AppBrain sync

I have noticed, happily, that apps I have purchased for my EVO are still paid for and available for use with my tab. I have been using AppBrain instead of Titanium to put my apps back on after a ROM flash.
Can I sync my tab without effecting the list of what is on my phone? I guess I could go the Ti route but I kinda like not have another backup saved on my card (in addition to one saved in recovery).

I've synced my phone and my tablet with AppBrain and have not noticed any problems or missing apps or the like.

Outta curiosity, can you check the AppBrain website and see if shows a separate list for the tab?
Thanks!

Hey gents. Just wanted to say how much I'm loving this G Tablet first off.
But I just wanted to leave a little tip you may have used. If you enable Fast Web Install in AppBrain, you'll be able to search the entire marketplace and install apps that even don't show up in the Android Marketplace after the fix.
For example, I used it to install Vplayer Alpha as I prefer it to Rockplayer just bit. I couldn't find it in the Android Marketplace and I wasn't too sure about the APK file I downloaded to sideload.
Luckily, Fast Web Installer + AppBrain = No need for Android Marketplace.

@goalweiser - I see VPlayer Beta (I think it's no longer Alpha) in Market currently, after my extended Market Fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044), although I've made a few additional tweaks to build.prop now so not certain it will be there for you.
But thanks for sharing the AppBrain Fast Web Installer tip, I wasn't aware of that one.

Thanks for the tip on the Beta...need to update! It was updated on my Evo and I didn't even notice.
That said, my AppBrain account doesn't necessarily seem to be syncing both ways. I can't seem to get the same apps on both my Evo and GTab without downloading them manually.
I'll probably just create another account for the GTab all together.

I see both my Evo and my GTab separately within the same gmail account logged into AppBrain... Look on the left-hand side, they group them according to device.

[Q] Full Android Market?

My NC is auto-nootered running the newer Market and I love it.
But I hate that I can't get all the normal apps via Market. Amazon and Trillian are the two I've noticed so far. Amazon is only for the US Market, so I had to download an APK for it that won't update. As for Trillian, I can't even find a an up-to-date APK.
I've tried Market Enabler, which hasn't done a damned thing. I can see both Amazon and Trillian with AppBrain, but when I click Market it just says that the target couldn't be found.
How can I/we get access to these apps, installed via a real Market so they can update? I'm fine paying USD$4.99 for Trillian.
Thanks all.

You have to install AppBrain and Fast Web Installer from the market on your Nook. Run Fast Web Installer once and click "Allow" -- You can then find and install the protected apps using appbrain.com (not the app). Then go into the AppBrain app and sync then install the protected app on the Nook.

"Google has made fast web install impossible in the latest upgrade of the Android market, which is installed on your device."
So ... I guess this can only be done with the older Market app? That's a shame, but better than not being able to use those apps I suppose.
Will the apps be able to update themselves if I install them this way? Or will I have to go back to the website every time?

[Q] Unable to download from market with 3G

I have the Droid 3 and recently updated to 5.6.890.XT862 before the push and now unable to download anything from the Android Market only using 3G. I get the orange triangle stating : Download size requires Wi-Fi. Does not matter size of download.
I am able to download via Amazon appstore with 3G. Also once connected to Wi-Fi downloads work fine.
Any suggestions? is this a glitch with the S/W update?
Thanks

Settings > Battery & data manager > Data Saver, turn it off

I love it when its something dumb that I did. Thanks for the help.

I am also on a "pre released" .890 update and now the Market doesn't inform me of app updates.
I was browsing the market last night and noticed at least 5 app updates on my own. Every app was checked for automatic updating, and I checked my Market settings and the "Notifications" check box is absolutely checked! WTF.

That's been happening to me lately. I read about a google maps update and when I went to "My Apps" it didn't have any update available. I had to search for google maps then it had the update tab. It has done this on about 3-4 apps so far that I've noticed.
edit: I just noticed that I can't install any of my paid apps in the market unless I uninstall the market app update and install everything that I want until the market updates itself. I have no custom rom, latest .890, and rooted (no apps deleted/frozen). Any idea's?
edit 2: I turned off my wifi and market is working fine on 3g. I can download paid apps over wifi with older market app but not new market. I can download free apps from the market with wifi on. Weird?

