I have been trying to get tintin to work on my View for the past week (which is not available for this device through the market) without any luck. I went to gameloft through the "100% HD Games" APP that comes with new HTC View 4G and saw TinTin HD available for this tablet. I bought it for $4.99 hoping it would finally work.
After paying with PayPal it took me to a page with the Download Link. I clicked on the link and got "Page Not Found". i think i have wasted my $4.99 and cant even figure out a way to download the +1 App for free (Promo going on NOW on Gameloft Games 1-22-11). Contacted GameLoft will update on what they say.
Just wanted to warn everyone so that no one else makes this mistake.
I never trust crapware like that! I use Go Launcher EX, which per my personal request, is now compatible with Tablets. Just go into the app drawer, press menu, hide app, then click the apps you don't want to see, such as stupid crapware!

Well gameloft isn't really crapware. Bloatware possibly but def not crapware. They put out very quality stuff. I'm sure it wasn't a scam or anything like that. Im sure it was a glitch in the system and gameloft will quickly resolve it. Gameloft has very good customer service.

I have read all the Amazon App threads I could find and I noticed someone posted that there was a thread that explained a way to install the amazon apps once you downloaded them without the need to have the app store installed. I cannot find that thread.
Is there a way that if I want to delete the amazon app store and then install or reinstall the apps I got from them(free or paid) without needing the app store app installed or can you point me to the thread please.
Also is there a way for the regular market to recognize them so I can get any updates in the future?
Thank you
I second this question... I'd love to know the answer

I think you just need to keep the appstore installed. No big deal.
Technically you can delete the appstore and keep the apps installed...but they won't run, so not too useful. I haven't noticed any problems with having it installed though, may I ask what the point is?

I was just messing around with the phone and going thru my I dont need this and dont need that and decided I didnt want to have the amazon app & the amazon app store app anymore and unistalled them. Then about a day later, went to play one of the apps I did get from there and it didn't run.
Was just curious. Still in my eris frame of mind when I used to go thru my apps and take out ones not really used so I could save space.
Im getting help now in dealing with getting rid of the Eris low memory complex...
Thanks all
This situation may be related.
I had moved Amazon apps to SD card (at least I think it was one of the apps I moved :/ ). Regardless, I tried to use an app from Amazon; I could not use it until I had signed on at Amazon's site.

Same here. I cannot run any Amazon app if the Amazon Appstore is uninstalled. Also, I cannot update any Amazon app through AppBrain or the Market because it appears the packages are signed differently. Need to update the Amazon apps through Amazon Appstore.
Well I guess this is the caveat of getting the free apps... I wonder if this also applies to apps you've actually spent money on through amazon app store...

Most likely. The only way to get updates for your Amazon apps is to go through the Amazon Appstore, whether they are paid or free.
I would have to agree; free or paid, you likely have to be signed in. Tis a pain to be electronic slaves to sites, ain't it?
Yes, you need to have Amazon App Store (AAS) installed and signed in, in order to update paid apps. I confirmed this last night when trying to use Titanium Backup which I purchased through AAS.
I can't really see a reason not to have it installed though, literally, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning after turning my alarm clock off is checking to see what app they have available...

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.

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.

I was aware of that, but it does not launch. Instead it immediately upgrades to Play Store as well.

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.
I've looked around but I haven't been able to find a way to view only the apps that I've purchased from the "my apps" tab in the play store. It shows me just about every app that I've downloaded since the introduction of the play store, including EVERY SINGLE free app that I ever downloaded and uninstalled. This is a huge oversight on googles part and it's really annoying.
Anybody aware of any fixes?

Not that I know of.. I was looking through mine today too and hoping I could sort them by most recently installed, but no sort options whatsoever that I could find. And there's a ton of free crap that I've installed and uninstalled, wish I could just remove some of them from the list.
I called google maybe 3 months ago to ask about this. I too thought it was annoying as hell. But was told by the rep that this was how "google" wanted the my apps list to do and there wasn't a plan to fix it..

It's such an obvious flaw I can't see how they'd actually want it that way. It has absolutely no practical use. At the very least they could have given us the option to sort the apps somehow.
In a previous release of the play store there was a way y to view your paid apps but after an update a few months ago they took out that option.
The only thing that would work would be an older modified version with the "auto update " feature stripped from it
Sent From My Righteous EVO 4G LTE
So frustrated by this, I have hundreds (most of them no longer in use) of apps listed under "My orders" with no way to sort them by price.
How am I to find my paid for apps Google?
I think we all should send a request to Google to fix this.

You still can open playstore hit apps then slide screen to left. You have top paid apps top free best paid and so one. It still seperates them.

Yeah it kind of sucks even free apps your try once for a minute and delete get stuck to your "owned" list.
What really sucks is I have 4 android devices, including a googletv unit and all the apps I've ever downloaded on my other devices show up on my phones app list.

Open the Market, the 3 Dots on the top right next to the search click it Choose My Apps, Now Swipe Left it will Show you ALL the APPs you have Ever Installed or Purchased
If you want to push the Apps to your Device just jump on the Computer and go to https://play.google.com/apps and click install and it will install on your chosen device

Hi,
http://www.storageoptions.com/products/scroll/tablets/scroll-pocket
It's cheap as chips and perfect for my kids.
But I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's at all possible to install another marketplace on to the system? e.g. amazons marketplace or getjar? I think as long as I can get Angry Birds on it then I should have a couple of happy bunnies for xmas :victory:
Thanks in advance
I'm pretty sure all you need to do for GetJar, is to use the browser, search and download the app and install. Make sure you check install non-market apps in "manage apps". and get a file manager (if it doesn't come with a pre-loaded one) to install it and you should be good to go. Do you know what market is on it to start? I assume Google, but you know what happens when you assume right? If it is the Google market (Play), the you should be set there. It has the Angry Birds, no prob. Hope I was some help!
It comes with SlideMe, not really the best TBH.
I have contacted Amazon and they said to download it. Will have to buy them and see what's happens.
I guessed this was the case but was hoping to get it confirmed from the wise old ones here
Cheers for replying.
For anyone who doesn't have it, I would really suggest it. This is the Appstore from the kindle devices and the great thing about it is that it offers 1 free paid app every day (at the moment it's Monument Valley) and during holidays it offers a lot more. You can easily get it from the Amazon website. ?
What I dislike about it, I downloaded MV for free during a 1 day promo last year, is that when I uninstall the app store (even temporarily) it's impossible to run the apps it has installed, really dislike this kind of control/DRM personally. If anyone knows a workaround I'd love to hear about it, of course!

I don't think there is but it's I don't think keeping the app I stalled is a big deal given the huge amount of storage you get with the g4 and it's always a better alternative to downloading apps illegally or paying for them ?

Hmmm. I always jump on these free apps/games during their promotions where I typically install the the stupid App store, "GET APP", then cancel the download... just so it is "purchased".
Never did I ever have to keep the Amazon Store to run the games I downloaded. They just show up in my App Drawer as normal apps.
Then log out of the amazon app store and try to run one of these usually payed apps. Having the same issue with tunein from amazon. Only works when I'm logged in.
What is the difference between the amazon app store and the amazon app, where you can download apps as well? Does the amazon app store have more apps thsn amazon?
