I can't get Shazam to work. While it installs fine, when I open the app, and click "Setup", it gives an error message "Sorry, Shazam is not able to perform the setup at this time. Please try again later".
I've tried this with the free Shazam on the Android Market, as well as the free and Encore versions on the Amazon Appstore (got the paid version when it was the free app of the day). Same error every time. I have the WiFi-only US version of the Flyer.
I see on the Market reviews, a user of the Asus tablet has the same issue, so I wonder if tablets (or some tablets) are not supported?
Anyone else having this issue, or is Shazam working for you? Or is there a workaround?
Try SoundHound, they have a free and paid version.

Yeah, I'm aware of Soundhound, but thanks for the suggestion. Soundhound is actually part of the bloat on my version of the Flyer. It works well enough, and I know some folks even like it better than Shazam. But I'd like to have Shazam on the Flyer, if for no other reason than its the app I use on my phone, its what I've always used, and I'd like to keep it the same. I don't think its asking too much to expect a fairly simple Android app like this, which I have on my phone, to also work on my Android tablet. Plus, I already have the paid version of Shazam.
That said, I will be using Soundhound for music ID purposes on my Flyer until I can get Shazam working.

I'd imagine its bcus of the way shazaam is trying to link to its servers ... Might only be set up to work over the cell networks..which I agree is lame.... Give it some time and try writing the dev of shazaam so they are aware of the issue. I'm sure it will get ironed out...

Just wrote the developer a message. Their Help/Contact Us page was down last week, when I last tried. But its back up again.
Killerskincanoe is correct, Shazam is only designed to work with Android SIM devices. The response I received from the developer:
I'm afraid that, for the time being at least, the Shazam app is not compatible with Wi-Fi only/non-SIM Android devices. This issue will be addressed and resolved very soon.
Although I don't see any reason why this would be the case. All that's needed to ID the music is a data connection.

All of my purchased apps from the Amazon app store are showing as purchased on the Android app store. If I delete an app from Amazon and want to purchase from Android I can not. It still shows as purchased. When I click to download it says that I have not purchased this app. How can I fix this?
Clear you Market data under Manage Apps, it might help.
That doesn't work, I have already tried that.
I have been looking for the same solution with no success.
Have you tried reinstalling from the Appstore and using Titanium Backup to detach from the Market?
You should then be able to purchase it.
I think these issues have something to do with the Google backup thing. It backs up your apps list and even if you uninstall it it still shows sometimes. I don't use the backup feature for this reason, it's buggy & I prefer to restore them myself anyway.

I installed an old version of the Market (2.2.11) I had and now my Amazon apps don't show up as purchased. I was able to buy one that I had previously got from Amazon.
This is a known issue and is being worked on by Google. Has to do with the devs using the same signing key for both markets.
What's wrong with buying them from Amazon again (untill it is fixed)?

It is not an issue with the android market, it is a "cross market" issue.
Bumping for help. Google'd this issue and found this thread.
I'm having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. I got mSecure from the Amazon app store as a FAOTD a long time ago and want to purchase it in the Android market now since it's for sale for 50 cents and the app is like 8 versions newer (seems Amazon apps don't get updated near as often or fast as the native market). But it's showing purchased on every device I try it on. I've uninstalled both mSecure and the Market app (through Titanium) from my phone and re-installed, which seems to have prompted my phone to update to the new "Google Play Store" that just launched today, but had not affect on mSecure's status. I've also tried to purchase it from my browser on the phone and my PC. Shows purchased every time.
Very annoying and I don't want to miss this sale! Any workarounds found yet?
Thanks!
Edit: I may have found a fix. I just contacted Google Support and got a hold of a very knowledgeable and helpful rep who had to forward my case to an account specialist to square me away. I got an e-mail chain from him to the specialist so I can reply back any issues I have as they work on it. He said he's seen this before and they have to update an "order code" or something to that affect so I can order it. I'll update if/when they fix it.
I found this on another thread. Please thank to OP, he really helped me out.

