Every time I download a paid app to my S3 from the google play store on my PC I am unable to receive a refund for them. On the phone the app doesn't appear in the play store app under my apps. When I go into applications manager and select uninstall I get an error saying that the app was not installed from google play store. If I request a refund via my account, my orders, report a problem I am sent an email stating "We've received a refund request from you for a recent Android app purchase on Google Play, however this is a free app". I really need to get this resolved as I am unable to try any paid apps as I cannot get a refund. My phone has the standard UK Samsung ROM but has been rooted.
Why not get apps via phone and Play store ..
I read this as your account may be different or not match .
Though i take it Play downloads the app on your phone .
jje
check you're logged into the correct account, I have a seperate account for my phone and google mail
Account on PC and phone are the same.
I've tried a few app lock programs and none of them prevent the install/uninstall of apps on my device (Nexus 6p; stock ROM; rooted) from a PC via the Google play store in a web browser. I don't want to disable Google play services. Does anyone have experience with this?
Ok, is there an app lock app that automatically locks new applications when they are installed? That would be my next option. So far Applock by Domobile and Smart Applock don't have those options.

China version has built-in Google service in settings.
Just need to activate it.

I tried the Google Installer of the Mi App Store but it did not work.
I encountered this error for most apps: Can't downgrade apps.
That is why I have listed the apps above so you know what to install and you are sure to get the latest versions for each.

I see. I have found a few Google Installer apps that might help but they are all in Chinese.... So your method might be the best

you update to 10.3.8, then go to app store, download google play store directly, and enjoy.
I also try the google installer and got error, but then find out that app store can install google play. Google service is on be default.
I can't sync contact,
Can't see contact sync option in Setting-->sync-->Google..
I installed all app from Google installer 3.0 & Google Contacts Sync (noarch) from apk mirror.

I had the same problem. Try to reinstall it, enable autostart and disable any energy restrictions in App Infos. Restart your phone eventually.

Weird because as far as I remember, when typing Google in the App Store, the only result was Google Installer.

Unfortunately I could not see those apps in Mi Store before installing the Google Framework, Services, Sync and Play Store.
But now I can see a lot more apps (Google Translate, AirBnb, ...)
It is weird I have 2 possible results to display.
anyone has else issue setting up card for instore payment with google pay?
miui 10.3.11
Can't complete set up for contactless payment
To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before.
i have no issue with setting up these cards on another phone though...

I had the problem too and I tried all your steps but none worked. I found a guide on google which actually works. It's here http://en.miui.com/thread-4843639-1-1.html
Basically it says to turn off the MIUI Optimization and get an app from the Play Store called "App Permission Info" to bring back the AOSP style permission UI and set the permission for Contact and ContactSync app from there since MIUI permission doesn't work well on this particular case.
Edit: I just found a way to access AOSP style permission without additional app on MIUI 10. Just search "optimization" in the settings and click on "Battery Optimization". You have to open it from the search list otherwise it won't open the AOSP style app info.
in my quest to install google play i did something wrong.
In notification i get a warning: "Update Google Play services - Google play services wont run unless you update..." but when i press on the notification, google play opens, with Play services and the only option is "Deactivate".
Can anyone point out a solution?
if we already get the google play store, does it mean we don't need to finish downloading the remain apps from google installer? i stuck at google play service. Pls to reply. thanks
