[Q] 2 Kindles same rom only one play account - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 2 Fires that I have flashed both with the latest Energy rom for ICS. They can both access Google Play and download just fine. The problem is that only one of them will show up on the device list at a time. I have removed my account and re-added on both of them and every time I do that it just removes the other one and adds the newest one. It will identify them both separately with the names that I have designated for them but it will only keep one of them listed on the account. Before flashing they both showed up on the device list. This just started after flashing the rom. Is there some kind of setting that I can adjust or something that I can add so that they will both stay listed?

[q]market issues, require urgent help[q]

Hi there XDA,
Proud to be a member of the One X team, I have searched for a resoloution to this issue however I cannot find a single thing. Basically i ctreated a Google account specifically for this phone, as I don't use my old Google account and I wanted to start fresh. After logging in to it and setting up all the other accounts on the phone, I decided to install apps. I went to the online Play store however as the phone hadn't completed its initial sync it wasn't appearing online, so I started to download from the PlayStore on the phone. That's when I noticed that on trying to install UPDATES for pre-installed applications it said 'Your order is processing. Your item will be available in a few minutes' Well after a few minutes my application will not update and this error will not stop.
I did a factory reset, and set the phone up with my old Google account however I didn't set anything else up, just my old Google account. Then I tried to update apps through the PlayStore and it worked! I put the issues down to the new Google account and so quickly created another. I did a factory reset and set the phone up with ONLY this new Google account. The updates WORKED.
So then I did another reset and set the phone up with all the accounts ect and this new google account. The phone will not install updates and is giving me the error again also the phone is appearing online, however it won't install any apps, it says the request has been sent when i click install online however the app never installs on my phone. If I go to the PlayStore on my phone and install a not-installed app it will work though.
Please help somebody thankyou!

[Q] auto app install upon device first boot

so i just ordered my gnex and had some questions about the auto app install process once the phone is first booted and my google account is logged in.
is there any way to stop the process altogether or kill the installs other than to go into the play store and start manually cancelling every app install?
i've got a bunch of apps installed on my current device that while i do want them on my gnex, many are older versions than what is current in the play store that i'd like to keep for one reason or another. i'd prefer to not have to allow all the updated apps to install and manually delete them then go back and install the older versions from my ti backups. yes i know i'll have to do that anyway but avoiding the initial auto install and manual deletion step would be ideal.
i guess my only other option would be to use the updated play store option of deleting apps from the webpage and just delete them from my current device prior to booting up/signing in to my gnex. i'm planning on wiping this device anyway so i guess that wouldn't be a huge deal, it just seems like google giving us an option to auto install or not would be best.
am i SOL on this? i've searched around and it doesn't look like i have any other choices but figured i'd ask.

[Q] Can't download apps trough Play Store

Due some problems with my HTC ONE (M7) i had to return it to the store and use my backup phone (HTC ONE V).
It has been a while since i used it, but before switching to my new phone, everything worked fine.
After more then a year, i need to re-use my HTC ONE V and i want to make the best of it till i get my other one back.
But after trying to install some apps i bumped in to some problems. When i looked up the apps in the Play Store, i didn't get the apps i searched for.
Later it asked me to do updates on the apps that were still on it (since they haven't been updated for over a year) but when i pressed to update them, nothing happened.
When i noticed that, i wanted to try updating them manually but when i opened up the app page's, it told me my device isn't compatible (which is weird since the apps are already on the phone).
I tried a method i see a lot with Google Play issues which is deleting the Google Play updates so it goes back to the state it was in when i got the phone and letting it update again, but it doesn't update anymore.
When i look at my devices on Google Play in my browser, i see the phone standing in the list but it says it hasn't been used for over a year. My email is linked to my Google Play on my phone so i tried installing apps by pressing install on the browser version but again nothing happened.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
I am considering doing a factory reset if there is no solution but i would like to avoid that.

What if you try to:
* delete Google Play data?
* install the newest gapps compatible with the ROM you are currently using? Wipe Cache and Dalvik after that.
* update Google Play App in the first place?

