[HOW TO] View Google Play Account Details - Nexus 7 General

The main reason I started this thread is because I had trouble visiting Google Play without Android automatically opening the app.
To view your account details for Google Play you must click on the link below which will show you your account details, apps, music, books and movies in a list.

Irony, it still opens the play store's front page for me. It's simply set as default.
A good way to open Web pages to services that you permanently linked to an app tho, without clearing defaults, is to open them in a new tab

[Q] Youtube and Picasa issues

I came across a weird error tonight on my Vivid.
I was initially unable to upload any videos to Youtube. I cleared data and logged into the app again several times with no success. Several google searches led me to a solution that basically required me to log in with my youtube username, rather than my google account that was already configured on the phone. However, the most recent youtube app wouldn't allow you to log in with anything other than a google account, so I had to roll back the update. Finally I was able to log in with my youtube username and password.
Now I can upload videos, but when I go to the gallery and switch to just my Picasa albums, I get a sign-in error for my Youtube account. And no matter what I do, I can't upload any pictures to my Picasa account. My albums list won't populate in the uploader drop-down.
This is completely retarded. Basically my google services won't work together on my Android phone and all of my accounts are linked. Seriously? Anyone else having this issue?
TL;DR version: Can only upload to youtube if signed into older version of app with youtube username/password. Can't upload to native Picasa at all (Picasa tool app works). Get sign-in error for Youtube account when I try to view my Picasa albums.

What's in this version:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to them were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.

Google Play Books Library

Does anyone know if I could import my own books to the Google Play Books Library. Is there a hack or a trick? I have a couple epub files and would like to use the native app.
ive just googled this if it helps
Step 1: Log in to your Google account
You must sign in to Google Books using your Google Account in order to add titles to your library or write reviews. Don't have an account? Register for one at http://www.google.com/accounts.
Step 2: Add books to your library
Add a single book: You can add any book in the Google Books index to your library. Just click the Add to bookshelves link, which you'll find on search results pages, the right-hand column of book pages and the 'Overview' page of all titles on Google Books.
The bookshelves that are marked 'public' (with the icon showing two people) will be published online. You can easily change a bookshelf from public to private by clicking on the name of the bookshelf in the left column, then clicking on Options then Edit Properties. When the Edit Properties screen comes up, click the Make private link next to Visibility.
He said his own books; it appears your instructions are for books from Google.
I don't think there is a way to. Unfortunately I have to use the kindle app for that.

[Q] Playstore links in Chrome open in Chrome - not Playstore

I realize this sounds like a generic Android issue versus being specific to the Nexus 6, but I don't see this issue on my other devices (N5, N7, HTC EVO LTE etc), and am wondering if there is something specific to the N6.
Anyway, here's the issue. I opened up the Chrome browser to Androidpolice yesterday, and found playstore links to some apps that I wanted to look at. I clicked on it, and it launched a chrome window for the play store, and let me view everything as expected. I actually didn't even realize that it was a chrome window (looked very similar to Play store app).
The problem is that when I clicked on "Buy" for a paid app, it went ahead without asking me for the password (I've set up Play store app to prompt me for a password for any purchase). That's when I realized that it was a chrome window - not the play store app.
Fine. Should be a simple enough fix - went to settings/app, and looked for Google Play store and looked for the "Clear Defaults" button - but that is grayed out! (I checked Chrome too, and that also had the button grayed out). I cleared cache and data for the Play store app, and tried it again, and it again launched the play store link in Chrome.
TL;DR So, how do I get play store links in chrome window to open up the Play store app instead of another Chrome window? Clear Defaults button is grayed out
Edit: This is the link I was browsing - clicking on any of the apps listed here brings up the play store in a Chrome window - not the play store app
Edit 2: Video highlighting the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Hqd2k0SMo
Just tried your link. Links go directly to play store for me. Do you have any other apps or mods that may be affecting this? I can clear defaults on both chrome and play store as well.
That's what's so weird - those links works just fine on my N5 and N7 too. I'm stock, rooted (no custom recovery yet). Rooted only to install adaway. Other than that, no changes to the system partition.
Here, you can see the issue that I'm talking about - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Hqd2k0SMo
The defaults button is grayed out for Chrome and for Play store, likely because I never set those as default apps for anything. The G+ app has the defaults button enabled because I have it set to open for G+ links.
Short of a full factory reset, any other suggestions?
I have the same issue, but for everything. If I click on a Mega.co.nz link it opens to the browser page asking me to install the app (app is already installed and set up), same for YouTube videos, Play Store links, etc. I tried disabling Google Chrome and installing Chrome Beta, same issue... I'm going to try Firefox and see if it will let me move to other apps from there. VERY FRUSTRATING!

Google Play Synchronization

So I have one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I have successfully installed Google Play, Play Services, Account Managements, and Services Framework and gotten everything to work. One of the games my kids enjoy playing is Disney Crossy Road. I know this is in the Amazon App Store, but one of the issues with it being in Amazon is they don't save progress, plus I use my account across my kids devices. If I make each kid a Google account, they have their own cloud save for the game. I got this all working on my daughter's Fire and it syncs with her Google Play account.
We just recently purchased my son one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I tried to do the same thing for him. I used Method #2 found here: lifehacker[dot]com/how-to-get-google-play-on-a-kindle-fire-and-install-any-1790706649 to install Google Play on his Kindle. I have installed 4 games from Google Play on his Kindle including Tiny Tower, Township, and Disney Crossy Road. I have the settings to allow non-Amazon apps to run. Tiny Tower and Township sync up with his Google Play account with no problem. But his Disney Crossy Road does not sync with Google Play. Google Play says it is installed and I can click the Play button from it and it will open the app, but none of the achievements pop, and when I open it on my daughter's Kindle, in the settings, there is a button with the gamepad icon to show it's synced. I cannot get this icon to show on my son's Fire. I have reinstalled the app 4-5 times and rebooted the tablet. I even tried downloading the app from apkmirror.com to see if that would help, but I cannot get it to work.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get Disney Crossy Road to sync with Google Play? Thanks for your help!
"Google Play" is a whole suite of different apps, not all of which are installed by default when you sideload the "Google Play Store".
Open up the Google Play Store, and search for "Google Play Games". Install that, and see if your games start syncing then?

If you can't install Google Play Games from the Play Store (-505 error) grab a copy from APKMirror and sideload.

Wow, I swore I responded yesterday but I also have Google Play Games installed. I am able to see his achievements for other games through this, that is how I know his other games are syncing properly. Any other ideas?

Not at the individual app level - sorry.
So I was playing around with this a little more and went into the Google Settings app. Inside here, there is a link for the Connected Apps section and I noticed Disney Crossy Road is not here. Any ideas if there is a way through here that I can try to enable the connection?
Thanks again!

The app must request access (typically on initial launch)...and you must grant it. There is no mechanism for auto-authorization or forcing a manual request (obvious acuity implications).
So I got it to work last night! I don't know which of the two things did it, but I reinstalled the app again but this time in game, I set his age to 18. Then from Google Play, I said I wanted to record in game footage. After playing the intro level, it synced with Google Play. For my daughter's Fire,I put her actual age and it worked. That's why I'm not sure which change fixed it, but now it works! Thanks for your help and suggestions!
