Hello guys,
My problem is simple. I have tried some apps and games taken "from internet" and now market when try to update it gives me an error. This behaviour is OK but.... If i want to really buy this app to make the update I can't!!
I have tried unistalling it but market always says ne only "download" and i can't make the checkout!
So how can buy and app previously not bought??
Thanks

Have you tried to use Titanium Backup, I have not had this issue, however this app got a few options that could help you. Look into 'Market Tools' you should be able to unlink an app with the market.
I am not 100% it would solve your issues but it might help.

Thanks but this solution not fix the problem.
I have searched here and here I have found that the only solution is to downgrade the market to version before 3.x!! I think is not a good idea but If i want buy an app i can't...

This is interesting, but I guess there must be a different solution. Have you tried to buy anything with the old market then ? If it works maybe with some reverse engineering it would be possible to know what has changed. Maybe it depends of the protection used to protect the app and what was doing the crack. What about buying the apps using a browser on a computer ? It is not so bad for the users considering they can still use the applications/games however it is not good for the developers (They are losing some potential customers).

I have made my personal fix but I not think is a very good solution. Now I can buy apps but.... If someone can found better solution will be fantastic.
Simply i have made a new Google account and with tb i have detached the cracked apps from updates so now my market notify updates only for really bought apps and free.
When I want to bought cracked app i use my new and clean account.
It's not really bad solution but I really want use only one account...

Have you tried purchasing from the market on the web, rather than from your phone?

As a developer myself, I would say stop using cracked apps! Most apps have their free version equivalent available.
And more importantly, most developpers will refund you if you don't like their app, even after that ridiculous 15 minutes test period!
I can understand Google not caring about users using cracked apps, but nevertheless I agree that Google's attitude is often causing problems to app developers!
Like download issues, payment issues, license issues, to name a few... And those 15 minutes makes user get immediate refund if they have any doubts! Whereas the old one day period can give user a chance to figure out how the apps work.
Needless to say I receive daily feedback about purchase and download issues, which should actually be taken care of by Google. They are the distributor after all!
This issue has been fixed in the Google Play Store 3.5.16 update.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/1...for-sideloaded-or-third-party-installed-apps/
Here's the link to download Play Store if it hasn't updated automatically for you yet.

When you press uninstall on a sideloaded app, Play Store notifies you that you haven't purchased the app. So you can buy it now.

I really wanna buy the chinese package, but the chinese package is not sold in china(weird,ha?), anything can replace that with more or less the same quality or there is another way to buy it?

I tried that, and it didn't work. I cannot buy it in China...
Then all I can suggest is Market Enabler from the market.
But you do need root access.

Is it possible if you use a proxy? If so, try Tor (either on your pc or use the official Tof app called Orbot on your phone)

Has the New Market just been updated or have i been living under a rock?
The GUI seems improved, and i no longer seem to get any lag etc
Guessing this is to coincide with ICS perhaps somehow?!
Flake x
I just had an update for the market to 3.1.5. It's a nicer interface and seemed a bit snappier, but that may be my imagination. ICS is 3.2.0 I believe.
This Version I have is 3.3.11
Yep.. Same here.. 3.3.11

It has looked like this for awhile now. Only minor improvements were made with 3.3.11.

Interesting. Do you have a source?
What! It detects pirated apps.? Then what? What does it do then after detecting?
On Nov. 08 2011, the android market got updated .............and hence the world came to an end.
Its true about the pirated apps, the my apps screen will become blank and you cannot update your apps anymore. The online market still works though and even gives you the option to reinstall pitated apps - which does not work.

simple answer to that is don't pirate apps!!!!!
It appears that the problem on the galaxy s where some of the app images would not show when previewing is now fixed.
Could be following the update.

How Google will make a difference for paid market apps and paid non-market apps then? If i download some legit apps from for example GetJar/amazon app store/etc, Google doesn't have record for me buying this app..but still it appears in my apps list (IIRC this happens, but not 100% sure..). So if Google isn't analyzing apk file itself, its hard to believe it could work correctly..
And I also haven't seen any comments like these in other Market threads..
Removing my three unpaid apps, blackmart and clearing the data part of market solved the issue. I removed the data before, that did not help, now it did. It's strange...

