One of my friend have installed a pirated app of swiftkey...now the market have started throwing error for him for swiftkey and it had stopped giving predictions. He came to me asking for help. I told him i can only help in case he purchase it (and sale was also going on) so when he went to his market to buy it shows there already purchased (even after uninstalling from phone). I tried for him by detaching the app from the market from titanium backup but still it shows there. Cleared all cache and data for the app and market and still no avail. Is there any way to fix this or will have to go ahead and buy from another google account and have multiple accounts added in market ?
*(sorry for informal english and any grammatical errors that might have made their way in)*
Thanks much in advance!!
I have never heard of a pirated app showing as 'purchased' in the app store.
Uninstall the app.
Clear app store cache and data. Reboot.
if it shows as purchased, just reinstall. If not, buy it.
It seems like he wants the legit app and not the pirated one. If the app store shows it as purchased, and he/you, whoever, downloads it, it will be the legit app. The app store will not give you a pirated version.
I see no problem here, other than your friend pirates apps.
Titanium Backup has ability to detach apps from Market.

No it doesn't work like that. When I get free apps off amazon the market sometimes shows when they need to be updated. If you try to update them, it gives you an error saying you didn't pay for it. If you uninstall the app, it will still show up as purchased, and you won't be able to purchase it or install it.

No it shows. Normally when u install apps from Amazon or use some apk for testing then those apps too show as purchased in the market. U cant reinstall from the market and neither can purchase them. Market doesnt allow you to repurchase the purchased item(though infact it was never purchased).
I have tried detaching it from market though TiB but still this doesnt get fixed.
Not sure if reflashing the whole rom after a full wipe will help.
Anybody??

Detaching doesnt help Already done that.
You could try buying it from the market website. Apps not installed from the market will not show under My Apps but if you search for the app on your device it will show as installed since it probably detects the app on the device itself.

No luck there too. Web market also shows that the app is purchased. Guess its synced to google market's servers and even reflashing wont work after full wipe.

That is weird that it happens that way. It has not happened to me and I use amazon market and have pushed many apps to my phone. I have not encountered this. Also, android market has never prompted me to update an app that I got from Amazon.
Not saying it does not happen, it seems obvious that it does, it just has not happened to me.
Is the app available on Amazon market? If so, can he just purchase it from there?

Was referring the Amazon apps case as stated by Waddle in the above post. And sadly Amazon not available in our country
I seem to have this issue as well. Trying to move away from amazon market and re-purchase my apps on the android market, however the amazon purchased apps are showing in my android market as purchased and I can't get rid of it.
Any other ideas on how this can be fixed?
sign in with another google id and you can buy it again.But this way has it draw backs too..
I have the same problem with swiftkey... I got it from the GetJar store a few months ago but it was an old version and i uninstalled it. now I cant buy it from the market as it is shown as purchased. and as said by abhisahara nothing seems to help.
cant anyone think of something to do?
Same thing going on here
oddly enough, I had dead space and shadowgun then i saw the 50% off and i uninstalled both from my android and then i went and purchased dead space and it worked but then went to purchase shadowgun and it shows as purchased and i cannot neither download it nor purchase it. It is becoming annoying. Any ideas?
have you tried uninstalling it from within the market app on your Android device?
My forum colleague found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)
5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.
It really works, I've been looking for ages !
After a few tries and uninstalling the app from my phone, I could purchase it. No more update worries !

Thanks man! I've had this problem with Tapatalk and Swiftkey, I've had pirated ones, and now I wanted to buy them.
I installed Greenify from the Google Play store.
From within the app, i tried to purchase the IAP donation package from Amazon.
I get the error message:
"Please install Amazon Appstore first."
Then, it opens the Amazon Appstore app, which is already installed and signed in on my device.
Follow-up:
I uninstalled Greenify from Google Play and installed it from Amazon. Then I purchased the donation IAP from Amazon. Then I updated Greenify with Google Play. This caused Greenify to lose donation status. I thought this would work because of this post: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13ezz2pule4h3nm423pfn0h2wrvib4y204
Unfortunately, nothing I try will make the Google Play Greenify work with the Amazon IAP I purchased.

I am also experiencing the exact same issue (VZW Note 4).
I have had some issues in the past and I could solve them by following these steps:
From the Settings / Applications manager
- clean Greenify data
- clean Amazon Appstore data
- uninstall Greenify
- re-authenticate in Amazzon Appstore
- download Greenefy from Amazon Appstore
- open Greenefy and use the "About" menu
If you see "Thanks for donation", you can try to update Greenify from the Google Play store and hopefully your donation will be carried forward.
If you do not see the "Thanks message" but something like "Purchase donation pkg." then you should not update because the donation is not recognized and sure will not be in the updated version as well...
In this second case you can try to repeat clean data for both Amazon and Greenify a couple of times.
Make sure you have internet connection while you open the "About* menu in Greenify.
Hope this can help.

