A few of the apps not compatible are:
Dropbox, Facebook, Amazon kindle, Nova Launcher.
Using Standard Rom unlocked.
Any ideas ?

Strange. All those apps work fine on my Nexus 7. Maybe something else is causing problems. Any new apps installed lately?

I got it working by resetting the DPI to it's original 213, cleared the play store and google caches and rebooted.
Don't know why it suddenly started playing up.

Oh it does that when you change your DPI. I had that issue on SlimBean ROM but then I flashed the special Play Store for that DPI and it worked.

For the DPI thing, you just need to change it back to stock, do your playstore updates, then change it back. Fact of life unless they get something like the density modder running without borking everything up.
Or put your DPI to 160 and most of everything in the play store will work.

LCd Density modder pro will install a modded marketplace that thinks the dpi is at 240.
Don't use that app, it will Bork your tablet up. The app hasn't been updated for jb yet.

I only installed the marketplace and no issues here. I used rom toolbox to change my dpi.

Incompatible apps according to the play store when its not true after 4.2 update

This may have been discussed before but I love tablet mode even though Google took it away from us with the 4.2 update.
With that being said I tried phablet mode and I still am not a big fan so changed the screen density back to 160. Since I have done this I don't see updates for certain apps that came out today for example Google books or tablet talk. The play store claims my device is not compatible, but that can't be true so I changed the density back to 213 and it hasn't changed the play store compatibility issue. I cleared my cache files and that still didn't help. Anyone else having similar issues or knows how to fix this? Thanks!!!!

I deleted the Google Framework and cleared the cache rebooted and it seems like it is back to normal. Never had this issue before

I woke up this morning and it started acting up again. Did the same steps as I did last night deleting the framework and rebooting and it didn't help. Anyone ????

App Update sloooooww

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx
i hope im in the right section ^^
Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space
i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:
up... please
So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

(Q) Asphalt 8

I have annoying problem, when I tap some apps it's say unfortunately, the app was stopped. It's wasn't happening to me, I think it's because I blocked ads with the lucky patcher. How can I fix this problem? I waiting a lot of time to play in the asphalt 8.
By the way, when I try to connect to Google keep and search it's say the same thing, unfortunately Google keep has stopped. I really desperate, I need help, maybe it's supersu issue?

Perhaps you are just using a buggy ROM/kernel or you've used apps to restrict too many permissions of apps?

Yeah, like naenee said, there might be a problem with your ROM, which ROM are you on?

some apps stop working when there is that option for expanded desktop
i play this asphalt 8 on full screen with slim / franco 178 on expanded but i activate the option before launching the game
I don't think that the problem, because when I wipe my data and install the game is working perfectly.

I get the same error on launching asphalt 8..
Like the other guys previously said, this problem must have something to do with custom ROMs. I'm on stock JB 4.3 (unrooted, locked bootloader) and the game runs perfectly.

Or maybe it's the custom kernel.

Google Maps on an 8.9HDX LTE 64GB

I haven't rooted yet, so I'm just sideloading the latest 7.5 version of Google Maps on my HDX (14.3.1). It installs fine and when run displays the base map normally, however all the labels are unreadable. It looks as if they are overwriting themselves. All other functionality works as expected, but the map is basically unusable in this state.
I'm wondering if anyone else is using Google Maps on an 8.9 HDX? I'm hoping to not have to root right away, but I know I will eventually. Unfortunately there isn't another good mapping app so getting this working is key to me. Thanks in advance,
Steve

I have the same issue with the 7" HDX. There is a better Mapquest app on 1Market (better than the one in the Amazon app store) that works pretty well.

It's good to hear it's not just my HDX, maybe there's a chance it will be fixed. I tried the latest Mapquest and it's pretty good, but I still prefer Google Maps. So far out of 30 Google Play apps it's the only one with any major issues.

I also noticed Maps wants to install Google Play Services when you attempt to set the current location (GPS on my LTE version). I was able to sideload GP services, but that didn't resolve the problem.
Does anyone have Google Maps working on an HDX, rooted or unrooted? Updates to Maps haven't helped so far, but maybe an update to the Kindle OS?

I recall a slightly older (pre-API spit?) version worked fine for me. Upgrading it to latest broke it.

The oldest version I have is 6.14.4. What version do you have that works, and do you have any idea how I could get that version (or any other back versions)? Thanks,

I found some old versions of Maps on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357873
However, none of them seemed to fix the problem of the app not showing street names or overwriting names to where you can't read them. This is REALLY frustrating as I use google maps a lot and this bug makes it practically unusable.
I've gone back as far as version 6.8 and I still see the label overwrite problem. One thing I noticed is after I install and run Maps for the first time, I see the message "Updated to latest version". It seems as if Maps gets an online update the first time it connects to the server. If that's what happens there may not be anyway to install an old version.

Works fine on aosp rom
I have the same issue on my HDX 7 -- and have also tried other versions of Maps.
However, I am running Cpajuste's AOSP 4.2 rom on one of my slots and the Google Maps rendering works fine!
Therefore, it would "appear" to be an issue with the Amazon OS.
Same here.Posted a screenshot couple of weeks ago in a similar thread. Hdx 7 stock no root. Maybe we should could contact Google for this cause it's really strange..

Weird.....
No update on this topic?
I have problem like 3 months and still can't find the way to fix it.
I believe the problem is Amazon OS.

Amazon will not go out of their way to work on any Google product. And vice versa. Competing entities.

Same here. Never tried it on the stock ROM, but didn't work properly under the Gapps ROM. Works just fine with the AOSP 4.2 ROM.
