This morning got a update about Psx store and the update for unlimited music ...
check ur device
greetz
//edit
at the moment the service is not accessable in germany
little tip psxstore needs account manager app made by sony get it via market
If you can't find the update, it'll show a PS Controller by the clock, similar to when a game is running.
Crap, when it takes me to the install of the account manager, pressing download giveds me an error:
"the item youwere trying to buy could not be found"
And looking better, I found out that the account manager is not available in my country (Portugal)
what a hell Sony? I buy ur tab, no video unlimited, no music unlimited and now, no psx store?

Bugger, I installed the ps store and went to sign up (uk) and it states that the service is not available in my region so I select usa and it worked. So I decide to uninstall ps store and reinstall but how do I get the apk file for PS store to come back in the notifications bar?
Heres the APK file
megaupload.xom/?d=J0VC9YBG
the file name is tagged with SCEE so this is the real european version!

now store works in GER

Its live in the uk now as well
Im a bit dissapointed really because.
Take Destruction Derby, i bought this game for the PS3 which also allowed it to be played on the psp.
Then i got an xperia play and had to buy it again.
Now the Tablet S has the PSN store it still wants me to buy it yet again!!
Fook That!!
when i try to use music unlimited i get the message that the network is not available. I get the same message on my xperia arc. Is this thing only works on 3g and not wifi???
I got the music unlimited update but haven't gotten any notifications for the playstation store yet and I'm in the U.S. - has everyone else gotten the notification?

Thanks XotusBlack for the apk.
What!!! Noway!!! I was hoping that my PSN PsOne games purchased would be transferable to the Tablet S!
It's not on that I can't do this with my PS3 and PSP but not with my Tablet S!!!!
I recieved the update for the music unlimited last night, but havent seen anything about PS Store. Is it available on market for download?

I contacted Sony about it and what you have to do is open/sign into your video unlimited app and then the notification popped up for me!
keep an eye on that sony account app as I found my battery life was a lot shorter after installing it. Turns out after looking at battery use it was keeping the device awake the whole time and so was never going to sleep. Reluctant to reinstall it again it case it happens again but I want these PS one games. Maybe it was just me but it maybe worth keeping an eye on
From time to time I either restart my device or go into settings > applications > running > and stop apps that are running that don't need to be. There are task killer apps but they use just as much resources as all the other apps running anyway so I just try to manage it myself.

mh ...cool im not the only one ...
but i didnt recognized that the sony app could it be ... ... when battery is drained, i will kick it and kepp the battery in focus ...
So can everyone else use it but me? IT keeps telling me the network is not available Anyone else having this problem?
I got the update notice after accessing music unlimited too, and it isn't available in the uk just yet I got very happy then very sad, but at least Sony are starting to get things moving
I don't have a tablet s, so here's a stupid question: Do you buy the games from Android marketplace, or is the purchasing in the playstation store app? If so, does that mean you use your playstation network account?
Also, if anyone purchased one of these games, PM me. I wish to see what changed in this emulator from the last and if there are any significant compatibility updates.
Wish they offered trial/demo versions of games.

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.

so I should be able to choose which market I want to use on the fly when I install this apk?
This has got to be one of google's biggest recent FAILS.
It's been like this for over a month now, and what seems like a very simple and basic fix hasn't even arrived yet. Do you all think they are even aware of this being an issue for us?

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.
The "upgrade" of Market to Play Store was not smooth on my two Sony devices:
Tablet S and Xperia phones.
The connection was lost occasionally in the beginning dates, and finally, it was restored on my Xperia phones.
However, connection to "Market/Play Store" server went dead on my Tablet S totally since yesterday. So I
(i) uninstalled updates of "Market/Play Store" to return it to "Market" -> no use; then
(ii) suspecting something wrong with my machine, so I decided to perform a "Factory Reset". (That took me the whole afternoon to restore apps from backup... panic...). Yet, it is still dead, only leaving the message "Server error, Retry" at the centre.
(iii) I even install Play Store 3.4.7 and 3.5.15 app downloaded here somewhere to see if that makes any difference. The answer is still a big NO.
Any suggestion? Wifi connection to all other websites are fine without problem. All other app accounts are now reconnected. This "factory reset" gives me another problem that some of my purchased apps are now denying me from use, as my "Market/Play Store" account is not activated on this Tablet S.
Is this a general Tablet S issue or I need to find Sony to fix the hardware? Please kindly advise. Many thanks!
I don't have such problem, suggest to send it back to Sony to check and fix.

