So I need serious help/explanation to this issue I have come across. I had created a new Google account due to my old one being hacked into.
What I realized is that all my apps would be gone if I removed my old email from the phone. So realizing that I am rooted with titanium backup, I did a backup of all my apps on TB....reset my phone to factory settings...put my new Google account in and ran a restore of all my apps that were associated with my old Google account. Worked like a charm, until it came to my purchased apps.
Whenever I have an update for a purchased app I get the 403 error code. So I tried to uninstall the app and see if it would make me re-buy it under my new Google account...nope. It says "purchased" and when I hit install I get the same 403 error code.
Now I know the obvious way around this is to keep my old Google account on the phone but I really don't want to do that. Is there a way I can somehow unlink the purchased apps so I can just rebuy them?
Need your help and thanks in advance!

Hi. I've Just installed a fresh CM9 and synced the phone to my google account. Once it synced it started downloading apps I had previously downloaded which are listed in my Google play account (including a lot of crappy apps listed that I previously messed around with). Is it possible to remove apps from my Google play account? Because I don't want certain apps automatically installed. Cant find an option on the Google play site...
Maybe you can rewrite your post, cause I have no idea what you want.
You installed CM9 and all your apps etc. are gone? And you are missing the market app?
For now I don't think there is any way of doing this.
Looky here...
yeah i was talking gibberish, updated now

hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.

Make sure you are syncing and signing in with your gmail account that you purchased the apps on. Do you have more than one gmail account?
Hi experts!
I used to have two Google accounts, one private and one for work. Unfortunately, I have been fired a month ago and I have no more access to the latter. I believe it is still active but they changed the password and I just can't login.
The problem is that all the apps registered in my Google Play under this account are not available for uninstall or update. Each time I try, I get the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account."
The apps work well on the Android phone but I can't manage them. Moreover, I can't reinstall apps that I uninstalled using the disabled account. All the apps that have been installed with my private account are managed just fine.
I am using a Samsung S2 (GT-I9100) with Android 2.3.3. Google Play Store v 3.7.15.
Any clue how I can get the control back on those apps?
Thanks in advance!

This might be a dumb suggestion but if you know the username but not password then why not try the "forgot password" system most sites have.
Never needed to with play but they must on the website version have a way to recover or reset password.
Although if work paid for those apps they could in theory seek compensation if you try re accessing them.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's not dumb but since my former work Gmail account is managed by the administrator, it would be too easy if I could just reset the password myself. Anyway, my intention is not to hack the account but rather get back access to my apps.
BTW, these are not work related apps, just that when I installed them from the phone somehow, Android chose that account by default (I don't even know how). I am now stuck with no possibility to manage them.
I wonder if by deleting this account on the phone, the apps will stay installed or will be uninstalled as well.

my suggestions does not belong to hacking and software and so on but in your situation i would think about which apps u installed/owned by the corporation id on google play
cus if there are any apps wich needed any additional privat information or even have to deal wich such privacy things u might go to the administrator and say him well after the laws in this state ure not allowed to keep this information and he might will give u acces again.
its like getting a notebook by from your work and getting some private stuff on it like photos from your children..afterwards u loose ure job and they retake the notebook.
they have to give u the possibility to change or delete this information.
thats what i would do
why can't you download those same apps on your device with your private gmail account? just delete your corporate acct after you register your private acct. i' ve done multiple accts so many times.

I was just wondering if the apps will be uninstalled automatically if I delete the corporate account or if they will be stuck with the then unexisting account (on my device) with no possibility to update or uninstall them.
Any clue?
Hi, hoping there's some kind of solution for this...
Basically, I have an old gmail address that I want to get rid of(or stop using at least) and make a new one, because it's full of so much crap. However, I have many purchased apps from the Play Store, and was wondering if there is any way of linking that data to a new gmail address? Or does the Google Market even have anything to do with the gmail address you use? Any help is appreciated.
Gmail Id u use to download apps from play store has those apps backed up. Meaning, if u get a new phone or factory reset the phone, once u sign in with that Gmail account, all those apps will automatically start to download (even the ones u have paid for) , so u don't have to scratch the head and think which are all the apps u had on d phone!

Hi guys,
Using the root method on http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605/ I rooted the device, (I had the none OTA version of the stock software before the root!
Everything works fine got SU, etc but I cannot purchase any apps on the Play store. Free ones download fine but paid I get the following error.
Version of play store 3.10.10
"there was a problem communicating with Google servers Couldn't sign in" Only on paid apps. Email sync everything works fine.
I tried clearing the cache,factory reset twice, Nothing works? Any idea's? It's pissing me off. Removed account reinstalled, cleared cache for play store servers, uninstalled to original factory version etc.
Update. I tried using another email address and it worked fine, So why is my primary email blocked out? how can I fix this?
Update: So Apparently If anything on your primary email account is changed password etc, it also has the secondary effect of freezing your google wallet account. So yeah problem solved thread can go away now!
So you reset your password?

I had that problem. Just sign out and back in to your Google account. That worked for me.
