Amazon App store wont stay signed in - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Never had this problem on any other devices, but the amazon app store won't stay signed in on my n7.
Every time I try to use it, I have to sign in cold. This effects a couple apps I purchased from them since they need that account open to validate ownership.
Anyone else see this?

search for the other similar thread .. There is a link to the new amazon app that fixes this issue...
It should be updated from amazon...

You're using an old version of the app that's incompatible with JB 4.2. Update it, and then, on your computer, go to your Amazon account and delete the multiple instances of your tablet that were registered as new devices each time you signed into the app.

So Long Market

This has been reported in other threads but no here.
Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market. Sounds nice, but whats behind the shiny chrome?
any way of forcing the update? Tried the old clearing data/cache/fc-ing, reboot ....but to no avail. am I to assume we must wait for it to roll out?
Google says that the update will roll out in the next days
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...WRfbXVsdGlfX18yX3Byb21vXzEzMzEwNTgxMjcxNTIiXQ
49 Cent apps to celabrate.
My phone just auto-updated. Just had to re-accept the EULA and it was just like the normal market. Not sure about my TF since it is at home right now.
Mine just got updated.

yeah they should have kept the name but just merged the other services.

After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks
Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7
Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.
Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)
Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?
Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

Amazon Appstore problems?

Is anyone else having problems with this? I am currently seeing 2 problems.
1) not optimized for the screen resolution making sign in very difficult. This is to be expected so isn't a big deal.
2) appetite keeps signing me out which causes none of the apps to work until it is really signed into?
I thought the 2nd one might be related to the multi user ability of the tab but I only have a single user.
Anyone else seeing g this problem?

I have the same issues with the app.
I have no problem with the app. I signed in and setup everything already.
Yep, I see the same. The logging you out issue makes amazon appstore a showstopper for me right now.

I emailed Amazon and they say it's a known problem and are working on fixing it. no ETA
I was poking around Amazon and came across the Manage your devices menu. Its filled with the Nexus 10 over and over. It must be creating a new device ID every time we login.
I got this from Amazon and seems to work.

Please note that this is a temporary work around and is only for the time-being -- until we’ve the permanent fix available.

Google Wallet not working!!

I got my nexus 4 yesterday and i opened google wallet. It said "setting up....wait about 5 min" blah blah blah. After waiting i got this message, "Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the phone has network access and try rebooting if the problem persists." I tried rebooting it and it didn't work. i also have access to network. Would anyone know what could be the problem? Who else is having this?

Same problem here. Have you gotten it working yet?
I'm getting the same thing, got my RMA replacement phone in yesterday and haven't been able to get wallet setup yet. Called device support and was transferred to the wallet support team after trying to do app cache/data reset failed. Wallet people said they weren't sure what was going on either and punted to their escalation team. Currently stuck waiting to hear back from them to see wth is going on....
Had no issues with wallet on my original N4 and I'm guessing either these are refurbs that didn't get properly wiped, or something else screwy with the secure element. Or perhaps the wallet system doesn't like seeing more than one phone of the same type on an account (tho I did wipe my first N4 before setting the new one up).
After rooting mine it says it was an supported device but still let's me go in. Anyone know how to fix this?

Mine is also a RMA replacement unit. I also wiped my original one before sending it back. However, I forgot to disabled wallet from the web on that device before dropping off at UPS. My wallet device page now says wallet on that device will be reset once it connect to the sever. I an not sure if that has anything to do with the current problem.
Please keep us posted.

Same here with a replacement device. If I restore a backup from my fist n4 it works fine though.
I would retry setting up an account at a later time. As dumb as it sounds, it's taken me a few seconds to set up or almost an hour. I don't know why this is the case, but i'm sure it has something to do with google's service.
Supposedly the unsupported device message means nothing interms of the operation of the app. I have personally never been able to use Google wallet locally, even when I was unrooted.

Yea, on the Web it's showing the old device as disabled and I'd actually wiped from within the wallet app before signing in on my new device. I followed the same procedure when I upgraded to a 32G nexus 7 and didn't have a problem. Logcat is showing it's waiting on the secure element so I'm starting to lean towards this being a hardware defect.

Been trying this off and on since yesterday afternoon, keep hoping it'll decide to magically work. The unsupported device message is just a warning if you're rooted and hasn't prevented me from using it on my previous N4 or my old gnex.

