Paid apps: Not updating?

I have purchased a few apps from the market. Like the free apps, my downloads will list available updates. After selecting to update, the apps go to 'Starting download...'
Of the 3 paid apps that have updates available, all of them have been sitting at 'Starting download...' all day today. All the free apps that had updates updated without any problems. I tried canceling and restarting the update, but still just hanging there.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have JF 1.43 RC33 with apps on sdcard

Hi,
I experienced this too.
I think it's a google bug.
Email the app develpoer and tell him you can't download the updates for his app.
He may refund your money or send you the update since you already paid for the app.

Don't email the developers they don't have control over the market. Problems must got through T-Mo/Google

I just emailed developer and he sent me a copy of the new download, says there is a bug in the market right now.

For anyone else.

Ok good I thought I was the only one or that they're watching apps that require root access to ID folks with root'd phones (I downloaded Advanced Taskman).

this only worked for me once, but i uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked for me. i think it was for photoslide, but all the others have not worked by doing this.

"This item cannot be installed in your country." error in the Market

Hi,
I've started getting an error over the last couple of days where I am unable to download anything from the market due to the error message "This item cannot be installed in your country."
I'm in the UK, have a completey unmodified Transformer running 3.1. I also have a HTC Desire which has no problems getting anything from the market, its just my Transformer which has this issue.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I fixed it by clearing my location data using this guide:

Ah sweet, cheers for the link. I started having probs today!
All I needed to do was 1-3, then re-added my login for gmail and it's all working again. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't find Auto Trader in the app, and then on the web market it said it couldn't be installed in my devices country...!
WOOHOO!! =D

Just a quick question regarding the android market region dependencies, does it check your region by looking at the ip?
I'm in Hong Kong atm, and some of the apps I cannot download (like google earth for example :\) due to the app being not available in the country. However I'll be going back to the UK in 2 months time so I'm wondering if the apps will become available when I get back to UK?
Cheers in advance

hi,
if you have root access, try MarketEnabler from Android Market.
Maybe this app help you..

Cheers for the information, though I'm not too bothered about not getting the apps at the moment, I just want to know if the apps will be available for when I get back to the UK.
Already searched the forums and google but can't find anything on it :\ but I appreciate the response!

[Q] Facebook Messenger is Missing from Android Market (Or is it?)

When I search "Facebook Messenger", I can't find it in the Market, whether I am doing this from my phone or desktop.
However I was able to locate it last time by first searching for "Facebook for Android", then tapped on "View more applications" from my phone, or "More from developr" from my desktop. But this trick doesn't work anymore. At this moment, the only way I could find its market's path is through long-pressing it from within APP2SD and click "View on Market" from the popup menu. Strange enough, it's actually available if you click the direct link someone posted in the forum https://market.android.com/details?id=com.facebook.orca
I'm not sure if it's just me, or others also encounter the same situation as I did.

It's not available outside the US on Android Market, for now.

But I was able to download it from the Market a few weeks ago, and have been able to receive notification for update all the while. Only recently when I recommended it to a friend did I realize that it is missing from the market.

[APP] Alarmpad : how to get it ?

Hi,
Are you guys able to access this application on google play store ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpadpro
Whether I try with proxies or my own IP (Belgium), I always end up with a message from Google saying that the app is not available in my country.
I know that the developer stopped this project last year, but I am surprised not to be able to get it anywhere.
I also tried to download the apk for version 1.9 from various websites (free or pro version), and Windows Defender always reject the file stating that it's infected by a Trojan, so I start to wonder if this is a false positive or if Google detected the same and prevents the app from being accessible on the store or so ?
It's the first time that I am facing this situation, and I am very surprised and frustrated not to be able to buy this app which looks fantastic.
Let me know if you are facing the same problem or if you have a working APK backup
Thanks !

For those who are in the same situation and who may be looking for AlarmPad FREE, here is the APK of version 1.9.3 (I believe it's the last).
I am still looking for a way to buy the PRO version, and for now the only solution seems to be in the USA :/

I'm in the USA, and can't find this app in play store.

Thank you for the information Henry, then I have no clue where this app is available nowadays (it looks like it was widely available in the past).
Note that it appears that my previous apk downloads which were detected by Windows Defender as trojan were false positive since the same file does not trigger the warning anymore.
Too bad I can't simply by the pro version

Thanks for the links Stefano
Unfortunately even when installing the pro version from your post with the mindme pro key, it does not detect it as "PRO" (features are restricted as in FREE version).
I have the same behavior with this PRO apk which is the latest version I found.
I tried to contact the developer to know why his app is not available from the PlayStore anymore, but I did not received any answer so far :/

Well it seems you have to find a new app ... :/

I'm in the UK (used to live in the USA) and I couldn't visit the alarmpro page, but I could visit here and download the app to register it.

Old thread but I have the pro version. Don't know how the powers-that-be would feel about me sharing the apk. The developer has stopped providing support for this app and the backup service (which is why I bought it) doesn't work anymore.

Hello ParrotSquawk,
Thank you very much for the offer Actually I posted the pro apk here some time ago thinking it would not be a problem since there was no way to buy it anymore and development stopped as well, but the moderators didn't appreciate that...
For info even with the pro apk you cannot access the pro features, it somehow checks on google play if you bought it and locks it to free version.
I gave up on alarmpad for that reason. I wanted to use it because of its tasker integration, but ended up using ClockTask plugin. Not exactly the same thing but also very well integrated with tasker.
Cheers !

I don't know how much help this is, I was worried that I would need to find an alternative when i upgraded my 3½ year old S7 Edge to my Note 10 +.
Thankfully, despite being no longer available, it transferred over through SmartSwitch and is working fine except for the sign in/backup feature.
That said, does anyone else know of any other app that works like AlarmPad? It is a must for me as I'm on shift work and EVERY duty is different.

Old thread..but...
My biggest issue with this app currently is that the data can't be backed up anymore. If I reset my phone I have to create all the alarms and hashtags again. (My phone does not have root available).
If someone could recode it to backup and restore using an SD card ... That would be great.