I swear I tried those steps twice over before posting. But in the interest of being through, I tried them again. This time it worked, so either something changed, or i made a fool of myself twice in a row.
Either way, thank you! <3

Amazon donation package still not fixed. The workaround package posted on google plus doesn't work anymore. When installed the Greenify 2.4.3 Amazon package and run it, it says "Thank you for donation" when upgrade using Google Play store, it says you have to Donate!
Right now I am forced to use a cracked version of 2.5.2, and works fine. I feel bad, but there is nothing can be done since this issue has been for over 4 months and still not fixed!
This is a recurring problem for me Every time I update/switch roms, the donation package goes bananas, but this time nothing seems to be working.
after getting the LP update for my Z2, I did a clean stock flash, with full device wipe (including internal storage), all of my other apps work fine except for Titanium Backup and Greenify, after I install the pro key and I get the "thank you for your donation", I open the app and get a message about being unable to connect to google and to recheck my internet connection.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and the key, did a full wipe reinstall of stock rom and many others (AOSP/CM) but always getting the same results, so I'm not sure what else I can try to get this to work, I've reported this on the app/key pages on the store but still no response.
I've also tried the solutions mentioned here and the Amazon fix from here, but neither worked, once I update to the latest greenify version from the store the donation key stops working.
I hope the dev can help on this issue, as it gets really annoying after a while.
Make sure you're using the same account which you bought it
First sorry for the late reply.
Second, how would I be able to download the donation key if I wasn't using the same account in the first place ? I appreciate the attempt to help, but this is not device related, not a local issue since it persists over many flashes of different roms.
When I open the app and go to the Experimental features, I get a "can't connect/error 291" in orange at the bottom, I've tried everything but the app either doesn't see my wifi or it doesn't want to see it, this seems to be an issue shared by greenify and titanium (at least for me, although both app pages are full of the same complaints from other people).
The fact that I can easily find a "working" full version online, while my own paid app won't work properly says a lot of stuff, at least IMHO.
well, I've had it with the app, I've COMPLETELY wiped my device, and Only installed this app with xposed and donation key, but I keep getting "network error 291, please check your connection", even though I'm connected and installing other working paid apps from the store, so this obviously an app issue.
I really liked the app, but the response from the dev team is non-existent (3 weeks and not even a response from the dev) , so I'm gonna try to dispute my purchase with google, no use having the purchase if I can't use the app.
I can totally understand this attitude if the app was free, but tbh when money is paid service should be provided, or at least a level of courtesy.
I hope the dev will move to a different payment confirmation method, because this one is outdated and is causing issues for the apps using it (see titanium too).

May be the Play Store is acting up. Try rolling back to a previous version. Wipe data and cache of Play Store and then try to enable the Experimental features of Greenify. Check the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566770
not likely, since I've tried with the stock store in the Sony latest rom, then updated to the latest store/services available, but still the same result.
other purchased apps I have work normally, : Lux, cfLumen, listen audiobook and others, the only ones that are not working are greenify and titanium, which use "pro key" apps.
Recent beta versions fixed some donation package related issues. Have you tried the latest 2.6.2 beta 7?
Hi!
I want to purchase the Greenify license. I have no GAPPS and I don't want to install them. For example, I purchased the licenses XPrivacy and IM+ from their authors through PayPal. Can i purchase the license for Greenify through PayPal, Visa or WebMoney(WMZ)?
a same question here, greenify is the most important app for me, without this, my HTC One E8 lasts less then 1 day with normal usage.
I am a Chinese user, I don't want GAPPS, but I want to buy greenify, what shall I do?

You must have some Android won't function without some, like playstore manager and others. I've the bare minimum myself but as they have moved parts of the OS into the app store it means that you need some Gapps to function. They do this so they can keep the code secret if it's *an app *. So much for being an open OS.
I hope that this happens, I'm about to remove Gapps from my phone and I've purchased the donation package.
It hurts to say this, but I probably have to pirate new Greenify releases after after removing propriety Google software from my phone.
greenify add on after factory reset
I had to factory reset due to my own ineptitude with the homescreen mixup I created (
When getting the greenify app back I had to pay AGAIN for the add-ons I previously bought.
Obviously there is no limits of my newcomer ineptitude.

If you had logged in to Play Store with the same account through which you purchased earlier, it would have recognised your earlier purchase and you need not have paid again.

Amazon Appstore's apps are updated very rarely, I doubt that Greenify has the latest version either. I've removed the application from my phone entirely.

In theory atleast, you can update the Amazon downloaded/purchased Greenify on Play Store. Some people have reported issues with this process and the Dev has provided a solution though that doesn't seem to work for all.

If you are talking about the OP, then he wants to donate and get the donate version. So without Play Store, he can not do it, unless by subterfuge.
I don't see greenify app in amazon appstore. I don't think it is there anymore... what was the matter?

