That is the Android version, 4.0.4, your phone is on... Ice Cream Sandwich.

but when i open playstore settings version is 4.1.6

That is the version number of the Play Store.

why is this ?

Because one is an Android Firmware version... and the other is the Play Store app version.


The latest Play Store version is 4.1.10 which is rolling out now or can be downloaded here:-

Google Play Store 4.1.10 update rolling out now, fixes battery drainage issues [DOWNLOAD]

So I'm not the only one.

When I'm on my HP Touchpad(I ran both Evervolv and Schizoid ROM, both 4.2.2) but Play Store says that I'm on 1.5 Cupcake.

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood the thread title.

I thought that you are running 4.1.2 but Play Store says your android version is incompatible with the app.
Nevermind this post.
