Amazon app store-my problem solved - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I restored my apps with titanium backup but for some reason the amazon apps wouldnt start i kept getting this error :
unknown error please download app from amazon appstore again
i uninstalled it and tried many things but the simple thing of it is everytime i installed a new rom or theme it registered my device so i had like all these devices registered under my name. So i deregistered them all and reinstalled amazon app store and they worked fine for me for then on.
I posted this because other people might be getting frustrated with this appstore like i was.

This is another reason I prefer MyBackup Root to Titanium. I don't get these issues when I restore with MBR, but I get all kinds of issues when I used to use TiBu.

[Q] Gtablet Market pre-purchased apps

I purchased a few apps on my g tablet and re purchased a few I had already bought before realizing the market wasn't showing apps that I had purchased. I then did a test:
I bought an app
Removed the app
Used the market to try to download the app again
And the market wants me to buy the app AGAIN!!!
What can I do to fix this?
I'm running TnT Lite.
Does Vegan have this problem as well?

Are you purchasing an app for the first time? If you buy something for the first time, then immediately uninstall (within 15 minutes), then you returned the app. The 2nd purchase will be final and you will not be able to refund, thus it will remain in your library of apps tied to that specific Gmail account.
If some apps aren't showing, try this additional Market fix (in addition to the standard Market fix)

No I did not refund the app.
Example:
I bought beautiful widgets on my samsung epic.
Beautiful widgets does not show as purchased on the market app in the tablet.
So I purchased beautiful widgets on the tablet.
Now I re-flashed a ROM onto my tablet and market will not let me download beautiful widgets. It wants me to buy it again.
Make sure you are logged into the Google account from which you made the purchase. That's all I can think of.
I have purchased apps and have never had an issue like you've described - they travel to every tablet I log into and can be downloaded. That includes my GTAB with TNT Lite.
I honestly don't remember where I purchased them, but it was probably on my GTablet, most likely. I would also suggest verifying that the Google ID you used to purchase them is the ID being used on the GTablet. Also, my purchased apps always show up even before I do the Market fix.
Lastly, try this: https://market.android.com/account
You should see every app you've ever downloaded for your Google ID, including the purchased ones.
I decided to try Vegan since the market wasn't working with TnT, so I installed clockwork mod, reformatted the SD partition to 2048, installed Vegan (without the supplement) and tried the market.
Now the market remembers all my purchased apps, but the market was limited (not all apps were showing).
So I then installed titanium backup and did the titanium backup market fix. I rebooted and now everything is working.
I am choosing not to install the Vegan supplement because I read that the market isn't working correctly with it.
Hope this helps someone.

[Q] Titanium Backup Market Links Problem

Hi, sort of an odd request.
I usually use Titanium Backup on flashing new roms to restore what I have previously purchased. Recently I got two free apps of the day from Amazon, and downloaded one (Drisk) which I want to purchase now.
Problem is I restored on flashing a new rom, and tried the link to market on these apps. I have detached it in Titanium Backup and uninstalled the app, but the problem is now even on the web browser, these apps are incorrectly showing as purchased, so I cannot buy them which is what I want to do.
I have cleared all market data, detached in TB, uninstalled, and it still thinks I bought them, but on install it states declined.
How can I undo/fix this so I can buy these apps through the official market?
Update, in the event others have this issue. I had to detach from market in TB, uninstall, then clear data/cache for the Market app. It seems after waiting they gradually correct the status in the market. I have been able to buy 2 of the 3 apps now, just waiting for the last one to show as non-purchased again.

How do you "detach" in TiBU?

Hello! I am so unbelievably desparate I'm almost ashamed of myself hahaha did this method work for you? I "obtained" an emulator and then the market believed I had purchased it and now am unable to buy it so I can own the amazing app....so disappointing. Contaced Google and the developer--only Google answered and with the generic "We are aware of this problem and are currently working on it." I'm curious...once I detach from market through TB, how long must I wait until the option changes from "purchase" to buy?"

