Can't access Google Play - says browser is no longer supported. How can I fix this?

[AC Question]

Can't access Google Play - says browser is no longer supported.

Hi,

I've somehow deleted Google Play from my phone. I've done a factory reset and it still hasn't come back. It just says that this browser is no longer supported. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Can't access Google Play - says browser is no longer supported.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is it rooted? If it's unrooted and if Google Play Store was preinstalled on the phone, then it can't be deleted. Did you disable Google Play Services?

Where is that "browser no longer supported" message showing up?

I am having the same problem with my 4 year old LG Android phone, as soon as I type google play (there is no built in app for google play, only LG app adviser) into my browser and try to go there I get the message that my browser is no longer supported and I cannot get into google play. So how do I update the browser when both Chrome and Firefox direct me to google play to do it?

Thanks Russ

I have the same exact problem. I have an LG-L38C no carrier, which had the google play store preinstalled. One day the signal bar on my phone went from green to white. After that I couldn't access the google play store. I even tried doing it on the browser and it says "This browser is no longer supported..." I am confused and extremely angry.

I have a Samsung S3 and it has the same problem, has anybody mentioned a solution?

I try to download Google Chrome for Android, I get the webpage for the download and click on Install, my phone displayes the message

This browser is no longer supported Please use the Google Play Store App to access Play, but the Play Store app is not available

I'm having the same issue on an old Pandigital tablet. And since it would appear that ALL android apps are now handled through play store, I'm screwed from adding any new apps.

There are alternative ways to download and install applications on an android mobile device without referring to "Google Play". Android application files are usually .apk files. For the case of actually downloading and installing Google Play, just search for "Google Play apk" file. Sites like "APK4Fun" have most common android application files available open to download. But using .apk files from sources other than "Google Play" isn't always a secure thing to do, so choose at your discretion.

If you are having problems installing the application or even downloading it, try a PC android device manager like "MobileGo" by Wondershare. Install the application on your PC and via USB connect your android device to the PC. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device and the device is sync with the PC and not just charging. Once the MobileGo program identifies your android device you can install .apk files to your android device via PC by choosing install app and finding the .apk file on you downloaded on your computer.
