Do apps downloaded through Amazon app store get automatic updates?
they get updated through the amazon app store, but i'm not sure if it's auto like the android market is. in you account in the amazon app store, look at your apps and it might list updates there.
Ive never had them auto update.
they do auto update there just very slow and very behind the market updates. But u will get updates there just very bad about them like samsung...LOL
That sucks. Lol

Hey guys,
For about 5 months now, I've been unable to purchase any apps in Google Play. In fact, I can't even see paid apps, only free ones.
I've tried clearing the data and cache for Google Play. I've restored the device to factory settings using the volume down and power button several times. None of that has worked.
I've emailed Google about it, but they have been useless. The only way for me to get paid apps on my tablet is to purchase them on my phone and then download them on my tablet. Which isn't ideal as some apps are incompatible on my phone. And I've noticed there are a lot of apps incompatible with the Transformer Prime.
I live in the UK and the device is set to UK. Please can someone help, it's driving me mad!

Not a solution but you can also purchase apps on the google play web and push them to your tab.
I can't, when I go through the website, my tablet is greyed out and won't let me purchase apps on to it.
I can't even see paid apps on the website! What the hell is going on??

Create another google play account to purchase apps for your prime with?!
What about the apps I've purchased with my current Google account, can I still use them?

Things currently installed shouldnt stop working I would think.
At any rate, it was really a suggestion to narrow the problem down to the account, not your device. Then take that info to google and tell them to freaking fix it.
I'm sure you want to get your gmail etc... so you would have to switch accounts everytime you bought something. Not practical.
You could though say "Hey google, I made this new account named X, logged in with my prime and was able to add apps.
Ah, yes, that's a good idea. I will try that over the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, I tried making another account but it's still not showing any paid apps. I'll send an email to Google, see if they can come up with a solution.
If anyone can think of anything else, please let me know.

I'm from India and we do not have full playstore. As soon as I login even when using USA VPN, play store shows me only apps and not the full version. Although as soon as i logout i can again view full play store.
Till 2 days ago I was able to access full site after login.
What can be the reason?? Plz help
On same PC when I use my brother's id I can see full play store. Something wrong with my account..??? It seems like Google has blocked my account for these services. M not able to make any purchases other than from App section.

Hi, I'm not really sure what to do about this screen. I started getting a notification that seems to come from the official app (I long tapped, and checked the notification info), but this "update" apparently needs to be side loaded onto the system instead of installed through the Play Store. Has anyone else gotten this update prompt? I'm not sure what to do here.

Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store)
Facebook appears to be doing an end run around the Google by pushing an update to the social network’s open app to Android users today… and the update isn’t coming from the Google Play Store. The Facebook app on your phone downloads the update automatically and then beeps or vibrates incessantly until you install it (or uninstall the app altogether).
So what does the new version of Facebook for Android do?
According to Facebook it lets you change your profile picture using the mobile app, allows you to hide stories and report spam, and start group messages more quickly.
But there’s one other thing the new app does: It allows itself to download future updates without alerting you.
If you look at the permissions required by the app, there’s a new one that says “download files without notification.”
This effectively lets the Facebook app for Android automatically update itself without going through the Google Play Store. It’s not clear exactly why Facebook is taking this step. But once you’re prompted to download the new version of the mobile app the only alternatives appear to be to put up with annoying notifications or remove the Facebook app from your Android device.

Is there any reason my gmail app update doesn't show in the play store.. It says it's up to date..I uninstalled updates, and went back and updated from the play store, but it still updates to version 4.3, not 4.5... Although the date of the app in the store shows June 3 or 4
Any ideas??

Don't panic! The roll out is progressive and you will receive it in the next days. I only got it last night on the One X+. On the Flyer not yet.
androidpolice.com is very good about posting apk files for new versions of Google apps, check there next time and sideload it on your own.
