android 'device isn't compatible with this item'
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:26:14 AM »
  I was really looking forward to using this, I downloaded the free source apps for my desktop PC and two imacs, but was sad to see that you can't watch it on a laptop.

   So finally I got a smartphone, and went to download the app, and it says "your device isn't compatible with this item".   Its an android phone, so I really don't understand why it doesn't work, and I've done searches both here and online to find a 'cure', but so far no luck.  Can anybody help, or should I try a different software program?

What Brand/Model device are you currently using? What version of Android are you currently running? Also, is it the latest version of Android available from your provider?

    Sorry, its the HTC One, and I just downloaded the latest software update.  Its Android 4.0.3, which I think is the latest.  At first I couldn't download any apps, but then I did a google update and that works ok, I was disappointed to see that that message is still there.  Somebody said something about changing the display size, but that doesn't sound right.

According to the Google Developer Console iCam should be compatible with the HTC One so I am not sure why it would be saying that. I would suggest contacting Google as to why the app is being deemed as incompatible. You can contact them here: http://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en&topic=2803007&rd=1

   Google wasn't much help. I ended up resetting my camera to the factory settings and then logging into google play and then it downloaded no problem.
