This has probably been asked a million times, but I can't find anywhere that answers it specifically.
If I download the APK's that I installed from the Google Play store, cleaned my phone and re-install a ROM, then I install the APKs from any various method (direct/manual, Airdroid, ADB, Titanium Backup, whatever) - will those apps be recognized and updated by the play store? Or should I just manually install the apps from the play store every time?
They'll be updated, unless pirated.

yes, i cant deny this, im also having same problem, but only when i try to update all my app (already installed app), it said 'starting download' and nothing. then i try updating it 1 by 1, and its work..did you have 3.4.7?if you already have this version and the problem not fixed, maybe you can go 'clear cache' of google play in manage application..
Thx for the APK. The new market is super fast now! I replaced Market 2.3.6. I kinda had to shoehorn this APK into my Froyo Bumblebee v2.4 ROM on LG VM670 since it didn't want to sideload properly.
-Use Titanium Backup to Backup your version of Market then uninstall Market 2.3.6
-rename the Google Play APK to vending.apk
-use RootExplorer to mount / as r/w
-copy the new vending.apk to /system/apps
-change permission to rw-r-r--
-reboot phone
The new Google Play APP icon didn't change (could be the Glow Legacy Theme I use with ADW), it stayed the same as the original Market Icon but the new market works.
NOt full version
I have this version of the market I can download only apps because the other tabs/option are not present on x10 mini.

Why you remove compatible chek on Gplay aka Marked ?
How do you think ? User informed not supported app or bypassed this and download looots of **** who is not work (ie HD games on Mini ) or left stuff before download coz they are uncompatible?
I download for example Zinga Poker , yeah its work but its out of screen
Anyway back to stock G-play
And + for the nice try.
PS : Auto update not work like already reported just one by one .

it fixed the compatible check, thats mean, you can download loads of apps, but for our devices, which is in qvga, not all apps will ok when running.
auto updates now working for me, need to update it one by one..
Not working here. Still doesn't appear country restricted apps like Play Music (Google Music).
I'm outside US/Canada and I wish someone can mod Play Store so we (outside) can browse music, books and video stuff.
I can do this but I need to start WiFi hotspot on my laptop, through Hotspot Shield, clear Play Store data, and then access to full market.
Will be possible to mod this restrition?

You can try removing your account from your device and then sign in again. I get this problem quite frequently on my Note , and Sgs2. I believe removing your account from any Android device requires you to format it.

Uninstall the updates of the Play store from "Manage Apps". Or replace your current "Vending.apk" from system/app with a 2.x version of market . Then everything should work. Don't worry, it will be updated to Play Store in few minutes.
go into settings select apps then look for market select it n clear data, iftht still dont work u can just download the file apk from the internet

I was installing free apk's yesterday in CF-rooted Galaxy S3. Some I download directly from the Play Store in my device and some I get from the XDA forums (ike SuperSU), transfer it to the device and install the apk from there. With the first few programs, Google Play easily detects that it is INSTALLED but after I installed many programs it isn't able to detect them. Usually a status of "INSTALLED" is seen in Play Store or play.google.com (in the PC) for installed apps or games. But now there are some apps that aren't detected by it.
Also, the ones that are detected by google play but are non-updated (not latest version) have "INSTALLED" status instead of the usual "UPDATE".
What could be the issue here?

You can try using Market Doctor in Titanium Backup to see if it fixes it, otherwise they might not install with the right license for the Play Store in which case you generally have to keep getting them from where you get them, or buy from the market if you want it to update.
Market Doctor will only repair broken links, if it's not licensed to your account you can't do anything to update them with the store other than buying that way.

Ok. Well but why are the other apps detected properly even though I install them by their apk files?
BUMP!
Anyone? How can I use Market Doctor?
Try clear google play data in application manager 1st

You can use market doctor by using Titanium and looking throug it's operations (afaik you need the paid version)
Free apps can be linked to the market, paid apps cannot.

Well, for example Mobile Odin is a paid app in the Market but I can get it free here at XDA as others have mentioned. Before, when I installed it it was linked right away to the Market as "Installed".
Oh by the way, when I search ALL my apps at Google Play Store in the S3 (not in the PC) it detects them as "installed", no problem with that BUT when I go to "My Apps", some aren't listed there and there goes my problem?
Just tried using Market Doctor of Titanium Backup and it found 26 recoverable links. I then went to Google Play Store and downloaded a free app to "refresh" the my apps list but unfortunately this whole process didn't work. So what else can I do then?
Btw, even free apps that I sideloaded aren't showing in the my apps list but are shown as installed when I search them in the store.

Why don't you download your apps directly via play store? And is it a problem to simply reboot your phone? Anyway, as far as I know, this is the way google works, no matter which phone or which android Version you are using, you will have to reboot your phone to download the apps.

Nope, that's not the way Google works, whenever i choose something on my pc it gets automatically downloaded when i connect my phone to the internet, no issues.
Maybe you can check if you got the Play-service running in the background or not. It usually runs directly after a reboot, that's why the downloads come through, but maybe it gets killed by a taskkiller or something like that.

Hi, your paid Google Play Apps are saved on your Google Accout so you can reinstall them everytime you want, of course on a new Phone too if logg in with your Google Account.
If you want to download the APK files to your Computer you have to root your phone and save the apps with titanium backup as far as i know.

Hi, I've never downloaded paid apps but all the apks of apps I downloaded from the play store are in the /system/app/ directory. I'm not sure if you need root access to get there. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Yes you need to be root to able to get aPKs from phone. Android tools, with adb, will helped. Just rembemr, APK you bougth is not yours, its illegal to give them to somebody else or try to reverse engenering them.
JHelp
Not /system/app as this is read only rather /data/app for many apps
Most paid apps go to
/data/app-asec
Unless you are running some real old android versions
And just so you know there is some trickery needed to copy them from here but being its not cool to do so and if distributed its called warez, I'm not going to explain how if that's what youre after

Of course you can, you're rooted. I believe the op was curious where apps go when downloaded from play store and I was just saying that none of them go to /system/anything as this is 'normally' a read only partition. They go straight to /data/app most of the time and paid mostly goes to /data/app-asec
