Hi,
All I've done so far is install free apps. What happens if I buy an app and install it on my current tablet, but then at some point sell the tablet for a newer tablet? Can I re-install the already-paid-for app if I use the original google account used to purchase it?
There doesn't seem to be a function to download the apps and save them as an install file, so you can back it up.
If anyone's had any experience with Amazon App store, how do they handle this? For Amazon, you're using your Amazon account, so it doesn't matter what google ID is used on the Android right?
If I have two tablets, is it possible to paid for program and install it on both tablets? Either with google app store or amazon's app store?

Answer to both is yes, at least for the Android Market anyway - I've never used Amazon's app store.

If you have rooted your TF you can install Titanium Backup and use this to backup any apps already installed, including their data.

Android Apps from the Market are all handled by the users email account and not per device. As long as you link your new device to your gmail (or other) account then it should sync with that device (I think).
Had no dealings with Amazon Market so I cant comment on that sorry.
Mark.
Android Market: Just log in with your Google credentials and you can redownload the apps.
Amazon: Same thing. You'll just have to verify its device one time via email or something.
I use Android Market & Amazon App store on both my my Nexus S & TF101. No problems.
But yes, I totally agree with Titanium Backup. It'll make things easier! Especially with game saves.
I run my family's fleet of android devices and can confirm that you can install Purchased Apps from the Android Market on as many devices as you want at once as long as the MAIN Google account is the same. I havent been able to test yet but it appears that Honeycomb now allows multiple accounts inside of the Android Market and I would assume that you could then install purchased apps from a secondary Google account now as well.
As for the Amazon Market, you can install Purchased Apps on as many devices as you'd like as long as the same account info is used. I use the Amazon Market to install purchased apps on all of the devices I manage because it allows me to do so without having to give access to my contacts, emails, and other items that a Google Account would sync.
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.

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...

Use titanium backup and just select angry birds or whatever app and data you want.

Except he doesn't have root.....
The adb backup system works, but only as an all or nothing option.
However, I've used an app called angrybirdssync that seems to work ok with all the Angry Birds versions, and doesn't need root:
Play store Link
There is also one called Datasync that works without root for some apps and I've been experimenting with 'saveshare' that uses Dropbox to sync game files..
It's really time Google sorted this out and got a proper sync system working for app data like whispersync for books - it shouldn't be that difficult to implement and if you have an android tablet and phone its a pain having to choose which device to play a game on to retain the save data.

I know it's 3rd party, but this app works really well (if you are rooted): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta
I just purchased my Nexus 7 yesterday and the default apps such as Play Books, Wallet, Play Magazines, Play Movies, Sound Search are all disabled by default. And after I enable them with Titanium Backup they are disabled after a reboot. When I try to use Play Books, none of my books will sync and a menu pops up saying I live in an unsupported country. I live in the United States and Play Books works without a problem on my S3. Oh, and the Play Books app also keeps having a menu pop up saying couldn't retrieve google play books library from google. Check your internet connection and try again. I've reflashed ROM. Done multiple factory resets. Wiped Play Books cache. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Anybody have a fix for this? And I bought the tablet from a local Sam's Club if that helps any.

What ROM are you running? Is it an Android 4.1.2 or 4.2 ROM?
So you flash a ROM then restore the files from a backup you made with Titanium Backup? Are you restoring app + data only, not system data? What happens if you just install Books normally, it'll sync just fine with your Google account and everything, so you won't lose anything.
Or are you using a gapps zip file to flash after you installed the ROM zip? You're not using an Android 4.1.2 ROM with an Android 4.2 gapps zip are you?

Go into settings and check your date and time.. This is what google uses to determine where you are. Also be sure that your google account.. From there website has the correct time and date zone..
The above should resolve your problem and is the most likely and overlooked cause...
Good Luck .....

I'm running the stock 4.2.1. It's just rooted nothing else. Even when the device was fully stock I still had the same problem. I never restore date with Titanium Backup. I always redownload everything.
You're logged into your Google account and everything fine? If you were having this issue right out of the box, I'd take it back and explain the issue and get it exchanged, something doesn't seem right here.

