[Q] Zune Sync Issue: Apps W/N Sync to Replacement Device

In November, I purchased several apps. In December, I had to replace my Windows Phone (Samsung Focus). When I synced my replacement device, three of my purchased apps failed to sync. These three apps are:
When I try to repurchase these three apps either from my Windows Phone, or from the Zune software on my laptop, I get a message stating “already purchased” and the “buy” button is un-selectable.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Dave

from the phone, you should merely just be able to search for the app in market place, and redownload it. you shouldn't need to hit buy.

Thanks for your suggestion. I gave this a try. It was difficult because I cannot find a search engine when I go to marketplace on the phone (Samsung Focus). In order to find a specific app, the only way I know of to do this is to scroll through all apps.
I found two of the three apps in question. I found no option to re-download the apps. The only options were “update” or “share”. I clicked on update.
I got a status bar that indicated both downloading and installing, but the apps are not found in my list of applications, even after a soft reset. Now when I go back to the apps in marketplace on my phone, the only option for these apps is “share”.
I really don’t get this.
Thanks again,
Dave

To search in marketplace open up market place and press bing

You are awesome. Thanks a bunch for the lesson. It hasn't solved my problem but it's great to know and has certainly made my search easier.
Thanks Again!!!!!!!!

Update: Using the suggestions from this thread, I was able to resolve my issues.
It's fascinating that 4 calls to Zune customer service over the past 2 weeks were not able to resolve this. The people I spoke with simply did not know their product.
Thanks again for the help guys!
Dave

glad we could help. the search button is useful. app creators need to learn to use it more and provide functions through it so that we get use to using it.

if the app says update when clicking it on the marketplace, means it's already installed....

[Q] Weird program keep downloading to my HTC One X

Hi everyone.
I recently went to the playstore and downloaded a few applications for my new HTC One X (Which I looooove btw)
Problem is though, I think as I downloaded it, a virus or an advertising program was installed with it.
When I check my notification list once in a while it has a download ready called something like "Miniskirtmania" and as I try to get it away, or clear the list, it starts downloading onto my phone. I clicked on it to see where it would bring me and it seems like its to some website, but my phone is blocking me from going to that website as it is not from the application store or whatever.
Arent there a way to get rid of this stupid thing? I deleted the application which I thought it was, but it still keeps coming. Cant I block the thing or?
I really hope you can help as its driving me crazy

Try logging into market dot android dot com (Sorry, I don't have enough posts on this forum to post a direct link yet ) using the same Google Account as you've used to log into Play Store with and sorting it from there.
Else, go to Settings, Applications, Google Play Store and clear the App Data in there.

I will give it a try!

And what should I do if it doesnt help?
Any suggestions then? :&

Backup everything and do factory reset.
Or there is one Lookout app which tell you what apps are using adds.
Or delete all apps that you installed.
Just in case download some "antivirus" app and scan your mobile, I now many will tell there is no way that virus will be in android, but as you can see here, experts nows their job, somewhere may be one looking for shortcut in underground.
I always check reviews to see what other are saying about any app before downloading.
p.s. sending from my small nexus so didnt see that you already done some steps. Sorry.

Actually many will tell you there are viruses and that these "anti virus" apps are useless. google normally pulls these infected apps way before they get picked up by the apps.

Remove previously downloaded (now uninstalled) apps from Play Store?

Title says it all! Some 'friends' installed some inappropriate apps on my phone and while I uninstalled them, they still remain under My Apps - All.
Any ideas? I'm worried that since this is stored on google's side this will be marring my account forever and I would prefer it not to. Searches have led me nowhere.

Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future.

In Short, you're stuck with it, short of making a new google account and re-buying everything there.
PS: That was item #2 in a google search for : google play remove app from my apps

Haha okay thanks. It's all about how you word your searches, I guess. My searches were closer to the thread title.

SOLUTION: remove old uninstalled apps from your Play list
Even though on Google support page the answer is that it still cannot be done I have just done it on my phone.
The Play version that I have is 3.9.16, for Jelly Bean and I'm running CM10 on SGS3.
You need to go to the Play-> all apps and the uninstalled ones have a mark on the right. now you hold the app for a while and it becomes 'marked'.
Marking additional apps is done by short press. when you've all the ones you want to remove from the list in top right corner there's 'remove' button. Press out and voila, your Play list is cleaned up.

Here's a link to download

Weird notifications keep on coming

Hi Guys,
I am getting some weird notifications every now and then.
I don't know which application is forcing them to appear but I cant get hold of it, this is really irritating.
Sometimes because of this some application icons automatically come on my home screen and when I open them I am taken to Google Play to install them.
Is there a way I can find out what is causing this kind of behavior..
Check the screenshot.\

I dont knw why bt my phone app and website are not in sync.. i am unable to find the post created by me in the phone app..

Advert. Only one of ur apps would have this. Go through and delete apps (and games if u want but games are usualy ad free unless theres ingame ads) or to save time download trustgo (not by me) it is an anti virus thing but it also detects ads in apps. (who knew some ads could send data)

Thats one thing but the xda tapatalk app push notification is just the xda sign in a speech bubble for subscribed threads only. If you ask the admin or mod or someone who knows the app inside-out they will tell you that xda dosnt do push notification ads. That star is a ad. I realy do recomend deleting apps until it go's or get an ad detector app. They are push ads and ive had them before and i know what they are.

Run Addons Detector, I had a similar problem, Ringdroid used to push ads in the notification bar after which i uninstalled it.

I found an app to take care of this advertisement stuff..
Air Push Detector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en
Con: You will have to uninstall your beloved app.
It did tell me one app which was using Push Ads, and I uninstalled that, till now no Ads.
Workaround:
Airpush Permanent Optout
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airpush.optoutapp&hl=en
No need of app Uninstall, this will prevent 'AirPush' only Ads from popping up onto the notification bar, varying reviews for this app so did not use it.
Will keep you guys updated.

[Q] LG G3 CS 1.6 issue

Hey guys. So I wanted to try and find a legit Counter Strike 1.6 apk, and I installed one that I really don't want. It basically has a the accessibility to my phone as the Facebook app does, view my messages, camera roll, send texts, etc. My problem is that I can't figure out how to uninstall it. Simply pressing uninstall does nothing and I can't find the files in my document viewer. I'll post some screen shots for you guys. I'm new to Android so this could be an easy fix that I'm not aware of yet. Please help me remove it. Please and thanks.
ps the app is usually always running.
