So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

I mainly plan to use my NT as a reader, but I am interested in adding Kindle / Amazon App Store / Android Marketplace just to have the access. I've been successful except for 1 thing.
I'm not interested in a special launcher as 90% of my activity is going to be straight from the NT home page. What I'm wanting to do is put shortcuts to the third party apps on the stock NT home page. Before you say it, YES I've read the FAQ.
The FAQ directs me to get "Nook Color App Manager" from the Android Marketplace. 2 questions:
1 - Android market won't let me D/L anything. I login fine with my Google account info, but it tells me there are no Android phones associated with my login and refuses the download. I can see the app on the screen, but can't get it. How do I get around that since I don't have an Android phone??
2 - I've read that with the newer versions, the app manager isn't going to allow me to put shortcuts on my home screen anyway. Can someone confirm or deny if this functionality still works? I'm on rooted 1.4.0 by the way.
Thanks all!

Try clearing the data and cache for the market in app management. That should get it to show up.

I believe clearing data & cache in the Market app will force your NT to re-associate with Android Market.
I believe that is one of your aims.
It didnt work. I'm logged into the Android market through the web browser and my gmail account. Is that right, or is there a standalone app for the NT? When i click the web d/l link on the app I want, a popup comes that says something to the effect of "there is no Android phone associated with this account. Please sign in with another account."
Does that make sense?

It would assist others in helping you if you would differentiate between using the NT or your PC. (Both platforms have browsers and can access a Google account.)
There is a stand alone app for your device "Android Market". I believe it comes in the gApps package when using Indirect's root method.

Depends on if you are using the "Market" app or a web browser.
OK. I think I got it now. I don't like having alot of extra "stuff" on my NT, so I only used the root script to do the root and declined everything else. i went back and let the Gapps install, and it seems to be working now. Sorry for not be clearer in my original question, but all is well now.
Thanks again!

One of my friend have installed a pirated app of swiftkey...now the market have started throwing error for him for swiftkey and it had stopped giving predictions. He came to me asking for help. I told him i can only help in case he purchase it (and sale was also going on) so when he went to his market to buy it shows there already purchased (even after uninstalling from phone). I tried for him by detaching the app from the market from titanium backup but still it shows there. Cleared all cache and data for the app and market and still no avail. Is there any way to fix this or will have to go ahead and buy from another google account and have multiple accounts added in market ?
*(sorry for informal english and any grammatical errors that might have made their way in)*
Thanks much in advance!!
I have never heard of a pirated app showing as 'purchased' in the app store.
Uninstall the app.
Clear app store cache and data. Reboot.
if it shows as purchased, just reinstall. If not, buy it.
It seems like he wants the legit app and not the pirated one. If the app store shows it as purchased, and he/you, whoever, downloads it, it will be the legit app. The app store will not give you a pirated version.
I see no problem here, other than your friend pirates apps.
Titanium Backup has ability to detach apps from Market.

No it doesn't work like that. When I get free apps off amazon the market sometimes shows when they need to be updated. If you try to update them, it gives you an error saying you didn't pay for it. If you uninstall the app, it will still show up as purchased, and you won't be able to purchase it or install it.

No it shows. Normally when u install apps from Amazon or use some apk for testing then those apps too show as purchased in the market. U cant reinstall from the market and neither can purchase them. Market doesnt allow you to repurchase the purchased item(though infact it was never purchased).
I have tried detaching it from market though TiB but still this doesnt get fixed.
Not sure if reflashing the whole rom after a full wipe will help.
Anybody??

Detaching doesnt help Already done that.
You could try buying it from the market website. Apps not installed from the market will not show under My Apps but if you search for the app on your device it will show as installed since it probably detects the app on the device itself.

No luck there too. Web market also shows that the app is purchased. Guess its synced to google market's servers and even reflashing wont work after full wipe.

