Ever since I rooted I cannot install any apps outside of Google Play using a few different apk installer apps. I do have the box checked to install from unknown sources. When I click on the install button in the apk installer app nothing happens. However, the cancel button does work. I was able to install apps this way before rooting. And I have tried installing several different apps so it cannot be bad downloads. Even the new Facebook download could not be installed.
Can anyone think of anything else to check?
Have you tried putting them directly into sytem/app and rebooting?
Thats a new one on me.... I did notice after rooting that sideloaded apps took about twice as long to install as play store or amazon apps. How long have you left it to install?

It never installed, the "Install" button did not register when clicked. It was as if the installer was telling me that installing was not an option. The "cancel" button did work and that is how I got out of the application. I have tried this several times with several different apks using a few different installers.
I'm having the exact same probleem. Have you found the solution yet?

Hello -- was this matter ever resolved? I'm having the exact same problem.
Rooted Galaxy Note on Jellybean.
As I recall, it happened once earlier, and I think I was able to resolve it, but for the life me can't remember what I did.
I finally got it to work.
1) Force stop Google Play Store.
2) Clear data Google Play store
3) Uninstall updates Google Play Store
I was then able to updates my other apps.

So i need some help
Im trying to purchase some apps and I had apks for them previously to test them out and now im actually trying to buy one and it says purchased on android market
so i tried clearing the market data and cache and such but no luck
and when i click install on the app it just says cant install because you havent purchased the app
you would need to flash a stock ROM.
I had the same issue, this is what I did:
1. NAND backup
2. Flashed rooted stock ROM
3. Purchase apps
4. Restore NAND backup

After using a stolen app (or "testing" as you call it) it will cause this issue even if you uninstall the stolen software. You can use TB to freeze the old market and market updater. Download an apk of an old market version, unfreeze market, and conduct the purchase of the app. Once done, unfreeze the updater and reboot, and it will then show as purchased and be correct. There seems to be no other way.
Basically get an old version of the market running. You may have to use TB to detach the app from the market too.
How can you steal something that isn't corporeal anyway?

If Reinstall the app and then use Titanium backup you can Detach it by long pressing on which ever app your trying to purchase by selecting Detach from Market, then uninstall it and look it backup on the Market!!
What I've done (and its worked for me) is to clear all defaults, cache and data of the app before uninstalling.
Try reinstalling the apk, and doing that first then download from the market and see if it workes for you too

You can go to the Android market from a computer and purchase the apps. They don't show up as purchased. I think this is the easiest way around it. If i helped hit thanks.
Finally got it working!! It seems that on old Market versions this bug did not exist. So I did the following:
Method 1:
1. Go to Settings\Applications\Manage applications\All\
2. Look for "Market" or "Google Play Store"
3. Click on "Uninstall Updates"
4. Now go to the Market (should be the old green/white version) and install your desired app. It should no longer say "Purchased" and Presto!!
But you have to be fast before the market updates itself to "Google Play Store" or you can freeze the "Market Updater" app using Titanium Backup so you can do your thing without worring of it updating to the new version.
Method 2:
Find an old Market apk and replace the current one. Not sure which version it works because once I purchased my app it immediately updated the market and didn't give me chance to see the version .Should be the green/white app we had before.
Hope it works for you guys too!

Hi,
I downloaded an app from the black market a while ago, now it's on sale in the real market and I want to buy it.
I uninstalled it but it shows up as "Purchased" on Google Play and when I try to download I get an error saying it failed because I haven't purchased it.
I tried breaking the market link (with Titanium pro), it didn't help
What can I do? Phone (Atrix 4G) is rootet of course..
Thanks
Try buying it from the website instead of the phone.

Clear the market data and cache. You might have to reboot. Also make sure that you are at normal dpi for your phone.
Absolution 3.7/Redemption ICS A2b1
Found only an option to clear search history. Also, what is DPI?
edit: ok, stupid question. found it, tried it and rebooting now
Cleared date, cache and search history
Rebooted
Got the "we're upgrading to Google Play" message again and had to accept the T&C again
But still, shows as purchased...
I did this with another app in the past and didn't have this problem. After I uninstalled what I got from the black market I could immanently purchase it on the Android Market. Maybe it's because of the upgrade to Google Play?
Same here:
When XDA posted the article Over 100 Paid Apps For Free On GetJar, I went ahead and downloaded few apps from there. Now I want to really buy a couple of the apps that I like and I can't.
I tried:
- install the apk from getjar, unlink from market (with TB), uninstall apk
- install the apk from getjar, link to market (TB), uninstall from device
- clean data/cache for the app and the market
- uninstall
- wait.
- Report to market that I did not buy it.
and still: after 2 days with the app uninstalled, the Google Play Market still says "Purchased".
What can I do?
I don't know even it insists on these 2 apps of many that I have, the others doesn't show as installed or purchased even thought they are on my device at the moment :|
Update:
The solution is to install an older version of the marker, in which the app appears as Not purchased, and can be purchased without problems, here is the working version of the market (com.android.vending-2.3.6.apk):

