Default Market question

Would anyone know why a d3 would have issues d/l stuff from market? It says that my device is not compatible but some of these apps I already have on my phone and some of them my girlfriend can d/l on her d3 but I can't? Any ideas?

Market version I'd assume? Are you using Google Play yet?

because it's not classifying your phone as a "droid 3" its classifying it as something different, i believe if you modify the build.prop file, theres a line in there that says "device ID" and you can change it to the correct device ID and it should recognize it as a D3, but then this is all for custom roms, if you're using a stock rom, then i'm completely in the dark lol

It definitely can be seen as many phones. The XT862 is the American model of the Droid 3, but the Droid 3 is a Verizon specific branding. If I go to the Play Store on my computer and DL an app to my phone, I have multiple models to pick from, all are my D3, but some are labeled D3 and some are XT862, and I attribute this to running custom ROMs, both modified Blur and AOSP (I believe AOSP broke the Droid 3 branding).

Check my screen capture.
