Anyone lese having issues buying the 10c apps today..or any app for that matter?
I keep getting "An error occurred while processing your purchase. Please try again later" on both my phone and through the web-based market.
Yes, everyone is. Just wait it out and hopefully it will be fixed.

Argggg....that sucks. I needs me my 10c fixins.
I have the same error for both too
I also have that issue, apps only. I started on a vid rental, and didn't error out.

even after you get the error, if you wait long enough, the purchase will eventually go through on its own and will download and install on its own. i let the phone sit for about 10 minutes after getting those errors, and when i turned it back on the apps were purchased and installed. o_o

The purchase doesn't even go through so it's not even letting me purchase to download later.
It's just the 10c apps or all of them?

I was having the same problem. What I did to fix it was clearing the cache and data in the market app.
Go to settings applications,manage applications then market. Click the "Clear cache" then the "Clear data". I was able to purchase the 10c apps after that with no errors.
It was Google's issue as documented by numerous mainstream tech sites. All is back to normal now.

I read that as the app is now yours for free, unfortunately I tried to purchase the apps again and the transaction went through the second time. I might have been able to use those dimes for something important, like curing cancer, but now we'll never know.

Hey everyone,
Ever since getting my phone in early october everything has been great. But just recently, I can't connect to purchase games/apps from the market. I can download something that's free no problem, but if it costs money, as soon as I click on the buy button, it says "attention: a server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and try again later." It never works at all for the last few weeks.
My connection is fine. I downloaded 3 free games today alone (and plenty others over the last few weeks). I update all my apps constantly. Everything is stock including the original sd card and I'm not rooted (yet). But ever since these last 3 weeks it won't get to the screen where I get to choose my payment method.
One more note, this started a few days BEFORE my market got updated to the new version of the market. It stopped letting me buy stuff first, then upgraded to the new version of market and still doesn't work.
Oh and also I've tried rebooting, I've tried force stopping the market app and I've cleared the data/cache of the market in app management.
Pleeease help... there's a couple apps and games on sale right now that I want!
Thanks
Dave

Just thought id let everyone know that I finally figured it out!
For all the people out there posting about this same problem, here's the solution:
Log in to your google checkout account (on a computer since you can't from a phone) and re-add your credit card information... fixed it instantly. Yes I already had a credit card in there that was still good... and I had my t-mobile account in there to bill, but apparently something stupid went wrong and it thought I had no billing options available and instead of giving a worthwhile error message it just said "network error"
I fixed it. Your welcome google. Send me something free now please

So my wife was on her Evo when suddenly the browser opened and started downloading something called DroidSpeedUpgrade.apk. The website I traced and it gave me a forbidden 403 from my PC, but did allow me a DL of the apk from phone. I did not install, look at the crazy permissions! Any idea what this is, or how it opened on my wifes Evo (cm7)?
Thanks
Below is the APK, I wouldnt install it, screen shot is the permissions...
I would backup all apps [except that], then do a fresh re-install of CM7.

I would question if there's already a malware app on the phone if the browser automatically opened to that page.
Check through unfamiliar apps and the permissions associated with them.

That too is true, but hoping he did that already. Though either way, I firmly believe she should do a clean install again; at least go through the last 10 apps she installed, and like said, check the permissions.
If I were to wipe fully with a clean install of a rom, and not log in to Google or restore anything, what damage do you think this could do if I installed it out of curiosity?
I know it could get my phone number, info and whatnot. That alone would probably keep me from doing it... but what's the worst that you think it could do?
If I had an unactivated Android phone then I might do it.

Your curiosity is like mine, I am tempted to just install it, lol. See if the app can be found in app drawer or what, if I can do anything with it, and so on. My wife doesnt have any credit card junk stored on phone, but has a bank app, so that is all bad by itself! Wait, Amazon Market has credit card linked to it, so in theory they can get password and get credit card info from Amazon. On top of bank passwords, all bad! Maybe I am being paranoid, but this rouge apk seems to have to many permissions for it to just install like that.
I have a unactivated LG Optimus S here, I will install it on that and report my findings
edit...INSTALLED!!!
OK, it is just a Task Manager, on the outside that is. What it does is mask itself as a battery saver/task killer. Meanwhile it sends and recieves text messages that cost YOU $9.99 each! Says a minimum of one per week will be sent and or received. If works with either Sprint or Tmobile, according with terms and conditions, which are carefully hidden. For the average user its gonna fool them, the app by itself would not be so bad so one would think they got a awesome app. Meanwhile your Sprint bill is racking up $9.99 texts, I guess you can get them reversed by sprint. But if you have autopay set up it may take a bit to realize you bill payment was a couple hunderd over normal cost Just be on the lookout, the app may do more than what I found, I only scratched the surface of it.

It has permission to change your settings, so it could turn data back on. It can also read your phone information - phone number and such - so if it can send this information out then it can definitely do damage.

