[Q] Play Store apps not compatible? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my S5 setup properly in the UK but when I access the play store it shows a lot of the Samsung apps such as WatchOn, Group Play and NNL Fingerprint Passport as being incompatible with my device so I cannot update them.
What is causing this issue?
Thanks.

Is your firmware a UK one?, all apps you mentioned come pre-installed and can be updated from Samsung Apps not Play Store

[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.

Roadrover Changan S model root/unlock?

Hey, i've recently got my new ford fiesta with the above android headunit installed.
The unit is locked and without a google play. The advanced options are blocked and i was wondering if the device can be rooted or unlocked? I found little to no information on the subject.
Thanks!
if you have any app that wants you to rate it on google play you can use it to get the playstore installed and then via browser link get google play services. from there you'll be fine

Download apps from play store over LTE

I have an XT1643 and I recently upgraded to official Android N. Now the apps from play store are not downloading when using LTE. Browsing play store and accessing other sites is working fine with LTE and over wifi I can even download the apps but just that over mobile data it doesn't download any app. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem and have a solution?
Remove and add back your Google account.

Removing and adding Google account didn't help.
Yes, I'm roaming. Is there a way to disable this controlling behavior introduced in Nougat?

Samsung push on LGV20?

I decided today to remove more stuff from my V20. I found out that it has samsung push services installed.
What would be affected if I remove it?
Samsung push would be effected.
Samsung gear watch maybe?

As stated, you either have a Samsung device you've tried connecting to it or it's an app that came over from a previous device by way of a backup and restore service such as you Google account. Samsung Push is not something pre-installed on your LG device.
@TempezT would you like to create a list of apps you have disabled or removed? A debloat list of sorts. T-Mo H918 here.

I disable the following:
T mobile ID
Android pay
Cloud print
Drive
Google play music
Google play MOVIES AND TV
Hang outs
In apps
Lookout
Removed
T mobile TV
Penup
And some other apps I don't remember right now. As mention by CHH, some apps came from my N7 so I don't know which ones came stock on my V20.

Cool man, we should keep a list updated on all safe apps as we disable them. Some are not as safe as these, but I'm not sure which ones are and aren't lol

Can't copy Google account to Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 4G with S20 Ultra bought in HK

Hello, I just got a new Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 4G (purchased in the UK) but I am having trouble copying my Google account to it. My phone is a S20 Ultra 5G (purchased in Hong Kong, SM-G9880)
In the Galaxy Wearable app, After the "Copying your accounts..." screen I get a "Couldn't copy your Google accounts" error without any extra context or information.
I have tried resetting my watch, clearing app cache/data from the Galaxy Wearable app, and restarting my phone. I have not attempted a factory reset of my phone as I don't really want to do that unless strictly necessary.
I have contacted Samsung UK support and I've been told that one of the reasons this is not working might be the lack of the "Google Mobile Services" app from my phone, as it does not appear on the list of system apps:
we highly recommend reaching our designated support team in Samsung Hong Kong so that they can also fully check if you can install/download Google Mobile Service (GMS) as this is one of the requirements for you to be able to fully use your mobile phone with your Galaxy Watch4 Classic

I could not find a way to get that installed on my phone, and I am not convinced this is the culprit anyway.
Could someone help?
I had the same issue till yesterday night, Google play services had a new update yesterday so I updated and it worked flawlessly then. try to check if it has an update in the play store, note that you won't find it with "my apps", you have to go to phone settings, apps, show system apps, google play services, scroll all the way down and click on app details in store..
