About paid apps in the market - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the phone or google account have a registry of which apps have you bought so if you do a full wipe you can redownload them again? Or if you wipe/update your phone do you have to repay them?

It shows the paid apps in the downloads section.
Hopefully when Google release their new app site... there will be a list of paid apps etc like on apples app store on itunes.

how can I remove gmail?

rooted with CM6.1
how can I remove initial google account? I have a problem with google checkout on this initial account and need to remove it.
I tried remove the cache and that didnt work nor did it trigger a notification.
Any suggestions?
How can I remove all google apps?
If you're simply trying to change the Google account the phone uses, go to Settings > Accounts and Sync, and then add your new/other Google account and remove the problematic one.
Thats does not work.
It says the "problematic" account can not be removed because its used by other applications.
And this is AFTER you added the second account? You may have to do an entire wipe and then sign in with the new account on first boot.

I think the answer to my own question is yes;therefore, should I just follow these instructions?

im good, disregard.
I must have missed the part where you were rooted, but yes, I always suggest a wipe from recovery. When re-flashing, dont forget to install the latest gapps.

no one? xD
It will show only apps actually dl from market, so needs market link. Manual install won't give link.
You could try titanium backup, has option to fix market link.
If you've had to use market enabler to fake your provider (some countries don't have access to paid apps) paid apps won't normally show in market, unless used market enabler.
Edit: you could also try deleting market cache, reboot into recovery, delete dalvik cache, reboot. Reboot may take a little time. Don't worry.

How to delete account from android market and tel

Hello how can i delete account from android market since i used my acc for google to log in in the market on another phone since i needed to download some stuff but tommorow im going to sell the phone and i dont know how i can delete my acc.I cant use factory reset because it will wipe all the programs i downloaded

It sais that i cannot be removed because it is used by some apps and the only way is the make facroty reset.Any other ideas ? Thank you
Another work around could be to change your account to different one. Or as a last resort factory reset it, but we only factory reset it when we selling our phone.
Change our google mail password than open GMail and refresh, it will tell you to put your new pass or acc, fill it with another one

"Error Processing Purchase" message

I keep getting that damn error whenever I try to download an app from the play store, even when it's free. I fixed it once before by clearing the cache, data, and uninstalling updates of the market but I don't wanna have to do this Everytime I download an app. Anyone have a fix?

Log into your google account and check your wallet. There may be an issue with your payment method. If everything is fine, try deleting the app and then reinstalling the market. You can google "android market apk" to find it, or Google "google play apk". Download and install.
If that still doesn't solve, it could also just be the Google servers having an issue.

might be a ROM issue
I have the same "error processing issue" problem. I often have to clear my market cache/data, which works sometimes. So I called google market play to see if there were any issues in my account, and the rep said there was none. His theory was that there might be some issues with the custom ROM (ARHD) I installed, since I only started having problems after I installed it. Anyway, I think the only solution for now is the clear cache data approach, or better yet, hope that our ROM builders are able to address the issue.
As an aside, my ARHD is working perfectly, except for this market issue (cum hoc, ergo propter hoc?)
I also have a custom rom installed and had this same issue, I resolved it by uninstalling updates for the google play store app, and then it worked...at least for now.
I recently started messing with various roms and themes when this issue popped up for me. I searched the web and tried the various methods (removing gmail account, not updating, etc) with little luck. After hours of frustration, I finally found out what was causing the issue.
I was using Titanium Backup to back up all my files and restore them as I was flashing between the various roms, that was the trouble maker.
When you back up your files before a flash, make sure you do not back up the google/play store. So, if you are having problems, try to go trough these steps and it should fix it.
Back up all your files (minus play store) in Titanium Backup.
Reboot phone into clockwork.
Reset Factory Data x3
Wipe Cache x3
Install your rom from zip
Once your phone is booted up again, do not enable Wifi (for now)
Do not add a Google Account
Go to the market and download Titanium (will prompt to add Google account, do so)
Exit the Market
Go back to the market (it should now have auto updated to play store)
Try to download another app, any app, it should work
You can now use Titanium to restore all your apps and data, but make sure that you do not restore anything with the market/play store in it.
I did this yesterday, restored all my games, contacts, text messages, etc and it has worked fine for me ever since.
I am running slickMOD Supreme with the Darkside Kernel.
Hope this helped at least a few of you as I know how big of a headache this was for me.
All is good now. However, it does still happen with a couple apps, free or paid. I can't remember which ones but it gives the processing purchase error. Very rare albeit still present.

Aloha;
Sounds like an ID mismatch here. Happens whenever you do a factory reset or change ROMs. I'm guessing that the ID is a hash of the phone and the ROM, maybe. Anyway, the device ID is what ties the phone to your Google account and apps use this to determine whether you paid for the installed app or run as a freeware version.
Titanium now offers the choice of reverting the id back to the old one or ignore the change. I prefer NOT to change the ID back as I've ran into more id mismatch problems down the road than just keeping the new ID. I too use Titanium to backup my apps and data, and use it to quickly restore my apps and data to a new installation on my phone (whether it be a factory reset or a new ROM, or even a reinstallation of the current ROM). Whenever I have a misbehaving app that reverts back to the freeware version or complains about licensing problems, I then uninstall the app and then reinstall the app directly from the Play Market. That has always fixed the problem for ME. Your Mileage May Vary, which mean while it works for me, it MAY not work for you. Keep that in mind before you start biatchin that it doesn't work.
Oh, yeah, also try rebooting after the reinstallation. If nothing else, Dalvik and Cache!
Mahalo,

I've run into this a few times after doing a restore from a backup or swapping ROMs. Best way I can fix it is go to Google Services Framework, stop it, clear the data. Next go to Google Play, stop it. Uninstall any updates, then clear the data. Reboot phone. Go to Google Play again, accept terms, and now it should work. Just some advice.

It's typically under all software. You have Downloads, SD card, All and its in there somewhere. In AOSP or AOKP you have to go under downloaded and it's in there

What in stock ROM syncs my apps?

By that I mean when I restore to a stock ROM all my past apps are auto-downloaded to my phone and setup for me, but when I flashed a JB ROM from on here the same doesn't happen and I have to install a ****ton of applications manually and all.
All it does is re-download them from the Play Store when you enter your Google credentials and check the right boxes during initial setup.

Odd, because I did login during the initial setup and it didn't.
When you switch ROMs your Google play id It gets regenerated aka Google sees it as a new device. titanium backup can back it up and restore. Heck you might as well use it to backup and restore your apps and app data while your at it.
