Get Back Paid Apps - HD7 General

I bought a game off of the market and the my HD7 had to be replaced.
How do I get this game back?

When you set up your windows id on the phone, as long as it is the same one as the original, it should automatically find/install any paid apps.If it doesn't search the market place for it and click buy, it should then tell you that the app has been purchased and would you like to install it again.
Hope this helps.

to elaborate further:
If you bought the app using the zune desktop client, it will autoinstall when you sync the device the first time.
If you bought it straight from the phone then you need to find it in marketplace and click on "buy" like stated above and it should let you install it again for free.
I have discussed this with zune devs and they are working on a better solution (being able to manage apps through zune).

Workaround for paid apps?

Hello,
I live in Poland and we still can't buy paid android apps, which really p*sses me off. Is there an alternative way to buy from the market? I don't want to use pirated software.
Pretty sure if you email the Dec of app you want they will work something out with you. Also try market enabler

Root phone, install Market Enabler which will allow your phone to pretend that it is in a different market (ie one with paid apps available). Works great. I am in Canada, which does not have paid apps yet, and use it to buy apps. This was the main reason I rooted my phone.
I live in Norway and we don't have access to paid apps yet.
I did install Market Enabler, and got access, but when I'm buying, after I've input credicard information, nothing happens. The phone tries to connect and eventually I get an errormessage that a connection could not be etablished (or something in that effect)
I chose Market Enabler 3 (beta) as I'm using a Hero ROM. (Old version does not work), and I choose o2 (de) as provider.
Any tips?
tried using Slideme, it is an alternative market that works outside of the android market.
Thanks for the replies! I rooted my phone finally (using flashrec) and by the way updated to some hero ROM (myhero-1.1.1 to be exact) and used Market Enabler. Works really well so far, I haven't had time to try to actually purchase anything yet, but I can see paid apps now.
I love the HTC Sense look and feel, but I there are some bugs that weren't present in the vanilla magic (skippy music, worse jabber integration, etc).
It's amazing how easy it is to root and flash your phone these days, I remember last time I was thinking about it the howto scared the hell out of me. And I'm a developer (just a lazy one).
Just purchased my frist app on Android Market
There was one issue, maybe this will help someone: When I entered my credit card details on my phone it didn't work - there was some kind of server error. I had to go to google checkout using browser on my computer, enter my cc details and then I was able to buy apps off android market.

Try setting up your Google checkout account using a PC based browser. Once you do that you should only be shown the price and have to confirm to buy.
That worked for me.

[Q] Marketplace - What happens after phone is reset?

Has anyone reset or replaced their (faulty) phones yet? What happens to the apps you've downloaded from Marketplace?
I have a few questions:
1. Are they automatically re-installed or do you have to do it manually?
2. Does it show you a history of the apps you've installed?
I suspect my phone has a fault and I will be sending it back for a replacement, should I be keeping a list of any apps I install or will market place do all this for me?
I have a mixture of paid and fee apps on my phone.
Thanks.
I literally just swapped out an hour ago. When I entered my live ID, the apps I had downloaded came back onto the phone. Nice feature....
Thanks this is very encouraging!
As a windos mobile user, I'm really having to eat my hat. Marketplace is impressing me more every time I use it.
I have been on Blackberry, iPhone and Android on various phones for the past 18 months and I have to say I am impressed as well... its missing some apps (evernote, dropbox and a skype solution) but I know those will come soon.
I really hope this OS gets some real momentum...
i hope it too
I've reset my hd7 twice (for testing purposes not due to faults), the apps I had didn't auto-download, they were listed as purchased and available to re-download. Which would seem a more normal behaviour.

There is a VOIP application currently on WP7.
Its called Voxofon and you can view a video demo here.

Mine also didn't auto re-install when I went from the prototype device to my developer's HD7 would have been nice to have the option.

Me too. swapped my phone due to a suspected hardware fault. Apps didn't auto-download.
Its been suggested that applications downloaded directly on the phone wont auto install, but those purchased via the zune desktop software will.

I take back everything I said!!!!
I have had my new phone for 24 hours now. Up until my last post nothing had downloaded. I left Marketplace open on my phone and left it and went away. 4 hours later all the I had previously installed had automatically downloaded!!!
I'm really impressed. I think you have to launch marketplace and then leave it a while for it download the apps.
Will leave the games hub open to see if any games download back onto my phone

You are correct...they do not download. If, IF you purchased your apps on your PC from Zune, those apps will download.
You can also find all the apps you purchased in the Zune software on the PC....Settings, Account, Purchse History. phone. This is not actionable...but at least the list of apps is there.
I had the same experience -- was confused why only a couple of apps redownloaded, and I had to grab the rest myself.
What I do miss is a list of 'purchased apps' in the marketplace on the phone itself. I can't remember them all!
I guess if I have to reset again, I'll just add all my 'purchased' apps to zune desktop. And, I guess, should I ever actually pay for an app, do that via Zune Desktop too...