Thanks for the link, worked for me
Note: Root access is required in order for this to work.
Since I've found a workaround to install apps not showing up in the marketplace and haven't seen anyone address the issue other than rewriting system files, I thought I'd post this for people who (like me) don't know how to use the first method.
1) search for the app you want on Google in your browser, ie "xxx android"
2) click on the result leading to the Marketplace website (IMPORTANT: be sure to open the link with your browser and not the Market!)
3) click the "Install" button
4) you will be prompted to login, enter your info (you should only have to do this once)
5) this time, choose to open with Market when prompted
6) click the "Install" button and your app will download!
Hope this helps anyone

When I try this method, the search finds the program I'm looking for but as soon as I log in and open with "Market", not the browser, it replies with "Program not found". So I guess it doesn't work for me.
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

What app did you try? I can try the same one and see if it works for me. If it does, I'll try to see what went wrong.

It was iBird Pro. It cost money, but just try to get to the point to where it try's to confirm whether or not you really want to pay for it.

Its not working for me either which leads me to believe its the app. Go ahead and try another free app just to see if the method even works.

Oh, well then... I feel stupid? Edit: I didn't see it when I tried searching for it in the Market app.
Just tried it with Google Maps and no dice.
Ok, I tried AVG Mobilation Anti-Virus Pro, and it came back with something like "Sorry but you can't download because you haven't paid for it" and then I got the good old "! Your device isn't compatible with this item".

post #5 for a list of apps you can download through your browser - just click on the "remove this frame" to activate the download.
(thanks to spoland)
there is a newer version I found somewhere but I can't find it now (v6.0.3)

I don't understand how this can work - if apps aren't showing up in the Market on your tablet, surely that's because Market thinks they're not compatible with your NT. And if that's the case, when you sign into your account in the browser, the same thing would happen of not letting you send the app to devices it doesn't think are compatible?
In browser, the Market doesn't even list my NT as one of my devices, even though I'm signed into the Market app on my NT. Any thoughts on this?
I've had this method work twice and fail a couple times. At step 5 when it opens up the market the app still shows as incompatible but it downloads it anyway.
Torrential91, can you give me an example of an app that this worked correctly for you?
rodorr
I just had it work for Real Racing 2 free version.
I tried it with facebook, but there was no download option, just a note saying it was not compatible with my device.
This method was successful in getting to the app page where i could not before.
I tried "Real Racing 2" and it did indeed work for me. It gave me the message "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it went ahead and downloaded it anyway. So it does work with some items. Maybe it just doesn't work if there is a cost associated with the item.
rodorr
I know Google maps worked for me. I believe Tumblr also worked this way.
Seems like this method is hit or miss. Can't really say why =/ I'm not a dev in any way, just a guy that experiments with trial and error haha.
Maybe a dev can chime in on this?

The above posts both provide a workaround/partial solution. Here is my suggestion...
If you choose to try Old Market, when you launch it you can choose "old" or "new" market. It requires root permissions to work. After selecting which Market you would like, it will reboot the device and, once it is booted, the market you chose will be installed. Take note that I did in fact still see some free apps that weren't installed, but not all of them. Perhaps they were only the apps that were downloaded to this specific device/ROM.
That said, the "old" Market is indeed the very old V2 Market. I went back to "new" Market (V3), and it upgraded itself back to Google Play after a little while.
Unless you truly like the old interface of the Market, I'd recommend you go with CosmicDan's suggestion of logging in to Google Wallet and viewing your transaction history. This will give you a list of only the apps you have purchased. Unfortunately you can not install them to your device from there, but at least you can see only the apps you have purchased without seeing every app you have ever downloaded.
--- Original Post ---
Is there a way to view only one's purchased apps in the new Play Store? The new interface for the My Apps section does not seem to have a way to do this like it used to, instead showing seemingly every app one has ever downloaded, with purchased apps mixed in (in no logical order).

Big time bump on this! They really do need to add a tab that shows purchased not just installed and history.
Just ran across this. Hope there is a fix in the works. Not being able to sort the apps is a major FAIL.
I let my son have my old droid and he went crazy downloading what looks like every free app offered....my mistake for not creating a junk gmail account. Now I have literally hundreds and hundreds of apps listed in my app section of the play store.
Bump, I would like to know also
It appears that even the app management section of the Google Play website doesn't have this capability. On the positive side, the site looks great! -_-
This is just wrong, when you've bought allot of apps and downloaded plenty of free apps.
There's got to be an easier way to see what you've bought and redownload!
Someone got a clue?

