Repurchasing apps - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I just upgraded from the og evo to the lte, do i have to repurchase apps such "documents to go" and tapatalk.
Thanks in advance.

Not if you use the same gmail account. Install on as many as you like.

As long as you use the same email from your old EVO you won't have too.

unfortunately it is still trying to make me repurchase the apps.

I still have my paid apps from the hero says. I changed phones 4 times since then. You have to be using a different gmail account.

Yea, the OP is doing something wrong.
I have a Moto Droid, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, Evo 4G LTE, and a Moto Xoom and can access any app I've every purchased from any of them.

If you used the same gmail account, you should be able to get all your paid apps free on your LTEVO.

It's linked to your GMAIL email
ive carried over apps from the HTC Hero days to my HTC Evo 4G, HTC EVO 3D and My Evo 4g LTE

Using the Gmail account you purchased your apps under, open play store, upper right hand corner open up the user control panel and select "My Apps". From this point you have two tabs "Installed" and "All". Any apps you purchased but don't have installed can be found and reinstalled by navigating to "All" and scrolling through your previous purchases/installs. I'm not too sure if the apps you purchased have to be uninstalled from your previous device before you can install onto another one. Either way hope this helps.

I have a 4g, a 3d, a 4g lte. I've used X-Android on an old Windows Mobile phone, had in my possession a couple of Samsung Galaxy Tabs, made several android installs on various phones and devices rooted and unrooted.
Never have I ever had to repurchase an app I bought before as long as I used the same gmail account with the phone/device.
/writer for a tech blog, nothing weird going on with me and google cheating.

I had a similar problem on my mom's OG EVO. I had her email set up, but I also signed in with mines to restore apps that I purchased, There was a glitch that almost had me repurchasing apps. I think I solved it by going into recovery and wiping both cache and dalvik. If anything... you could always do a fresh install of the ROM.

Funny thing is, I have the same Gmail account on my Asus Transform and my Moto Droid 4. I just purchased R-Type and Blazing Star last night for my tablet. This morning I tried to download them for my phone and it had a price tag on it. Also, there was an icon of the circle with a line through it above the price. Like I have to repurchase the app for my phone. Did google change something in their TOS recently?

It's happened to me before. I logged out and rebooted the phone with fast boot turned off. I logged back in and let everything sync for a min. Worked after that

I went to the market and removed the old phone and from there I pushed any apps that were purchased that wouldn't show up as purchased on my LTE

Weird, after a reboot today, I noticed that those apps are now available for download. however the circle with the line through it is still above the word "purchased" now.

If I'm not mistaken, the circle with the bar just means its not currently installed on the device. I could be wrong tho, but that's what it seems like as I'm looking through the list of "my apps". On my purchased and installed apps, it says installed without any circle.

That's a new option in the play store so you can remove apps from your history you no longer want associated with your account.

Google removes tethering apps from Market for Sprint phones???

Don't know this has been noticed or mentioned before but it looks Sprint may have forced Google's hand & had them remove all of the tethering apps. I just rooted a friend's Evo Shift for him & noticed none of the tether apps were on the Market. Then checked from my phone & got this:

The best versions are available from the Google site host anyway. No real loss here.

I noticed them slowly doing this... Best thing to use is Market Enabler for root users, or download the apk from another site.
Trying to be as helpful as I can.
didn't get either of those messages when i looked for them.
either way, i back up all my apps for this very reason. you never know when one of them won't be available anymore.
i have about 4 different mp3 dl's on my 3d right now... none of which are available on the market anymore. lol
4shared has a app in the markert

Barnacle also hosts the APK on their website
Hopefully it means we keep unlimited data on phones for another year or two.
Just did a search some popped up but get WiFi tether with yellow WiFi symbol it allows ps3 network to work I forget if its adhoc or other.
HTC EVO 3D rooted
So what?
All the ROMs you can install for the Evo 3D include either wifi tether and/or unlocked hotspot, anyways.

