I've been trying to fix a market issue with my SG tab 7.7 so I did a full wipe and reflashed the ROM in CWM.
Now when I go into the market, all my paid apps don't show up as paid, it wants me to pay again (e.g. titanium root, mobile odin etc.) Ditto on the web store as well.
I've filled in the form on the website but I"m not holding my breath for google (lack of) customer service, anybody run into this before?
Checking on my other droids, the same issue appears to be afflicting them as well, even if the app comes up in 'my apps' when I click on it instead of letting me reinstall it wants me to pay again!!!!
EDIT: Please DO NOT BOTHER SUGGESTING any of the normal 'fixes' such as clearing cache/data, clearing google service framework, full wipe, remove and re-add account, check google account is selected etc. This thread is for those of us whom none of the client side fixes work. And yes our web store is also similarly broken. Confirmed its a google side issue via raising a ticket with them. As per google: ""We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it. This complex issue involves several areas of the Google Play Store app and is not an easy fix, so I don’t have a good estimate on how long it will take us to resolve it. As soon as I have any updates, I’ll be the first to let you know.""
Just one silly question. Are you using the same gmail account for your paid market apps ? Is the device id remain the same as it is ?
Touch wood, so far I never experience your issue here. I have did several times of full data wipe with flashed more than 10 different roms from GB to ICS and so far my paid apps still displaying as "purchased". It will appear as "not installed" in "My Apps" section if I haven't re-download/restore them.
Try contact google and probably you need to show them your receipts from the apps you purchased in the past.
Same account, I didn't change any ID or whatever (full wipe and reinstall of same rom). Besides its happening on all 3 droids I own (1 phone 2 tablets).
tried clearing market data, cache, force stop etc. no change.
On web store it says I don't own any apps
As for receipts I have it all in my gmail of course but I have to wait for goog to get back to me, the lack of customer service (e.g. I can't even call someone) is appalling IMO. I have over 30 paid apps so this is super annoying, and now I"m afraid to buy any more in meantime until its resolved lest it screw my account even more
Hey, this is my first post ever on XDA.
I just wanted to say that exactly the same thing has happened to me. I've bought around 50 apps on the market, and as of yesterday all of them started saying that I would need to pay in order to install them.
On the web store it says I don't own any apps, so I'm sure this has nothing to do with my individual device. It seems like a problem on the back-end. Maybe some glitches appeared in the system during the transition to Google Play?
Anyway, I'm stuck in the exact same boat that you are. I've reported the problem to Google via their support form, but aside from the automated response that you get when you first report a problem, I haven't heard anything back from them.
I also started wondering whether the problem might fix itself if I buy another app. But I'm also paranoid about making it worse somehow. Sigh...

Oh, by the way, I'm running an unrooted Galaxy Nexus with 100% stock firmware. So I really think this is issue has nothing to do with custom ROMs - I reckon the problem is entirely on Google's side.
Yep has to be if the web store is borked as well. Also under my apps, all, it sometimes throws 'error connecting to server [RPC]' or something like that
Two of my droids are custom (Atrix w/ ICS Cm9 beta, Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 w/ tweaked stock) but a third is stock unrooted (sony tablet S).
poor form from goog they really need to up their customer service, even if 'sorry we know there's an issue with XYZ and we're working on it'. I've also got 50+ apps lol
yup im having the same, I first thought it was due to my custom FW but seems unrooted stock folk are also having this problem. I made a thread about it a couple of days ago and again all having the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24026026#post24026026
what i found, is if i go to the web store and see my purchase history and click a product, it shows as purchased (like it should) but will not download when clicked, when using the search bar looking for the same app (my case both was titanium pro) it wanted me to purchase.
also, when you try to "re purchase" an app you already have, it will attempt to buy but you get an error, followed by 2 emails, a receipt immediately followed by a refunded email.
on an additional note, "play" has now been added to the black bar google home page above the search results in between maps ans youtube, so it seems they are messing with something
Anyone tried to connect to a 3g/wifi and manually sync your gmail account ? So far I observed is whenever I just wiped my phone. It will take awhile to fully synced back my email, contact, calendar and the last one which should be google market place.
Try don't take any attempts to make it work and let it be under internet connection and see if they will come back by their own. Just don't do any full wipe again, and performs a normal personal data restoration (like titanium backups). Let it be like 1 day normal usage with internet connectivity and see if those missing apps will appear back or not.
My personally experience is that I didn't actually take any action when I see them blank after full wipe. I proceed and busy with my gmail account login, sync back my contact and calendar, then performs titanium restoration and sms restoration. Eventually they just appeared after couple of hours or maybe 1 day or I dunno, I didn't actually care about it as I just know that they will come back to me and so far the app did appear back by its own in "My Apps" section.
none rooted stock phones are also having this problem, so im not sure its anything to do with wiping the cache and thanks, but thanks for the input.

