Trying to install some paid apps from Appbrain. I've been able to successfully install and update FREE apps from there, but I can't get any paid apps to install.
I can get my 1.1 (Autonooter 3.0) NC to connect with Appbrain and see that I have paid apps to install, but when trying to do the install, the screen changes for a moment and then flips back.
Sadly, Appbrain's site doesn't seem to have any support links.
I sign onto Appbrain with my google account. I suspect that Appbrain doesn't have the ability to reach the credit card info at members' Google Checkout accounts.
RE: Paid apps
yea, it isn't possible to get paid apps from appbrain .you have to get paid apps from the marketplace.

Is there a way of updating apps i have downloaded onto my sd card ? I have a few installed but cant update them because i did'nt get them from the apps market place
Thanks
SD card has nothing to do with it, they're simply not linked with the market entry. Titanium Backup has an option to fix it called "Market Doctor".
Does this work with any downloaded app and on any phone ?
I have a HTC HD2 windows phone but has been altered to run on android
Thanks
Well, any rooted phone... I've got no idea what it'll do if the device isn't. It has worked with any application I've restored so far, meaning applications that were either free or that I bought.
I've got no idea what it'll do if the app is not in your account... which wouldn't be a good idea to begin with.
Tried the titanium backup ,still cant update apps from sd card ?
Did you do long-press on app, Attach to market (forced) in Titanium?
Done that but it's asking me to pay for the update
That has to be a different issue... if it's in your account, the Market replaces all "Buy" buttons with ones saying "Purchased", no matter whether you actually have it installed. Is it listed under "My Apps" this way?
Where did you get the apps from in the first place?
If you got them from another app store ie. Getjar, Amazon etc. you can only update through that store, even though it may be available on the Android Market.
EDIT: Unless, of course, they're free. Then you can just download the app you want updating from the Market, which will then notify you of future updates.
I downloaded it from a file share torrent. The app itself costs money so was looking to try and upgrade for free .There have been quite a few updates from the one i have downloaded so all the functions wont work , i have the basic things working but not all
In that case let me congratulate you on obtaining a free virus. Hopefully Google is as good at reading logs as they are at reading webpages.

You're admitting to obtaining warez on a developer forum.

You know that what you're doing is illegal, right?
How can you expect updates for a paid app if you don't pay for it. People have to download it legally, crack it, and upload it to fileshare sites for every single update, so the update process isn't going to be fast.
I suggest you stop stealing and pay for the apps you want.
The actual app i downloded is free ,i am new to all this and only found out after downloading it ,dont think downloading free apps from a share site is illegal
Have a look at an app called Atrackdog. There are 2 versions one of which is to update apps on the SD card. The apps don't have to be from the market as far as I am aware.

When flashing a new rom, does the android market automatically download free and paid apps to the phone? I ask because in myapps list only shows paid apps and all free apps are missing and nothing is auto downloading. I've wiped the cache. Maybe I'm not fully understanding out the marketplace works when doing a new flash/system install.
It doesn't download anything unless you click on the apps to request them. Free apps won't be registered or remembered with your Google account, only apps you have purchased from the market will be listed as available. You then need to click on each of those to get them on your phone again. (Of course you won't need to pay for them the second time around.)
thanks. I realized this after hours of searching and weeding through a bunch of people referring to paid apps. it's a drag android does this though, but oh well. i have a titanium backup, so I'm good, i just felt like doing a fresh download since going to new SD card and phone, but titanium backup will work.
So, I was able to access the Amazon Appstore and get the free apps it offer each day, but its way of functioning is annoying me:
I purchase an app for $0.0 on the amazon website, and now I own it, the Appstore App on android will popup saying you need to download this app and I do this, but later if I uninstalled it for some reason and that app got updated, I get a notification to redownload and install the new version (even without having it currently installed).
under the New list of MyApps, i see all new versions without the possibility to remove them from that list.
the only way to remove this nagging is to go to Amazon My Apps website and delete the app from the list, which removes the purchase, and if you want to have it later you need to re-purchase it.
I even tried to install the Amazon Appstore on my new tablet, and I got all the apps I have on the "New" list of the tablet.
Is there a way to make it function as the Android Market: if I own an app it is just there in my apps list, if i want to install it ok, if now just don't do anything.
Yep, you've read that right: I'm looking for a way to download some FREE apps from google play without having the market installed. To make a long story short: I don't like the market to know what my phone runs. So is there any software I could download there free app "My Callya" with? Have looked everywhere on the interwebs, but can't find it. I'd be more than happy about a download link to it though.
Why not use titanium backup, and just remove the market links after downloading it.

It's not about the links on my phone, but some issue I generally have about privacy when hearing the word "Google". Therefore, how to get the goodies without using the market?
If you're not going to use Google Play, you'll have to use another market. I came across http://androidpit.com which might be useful to you. It also allows you to buy apps with paypal.
But isn't there a way to obtain the free APKs without such software?
Not from Google Play. It requires a unique device ID that you can only obtain by actually registering your device with Google.
And once you've done that you might as well just get it from Play.
Fair. Any other recommendable place where the device ID is not required?
No matter what you're using, you'll have to have a secondary market of some sort. There's also the Amazon Appstore which you can install from Amazon.com and it doesn't use your device ID, just your Amazon account. Really, you just have to choose a place you trust since you seem to be really concerned with privacy and who stores data about what apps you have.
You can try Amazon, but you won't find all of the apps that are available in the Play Store. You can always search for the apks online, since people tend to post them for others that cannot access them for whatever reason. If you're interested in purchasing apps, Amazon would be the way to go, or most devs have a way to purchase from their website. Installing the Amazon Appstore will help you with a lot of apps that you'd like to download, plus they feature one paid app for free every day. If you "purchase" it while it's free, it will be tied to your Amazon account so that you can install it on another device as well or reinstall if you decide to uninstall it. Most of the free apps of the day are crap, but every now and then you'll find a good one.
I'll see if I can find the app you're asking for on the Market, download it, and post the apk for you.
Edit: Couldn't find the app on Google Play. I must not be able to access it due to screen resolution or OS version or something. If you know that it's in the Play Store because you've seen it from the website, maybe someone else can access it for you. If not, check the Market website and make sure it's still published and hasn't changed names or something.
Ohhh, and I think I read about an extension for Chrome that allows you to directly download apks from the Play Store website. I don't know if your Google account has to be registered to a phone or not.
kind of late but if anyone else is looking for a solution, this might work as stated above.
it basically turns the google play store links into downloadable .apk links
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
To get started, enter the web URL of any app listed on the Google Play store and click the “Generated Download Link” button. The APK download app will fetch the APK file from the Google Play store and will host it on its own servers from where you downlaod the file.
Since the APK files are directly fetched from the Google Play Store, it’s unlikely that the Android App will be infected with any malware. Also, to prevent app piracy, the APK downloader only lets you download free apps and games from the Google Play store, not the paid ones.

Interesting. Does this thing also load PRO-apps for free?
I want to start a study on Google play market. First, I need to collect all the apps' information from Google play. Unfortunately, I can only see the top 504 free apps (21 pages) and 504 paid apps in each category. I even tried to manually create the URLs with given offsets, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know if there are any ways or tools that can see all the apps in Google Play?
