Does anyone know if it's possible to link the android/google market with the Amazon appstore or visa versa.

I know that, but when I go to update my application is there no way of the android market knowing that I've downloaded application from another source. They both basically have the same applications
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Why would one update an app bought from the other? If you are buying from both you must have both market apps on your device, right? So together all your apps are being updated.
Don't really see the issue here.

Try to install the app from Amazon and then use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor", it might work
Nah that won't work for paid apps. It'll show as installed in the Market, but if you try and update via the Market you'll be prompted to pay.

Exactly. I tried this with setcpu apk installed. But was prompted to pay before I could get the update.

did you then have a problem whereby market was always prompting for an update for an app you had bought via amazon? if so, how do you stop market banging on about an app you cant update?
Use Titanium Backup to break the market link.
Since updating to 4.2 I now have to login on the Amazon App Store every time I use the app... And every time I use an Amazon purchased app...
Before 4.2 it strayed logged in...
Any thoughts?
Are there any new settings in 4.2 that control / affect login preservation?
Thanks

I had same problem and thats one of the many i had with 4.2, its complete junk and should never have been released, I used mskip toolkit to revert back to 4.1.1, its easy other than losing all your data and having to redo everything, but its better than a bug ridden os

The last I checked, it was up to third party app developers to revise their apps to keep up with what is essentially a major update to the OS and not the other way around. The bugs that I've encountered thus far are attributable to third party apps.

I'm not going to argue about this again, but Googles own stinking apps would not even work with the update, like the YouTube app, current and Gmail crashed so ya im not buying that. Why can't you people just admit, they screwed up? Die hards or you must work for Google.

Amazon Market and Amazon Apps and Amazon MP3 have been updated.
Everything working great here. Never saw any problem with YouTube.

In the history of OS upgrades, this is the first time programs/apps have crashed on release of an OS update/upgrade. Never has a program failed under a Windows/DOS update/upgrade, the Mac's OS, or UNIX, the Atari's OS or the Amiga OS, the Heathkit H8 running CPM...a CompuColor II. Nope.... This crash stuff has never happened until Android.
Sarcasm... look it up.

No ideas on the issue but wanted to confirm I am seeing the same issue. And every time I log in it is adding another device to my Amazon account. After reaching 25 registered devices you have to go to your account and deregister devices in order to allow the new login.

LOL. You may want to get some professional help for those paranoid delusions. Rest assured that not everyone who disagrees with your opinion is either a die hard or works for Google. On the contrary, it's simply a matter of applying some basic critical thinking skills and arriving at a conclusion supported by rational, valid premises.

Lol I never said other os' have not had problems, I would be mad if this was any other op as well. Google monkeys seem to be the worst though, they keep showing their lack of programming on YouTube that they bought and are trying to ruin. The YouTube app and webpage versions are riddled with problems, if you use them, you will understand what I'm saying.

Yes, and one of the major problems with this is I already have a few android devices and try to manage them from a PC. It's now impossible because when I try to push a purchase to my N7 Android, I can't retrieve it because i have to log into Amazon from the N7 again and it registers as a new device which is no longer matched by the pushed purchase.
The Amazon App Store also did this to me when the bootloader was unlocked in 4.1.2 - when I locked it the problem cleared up - then when I did the update to 4.2, the problem came back... Very frustrating...

Do I have to be rooted or unlocked to revert back?

Shees people, it is not that hard.
If you are having problems with the app store, just uninstall it and reinstall it.
That does NOT work, I've tried it twice. A factory reset will probably fix it, but no plans to do that.... will wait for Amazon fix, although getting very impatient (why did I ever set such a long complicated password) Never rooted, just OTA update.

Just to make sure I was not blowing smoke:
After installing the updated Amazon App store, I did have to log in - once.
I also had to indicate which credit card on my account would be used for purchases.
Subsequent use of the app did not require me to log in again, until I power cycled.
Then I had to log in again. Credit card was remembered.
I downloaded the free app of the day before power cycling, and another free one after.
Both downloaded and installed fine. They work too.
Except for having to log in again after power off, everything works as expected with 4.2.
App version is 2.6.53 (found on settings within App Store).
... hey, I'd be careful doing a factory restore; the official Amazon app is unavailable from Google Play for us 4.2 users.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I think you're one of the lucky ones. I can log in, can look at account balance, got free app of the day... but it automatically logs off about once every hour or two. If I'm logged in, then I turn off wifi, none of my Amazon apps will work (says I need to log in). Turn on wifi, Amazon is still connected (for a little while), and apps work fine. Once it disconnects (even on wifi) any app I try gives a log in message.
So far logged in 5 times today. Looking at my account on a PC, I have 6 Nexus 7 devices (from today). Not rooted, normal OTA update. I think you were one of the lucky ones!
edit: I just looked and I have 12 registered N7's... got rid of the 11 oldest ones... no help. I decided to delete all 12 and have them send a new apk via email. Just installed and logged in. Will report back when/if it disconnects.
edit2: Only took 30 minutes to ask for sign in again. Adds device on every sign-in.

Grumble - I just logged onto Amazon on my PC. App store shows 4 registered Nexus 7s.
That qualifies as broke... Also shows I don't use the Amazon App store much.
How do we notify Amazon?
Well I sent an EMail to Amazon Customer Service.

The official Amazon app has been "incompatible" with the N7 since day one, regardless of version since we lack a forward camera. The workaround is to either sideload the apk, or installing from the Amazon appstore.

Hello Thomas,
I'm sorry for the trouble you've been having with constantly having to log back into the.
I've reported this to our technical team, and they're working on taking care of it.
Please try updating the Amazon Appstore app in the next few days.
Errors like this are usually corrected shortly after they're reported.
Thanks for your patience while we fix this problem. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?
- Brian
I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.
I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.
I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.
I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.
Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.
Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.
I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).
The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.
Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.
I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

So with Google I/O finished and the new Play Store update. I'm wondering has anyone test the new App Data sync option that's under accounts? Is it just for games or all apps? I've tried it between my Nexus 7 and Droid X with no avail. No app data syncs.
Anyone have any more info for this feature or have got it to work?
I'm also very interested to know more about this. As a dev it would be a great new feature for some of my apps.
Can't find any info from Google about the subject.

At Google I/O a list of game developers who have implemented that feature was displayed. Apparently apps have to be updated to take advantage of the feature, it doesn't work for all apps. Also, it was mainly intended for the 'cloud saves' feature of Google Play Game Services, so it's mostly for games. I'm not sure if regular apps can use this feature to sync data, but that will be great if it is possible and developers start to use it.

If you watch the Google I/O 2013 keynote, you'll see the list on screen during the app data sync announcement. Yeah this feature would have been better if it was implemented by the system itself for all apps. Currently it only works if apps explicitly allow it.

Yep and this is one thing that keeps customers on Apple side. Not worrying about lossing your high score and level you at. Pick up where you left off when you buy a new device. Delete the game? just go to the App Store and redownload it and your data is back. Sad. Wish Google would wake up already and implement it. Thank god for Helium.

I visited the site and it is ok just reviews of the latest apps for Android Wear, I think its a good place for indie developers to showcase their apps, Google featured only 18 apps so far and its all from huge companies, its a good thing that there are site for Android Wear where indie can show off their apps.
Any favorite Android Wear app from first 18 apps in Google Play?
