Does your Nexus 4 show up as a device in the play store?

My Nexus 4 is not showing up as an owned device under My Orders and Settings -> Settings in the Google Play store. Has anyone else experienced this? I was trying to push an app to my phone remotely and noticed my Nexus 4 wasn't listed.

I noticed that too earlier

Yes, it is showing up in my devices list.

Same here. No problems with all three of my android devices. They're all listed and remote install works fine.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

It took mine about 24 hours to sow up as a recognized device after first turning it on.

Mine shows up too on the Devices list.
Anyways, thanks for reminding me about this. Just set the Device name as "OG Limbo Level 3 Nexus 4".

Mine was showing up, but now it's disappeared and I can't use the web interface to send apps to it.
I can use the Store on the device just fine.
It's rooted, but I don't have a custom ROM or anything.
Any ideas, before I do a hard reset?

If you tried the 'Google Framework Services' trick to force the 4.2.2 update it can cause your device to no longer appear in devices on the Play store. I had the same issue with my N7 & all I did to resolve it was download an app (any app) by using the Play store app on my N7, a few hours later it reappeared.
Hope this helps.

Hah! It's been missing for days, and I have downloaded apps to try and get it back, to no avail.
I did the Framework Services trick again and actually got the update. Then installed an app from the device and lo and behold... it's re-appeared.
Cheers!

I tried the Framework Services trick and now my Nexus 4 isn't showing up when trying to install an app from the Play Store. Anyone have a quick fix? thanks!

I've downloaded many apps from the device itself during the past 24 hours with no problem.
Yet it's still not showing up as one of my devices on the website...

It should only show up on that list if you have actually set-up the 'wallet' app on the device.

Updated my Nexus 4 from 4.2.2. to 4.3 earlier today (OTA, nothing special)
Now it's no longer in my devices list on the Play Store website...

I was having the same issue yesterday. Couldn't download anything online, but had no issues downloading anything from my device. It seems to have been fixed now though. I thought it might have been the fact that I only had the phone for 3 days now and it just took a day or 2 to register with Google once it was activated.

Mine is doing this now (as I mentioned in another thread)
Completely stock, no issues accessing the play store on the device. No issues before the 4.3 OTA upgrade.
Have done factory reset but still no change.

Yep, shows up fine for me

12 hours after a factory reset, still no device listed.
Being able to search for things to install at work and have them installed at home was the best benefit of Android over iOS (for me)

After trying so many things, "removing and re adding google account", "clearing google services framework", etc...
IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
Here's what I did
1) Uninstalled updates to Play store and Play services
2) Opened the "Google Settings" app in the app drawer and clicked on Android Device Manager. Unchecked and rechecked "remotely locate this device" and checked "allow remote factory reset"
3) Refreshed the play store site on chrome on PC and voila!

[Q] Google Play Remote install problems

Since I have updated to 4.2.2 OTA (all Stock) installing Apps using the Google Play website does not seem to really work.
When I click install on play.google.com nothing happens on the phone until I open the Google Play App. Seems like that the service that used to connect to google play regulary does no longer run?
Anyone else seen this?
Related note ... I did the google framework service thing to get it to show the OTA after installing the update my phone did not show up in play.google.com at all until I have installed a random app using the google play app.

Open Play Store and check your auto update settings. Probably you need to enable it.

The autoupdate setting has nothing to do with it; I'm experiensing the same issue, the download starts, but it takes 1 minutes before it starts, even if I have Google Play opened on my phone

It is enabled but not sure how this is related ... I am talking about install / remove didn't test update yet.

OK I have fixed it.
Did Settings -> Apps -> All and Cleared the Data for Google Play and Google Play Services.
Rebooted the phone. Opened Play Store once and now thinks work like as expected.

This is what worked for me:
Go into your device's app manager. Select Google Play app. Click on uninstall updates. This will take it back to the factory setup state. I then had to reboot the device as I initially got a message that Google Play has stopped working when I tried to open the app. After reboot, open Google Play and accept the terms and conditions. This got the install from website issue fixed.

Nexus 4 - You don't have any devices - Google Play website

Anyone help with this annoying problem I'm recently experiencing?
I've never had this problem before, but for no reason (i've not installed any apps recently or changed ROM) I am unable to install apps to my phone via my PC google play browser.
All I get is 'You don't have any devices' - and when I try install an app it says 'You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag icon) on your device with this email account.
Clearly I have because I just installed a free game from my phone and I can the see the game installed from the PC play store browser in my apps list.
I have tried forcing the Google Play app to stop and clearing data, logging out of my PC browser and trying again but no luck, I have reinstalled GAPPS and my ROM with a cache/davlic wipe but same results.
All I can think of is because my original email was c......... @googlemail.com and one day it asked me if I wanted c........ @gmail.com and to merge the two accounts together, which I clicked yes to. So when setting my phone up for the first time I use c........ @googlemail.com but then it shows up as c......... @gmail.com when I look at my account settings....
Really annoying problem!!

same issue with Galaxy Note II
No, it's not because of changing email addresses. It has to do with changing ROM.
I changed my ROM from samsung note II, to CM10, and this problem started occurring. I'm also thinking it has something to do with titanium backup breaking market links

I don't know if it's the ROM. I've tried many ROMs on my Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and Galaxy Ace, sometimes even switching everyday of the week and I've never one had this issue.
I'd talk to Google support if I were you. The only thing I have issues with is my device list. It shows two Nexus 7s because my first one died after 7 days and I had to exchange it for a new one, which also activated... and you can't remove devices from your account.

