Where r u from? It seems that these will only work in US.

Use titanium backup to defrost them...

Titanium backup requires root. BUT I FOUND A WORKAROUND MYSELF:
1) Update the desired app through the web-based Play Store.
2) Then uninstall it from within the Play Store on the device.
3) TADAAAAA you'll see the app in the apps menu.
4) Update it again from the device.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

Another workaround:
Just remove your Google account and re-add it BUT KEEP IN MIND that you have to be connected to a US-based VPN all the time.

What about using MarketAccess or MarketEnabler whilst Wi-Fi is turned on and phone signal and GPS turned off?

When my Play content disappeared my 'fix' was to remove my Google account and re-add it. You'll notice the Accounts option under settings within the Play app itself. So I just switched to a different account (the Play app only seems to let you use one at a time, unlike eg gmail where you can add all of your Android associated accounts) and then back to the original one.
Worked for me anyways, hope it helps :good:

[Q] Multiple Copies of Fields in Some Contacts in People App

This problem is limited to only a handful of my contacts in the native or built-in People App. In those few cases some fields show multiple replications of addresses ( even obsolete ones), nicknames etc. When you edit the record, you can see multiple entries for that person one after the other. You can delete the spurious fields but later when you return to that contact they have all returned. It seems Android Nexus 7 OS has merged multiple instances of a contact but kept the identical values in each field ( even obsolete deleted ones) rather than eliminating redundant ones and those explicitly deleted. Any idea how to permanently resolve this?

I think you can delete them from your google account on the web. I had about 150 contacts on my phone and where all duplicated 5 times.

Here ye go mate. Just go to this link and delete what ever contacts you want. Once done re sync your contacts. You may have to clear data from the people app and the re sync

[Q] Contacts not syncing from phone to google.!

Hey guys,
I recently moved to nexus 4 from iphone 4.
Previously with the iphone i had all my contacts synced to gmail contacts
and it worked fine
but after I moved to nexus 4 , it is not working fine
Any new contact I add on gmail contacts it syncs with the phone,
but when I add a contact on the phone it is not syncing to gmail contacts.
This is annoying and everytime I try to sync the contacts I get an error message(see the attachment)
I called up Google and they have no idea whats wrong.

If you have another gmail account, log in to that one and add the account that you have in the picture and delete your second account and perform sync. It should work.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 4, everything syncs fine except Contacts that stopped syncing on December 28, 2012. What can I do to fix it?

I had this exact problem for the last couple of days. I fixed it by doing this:
1. Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Select your account -> Removing the tick from the Contacts Sync
2.Settings -> Apps -> Scroll to "All" tab, Find "Contacts", Click Force stop and Clear Data
3.Settings -> Apps -> Scroll to "All" tab, Find "Contacts Storage", Click Force stop and Clear Data
I hope this helps:good:

Does it get the phone back to automatic sync, or will I need to do this every time I want to sync contacts??

The auto sync worked perfectly for me after doing this.

My contact sync has been broken since mid January. Cleared contact storage and it synced back but now its stuck again.

This sounds like a very bad idea. My contact sync stopped working in Dec 2013. If I followed your directions, all the contacts that I created on my phone will be deleted, INCLUDING all the new contacts that never synced to Google Contacts in the cloud. It would be a disaster.
The only way to do this safely is for the person to backup all his contacts BEFORE doing this.

Facebook notifications not working

Facebook push notifications aren't coming through on my phone only on my Facebook account, if I login on another account they work fine. I've tried to logout, login, reinstall facebook, clear data/cache, turned off platforms, turned off and on notifications, restarted my phone several times, cleared all online sessions. What do, halp plz

Only on your account?
are you running OOS? if so try disabling and enabling notification access in Privacy settings.(I guess)

