LG Optimus Chat will not install Google Play

Today, I figured I'd install some apps on my LG Optimus Chat, I seen Android Market (older app store from Google) and I tried to get Google Play Store, usually it installs itself after I use Android Market a few times but this time.. it doesn't, it runs Android 2.2 Froyo, devices running Froyo 2.2 and up can use Google Play Store, my device is even listed on Google Support webpage under Google Play as supported, as seen here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131 But all I want to know is, how can I get Google Play on this phone? it says it's supported and the OS supports it also, but I can't get it installed, I've tried restarts, installing Google Play apps like Movies & TV, Games etc, doesn't help, just says "Play Store not available" I hate the Market, it's old and outdated, please help!

SOURCE: how do i change my internal memory settings for LG optimus e400?

Internal memory is different than SD card memory. You only have 800MB free on your phone's harddrive, you still have 1GB of space unused on your SD card. Today's apps are large, some are even 1GB big! I would go and purchase at least a 16GB card for your phone. They are around 10 bucks now a days. Then on your phone, go to your settings and select the big apps, there should be an option to move them over to the SD card.

Delete them all and download again from a different site to External memory stick or via Pc. You could also try using different folders - sometimes my folders dont work for some things but do for others. then i change them around once they are on the phone

HOW DO I SET UP MY ACCOUNT OR USERNAME,PASSWORD, AND EMAIL ADDRESS?

Hi, if the google play store is installed in your device that is the best way to install play store apps. Installing apps from a browser such as Opera Mini is not recommended. If you don't have the google play store app, you can follow these steps to download and install it:

1) Enable the checkbox at Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources, don't worry about any warnings unless you are not sure about the safety of something you are installing.

2) Open a browser on the device you need to install Play Store on and go to this link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/, you will have to wait 10 seconds before the Download button works

3) Download the latest version unless you have an older android device, and use any file manager to install the file by simply opening it and following the instructions, disregard any warnings. It should be in the .apk format.

**Note: If you have an Android OS before 2.3, you will need to choose an older version and check to make sure it's compatible. For 2.2 refer to this link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-3-7-11-android-apk-download/

4) Simply open the Play Store and follow onscreen instructions to login and start installing those apps!

Google Play Store constantly Force Closes, how do I fix it?

Even still to this day, it happens.
I've figured a temporary solution to fix this issue.

1. Go to settings > apps > manage apps and make sure you are under all apps tab.
2. Find Google play store and force close it. Then select uninstall updates.
3. Go back and scroll down to find Market Updater?... I think is what it is called and select force close.

From now on, only use the Market. The Google Play Store icon may disappear from the apps/app drawer... which is exactly what you want.

Problem solved.

If it ever happens again and Play Store comes up again, just repeat the process. As I said, I believe this fix is only TEMPORARY.