Called Google support and transffered to Wallet support and this the reply I got:
<reply>
We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulties accessing the Google Wallet mobile app. You seem to have encountered a known issue, where the NFC Chip in your SIM card and the NFC Chip in your device are preventing you from accessing the application.
Our engineering team is working hard to fix this, but it will likely take a few weeks to be resolved. If you'd like to continue using Google Wallet, we suggest you try to use a different SIM card that does not

I don't think this is the cause of the problem I am having. I tried to launch Wallet without any SIM card in my phone and still got the same error. There couldn't be interference from the SIM card. At this point, I hope it is not a hardware problem. Otherwise, I'll have to RMA the phone, again...
I'm in the same boat. I received a replacement device yesterday and I was trying to get Google Wallet working all day to no avail. I also tried everything I could this morning and nothing. My last step was to do a factory reset before calling Google. I had no luck after a factory reset. I called Google a few hours ago and ordered yet another replacement. They sent me an RMA and I'm going to have to send back my original defective device back first (yellow on screen) then order a second replacement.
I think this is a hardware issue. Seems too coincidental that everyone that has received a replacement this week including myself are going through the very same issue with Google Wallet.
BTW, I'm not rooted or have an unlocked BL.
Edit: I didn't get a refurb. The replacement was brand new in a sealed box.
Is there any way to determine if this is really a hardware issue? I really don't want to go through another RMA if this is fixable by software. Not sure what else might be broken in the next replacement...

I have a rooted Nexus 4 and google wallet is not working. I don't think it's a sim issue: I'm almost sure is a google wallet problem:
With phone rooted but no google wallet installed, I passed the phone on a cab credit card machine,
the machine recognized a number and emitted a "beeeep". After I installed google wallet is no longer working

I have this same problem; I'm not convinced it's hardware, but I don't know how to be certain.
On my first N4, Wallet works all the time, with or without the SIM card. On my replacement N4, I always get stuck. Every other app that uses NFC (Android Beam, Barcode Scanner, Taginfo, stuff like that) works fine.
It's possible there's some hardware defect on the refurb batch, but I'd be more likely to blame software somewhere.
(FWIW, I also deactivated my first N4 and that made no difference. Both phones are completely stock and not even rooted.)
I don't have any problem activating Wallet on my first N4 either. It seems strange that all of a sudden people are having problem with their RMA replacement units.
Android beam works fine on the replacement, so the NFC is working. The problem could be just the secure element. The system log shows Wallet failed at initializing the secure element.
I called support the second time and they have escalated my case to a specialist. I hope it is just a software/firmware issue. Going through another RMA would be painful. The wait for the new unit, dropping off the old one, not sure what could go wrong with the new one, restoring my apps and settings, not to mention buying a new set of Skinomi invisible shields and reapplying them.... :banghead:

I came across a post for the Nexus 10 having the same problem. The issue is resolved by unistalling and backing up the original Wallet app using Titanium Backup, then download and install the Wallet app from the Play Store (older version). The app will activate fine. Then restore the one that comes with the phone.
I have no idea if this will fix the problem on our N4 and I am definitely not liable for any damage on your device if you try. However, it might worth a try if your pHone is already rooted. At least it will prove that the problem can be addressed by software.

One thing I have noticed (and apparently a bunch of other people) is that my replacement device is subtly different on the surface. I have a different black area around the rear camera and a different feel to the buttons. There's reportedly a different internal hardware revision too...
Hopefully this problem is something boring like a revision bump on the NFC chip that unexpectedly requires different initialization. :fingers-crossed:

I'm going to try root it again and see if it works. I just installed Liquidsmooth ROM thinking that it would work but it didnt.
Tried removing wallet with titanium backup and installed the market version, was able to do the initial sign in and setup steps but it failed to add any of my cards. Going back to the version that came with the phone just resulted in wallet crashing at startup. Cleared data and back to the same waiting on setup screen.
Out of curiosity, are folks using the android version the shipped with their phones? I flashed mine to 4.2.1 right out of the box so I'm wondering if that was my mistake.

Issues with Amazon APP Store

I am running the latest CM10.1 nightly and recently I have been having a constant issue with the Amazon App Store. I constantly need to relogin to the app store and it appears that according to Amazon the device is showing up as a new device IE Nexus 4 1, Nexus 4 2, etc.
Anyone else having these issues or have a fix?

Should be a problem with the app rather than the ROM.
Are you flashing new nightlies every day?
I noticed this with flashing roms on my phones. The Amazon App thinks it's a "new" phone and adds it like that.
Be sure to delete all the duplicates in your amazon account. There's a limit. Same thing happens with my bluetooth in my car and Play Music app.
