Alright Fellas:
Before gettitng trounced I want to let everyone know that I did my search on the forum as well as all over the internet to get guidance and finally have to break down and just ask the question.
I have the latest firmware on my Gear with Nova Luancher running fine. But I have the paid version from the Playstore and for the life of me I cannnot figure out how to get the paid version onto my watch. I know how to do port over APKs via the ADB process. SO I looked into APK Downloader and other apps to get the Play store app over. But those vehicles do not handle paid apps, even tho I have paid for the app.
SO, can anyone help me figure out how to get the app from the Playstore onto my watch. I do not know how to do tethering and perhaps that is the way to go. I am open to suggestions
Do a trial of wondershare mobilgo for android. Google it and u will be uploading pass to Gear in no time.

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.

i did this and it doesn't work in Sweden...
Yep no pay apps on the market not even if I scan a QR code wont let me see it any ideas on how to fix this...?
Google has not opened the Paid apps market to the whole world but only to a limited number of countries. It's annoying, I know.
If you still would like to see and purchase the paid apps, you must root your phone first and then install the application called Market Enabler and it will make some changes to fool Big G that you're from US on Tmobile networks and eventually open up the app store.
Theres still an other option. Find paid apps through other means, purchase through the developer's own site so they give you an .apk installer for manual installation. This method is the only option left if you don't want to root your phone like me.

"Long Press" the provider you want to fake. Make sure you have the latest beta version from the developers googlecode home page.
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).
For ages now, my play store has not been working, and now I've reached my tolerance limit for I need flashfire to update to lollipop
3 weeks ago my friend told me he knows a way for me to keep my paid apps but get refunded as I just purchased poweramp. I was rooted so I gave him my phone. He told me he was going to install MOD EDIT and then modded play store. I have no idea what either do and I'm not concerned for what they do but when he did it, google play store was completely wiped off my device due to some form of error. I tried to install via apk, it lets me open the app but when google play tries to install or update, it crashes, and after placing vending.apk in my system apps folder, still occurs. Google play can't even open. Just crashes after clicking the app.:crying:
Any suggestions?
I'd also be great full if someone could provide me with a flashfire apk if possible
I managed to get the apk for flashfire, updated to lollipop and everything was fixed.
Lol:fingers-crossed::good:

Installing a paid app the getting refunded but keeping the app is stealing the devs work and don't deserve the work being stolen

While I agree with your sentiment, I doubt that was worth a report. He wasn't asking for help to pirate a program, he was asking how to undo what his friend did to his phone.
Personally, I would reinstall kit kat from a backup before your friend put illegal stuff on the phone. If you don;t have a backup I'd install the rooted image and start from scratch.

Theft is theft
Even mentioning "the app that shall go nameless" here is a no-no, even though the OP seemed to be genuinely seeking help...the fact that he claims to have figured out how to keep his stolen things is all the more reason to close this thread and provide a stern warning for anyone reading that using software such as the aforementioned is ultimately hurting this community and the developers who work on things for our devices. Keep talk about it, whether seeking help or not, off of our forums.
Thanks.
Gee, I cannot wait until all the senior members rip me a new one and say "if you'da just searched _____ you'd find it" or something similar I'm not THAT dumb, I DO perform some research to the best of my ability, but not all the time do I find exactly what I'm looking for, so please, just save it for a rainy day people...
THE QUESTION THOUGH:
Through XDAs homepage I noticed there's many posts for APKs being released for apps (mainly through APK Mirror)
What I am trying to find out is:
1) Since most of the APKs I am interested in are just more current/updated versions of their Play Store counterparts (ie - Facebook that I have currently is version 33.xxx.xxx downloaded from Play Store yet version 35.xxxx is available through APK Mirror) do I have to manually keep sideloading APKs in order to update these apps or will they self-update somehow?
2) Spotify is another example I have in question - if I uninstall it from my phone (nexus 6) then download and install the APK from APK MIrror does Play Store register that I have it installed on my phone and list it under "My Apps" and update it when the Play Store version that's available surpasses my sideloaded APK version?
I appreciate all your assistance.

first off, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into the general section.
if you install an app not from the play store, then you have to keep updating it that way. only if you install through tbe play store will the play store see your app, and let you update it.

You could just say "I've searched and couldn't find an answer" rather than being confrontational.

If the app fingerprint matches, it will show in play. It probably won't let you update it though. For example I bought office suite pro from Amazon. It shows me that its installed in play but I can only update via amazonm
thank you.

I suppose beginning my question as I did was indeed confrontational, however, I felt as if I needed to because there's ALWAYS someone there to make people feel like garbage for asking questions and since I'm new I felt as if I needed to defend myself beforehand.

And unfortunately they are right most of the time though putting people down isn`t intended i`am sure, thats how you experience it. You turn to people with a question who read up and aquire some skills during time and you defend yourself by saying i`am new here and did almost no research to find the answer to my question. You cannot tell me that on the WWW there isn`t an answer too your question

Here's a question along those lines - You update say GP Maps thru apkmirror. That's the same sig as in the store, my question is if one "pre-loads" it from the APK by sideloading, and it shares the same signature, why later on would I receive another "update" within GPS for it for the version I already installed by APK?
That would lead me to believe the sig's are not exact.
