Downloading multi apps on play store? - AT&T LG G2

Hi all, just wondering if there is a method to downloading multiple apps from the play store under the apps that I have either installed before or purchased? I have a ton of apps I've installed or purchased from all the previous android phones I've owned but its a pain in the ass to keep having to install one by one and it always brings me back to the top of the list of my apps. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be much appreciated, thank you -Cory

I haven't tried this but I think if you sync your phone settings to your google account, it'll automatically download all the apps when you do a restore to a new phone?! or does it only work on iOS only? I had to download the apps from Google Store myself but I don't have that many so I don't mind really. That's all I can say so far, mate.

Figured it out last night. Just hold on one of the apps in my apps/all and it allows to multi select

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.
I am not liking the update at all....

Everyone was so excited when this was first announced.
They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

Your flaming/personal attacks have been reported to the moderator
Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Market Issues After Deleting Amazon

I am finally free of the evil Amazon App Store and I also deleted all the free apps of the day I downloaded. I want a few of them again from the Android Market but after an uninstall and even a clear data from the Market the Market says I already purchased those apps and it won't let me download them! Does anyone know of a way to fix this issue?
Steps I have taken:
- Clear data and cache of market app (numerous times)
- Wiped entire phone
- Reloaded ROM
- Did NOT let the setup restore anything
- Reloaded my apps with TiBu
For some reason the market on my phone and online says I have some of the Amazon apps I still want and won't let me download them. It just says purchased and won't let me download them because I didn't buy them from the Market. Any help would be awesome!
why is amazon evil? Because they give you free apps everyday? Or let everyone in your family have an app with only one purchase?
What a way to answer his question and the help the community bro...

umm, he bashed amazon, I asked why. I have no idea why market says apps are installed that really aren't. My solution, you should have all your apps backed up with either app monster pro or titanium backup. App monster pro lets you restore apps directly from the market.
If not, a hard reset might be the easest answer.
At least my post was on topic.

They may or may not be evil, but they do write some sh**** code for their amazon store application as well as how they implement their DRM. I can tell you however, that they are pretty evil to those that choose to develop on their appstore though.
http://bithack.se/news/apparatus-amazon-july-4-2011.html
I'm guessing the market somehow still thinks you purchased the apps because of the amazon store writing half*** code and there's not much that can be done really
Mustang302LX, I just tried to duplicate the issue and wasn't able to. "Seal" is a paid application I downloaded from Amazon. When I uninstall it and then go to the Android Market there's no trace of it from the Amazon store. The google market should only recognize apps purchased via its checkout.
I would try another full system wipe including the Android and data folders on your sdcard. Basically try to get it as close to out of box as possible without going back to the stock rom

Ughh. I've heard this about the Amazon market, that and it being a Monster battery hog.
By contacting google market directly they may be able to clear those transactions from your profile.

I'm not a dev so I really don't care if an indie dev has a problem with amazon. I like to purchase apps on there because I have 4 phones with 4 different gmail accounts, that I would have to purchase 4 copies of the same app for my family. This would get expensive quick. Amazon allows you to install an app across all of your devices. This is why I always look there first when buying an app.
I wish the review process was faster, but I appreciate the fact that they review the apps. The market is full of crap apps and apps that have been copied from other devs. I know its the other extreme, but coming from windows phone, I prefer that to any app making it and it being up to me to make sure its not malware.
What's weird about the OP's problem is that when I install an app from amazon and from market (on accident I've done this a couple of times), it recognizes either way that it was from the other site and asks me if I want to uninstall the one version and install it from the market.
If this is happening after a data wipe, there are bigger issues here.
edit: same reason I use amazon music vs google music. I would have to upload my music to all the gmail accounts instead of one amazon account.
Now who's off topic, we're glad YOU prefer Amazon and it fits for YOUR family but...that's not what this thread is about. And please don't write back with some looooong semi personal response, it's not that serious.

I looked there but it must go away with an uninstall. Might backup SD card and format and just put music and pics back along with a full wipe this weekend.
Sent from my Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod 7 using the Tapatalk app.
Update: I removed my SD card and turned phone on and cleaed market cache and data and no good. So I came up with a backup plan. Since the Market allows for multiple sign ons I created a 2nd account and using that I am able to sign into the Market easily and download all the apps it claims I have purchased on my primary account. It's not the absolute best work around but it does work so that's a good thing for now.

Unpurchased apps show up as purchased

Like the title, random games show up as purchased, when i have never touched that game before, not even viewed it. Its quite annoying as i cant actually purchase it
Can anybody help?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Revert back to old market (uninstall updates in settings>manage apps>Google Play), visit the market again and it will be available to download.

Go to your settings/applications/manage applications, select teh "All" tab and then look up the Google Play (Android Market) and select Clear Cache & Clear Data, then go back to the market and see if that problem persists. It should be cleared.

Use the donate version of Titanium Backup to detach apps from the market if you have them installed through Amazon Appstore or another service.

Go to the google market/play app on manage apps. Uninstall all updates for it. Then go on the store again and you can purchase the app the you previously couldnt
Nope...
Hello,
This solution did not work for me. My friend sent me an app he purchased via email, which I cannot update since I did not purchase it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still apperas as purchased in Android market/google play... Are there any other solutions to this issue?
In advance, thank you very much for your attention.

I am having this problem too! Also on the market on my PC, it shows up as purchased, so I can't buy Shadowgun! :S

Calm Down Guys . you will eventually get Google Play which is = to Google Market . just clear market cache and reopen market press home and wait for 10 mins then open the market again . Hopefully you will get the update
Yeah, kinda threw me off too...it's a pain. I liked the simple Market idea better but...oh well...they made it worth my while by giving Dead Space and a bunch of other cool apps away for $.50 -_-

Agreed....this is a swift kick in the pants for me. I just got a bunch of family members to start using Latitude and now this. Even if I switched to G+ and got them to, I still have to set it all up from scratch. You can't import your friends from one to the other.
I've really been trying to NOT use Google + but, being a heavy user of Google Talk to chat, Google Voice for SMS, and Google Latitude for location sharing it seems I will have no choice soon.
I downloaded it this morning. I like it. I think the features are nice and its a bit quicker. Seems much more modern to me then the older version. I don't use offline maps, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I think also if you type in "OK Maps" it will save maps for offline.

You can get the new version there and then update it with the Play Store.