Titanium Backup "market doctor"
Could it be Titanium Backup's market doctor? Perhaps this problem started when I linked all system and user apps to the market.
It also shows a really old nexus 7 that I've sold long ago. Notwithstanding, I can still use Google play on my device without any issue.

I've never used TB market doctor because all of my backups linked properly to the market when I restored them. I would guess that isn't the issue though, because all it does is repair link to the market so apps show up as downloaded and can be updated.
It sounds like it could be an account issue with the email/merging thing you did.

spoke to google
I spoke to google for a long while: while I was not able to to see my phone listed under "my devices" they were able to see it on their end. All I could see was 4 devices that I have long ago stopped using.
They speculate that it could be an error with a recent update to the Play.google.com site....
here is what they recommend:
Uninstall updates to
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY STORE
They also asked me to wipe data.
They asked me to reboot - and - now I'm still waiting for the auto play-store update. Currently does not seem to have solved the problem.
Anyone else having these issues?
<<hangouts will require the updated play-store in order to work>>

Go into settings > apps > all, and select Google Play Store
Force stop and clear data.
Then open the play store again on your device and accept the terms and conditions.
Wait 15 minutes or 30 minutes or 1 hour, you will see your device.

Grim Fandango, how to install

I know I could stream Grim Fandango Remastered from my pc but I do not have a Nvidia card only the intergrated Intel HD graphics. Fangdango is available for android but it is not compatible with any of my devices if it were I would d/l it and then sideload it. What can I do?

Do you have any devices that it is compatable with? If so, you can install it there, and move the APK.

..

Every device I have is rooted but the only one that is registered that is compatible is the Nexus 9 but I returned it because it was running very hot and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 which my daily device now. It is rooted and running a custom 5.0.2 rom. I tried every device option available with Market Helper but Grim Fandango still did not show in the play store. I tried using my chrome browser and going to the play store and Grim Fandango would show but it still only showed it being compatible with the Nexus 9. Strange when I clicked on the play store compatibility list the device I was spoofing was not there. I double checked the device manager page and it showed that the device had ben changed to the spoofed one. Am I doing something wrong?

That's what you want. With market helper, it doesn't change the play store on the device. You have to install it on the web interface to the spoofed device. The play store on your device will update all installed apps though luckly, supported or not.

But, the spoofed device is not showing up in my compatibility list. The list is still only showing the original list. I am using the play store through Chrome browser. I'm starting to feel like a noob again! ?

..

So, I definitely have to use a pc. I thought since there was a in app link to the Android device mgr there was no need to use the pc.

I didn't have to use a pc. I used chrome browser installed on the shield. Just refreshed a few times in that and the spoofed device showed up.

..

Yes, it works on the shield. You have to install via web browser, but the device does the rest.

Back on topic, did you manage to get this working?

To be honest, I have been sidetracked most of this week with an addition I am adding to my home. I will try this coming week and post results.

No I could not get it to work, it kept crashing. There is a version of it ln the Nvidia Store but it is only for the Shield tablet. How hard would it be to port it to the NSATV. I guess Nvidia would have to ask Doublefine for permission or else Doublefine would have to do it themselves? How does one bring this to Nvidias attention?

any updates whit grim fandango on android tv?
Its on sale this weekend

Lack of google play in ZTE Market

hello after reset the phone I noticed that there is no google play store in zte market, so i had to install it on my own from web sources. what is curious google play services were already preinstalled on the phone, as well as installing Play Store was like updating it, but without it the app coudln't be found anywhere on the phone
so any idea what happened to Google Play, and if it is safe to install it from web sorcues, this time it was xda-dev.

Use Open-GApps. http://opengapps.org/

im afraid there is no Play Store there, in any of the categories

Pick the right version

It was there before. Since I took new updates of zte market, it isn't there. Not any of Gapps. I used to always install it from there.

Lol it's obviously safe as long as it's APKMirror or xda labs, or places like that.
When I used MiFavor 5 for the first time there was a version of Play Services installed there, but you had to go to Apps and enable it. Also GApps didn't help at all.

@ BurakSefaSenturk, the Google Play app can not be deleted, so you can try to back up and return to factory reset. If you want to download this APP, the office website would be the better choice.

Yes you can delete the Google Play app if you are rooted. You can delete any app if you are rooted, even the calculator, clock...
