Hey
I recently reset my mobile now when I go in to Market there is no option for my downloads to see my previous downloaded apps?
I am logged into my google account on the phone aswell.
Also when im in the apps market it seems to look different compared to what it did before.
I can download and install new apps fine but I want to find the ones i purchased previouslly.
thanks
Try going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > Clear data and cache.
Then open the Market again and go to My apps. You may have to do this a few times, but that always fixes it for me.
Thanks that looks better then before. I now have my apps option there. But in my apps there isn't any of the apps that i purchased previous to resetting the phone?
Hmm, do you have multiple google accounts setup on your phone? Are you sure you bought the apps with the account that is signed in to the market? That's all I can think of.
You can make sure by going to https://market.android.com/account and seeing if the apps you purchased are there. Search for an app you paid for on the website, and where it normally says "Install" it should say "Purchased".
When I got my new G2, it didn't show my previously paid for apps, but if I typed their name in the search box it would show the app and that I had paid for it already.

Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx
I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..
ok
fair enough then.. cheers
Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.
Hi,
If I have downloaded some paid apps for the app store. Can I redownload them as many times i want or do I have to pay every single time?
Google keeps track of your purchased apps.so yes as long as they are current and supported by your os. Also a purchase number is in your Google checkout linked to market
so i will not be charged twice? can anyone else confirm that plz.
Only pay once...Never again.
you shouldn't have to pay as long as you are logging in to the same account they were purchased to or for. That is the way I understood from data viz.
If you setup your device with the same Google account you can download your purchased apps.
it is true. If you log in with the same google account they will show in the market under my apps where you can just install them again for free. Even on different devices, i can install apps on my phone i purchased for my tablet.
Is there a way to get an apk from thr market that supposedly doesn't work for your device? Market will not let me download the onstar app, but downloaded it on my phone, then tried to backup app & transfer to tab, but it wouldn't back up. Did the same thing with MyGMC app & that worked fine (Also runs with no issues on my tab)
I flash roms not so often as crack flashers. But when I do, or even if I just have to do a factory reset (say, if I want to change the main google account, mainly to prioritize which gets to use the built-in google Talk), I come across Market link issues with TB Pro.
The account I want the apps linked with is NOT the primary google account. It used to be before but I made a new email and such. So I checked the proper settings in TB, such as always associate apps to selected active profiles, etc. But when I restore it is mixed between the two accounts. Some apps will be linked to one account or even both.
I've tried many things. I used market doctor to no avail. I killed market links, wiped data from Market in both Settings and in TB. I've tried rebooting several times. Now I am just going to uninstall/reinstall to see if it will associate to the selected market account.
Sometimes all the apps will link to the right account. But then later on it will be mixed again, or just show some apps as uninstalled or missing. But when I search for them in Market it shows it as installed.
I hope someone has a definite solution for this. I have searched XDA and checked the TB wiki. Thanks in advance.
Did selecting the account to use in TB preferences> account for android market not work? That is the reason it's there, I'm assuming.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah i checked it to the right account. But sometimes it reverts back to bring mixed.
Right now it's fine. I had to uninstall everything, check the TB settings, and reinstall. I also made sure the account was selected in the Market app.
But after making a backup in recovery, some apps weren't linked. But market doctor fixed it.
Still, i wonder what makes the apps become linked to different accounts afterwards.. Or lose its links.
How can i delete my device from list in google play? once I logged in to my group email from college and now every one can install any app on my phone -_- there is only option to delete device from list but anyone can again turn it on.
unfortunately you cant at the moment. you can hide them from the list, but thats pretty useless.
You can however go into Settings>Google>Click on gmail>menu>remove account. This will make it so that people cant install apps on the phone, but it will still show up in the list.
-_- rly? it's good to know that ~100people can install apps on my phone
What is more funny? i can install apps on my all old phones that i sold and there is no way to contact with google.
ok I did a full wipe, and now the phone is on the list, but you can not install anything on it

It would only install them if the device was still connected to your account. As for your phone, go to Play Store and select the account you want it linked to. My old Nexus S still shows up in Play, but the phone in now connected to my wife's Gmail account, so only apps installed from her account make it to the phone.
that did not work in my case. I removed the account from the phone, even with that i could install apps on my phone.
I recently got rid of my old gmail account and created a new one. I deleted accounts.db from my nook and re-registered with my new gmail address through the Market.
Gmail and calendars synced fine after this, but the Market will not download any apps and the Nook isn't listed as a device under my new google account.
Is there any way to fix this besides re-rooting? I was about to re-root, but after thinking about all the apps I have to reinstall and the settings I have to fix, I decided it wasn't worth it. I have my nook set up nicely and won't necessarily need the Market, plus I'm pretty sure I can still side-load apps anyways so could just find the APK for stuff instead.
But, if there is a way to fix the Market without re-rooting, I'd love to know.
It may be too late unless you have a backup containing the accounts.db file, but take a look at this.
Thank you so much for your response.
Although it was a frustrating process, I did end up re-rooting. It was worth it in the end to re-root. I also did not back up my accounts.db when I had deleted it, so as you said, I think it was too late to do anything about it.
But to add to the discussion, when I go to manage applications in the launcher I use, Home[+], there's no option to clear data for Google Apps, only to clear the cache. Other apps like Google Talk allow for their data to be cleared.
I use ADW Launcher and checked in the Manager section to see if I had the same situation. I do. Some Google apps have the "clear data" option, others do not.