It also gives the user magic powers and allows the user to live forever. THIS is a must install. LMAO! However, I WOULD PERSONALLY *that is if I had time to do this* DECOMPILE THIS CRAP AND SEE WHO THE HELL MADE IT AND WHERE IT IS SENDING OUR INFORMATION TO. then, I would track the person down. and put a bullet in their head or heads. I don't play games with identity theft. oh and we all know the two places they are likely from. either china or Africa. Well, in Africa... I firmly believe most of them should all be put into a grave. :-D
Does this make me a bad person? nope... it sure doesn't. I'm protecting americans. Actually. the government does this on a daily basis. They murder hundreds of people over seas for oil. :-D We gotta have our oil. :-D lmao If they come over here, they are terrorists. If we go over there, we are terrorists. :-D as I just went way off subject...
okay okay. don't install it. final. and why would you install something that you know for a fact is a phone virus? How stupid is that? We need a platform that can tests apks OUT OF A REAL phone environment. like a virtual mobile computer like vmware.
okay, I'm done. bedtime!

wow really?
good lord... i haven been uninstalling this on my customers phones for 2 weeks now... anyone, get a full decompile on it?
Since upgrading to JB 4.2 the Amazon app store keeps having me authenticate periodically. I assume that this is related to the JB update, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue. Particularly when accessing Tweetcaster Pro is when I see the issue start, but then no other app works correctly.
Just for some background, I wiped my phone yesterday with 4.1 and then installed 4.2. I have the latest version of the app store and have tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling, reinstalling. No help.
So I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing this or if it is just me.
Thanks
Probably just needs a compatibility update, same as every other app that isn't working on 4.2 right now.

You may have to redownload the Appstore apk, there seems to be one with a new layout now.

Sorry for you, but glad to hear it. I ended up calling them today and they hadn't heard of any issues. I suspect they know now.
I'm getting the same thing too although my login credentials actually work. The one thing I haven't checked is whether or not these logins are creating a new device authorization every time.
I completely wiped my phone before upgrading to 4.2 and Amazon App store and Verizon FiOS Mobile Remote are the only two apps with issues.
I have the same issue with Forum Runner. Every time I close the app I get signed out and need to re-login every time I open it back up. So annoying but I'm guessing its a 4.2 update thing. I've deleted it and re-downloaded it and it made no difference.

Ouch! I just logged in to my Amazon account and saw all the "Nexus 7 xx" devices that were registered.
Thanks for the heads up. I deregistered all the new devices.
This worked for me
From another forum I found this solution to work:
1) Delete Google Account
2) Reboot Device
3) Reactivate Google Account
4) Log on with Amazon Appstore App
All apps load and run without need to log on each time now.
I also deleted excess Amazon devices as noted above.

Hi guys,
Few days ago my S3 received official 4.3 android update, and weird things happening after that.
When I connect to internet, via wi-fi or data, phone automatically download a small file named "files.zip". And it happening every time I turn on wi-fi or data... I can`t find this file in downloads or anywhere else. When I try to open, it says "cannot open".
Second weird thing - browser often redirect me to a advertising or span webs. For instance, I try to open youtube.com, it opens different web with advertisement.
Anyone have an ideas how can I fix this?

Factory reset helped to solve "files.zip" autodownload problem, but phone is still laggy. It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on screen when I press power button in sleep mode. Applications become laggy. I will try to reflash 4.3 via KIES, if the problem remain, back to 4.1.2 will be optimal decision.
Thanks for help guys, and sorry again for getting lost in galaxy s3 forums
I'm having a strange problem, and I'm really hoping someone might have an answer, because it's driving me crazy...
I'm not able to buy anything through the Play Store (including in-app purchases). Every time I try to it tells me "This payment method has been declined", regardless of what method I choose (Play Store credit, Google Wallet, Bill to carrier, and 4 valid cards I have saved). I can't even 'purchase' free items (ie. free music tracks).
I'm also having an issue with the Google Wallet app, in that I can't add funds. Every time I try, regardless of how I try to add them (tried 3 valid cards), it tells me I cannot send money with Google Wallet.
I'm running Echoe v6 (international ROM), and everything was working fine, until yesterday. I made a full backup in TWRP, flashed a couple other ROMs I wanted to try, and finally did a full wipe and restored the TWRP backup I had made. Ever since restoring I've been having these problems, though everything else is working exactly how it was prior to backing up/restoring.
I've tried clearing data/cache for both Play Store and Wallet, deleted and re-added my credit cards on a PC, and still nothing. If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, they would be GREATLY appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything I did fixed it. I'm thinking it was some sort of issue with my account on Google's end, that ended up resolving itself.
I had spent hours messing with it, finally got so pissed off/frustrated that I turned the phone off, plugged it in, and did some work on my laptop. When I came back to the phone about 4 hours later, it was working again. During that time, I went to the Google Wallet site from my Palm and deleted a few old, unused cards from it, but I don't think that had anything to do with the problems I was having.
I wish I could offer you more help, but I can't. Good luck though!

Thanks anyway man. Yeah this issue has been frustrating me for a good couple of weeks now. I don't really buy much on the play store but now that i do want to purchase something it is just pissing me off. I think I'm going to contact Google see if they can help or something.

I'm having this problem too, says my card is declined when trying to add money to my Google Wallet. Just called the bank, they don't have anything showing my card being rejected, so it looks like it may be a problem on Google's end
