[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?

[Q] Can't install World Of Goo

Hey everyone,
I tried to buy World Of Goo on the market today, but have been struggling with it! I manage to successfully buy it, but when downloading I get told that I have "insufficient space". The way I understand it, this is likely due to the 30mb limit imposed by the Galaxy S? This may be completely wrong, but after a brief search that appears to be my problem. I've tried the following:
1) Wiping cache (no change)
2) Wiping Dalvik-cache (no change)
3) Rolling back to Market 2.3.6 (didn't even give me an error, just didn't download)
4) A script which created a larger virtual cache (script ran into an error and didn't run)
5) Any combination of the above you can think of
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try next? The demo installed and ran beautifully, I was really excited to play the full version!

World of Goo and 30MB limit on Market
Hi,
Same problem here... I do remember that AirAttack HD had the same problem - it was sold in two parts but afterwards Dev did something so that the package would be down-loadable on SGS via Android Market. At this point I have only found demo apk and it installs correctly (outside Market), but I would like to purchase full version and RUN IT.
Demo works fast and flawlessly.
I have a strange idea - buy a full version on web Andorid Market, find a full game apk and then connect it to Market via "Market Doctor" in Titanium Backup...

Just tried to buy it on the web-based market, but it says it's incompatible. Besides, that's a bit too close to piracy

Answer...
Well I did change my JVS to CyanogenMOD 7.1 and it works... I was able to buy World of Goo in the Market, it works...

Yes, CM7 doesn't have that issue. There are also successful ways of creating a temporary virtual cache big enough to handle the size. And like someone else said, if you buy the app, download a pirated older version, use Titanium Backup if you need to link it to the market, and then update it to the proper version in the market. It may seem like piracy, but if you're paying for the app this will work.

I had this problem but have now installed the game. I was already on Simplicity ROM and had the Semaphore kernel installed, this has an add on that allows virtual 50Mb cache. This didn't help in the Market though.
I had to go to their own website and buy it with Paypal, then getting emailed a link for download. Great game!

Same Here
I'm so pissed! I should have known better than to order a game this big off the Android Market. I ordered the game using my PC and I thought the game was going to be sent to my phone straight from 2D boys because that's what my order e-mail said.
But then I got an error message from the market telling me the "not enough space" crap. I bought the game! Then insult to injury, I discovered that I could have bought the game directly from 2d Boys off their web site. They are set up now for Android phone orders! I e-mailed them and hope to hear back soon. I told them that they are going to be flooded with complaints because the market is broken.

Same problem here, I have tried everything that is mentioned in the first post without success, however I was playing the demo past week in MIUI without a problem, now I'm on CM 7.1 final. I sent an email to the support address but there is no answer yet. Any other idea?

2DBoys did get back to me and they are aware of the problem with the Android market. I e-mailed the guy my order # and he refunded my money. I asked him how downloading straight from 2Dboys web site worked, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm not going to try until I know it's going to work. Must say they were fast with getting back to me.

Same here - they were really quick in recognizing the issue and even sent me a dl-link as if I had bought it straight from them. Really great support.
Like you I really can't wrap my head around why this only happens with Market downloads the install from 2DBoys was no problem.
I've seen 100 explanations for this issue, and I'm still not sure what is causing it.
Ps. Now the World-of-Goo wants to update in Android Market (even thou I ended up dl-ing it straight from 2DBoys), but if I try it just says I haven't purchased it... Ds.

[Q] SIDELOADING APKs QUESTION

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.

Blocking play store from auto update

Hey every been a while since i posted. Recently my play store auto updated itself. I had thought i properly blocked this but I must have inadvertently changed a setting while switching accounts. I had a modded apk but cant find it. Im back to stock but rooted kitkat. The thing is I started noticing im getting these annoying messages about wannam being a harmfull ap. I am suspecting I updated google services? No clue
Please I am not looking for a "cracked" playstore apk, ive got a dozen or so paid for apps I want to keep just want to go back to my old play store version and not have ps auto update. Ive already done the obvious: unistall, go back to factory, block updater via Tb, etc etc. Any one have a modded apk they could share? Please no cracked free app mods. I am 100% against this kind of stuff, its actually stealing. Any help would be great. Thx! Tmo Galaxy n4 rooted and running on att android 4.3.

Figured it out. So far so good. What ever happened to google being the "dev friendly" "open source" system? Android is turning more and more into ios. Damn play store app updated itself like 3 times. Sad. I wonder where my d2 is prob still runnind rooted ics. I get the feeling that google is trying very hard to eliminate the ability to root all together. Hope im wrong. /rant

FORTNITE bans users with root, UB, xposed framework

The new Fortnite Game for Android detects system modifications like having root or an unlocked bootloader, in addition to that it makes a SafetyNet check, which means no Fortnite for root users....
I know, it's just a game but I thought you should know, I found out about it today after indtalling it.

I can't even install it. The installer keeps crashing on me!

He "block" user having Root/Not Safety Pass, don't "Ban", not the same thing
If you unroot, clean install your device stock, you can play isn't it?

Wouldn't install it anyway tbh, purely for them circumventing the Play Store, that's highly dangerous, there'll be all sorts of malicious packages out there pretending to be legit copies. Plus PUBG4LYFE!

Like Snapchat, Netflix, Pokemon Go etc... Its not the first time but we live in the age of Magisk

Yes you are banned BECAUSE you have try to connect to the Fornite server so many times, not because you have try once time to connect with a device rooted
And i think it's a temporary ban (some minutes/hours)

i have tried this and it's working for rooted users

I mean, losing 30% of potentially ~100 millions $/mo from mobile just to stay on Google Play is a stupid business decision. It's simple enough: you want the game, you go on Epic's website. If people get caught downloading another version of the APK that contains a virus, they're dumb (in the end, it's their problem).