I can't believe that the problem cased regarding a hardware problem.
I guess it could be a problem with your Google account.
You could double check it with a other or new Google account.

If it works well with a new/other account, I would contact the Google support to check and/or repair your main account.

I agree with you that I don't think this could be a HW problem. That's why I posted my question here to see if this is a common issue. I contacted Sony Support Live Chat and apparently this is not a common case, at least in US. My Tablet S was purchased in HK, so the chat could not end up with any solution, but suggesting me to seek for an upper level of support in HK. In fact, I am about to take it to the Sony Service this morning.
The good news is after three days of struggling and Factory Data Resetting (a total of three times! very painful to restore things each time...), strange thing happened just now that the "Market" connection returned, for no reason. After downloaded/installed a couple of app updates, "Market" then was upgraded to "Play Store". Things seems working fine now... Hope the regional Google finally have this resolved...
Many thanks again for your patience and suggestion!
Android Central had a post that stated Google issued a fix for the Google Play Movie app.
It doesn't mention any specific issues, but if one app was having issues, at least they caught it and fixed it quickly. Probably had something to do with the quick fix of the overall Market (fine Play store).

Yes, that might be a related issue. The curious thing, however, is it seems I am the only one to experience this... very interesting...
BTW, I need to further that I still have problem in buying apps using my Tablet S (Hong Kong version). I would receive this message most of the time:
"The item that you were attempting to purchase could not be found." Don't know if anyone here had similar experience?
And the nasty thing is I need to "factory data reset" to clear that. The more annoying thing is this message will return again soon for no apparent reason... Possibly, from your reference, be a problem between Sony and Google...
Why dont you send it back to Sony HK to have a complete check? they are conveniently located in HK and Kowloon side.

I am thankful to your suggestion. I went to Google support and confirmed that this is a general issue, not something peculiar to me alone. I need to travel in Greater China (i.e., Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan) a lot because of my job nature. Among the areas only Play Store access from Hong Kong allows in-tablet Play Store purchase. I was in Macau this week, and it seems quite a few people in China and Macau have had the same issue of not connecting to Play Store.
I raised a question there concerning in-tablet Play Store purchase, and hope someone will write me an answer soon.
We HK users shouldn't complain anymore with regard to the availability of Playstation here since we are the lucky bunch who don't have the Play Store and wifi issues.
I guess now we are 2
I guess you are not alone any more, i got mine like 10 days ago, worked fine right out of the box, couple of upgrades, format...you know
then all of a sudden it diced not to connect any more, done most of what you guys done so fare none is working

Don't worry. I think Google is already aware of the issue and will, hopefully, have this fixed in your region, like mine, soon. However, there is still an issue left open to fix: purchase app through the in-tablet Play Store for people who need to carry the machine and access Play Store of different regions.
Taking back for service usually won't do much help, however, unless the service guys are smart enough to find out what is really the issue. My experience was that they were usually unhelpful. Within guarantee period, they would replace either the PCB or replace with a refurbished machine but will still leave the problem for you to hunt for an answer.
In our case, I think, it is not a hardware problem, but the stability of Android as a whole.
i can't agree more
there is few BB referring to flushing the registered Gmail account from the device witch according to the expert it never get off by just a factory reset.
it dose make seance, taken into consideration that factory reset is not firmware instillation or ROM for the device.
didn't got the micro cable yet other wise i'm welling even to go that far, interesting note, though i can pin point one or two website that i'm facing trouble browsing from my normal PC and i'm not 100% sure if these things related in some point from ISP part, you know some port been blocked or some crazy firewall policy, the issue for me that i really can't tested as such as i don't have enough knowledge about how this google play works.
hope things will get a bit better at least from your side
---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------
OK, for some unknown reason it worked, didn't do much and to make it worse my port blocking idea didn't work out either, still can't access those website yet the market worked out.
i really hope that things will not be this way again, and all the best for you guys

