I have 2 HP TP running CM7 Alpha3 that I have for my kids for Christmas.
Attempted to add both to my Google Market so for any 'purchases' only be made once for both devices (I have 2 other Samsung Infuse 4g & an Acer Iconia a500 already in market).
Problem is that although I can download apps in the market app, ONLY one HP Touchpad shows up in the market.android.com site.
The last device setup for market is the one that shows up as active on market.android.co.
I have attempted to clear market cache but nothing. If I wipe data and redo, that will be the device that shows on the market....
It seems as though market.android.com seems to think both devices are only one device and will not recognize two different Touchpads being associated in the Market!
Any thoughts...?
If you want them to show up as different devices then I think your best chance is to edit the build.prop and change the fingerprint and device id info for one of the Touchpads to mimic a "similar" tablet or phone.
Thanks the info! I've changed the build.prop to a GT-I9000 but no luck yet. Any thoughts on what I could change device or fingerprint to?
Thanks again for the info!

I am unable to purchase/download applications from the Market both on the gTab and through the website. The Market says "You don't have any devices." and the tablet returns the error "Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options. Since I gotten this error I have gone through the follow steps to remedy the situation:
1. Cleared the Market data in the applications section
2. Changed my Google account password
3. Wiped and reinstalled GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.2.
4. Contacted Google support (they directed me to Viewsonic)
5. Posted this looking for help.
Note that all the apps that I have installed prior to this issue are automatically downloading/reinstalling just fine. I just can't add new apps. Any help would appreciated.

Ran into the same problem setting up GtabComb on my old tablet for my wife (I just got a Xoom). All went fine, all her apps registered under her gmail account came down and installed just fine. I couldn't add any other apps (free) and got the same error you were getting. Google searches gave some suggestions but nothing worked. I wiped and installed CM7.1 (latest nightly) and have no trouble with it.
No answer to your problem....I just gave up after a bit. She is running CM7.03 on her slightly defective Gtablet (can't power off or reboot issue)....so she'll be fine with CM7.1.

Go here http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=cont and fill out the Talk to a Specilaist section. Google wil call you in seconds & you will be put into the phone queue. I've had this same problem twice (Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options) & each time my wait time was less than 5 minutes. Each time they have had to forward the ticket to the account management team for resolution & it has gotten fixed each time within 48hrs.

@aabbondanza I did talk to someone through android support and was told that they do not support/recognize the Viewsonic gTab. How did you get around telling them that you have a gTab?

It's definitely an account issue. If you press the issue and tell them you have been downloading things in the past & that updates still install fine, they should help you. They tried to pull that line on me this time too (& they just fixed my account yesterday). You may have to fib & tell them you have a different tablet (my rep said my tablet showed as an epad). My rep also admiited in the end that he had a gtab himself.
I'll try and see if I can "work around" things tomorrow. In the meantime the Amazon market is working just fine and has what I need.

I was shown this thread by someone on another forum and it worked great for me just download the new market and you will be able to download apps again, it will not show your device on the online android market but it will work on your tablet.
You will have two markets in manage applications, but i just installed it and it replaced the old one and now uses the new market for the app shortcut.
Also i am running flashback 8.1 Rom. can't confirm this works on all although i assume it should but back everything up just in case before proceeding.

I can confirm it works on GTabComb v3.3 b/l 1.2. This was the second time this week that I got the error (and 3rd time in a month)...first 2 times Google Android support fixed it, this time installing Market v3.1.5 fixed it.

I can confirm that this fix only partially world with Flashback 8.1. Now some apps install, and all apps download, but many apps cannot locate the SD card or USB storage. Any ideas gents?
Edited to add: I just made the jump from 8.1 to 9.0. Only a data/factory reset was required and then Titanium all my apps back in. I have not had any issues downloading applications post upgrade and strongly suggest this "fix" to anyone running Honeycomb that has had market issues.