That is weird that it happens that way. It has not happened to me and I use amazon market and have pushed many apps to my phone. I have not encountered this. Also, android market has never prompted me to update an app that I got from Amazon.
Not saying it does not happen, it seems obvious that it does, it just has not happened to me.
Is the app available on Amazon market? If so, can he just purchase it from there?

Was referring the Amazon apps case as stated by Waddle in the above post. And sadly Amazon not available in our country
I seem to have this issue as well. Trying to move away from amazon market and re-purchase my apps on the android market, however the amazon purchased apps are showing in my android market as purchased and I can't get rid of it.
Any other ideas on how this can be fixed?
sign in with another google id and you can buy it again.But this way has it draw backs too..
I have the same problem with swiftkey... I got it from the GetJar store a few months ago but it was an old version and i uninstalled it. now I cant buy it from the market as it is shown as purchased. and as said by abhisahara nothing seems to help.
cant anyone think of something to do?
Same thing going on here
oddly enough, I had dead space and shadowgun then i saw the 50% off and i uninstalled both from my android and then i went and purchased dead space and it worked but then went to purchase shadowgun and it shows as purchased and i cannot neither download it nor purchase it. It is becoming annoying. Any ideas?
have you tried uninstalling it from within the market app on your Android device?
My forum colleague found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)
5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.
It really works, I've been looking for ages !
After a few tries and uninstalling the app from my phone, I could purchase it. No more update worries !

Thanks man! I've had this problem with Tapatalk and Swiftkey, I've had pirated ones, and now I wanted to buy them.
I installed a lovely new rom (AGABEY) and went onto Play Store and noticed there was an app called MTC by OJSC Mobile Telesystems.
I understand it may be down to either Samsung or the Developer of the rom to query this but I searched and had no joy.
Has any one came across this and managed to remove it?

Me too.
This came up for me too, last night, but I'm running stock Touchwiz/gingerbread 2.3.3.
I've rooted and unlocked my phone and have Clockworkmod but that's it.
Phone is a gt-i9100m running KG2. Carrier is Virgin Canada.
I'm more concerned about why this is came up. The app of course wants every permission in the book. Has my carrier, or phone, been compromised?
I'm super paranoid about giving Superuser. The only app with an automatic Accept is Terminal Emulator. So it's not some rogue root usage causing this.
Turns out this is a bug in the market, where carrier-provided apps on your phone will confuse the market into thinking they are a different, existing Market application.
Unsure whether doing this update would replace the carrier-provided app, whichever it is, with this strange Russian one..
Google "Karoges" for more details on a similar issue, where a test app shows up in place of the stock Samsung video player.
Regardless of whether this is harmless or a potential vector for attack, it needs to be resolved on Google Play's end. I submitted a Bug feedback, please do the same if you come across this!

I noticed that test app aswell. I tried a few apps with freezing. (Rom Toolbox) but that didn't display it. I will give Titanium a go but I have a feeling it won't display the two apps (Unless you have had success then thank you!).
Only time you really notice it is when your on the new Google Play with the two options in "My Apps". "Installed" and "All".
I have not seen it since 2.3.3 but then again i have no stock rom since then .
Is it actually on your phone if so it should be locatable on a rooted phone .

I deleted the 'AP mobile' App but this is still in my apps list waiting for an update. Its strange that I couldn't see this in my installed apps list from the Google Play Store, but an update is waiting.
The only app from OJSC Mobile Telesystems in the app store is their MTS Voicemail+ app, which is russian language only. May be the default voicemail app on my phone is bugged.
Update:
It doesnt install even if you download.
This has just turned up on my GS2 (Tmobile UK) , I can't get rid of it and I'm not rooted . Would appreciate some help in getting rid of this, as I think it is a virus.
It has appeared in my updates too, seems a lot of people have it turning up in the google play store to be updated. I just flagged it also!

Freezing the social hub (rather than removing it) seems to be good enough to persuade the unwanted app to disappear from Google Play.
I presume this is popping up because we've installed an Eastern European ROM
(Polish in my case) in our haste to get ICS?