The only other suggestion would be is to contact Google, I've done that before with a Play Store issue/question, and it wasn't as bad as you'd think it would be. I'd explain the issue, and see what they say. Don't mention anything about being rooted etc, but it may be worth a shot there.

Yep all other Google services work like Gmail, People, Currents, cards saved on Google Now all that syncs fine. But Play Books just keeps doing the same thing over and over. I already check the date and time formats on tablet and on Google account from my computer and all was correct. I'd really hate to return it, it was the last one they had.
if it were me, id return to stock, unroot, and put 4.2.1 on and go from there...

Sounds like your GPS is placing you outside of the country. Open maps and see if it thinks you're in Africa or Asia.

I should have tried the gps without wifi on. Already got the new one and back home now. Tried it in the store to make sure it worked and I'm glad to say it does. They just got a new shipment in today so I lucked out. That nexus I returned must have thought it was still in China.
And thank you all for trying to help me! Really appreciate it. I love my new nexus 7 Had a Toshiba Thrive before this which I still have. This is my first nexus device. Really like the 7 inch screen and being able to hold it in one hand is a huge plus.
Glad you got this resolved, and glad you can enjoy your device!

So after being completely stock and updated to 4.2.1. I used the root tool to unlock bootloader. After it boots up play books, play movies, sound search, google wallet go missing. A factory reset doesn't work. Apparently the apps are there but disabled. After enabling in play store I get the not supported in your country. Like seriously wth.. this isn't my first rodeo. Decided to use the root toolkit but that was obviously a big mistake. Anybody else have this problem after unlocking bootloader?
Just to update those who care.. I called Asus and they ran the serial number and said it's a South American model. Wtf right? So I'm fixing to go return it and go buy a new one at Office Depot then call Asus while I'm there and have them check out the serial number to make sure all is good. Never knew it would be this difficult getting my Christmas present. Lol.

I'm planning to root my Huawei P8 Lite and remove all Google apps. I have some questions about this.
Since I will be using the stock ROM which was designed to be used with Google apps, what are the implications of removing them?
For example, there are some entries in settings that concern Google apps (keyboard, location, search, etc.). What will happen to those after I remove all Google apps?
I have never used stock ROM without Google apps so far, only CyanogenMod without Google apps on my old phone.
Also, what would be the best way to remove Google apps? I have have one way (olivier-m on GitHubGist, can't post a link), but it seems that this list is for ICS and JB. Is that list valid for Lollipop?
Thanks for help.
You need to root and get a root unistaller.

Obviously you will have to find a way to get your apps and updates. Further you should ensure that you have a different keyboard than the google one activated prior to deletion as well as a browser besides chrome etc.
Also make sure to always do a full backup before trying stuff like this. If it shouldn't work you can still ask us for further advice and reflash your backup.

I already have all the alternative apps ready, I've been using F-Droid on my old phone for the last 2 years so that part is taken care of.
Thanks for the tip about the keyboard, I didn't know that. And of course, I will do a backup before trying anything.

It'd be cool if you could keep us up to date on your experiences, since I'm personally interested in this matter.
Nothing bad would happen. I personally keep only Play Store and Google Play Services. I don't need other Google crap such as News Stand, Play Books, Play Music, Gmail, Drive, Youtube and especially Play Movies, Hangouts and Photos. I keep Play Store to buy apps basically and Play Services for in game achievements

I will. My plan is to backup, root, uninstall Gapps and replace them with F-Droid + open source alternatives. I'm very busy though so it might take few days, just so you know.
Update: I gave up from removing Gapps for time being because I wasn't able to successfully root my phone. I will probably wait until the end of the year until there are more options available (rooting and ROMs). Until then, I disabled Gapps and I'm using alternatives from F-Droid.

I rooted my phone and removed a lot of (system) apps and bloatware. I didn't make a list of all the apps I removed, but I can advice you to install Link2SD app and use the "Freeze" function for apps that you're unsure if they can be deleted. If you freeze the app and there's no strange behavior, it's probably safe to remove...
Hi Please help me, my google play store does not want to download anything, i tried factory restart and clearing the cache and clearing the data, but still not luck.
