Buy the app again from Market?

Hello, yesterday I flashed a new rom on my desire, and when i tried to download some apps that i have bought before, the market shows me the payment screen again.
Do you know why is this happening and how can i fix it??
Thanks

Quite possibly.. if you keep changing it might just need a few hours to re-sync.

Here is what i have done:
I have been using my Google Apps username ([email protected]) which can be used to redirect to the Google Account that i have on the Gmail ([email protected]) for the Google services that aren't provided for hosted domains.
The previous orders have been charged on the Gmail Account ([email protected]) since there can't be a Google Checkout Account on a Google Apps domain.
Yesterday when i set up the phone i used the Gmail username, and after searching those apps it asked for payment.
So, what is wrong with all this? Since the apps are bought in the [email protected] email, what is the problem with Android Market?
I also have to say that i use market enabler since i live in a non-supported country and faked to the US carrier.
This is really troubling :S
I contacted the support of one of the apps and they advised to buy again and they will refund the previous charge.
Unfortunately this is not a good solution even though it is fair :|

If I understand you correctly, when you original purchased your apps you used your [email protected] account which is a Google Apps for Domains account.
Since the Market doesn't allow Google Checkout with Apps for Domains accounts, when you purchased it would have asked you to use an alternate [email protected] account.
Assuming this is the case, your purchases are still linked to your original [email protected] account (which is fine), but you have now logged into your phone directly with your [email protected] account. It seems that the GMail account is only required to link with Google Checkout, and your apps are not linked to this account.
If you reset your phone and log back in again as [email protected], you should be ok.
I also use an Apps for Domains account, and I can tell you that this works fine for me.

I see..
Well I had changed to the gmail login for some reasons so I suppose I have to buy the apps again :|
Thanks for the reply though

General Android question apps username or google account?

I have a google account ***@gmail.com and this is linked to my google apps e mail ***@customdomain.com.
I don't use the google account gmail address at all, only the google apps account. Presumably, my phone (when I get it) will ask me for my google account details so which should I use?
I see from another thread that paying for apps necessitates a google account login that is linked to google checkout rather than a google apps login. I don't want to get things too complicated but at he same time I want all of my contacts to be synched with my google apps account rather than my google account.
Does this make sense and can anyone suggest what I should do?
I definitely don't want the main e mail address and contacts list to be my @gmail.com address. Thanks

Don't sweat it! It isn't a problem.
Set up your phone with your Google Apps for Domains account.
Everything will work just fine, up to the point when you want to purchase some apps from the market. It will then just ask you for another account to link to Google Checkout, purely for purchasing purposes only - all your purchased apps will still be linked to your Google Apps for Domains account.
Regards,
Dave

Awesome, Thanks

Possible to transfer purchase in Market Place to different GMAIL acct?

I have a primary GMAIL account that is my main one that has all my contacts etc...
When making purchases in Market Place this is the account that the transactions usually take place on.
However, I recently purchased a game on another account (somehow it was logged into one of my other GMAIL accounts) and it's annoying having to switch accounts when trying to play that game.
Because if it's not on the account it was purchased on, the game icon would show up as not being installed on the phone.
Anyone know how to transfer purchases if it's even possible?

the new version of Android Market 3.3.0.0, lets you choose which account to purchase from

Correct, which I'm using.
The purchase has already been made on my other GMAIL account as oppose to my primary GMAIL account...
I'm wondering if there is away to transfer (authentication?) my purchase over form my secondary to primary GMAIL so I don't have to always switch to the secondary to play the game.
Otherwise, I have to keep switching back and forth and it's annoying.

The simple answer is no, they limit this to prevent piracy. You could pull the game from Root/Data/App and try to install it like any other app.

Question about Android Market apps on multiple phones

Here is the scenario.
I have my Samsung Epic. I purchased a Samsung Epic for my wife. She has her own Gmail account so when I configured the phone, I configured it for her gmail account. I would like to use a couple of the apps that I purchased in my Market on my wife's phone. I know how to add my account to my wife's phone, and get my paid apps to show up in her market. Here is the problem.
I would like to keep her phone on her market. How do apps that do license checks work in this scenario???

So you're trying to use a single user license for multiple phones? Gotcha...
P.C. answer: She has to purchase each paid application under her account if she plans on utilizing any of them.
Non-P.C. answer: Given what you are trying to accomplish (pirating software for your wife's device), this may or may not work with multiple phones accessing the same Google account. You can have more than 1 Google account on the phone. After you have added the 2nd Google account to the phone, press the menu soft key and select "Accounts" within the Market. Select which account you wish to use. This also means that your wife will also have access to your Gmail, calendar and all that is Google for your account.
I highly think Google did not intend people to share their account with others (family, friends or etc.) to circumvent the purchasing of Market applications. Whether they properly coded their software to prevent such actions is a different matter. I guess you will find out.

