You can set up play store to have a pin whenever you try to make a purchase (it is somewhere in play store settings). Some here have said that it is quite easy for kids to get around but I am sure there are ways and means to stop them.
Edit I just found this for some added security

If they learn how to clear the Play Store cache in Settings - Apps, that'll remove the PIN and they'll be able to do what ever they want. I had to do this on my gf's son's as she forgot the PIN to his account, and he couldn't download what he wanted to with his Play Store credit.

is it likely Iwill run into any issues if i use both play store apps and amazon apps? noticed the other day amazon wanted to update an app i got from play.. or maybe it was the other way round!

You won't run into any problems. If the Google Play store wants to update one of your Amazon apps... do it! It gets updates weeks ahead of Amazon and is generally the better store. It'll also allow all your newly converted Google apps (aka update via Play) to update automatically... something Amazon lacks. Just don't allow the Amazon store to update via Play. The Play version is slower...
ah ok. i have disabled any automatic updates through amazon app store. amazon still wants to update netflix and skype. may remove the amazon stuff. only thing i will miss is the free daily app.
also noticed that go store wants to update my tvchatup app and the rootcheckbasic app..

You could just keep both. I use mostly the Play store with Amazon being used for the occasional free daily app. As I mentioned before, it's generally best to let your apps update through Google Play.
ok thanks, will do. keep turning amazon app updates and use play

Howdy,
I'm wondering if anyone has been able to get the Hangouts app to work on their N4. I'm running the latest nightly of CM 10.1. I went to install Hangouts from the Play store and it says that I have it installed. However my app is still called Talk and has the Talk interface. Has anyone had luck getting this updated?
Nevermind heh. I just used CM File Manager to move the talk.apk from /system/app to a backup location. Then I went to the Play store and tried again. This time it installed the new version.
I had the same issue. My solution was to go onto the Web store and install it from there to my phone. Seemed to do the trick.

Interesting, I tried that first but it didnt work for me.
I wish I could edit my title so it is more descriptive...
Just uninstall the original Talk app first (using Titanium or anything that's capable of remiving system app).
Seriously i rated this with 1 STAR.
It must say: "Replaces Talk AND REMOVE THE F$$$ING VOICE-CALL FEATURE FROM YOU Talk".
Its best to remove Talk and then install Hangouts.
Does anyone know how to get this working with the N4 if it's not rooted?

Nope - I have two stock, unmodified, new Nexus 4's... one upgraded no problem with the new Google Hangouts that properly replaced Google Talk... and the other, upgrades with Google Hangout but in the app list and everywhere else, still shows Google Talk but no Google Hangout. Under all apps, Google Talk is still shown. If you open it from there, the old Talk launches. If you search Google Play for Google Hangouts, it shows 'Installed' and if you open Google Hangouts from there, it launches the old Google Talk.
Very strange.... gonna try clearing some app data and what not to see if it resolves.

Should I also unplug it and wait 30 seconds?
I have the same issue as OP. I can't uninstall Talk (no root) and the play store is showing that hangout is installed. I open it and Talk comes up.

Please let us know if you figure anything out. I'm on stock as well and I'm starting to regret it because of updates like this. I bought this phone for updates but so far, it seems to be behind on that(4.2 OTA took a week). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling google+ and that didn't work. I thought it might be tied to g+ since Google is trying to make it more involved with Android. I might root this weekend if I don't get it soon.

I had the same problem earlier trying to download it from the play store app, so I went to the desktop play store site and remotely installed it from there and it worked.

Google have addressed this as follows:
Google said:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!

I was having the same issue as others. It shows as installed on the phone (v 1.0.0.1) and via Play Store in a browser.
I was able to use a browser and install it to my wife's Nexus S though.
Here is the APK for v 1.0.0.678017 which I was able to side load and works fine on my N4.
Due to APK file size, I had to upload it in a ZIP archive.
Thanks mate, I had the same issue on my JB Xperia. Your APK worked.

for me updating without uninstall talk works fine!
N4!
Didnt work for me at first. Then i went to the web app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC50YWxrIl0.) and pressed install. Installation was pushed to my device and now it works great!

I made the same mistake. I removed the update "3.6.1.44747389", but now the market pushes "3.6.0.44338848" instead. Not sure what the difference is, but I side loaded a backup of the newer version.
The apk SpookyTunes posted worked for me, I have it on my Galaxy tab 2.
I have a KF 7'' Amazon version on 11.3.1.0 I have it completely rooted with a working google play and google+ linked to my device so I can make in game purchases useing google play store, the only problem is when I download a app off google play store, it crashes the store and I have to force stop to reopen it.

That's because Google Play is view only at the moment. Attempting to download is not advised, yet.

I think most users are aware that this forum is for the HD2012,
Currently there is no dedicated form form for 2013 version so this one is the closest.

@LE: Is there any solution to get the Google Play Store working on the KFHD7 11.3.1.0 you know of?
Or will I just have to wait it out? Thanks and greetings!
Hi, I just switched to Android from Windows Mobile. I'm using a nexus 6p. I'm having some issues with the play store where it doesn't check for app updates. I could see update if I search for the app through play store. No update being shown under my apps and games in playstore. I already update to the latest play store through apk. What can I do to fix this issue? Thank you.
If you go into Play Store then Settings, look if you have "Do not auto update apps" checked.

I already enabled automatically update apps. Btw, i found a way to fix it. Turned off the phone, removed sim, insert back and boot up. Voila, its all good now. Thank you.
That's good to hear!
