In the Play Store is there no way to sort apps by "relevancy"? Wouldnt this come in handy in situations? Is there anyone else that is bothered by this? Not upset, but more so frustrated when im looking for a launcher and get 60+ themes in between different launchers.

So, I did the market fix found in the development section (clearing framework and market data). The market finds almost all apps (launcher pro, go launcher, dolphin, etc). However, it will not find any of those tegra based games like Samurai Vengeance. I did download that game, I was able to search for it BEFORE I did the fix. However, now I can't update it or anything. Some other things I am unable to find in the market are things like Worms by EA, etc. Does anybody know what is going on, or this just how it is with our tab?
Between the market and hunting apks on the net I can find everything. The market has gotten better since day one and will get better over time so a little patients and a lot of net searches pays off. Didn't even know there was a worms for android... the hunt is on!
I don't know what the heck is going on, but all the market enabler apps just disappeared from the now called google play store. Can any of you guys see them? Is google going to ban it?
The apps certainly have disappeared. Anybody know what's going on?
I bought the nexus 6 today and hate the google bloatware more than any other bloatware. When Samsung or Sony or insertcompanyhere has bloatware on their phones it makes people angry. Why do these companies continue to pump resources into developing **** no one wants to use or deal with? I don't know, and I don't believe they know either. No one makes me as angry as google in this game though, because I can't shake the feeling that they should just know better. Almost all of googles preinstalled apps can not be removed. Why? Every other app requires me to have interest, download it, use it, and then uninstall it when I lose interest. Why does google think their apps are an exception, so much so that they design android software to break if you try to remove their garbage? Can someone, anyone, link me a resource that can show me how to get rid of every google app from my phone? I don't want it disabled, I want it obliterated from my cell phone. Google +, Google Maps, Google Hangouts, Google everything but the market. Can this be done? If the baby has to be thrown out with the bathwater, what rom will give me stock android with google play ONLY, and how do I install it. And can anyone explain to me why google is so scared of their apps not being used that they consistently shove it down the throats of humanity with such violent, unrelenting force? Why can they not have all of their apps that lots of people use available for download on the market, and sell the nexus 6 with nothing but the market, giving everyone the OPTION to download their applications, and the OPTION to uninstall it when they are done, or not install it to begin with? I pray for that day to come!

Let me see. Your using a Google OS on a Google device. All you need is root to remove these apps. If you search will find a project that is android without Google, but mind you that without Google's services you will lose alot of the abilities of the OS
That's a lot of apps in the title...lol
Well, anyways, I'm a Game of War player, and found that the IAP through Amazon are cheaper and have the tendency to screw up letting you get free packs, lol. Only problem though, is I don't get game notifications from that version. Wondering if this was something to do with it coming from the Amazon store, a bad version of the game...or something else that I am missing.
Enabled all notifications in Amazon, checked app info for the game, notifications are enabled there. All in game preferences for notifications are turned on...not sure what I'm missing. Figured if there was anybody out there that would know a way, they would be here, lol
I'm having this problem ever since purchasing this phone, and it's really annoying. Sometimes I find out some games or apps I purchased from Google Play appear with the price tag, like if I never purchased them before. This happens also with subscriptions, I think is something about Xiaomi and Google maybe? The only solution I have found is clearing data/cache from Google services, framework and Google Play, then removing my Google account, restart the device and the sign in again with my account in Google. But doing this like every two weeks is frustrating sometimes it happen more often and I don't know what to do. I have the global version (MI) installed can someone please help? Does anyone have this issue as well? Thanks.
I got tired of the problems with Playstore paid apps and avoid them whenever possible and buy to app directly from the developer* if possible.
It's to the point now that I package and firewall block Playstore. Once a paid app is activated many times this and firewall blocking the app stops annoying "Do you wish to upgrade" etc bs.
Lol, I have Samsung Androids and similar issues. It's more like Playwhore...
*Google's pay protection is a sick joke. Just do a charge back on the card if you must. Most developers though provide good support. I haven't had issues outside of Playstore.
$5 is chump change but the time wasted trying to bring Playstore in line is far more costly!!!
Hmm, I have made purchases while being on MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 12.5 (EU) (debloated) . I had no issues with single/subscription purchases.
Are you sure you did not end up disabling some necessary background service from Google or Xiaomi?
Maybe a hard reset or switching to a debloated version of MIUI might help but this sounds more like a particular service not functioning properly.