[Q] Can't detach app from market, nothing works

I restored some apps after installing tasks latest rom, by the way this has NOTHING to do with his rom. Anyway a few apps have been attached to the market that I bought from other sites. I cannot remove them, I have tried everything, uninstalling them and the market, re installing the apps then the market, using tb to install backup apps without data and then the market without data, clearing all caches for apps and market, and whole cache with cwr. If i use tb to detach app from market, then open the market and press my apps they are gone, but as soon as the list refreshes they are back :-(. This isn't a major problem, just very annoying.
Any help would be great
Also on my stock rom i have the same problem, the apps must be locked in to my market account or somthing
Over 80 views and no reply.....lol
Over 150 now lol :-O has nobody got any ideas?
I'm bumping this cause I'm having the same issue. I got apparatus from Amazon months ago, but it no longer receives updates. Since it's one of the 10 cent apps today I've tried installing it from the market. I'm seeing a same issue as the OP. I've uninstalled, detached from the market etc.. but when I go into the Android market it's still marked purchased. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...it seems you have to be on the ROM that the app was initially linked to the market. I have gotten a few apps to detach, but only the ones that I installed on my current ROM.
I tried going back to previous ROMs for the other apps but it wouldn't work.
Really dumb...the only actual solution is to make another account for purchasing apps.
It happened to me all on the same rom, still can not detach them on any rom. It is more the annoying now as all the apps coming on for 0.10, I can't buy them cos if I uninstall them they still show as purchased but can't download them cos the market finds no license. Getting annoying now. My phone doesen't show them as purchased as I use the same account on phone and tab, my phone just shows the apps I actually purchased on the market.
This app has this feature:
https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXBQcm8iXQ..
It's also made by a fellow Greek, so you're supporting our economy by buying it

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me at all. After "detach" TB reports that application is detached but nothing is changed in market.

Lol if you had read my op you wouldn't have wasted time posting that link.
As I said, tb does not work. And all these months later I still have the problem. Never found a solution. Just gave up and learned to live with it. Unfortunely the only way of updating them apps is downloading pirated copies, I don't care if that is wrong cos I payed for the apps and games so am entitled to the updates lol

[Q] can't download chrome or swiftkey

Hi guys
Today I did a restore from a 2 day old nandroid backup because ubersocial and swiftkey had started playing up so I thought I'd go back to before I'd updated them. Of course I did another full backup before restoring, but when I restored the 2 day old backup I found I'd lost all my widgets, and two of my most used apps - swiftkey and google chrome were missing. I didn't think it would be a problem, I just went to the marketplace to redownload the apps, but when I did I got the error message "unknown error occured "-24"", and the apps failed to install. I have no idea why this happened, but as it stands I can't reinstall two of my favourite apps.
Any ideas people?
I've had this before.
Try removing your Google account from within settings reboot and add it back in again. Go into the play store and tray again.
I think this happens to me because I restore the account settings from titanium backup. It will be interesting to see if this fixes it for you as well.

[Q] Apps showing as purchased even though I didn't buy them

Ok so this is a pretty strange issue. On my Galaxy SIII, I just upgraded to 4.4. I have 3 Google accounts with paid apps, but am trying to consolidate that down to one, so I don't have to sign in to all of them to get my apps, and I often get 403 errors when updating. I know the apps don't transfer, and I will have to repurchase them with this primary account. I am fine with that. However, Google Play doesn't seem to like that idea.
I did a clean flash, and signed into only this primary account. However, the Play Store is somehow saying that the apps I've purchased with my other accounts are purchased with this primary account. But when I try to install them I get a stupid 403 error. Even stranger, I installed Titanium Backup, and it's magically saying I'm using the Pro version (I purchased the key with one of the other accounts, have not installed it).
When I look in my browser at the apps I purchased with accounts other than my primary, it says they are already installed, even though they are not. I've tried everything I know. Does anybody have a clue why this might be happening or a solution?
Titanium Backup has a feature called Market Doctor which scans for all your Play Store links, and you can use it to break them too. That'd be the first thing I would try, because it's easy and I'm lazy. lol
Thanks. I was able to install using TiBu, use the 'Detach from Market' option, and uninstall to get it working.
New, unrelated question. I'm trying to restore my SMS messages using TiBu, but it is continuously asking if I want to use TiBu instead of Hangouts as my SMS app. I have clicked No about 50 times so far but it keeps coming up. Any way around this?

Nope, you gotta do that on 4.4. Once it is done restoring it'll ask you if you want to switch back. This is normal behavior.

First off, I'm glad someone else had this problem, because I was about to post an almost identical thread.
I have an additional problem though...there are a few apps I would like to repurchase on my primary account for which I no longer have TiBu files. Any ideas for how I could get those back?

Hmm. Depending on what kind of app it is, you might be able to "find" them, install, use TiBu to break the link and uninstall so you can install them officially. Other than that, not really sure.