I use a supplemental market called appbrain... A lot of times, I notice when I open that, it finds updates that the gmarket either normally wouldn't have found, or is just slow about doing it's job... :/

Paid Apps Will No Longer Download From Market

Hi
Up until yesterday, apps, whether paid or free would download fine on my device. Nothing has changed my end, but today, paid apps will no longer download (free apps download fine). There are two issues, the authorising payment page takes eons (used to be instant), and the phone sits on the 'starting download' or 'downloading...' pages for ever without ever actually downloading the app that I have paid for. Issue is present whether I initiate the download from the phone or from a PC.
Obviously, this makes the phone next to useless. I have no time to wipe/re-install the phone - especially since this may not even fix the issue!
I can find no 'report an issue' link at google's market to get support on this issue. The apps purchased are past the refund window.
I have tried all the various fixes I found on google (start google talk, kill cache/app settings for market and downloader), try another internet connection, restart phone blah blah, nothing has worked.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Nigel

Paid apps that had previously been installed and then removed will re-install fine... I can only assume that its the authorisation thats failing (nothing wrong with any of the cards on my google wallet account).
Nigel

Go to setting - application - manage - All - market - clear cache n Data
do same for talk (google talk)
first login to talk then market
In market application - check setting - accout - Fix default if you have multiple acc

Hi
As mentioned in my original post. I already tried that. I just tried it again with the same result.
After having done the above, I tried to buy the app from my PC, Got the following message 'Your order is still being processed. Your item will become available as soon as your order is complete. If you'd like, you can check your order status at anytime.' which is not the norm. Clicking the link within the message takes me to the transaction in google wallet which is listed as 'complete' unfortunately, the download does not auto-start (like it used to) on the phone, and when I force it to manually start, It goes to the 'starting download...' message. The app never does download, market app just displays this message forever more until I go and 'clear data' for the market app.
I give up! Looks like I am stuck with what I have on the phone + whatever I can get for free.
Have emailed google, will update thread should they bother to respond.
Market version is 3.4.4 | Download Manager is 2.3.5

Have you vosited web version of market?
Market.android.com login with google acc.
You will see your purchased appl there, if u can see there, click on install from there, it will start installing to ur device remotely
Try it

Hi
Yep, tried that - does not work. I can initiate the installation of free apps from the market on a pc, but not paid apps. The paid app I am trying to install is listed as having been successfully purchased. Looks like a bug/glitch, but one I am going to have to wait for google to fix.

Do you have the Amazon app market installed?

This issue seems to be with KL3 onwards and region or could be csc dependent, the only fix for this is to use the older market version the 2.6.x

try going into recovery mode and choose fix permission

Hi
Well, I got an auto response from google 'we are looking into it', but no emails since. Tried again this morning, and everything just started working again. Whether this was an issue with the market, my market account, my google wallet account etc is unknown.
I'd like to know the reason so I can fix it if it happens again, but at least its now working again.
@ericshmerick: Nope, no amazon app market. I don't believe this works in the UK
Nigel

The exact same thing is happening to me were you able to eventually get the apps you purchased its been about two days and the problem persists I have filed a support case with Google happening on two phones and a tablet ans the web market through a PC isn't working either. It seems to get stuck at authorizing the payment .

This was a big problem two weeks ago. I think the CheckROM guys figured out how to fix it. Their forum has a nice FAQ at the start. Have a look there. If that doesn't help then wade through the Rocket forum.

[Q] App Updates All Missing

XT1097 - AT&T Version. When I go to My Apps in Play Store it only shows an update for an app if I've previously downloaded that app manually. Otherwise I have to search out the app, but when I find it it does show an update available in both the search list and when I click on the app. Example, I had not previously downloaded Hangouts and so it did not show under the update available section or all section under my apps, but when I search "Hangouts" it shows update instead of free in search list, and update and open as options when I click on it.
Finding this weird, I reset the phone and logged into another google account where I had never downloaded any android apps.... and the phone showed exactly zero updates available. Same thing happens whether I check immediately on reset phone (before new version of play store is installed) and after play store has been updated.
I ended up just manually searching through all apps by name, and then every google made and motorola made apps and it found 40 total updates (up from 13 from my first account, and zero with my second account)
Any idea whats going on here? Shouldn't all apps that have updates available show under my apps whether I have ever manually downloaded them or not?

So let me reduce my question then: if an android phone comes pre installed with an app that your google account has never downloaded, should the phone show an update for that app under my apps without manually searching?

Yes, it should... BUT... It seems that all of moto's apps are strangely exempt from that rule.
