hey there everyone.. I just got my O1 back from the service center (after 8 days, one more day and I would have been writing from hell! ) anyways, they changed its motherboard since I had messed it up with clockwork mod and it refused to boot up. So what I have now is a completely blank phone. My question is how do I restore all the apps that I had downloaded and installed on my "previous" O1 by using my google account? First of all, can it be done? If yes, then how?
Even if I could get some kind of a list of what apps I had downloaded, it would be really helpful!
Thanks!

isn't that apps linked into account? I mean - when you login into google's account, than you should see in market paid applications.
If you mean only list of used apps at all - its not possible. I'm using AppBrain where this possibility is. You can browse market on web and just add application into list. After that in phone select synch with appbrain and it list you all application which you checked and you can install all of them by one click.
umm.. Earlier, when I used to go to the download section of the android market on my phone, I could see all the apps that I had installed but now, even after linking with the same email id, I am getting a blank downloads page. Why is it so? Am I making any sense?

I think that it have to do with market history. But if you have some new phone... it is possible that it was cleared.
I think it maybe cleared only. Anyways, gotta download them all again!

After moving from SC to OTA ED01, 2 of my paid apps don't remember that I paid for them. They show as purchased when I look at my market account on the web, but not when I use the app. If I try to install them from the web, they don't download on the phone (other apps do, but not these two.) If I restore the apps from backup, they both revert to the free version.
The two apps are TitaniumBackup and BackcountryNavigator.
Any ideas? I can always contact the authors, but the fact that they're both doing the same thing leads me to believe it's not a problem with the apps.
This sounds like its a problem with your google data on you phone itself.
Have you tried clearing/wiping and letting it sync again?
I really have no background in this but I think it pulls from your google account to check against a database of what you have flagged as purchased and not.
If anything its a place to start.
Might try and browse the market through the browser on your phone and see if it shows up as purchased that way.
I did clear the market data, reboot, and then let it resync. It got everything except these two. I'll try it from the phone browser and see what happens. I'm also thinking of flashing ComRom, maybe that will fix whatever the hangup is.
Well the issue persists after installing the community rom. I'm about out of ideas.
Oh good lord, I finally found the answer. It depends on the order in which you enter google accounts on the phone. I have an apps account and a gmail account. When I first got the phone, I started it up with the apps account. But when I started flashing ROMs I entered the gmail account first as it's the one I had purchased the apps with. Nope, that doesn't work. They have to be entered in to the phone in the same order as they originally were. *shakes head* That is just sooooo frickin stupid.
Here's the thread I found the answer in.

Thank you SO much, I appreciate the way you formatted this reply. You gave a short concise account of what you discovered in your own words AND provided a link for others to where you found the information in case they need further clarification. Hopefully others will catch on and make this a standard community process... thank you again, now hopefully I can get NFS Shift back... I've paid for it twice now!
After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.

Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

I mainly plan to use my NT as a reader, but I am interested in adding Kindle / Amazon App Store / Android Marketplace just to have the access. I've been successful except for 1 thing.
I'm not interested in a special launcher as 90% of my activity is going to be straight from the NT home page. What I'm wanting to do is put shortcuts to the third party apps on the stock NT home page. Before you say it, YES I've read the FAQ.
The FAQ directs me to get "Nook Color App Manager" from the Android Marketplace. 2 questions:
1 - Android market won't let me D/L anything. I login fine with my Google account info, but it tells me there are no Android phones associated with my login and refuses the download. I can see the app on the screen, but can't get it. How do I get around that since I don't have an Android phone??
2 - I've read that with the newer versions, the app manager isn't going to allow me to put shortcuts on my home screen anyway. Can someone confirm or deny if this functionality still works? I'm on rooted 1.4.0 by the way.
Thanks all!

Try clearing the data and cache for the market in app management. That should get it to show up.

Not sure I understand what you're htelling me. Clearing the cache should get WHAT to show up?? Market won't let me download it. Tells me there is no phone associated with my google account.

I believe clearing data & cache in the Market app will force your NT to re-associate with Android Market.
I believe that is one of your aims.
It didnt work. I'm logged into the Android market through the web browser and my gmail account. Is that right, or is there a standalone app for the NT? When i click the web d/l link on the app I want, a popup comes that says something to the effect of "there is no Android phone associated with this account. Please sign in with another account."
Does that make sense?

It would assist others in helping you if you would differentiate between using the NT or your PC. (Both platforms have browsers and can access a Google account.)
There is a stand alone app for your device "Android Market". I believe it comes in the gApps package when using Indirect's root method.

