Hi everyone,
I recently installed the CyanogenMod-7.1.0-tenderloin-alpha3.5 mod on my HP Touchpad.
Overall i find it a bit buggy, but it is still pretty awesome.
I have one major problem that I cannot seem to find a way around. When i first installed the mod, i tried to download the amazon app store. the app wouldn't install and i received the message that the download "failed".
so i tried the next day and it downloaded no problem. i used the amazon app store for several days and then one day apps that i selected would not download. i tired clearing the app data, rebooting, and nothing worked, so i decided to delete the amazon app store app and try to download it again. however now i cant download it.
i searched this forum and saw the tip to delete the device from your list of devices on amazon. i did that and it still wont work.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
I would just say keep trying. I have been using the Amazon App Store on my Touchpad since alpha 1 with no hang up and I'm on 3.5 as well.
After doing the update to alpha3.5, be sure to reset the date and time in the settings, otherwise lots of apps will suddenly stop working.
The date and time are correct, but the app store still will not download
When I did mine I was having issues as well but there was an option to have them email it to me. Then I just downloaded it from my email and ran it on the touchpad...

Amazon App Store
I have been using the Amazon App store on my Gtablet since it first opened. Apps worked great. Recently all of my apps disappeared from the App store. I can no longer get updates. I contacted Amazon and was told on 3 seperate occasions that Amazon had a new filter in place to filter out Apps that the developer said did not work on your device. Well that is a lie. They filtered out all but about 8 apps that I bought. 40+ apps that worked perfectly like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. What I suspect is that Amazon Filtered every device the developer did not know about. What developer can certify every single android device. The answer is none.
Has everyone else found this to be an issue? Has anyone determined a way to fool amazon into thinking you have a different tablet that amazon things runs most apps? I am not running a custom rom and see no need to but if it it fixes Amazon App store I am open to the issue. I was kind of waiting for a stable Honeycomb (preferably from Viewsonic).
Amazon did give me a credit for the Apps I have purchaced and all the apps I have purchaced are still on my device and work so my only real complaint with Amazon is "How can anyone ever trust them again".
I ran into the same problem on my stock Gtab (build 3588). So far, I've been successful at sideloading several missing "purchased" Amazon apps to the Gtab via my G2 using Titanium Backup. Obviously this is not a preferred long-term solution.
My next step is to try a new build.prop file as noted in thread 861044.
For reference, here's my current Amazon appstore count of "My Apps/All" on three different devices:
T-mo G2: 62
G Tablet: 8
T-mo TP2: 61
The Touch Pro 2 is running Project Android with an uncharged Italian prepaid SIM card, and for some reason, the only app missing is Age of Zombies (which for the most part, works fine on Gtab via sideload).
Amazon only half prevented
I have since found that while you cannot go to my apps and update them you can find the app in the store and it will indicate it needs to be updated. When you select update nothing happens. when you close down and start the store back up it installs the app.
I have also found that you can still buy apps even though you can never update them.
I also have about 60+ apps purchaced and only 8 that show up on my gtablet. The issue I have is I do not have another Android device.
This happened to me as well. I contacted amazon, but they were of no help. So I took what I know, and others experience with different apps and found the solution.
Go to settings, applications. Find Amazon app market, and wipe data and cache. Open the market back up, log in (you'll need to re-enter username and password) and tada your apps have returned.
edit:
another solutions would be to uninstall, and re-install the app market.
Yesterday morning, after downloading the free app of the day, I checked "my apps" and it said that I had only 11 new apps. When I selected "all" I saw 14 apps. After wiping data and cache, I now have 74 "new apps" and 115 "all" apps.
I described the problem to Amazon 2 times, and I still don't think they understood what I was saying. I tried telling them that I had an app (Grisly Manor) installed on my tablet, that I had downloaded for free from them. In the Amazon app, it no longer appeared in any of my lists. On the web version, it shows up as being "purchased" I have a receipt and all...but it no longer shows on my Amazon App interface.
each time they instructed me on how to open an app, or how to open the "all" page in "my apps."
They are morons, I'm just glad I figured it out on my own.
Worked great
I talked to Amazon a number of times and even more than that. Amazon told me that they had corrected their compatibility filter to only allow apps that were compatible with my device. They said incompatible devices were given to them from the developers. I told them that was a load of .... and there was no way developers verified every single device to say if it worked or not. I suspected that if what they said was true they were only allowing devices that the developer said worked and ours is probably long forgotten.
Some kind of corruption issue is a much better answer.
Thanks a lot.

Didn't work from me.
Clear cash and data, still no previously installed apps showing.
Uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed, still no apps.
Running stock 3558 with enhancements.
Is anyone else having a problem with Amazon App Store.
I still cannot find any apps compatible with Gtab.
Clearing Cache and Data fixed the issue for me
I am running the stock rom with all updates from viewsonic. When I cleared the data and cache in the Appstore all of my apps returned. It went from 8 to over 80.
It never prevented me from buying apps just seeing them in my apps and updating them. I have never had any issue with finding apps to buy including the free app of the day.
I'm using the stock os ... and in upgrading my Amazon market have now found that I can't access Amazon App Store any more. I'm told that (everything I try) is incompatible with my device. It used to work, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the answer from Amazon:
Hello Al,
I am truly sorry about the troubles that you have been having. I have contacted our development team about this issue here about one week ago. They informed me that there was a increase devices that are not compatible with our apps, but they did not mean for it to take out almost everything for devices that clearly can handle the apps. They are working on getting it fixed but right now there is now estimated time for them to get this completed.
Thank you for your patients and look forward to seeing your soon.
Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?
EPIC FAIL on Amazons part. On a side note, that was on a Froyo rom (calk+clemv6). I'm now on HC (GTabComb3.3) & Amazon work with it.
i an into this problem last week. Deleted the data and cache from the application itself, re-entered my login information, and everything was magically compatible again.
Go to Settings, applications, manage applications, all, find Amazon appstore, and delete cache, then delete data, force close it. Close settings, restart appstore. You'll need to provide login information again, and it shoul work.
Still getting Not Compatible message in Amazon Appstore
I have a Viewsonic G Tablet with the stock operating system, except I did repatition the sd card. When I loaded everything back up I saw that all of my apps were not in my account. At that time I was able to search manually and find and install them, but now I can't even do that. I tried loading the previous version of the appstore but the apps were still not in my account and when I found them it would redirect me to load them from my account, where they are not at. Has anyone found a way around this yet?