Well yeah guys Google messed up something on their servers... I used market unlocker till now and i woke up today to search for some app on Google Play and I realised that I can't see paid apps or any apps that are unavailable in my country anymore...
Tried clear cache and data of market unlocker, tried Play store clear cache and data... Nothing...
So anybody experience this... ?
The thing is that was my most valuable app for seeing all apps, because i can't see all apps and can't download all apps from my country...
FOUND SOLUTION!!!
Download TunnelBear from PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tunnelbear.android
Login, choose whatever you want UK or US server turn on and when you got in statusbar connected, go to settings>applications>playstore>clear data and force stop
Now exit by pressing back button and launch PlayStore, hit accept and you'll se ALL magazines, music, paid apps etc.
The same here. Stopped working - I think last night.

You need to clear Play Store cache. but tere is an easier way, connect to US VPN, then go to play store>settings>content filtering select so that some checkmarks switch off, press ok go to settings again and select show all apps. All US content will show up in play store.
US VPN with very speedy connection is hideipvpn.com. I'm using that.
Thank you so much OP for the TunnelBear option. I've been trying like hell to make magazines and stuff work haha!
But one question, is tunnelbear free? Gonna work forever?
Hi, I just received my Truesmart + today, and I tried to install the google playstore and while I was able to get the APK into the watch, after it installs the playstore it fails to open.
So basically whenever I press the playstore button it'd open for half a second and the whole program just vanishes like if it got reverted back to the homescreen..... Ive also downloaded several different version of playstore and havent had any luck either...
I was wondering if you guys know if its possible to even install the google play store and get it to run on this model??
The specs of my watch are:
Android Version: 5.1
Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MPV5, 2015/08/24 16:00
Kernel Version: 3.10.72
Build Number: Omate_Truesmart+_V1.1
Custom Build Version: OUI 3.0
Please help me out, I dont want to end up with a brick =(
I am curious about this too (was supposed to get mine today but the mailman messed up) Did they not include the OStore or some sort of other app program? Are any apps preloaded?
You'll also notice that you can't add a Google account within Settings-> Accounts.
The only way around that so I'm actually able to add a Google account is by sideloading "Google Services Framework" & "Google Account Manager" (in addition to "Play Services").
However, even with these installed, Play Store still doesn't work - it launches but won't connect.
Hopefully a solution is found.
Until then, I'm fine with using my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE.
Pre-installed Apps are pretty sparse:
> Phone
> SMS
> Exchange
> File Manager
> Browser
> Calendar
> Clock
> Gallery
> Downloads
> Contacts
> Search
---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------
*UPDATE*
I've reached out to Laurent LePen (CEO of Omate) & told him the usual method of making the Play Store work (by sideloading the 3 Apps I mentioned) doesn't work on the Omate TrueSmart+. He said they're rolling out an update next week to fix that.
So hopefully, next week it'll work.
*fingers crossed*
Wow, releasing a watch without its own OStore supported seems like a big mistake. Their Facebook discussion also seems to suggest that they'll be pushing an update by the end of the year, so hopefully that holds true.
I was able to install Google search and google now launcher, but google play store won't work without "google play services" and I haven't found a version of that .apk that will not keep crashing on the Truesmart+
Since google play services keeps crashing, the play store stays on a "Checking Info" screen that keeps spinning and spinning...
Same issue here, obviously...
com.google.android.gms_8.4.89_(2428711-234)-8489234_minAPI21(armeabi-v7a)(240dpi).apk should be the correct version of Play Services, but it still crashes on me...
Does anyone have any newer versions of the Services Framework and Account Manager APK's?
Anyone, any updates?
Edit: There will be a firmware update this weekend which will pus the OStore... No Play STore, but at least it's something for now...
I just unboxed my truesmart+ today.
I think it is not useful without google service inside.
I can't sync my contact nor get my paid apps on it, it is really a bit disappointing.

