Just a quick rant/annoyance.
My nexus s just got an "update" for the calender app (which Google has made available in the play store now for non-nexus devices).
So I thought I'll install it and "update it" on my infinity as well.
But instead of updating the calender app, I relies that it installed like new app.
It seems Asus has "replaced" the calendar app, even though it looks the same as original Google app (only difference I see is that the widget has a different color and icon)
I'm using the new calender app from google and now disabled the one that came with the infinity, as the Google one will probably get updates (and I'm a little ocd about using the original app)
Just add the bloatware (which I have disabled each one, except Polaris)
I know this a small thing, and no one will notice it (I'm prob the only that did) but it just seems weird that Asus would do this, I don't see the point (now I have 2 calaneder apps that are pretty much the same)

I'm not sure I see the "problem"... If you want to use the Play Store Google Calendar app, just disable the version provided by Asus. I've done exactly that and and it seems to work fine...

I disabled the ASUS-TW version of calendar last night when I realised I had 2 iterations on my tablet, it started causing problems with my gmail account, couldn't access Play Store, saying that I needed to verify my Gmail Account. I defrosted it and back to normal. I guess as a built-in ap some people may see problems if it's disabled.
It's not Asus, the same thing happens when I install the calendar on my Galaxy Nexus...

I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error
Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..
what rom are you using buddy?
I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.
Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.
I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution
phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24058132
I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol
Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?
yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side
I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.
Google Play error
Yep....i got same problem here in UK. I wondered if it was anything to do with the ROM im using? CM9 Kang galaxy Nexus. When i try to download from my phone i get error processing purchase.

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.
I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

XWLP2 4.0.3 stock for sgs2.. Web site is blank too so not rom related I think.

I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.
I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom
Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.
Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?
Hey guys..I never had any problem with installing apps previously. Now i get "Error processing purchase" (even on free apps) every time. I have to keep going to settings/apps/playstore and uninstall updates to get it to work. its extremely annoying. Im running the latest hydro. Any ideas how i can fix this?.
I had this problem too. What worked for me was: I went into settings and under accounts, removed my Google account. Then signed back in (same account) and rebooted. Hope that works for ya.

Still not working. I can't uninstall updates every time I want to browse the store. Do you think this is a problem with the rom or what? Is there a way to block the "updates" from the market app itself that I have to keep removing? Could it have to do with my titanium restore?

I had the same issue, might be rom related im not sure because i created another Google account witch downloaded apps just fine, but when i tried going back to my original Google account it wouldn't let me download some apps it gave me this error. I toyed around with; it downloaded different roms and so on, but then came back to the ROM i was in and the issue had been fixed.
by any chance where you running seanz Hydro-Ponic? try downloading hes latest update.

In case you haven't heard, there are new versions of the Google Play Store and Gmail available (unofficially):
- GMail (http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...ed-gmail-4-2-apk-with-pinch-to-zoom-and-more/)
- New features include pinch-to-zoom (finally!) and the ability to "swipe" emails from the conversation list to delete or archive them.
- Google Play (http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...bility-to-remove-apps-from-the-all-apps-list/)
- New features include the ability to remove apps from your "All" apps list! This was *really* needed!
I have installed both apps on my TF700 and I can confirm that they seem to work fine - no issues to report yet.
EDIT: Also, if you use an external mouse, the scroll wheel actually works properly in Gmail now! That had been driving me *crazy* for a LONG time!

Great find, the ability to delete apps from the "all" list is certainly welcome.
Does anyone know how to sort the lists?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Just to clarify this as i am not 100% sure about it...should these two apps be auto-updated (when they are) or should they be pushed by Asus as an OTA or something like that?
I have installed the Play Store on my phone and works OK, but if it is going to be auto-updated I don't see a reason why not to wait (personally of course).
Thx
Yes, they will eventually be auto-updated. This is just for us impatient types!

Have they added the ability to disable "conversation" mode in Gmail? That's my biggest beef with this.
Even more evidence of the next Nexus and OS iteration being released this month - mass stock app updating (beyond just bugfixes or solving FCs). I would assume that the apps will auto-update whenever the LG Nexus comes out.
updated to .18 after it came out, and 3 days later Google search stopped working completely. Anyone else?

Since JB all Google Search does is make me get Google Now, which I do not want to. Can't even search on the device itself anymore, just goes straight to Google Now....
That is how GNow works - but once GNow runs it searches local and live - I use it on my phone to search for contacts and apps regularly.
However, on my Infinity, it FCs every time I try to use it.

Hello all,
I bought a prepaid credit card just so that I could get overskreen from the play store. I tried searching for it in the play store and it did not come up, so i googled it and it showed up, however, much to my demise, i was unable to purchase the app. I got an error "the item you have attempted to purchase could not be found". In the app description the developer stated that jelly bean support is a work in pogress, has anyone else had issues with downloading overskreen, it appears that some xda members were able to install it. I have never gotten this error before, is this a common error or have i disabled one too many apps lol. If anyone has found a way to get overskreen could you point me to where you found it, this app is pretty essential for multitassking and would allow all users of this tablet to be much more productive. I would love to be able to open a pdf and write notes in google drive via overskreen, now that would be bad ass.
Hope my fellows are having a dope holiday season
The browser?
"ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
This item is not compatible with your device."
So it won't show up in the play store on the tablet, and buying it can only be done for a device it supports.

Other members have downloaded it, there is a thread on floating apps and apparently it was installable (not sure if they got it thru the play store), I am thinking it might not be available for anyone on jelly bean, tf700 owners who have the app posted about it before the jelly bean update, I have emailed the developer to see what they have to say, thx for checking it out tho.

It also lists as incompatible for my SGS3, so I suspect they just deleted all JB devices from the list. I've yet to update that to JB, so it's not because it sees the OS version.
Those that are still able to install it do so by sideloading. (download to another device and copy the .apk to the incompatible device).
The author of Overskreen is having issues w/Jelly Bean devices, which is why it's not available on the Play Store for Jelly Bean devices.
However, there is a free alternative called "Floating Browser Flux" in the Play Store that is compatible with Jelly Bean. In my opinion, it's not quite as good as Overskreen, but it does work pretty well...

Cool I was thinking of doing that but I do not have any other android devices, looks like i am going to have to commandeer my sisters phone lol
I have tried floating browser flux and it worked alright, however, typing was really annoying and it wouldnt play youtube videos if I was using another app at the same time.
the overskreen browser works great on my infinity you just have to sideload it just google it and download the apk
I was gonna get the same app I tried it with my ics tab and it worked great, I'll try to side load it here too and see if it works just the same.