It was removed because the dev had problems with IAPs on Amazon Appstore. If you have downloaded it before, you can still do so.

Oh I haven't purchased it yet. Since I have some amazon appstore coins, I wanted to pay there rather than paying again in google play... Appreciate your reply!
I have purchased the donation package. As expected, after removing Gapps from my phone the paid features don't work anymore. I had to obtain a working version from unofficial sources.
I didn't see a mention anywhere on the store page that Greenify requires proprietary Google services to run, I should be entitled for a refund.
DRM only hurts the paying customers, pirates use the superior, non-Google dependant Greenify.

You have some nerve in posting this. Not only you knew that Greenify donate features will not work if Gapps are removed, you went ahead and obtained "a working version from unofficial sources".
So if Greenify is now working for you, why should the donation be returned?
And you complain that Play Store nowhere states that donation features won't work without Gapps as if you didn't know.
Hypocrisy!
Still, the question remains: How to use the "full version" without GApps installed? I still have a Google account and thus could "pay" via it. But it makes no sense for me if I cannot use it.
That "Google Glue" applied by "vending.CHECK_LICENSE" is a real show-stopper. I'm willing to pay/donate, and I've did so with several other apps that came without this glue (and thus working perfect on my "degooglified" devices). I wish I could say the same about Greenify. The free version is nice – but not half as useful as the full version

Agreed. But I think that it won't work without Google Play Store unless the Dev finds a way around it. And I also think that the 'Google Glue' was applied by Google and not by the Dev.

There are plenty of ways around it (one is to simply remove the license check altogether, which is what "hackers" do or which could possibly be done using Lucky Patcher – but I don't want to use a hacked version nor the patcher, the latter is too tempting I've bought several "paid apps" that come completely without). And as it wasn't Google who added that piece of code to the app, I have to disagree: there are indeed things not to blame on Google. If a dev decides to use Google licence check (which is performed by the Google Play Store app, hence 'vending.CHECK_LICENSE') (s)he must be aware that the app providing that is required on the device it should run on – and the own app cannot run if not.
Here check this out this may probably help you.

Hi
I used Greenify without problems in my previous cellphone but I just got a new Redmi2 and I am running CM13. Greenify is one of my favorite and most important apps so I would like to make it work again. I live in China so I need a Vpn service to verify my donation package (which was ok in the past).
I downloaded both packages from Google Play, installed and get the message to open the experimental features, but when I try to enable them I get the message that it requires donation package. If I clic on Activate I choose my account but still can't select the special features. If I open the Play store again the Donation package appears there installed. In the information dialogo inside Greenify I can see the message saying "Thanks for your donation".
I have checked the previous posts about people having problems verifying their donation package so I have tried deleting data from Play and G services, clear dalvik cache, delete the dalvik files manually, deleting my G account and log in again... But so far nothing. I don't have Lucky Patcher either and the version of Greenify is the 2.8.1
Sorry for the confusion. The "Activate" button is not meant for donation package from Google Play. It's built for Amazon edition migration.
If you have ever clicked that button. You may need to clear the data of Greenify to be able to return to the normal Google Play verification.
This will be fixed in the next version.
Hi oasisfeng. Thanks for your help but still not working. I deleted data in Greenify, uninstalled Donation package. Opened Greenify, from there opened GPlay to download donation package. Downloaded, installed, opened, got the message "thanks for your donation" but I still get the message that my donation can't be verified (291). :crying:
Maybe is something related with being in China? Most of the time my internet has no access to Google Services. But in my previous phone (in the same situation), Greenify was working fine.

Every time Greenify is opened, it will check the status of the donation package. So unless Play Store is accessible at those times, it will not work.

That's not true any more since version 2.9. The verification result will be cached.

I have the same problem here...
I already purchased the donation package...
And i hv 2 devices...in my phone that run 4.0.4 it works flawlessly...and here on my phone that run 5.1.1 it show that the donation package is not verified...
Already tried to clear cache,data,etc but it still won't work...any suggestion???
Cz i need greenify...it's like the main part of my phone now...
Hi, Today I purchased the donation package (with direct billing carrier method). Install and active ok with my 2 devices.
But after some setting in 2nd devices (main activities is switch between non-root mode and root mede since app not detect it right), the donation pack gone of all devices and my purchase in Play Store order history shown as Canceled now. I don't know why? I surely never have press the refund button.
I don't know if my carrier can give my money back, too.
UPDATE: I've got my money back. It's ok.
same problem,i cant use it for a long time.Even i reinstall it still can not use.Can get my money back?
I'm not in China, and this just happened to me. Suddenly it says it can't verify it from Google. I uninstalled, cleared all data, reinstalled, with no difference. Program shows it's activated in the menus, but won't work. I did press the activate button before when this problem happened, but I already cleared data and such, and still no fix! Google shows it as bought
Edit: Seems something was messing with the license verification. Figures. Turned it off and it.
