Debug Android app installation errors?

From my application on the Android Market (Google Play), I sometimes get reports from people trying to download it, but it doesn't install. Things like: "There has been problem installing on my deviceX".

I can get very little information from this, and the user probably doesn't get it either. How do I get more relevant information about this, and why is it failing for them (what's a known installation problem)?

You can ask the user with the crashing app to install a android logcat catcher app and mail you the installation result. For details see send-logcat-output-of-an-app-to-an-emailadress

There's generally somewhat useful information in the logcat when this happens- you could try getting them to use the logcat application and sending you the log.