Contact sync problem on MI 5s Plus imported from China

Hello, I have a problem with the contact sync on the phone.
I have added the MI and Gmail account. Additionally I have added the outlook app as the previous phone was a windows 10 mobile phone and an Windows PC is being used.
Now contacts are saved and new ones created under "save in outlook" in the original contacts app, but for some reason after a certain time maybe 10 minutes or longer they just disappear in the contacts list.
They are not setup on outlook either when I go via the outlook app.
Also numbers are changed within a contact and it is not updated to the web. In view settings i have selected "all" to view and yet it just shows contacts with a phone number even though there are hundred setup on the web end of outlook.
Is this a MIUI problem or Outlook? Would a proper customer rom help maybe Cyanogen?
Hi i did got the same problem. I was on the china rom version. Since i'm in the global rom, everything is fine. In which version or you ?
No Idea how you check this but I would say I am on the China rom. The one where UK was not available as language. Guess cyanogenmod will not release an update anytime soon so I better go onto that other rom.
could you link how to check that and how to upgrade it? much appreciated
Upgrade is really easy, but you will loose all installed data!
Go to: http://en.miui.com/download-315.html
Choose between one of the two files, I recommend stable image for daily usage.
Copy it to the phone, if you haven't already downloaded it on the phone.
Open the Updater app, select the three dots on the top right and select 'choose update package'. Select now your downloaded zip and it it will ask you if you really want to flash it. Because it's a different ("older") image, it will also inform you that it will wipe the device. Confirm it and it will reboot and start the installation, which takes around 15 minutes. Afterwards you're welcomed with a new fresh installation where you can select many languages.
Note, if it doesn't work (I'm not 100% sure if it's recovery or fastboot image anymore...), download the file from here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Good thing though, you don't need to unlock the phone and don't need to connect it to the PC
so the global version is behind the original version from china? and will it auto update? is this some official source or some "community" rom
At least the developer edition is not behind
It will auto update and it is an official release which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. Xiaomi.eu is inofficial and requires unlocked bootloader.
The developer build is typically updated weekly, although it can sometimes be "deferred" for some weeks if they test new drivers or similar (happening since around 3 weeks with the Mi 5s, last week was the first regular build again).
So I can update the rom without connecting to the PC from here to stable: http://en.miui.com/download-315.html and it auto updates, right
If you already have the global or chinese stable installed, yes you can. If you currently have a custom or store image installed, it might fail doing the update.
Once you have the Global stable installed, it will receive updates via OTA automatically, you just choose the time when to install.
I think there wasn't yet an update for the 5s Plus and the global stable image, at least the version number 8.0.1.0 suggests that.

How to add a Samsung account ?

Hello everyone,
I've flashed LOS 14.1 on my S4 mini. When I went to add an account (my Samsung account), I discovered there are only few options like: Office, Exchange and IMAP ..etc. But I want to set up my Samsung account to get the backup. How to do this ?
Thanks
Have you found a solution?
Not very likely
Like most Samsung apps, the backup is probably going to be restricted to stock ROM configurations. HOWEVER, if you want to install select Samsung apps, you can (PROBABLY) find the .apk files for them at www.sammobile.com. SOME of them WILL want to use your Samsung account to connect and in those cases they will recognize your credentials if you have already defined them before you flashed a non-stock ROM. You also will likely have to add / edit a statement in your build.prop file concerning ro.config.tima if you have tripped Knox along the way. Not all of the Samsung apps will work completely, since some features apparently just don't and won't work with AOSP based ROMs. Hey, you can't have everything !! Good Luck.

I am really happy for your reply. Yeah, I can not have everything as I am running a custom ROM because I wanted to stick to my s4 mini 3g.
Anyways, I am visiting sammobile,com ,but I am pretty sure that I can not edit or add any statements for the apk as I am an electrical engineer with no experience in android development, but I will try and get back if I got results.
Just FYI I tried this myself a while ago without much success. If you download a stock-based TWRP-flashable rom for your device and extract the contents you should be able to find the APKs for Samsung account, the store, push service etc. (some are also on apkmirror, if you want to try newer versions). The Galaxy store does actually work, but crashes when you try and go to the account page (as there's no Samsung account on the device) so you can only install free apps. The same goes for the Samsung customized versions of apps such as Kindle, it works until you try and log into a Samsung account. The actual Samsung account service itself wouldn't work for me, it appeared in the list of possible accounts to set up but would just crash if selected. Fortunately, the best Samsung app (the internet browser) can be installed on any device directly from the Play store, so you don't need any Samsung account services for it.

I understand now that Samsung account service would not work on customised ROMs. I have tried to download the application from Sammobile and it did not even show to add a samsung account. And in your case even if it shows, it will crash once you proceed.
Thanks for your reply.