I think it is not useful without google service inside.
I can't sync my contact nor get my paid apps on it, it is really a bit disappointing.

I thought they would put the OStore in the update, but this is even better!!!
Everything appears to be working great
Just curious, if Aptoide does the same thing as the Play Store, did we really need the Play Store? I'm away from my device so I can't test it, but it seems Aptoide has many of the same mainstream apps as the Play Store (Maps, YouTube, etc)
Could someone please answer my question re: Aptoide? Is this a viable alternative? (from a technical perspective, please no need to go into politics) Thanks.

Aptoide will work for free apps, if you install "My Paid Apps" from Aptoide you may also be able to install some of your paid apps as well. Aptoide's biggest drawbacks are much smaller number of apps, less security, sometimes apps do not get updated as often, not all paid apps will be accessible.
Another option is Amazon App Store.

Aptoide is a viable alternative to Google Play, but only if you are very careful and very skilled at being able to recognize and avoid trojanized versions of apps. The majority of people hosting apps there are well intentioned, I guess, but there are also a large number of maliciously modified apps to be found there, and cracked premium pay apps are included.
Using Aptoide over the Play Store, then, is not a good idea unless you are very skilled or have other means of avoiding Android malware mixed in with the many legitimate apps available there. If you get apps there that are really hosted there by their real original developers, for example, you can feel pretty secure.

Thank you both for your replies! Referencing your statement above, if I download only the apps marked with a green shield marked "trusted" should I be ok? (Do I trust the trust mark?) I'm only looking for Maps, YouTube, SWApp, Gmail, Amazon Music, Pandora.

You can download the .apk files from the play store by using this website: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/.
This procedure should be safe and maleware free.

I'm really pissed, that with the latest play store, I have absolutely no way of looking at previous apps I have used for yrs.. I have looked all over the place, and can not find any sign of apps I used and have payed for, that still work... I do have some back up, but the idea of them basically telling me what I can and can not install from previous yrs is pure bulls**t. The idea of getting a iphone soon is getting better and better with each passing day.
What Google play store version are you on?
Whatever the newest one is....29.5.14-21
Is it the new Material You design? What country are you from?
In UK law, they are required to give you access to any digital content you have purchased so I doubt they would get rid of the library when they require it for compliance.

In play store press your profile picture next to the search bar.
Press library
My purchased apps appear in there, from years back. If yours don’t, are you sure you haven’t accidentally used a different Google account to previous phones?
If you're logged in in a browser with your Google account, you can see what you have paid for by simply going to
Sign in - Google Accounts
play.google.com
and instantly see your purchases. Looking at my (long) list, I have no idea whether it also holds apps that are no longer available.
And here appears to be the list of all apps you ever installed:
Sign in - Google Accounts
play.google.com
(XDA makes weird titles for the links, but you can look at the URL and see whether you feel they are legit (they are))
"The idea of getting a iphone soon is getting better and better with each passing day."
In the move from 32 bit to 64 bit about half of my purchased iOS apps went unusable on newer devices, and games like Monkey Island have just vanished from the iOS app store without any notice, or any evidence that you ever purchased it, so also without any possiblity for a refund. So I don't think Apple does this better than Google....

The issue with my missing purchase was resolved.. I'm not sure what the issue was.. After a couple of hrs, and my phone finishing up updates after Samsung installing my new mainboard all seem to appear.. I'm not crazy, but even when logged into my pc, none of my apps would appear.. I have been using the same google account for yrs.. I only have one. I do know this.. Some of my apps that are back, were not available to me 6 months ago.. Maybe this has happened to others, and complaints were sent to google.. And with newer updates these issue were resolved..
