROM (Mahdi latest update) I used titanium backup pro to batch restore the apps. Just the apps, no data. So I was trying out xposed framework and saw instagram downloader. I thought it sounded cool so I set it up and installed it. I tried testing it by logging into instagram and trying to save a photo. Instagram crashed (fc) right off the bat. So I went back to the module page and saw the latest update was to make it compatible with instagram v5.1.4. So I went to play store and saw the version of the latest instagram version... 5.1.4. Here's the weird part. It only had 2 options. Open and uninstall, which led me to believe it was up to date. So I went to settings/apps/ instagram and I was running version 5.0.8. Back to play store and still no option to update. I had to uninstall it and install it back again to get the correct version.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Currently going through all of my user applications and manually matching the app info version with play store version to see if any more are facing the same issue. This is my first issue using titanium on the phone so far (that I know about)
Similar to this today?

I'd say not really. That seems to be a sync issue. Just didn't recognize the purchase on the phone. Thanks for your reply, but I'll try to explain a little better.
Normally when you have an outdated app installed that is on the play store, if you visit that apps page on the play store you will (normally) see 2 options. Update or uninstall if I'm not mistaken. Or open and update. One of the 2. My issue is that after restoring instagram from titanium backup, the play store saw it as up to date. There was no option anywhere in the play store to update the application which was on 5.0.8. Correct version being 5.1.4. So because it saw it as updated for whatever reason I couldn't update it to correct version. I had to uninstall it and install it again to get the correct version.
So essentially;
Check instagram on play store to see if update is available for it. Says there is none and that all of my apps are up to date. Go to app settings and see instagram isn't really up to date. Go back to play store to confirm there is no update. There is no option to do so (play store thinks app is fully updated). Must uninstall it and when I install again it is up to date.
So naturally if it didn't recognize an update for one of my apps I'm assuming there's more. I always leave auto sync on, but I'll see if there was a sync error. I don't think that's it, however. Probably going to take this up in the tibu thread as well.
the play store doesnt see if you need updates right away, it can time time. when apps are released, one person can get/see an update a day or two after another, even though the app is updated for everyone. plus, if you just restored, the play store would have to sync first before you saw it as new.

The thing is the update(instagram) was released 9 days ago. I know updates take a few hours to push to the public after a developer releases it. I just tried to replicate it again by uninstalling it and restoring from titanium. Same issue. I'd had all my apps installed since the 13th. The day the latest mahdi update came out. It should have caught it in 6 days. :/
Still stumped.
Besides if that was the case that the update hadn't been pushed to the play store yet, it would still show 5. 0. 8. Not the new 5. 1. 4

If you read my OP that's exactly how I got it up to date....twice :facepalm:
I'm saying my issue is that the play store has recognized an application as up-to-date after being restored from tibu when it is indeed not up-to-date. Can't be because I didn't get the update pushed to play store yet, because the update is already on play store for me.
After trying a couple things it has become all too apparent that this is most likely an issue caused by titanium backup. I will continue to troubleshoot there from now on. Sorry,but I don't seem to be successfully getting my point across here. Thanks for all your replies, though.

na. i have memories of many times in the past 6 years when the version showing for me was the updated version, yet i was still on the older version, and didnt show me an update(especially with google app updates). at a later point that day i got the update. if you know that an app got an update, yet you didnt at that point, i bet itll still show you the version thats updated.
It's been at least 6 days since ROM install. 9 since instagram update. I wasn't on the latest version. There should have been an update button in the play store on instagrams page.
This is the first time ever seeing this since the Droid X, X2, stratosphere, toro galaxy nexus, n5... I never keep auto update on. Back in the X2 days an app got updated automatically and was no longer compatible with the phone. Just force closed. Couldn't roll back. Since then I always updated manually and kept an eye on app versions, etc. If I didn't pay attention to that stuff or try xposed I probably would have never noticed it.
right, but you also restored a backup. id think that would change things, until your phone resyncs everything, which isnt always right away also.
What exactly do you mean by syncing? In the last 6 days I've had quite a few play store notifications telling me there's updating to the following applications. I remember specifically, multirom, Google camera, ez weather, screen filter and ecodrive just off the top of my head. Instagram wasn't there. Yet I keep auto sync in and I checked after your first reply. There was no sync errors. Everything was checked off and refreshed within 40 minutes of checking. :/
So to confirm, you wiped data in play app? Do it again

Ironically, no and yes. I was messing around after I noticed that. I found an app called Recovery Tools on the play store. I figured I'd secure my data by flashing stock recovery and locking BL. Don't know why but I got the urge but I used to do it on my toro nexus. Anyways I made the mistake of locking my boot loader with boot unlocker and then flashed stock recovery. Phone went haywire. Tried a cache wipe from stock recovery but it did nothing. My phone booted, to my surprise but I was met with nonstop sysUI and gallery FC. I ended up having to scroll through my apps in between FC to open boot unlocker and unlock again. Then since I had no systemUI I had no home keys so i had to reboot again go back to the recovery tools app to flash my recovery backup I made before doing this. Long story short (too late) I had a bunch of stuff reset. Most of my system settings. Anything that had to do with systemUI. Even opened play store and was prompted to accept the terms of service again. Still showed no update for IG
I'm over it for now. Tonight I'll check my app info versions and match them with play store. Luckily xposed has a module to put a play store link in app info so it should be quicker!! Hahahaha
Anyways I'll bring it to the attention of the tibu dev in their thread if I find any more apps that aren't up to date on my phone, despite play store telling me they are
Does TB still have the break market link feature in settings? It's possible that got activated somehow. If it happens again go to menu. Then Market Docter. Market Update helper will also get you the update. Just some thoughts.
Rooted LG G3 d851 4.4.2 T-Mobile
I downgraded to older versions of gosms pro and snapchat for numerous reasons... I had researched how to avoid app updates and deselected auto update in the play store. Additionally, i detached both apps from play store with titanium backup... They tend to always show up in my update queue from time to time but i never update them and select apps one by one or detach again and update all... Well today somehow after switching batteries and turning my phone back on both apps force updated themselves... What the? Anyone else experience this?
Since no one answered this putting it out there in car anyone elsenhas problems. I figured out after posting this. TB was being greenified and for some reason apps I had detatched from play store were reassociating as new and requiring update and this and at that time Play Store would auto select auto update however now it doesn't do that