Out of curiosity, have you tried purchasing an app that you didn't already have? What happens then?
I've been hit with this too. My apps on the website are completely gone. The orders are still there, thank god. So if google ever actually try and help I can prove I bought them.
All I did was clear cache and data in the play store on ICS because I couldn't download updates. Did they change clear data so it wipes EVERYTHING server side?
My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page. If I try and update my apps it asks me to pay.
My nexus one on GB still uses a really old version of market (I froze the updater some time ago) and that's working fine at the moment. I can do updates ok too.
On my xoom I unistalled updates to pre "play store" re-brand (so plain old android market) and it shows all my apps and lets me update them without asking me to pay again. Next time I open it, I'm back on the play store with no apps listed in "my apps". So I uninstall updates again next time I need to use it. There doesn't seem to be an updater to freeze any more.
I daren't try buying any new apps in case that messes it up even more.
As a short term workaround try using an older version of the market. The one that works for me is 3.3.12.
I've tried going back to a nandroid from a couple of weeks ago, didn't work. I've wiped, flashed, market doctored, everything I could think of. No help. This is definitely server side.
I've sent emails to google but they haven't replied. I sent a few because there wasn't an option for "you deleted everything on my account for no reason."
"My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page."
My playstore on my ICS Galaxy S2 had the same bug. I installed a free app, cleared my playstore and did a Restart. I don´t know why, but my apps are here again.

What does Playstore on your Computer say, about your installed and bought apps?
Try to install them from internet explorer (www_play_google_com/apps) _=> .

Nope, play store on my computer is also blank. The orders are in google wallet, but the apps aren't there in "my android apps".
I know it sounds completely ridiculous, but my account has been wiped on the server. I've attached some screenshots. The first 2 are what happens when I go to play.google.com "my android apps" (I always get one or the other), the third is my xoom's store, the 4th is google wallet showing a handful of the apps that should be there.

when i tried to purchase one I didnt have, it went through and downloaded fine (I purchased v player unlock for 59p) yet I was getting an error trying to download the free trial app. All seems a bit odd to me.

Hopefully Google will fix this soon. Or at least reply to one of us... maybe
If you contact the titanium developer he might be able to send you the old version of the pro key. It's just a file you put on your sdcard. He's always been really helpful when I had issues.

I got a reply from Google Play Support, but it seemed like a canned response: it was mostly suggestions to try things I've already tried, such as logging in with the correct account, making sure I've upgraded to the latest version of the Play Store app, or doing a hardware reset of the device.
I replied with a more detailed explanation, and included several screenshots to illustrate the problem.
I also included a link to this thread. Hopefully someone at Google will realise that there's a problem on their side that needs to be fixed.
I haven't even gotten a single response short of the initial auto reply, and its nearly 72 hours. Pathetic really. If I was an apple customer and lost all my itunes purchases.......... GAH google get it sorted
Basically what's in the topic. It's a Nexus 5 phone with the original Android OS (latest version 6.0.1), it's not and it's not locked to any particular carrier.
I was never asked to install that app , I wasn't even browsing Google Play Store today, neither from the phone, nor my computer that logged in to my Google account.
How is it even possible? Who installed that app on my phone without my consent? Frankly I wouldn't even care, but this app is basically taking your phonebook data, so it's kinda creeping me out that it's popped on my phone just like that.

Check in your Google security settings, someone might be playing around with your Google account.

Don't think so, in the list of recently used devices I can only see my computers.
Hi,
I purchased a new phone a Motorola Edge S (hardware SKU XT2125-4), unfortunately it is a China ROM phone which means it didn't come with Google play store. This was side loaded and I am able to install apps from google. But I have SO many issues with this and I am hoping someone has something helpful to actually use this phone
1. When I try to use Google setup a nearby device (to transfer everything over to this phone), it simply can't find my new phone (despite having bluetooth and location on for both phones
2. I can't restore contacts from google drive even though I can connect
3. I downloaded the MAGISK app, however the file browser is unable to install as the app is not allowed. The toggle to trust the app can not be changed.
I am at a loss as to how to actually use this phone as essentially it's useless at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
It is already running Android Version 11
Baseband version M55_HI20_209.334.01.60R NIO_PVT_SUPERSDS_CUST
Kernel Version 4.19.136-perf+
Build Number RRN31.Q1-20-17-6
I can provide any / all other information if needed
If the solution is to root the phone, I'm ok with that too, but see point 3.
I'm in the same situation. Purchased the XT2125 as well. Got the Google stuff working by side loading the play store, services and framework. However, initially, while everything else was working, the contacts wouldn't sync. After a few hours of searching, finally came across an article which said that I also needed to side load an apk called google contacts sync and give it permission. Contacts started syncing after that. Fast forward a couple of days and a system update later, SMS are delivered with really long delays and outbound ones fail. Google maps crashes constantly and navigation just doesn't work. I don't know what to do with this phone now honestly, since I need Google maps navigation on a regular basis. Have tried reinstalling maps, resetting permissions, clearing cache and data but nothing seems to work. And with the SMS delay, I can't sign on our complete transactions on a lot of apps because the SMS usually arrives after such a delay that the code has expired. Feels like such a waste of money this phone even though it's supposed to be great bang for the buck.
I am hopeful that when they release the Moto G100 (same phone actually), that we will be able to flash it with this ROM to make it usable.

Wait it's like that with motorola too
I thought it's only like that with xiaomi
Seems like even with motorola it doesn't come with google apps if it's a china rom
Though it was only with xiaomi where if it's a china rom it doesn't come with any google apps guess im wrong

Yeah, I think it's being released in a couple of days. Anyway, I did a factory reset and the maps issues sorted out. Had to go through the pain of sideloading google again but the device is being shown as google play certified, but yeah, would be nice to just have the international rom on it.
Were you able to make any headway with your device? I didn't put a sim in mine but the rest of it seems to be working ok, except Youtube Vanced isn't signing in with a google account.
