Hi all.
When I installed my apps after restoring the ROM I used a Titanium Backup without data. But none of the restored apps are giving me notifications. I know that many of them should give me some info about upgrades in the background. How do I Reenable?

Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here because it's driving me insane. I have a rooted Desire and have previously bought several apps from the Market (Locale, Twidroyd, etc.). I have Titanium Backup, which I've been using to back up my apps and settings (only for downloaded apps, not for any system apps).
I recently decided to try out a MIUI ROM and after having a play about with it, I decided to go back to a Sense-based ROM (LeeDroid 2.2f if that's relevant). I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps but have found that my paid-for apps from the Market are no longer authorized. If I uninstall them I'm finding that I have to re-purchase the apps rather than being able to re-download them as I cold previously.
I'm using exactly the same Google account as before and I've already tried clearing the Market app's data and cache in the Settings app.
I'm at a total loss as to why the apps can't be authorised! Any ideas about what else I can try?
In Titanium,
Long press the app, and when the menu selection comes out, press "attach it to market"... or something to that extent. I can't remember the exact name for the option.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The apps were all already attached to the Market correctly. Unattaching them and reattaching them in Titanium didn't seem to make a difference.
I've tried wiping data/cache and reflashing the ROM but no luck there either. I've also tried going in to the Market and going to the page for Locale straight after configuring my Google account, before restoring the backup in Titanium but it still says that I have to purchase the app
Ok have managed to find a solution, but it's a bit convoluted. I use 3 Google accounts in total on my phone: 2 x Google Apps accounts and 1 x Gmail account.
The Market only supports Gmail accounts for buying paid apps; if you access the Market using a Google Apps account and attempt to purchase something, you are prompted to add a Gmail account and the purchase is made against that account. Due to the purchases being made against my Gmail account, it was this account that I was entering first after doing the factory reset and then going into the Market to accept the T&C's.
However, it appears that if you initially entered a Google Apps account when you first got the phone, you have to keep entering this account first after factory resets, even though the purchases are made against a different account! Clear as mud, right?
Oh boy, that is a doozy.
Wouldn't it be better to streamline your accounts?
Hehehe yeah I guess so I'd rather just have the 2 Google Apps accounts (one is for work, the other is personal)
Anyone know how to solve this? Sent my phone to HTC to get repaired. Got it back, logged into gmail iva the phone and only one of my apps is being restored. Only "mybackup" comes up as restored. Nothing else is showing.
I have my apps backed up on mybackup as well as my data but why isn't gmail doing it?
If i restore apps via "mybackup" then they do not show up in the market so i don't want to do it that way. Is there anything else i can do? I logged into the android market via my laptop and it had a list of about 15 of the apps i had but not even close to all of them.
Any advice appreciated. I thought this would be a simple process but evidently it doesn't seem like it.
Edit: Just been back to the a android website via my laptop and none of my apps are listed there anymore. Only the one that restored itself and the stock apps... Great. So i'm screwed now i take it?
I'm not sure about reinstalling from market. As far as I remember it didn't worked well for me either. If you have rooted phone you can use Titanium backup which will backup not only apps but the data too. So, if you set high score in a game or you set up some app to your preferances you will have them all back.
To backup up only apps for later reinstalling I use Astro file manager : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.metago.astro. With Astro you can backup all your apps for later installing after performing factory reset.
I already backed my apps using Astro and mybackup, however im pissed off that googles own inbuilt system won't restore my apps despite suggesting that it would. Plus anything i restore with Astro and mybackup will not show up in the market. Haven't got a choice now i guess.
They also ruined my contacts backup as well while we are at it. I saved my contacts to gmail a few weeks back, came back today and none of them are my contacts, they are however, half of the people i follow on twitter. Neither gmail or twitter are linked to each other so how the hell did gmail manage to get into my twitter account and then replace my saved contacts list with people i follow on twitter. What farce this all is.
I have that backed up in 2/3 places thankfully but what kind of service is this from google? Its worked fine in the past but the one time i need it, everything goes wrong.
I'm having a problem restoring my push notifications on the Facebook app when I switch between ROMs on my GS3.
I have Paranoid Android installed now, and I previously had the latest AOKP build. I backed up the AOKP build via the recovery, then flashed PA, restored apps from Titanium, and here I am. But.. no Facebook notifications! I tried logging out and back into the FB app to "reregister" the device with the Google Cloud Messaging service or whatever, in order to hopefully restore the notifications, but no dice! I also disabled and re-enabled notifications within the FB app.
Strange thing is if I restore my AOKP backup, then I get flooded with all of the old notifications from FB!
Other apps seem to work fine for push notifications -- Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Voice, even Facebook Messenger. It's just the app itself doesn't seem to like to notify me unless I go back to AOKP.
Anybody experience anything like this?
It's happened to me before, did you dirty flash? I went from one rom to another without a factory reset by accident, usually do it. But most everything worked fine except for the facebook app messages so I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook app and it worked! I eventually did factory reset my device though just incase there were other issues I hadn't yet come across.
Silly me... I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that did the trick! I assumed logging out and back in was as good as uninstalling and reinstalling, but I guess not!
I did do a clean flash initially, with wiping everything.
Thanks for the idea!:good:
Rooted and unlocked last night. Going to start uninstalling the bloat with Titanium backup. Are there any apps I need to stay away from?
Right now Im looking at getting rid of all the Google Books, Magazines, etc. What about the Sprint apps?
I got rid of the sprint id sprint zone and sprint connection optimizer. Along with backup, email, email widget, music, music widget, memo, memo widget, tasks. There might be more but those for sure.

But the backup app and memo are actually useful...

Titanium replaced backup and keep replaced memo. But that's for me. Everyone is different.

Does anyone have any ideas? Hangouts show notifications while driving. So did Android Messages app. But not the stock LG Messaging app.
Had repeated problems with Android Auto (TMO G7 Thinq on Ford Sync3 v2.3) not showing notifications or playing notification sound when receiving a text on any of several texting apps.
I tried everything I could think of: cleared data, cache, uninstalled, reinstalled from Play Store then direct from apk, I tried reverting to an older AA version, I tried different messaging apps, tried resetting app permissions, resetting notification settings, blah blah...
Finally, I gave in and decided to try a full phone factory reset, then a restore back to my oldest backup. This does seem to have worked. I'm using Textra Pro now and it's been fine for a couple of weeks, but I will edit if that changes
If you don't have any good backups, you may have to factory reset, but that's your call....and that still may not fix the AA notification thing for you. Wow, that's all I can think to try. Good luck!
