Buying tablets/phones from Google play from the phone is not possible? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I find it weird that the devices area in Google play does not show up on my phone, I have to use my desktop friend's desktop PC so I can see it, does anyone else has this problem? I don't a computer right now and I'd like to order the nexus 4 from my Galaxy Nexus as soon as it's available and before it runs out
P. S. I live in Germany

Happens for me too.

Not from Chrome (when you try to open Google Play website it opens the Google Play app and you can't from there I think), but if you use Firefox or others on your phone you can buy whatever you like from the Play website.

No Nexus 7 in Play Web Store "Owned" Devices

For whatever reason, my Nexus 7 does not show up in the "owned devices" section of the Google Play Web store.
I see my Galaxy Nexus and my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but for the past 2 days, my Nexus 7 hasn't shown up. (see attached image)
I've done the following:
- rebooted nexus 7 several times
- removed my google account from my nexus 7 and put it back
- wiped data/cache for play market app on nexus 7
- signed out and back in to google on multiple computers
Things to know:
- I am using the same Gmail account
- I have installed apps I've previously purchased on the device through the Nexus 7 Play Store
- I've purchased apps & music through the Nexus 7, been charged and everything
- It's been activated since Tuesday 6/19/12, so it's not a "give it time" thing
Here's an interesting example:
I purchased Paperland Live Wallpaper through Nexus 7. It installed on my Nexus 7. I went to the Play Store on the Web and Paperland only showed as purchased, because it only shows my two devices (Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab 10.1), despite being purchased/installed through Nexus 7.
Help?
Are you sure you used the same Gmail account?
Also can you remotely install apps from the Play website to your Nexus 7?

Try this: On your Nexus 7 do a Clear Data on the Play Store app.

Did that too. Several times. No luck.
I'm having the same issue on my galaxy nexus. Any fixes?
Have you tried the following.
Log I to your play account on line. Click"my orders & settings"at the bottom of the page. On the next page click the settings tab at the top. Make sure you device is ticked to show in menus.

This happened to me as well and i tried everything you tried but without luck.
I had to make a factory reset, after that it worked.
Hope that helps.
Same here
I got my Nexus 7 last evening and I still cannot see the device in the web play store almost 20h later.
Fix that worked for me
Hey I had the same problem. It happened after I force stopped and cleared the data from the Google Services Framework in an attempt to receive the 4.1.2 update. Worked on my Gnex for 4.1, but removed my Nexus 7 from owned devices on the Play Store. Tried a bunch of things, but what ended up working was force stopping the Google Play Services app, then clearing the data. After that I launched the Play store again on my Nexus 7, then loaded the website on my laptop and low and behold, the tablet was back.
Now before this, I had done the same thing to the Play Store app itself with no luck. If the Google Play Services reset doesn't work however, maybe try it in concert with a Play Store reset as well. Hope this helps!
I had the same problem.
On my Nexus 7 I went inot the Google Play Store app
I click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner for the drop down list
I clicked on Accounts
I clicked on the Gmail account that I wanted to use (It was already selected)
I clicked the OK button
I went to the Google Play Website
And it showed up now.
I hope this helps someone.

By doing I factory reset it solved my problem! Annoying but it worked for me.
I had the same problem with a Nexus 4. Device did not show up on play website. What I tried:
- Cleared framework services data, play store data and download manager data.
- removed google account from device and reconnected it.
I read somewhere that you should go to "my orders & settings" on the play website, click on settings and change the nicknames of the "unknown devices" to something different (e.g. different numbers). When I did that, suddenly my Nexus appeared in play store. Maybe worth a try.

[Q] Is there any way to remove old apps from showing in the Play store

So, over the year(s), I have installed, tried, uninstalled, hundreds of android apps on multiple devices.
So I got my new Nexus 7 and wanted to browse through my list of apps in Google Play. Problem is that there are too many listed there. If you scroll through (I guess it's most recent first) it takes dozens of scrolls to get to the end.
And if I find a few things I want down near the end of the list, once you install one, the list goes back to the begginning!
I'd like to be able to remove from the Play Store listing, those 100 or so apps that I know I will never be reinstalling.
Also, the web version of the play store, only shows the first 180 or so, I can't even get to those labled P through Z!
Search yielded little so I turn to you for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'd like to know exactly the same thing. So far not found anything.

I would also be very interested to find out how to do this.

Not at the moment. It does need to be addressed, and one would assume it will be. It's a complete mess. :thumbdown:

Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Too lazy to type lol...that was too easy but u sure knocked it out the park
Browse the play store in landscape so you don't have the list reset every time.
I wish they would at least let you filter your old apps... I'm much more interested in seeing the apps that I actually paid for lol.

Anyone wanting to see paid apps only, you need to install this modified play store APK from Modaco.

Just in case anyone is interested...
I've been a Springpad user for a while, and use the 'spring it' feature from the Play store app to create lists - purchased apps, essential apps, etc. It's really helped with organisation. I just click the saved link from Springpad, and I'm sent straight to the relevant Play store entry.
Yeah, so it's a bit of a dirty fix, but it suits me until Google get the Play store niggles sorted. Guessing it will work with other task/organisation apps, but haven't tried...

1. Root -> a lot easier
2. Use VPN -> try DroidVPN
3. Use Titanium Backup -> defrost those apps (or use patched Wallet, for example)
U can use orbot too in the play store. I use that to get apps to work over here in germany

Grim Fandango, how to install

I know I could stream Grim Fandango Remastered from my pc but I do not have a Nvidia card only the intergrated Intel HD graphics. Fangdango is available for android but it is not compatible with any of my devices if it were I would d/l it and then sideload it. What can I do?
Do you have any devices that it is compatable with? If so, you can install it there, and move the APK.
..
Every device I have is rooted but the only one that is registered that is compatible is the Nexus 9 but I returned it because it was running very hot and bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 which my daily device now. It is rooted and running a custom 5.0.2 rom. I tried every device option available with Market Helper but Grim Fandango still did not show in the play store. I tried using my chrome browser and going to the play store and Grim Fandango would show but it still only showed it being compatible with the Nexus 9. Strange when I clicked on the play store compatibility list the device I was spoofing was not there. I double checked the device manager page and it showed that the device had ben changed to the spoofed one. Am I doing something wrong?

That's what you want. With market helper, it doesn't change the play store on the device. You have to install it on the web interface to the spoofed device. The play store on your device will update all installed apps though luckly, supported or not.
But, the spoofed device is not showing up in my compatibility list. The list is still only showing the original list. I am using the play store through Chrome browser. I'm starting to feel like a noob again! ?
..
So, I definitely have to use a pc. I thought since there was a in app link to the Android device mgr there was no need to use the pc.

I didn't have to use a pc. I used chrome browser installed on the shield. Just refreshed a few times in that and the spoofed device showed up.

Yes, it works on the shield. You have to install via web browser, but the device does the rest.

Back on topic, did you manage to get this working?
To be honest, I have been sidetracked most of this week with an addition I am adding to my home. I will try this coming week and post results.
No I could not get it to work, it kept crashing. There is a version of it ln the Nvidia Store but it is only for the Shield tablet. How hard would it be to port it to the NSATV. I guess Nvidia would have to ask Doublefine for permission or else Doublefine would have to do it themselves? How does one bring this to Nvidias attention?
any updates whit grim fandango on android tv?
Its on sale this weekend
