I would contact Google support it might just be a server error on their side if your build.prop isnt modified it should show up as a Nexus 4
Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0RC5

Thank you, guys for trying to help. And @scream, i did posted at their Android Product Forum,, and no one replied.
But It's now fixed, I created another Google account which actually worked. :good:
Thanks again.

Mine shows up as "Google Nexus 4:"
This app is compatible with all of your devices.
Google Galaxy Nexus
Google Nexus 4
Motorola Atrix 4G
When you log into the Play Store on a desktop using your old account and you select the settings gear, what does it say in the Settings tab?

You mean at the home of Google Play store? The one at the top right corner?
BTW, is 9mm or Gameloft Live compatible with your Device? (Nexus 4)

Google play store access

Hi. Every time I try to access the Google play store via chrome to check the availability of devices it kicks me through to the store apply on my phone. No device buying there! Any idea how to stop this please?

you might try seeing if it's set as a “default" in your app settongs

Ah thanks that did it. New to Android. Just cleared defaults. Thanks again

FYI you might still not be able to buy from the phone. I tried doing that and I got stuck at the buy button. I would tap on it but nothing would happen.
Ok thanks Ryan

Google plus app not compatible with nexus 4?

Google plus showed a update but when I open it , it showed not compatible .... Any one having this ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It is being replaced by Google hangouts. Try downloading it from the Play Store.

Its probably uploading. See how it doesn't list the size of the app.

Looks like its a Google problem at the moment. Sure they will fix soon

Got the same. Interesting how the roll-out of all these "new" apps is problematic and a lot of hiccups in the process.
Eh well, they will fix it, like they did with Hangouts for Nexus 7 and so on ...

Google Now can't play music?!

I've had this problem for quite a long time and never been able to play music via voice commands in Google Now. I would say 'play "song title or artist" '. But I would just search what I said on Google.
I have a nexus 4.... Cm10.2 nightly. Canada.

I think you have to say...... listen to (track name)
Not sure though I don't use Google now.
Nope. Still just googled what I said

I have always had this problem with Google now. Would be nice if it worked and if it was part of the offline voice dictation. You could try Utter, very functional and customizable voice control. Don't really think a bump was necessary...

I don't believe it even worked when I was on stock ROM. I'm thinking its because I'm in Canada? Maybe these features have only rolled out to the US? Correct me if I'm wrong

Ya i tried both listening and playing commands.
Whats worse is i get my music from online sources since i listen to djs . So the fields of name and song arent correctly filled. Why there is no simple program that can separate or fill the data in automatically is beyond me. Seems pretty easy. Thats the artist and thats the song title
wish i can just say a command and it will play a random song, and then i can give commands to go to next song vocally or something. Was looking into MotoX so i can go handsfree but seems google play needs more updates

I couldn't get BBM working on my Sprint SGT 3 7Inch SM-T217S. In the play store it says it's incompatible & when I restored it from a backup I can open it but I have to either download an app that it wants me to do or I think it was share it did both & still wasn't able to login to my BBM Account so screw it I guess. I lived without them for years till a couple months ago. Guess I'll go on without them again

I heard that the Google now launcher was available with the last Google search update but I haven't got it, am I the only one?

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?

Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