I've run into this as well. Amazon rebuilt their compatibility list at some point and the gTab is not listed as incompatible with nearly every app in the store. The reason your apps don't show up is that incompatible apps are filtered from search results, including your purchased apps. This restriction also seems to apply to the installer as well. Don't know any workarounds. I've already contacted Amazon on multiple occasions to bring this matter to their attention, but no action seems to have been taken.

Worked for me, I was getting increasing numbers of incompatible notifications especially for the free app of the day.
Amazon should learn...
About the only thing that the Amazon market had going for it, other than FAoD, is that I didn't have to worry about apps not appearing in searches because someone didn't recognize my device. As a frequent ROM flasher on a number of android devices, it's a pain when a market search shows up nothing even when you know it's there.
Amazon shouldn't follow google in this. If anything, they can just post a disclaimer "This app is not compatible with your device, if you want to purchase it anyway, click here, waiving any liability if it crashes your device, and indicating that you understand that you won't get a refund if it doesn't work." Or even just give advanced users a flag in their profile to sign this disclaimer once and turn on the ability to download "incompatible" apps.
Sometimes I get error logging that's about it

My sony arc isnt downloading from the market saying its declined..... Anyone had this how do i solve it

Had this earlier with my arc. Tried to update google+, download seemed to go ok then got a pop up saying app not signed??? OK now tho

Don't use pirated apps , But if you legitemately purchased them, you could try downgrading your market, or clear your market cache.
this can happen if the app is removed from the market i have found that the app panda home even thou i could find it on the market it was removed but click on the notification it should tell u why
[RESOLVED] Download Declined Error
File this case under stupid user tricks:
I kept getting this error when trying to download a purchased app from the Google Market. The app showed in the market as purchased but as soon as it started to download the error would pop up: "Download declined".
Finally I remembered I had originally gotten the app from Getjar. When I went there the app downloaded with no problems. In the future I will need to remember the source of each purchased app, Amazon, Getjar, Market etc. Hope this helps some other bumbler like me.
I tried to order Ski Safari using play store on my SIII but I got an error that it can not download the game and I have to check status in google wallet. I checked in google wallet and it was saying that my order was cancelled and I would get the refund in 24 hours. I tried to buy this game through play store website and I got error that they can not process do to technical reasons. The error is attached here.
Is anybody else experiencing this? This was my first purchase after updating my SIII to new stock rom. All previous purchases were fine.
I tried a couple of different apps but same issue.
Are you sure it's compatible with ICS as there are lots of them that aren't.

I have the T-Mobile HTC One (M7 I believe). It's stock, not rooted and no mods made to it at all.
It's running Android 4.4.3, Sense 6.0, Build 6.10.531.10, Kernal 3.4.10-g40b 189c.
Several days ago, several app services started crashing: com.htc.sense.ime and google app (process gapps) has stopped are the two most frequent, with the latter displaying it's message three times in succession (i.e. after tapping OK, it reappears). Also YouTube and "Get started" frequently crash.
Performing a Google search, I have tried the most common "fixes" posted: clearing the cache for many apps, disabling then re-enabling download manager, reset app preferences, etc.
The issue persists. One poster suggested uninstalling all updates to the play store, which I did, but now I have no play store at all! I have com.android.vendingAssetBrowserAct..., which, when I tap it opens "Google Play", which says, "No Connection". I have no idea how to fix that. And it did not fix my issue anyway!
Today I checked for updates and discovered the Lolipop update (had check for updates turned off).The install on that fails too (I thought maybe it would allow me to install the Play Store).
So I'm leaning on resetting the phone and probably trying that update to Lolipop, but I'm hoping someone might have another suggestion I haven't yet found.
Thanks.
(Edit) Since originally posting this, Google Play Store has apparently re-installed itself (ver. 5.4.12). I had thought perhaps the Lolipop update was failing to install because it needed this app installed, but it's still failing to install despite Play Store now being there.

OK, since it's been about 24 hours and no responses, I'm going to assume this is one of those weird issues that could potentially be any app or service causing it. I have no idea which were the last apps or updates installed, especially since I had to get Google Play Store reinstalled and there apparently is no history to check.
I have not found anything more on the web either. Now I'll try troubleshooting why the system update to Lollipop fails. Later if I'm still not successful, I'll try a factory reset. Dang, this phone has been working great for two years. Weird this is happening!
So the phone has been working fine (mostly). Last night however, an hour or two after I connected it to a charger, I noticed the charge light was out. I tried to wake it and it was dead. Can't reboot, can't turn on.
Left it off the charger all night, but today it's still dead. Connecting to my pc results in a "Can't install driver" error.
I've checked the FAQ in this forum but there's nothing about this issue.
I'm going to do more searching, but If I don't find anything I'll start a new thread about this issue.
