[Q] cannot buy apps, Play claims incompatible - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I rooted my N7 with NRT. Now when trying to purchase apps at Google play it says that Google Authenticator, Angry Birds, Jump Desktop and some other apps are incompatible with Asus Nexus 7.
Coincidence or a problem when rooting? I did not install custom ROM.
Edit: problem is apparently due to changing dpi and not clearing Play-store cache after reverting setting to default value.
Update: I cleared the cache and data for Google Play and it did not solve the problem any suggestions?

I tried what you attempted as well, and it ended up not working.

I managed to solve the issue by first deleting the cache and data, then changing the account used for Play-store to another account and then back to my original account.
I think the next step is to get a device spoofing app or something so Play-store works without the hassle.

[Q] Play store closes when starting

Hi all,
My play store will not open after updating my PA Rom from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and factory reset before updating, but when I flashed the new rom and google apps the play store just simply shows a white screen and closes after a second - no error message or anything.
I've tryed clearing the data for Google Play Services, the Play store app itself, and disabling it and rebooting multiple times and still nothing. I've also tried reflashing the google apps package and redownloading it, and still nothing. Lastly, I uninstalled the play store app via TB and reflashed the google apps package and that did not work, either.
Running Paranoid Android 3.15 Android version 4.2.2 Grouper. Do you guys think it's an issue with the rom, maybe? I couldn't find anything in the development thread leading me to think no, so I'm guessing it's just my device.
I searched around for a bit and found something about the vender.apk - but not much help on that. Thanks in and advance - any other help would be appreciated.
just reinstall everything including the rom and do a factory reset.
Maybe you could try flashing Google Apps for 4.2.2 :fingers-crossed:

[Help] Play Store "Check Your Connection and Try Again" Error

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this issue (aside from factory reset, saving that as a last resort). I re-installed the Play Store, both modded and original versions. Cleared the Data and Cache after force stopping multiple times. I've cleared the Dalvik Cache and the Cache in recovery. Still nothing, tried using the Modded Play Store Installer to install a very old version of the play store, it won't even open.
Any help is much appreciated.
Update: While writing this post, Play Store 5.0.37 was released, and I installed it, the problem is still occurring. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the Play Store itself but another app acting upon it.

Dude
Dude did you set your time into internet time if it wasnt set it to internet time cuz thats the problem or if you had root access then download root explorer and then find etc and find host then hold the host file and delete all the text there and put 127.0.0.1 localhost then save the changes and look at it and it just like your changing build .prop but your changing a host so follow it
I think the problem isn't from the play store because all the google apps are not working .
But did you used freedom or lucky patcher to mod the play store ??
If yes so i think if you had a backup the problem is solved if no so you need to make a software to your phone

"Not Working" can mean a lot of things. What is it doing? You might have the wrong Google Services Framework installed. I assume since the phone is on 5.0.1, it is rooted? You might try just wiping the Data and Cache for the App for starters.
If that does not fix, try uninstalling the Play Store, and then just sideload and flash the .apk for the most recent version to reinstall. Sometimes a fresh install will iron out problems. If those do not work, some specifics on the Play Store version and what it is doing exactly would be helpful.

Phone is not rooted ( no superuser app or SU app installed ). Not working meant all i see is Downloading but nothing happens and after few mins i get error code 495. I cleared cache, reset phone but facing same issue.
I have 2 internet connections strange thing is that its working on one wifi but not working on other.
If it's a second hand bought.. Do a clean flash.. It is the best way to resolve the issue.. You never know what the previous owner has done to his phone..

I had the same problem and no really resolved it. In fact trying to resolved it racing through twrp, i deleted my system, so i was stuck for a whole night thinking i may not recover from this.. But i did, and i turned around and rooted again, no problems now.
I ended up reflashing the stock deodexed Rom and all is well now. Not sure what did that. But thanks for the response. :good:

All Google apps? Does the play store work?
Play may have got stuck on an update. Try clearing cache and data for both services and store (or try one before the other perhaps - can't recall which one usually fixes it) then uninstall. It should just roll you back to the version that shipped with the phone. Reboot if necessary. Then try to launch play store and update your apps. It should update to the latest version without a problem and solve any issue you may have.
If that fails, I guess you can try sideloading the latest version from APKmirror.
