Any idea on how to solve the problem reported in this thread on a non-Android phone? I'm having it after a purchase, and got no occasion to install the app.

Today I found an interesting mistake and got paid app issue solved. I simply deleted google service setting and just leave play store alone and after restart the "can't retrieve information" error has gone, I can purchase and download as usual. Still have the installation bug, have to use Manatus' method mentioned before. But at least I don't need to login to web play store and "push" the app any more. (referring to #1)

chenliangchen, did you (or anyone else) tried Blackmart already?
This could be a workaround for the Play Store

There is even a store called wandoujia in Chinese which combines dozens of 3rd party stores into one and has more than a million apps lol. I don't really trust blackmarts as malware can be easily implemented and they do lack some good proper stuff

Thanks a lot!
- I picked first option: "1. you can just use terminal on the phone. rsync is a tool to synchronize files & dirs, so there's no need to call it via ssh"
- rsync was done right away without errors
- rebooted phone
- downloaded google services and store
- installed
- and now it seems to be working. I just downloaded and installed Viber.
I repeated the rsync process through the phone's terminal, no errors were reported, Google Services showed a couple more configurable items than before, Google Play was missing. Installed Google Play again, and it started OK.
Conclusion: try using the phone's terminal instead of SSH although it is a pain to type with.

May be something to do with conflicts between the older files installed to enable Play and Alien Dalvik. Interesting you mention updates though, as I previously did have the My O2 app installed, but now refuses to install, returning "Incompatible update."

If you install an Android launcher (Go Launcher has been suggested round here, works ok, but does occasionally pester you to buy extra features) then all the icons are present and correct in there.