I'm on SGS5 and I know this isn't the thread for my phone, but I'm at my wits end and want a solution. I'm sure it's not the phone, but the Facebook account itself.
The deactivate/reactivate didn't work for me on my main account that isn't getting push notifications. Funny thing is I wanted to see if it was just the app or the account, so I made a new Facebook account to test the push notifications on that. Push notifications for the app work with the test account, but not with my daily main account (same phone, same app on phone). I have tried everything under the sun. I've tried the BB thing, turned platform thing off, uninstall/reinstall, cleared cache and data, removed every attached app, literally everything I can think of and/or find online. I think something is not allowing my main account to receive push notifications, like they're being sent to an old phone (which there is no other devices logged in) or some chrome extension or app/program I attached to my Facebook has ****ed it all up. I haven't had push notifications in probably probably 3 years, on my SGS2 and nothing on my SGS5 I got 2 years ago... Sorry for ranting, but I just wish it would work. Do you think my main Facebook account is attached to a very Old Android Device ID?

Mine started working again out of nowhere. I didn't do anything I just left it like that and one day I woke up and I had facebook notifications. It is probably a problem with Facebook itself, the only option is probably to wait it out

Facebook application is kind of headache. It didn't accept previous version of Oxygen OS. They finally worked it out. It is application's problem. Try installing previous versions. It should work in that way.

It's not the app, it's the account. I know this because I created a new account and tested the push notifications on that account. The push notifications work on the test account, but not my main account. Same app, phone and settings throughout Facebook. One thing I did notice was on the test account, the Facebook ID (example: [email protected]) is greyed out under primary account with my email selected as primary. Where as on my main account, it's just my email under primary.

I have the exact same problem as you, I've also tried everything and nothing has worked, and I did the same experiment with another account and the push notifications worked with that other account, but nothing with mine.
I'm honestly very frustrated 'cause I can't find the reason for all this and no one seems to know what's causing it. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with some extension I installed in the past or something like that, but I really have no idea, I'm going nuts over this, specially when other people say they were able to solve it by doing this or that, but I've also done this and that and nothing works.

I think it was a Chrome Extension as well. I believe it started happening when I started using a Facebook Chrome extension. I believe it was this one, but I can't sign out of it anymore. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...ome/gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp?hl=en-US

Reinstalling or uninstalling the Extension fixed the push notifications for your acct? I uninstalled the extension a LONG time ago, and cleared all connected apps and what not. I remember the old version had you actually connect it to your Facebook by signing in, but I could never "sign-out" and I did uninstall and the notifications never came back. The options page is just blank when I go to it > chrome-extension://gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp/options.html

Mail app like HTC Sense mail

I've seen some talk around this forum about porting Sense apps into the OP2. That would be great. But in the meantime, being a former HTC guy myself and a lover of the Sense UI, I used the HTC Mail app for my work email which is exchange and also for my personal email which a pop account from my ISP. The HTC Mail app allows for multi folder syncing when setting up the account. But it's not the kind of syncing that just lets you pick any folder you want from your Exchange account. It actually syncs the many different folders and displays all the messages in the main display as well as the POP account. So far I haven't been able to find a third party mail app that will sync with Exchange like this. I have been able to install the HTC mail app but it does not allow for the creation of the Exchange account with that app, only through GMail.
If anyone can make any since of this, I'd appreciate some input/help.
Thanks!

I recently discovered the mail app CloudMagic, it's perfect, at least for me. It allows you to:
- Get instant notifications (I.E. no sync intervals).
- Have separate mailbox for other accounts (I'm using iCloud and Gmail) as well as an "All inboxes" option.
- Manage the folders you wish to sync from each account.
I know it has support for all types of accounts (including Exchange).
Hopefully I'm on the right track.

You don't need a whole new Rom for a couple HTC Apps and the Sense Launcher. In fact you don't even need Root.
Install the HTC Apk's from here: http://www.fulmics.com/htc-sense/
But dont forget first of all you need to install these Apps: HtcServicePack , LocationPicker and HtcLocationServicesSetting

Thanks. I have flashed some of these. There is just a couple of nuances that don't get transferred. Like the exchange account from the mail app doesn't work and I have to use IMAP email instead.
