ok, so I got a new HTC Desire HD from my fathers company when we moved to China not so long ago. But the phone had a pre-installed chinese version of Android 2.2.1, which don't even have a app market.
Is there a way to get get google play on it? It's a bit annoying to always search around to find a .apk file of the app you want, download it to the computer, send it do the phone and hence install it.
This would help a lot.
Thank you in advance.
You could always just download the play store .apk
There are 2 at the bottom of the page, either a modified one or the original .apk

When I try to open the non-modded version the app just 'stopped unexpectedly' ... What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, you need to make your device not look like it is in China or a China version as the google market is blocked in China and on China based devices

And how should I do this? Would a VPN work?

Apparently you need to install the modified version in the link i posted, and when prompted to overwrite select yes
Download the modded .APK file
Connect your device to your computer.
Place the .APK on your device, but don’t use adb install; it won’t work since the Google Play Store is already installed
Open the .APK with a file explorer of your choosing, and install. When prompted as to whether you wish to replace the current Google Play Store app, you select “Yes”.
After a short installation process, that’s all. Your are now able to access unrestricted Play Store app.
Still not working ...

Ok, so I have now successfully rooted my phone, and installed the modded version of Google Play, but still, when I'm trying to launch the application it says; "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.)
Could this be because of a too old Android version (running 2.2.1)? Should I install a custom ROM?
If you are rooted, that seems like the next logical step. There are several 'stock' or 'near-stock' ROMs, as well as many 'modded' to choose from, based on gingerbread (2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7). Most ICS are still incomplete although pretty functional.. Work in progress is the phrase they use. Must warn that once you start ROM swapping, it gets quite addictive

Thank you, I finally got the google plus app to work
But after flashing a new ROM, I got a new problem (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636999) anyone here got any tips for how to fix this .. ? : )
Last summer I had my Fire TV rooted and set up with Xposed to fake Wifi access so that I could use my Xfinity app via ethernet. Previous to that I was using FOX-FI and my phone as a Wifi hotspot but Metropcs blocked the ability to do so.
All was well until the unit started turning itself off a few months ago. I was sent a replacement that I believe was a refurbishment and it NEVER updates (i.e. never updated to the Prime option on the left side of the menu) -- which would be great except I haven't been able to root it (most likely it's unrootable). Now I have a 3rd one and I just need to know how I can run my Xfinity TV GO app on it (after it's sideloaded) without having to use WIFI. Also, where is the list of serial numbers or whatever it is that allows one to know if the box can be rooted?
Thanks in advance.
The newest version of Xfinity Go does work over ethernet. I do have a lot of buffering issues when trying to watch on demand video though.

Really? I'll download the new app then sideload it to see if I'm still being told to connect via Wifi. I'll update later.
I'm getting the errror message "Sorry ,we are experiencing some difficulties. You can continue using the app, but not all areas may be working." What do you think the problem might be? I searched for this particular error but only viewed unanswered questions.
And when I went to 'Bookmarked' This popped up:
"An unknown error occurred during this request. Please try again.
Instantiation of [simple type, class com.xfinity.playerlib.model.tags.Network] value failed: Invalid int: """
Are you sure you have the newest version? Its at version 2.4.2. When I tried an older version, I would get that error about experiencing difficulties. But the new one works fine. And you should get a popup about it working with mobile data the first time you open it.

Yep. I went and downloaded the lastest from Google Play after typing my response. This one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xfinity.playnow
Hmm, did you get the popup about mobile data now working at least? I have no clue why it wouldnt work for you unless you are on an old version.

It's still not working. I included the link to the version I installed today. So, I'm not sure what the problem could be. There's a version of Xfinity for X1? users with cloud that I don't believe applies to my account. I've retried it a few times now and it shows the same message

If you don't see that mobile data popup then you likely do not have the newest version. Downloading from play store may not always get you the newest version because the version it lets you download is based on what device you download it from. Google "xfinity go apk 2.4.2" and find it that way and make sure you are downloading version 2.4.2.002. If that doesn't work, I have no more advice for you because I have no clue what the issue is.