This is such a fkn annoying issue. BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other thing is there should be a tab to multi select app installs so you aren't directed to the install screen and forced to start from the beginning of the main screen after you go back. If that is not an option at least add the ability to install "ALL" paid apps.
Why in the hell would we not get the option to see purchased apps only but we get the option to see "ALL" downloaded apps paid or unpaid. That's just fkn ridiculous
P.S. To anyone that is going to tell me to roll back or move previous apk versions to system/app or even use an app to do it for you and blah blah blah. I have tried everything.
The closest I got was using the apk I will attach for everyone here. Be sure to unzip it and move the file to your phone and use a file explorer to install it.
Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER.

Not likely any time soon in my opinion. I'm quite positive that they knowingly made the decision to change (read remove) the list of only paid apps in the Play Store, in an effort to "improve" the app. Unfortunately.
.— Powered by Nexus —.
Another Google Fail just like the crappy resolution contact pictures that they refuse to fix. Thanks google for making have to make duplicate phone contacts and link everything. Also thank you for getting rid of showing only the paid apps.
Google has always been a piece of.. garbage, but as of late, they have just been, a piece of... junk..
Well, I do not think Google forgot to have that view. From their point of view it absolutely makes sense:
If you forget about an app you bought some day, you might end up buying another one, providing the same functionality later. And that is where they get money from, not you re-installing an already bought app.
It does not go too well with the "don't be evil" motto, but this was clearly a deliberate choice by Google.

The r2 works fine for me. I've put it to /system/app … I had to delete the app data to make it run again after a reboot, though.
Well here's something bizarre.
On my Wildfire, and on Google Play it says that Flipboard isn't compatable with the device, yet when I logged onto the Amazon App Store (which as far as I know, only shows apps compatable with the device) it had Flipboard listed!
Obviously downloaded it, and it works perfectly fine on my Wildfire, which makes me wonder why it's supposedly not compatable when it in facts runs fine.
I've tried Instagram before, and I could see why that didn't work, therefore not compatable, but Flipboard works fine. So if you can go on the Amazon App store + get the APK, then do it, it's a pretty good app
Has anyone else found apps for the Wildfire that the Play Store says is not compatable with the device, but does in fact work/run fine?

there could be several reasons for the incompability message showing up: it could be region related, if you have a branded phone or a simlock it could be carrier related and last but not least Amazon doesn't have anything to do with Google. So if Google sets different standards for compability (i.e. resolution, performance etc.) Amazon might differ.
I've also tried Instagram - one of the very few popular services that exclude so called legacy devices almost completely
However free/ad supported apps could be tried out if working or not - so I sometimes hate it to be ruled out by Google (or the dev). Paid apps of course shouldn't let you try out because you could sue the dev for selling stuff that won't work on your device.
And yes I know at least one app which works fine on my Willy although the play store says "incompatible": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flightradar24free
But: it only works if you drop realtime movement of the planes (and for good performance you should make the visible region not too big, satellite view works but with maps is smoother of course...) - so I'd guess if the dev would make this compatible for GPU-less devices he would earn thousands of complaints that the app doesn't work at all
And no, I won't post any links how to get the apk (forbidden by forum rules anyway, giyf in case)
I think the market is somewhat bugged a little too, week before last i couldn't download a few apps which i have previously used on my s2. I hadn't changed any dpi settings or anything like that so i just put it down to the fact i'm running miui. Updated my miui Rom on the Friday with no wipes and all of a sudden my apps work again.

I now have to wait to get the phone but just a heads up that Constatine at PDA Plaza has been a fantastic help and really great to work with.
There is a setting under the apps menu to allow the app to run as a foreground service. If you select this then app notifications come through instantly everytime just like any other phone. You so have to allow the app to send notifications as it is set to off for each app by default.

Yes it is and it works - but it is limited to only 5 apps. I would need a lot more apps to work in the foreground. Any solution?
