Hi
As above, a book I purchased during the sale a while back has vanished from my Play Books app, and the purchase history, and I can't see a way around getting the book back without re-purchasing it.
The book was previously on my device fine, but once I flashed to Slim ICS and went back to download all my books, this one (Girl with the Dragon Tatoo if you are interested) would only download 94% then stop. After endless removing and re-downloading the book to 94% it just removed itself from my purchase history, even though all my other (admittedly free) books are still there.
Is this just a DRM problem from flashing and redownloading too many times?
Apologies if this has already been answered, searched the Q&A section and found no topics.
Thanks in advance

I have a G Tablet that I've been running on stock firmware until today. I had downloaded a couple of apps (Angry Birds and something else I never used) but most of the time my tablet sat and waited until I heard there was a reasonably stable Honeycomb ROM to install. Today I took the plunge.
Installation of ClockWork went without a hitch. Installation of the ROM (GTabComb 3.3) went without a hitch. I booted up the first time and entered the GMail account I've had for years. I got the "Unable to process purchase" error. I googled, I found a thread that walked me through deleting the account info and clearing the cache info. Then, instead of re-entering my old GMail account, I set up a whole new account from the G Tablet. On finishing it gave me an error that the account was created, but it was unable to store the account info on my tablet. I still get the purchase error. I've tried the work-around a few threads mention, but the app market website says I have no device associated with my account. I've gone into Settings>About and all the entries for type of tablet, etc. are blank. I'm guessing this is the problem (but realize my guess could be totally off).
Is there anything I can do that I haven't already? I've read posts about the market until my eyes are bleeding, and I've found nothing that will let me get past this.
Market v3.1.5

Go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17983747&postcount=1, download & install Market v3.1.5 & you will be good to go.
And that downloaded and installed perfectly, and I'm downloading and installing without a glitch. Thanks!
Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

it's good information to know and very helpful, albeit discouraging
Has anyone else had the problem of not being able to pull down apps from Google, because Market (or Play, or whatever its called) thinks they are already installed?
I recently got tired of constantly fiddling with my GTablet to get it to work, so I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a Nexus 7. I NvFlashed back to stock (with CWM, though), hoping to throw it on Craigslist to help fund the newer toy. However, I wanted to make sure some of the basic functions, like google play books will work. But when I go to google market, it thinks any of the apps that I had on previous ROMs are still there, and doesn't seem to download them. I've checked in the Settings->Applications though, and my GTab certainly doesn't think any of them are still there.
Any ideas for why google has gotten confused?
Hey, I'm new to the forum and wanted to say thanks in advance for the help and to mention that I searched the forum before posting so I apologize if I've overlooked something.
I recently purchased a Polaroid PMID720 dual core Android 4.1 tablet to keep myself busy at work and I don't have access to the Google Play store, I had purchased a Polaroid PMID701 for my daugher for Christmas and had no problem getting the Google Market installed but so far I haven't been able to do the same with this one. I initially triend installing the older Google Market following the instructions found at the-digital-reader website (these are the instructions I used for my daughter's 701) but after I get it installed and attempt to start the app it crashes when I try to add my Google account. While searching I've stumbled onto the thread for the Polaroid AIO software several times but Southern Telecom (the company that makes the Polaroid tablets) doesn't offer the firmware for the PMID720 on their website.
I know that this is far from a high end tablet - it was purchased to watch a few videos, read some ebooks, and screw around on the web when I'm dead at work - but not having access to the Google Play store severly limits its usefulness (the Amazon store suuuucks). Any advice is appreciated and, again, thanks in advance for the help.

Google: "Installing Google Play without rooting on Android Mobiles or Tablets"
I cannot enter the url. I had the same exact problem as you. This method has worked for me (I also have PMID720 and got the same error as you when following the instructions that worked with earlier models).
While I was able to get Android Market installed, Google Services seemed to crash constantly. Also, none of the music apps running on the PMID720 recognized the playlists on my SD card (the same playlists that worked flawlessly on my old Emerson EMS543 and another Android device).
So, my solution was to return the PMID720 and exchange for a PMID705. Yes, it's slightly slower and less memory, but everything works: Android Market, Play Lists, etc... And, it was $30 cheaper.
I followed the instructions at:
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2...ps-gplay-etc-on-polaroi-pmid701/#.UN48FG9X2WZ
The Play Store would say 'blah no data provisioning' or 'no reliable service...'.
I then went to Settings>Accessibility and at the bottom there is box to enhance web accessibility. I turned that on and launched the Market and followed the prompts. Afterwards a Google account was in my settings and I could access my apps at the Play Store. I then reset the Accessibility setting to 'Not Allowed' because I do not know what all it does.
I should also mention that I altered my '/etc/hosts' file, but I am not sure that was needed. I immediately downloaded the XDA app and saw your post. Wierd, huh?
Hope this helps.
Edit: I erased the google market and retried my steps and they failed. I had to install the apps in this order to get it to work again (I did leave the Accessiblity feature on again):
1) OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk
2) SetupWizard.apk
3) GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk
4) vending-3.1.3-signed.apk
When I tried to connect with my gmail I got the same errors as above until I rebooted my tablet, it then finally connected. I sincerely hope this works for you. Also if you have installed any of the above, delete their data and reinstall.

I followed your instructions, but after the reboot, I still got the no data provisioning error. I then toggled the wifi to airplane mode and back and then I was able to sign in and download apps from the Market and the Gmail app began syncing. Chuck

Look this up: 5363-visual-land-tablets-google-play.html
That post will tell you all you need to know to get Google Play Store (the ICS version, whatever that was) on your PMID720. I just finished doing it, and it is working fine. If only my wireless at home was! lol
I used the wireless adb portion of the play_alpha2 package. It worked flawlessly, once I realized which copy I needed to download. They all have exactly the same name, but they're not all identical packages.
Good luck!

Updated method!!!
I can't be the only one out here still using this tablet and trying to figure out how to improve it! The Google Apps are still working just fine. No forced closes or errors of any kind. I am pleased as punch about this, but it's kinda frustrating to come in so late in the game and find nobody looking anymore.

Hi All,
I've had my Nook STR for about a year now, and had instantly rooted it with TouchNooter. I did this in order to get the best out of my reading experience (mostly it was that its promised PDF reader SUCKED!). So in the process I also had my own tablet. When I received an iPad this winter I stopped using my Nook, but now I want to give it to my wife so she can have an ereader.
Now Here's my Problem
I decided to restore and reroot my Nook so that it could have a clean slate (it was draining its battery too quickly and had too many apps). When I went back to Google Play to download Kindle it wouldn't allow it saying it was already installed. Instead, I had to get it from the Market. Now the crux of the issue is that when I try and read a book that we bought on Amazon it is saying I need to upgrade my Kindle app, which goes back to Google Play issue.
Anyone have experience with any of these issues and have any solutions?
Thanks!