I tried installing that same file on the older rootable device that won't update and the new non-rootable one and it's the same "experiencing difficulties" error. I was able to navigate to the 'Live' streaming area and when clicked to view a channel I got the "No Wi-Fi Connection. You must be on Wif-Fi to stream video content." pop-up. So, that's the true issue --- this version isn't ethernet compatible. I also tried to google for that apk and there were only a few sites that didn't seem to be safe. Would you be able to upload the apk that you have working via Ethernet?

This app seems to be pre-installed on every device samsung has made apart from the s9.
I have tries installing this apk from sammobile however it is not allowing me to do so.
Is there any reason why this is not allowing me to install? Also has anybody had any luck installing?

what error are you getting? if its a system app, you wont be able to just sideload it, most likely

I managed to install it. Just had to go back a few versions for it to work.
Just could not understand why this app was not pre-installed like it is on most other models?
So Disney plus launched today. I am on Verizon unlimited so I got a free 12 months. I went to install the app from the playstore and I got the 'Your device isn't compatible with this version' error. I'm on the latest ASJ8 build. Anyone else out there experience this? The only thing I can think of is maybe because I am on the beta google play services? I tried sideloading the apk also but it won't install. I can still go through the website so it isn't a huge deal right now but would like the app to work.
I found an apk that would sideload on my phone so got it installed anyways. Still don't know why its showing as not compatible in play store.
Yea same here cant download the app. Could be a mishap on their end. Doesnt surprise.
Interesting, it installed on mine
Installed on mine. Sprint Note 10+
I installed disney+ app from playstore.
T-Mobile
Installed from the playstore just fine for me as well (Verizon).

Same. Had no problem installing on mine. I've seen this all over the place today, though...not sure why it's not working for all of us unless it's a region thing.

The one I downloaded was from apkpure.com and downloaded whatever the latest version was at the time. I also had to download the pure apk installer on their website because their files are in .xapk format. Installed from there with no issues. You can uninstall the pure apk installer program after you are done.
My problem seems to have fixed itself as originally after I installed if I pulled up disney+ in the playstore it would still tell me it wasn't compatible. There error is gone now and the app updated through the playstore. So a glitch on disney or googles end seems like the culprit as I haven't changed anything else.
Hopefully the file from there will work for you if you haven't tried already.
I had the same problem on my S10+, but that was because I was on the OneUI 2.0 beta, which fails the SafetyNet check for DRM. Sideloading the APK from Apkpure worked like a charm, and then I ended up going to the Note 10+, which I had no issues installing from the Play Store on that device.
I can't download the file from apkpure. No result found
My Google Play system update was stuck on 1 July for several months now. And today I notice it turns red with no more updates available. Anyone have the same problem nor know how to fix it?
I'm on latest stock ROM with locked BL.
Same here, is there an update??
That is apparently the current version?
Same on my phone, but I could update it manually to Sept 1. now.
Weird that it was not done automatically.

Oh, mine had the update today. 6.3k, can't have been much in it.
I don't think it was automatic in the past either. But I have is updates set to manual so maybe that's why?

Download and install this Apk if you are on the Sept Patch
Same story on my other phone Samsung A30s. So I guess it's not A2 lite specific.

This was a problem for me as well. My moto g 5g was stuck on that of 1 August 2020. I searched all over the internet but couldn't find anything that would work. I even did a factory reset but that too didn't work and the it was still showing that no updates were available. But yesterday while I was using the "Multiple User" option available under the "System" in settings (not as guest but new user) and tried checking Google Play system update and surprisingly there was an update available. I changed from new user to the original user (admin) and found that still there was no update available there. So I checked back to the new user and updated the phone. Why Google treated the new user differently is something that I want to know?