Well I have also had blank white screens..just today when I tried to updater one app..came after accepting download. But it worked just fine after trying again.. And IIRC I also have had one in 'my apps' also. I'm not saying it can't be true but I need more proofs..little sceptic...

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. There's clearly nothing to support these claims.
A co worker copied a root explorer apk to my phone, I installed it but my conscious got the best of me as I do not believe in stealing so I decided to buy it but I can't buy it because it says already purchased. Any way to correct this?
Did you try deleting the original apk and then try purchasing? Not sure if it will work or not.

I did and it didn't work. Last time I listen to that co worker.....
Well, you could contact the maker of the app and explain the situation. Maybe pay for it through PayPal or something.

Yeah I would contact the maker of the app and explain what happened.
Honestly ... I didn't pay for root explorer at first either... I got it from someone else as well..BUT I loved it so much I deleted it and paid for the real one... ( I like to do it this way if the creator of the app doesn't offer a trial version)
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
U just need to uninstall it. If its installed to your system then you need to use root explorer to delete data and cache of the apk then delete the apk in system and reboot

nope it's locked in
it's a known issue with Google Tech support for Android Market
it's permanently burned into your account
they have no way to fix it yet
it also happens with other LEGIT Apps from Amazon and Getjar
i opened a complain ticket several days ago
I had the same with an app I had gotten from the Amazon market, but it hasn't been getting updates there, but has on the Android market. Well the Android market had it on sale for ten cents, so I tried to buy it there and have not been successful. I haven't really tried hard to get it though.

Please let me know when and if you get a response AllGamer. Thanks for everyone's input.
Uninstall it, clear all your caches, and go to your application settings & wipe data for the market. That usually works for me.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with my phone or the apps themselves. Does anyone know what I can do to remedy this problem?
Also sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.

my experience with adfree is, that this app filters not all ad´s. but a lot of. I think it is important what information is inside the host files which you must download. Maybe it is a good idea that you renew this file every day. Try it.

If you want Ad-free app to block apps, then you must be download n installing the host files regularly...
Everyday, new adds are posted and Ad-free doesn't recognize that automatically...
So, open the app, select BOOT NORMALLY and select "DOWNLOAD & INSTALL HOSTS"
That shud keep those pestering ads away...
I found when using it that it also blocked web sites from loading like mediafire... Think because it its ad heavy.so you may find it causes other issues.

Actually I do update it everyday. It filters everything else except for Dolphin HD.

You might also want to consider AdAway from one of the Dev here on XDA. Available off the market Great host file collection. I usually update once a week.

I love this app, totally recommend it!
iR¡[email protected]!* via Tapatalk 2
I've been using it for quite a while as well. Best one I've seen to far and even speedup some of my apps as they don't have to load ads from other sources. LOVE IT.
I've switched to Adaway. This is much better! I have one complaint, but it's a minute one. The ads are gone but the banners where they were are still there. Instead of an ad it just shows a message saying something about "not able to load." does anyone know how to get rid of that? It's not a huge issue but it'd be nice if it was gone.

That depends entirely on the app.
If there's a placeholder for banners, nothing can remove it, but the developer himself.

Currently I am using the Zenfone 2, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM which is ZE550ML.
Unfortunately for this model, all In-App Purchases in all apps are not working at all.
I started to realized about this when one day I wanted to buy a theme from SwiftKey Store, but then it threw an error which was
'SwiftKey Store is not available'. For once I thought it was caused by Google Play Services, so I tried to update the app first.. But as you have expected that doesn't solved anything.
So I begin to experiment on a lot of apps that have IAP. One of them is Kingdom Rush/Frontiers/Origins. Every time I click on the 'buy' button, nothing happened. This also happen to Ampere, when I tried to buy the premium version via IAP, still, nothing happened. It was like the IAP was broken in this ROM.
I hope somebody can clarify this issue, that I am not the ONLY person affected by this bug. Hopefully there will gonna be a fix very soon.