I am not asking about theft. I thought that I read on Google that purchase of an app allows me to use it on all of my devices. Since my wife's phone is on my Sprint account, under my name, I thought that this was legit.
http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=113410
I know the example isn't exactly like my scenario but the verbiage states "Your application purchases are tied to your Google Account and can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any device". There is nothing there about simultaneoius uses.
As for your non-PC answer, I can set my wife's phone to non sync my e-mail and calendar, but I am more concerned about the license check. How does that work with multiple market accounts?? How does the license check work?

What about folks with a phone and a tablet? I've been curious about this.

With the market and Amazon market I have all apps that I purchased on all of my devices. He would have to set it up with his gmail as main one and then add hers. He could then set it not to synch his gmail on her phone. He may like it to synch his calendar on her phone. Lots of families do that.
Hope this helps.

And what if she wanted to purchase an app on her Google account? Would her account have to be primary to use the paid apps?

The account doesn't have to be set as "primary" per se. Just set up husband account on wife's phone, and set to not sync contacts etc. Open the market app, soft key menu, select account. Select husband account. Download app. Re-set account in market to wifes account.
The market will find updates for both her and his accounts automatically for installed apps on her phone.
I have two gmail accounts of my own, and apps installed from both. It's basically the same thing as what OP is asking.

Wow. I didn't realize you could do that. Nice to know. Thanks for the info.
Samsung Legendary Epic

with the older version of the market, the purchaser had to be the main gmail account on the device. with the new market, it doesnt matter who is #1 or #2.

I set up a seperate "family" gmail account so we can share paid apps across our devices without having access to each other's gmail. I have a few paid apps on my own account from before I did this, but I can always log into one of their phones and download the apps, then delete the account. Only issue there is won't get updates unless I log my account back in.

Good to know this.. was a bit vague about the TOS..

All good suggestions. Here's one more:
You could get AirDroid (available off Market) to export the paid app of your choice from one phone and transfer it to another phone. It's quick and easy.
Plus I recommend AirDroid as a generally useful app anyway. =)

Yea you can also use a file manager with root permissions or Titanium backup to get the apk and install it on any device you want.
However, the easiest thing to do is use a single account to purchase all applications on and sync that to each device. Families do this all the time. 1 account for all paid apps and sometimes pictures, then their own personal account for mail and etc.

Done this with Google Music as well. It's nice having one central family gmail account so everyone can share music, pictures and apps.
Plus Google Play allows you to set up a pin number on individual devices to keep my kids from trying to purchase paid apps without telling me. This is the one feature that the Amazon App store is severely lacking. I have no problem using my Amazon account on my wife's phone, but I won't put it on my kids' as there's no parental controls to block one click purchases other than in-app purchases.

gmail app for email dictatorship?

Hi everyone,
I tried adding other Gmail emails to my email app without adding accounts to the phone but no way even tried Microsoft outlook if you use other email addresses it is ok but if you try Gmail email apps you been diverted to google again to add an account to the phone. This awful google you already have info why trying to get synching everything on the second phone.
Another solution just listens the mr google and add an account for every email that you use and stop synching but I didn't like this because I read somewhere it keeps synching everything.
3rd party email like yahoo is ok but not really safe to me.
Here we go microsoft outlook if add from inside app at reader mode yes allow adding gmail.com emails.
so found my own solution.
inn outlook app hit top left and all the way down to wrench icon you ll see + add account (it is not adding google account just adding emails.
Great

Try the Nine email client - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en
I use it for all my email addresses - Office 365, IMAP, and even an old POP address.
It costs $10 but good programs should cost money.

android became another ios dictatorship $10 is must be nothing for us residents but it is a lot money for to many ppl around world, this is insane google.
i just want to an extra email not account how many steps i walk how many fck i had what i m talking or thinking to buy.
There are no more judges in usa i guess this is long subject but so stupid.
i sent back google chromecast because new version not allowing to setup without location data people shoul show their reaction for those stupid actions from dictators like kim un google.

Try Aquamail. The first thing I always do is remove or disable Gmail and install another email app.

Microsoft outlook adding also, If you add from the main page it diverts you to straight add account at play store but if you click right top to accounts and all the way down wrench sign it is adding email without adding a google account.
