Are you signed in using the same account you used to purchase? If you have multiple accounts on the phone then you can change accounts from in the play app by pressing menu, then accounts.

Try to visit the site with your computer and see if the app is bought or not.

I've asked the mods to move that to general as it's not phone specific. I've also added a method of doing it from the address bar, so you don't have to either use Chrome or figure out how to do the same in your browser of choice.

Is My IP blocked by google? Playstore works fine on GPRS but when I try to download applications throug Wifi on note it shows server error. When i click download, it say country not supported. It lets me download through GPRS. Can anyone pls help?

Lots of Samsung Galaxy Nexus users in South Africa experiencing the exact same issue that images on the Play Store doesn't load/show when using Vodacom's 3G network, but everything seems to be fine on WiFi.

Have a look at your APN settings, the Default Vodacom APN comes with a proxy, once that was removed the images started to load.

SOLUTION

@Fritsa.Viljoen
@Fritsa.Viljoen, Great, thank you for the solution.
@Kubent, I am from Cape Town, Yesterday I upgraded to ICS via accesing About>Software>Upgrade
it worked great, my phone was linked to wifi and everything worked. Last night wile at home and paging through my app, none of the pictures loaded. I found this site, and tried Fritsa.Viljoens solution this morning.
IT WORKED
My service provider is Vodacom. This is what I did and it worked.
Settings>More...>Mobile networks>Access Point Names(APN)>Internet.Vodacom>Proxy>Delete Proxy using backspace>OK> KABOOM it works (Thanks to Fritsa.Viljoen

thanks a lot

Firstly, turn on yr wifi. Let it connect to yr SSID or wifi network. Long press over it. U can find it in yr wifi settings. After long pressing over the name of wifi or also known as SSID;
Go to: modify network config.
Click on: show advanced options.
Scroll down n change IP settings field from DHCP to STATIC.
Scroll down n go to DNS 1 n DNS 2 fields only.
Change it.
DNS1: 8.8.8.8
DNS2: 4.4.4.4
save it.
Note: Do not change any other fields.
If it didn't work, don't change DNS1 and change DNS2 to 8.8.8.8
and save it.
Additionally, u can change it directly from your router' s DHCP settings.
I hope it will definitely fix yr problem. Enjoy.

Same issue that i having face

[A] Google play "error processing purchase"

Can't download free or already purchased apps? Seems to be happening more frequently since we've had ics roms to flash on our skyrockets. Go to manage apps > all > Google play store, clear data and uninstall updates. Then go to Google services framework and clear data. Then reboot and sign in to Google play store again.
I found this solution by searching, but many more of the posts were people reporting the problem over and over, and the solution was kind of buried beneath the cries for help.

good job though.

I tried your method for my issue and it didn't help so I'll challenge you solving mine.
I cant download apps using data only using wifi, every time I try I get a 404 error.

Heh.. that's an issue alright. I've found myself throttled as of today so I'm also having much more success with wifi than the mobile network... but I'm not getting 404 errors, just maliciously slow connections.. the closest guess I can venture is to look in settings > more > mobile networks > access point names > reset to default apns. Either that or maybe flash a different radio. Is the store the only place you're getting errors?

Ye rest of the data usage works fine even while tethering. Just to mention I used lcd modder pro fix on the market but I never heard anyone else with this bug.
I had to set the apn manually anyway because the default one from my providers makes 2 profiles 1 for internet and 1 for mms and the phone cant really handle it so I had to combine them.

Same result with the internet profile?
Maybe uninstall store, remove Google account from device, reinstall store and sign in anew with the account? If that doesn't work, I'd venture to say it may be a problem with your provider. Unless you know people on the same provider without the problem...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Considering I'm usually around wifi it never bothered me so much and until theres an offical 4.0.3 I'm probably not gonna flash any new rom. I'll just wait for the next rom flash and see how it is. Doubt its the provider because my brother has the international GSII and I haven't heard him complain about this issue.
Thanks for trying to help anyway

Adblocker/adaway

Any one know if any of the previous ad blockers will eventually work on 4.4. Just tried the latest version of adaway and I'm receiving an error. Just wondering if these apps will be supported any more. I read somewhere Google was cracking down on adblockers. But God knows I hate seeing ads in apps that don't offer a paid version that's ad free. Thanks.
Don't know if this is supposed to be in Q&A. Thought if there was an apk out there that worked it could be placed here.

i tried adaway and works fine for me... first time got an error while applying hosts file, but I tried it again and it worked.

This one worked just fine for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
No errors at all.

Thanks. Seems like I had a bad download. This worked for me too.

Yep had the same problem and it said it wasn't applied but it was blocking ads so no complaints.

Adblock plus. No problem.

Not working here
Adblock also not working on my Nexus 5. So far I've tried adaway and adfree and I can still see ads in chrome. Gained root using cf-auto-root.

Just succeeded in applying the host file.
Have tried before and failed, so I had given up.
But gave it a try more, and now it works.
Here's how you get it working:
1. Start the app and give root access, download and apply hosts file, this will fail.
2. Exit the app, force close it, erase data.
3. Open the app and run it again.
4. Profit.

The thing is that both adfree and adaway manage to update the host file correctly (checked it myself), but I still get ads in chrome even after rebooting and clearing browser cache. Anyone else has this issue?

Can you post a link to a site where you have ads? I'm using Adblock Plus for Android and would like to see if it's working. I'm assuming it is but would like to test to make sure.

I'm seeing ads on this page too so i guess Adblock Plus isn't working either. Perhaps the apps just need updates to work with Kitkat or maybe Google have found a way to stop the blockers from working somehow? I've only tried on Chrome so far as it seems to be the only Browser that's working properly on our phones.

Adaway works for me, sometimes doesn't enable hosts on the first try but just keep trying

You have no busybox installed!!!
those programs may need that to do a proper job

I am using adaway and it seems to be blocking fine. Just tried it on this page and it looks clean.

For anyone seeing ads on Chrome, that's because you are using Google's Data Compression Proxy.
You can disable it by going to "Settings -> Bandwidth management -> Reduce data usage" and turning it off.

Route Tether Data through VPN (tun0) on 6.0...

OK so I need to route my tethered data through a VPN, it's not to steal data I don't care about that it's for security purposes. Anyway is there any way to do this I've read multiple articles on reconfiguring the iptables but that doesn't work, I used to use Wi-Fi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso but that doesn't do that anymore either. If anyone has any ideas please...
Thank You

Try adguard.. it's adblocking app that creates a local vpn for filtering advt data. Now you can activate mobile tethering and see how it goes. Hope this helps.

I can't find it anywhere this adguard. Is it in the Play Store>
I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for though I'm trying to connect to my VPN through something like OpenVPN and have all the data coming from the tether routed through there...

Adguard is banned on Plays tired for obvious reasons. It is available on their site. Google it and you should have their link. No harm trying it.

i tried it out, it's just a proprietary version of openvpn, but it specifically says it can't tunnel tethered devices. man i'm about to just go back to my htc desire. who wouldve rgought getting a working vpn would be so hard