Yeah, right. hehe
I wonder if Sprint is hoping that root users buy their expensive tethering plan or stop using illegal tethering methods and free up some network traffic. I doubt either will happen.

tethering apps gone from Android Market?
Something is lost in the translation of that story, or it's totally made up.
Lookup "Wireless Tether for Root Users" on the Android Market. It's there
along with a few others. Frankly, I don't see much change from over a month ago. Pretty much the same variety of tethering apps as before.
Author's webpage for the app I mentioned is still on code dot google dot com.
Look up "android-wifi-tether" on that website for the specific page.
It's the one I downloaded over a month ago and it's still there today.
Works great.
Hmmm...have to check out that Hotspot hack. Sounds very interesting and possibly a cleaner way to achieve the same thing.
None of the tethering apps are still in the market for me. Nothing shows up when I search for them.

When I switched phones a couple weeks ago that option went away for me. Not sure if it's sprint or the market. I've heard they started doing away with it March 1st. Not sure how true that is though.

I believe if you go into settings>applications>market and clear cache and data it will prompt you. It should anyway. Might need to reboot afterwards.

Can't download or update apps from market on 4G

I am having a strange problem on the Google play market store, whenever I try to Download or update an app on 4G it gives me a message saying "waiting for network" and it just hangs there and does not start the Download process but when I switch back to 3G it starts the download right away which would be fine if my 3g wasn't so dam slow...Can anyone help? I'd really rather not download over 3g, I have tried clearing the cache for the play store app but the problem remains. I am able to do everything(browse the net, stream video, etc) on 4g except download apps from the store...wtf?

Hmm interesting, mine stopped working out of the blue as well...I have been using mean Rom 3.92 for over 4 months and it was working fine until recently. Have you found any work around? Could it be something wrong with the Google play store and not our phones?

Not our Rom or our phone. Some one over at the HTC EVO shift forums have the same issue. I say its the update. So what we need to do is downgrade the play store and break the damn auto update..... Any thoughts on how? :c

I saw a Sprint Users.com forum where all sorts of Wimax phones are having the issue currently (OG Evo, EG4T, etc). Mine's been having problems since last night. I just disabled 4G and it immediately started downloading. Unfortunately 3G is horribly horribly slow in Raleigh, NC these days. Might as well be using the Edge network. Ugh.
researching varisous forums...multiple handset manufacturers, and multiple carriers. Google has been blaming Sprint, but I also see similar posts on Virgin Mobile and (at least one mention of...) Verizon.

HTC Evo 4G
Non-Rooted
For me it works fine on 3g and wifi, but 4g is broken. "WAITING FOR NETWORK" is all it says. Been on the same Rom for the last 4 months. So Yea this is definitely not the phones.
update: I uninstalled all updates for the google play app and it downloaded perfectly. Now I honestly can't see how this isn't anything other than a bad update from google.
update: however this only works once per app since the market updates and then when the next app starts Bam! Waiting for network.

Guys try uninstalling the updates as one of you mentioned but also go into system/app and delete MarketUpdater.apk. Copy it to your sdcard somewhere first. And after deleting reboot.
I don't have 4g and never used it but if your looking to use a version of Play Store that won't update that's the way to do it.

They say no one from Sprint actually reads or cares about their user forums.
But at very least it gets the message out that there is a real problem.

NFC and Google wallet?

It states it has NFC, but will it be able to use Google wallet. I know Verizon doesn't want users to have or use Google wallet, however haven't seen anything addressing this. It it will be able to do Google wallet, this WILL be my next phone.

No verizon does not support google wallet. Currently sprint is only one with google voice and wallet. I have the evo lte and yeah i do have wallet but the damn thing is a pain in the azz to deal with if you flash alot. You have to flash it seperately and wipe it clean after every flash and reset it up everytime. Everytime you flash a rom you will have to reset up card info name addy etc. I quit using it isnt worth the time or hassle.

I dunno though i get the same unsupported message with my evo on sprint being rooted. Not many places take it anyhow and it really doesnt save much time. Ive found that many places there end is messed up. This is definately something that is something that makes no difference to me if it has it or not. I have it and dont think ive used it in over a month.

But that alone means nothing. Wallet is still is not supported on Verizon and it is sounding like we'll need a modified version to side-load for Wallet to work.
Yeah, I tried to install it from the play store. It opens then tells me the device/network is not supported and quits. Such a shame. F'in Verizon...