Depends on if you are using the "Market" app or a web browser.
OK. I think I got it now. I don't like having alot of extra "stuff" on my NT, so I only used the root script to do the root and declined everything else. i went back and let the Gapps install, and it seems to be working now. Sorry for not be clearer in my original question, but all is well now.
Thanks again!

Glad you got it working!
A few days ago I flashed a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM to my Nexus 4 and restored the Titanium backup to it.
Today I realized that when I get apps from the Play Store website, they never get downloaded to the device. Downloading via Play Store app works fine. I followed these suggestions but nothing helped:

Have you tried re-linking your phone to your Google account?
First you will have to add a different account to delete (and later re-add) the old one
Go to Settings<Accounts<Add Account.
After you did that delete the old one that you are having trouble with.
Reboot is recommended.
Then go to the play store from your computer and make sure you login to your new account synced with your phone. Now try downloading a app from here. If it works then go ahead and add your old account back in and delete the new one.
Easy.
Hope it works!

Thanks for the tip but it didn't help. The apps download automatically when I use my second account but when I went back to the primary one nothing happens.
Problem solved!
The ID of my phone changed after flashing the fresh ROM and apps purchased through the website were being pushed to the old ID.
If similar thing happens to anyone: go to Play Store and scroll to the bottom, click My Orders & Settings and go to Settings tab. Make your current device visible and uncheck the previous ID.
Well I think it might be a problem with your new ROM.
Have you resign in to the Google account ?
apps wont update

I`m currently running a standard Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - never modded or anything - still locked to my current cell network.
My girlfriend came downstairs very upset with me. I didn`t know why. She grabbed my phone, opened my downloaded apps list and my downloaded / installed list states that I had either downloaded or installed Snapchat. She currently is furious thinking that I've been sending anonymous pictures / chats with others.
To my knowledge I can never remember downloading or installing this app on my phone (I've had it over a year and a half). Based on where it is in my download list, it was added to my list at some point between the evening of Feb 9th and sometime during the day on Feb 10th. I've determined this based on the apps I downloaded before and after snapchat shows in the list. Are the apps in the "all" list in chronological order? Or can they show up randomly?
With that being said, I certainly DID NOT download, install or use this app. However, because it is showing up in my download list, she believes that I'm lying to her. Is there any other way this app would show up in my "All" list aside from it being actually downloaded or installed? I have no knowledge of how this is showing up there and I have no way of proving to her that I didn't install it.
All I have found is that the App itself was recently updated on February 10th as per the Google Play store website for the app at - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapchat.android
and on February 11 for apple phones as per the iTunes page for Snapchat: itunes.apple.com/ca/app/snapchat/id447188370?mt=8
if I had downloaded it at some point in the last year and a half and then deleted it, could it show up in my "All" history because it was updated by the vendor? Is there any other kind of explanation for it showing up in my list? I have no idea how it is showing there and I am at my wits end because as this point she believes I'm cheating on her which I am most certainly not. However, without any other proof, its hard to say that I'm not when I have no explanation.
if anyone could share with me their knowledge, insight or provide feedback on how this may have happened, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Your app could show in all apps if you installed it previously on any other phone if your google account was signed in on that phone. That means if your previous phone used that account, or you signed in your friends phone and it synced the app it could stay in your app list on google play. Basically every app that you ever installed on any phone that was signed in with your google account will show in the play store.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I really appreciate it.
I can understand if I had downloaded it before in the past that it may be in my profile list under my gmail / google account somewhere in my history. Is there a reason why it would jump up in the list randomly? I ask this assuming that the "all" list is in chronological order of when the apps were downloaded? I had legitimately downloaded and installed some apps within the last few days and they show up at the top of the list. Where as older apps are lower in the list. Would the version updates maybe bump it up?
Many thanks again!
It could be possible. But i wouldn't really know because i don't track my app history, but in my case i install roms really often and it always wipes my data so i have to download all the apps i use again, and they are not in the top in all apps. And yes, some of the apps i downloaded a really long time ago are in the top. I don't know why. For instance, Aero kernel control app is pretty much in the top, and i had it installed when i ran kitkat on my phone and stopped using it when i installed lollipop and that was like three months ago. And it got updated recently. So i can't say for shure, but if you're not liying to your girlfriend, then you could say that to her. There could be many possibilities for that to happen, even if you didn't download the app personally.
