To make a long story short, my first skyrocket's sleep/wake button broke and so I called AT&T and it was still under warranty. They sent me a replacement skyrocket and now I'm just trying to restore my play store apps on the new skyrocket as I had my first skyrocket back up all my apps to my Google Account.
The problem is that on the Play Store, my first and second skyrocket are showing up as completely different devices:
Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 (first skyrocket)
AT&T Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 (replacement skyrocket)
My first skyrocket did have a custom ROM on it when the button broke and the replacement skyrocket is still on stock, so is that the reason why the Play Store recognizes them as separate devices?
Will I have to install a custom ROM on the replacement skyrocket for them to be recognized as the same device again?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Your Google account will govern. If it's the same account it doesn't make a difference if they're different devices. Are you logging in on the same Google account?

Yes, I'm logging on the same Google account. The last time I restored my apps from Play Store, as soon as I logged into my Google account on my skyrocket, the download list was automatically populated with apps that were previously installed on my phone.
I'm wondering why it won't do the same now?

I'd just reinstall the apps and not worry why it's not restoring. The last back up Google did might not have had all the apps you thought it should.

It's finicky, and it doesn't matter. Just download all your apps again

It won't be recognized as the same device because it isn't . You can go in your Google account and hide your old one so it won't come up as an option though.
Also you can see a history of installed apps, just use that from a pc and start installing away.
I didn't choose the Droid life, The Droid life choose me..
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks a bunch. If I still can't get my apps to restore I'll manually do it.
But I wonder if this is because my first skyrocket was on superlite cm10 jb when it broke and now this skyrocket is on stock ics. Any possibility that flashing the new skyrocket to that same custom ROM (which I plan to do later) make it recognize it as the same device and allow me to restore? Just throwing this possibility out there.
No. Play store uses your imei I do beleave.

No, the device id is unique and independent from the rom.

Google JUST released it a few minutes ago, it's in the market now, update your Maps.
To go 3D mode, use two fingers and swipe down. It'll "tilt" the map. If you're in an area that has the 3D vector maps, you'll see it (try San Francisco).
You can also then use two fingers and rotate the map.

Agreed. 2.3 shoulda come with the new market. I tried to install the .apk but I can't for some reason as I don't have the option. I also noticed that in 2.3 with the old market, Downloads (third tab) has been replaced with T-Mobile's picks. Yuck.

Then it must be a uniform standard, maybe for Sprint users it'll change to Sprint & for AT&T users it'll change to AT&T..
Luckily for me I've been using the phone since morning and it's on downloads only.

Mine says t-mobile as well.
I had AT&T SIM in when I got my phone, and it said Downloads and had WIFI Tether (root app) available for download.
After I signed up for T-Mobile and used that SIM, the tab turned into T-Mobile, and no WIFI Tether in the market (there's another thread listing some apps missing from T-Mobile market)
It's all very odd. Ever since I had my N1, the third tab was ALWAYS Downloads. Then, I manually upgraded to the new Market. (2.2.6) When going to Market on the Nexus S, the third tab is T-Mobile. I really hope when switching to the newer Market that it goes away.

Yeah, I noticed that there were some apps missing from the Market as well, but this may be because of the transition from 2.2 to 2.3. Back in the day when we were moving from 2.1 to 2.2 there was a whole to-do about some apps not showing in the market and it had to do with developers not checking some options/settings to do with security or something in their app(s).
I suppose it's the price we pay for being on the bleeding edge. I did notice that apps that were sitting on my SD card on my Nexus One were not transferred over and I'll need to redownload them.
OT: How would I got about transferring settings, save games, etc. onto my Nexus S? This is the one thing that irks me about resetting a phone/moving to a new phone. Apps are transferred but settings/saves are not.

That's lame. I hope Google continues to make phones with a fixed amount of storage so that they can backup everything to the cloud. Due to them knowing what's on the phone, they can then restore the apps and saves for us.
i tried installing the new market apk that i used for my n1. it installed, but some of the text was cut off and kept forceclosing. im also not liking the tmobile branded market.
After having google wallet working flawlessly on NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 I decided to try the ICS roms that were available. Everytime I went to set my account back up I would get the message "Error adding Card". So I went back to my backup of NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 where it originally worked. So when I went to wallet it gave me a message saying that my bank had removed my card and to call this number. The man I talked to at google basically informed me that wallet doesn't support custom roms. It goes by the original stock rom ( even though NSCollab Sprint 1.0.51 wasn't stock) and the google wallet app knows its on something else. Here is the letter I received from google:

Maybe this is old news to some but I didn't know this. So it looks like google wallet is pretty much useless unless you stay with the same rom? It seems to me though I have seen people post that they signed back in to there original accounts fine after flashing and had there balance still there. Anyone have any idea of a way around this and have gotten there wallet working after flashing from one rom to another?

