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
Have you recently changed your googlemail to gmail?

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
On my Incredible, I started a gmail account and now I receive gmail on my phone.
Now I want to use gmail on my desktop PC but I don't remember how I started it on my phone i.e. I can't remember my username, password or the email address I used to start gmail.
How how can I recall these facts to add my gmail account to my desktop?
Thanks

Just go to settings>accounts & sync, you'll be able to see your username under gmail, then you can just go to the gmail site and recover your password.

Thank you for the reply. I did what you said and the user name was my gmail address, and they asked for things I couldn't supply, like, who I sent gmail to, when did I open the account, etc.
Apparently I don't really have an account - just an email address. Does that make sense?

If your phone is receiving email you have a GMail account. If you don't recall what information you put in when you originally started the account there's probably not much more that can be done.
Did you find this phone or something?

VERY FUNNY.
I have always had a lot of respect for this forum, but it is open to everybody and everything.
I started up my Gmail and got rebuffed when I tried to buy an apk and it required me to check-out at the Google store. I was told I didn't have a Google account so I wasn't able to buy the apk, but I am still able to send and receive Gmail. Now I want to be able to receive Gmail on my desktop, but I don't have the information to be able to complete that so that's why I asked for help.
Thanks.

You can send and recieve mail because you have a gmail account. You can't buy anything at the store because you don't have a matching account in Google Checkout which you would have had to set up separately.
Based on the information you're providing - which I'll agree with the others comes off as either sketchy or aternatively completely computer clueless that's my best guess.
I rooted a guy that I work with phone and he didn't know his gmail password. He didn't use gmail, just set up the account to use the market and backup contacts.....bit he also was able to figure out when he opened the account because it was the same day he bought the phone.

Thanks for the comments.
I just got off Google's site and I went through the steps to recover my username and recover my password and even though the recovery site accepts my username and my gmail address, it sends me a message that it's database has no reference to a password for either one.
I tried a site that was supposed to be the tech site to help me and after I asked my question, they asked me how much would I be willing to pay for the answer and suggested 37 dollars.
Well, I guess you know, I went no further.
My problem is, why does google recognize my gmail address, but has no reference to a password I would have to have to start the gmail account? ? ?
I know it's my fault I don't remember what I did to create the account, but why is there no record???
Google can't, or won't let me back in without some things I don't recall, but they seem to have no mechanism to let me correct my situation without just cancelling the account and creating a new one.
Thanks again for the dialog.
Are you serious? I can't believe that post (the one before this one)....its kinda making me very angry on how ridiculous this is lol.

Hi..
Anyone know how I can get my Desire to support my google account? It seems to allow only [email protected] google accounts, but my account uses a non google email address...
Thanks...
I didn't know Google offered other domains, only Google.com and googlemail.com.
What is yours?

A lot of businesses and colleges use gmail but use it under another domain name. If you are talking about the phones gmail or calendar app you set it up as like normal under settings but enter the enter in entire email... like [email protected] that worked for me.

Hi...
Google doesn't offer other domains that I know of. My google account is via a non google email -- my pre-existing email address that I've had longer than Google has existed! Most android devices allow you to sign in to a google account with any email address. The Desire will only allow an [email protected] address.
I contacted HTC support and they said "open another account". Yeah, that's really useful, as my play.google apps won't be there (google won't merge 2 accounts) and my calendar won't sync (the Desire calendar won't see anything other than the primary account calendar).
So this renders much of the phone useless -- unless someone knows how to bypass this stupid HTC limitation....
Would installing a clean Rom, without the HTC additions solve it?

Thanks -- good idea. A clean rom install allowed me to get the accounts working fine!
just add an gmail adress to you account. you should be able to do it on gmail.com.
it was the same for me, now i can login with my hotmail adress and my gmail adress to the same account.

Can't live a day without email, and since yesterday I can't create any email account with the Samsung stock email app through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. It keeps saying "Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server". I have tried YMail, GMail, none works! I guess I am not the only one and it's a MS server problem?

Kindly check and confirm.
TIA.
Huh?

Ok, what specific email service are you trying to setup (GMail, YMail, etc.).
What is the name of the server that you are trying to connect to? For example, the ActiveSync server for GMail is m.google.com.
Lets start with that and see where we go from there.

Did u try add accont from "settings -> add account -> email" atleast for me phone automatically converted it to exchance acticesync account. (Windows Live account)

GMail. That's how it worked since the day I got the phone, but now it isn't working. It's obviously a different Note 2 (the old one was having a problem, so service center provided me a new one), but that shouldn't be any reason.
I just type my username, then password, select Manual setup, tap on MS Exchange ActiveSync, then I tap on next and that error pops up! The server address is m.google.com like you said. But I've tried with different address like m.gmail.com, no luck!
Now I had a Nandroid backup from my old Note 2, which I was restoring some minutes back with Nandroid Manager, and when I restored the email and Exchange service the old email data is back, as Exchange ActiveSync.
This is the most weird thing I've seen since a long time!

Tried that mate. No better.
Now could any one of you test it for me? I'm strongly recommending to NOT delete the account you're already having with ActiveSync, just try with another account and see, please? I've GMail and YMail accounts, so can't say about any other account.
Thanks in advance.

It's the default, I'm not changing anything.
The domain by default is, \[email protected]

For GMail, the domain should be google.

I've already tried that, no difference! Actually I've tried a lot of things showed up by Googling, none if them is working!
I don't know, could this be this Unique device identifier or something, which is messing something?

AFAIK Google have dropped support for active sync for Gmail on new device since last week Jan 13.

Yep read at least 6-7 articles about it. What a stupidity by Google! http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/...-sync-exchange-support-for-gmail-calendar-and
Anyway, that was it for me, created a Hotmail account and a Live account as well (love the name, Live, lol) and Exchange ActiveSync created the account easy.
Now I guess there is no way I can have all my messages transferred to the Hotmail account from the Gmail account right, and have the new emails in Hotmail instead of Gmail? I have to manually edit the email id everywhere from Gmail to Hotmail or is there any trick?
Yes, This is good way and I am also doing same since long. I have yahoo account and forwarding Gmail to yahoo always.
I don't think you need to change ID everywhere, just use both ID atleast for now, may be there will be some solution for Gmail comes.

I've never associated a Google account with my XDA account i.e. I'm unfamiliar with this type of login.
How about to remove the association with your Google account? Are you then able to login via username and password?
