[Q] Paid apps on Google Android market - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Early times, when FroYo was on our devices there was a way to browse your paid apps on your Android Market. Name have change and now this Play market do not support it. Even this very new version, what we got.
Am I so stupid that I cannot find my way to search or browse my already paid apps or how you solve this? There would be a opportunity for 3rd part application for this. And best place to give hint is just here, on XDA Developers forum.
Or just give me a link to this app(s), what you have already found.
Uh, I came fast back to write more info. There seems to huge threads about asking lost or missing paid apps when installed a custom ROM. No no, this is not my problem. I can see my paid apps, but there is no search button or value/ string on the list what Google Android Play market order.

Isnt that just:
Open play store > Press menu button > My apps?

Google Android Play market | search for paid apps?!

In my case it shows just the apps, what I have installed to my phone.
I am looking a way how to search my paid apps on Google Play market. Or an app, what can do the same.
If you mean above PC browser case, then I get huge numbers of apps. First are apps currently installed on my phone. It means the Android OS or firmware version what I am currently using. Below - early firmwares - is the list of all apps what I have tryed, uninstalled etc. and the list is so huge that in my case it could show only start from A to letter E only. So, if my paid app start with letter F - Z, I cannot see anymore it. And browsing between A to E is terrible story too.
If Google Play market have similar value like File Managers have: name, day, type, size etc. it could easy to find your paid apps. Or a search manager or similar.

The Play Market is just crap when it comes to things like this. Several major tech sites have commented upon it, but Google seems to have no intention whatsoever to fix it.

Now, swipe screen left.

In Gmail usually they will send the Google Play receipt #s of all the purchases you made.

I think you do not know what you are about talking. Your guide just show what apps you have installed on your phone: freeware, shareware, n day trial and PAID apps. I am talking PAID apps. And the only place you can find them is here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transactions
Try first and reply after if you don't believe me.

[Q] Update sideloaded App via market. Possible?

My Cappy is rooted running Cognitive 4.1. I applied the SGS tool fix to Market and I have app that I outside the market (sideloaded, applanet, browser, etc. etc).
1) Market may update the app if they see it. What if they not? Read elsewhere that there is an app for that, but don't want to add another up to keep market working
2) Market will not update keys of sideloaded apps, is there a remedy for that?
3) I applied sgs fix to the market, how I know that I am seeing all the market now?
Thanks
use the program "MCleaner" from the market. it works for FREE apps only, there is NO WAY to add PAID apps to the market list if you sideloaded them.

delete purchases from google market account

i have some free purchases in my google market account that i want to remove so my account looks "TIDY".
i downloaded them i tried them and now i dont use them so i want to be removed
can i do that? how?
I think so, your purchased apps will be saved to your Google account so you can always install them again whenever you get a new android phone. However I'm not really sure...
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
yes they are saved to my google account and they are too many because i have been playing too much lately testing the apps.
but now i want to remove some i dont use from my google account
i don't think there is a way to remove them from your google account.
i have a further problem with my google market account.. i'm unable to browse my apps after the 10th page.. it's a known problem and hasn't been fixed for a while =\
I think its ridiculous not to be able to remove them just like itunes.
I want just to keep the apps i only work.

Hello!
I never tried it, but Titanium Backup Pro offers a feature called "destroy market link" - maybe that is what you’re looking for !?!

nah doesn't clear it from market.
sometimes i dont get it. the android programmers how they are thinking!!!
is it so difficult to put an "X" button to delete an app.
my market account is full of bull**** apps i dont use and i have to see them every time i go to my account!
YES itunes is a ****ty application when i first used it. but now after 2.5 years of use is far away from the competitors!
inside itunes is my music,apps,videos. i dont have to look around to find them. all of them is inside this app!

Hi,
It only removes the link app <> market. He's asking to have it removed from his account.

indeed so....
It doesn't seem to be possible, on Google Wallet there is no option to delete an app without refund.
paid apps can only be deleted by the developer or google after the 15 minute refund window.
to get rid of those, best you can do is ask the dev directly for a refund.
free apps you only have to uninstall.
once they are uninstalled they should be gone after you re-open the market app once or twice.
if this doesn't happen you're out of luck, the market account is bugged on your phone and you probably have to do a factory restore to fix it(and you can't restore a titanium backup for market/account related apps/settings!)
sorry i didnt mean for paid apps.
i mean for free apps that i tried them and i delete them in my phone.
i dont want to appear in my account library when i login from my computer browser (not in phone).

try uninstalling play store updates see if that removes it .... if so you can disable updates through TB i think?

remove google settings app
For those of you who prefer not to be sheep going to slaughter.
I unistalled google play services and that removed it from the phone. Not sure what else will be affected but I am still able to download/install apps from play store. I figure I may miss the next version of play store that comes out. Better than them sneaking stuff in. You may find the actual apk inside the google play directories. Please post if you do.
Also if anyone has ever figured out how to disable E911. If you dont want to disable yours that fine. STFU because your input is not needed ok. I dont want it on, period!!!
For the rest go ahead and follow the heard. [sheep noises....lol] !