I've been using Wallet on Bugless Beast GPA19 for some time now without issue, but from the reports I have read from other users, it can be very finicky. It seems that it has to be installed or baked into a ROM with clean data (at least to start). Some folks will get the Market updates for Wallet and others won't. If your device won't update from the Market and you try to manually update to the latest version of Wallet, it can cause Wallet to stop functioning. I actually had this happen to me and I needed to restore a Nandroid to get it working again.

Might be more of a google market question, but thought I would start here.
I have 1 MT4GS with 90 or so apps, getting a second MT4GS. Most apps are market, but some from other spots. Is there a way to massively update/download the apps I have on current phone to new phone. In the past, I have just downloaded them one at a time from market.
Thanks in advance...
Possibly
Just an idea, you could make a backup of your current mt4gs and then restore it on the new one? Ive never tried it but I dont see why it wouldnt work
Your google account should keep record of your downloaded apps and redownload on the next device you sign in on... Usually...

I know with previous phones this didn't work. I would connect to my same account with the new phone, but it wouldn't show that I had apps loaded. Example, the eBay app would not show installed, I would have to load like it was a new app install. It would be great if that would do that, or it would show 90 updates to be applied. But I haven't done this in a while, maybe newand improved market will allow. I guess I will find out when I get receive the 2nd phone.
Thanks..
Well if your rooted and your next phone is rooted then you can use titanium backup to backup all your apps. If you CWM installed on both then you can make a nandroid backup and either restore it on the new one or use appextractor to restore the apps. But if your not then your best bet is let Google restore the apps that it does and manually resinstall the ones that it doesn't.
all of your payed for apps will certainly appear in the market under my apps and you can just go thru clicking on them one after another after another. the ones that were free though, i dont know any quick/easy way. i'm sure theres an app that will track all your downloaded apps regardless of if they were free or not.
The market website actually keeps a log of every app you downloaded. You can then send them right to your phone from there.

This is what I'm seeing, it show my paid for apps, but not the freebees. FYI - first phone is not rooted, second one is..
I also logged into google and google market on the pc hoping to see 'my apps', but no luck there..
So looks like a download at a time..
Thanks all for your inputs...
That is odd. I still have stuff on the Web Based Market list that I haven't used since my old craptastic Behold II 2 years ago.

roms make a difference
I have been trying out different roms and they act different with Market.
These 2 work like I mentioend before, only show bought apps:
Bulletproof
Doubleshot Lite 1.2.4
But this one does an auto download of all my past downloaded apps, very cool.
RootzWiki and install Undeadk9's ICS-splashed ROM: RubiX_ICS_v5.3_release-keys_signed
Recently I have been trying to install Google Wallet on my rooted Nexus S (CM10 - Jelly Bean) and have been having difficulty.
One the app does not show up in the android market and when I do use a link it says: "Your device isn't compatible with this version". Although I have seen people with JB using it.
When I tried to install the APK, there was not problems installing it, although when I opened it said:
"Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not been yet certified in your country or on your device/carrier."
I live in Canada and my carrier is rogers.
Is there any way I can get this work for me?
Wallet
Hello,
I think that Google Wallet needs to come preinstalled on your phone's ROM. I've never been able to get anything else work. Since it only is available on a handful of devices (Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus), I don't think you can just download it from Play Store.
But once you get it on your phone, enable NFC, and then wipe data for the app. Use TiBackup.
Use the search option. There are a number of threads in the themes and apps

No APK that I know of. It's actually a really easy fix though. I was a little uneasy doing it but once I went through the process it was easy.

Wallet problem
Greetings everyone!
A little background first. Verizon SGS3, rooted and unlocked, but still on stock TW.
I completed the steps in the above mentioned thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083, and everything seems to be working ok. I have made a few purchases and it works, however I am thinking something is wrong.
Let me explain. When I go to make a purchase, it will make the POS machine flash/beep, etc., but then shows on my screen that the trans. may not be good/complete. The cashier continues the sale like normal, the receipt prints and all is good, but it just takes a min standing in line to make sure that all is well. Then after a while, the trans will show up in Wallet (on the phone) in the list.
Is this normal for you all?
Second thing is that I can't see my Google PrePay card in the online Wallet page. I can see the other cards that I have added in both places, phone and online, but I can't manage the new card that was given when I signed up. Therefore, I am stuck adding funds on the phone.
Should I do a reset? Will this lose the $ that I have added to the PrePay card, or will it magically pick it back up when I re-setup Wallet on the phone? I have read that I need to write down the card number (user ID) in case you need it, and I assume that this is one of those times.
Any ideas?
TIA for the help.
I'm not seeing it either unfortunately. I was just getting ready to try the workaround & then saw your post. Oh well, guess I'll still try the workaround.
Is it possibly just a regional thing? I read somewhere that they were getting ready to roll out ISIS in a couple of markets soon - is it possible that they unblocked Wallet in those markets to avoid the 'how do you justify blocking wallet as a security concern if you're now allowing ISIS' question?
Dunno.

it does say it's not available on my carrier for everything but my S3 thats where it's installed the XDA way. but thats funny because my tablet is WI-Fi only so it should be able to install it to my tab...Check the general section...