Where are my paid apps in the market?
I have over 97 "Paid" apps that I would go to after a rom flash, then I moved onto TI back up because of the simplicity of doing a restore.
In the past with the Samsung Vibrant 2.2 rom , when I go to the market, under my apps, I would see my apps that I paid for.
Now with my New Samsung SG3 4.xx rom , when I go to the market, half of them are gone. It's like I have to search for them and half of the time I cant remember what it was I had installed until I need that app.
What is the fix for this?
How do I see ALL of my paid apps at the Android market?
In Google Play, go to menu and then 'My apps'. A list of installed app will be displayed. Swipe to the right, and a list of previously installed app will appear. Select your paid apps from this list.

There's also an app I heard about just yesterday named "Legacy Play Store" that will only display your PAID apps. You can sideload it without root on pre-Jellybean devices (need root on JB).

Yes I agree, there should be a better way to have your paid apps listed, ALL of your paid apps.
I think google knows of this because I am not the only one with this problem and as the play market becomes mature, I am sure that there are other bugs that are now starting to surface.

Did you check out the legacy play store that was linked? It looks like it will do what we are looking for..
My only question is how do you install an app from a apk?
Defiantly, I love differentiating my purchased apps from my installed apps. I have 4+ devices.... I have 100s of apps installed and a lot are free but I do have numerous paid apps I have purchased that I would like to view without scrolling ALL the way to the bottom of the My Apps page.
Also, play.google.com does not properly detect when an app IS NOT installed on your phone so you cannot install a app from the website that was previously on your phone.

I have asked the support from the Google Market Place before it was changed to Play. This is what they told me, regarding installing apps on multiple devices. The Apps from the Market, now Play are tied into your email address hence your account. Not a phone number, so if you are to have 4 phones, as long as they are signed into a valid single account then you are free to install your apps on each puppy.
The white link is "My Orders & Settings" on the footer of the page......

I've been having Titanium Backup for a few months now, but have always been curious about what the "Market links" are.
So my questions are:
What are market links?
How do they work?
What does attaching an app to market do/creating a market link?
What does removing a market link do?

market links connect your app to google play store.
when your app receives an update market links helps you to be aware of the same.
its helps u get update info abt your app
if you are rooted, Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market. this will remove your market link but then you wont get any updates..

if you purchase an app the the purchase details are linked to your google account. so even if you reflash rom / wipe your phoone etc , if you log into the same google account it will automatically show as you have purchased that app.
Although for safety try not to mess with the market links of purchased apps..

Thank you so much with the fast reply!
One more question, when I download apps through the Play Store, and I go into Titanium Backup, I would expect an option in the menu saying "Detach from market", but they only have the "Attach to market option". this doesnt make any sense since the apps downloaded from the Play Store are already attached from the market. Can someone please explain this to me? Does the "attach to market option only work with sideloaded apps?
One last thing about Paid side loaded apps: Plants Vs. Zombies is $0.99 on the play store, if I side load it and atttach it to the market via a link, will I get updates even though it's sideloaded? Also will it appear in my app history as purchased if it's installed on the device? Will it appear as purchased if it's uninstalled from the device?
Thanks!

its showing "attach to market" because u have not installed that app from play market. you might have downloaded apk from somewhere and installed it separately(side loaded). Check other apps too that u have downloaded from play store have the same problem.

attaching market link should ensure that you get updates regardless whether the app is sideloaded or not ! i mean thats what attaching to market means ! no matter whether you are using TB or not if you have purchased app the it is linked to your google account that the app is purchased by you. Google is'nt counting on everyone to install TB and use the option of attach to market to get updates on purchased apps....

if you are rooted, Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market. this will remove your market link but then you wont get any updates..

unfortunately only for the time beeing.. after a reboot the link is there again. Pretty annyoing as there are some devs patching their apps to crap until they don't work anymore. Got one of them and it was so easy to update all your apps, but you have to do it one after another 'cause this s**t app simply does not work when updated.
