I just put an insurance claim on my phone and got a new one, a Nexus S 4G by sprint.
Previously, I had CM7 with Google Apps.. I remember after I installed the custom recovery and CM7 and GApps last time, it gave me an option upon the first boot to install a bunch of google apps as well as the integrated facebook app..
Now, I got the new phone, went through the same process, and I can't find any of these apps.. When I install the Google Apps thing, it just takes me to a market search.. and I can't find the facebook one anymore.
I use that program to sync my contacts and I don't know what to do.
I've search all over the over the forums and all over the internet and I can't find anything. Can someone help me?

facebook was never a google app. nevertheless it should be in the market. search google for a facebook apk.
Just do a regular market search for Facebook. Its in there. I have to download everytime I install a new rom.

So I reflashed my phone + full wipe. I synced my phone with my Google accounts, HTC sense, and Facebook. While it was syncing, it started to auto download the apps I had before.
I was wondering how it did that? Because other times I tried it, that never hhappened. Was it from something else? It made it so much easier for me to get my apps back I had before. I don't like searching.
So can anyone confirm what backed up my apps??
Thanks!

When you signed up with the google account, it ask you if you want your phone backed up by google. All you had to do was not uncheck the check box to agree.
FYI, if you flash ROM's a lot it doesn't always restore your apps, so use screenshot to take a picture and store them prior to flashing to remember what you had so your not searching in the future.
Got my Sensation today and found that I couldn't complete a search or even directly enter a web address without first signing on with a Google Account. What's up with that?
I have android 2.2 on another device and the search and web browser don't require a Google Account. Must Google record everything I do from my phone's browser? Is this a T-Mobile issue, a HTC issue or an Andorid issue?
Or do I just need to install another web browser app?

can't download apps from the market without a google account... it is a google phone after all. just sign up for one with a fake name or something its free
Right. I already have 3 Google Accounts. This is my first Android phone, but not my first Android device. Of course I understand I must "sign-in" when using the Market. One account was used for the Market, another for my G-Mail and a third one was tied to Youtube. I never had to use any of them for the web browser. I just wondered what started that. The other device is a WiFi tablet (not a phone) so I wonder if this is a phone thing. Do all Android Phones work this way?

it doesn't ask you to sign in for the browser it asks if you want to save your search results to your gmail acct. it normally does this the first time you search for something on a new device. i don't think its a big deal so they aren't tracking you lol
Brought this phone off ebay and the camera didnt work, told to do an upgrade from this site with step by step instructions. Done this and now Ive lost most of my apps, market app included as well as gmail etc etc.
Now i cannot sync my emails to gmail and I cannot download any apps to the phone so I cnt even redownload MArket app or GMAIL.
Tried going through the internet on phone to download apps and it just says page cannot be found
Help
i thought u didnt take backup before upgrading the software.. go to market.android.com and login to see ur apps must be present there..
It sounds Like you didn't flash google apps, normally called gapps.zip
Some don't include google applications eg: maps, play store or talk.
Try looking for a link in the tread you downloaded from, here you should be able to find gapps.zip

So this is kinda random, but I'm sure others have run into it.
My wife and I both have Android phones (Gnex) with separate Google accounts, obviously. I have purchased apps on my account that I want to install on her phone, so I log my account into her phone and access the Play Store to install them. All is fine and dandy--works well. But then with my account on her phone, she gets my Google Talk IMs all the time. I have the account set to sync nothing. And I open Talk and manually sign out, but it keeps signing me in automatically. Is there anything to do about this? I want to basically block the account but still have access to it (I know it's crazy talk). lol. Any thoughts or imput? Thanks!
Well...it's possible to freeze google talk,if you're rooted...
But somehow I think play and talk are synced somehow ..freezing talk may create issues with talk
:thumbup:
There is a tutorial for that on xda
Buying an app from the Play Store only entitles the particular user to use that app. From Google's point of view, you cannot use apps purchased from one account on another account.
Having said that, you can use Titanium Backup to create a backup of apps on your phone & then restore those apps on your wife's mobile. However, this would require you to be rooted.

If your wife doesn't use talk, then this above is a good idea.
I've always uninstalled talk through TitaniumBackup perfectly fine so freezing should not create any issues

My wife uses Talk for her account, so I don't want to disable it entirely. And we're rooted, yes. I install the apks most of the time, but since I own them, I was trying to do the legit thing. =)

I just set my Mother-in-law up with a new Nexus 5 updated to Lollipop. She had an existing gmail account that we used to sign in at the phone setup. However, when opening the Play Store, I notice that none of the preinstalled apps (Gmail, Calendar, etc) show up in My Apps. However, searching for these apps in the Play Store show they're installed and give the option to Update them. Do I really need to do this one by one for each app for an account that has never used Android? After updating an app, then it shows up in my apps, but it seems like a giant waste of time to have to sync them with my account.
That really doesn't seem right.. I'd try a simple factory reset first and see if it works then.
Actually confirmed this with another account too (never had signed into Android before). Guess maybe the easier thing to do might be do it through the web link to Play store.