Unable to access MarketPlace from India

I have a HD7 purchased in India. I am unable to access the marketplace. I thought WP7 market place is available in India. Same goes with Xbox Live also

Hi,
If WP7 was not official launched in India you cannot access those features.
You must create or change your Windows Live account to a region that has WP7 official (UK, USA, Spain, Germany)
Thanks
Had the same issue.
So I have 1 official live account with India region(which I will use when WP7 releases world wide)
and an unofficial live account I currently use for downloading free apps.This one uses the address of a US Mc. Donalds outlet in Bethesda .
Cheers.
Have the same problem.
Can you provide a small guide as to how to go about it.
Btw is it possible to have to live accounts on the same phone?
Also I have already activated the phone with India all over.. so do i have to reset it to enter the fake ID?
Thanks in advance..
I just mailed HTC India regarding it since its now officially available moreover I bought the product with a 1 year warranty.
We can do this without creating ( and wasting time ) a US account
Use regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
You will find 3 keys in it
Apps
Marketplace
singInavailable
in all those key values add IN for example
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NZ,SG,US,IN
Launch Zune. Now you will be able to see marketplace. You can make purchase with your credit card , download free apps / games.
Only catch is : after we sync it with zune , registry value changes. You might have to redo this stuff. But the advantage is that when the marketplace is launched in india it will be seemless integration.
Hi asksaravana,
Your tips was truely helpful. I could download some useful apps from the marketplace.
I recently bought a T-Mobile handset HTCHD7 from US.
I want to use it India. Unfortunately all the T-Mobile applications are US specific.
Is there any ways to get Airtel specific applications?
Regards,
Ram.

This works, but now some of the downloaded applications have new versions. How to update them. Marketplace in phone shows 10 updates, but when you click, it gives errors that not available in your country/region.
Found a way to update installed applications on phone.
Install marketplace browser.
Search for the installed application in marketplace browser.
Once you open the application page, you will see update button if there is a new version for the installed app.
Click update and update all your apps one by one.
Marketplace thru Wifi / GPRS
Hey guys, just reached this thread, is there a way any one figured out to get marketplace working either by wifi or gprs / 3G
Coz trying to browse the market from the phone shows " Not Available on your Region" - Zune works perfect.
Regards,

Solution Found for Marketplace in india
open up zune.
create a new live account from within zune. select location as US.
it will automatically sign you in .
go to your control panel - region and language.
set the location to US under the location tab.
apply the registry hack as mentioned in the above posts.
restart zune.
you can access apps , music, videos . podcasts in marketplace now.
i have been doing this.works all the time.
( you need to change the registry settings everytime before opening zune. or create a registry and that will make everything little easy )
have fun
So is Marketplace still not available in India?
I just switched to Windows Phone. I even bought an app using an Indian account and an Indian credit card. However, the only way I can access Marketplace is by making the registry changes. I can't access it in my phone.
I just uninstalled an app and I have no idea how to re-install it. Can anyone help?

[Q] Help. Android market wants me to rebuy applications i already bought on my phone

I already own an android phone and bought a bunch of applications. I just rooted and installed the market on my nook using the same email address that is on my phone. For some reason the market on my nook wont let me download my paid apps without buying them again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried redoing it and I have the same problem. Does this happen to anyone else? Does everyone else have access to their paid apps without having to pay for them again?
I didn't have to rebuy my apps. But market has been updated since I installed them. Maybe a newer version of market changed something.
It really doesn't make any sense. Its definitely the same account. It has my credit card information filled out already. I even tried buying an app i bought previously, just to see if that would jog it. It didn't work. It charged me and i had to refund it. I really don't know what else to try.
Nope, all of mine show up as "Purchased". Every time this question comes up it's always usage of the same account, but you say that's already been checked..
Good luck.
Thanks. It has to be the same acount or else all of my redit card information wouldn't bebon there. All of my android market reciepts go to this accout also.
Try visiting this page https://market.android.com/account and see a list of your purchased apps.
Standalone web site should be more reliable, than an app, hacked in a stock firmware, which kinda doesn't support google apps.

Now I'm more worried. The site you linked to doesn't have any record of my purchases either. My google checkout account under the same name, however, does have records of all of my purchases. Have any idea what i should do now?
did you paid the app with credit card or by carrier billing? Maybe it change something?

I always pay with credit card.
Does google have some form of actual support other than the forum?
I have nookie froyo on her now. Same exact problem. This is bull**** and definitely on googles end. When are they going to get a customer support line? I've never seen another company that charges actually money like google does in the market without having a customer support line. I'm sure whatever is causing this will cause problems if I ever get another android phone in the future.
Having the same trouble here
What kind of android phone do you have? Is it using a custom rom? I'm thinking that the problem isn't with the nook at all. It's with our other devices not registering with the market properly.
It's as I suspected. I flashed my phone back to stock and I can't redownload any applications either. My whole market account got wiped somehow.
same issue here, totally different tablet BTW (samsung galaxy tab). Same thing - I wiped and flashed a ROM (ironically, same ROM!) and afterwards all my paid apps are being asked to repurchase when I hit install. Similarly in the web market it says I don't own any apps....
I am able ot restore my apps via titanium and hilariously all licence checks for programs that implement them e.g. titanium, worms etc. continue to work thank god but Goog better fix this sh-t real quick. I have >50 paid apps so this is really really bugging me out (plus now I'm afraid to do any more flashing/tweaking)
Do you have the backup, OP?
If so, just run it instead of redownload from Play
Sure you used the same google account?

Find the apps we have paid on WP7

Hi
One year ago, i discovered WP7 with a omnia, and this, for almost 4 months.
I left for android waiting for the os to develop itself and now i'm back with a Lumia 800.
i would like to know how could i find back and download easily all the apps i paid before, cause it's like a undred euros minimum ?? (indeed i used my email account i had to buy all these apps.)
Thx for help!!
EDIT: found an app on marketplace: "reinstaller"
login, wait the scan of your account, select your apps, and install. Hope it's gonna help. Thread to close )
You can download the apps which you have purchased before by clicking on the button "purchase".If you have forgotten,the app "Reinstall" might help you.