Worked perfectly, for Flashback 8.1 thanks. All apps I wanted now download and install.
I also removed the old market using Titanium Backup.
First of all, my Photon is rooted and I used a couple of the updates from the photon android development forums.
It is getting to where there are just too many market apps that I can not download. Some come up as not compatable (while I'm 100% sure they are compatable) and others just straight up don't show. It gets real interesting when I go to the android market on the web and try to get the apps.
The android market thinks that I have 2 Moto photons. One of the 2 photons, it will in fact allow me to send some of these incompatable apps to and the one that google SEES me on is "not compatable". I guess the market thinks my phone became a new phone when I did one of the updates. But yet this new photon is not compatable with many apps.
I was using my Acer Iconia tab to help me get some of these apps to my Photon, especially some of the ones I purchased. But now, I have 2 Iconia tabs too (even though the second one is again, the same device.)
Is there anything I can do? I loved Android since the day it came out. But it's getting to where I almost don't want it. I need an outlet to get apps but I don't want to ask people to upload apks. I know about the amazon market but not every app is there.
Is this a brand based problem? Cause though I love the Photon, I would switch in a minute if this wasn't the case. But it's also happening on my Iconia tab and it's happening more and more and one thing I just won't do is start asking if anyone has apks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, this will take me a minute (if you want a real explantion, or just skip to bottom where I talk about App Brain). I am sorta like you, I'm well over 100 Apps and use SPB 3D Shell to keep them orgainzed.
As for usage:
My Music
My Radio
Pandora
YouTube
Work Adobe
Work Excel
Work PPP
Adobe (Work, IBM, Personal)
10 years of tax returns

High School Documents

I use my phones and like to keep them tight. I had and Evo and co-worker turned me on to App Brain.When I got Photon, I was in your position. I went to Market and more or less, installed everything I got individually.
You Sync App Brain, and when you get new phone, like I just did, tell it to put it all back (You still have to go to SPB 3D Shell and orgainze it, but it give you a start!)
Want more protection? Root it and get Titaniaum Backup, paid version!!! Backup all your crap each monday at 3:00AM (you know my schedule now), hook the phone up to computer as HD and move backup to your computer or USB drive (its not small!). If something ever happens to your phone, get titaniaum from market and use THAT backup to restore. The good thing about the paid version, not only will it put your app's back, it puts them back with the last configuration!!! Done!!!
Thank you for responding. But I do not believe that this helps. I already use Titanium Backup of course. But App Brain is just a market browser that still ultimately takes you to the market to download apps does it not? And the market will still list them as incompatable.
This is not going to let me download new versions of, for example, Swiftkey X, LCD Density, and even the ChaCha app. I would have to go find a friend who has a phone that's listed as compatible (even though the Photon IS compatible) and then back it up and transfer it. This makes for licensing problems for apps that I have purchased and I'm certain are compatable.
Because I can get many apps but there are many that I can not get, there is something that many developers do that apparently makes it compable with SOME Motorola Photons as far as the market goes. This is why I could easily download Titanium Backup but I can not download SwiftKey X which I paid for even though it IS compatable.
Can anybody help? I need a way to get apps that are compatible to the photon like swiftkey x onto my photon and the ability to keep them UPDATED. What I do not want is a way to keep them backed up, I already have that. I will switch phone brands if I need to but I absolutely require a phone or a fix for this phone on which this problem does not exist. Otherwise, it's useless to me as apps are updated often sometimes and I want those updates without running onto the net and asking people to please post an apk. Please reply if you have a solution. I am going to scream if I see that banner that says this app is not compatable with your phone again when market.android.com will send it to my older photon (which does not exist by the way. The market just recognizes my photon as a second photon after an update I did from the developer forums). Grrr, don't even want my photon now that the droid razor is out.
have you tried going into manage applications and clearing the data and cache from market. I had some problems with apps that were bought on both amazon and google and this allowed the apps to update from google.
Yes. I have cleared data from the market under manage applications. This does not do it. There are still apps that the android market refuses to let me install. Any such apps do not have an install or download button. Instead, there is just that banner on the very top that says "Your device is not compatible with this item." for many apps ever since I installed one of the updates and since then, I have 2 Photons listed when I look online. One of them, the android market will send these "incompatible apps" to and the other, it won't. Unfortunately, the device that android market will send the apps to is the same device as the one that the market sees as incompatible. It's like after one of the updates, the market reregistered my phone as a different phone. Same thing happened with my Iconia tab.
Does anybody have any ideas?

