Chosen Solution
I reset to factory defaults. Apps were working fine until I tried to download them again that is when I recevived the message that my device wasn’t compatible for this device.
Hi, Have you tried updating the Google Play Store app? Open the app, tap Settings, scroll down to Build Version, tap to enter. If there is an update option select it and allow it to update. Try to download an app and see if it works. If it says it is already up to date, try the following: From Main Menu on phone go to Settings > Apps > swipe right to All > scroll down to Google Play Store, tap to enter, tap clear data. Try to download an app. Hopefully this may help you.
Try to download another third party Apps store like Mobogenie
Thanks for your suggestion, @jayeff ! But I already tried to update Google play store app but it does not work for me. While searching the web, I followed MegeByte advice and try to remove Google Account and reconfigure it again, and luckily it works for me.
take off any apps that say incompatible with your phone and download again but do this on a pc and they will work fine.
uninstalling the app > navigate to google play store official website on the pc or Mac with the account currently signed in on the device on https://play.google.com/apps > search for the app you having problem with > click download you will be given option to choose from your linked device with the logged in account and will be remotely downloaded to the phone without asking for permission. hope that fix if the previous given help didn’t cheers
The issue is not with your device. The issue is the version of Android that is running on your device. You can change the version of Android (to Version 7.01 or higher depending on your device). Version 7 and up are compatible with nearly all Android Apps. To upgrade you need the following. IDIN to root the device TWRP to install a new OS LineageOS Gapps 7.01 which is Android version 7.01 or higher depending on your device There are a lot of videos that go through this process. If your device is running Android 6 or less, it will be useful only as a paperweight short of playing some games and surfing the web. Might as well try the above. I did and it works.
This error is occurred when your phone rooted or have custom rom on your device
I had this problem too. I couldn´t see a certain app on the play store on my phone, and play store said “not compatible with any of your devices“ on computer. This while my wife with the exact same phone and android version had no issues I tried: Remove data and cache for play store app on phone - did not work Made a factory reset of my phone - did not work
This solution worked for me: I created another google account (“for my company”), to get a fresh account. Added this account to my phone (you can have several connected to the same device). I closed and reopened play store on my phone (for store to associate the device with the account). In play store on the computer, with the new google account selected, I could see and install the app to my phone.
Problem seem to be a hang up in the google account. Probably some version of “resetting” your google account would work too, like removing associated devices and letting the google account “rediscover” your phone again