This WORKED!
Just for the information:
Google Market 3.5.16 fixes this issue definitely: now it will not show side loaded apps as Purchased in any case, like this apps installed via Amazon, GetJar, APK, Black market are treated as just "Installed" in the Play Market. You can uninstall them from the market, and when you choose "Update" from the Play Market you'll be shown the "Purchase" dialog to buy the app.
Great to see Google care about Side loaded apps...
Article on DroidLife: Google Fixes “Purchased App” Issue for Sideloaded or Third Party Installed Apps
Hello,
My problem is identical to the one show here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
Basically, when you go to "My Apps" in google play, it just says "Applications and Games owned by this account will appear here."
I am unable to download previously purchased apps.
I have tried ALL the solutions on that thread to no avail.
It happened after I upgraded my Rom to a newer version (hydrogenics 23/03 to 25/03) but I doubt it is ROM related, since flashing back to the backup of my 23/03 rom does not resolve the problem.
My Google Play app is on the latest version (3.5.15) which is supposed to solve this issue.
I am really desperate and at a loss. Anyone can help?

Have that problem to, google play only shows the installed apps you bought and not the not yet installed ones. Type the name of the app in the market search bar and you can download and install it and then it shows up in the installed apps list.
At least for me it worked

The thing is, the purchased app doesn't even say "purchased". It just states the price like I have never purchased it at all.
Then when I try to "purchase" it again, it gives me a 403 error.
When I override it with the old Android market (2.3.6) it works fine.
Do note that even with Google Play in the Browser the same problem persists (Purchased apps are not shown as purchased, but purchase history is seen in Google Wallet, trying to purchase them again gives me an error, similar to what happens in the phone). Seems to be a problem on Google's end but I don't know why. I have emailed them but they have yet to reply.

Try clearing the data in google play in settings, apps, all. Load google play and close after it has loaded it and open it again. Your apps should now be visible

Haha that's the first thing I tried. Like I said, weird thing is, even on the browser on my computer the issue persists with the purchased apps, let alone the "My Apps" list.
It's so frustrating I'm about to smash the darn thing

I think it is ROM related. Paradoxxx (Hydrogenics' dev) was aware of it anyway.
I had this problem on his 29/03 version, did a full wipe (wipe data/wipe cache/dalvik/format system) and installed the 31/03 version, all was fine.
I have this app which I originally downloaded from the play store but it quit working with an update so I downloaded the earlier version from APK mirror, I didn't think it would update since it wasn't registered to the play store but no matter what I do it decides it wants to update from the play store anyway.
Things I have tried
1 not allowing auto update (for the app) in google play
2 deleting app from my google account
3 detaching from market using titanium backup
I've run out of things to try so any help would be appreciated.
(The app is WifiN by Wako. B)

maybe u can enable do not auto update from setting or the app has a auto-update feature itself.

I have a few apps that for one reason or another I refuse to update (most are due to MD) and it's annoying to have them in my update list.
Hello,
I have a pixel XL updated to the android beta, and I wanted to donwload the Google news app. This app is not available in my country so I went to a repository and downloaded an APK. I installed it, and everything works as usual, the app is running smoothly, but when I close it and leave the phone idle for a few minutes the APP dissapears from the launcher. If I try to install it again the phone tells me that is already installed and I can update it, if I do that the app appears again on the launcher and I can use it again.
Can anyone help me with this? should I block permissions for Google Play services (I think that is what is messing with my apps)? or it is possible to install something to prevent this? maybe a modded apk?

Have you tried changing the launcher? Since you are using a beta, it might be a bug within the launcher.

Obviously the app is not available in your country through the play store. The play store has that function where it verifies apps which I think is called Play Protect. Of you opted in, it could be that.

That is because the location of you play store is still set to your country, you have to change it in options. I can't do that because I have credit in the play store and doing so will take it away