You try going online and deleting the phones from your google account then log back into the app market and download a simple app so it can register
I've tried. As far as I know, you can't delete devices from your account on the market. You can only hide them from showing up on the menus. But yes, I've done that. It doesn't help.
never mind, i see now'
So is there anything that can be done?
First of all what ROM are you on, what mods(build.prop), and have you wiped google services data?

Oh thank you thank you thank you! (and thank clicked as well!) It was awesome of you to find that. Just to reiterate in case somebody else finds themselves having the same problem, to reiterate so it might come up in a google search for someone:
If you have a Motorola Photon (or many other phones), and over time, you notice that something isn't right with the market and some apps that you always ran are suddenly not compatible any more and perhaps the Android market sees you having several phones, if you changed your screen density with a program such as LCD Density Changer, the android market now will see you coming in with a different phone. For example, according to the Android market, I have a Moto Photon with a density of 240 and a Moto Photon with a density of 280. Perhaps because of the criteria that some app makers chose, some of their apps (like Messagease for instance) may be compatible with a Photon with a density of 240 but not a Photon with the density of 280 (even though they do in fact work just fine).
So, the solution is this. Change your density if you like. But, to get those programs that may become "incompatible", switch the density back to the way that it was out of the box.
Thank you very much for finding this information! It helped a lot!
Glad to help
I just got a Nook tablet and will probably root it, depending on the answer I get here.
I have a login to the Android market but I have no Android device registered because the Nook is my first. However, I don't see the Nook as a device in the list of devices.
Once I've rooted the device and logged onto Android market using it, will the rooted Nook be recognized as a valid device? It hasn't been thus far.
Otherwise how do you get an Android device to be associated with your Android market account?
Thanks

Yes, it will show as BNTV250.
i have gotten many things to run, obviously nothing that is made for the tegra chip will work on this without a hack because the NT uses an TI chip, but Most, maybe 85% of what I have tried works.
Is there a work-around for apps that the Market doesn't think are compatible? Looking for a few common apps like Flixster and Facebook and the Market says This item not compatible with your device. But I can pull down the apk from another site and it works fine.

That is the workaround. We may eventually be able to get around this by modifying build.prop, but not yet.
Gotcha, thanks. Some apks are just a little harder to find than others...still looking for the newest Directv DVR scheduler app. My version won't work anymore.
Hi,
I've just got hold of a Transformer Prime and am loving it, but I have one issue so far. I'm unable to see any Paid Apps in the market, just the free ones. I have an Android phone and am using the same google account on both. The phone works fine and I've made a few purchases from it historically without any problem. Indeed when I setup the Prime it installed some of my previously purchased apps onto itself. I've seen some discussion on using Market Enabler, but also seen that doesn't work properly on ICS. I'm just confused as to why it would be OK from the phone and not the Prime. I've performed factory resets, not provided my google account details on setup and directly into the market, but nothing works.
I'm based in the Channel Islands which may be part of the issue with regards to locallity and Market availability. But on all my previous Android phones it's been OK.
Any advice welcomed.
FIXED
I rooted using vipermod, installed marketaccess using a UK provider code, cleared android market data and its fine now.
Hi,
I have a very frustrating problem. I have an NVIDIA Shield tablet that has been recalled due to a battery problem. I have the replacement tablet here and when I go through trying to set it up I do not see the backup of the old tablet as an available source to restore onto the new tablet.
I have verified that Android Device Manager is enabled AND that my old tablet shows up in my Google account. I can also locate the device from my Google account.
Even with all of that working, I still do not see my old tablet listed as a source to restore onto my new tablet. (I do see several other Android devices that I own in the list.)
I have attempted clearing the cache from Google Play Services but that did not work either. I also thought that maybe I was missing an update to Google Play Services but I can't seem to find it in the store.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
TIA!
CRAP!
Just saw I put this under development! Sorry!
Hope a mod can move it to the proper place! Thanks!