Google Play Store and Goggle Play Services are not related. But it was a clever move with the names.
Google Play Services are the core to a host of future functions, especially to apps relating to social contacts, location related services and in particular (paid) games playing. Also, as many have detected already, with the 3. party sign-in control Google is able to watch and possibly control to whom and how you have contact with.
If you de-install Google Services, it will be auto re-installed in shortest time again in the backgound. If you happen to be on mobile data at that time, the bill is on you. If you disable or freeze Google Play Services, it will not be auto re-enabled. At least not as of now. But some functions of the phone and some Google apps like Hangout are made dependant on Goggle Play Services. So there function will cease.
More and more people are disgruntled about the way Google is doing things now. It is absolutely Googles own thing what apps they want to develop, and what functions they want to implement. But shoving down apps onto my property without my consent is not acceptable to me.
The people are not sheeps bcs they are forced to have things installed things they don't fully understand. I believe that many simply don't think twice, if something is (superficially) free, The strategies of companies like Goggle build on that fact.
Yep, it reinstalled. I will freeze it. But the sheep are the people that say one should accept it, or come back with tin foil comments etc. Those are sheep. I agree why force it on people? Esp from software the is supposed to be opensource. As one person posted somewhere it also redundant.
I know what you mean and I share your resentments. Albeit I fear there is nothing much we can do.
Google makes more and more Android functions depend on Google Play Service being on, and up to date. Just recently I registered that Calendar synchronisation now does not work with this "Services" disabled.
Unless someone makes a hacked version of that skunk.

[Q] Amazon App

I have a quick question for my fellow Verizon S6 Edge users.
I use the Amazon app quite a bit and when going in to actually use it for the first time today it didn't open. So, I went on the Google Play store to see if there was an update or something, and to my surprise I didn't see it in my list of installed apps?!?!? Went into my application manager and it's definitely installed. I went to uninstall it and reinstall and of course it was one of the preinstalled apps and can only be disabled... So, after disabling I go into the play store and search Amazon to find "Amazon Shopping" app and it was the only one there for the actual store. Now, is that a new app from Amazon??? The self titled "Amazon" app is no longer even on the app store, yet it sits installed on my phone but disabled.
Just wanted to know if the main Amazon app works for you guys, or if you now have to Amazon apps because the first no longer works. Trying to see if it's just me or not.
I've rebooted, but since it's a preinstalled app that's not working... I'm not sure what else I can do if it's something I'm doing wrong. Wiped data in the application manager, re-enabled all the amazon apps that were pre installed to see if that helped and nothing. Just think it's weird that it doesn't even show up when searching for it in the app store, just the "Amazon Shopping" app shows up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Works fine for me, ive updated to current version and have purchased with it etc....

Hmm, weird. Well I went on APKMirror.com and got the latest Amazon apk and updated it that way and it worked, that app that is... it still didn't show up in my app store for updates and what not. Also, it seems that because I have android wear installed it's giving me the "Amazon Shopping" app. They both work the same but with one exception, the shopping version works with a smart watch with some sort of voice commands. Just didn't want both installed if they did the same thing, no need for wasted space.
Thanks!

I noticed when I opened Amazon for the first time on this phone it made me log in through the Amazon App Store, which was strange to me. After I logged in through the App Store, the regular Amazon App updated and then it worked.

The pre-installed Amazon app is the "complete" version which you can't get through Google Play store due to Google changing the rules last fall. See here http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ay-store-because-of-its-appstore-integration/ But you can still get it directly from Amazon and still kept up to date by Amazon.
The only app in the Play store itself is shopping only, hence the name.

Google Play apps on child profile

Is it possible to share apps installed via the Google Play Store with a child profile? They work fine on my main (adult) profile, but I can only figure out how to share apps installed via the Amazon store with a child profile.

Now that we have root, you can download your app, back it up with titanium backup, then re-install it your child's profile.

Before parting with the £4 for the pro version, will this definitely work? The Child Profile on the Amazon Fire looks heavily locked down and doesn't appear to use a normal launcher. I'm after getting Kodi on to the kids profiles but not having much luck so far. I'm rooted already and using Google Now as my launcher on the adult profiles.
Thanks

It is easily possible like this:
Install CM 12.1 --> Flash Gapps (Pico .zip) or install Amazon Appstore --> Install any/all apps you want --> Now go to settings app and create your childs profile --> Check any apps you want to share with your childs profile --> boot into kids profile --> PROFIT!

Are you able to get the app to "lock" so the kid can't just hit the home button and it exits the app?
I've tried a few different apps and they all require you to enable "Apps with usage access" in order to lock them, which you can't seem to access on the Fire.

Any way to do this with out flashing CM? Not possible on current 5.1.1 yet and really don't want to change it on my kids tablet. I see TiBu on the Amazon Store (but doesn't look like the real Dev and it costs $). I got them loaded on the adult profile, and I really don't want him to waste his time gaining levels again. Thanks.
---Just an FYI the Titanium Backup on the Amazon store seems legit (but my previous key didn't work with it). Still no luck because you cant restore without changing the settings to allow instillation from unknown sources which you cant do in the Kids Mode.
Also curious on installing Google play apps on kids profiles
Lollipop launcher works quite well. You can determine which apps to show in the drawer and lock down the main screen.

I tried it, but now Amazon doesn't allow you to change the launcher so the option to "lock" the home button doesn't work. It still works, but it shows an "action forbidden" screen, the shows the home screen for a few seconds, then re-launches the app. It's not an ideal solution, because a quick thinking youngster can simply launch the settings app in this interim period, and then go uninstall the app.
I just want to get YouTubeKids on my kids' profiles, but I'm not going to go through rooting etc. just for one app. For now, if they want to watch YouTubeKids, it must be at home where I can monitor it and I just log into my own profile and launch it.
I assume that it has something to do with those apps being linked somehow to amazon's app store, so if you figure out how to do that, then it may work.

i haven't, but the root process is quite simple - and is much better than worrying about amazon's lousy launcher. especially since it still shows my wife's trashy books along with my kids books.
