Thanks Android Police.
Whats new:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
Just like in the web Play Store:
- reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
- reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
- you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using
hahahahaha....I always love threads like this, they'll be about 100 of these by the end of the day!
Also you should search before posting ESPECIALLY with a thread like this.....

About a 4 or 5 days ago a app started showing up in my "Installed" tab in the Google Play Store. The app has no title, and it says its made by TimothyMilla. The comments on the app say that its tied to Teeter, which is an HTC Bloatware game that comes with the phone. I haven't clicked Open on the app yet because the other apps made by TimothyMilla look suspect, TimothyMilla didn't make Teeter, and I didn't install whatever this is.
My question is does anyone else have this issue, or know what it is? Or does anyone know if TimothyMilla apps are spyware? Look Out Security couldn't find any maleware, but i'm really concerned with this showing up.
I've tried wiping everything off my phone, which removed the app at first, but by the time I finished reinstalling all my apps, it showed up again. (I reinstalled apps directly from Google Play, not through a phone back up).
Yeah I have the same app showing up in my play account. Comes up clean jen scanned though..

It's Teeter, however does not know why it shows up this way.
I removed teeter via titanium Backup (never played it) and it was also gone from My Apps on the store.
Hi!
I have such strange "app" too. And I've teeter installed on my phone. Anyway, I've never seen Timothymilla before yesterdey on my phone market.
I don't want to remove Teether. What is this app?
I noticed this yesterday as well. I clicked 'Open' and it opened Teeter. I haven't noticed anything different about my phone, so for now I'm just assuming its a link anomaly of some sort.

That is exactly what it is. This "dev" has an "app" with the same package name as the stock teeter app and thus is being mistakenly tagged in the store. Timothy Milla is NOT the dev that created teeter. The same thing is happening with the GS2's stock email app. The store is mistaking it for some Russian app. This is all do to the latest update to the store, 3.5.15. In short, you don't have Timothy Milla's app, you have teeter. The market link launches teeter because that is the package on the device that corresponds to that "app."
I don't know what happened but such entry has disappeared on my Play Store.
I had a similar event show up in my apps yesterday on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet. The strange thing is that it doesn't show the typical 3 choices of Update, Open, and Un-install. It just has a button for Open. I have no idea what it is so I am not opening it.
Is there some way to block an app from showing updates?

TimothyMilla appeared again!
This bothers me a lot!
One thing I forgot to mention is that this unknown app of mine has no permissions listed and also has no ratings or comments section. Does your Timothy Milla app have all these usual "bits" shown in its listing, or are they also missing on your mystery app?
As for the permission list, I don't see one too. But I don't see permission even on other normal apps. As for the comments, yes, they are present, I see few comments.
This morning I had 4 apps in the update list on my tablet, but the mysterious app previously discussed was gone. Hopefully Google figured out what was going on and dealt with it on their server.
Actually it disappeared again on my device too.
So, it seems to be a Google Play issue.
I'm getting the same information on the similar thread I started on Android Forums, so it looks like the issue has been discovered and fixed.
Not spyware
Well this is a little flattering... I'd just like to clear some things up. No, this isn't some major hack on the Android market that puts you all at risk. It is however, a huge bug in the new Play Store Google put out a little while ago. Let me explain: Google used to have a list of package names that they would screen from appearing in the market for example, preinstalled apps such as Teeter. Somehow when Google updated to the Play store, this system got reversed and it somehow picked my developer account (I'm still trying to contact Google and find out how) and displayed this on your "My apps" section. No, the app was not automagically installed on your phone, it was always preinstalled but it just now showed up in the Android market because of faulty programming on the engineering team for Google Play.

There is no way my device would have an intrinsic application which doesn't even list itself in English. Especially because the device on which it appeared is running a custom ROM, so I know which apps it would have "preinstalled". I believe what you are saying is that Google initially chose to block your account based upon that app, and it somehow got through. They likely had a good reason to do so. I see you do have other apps on the store, but every one of them lists in English. Not very compelling evidence that the rogue app was something safe.
At the Google Play Store website -- not the app on the phone -- my listing of "My Android Apps" goes up to apps starting with the letter "M". Clicking the ">" doesn't move to the next 'page' like one would think either. It actually starts me over at the beginning.
How do you see the rest of the apps that have been installed at one point or another ?
Also, and I've asked this many times in many places to no avail, how do you permanently remove apps ? Some are apps that aren't compatible with my current phone, for example. Some are (stupid) games my kids have installed (and uninstall so they think I won't know !!). Others still are apps I'm not interested in, i.e. I've probably tried just about every launcher ever released for Android !
Hey guys,
So I've been working on an app for a while now that's live on google play in a limited number of territories.
One of the most common errors I've started seeing 'in the wild' is a crash on app startup due to no memory.
I'm loading a lot of textures in the app so its not a surprise, and most modern Android devices handle it just fine. I'm working away on optimising loading in various places BUT I still think I'll need to start excluding some of the more low-powered android devices from the google play store.
The problem is that there are of course THOUSANDS of devices listed on the Google play store and I don't have a set list of exactly what to exclude yet. I can put some stuff in on the code side to exclude certain resolutions, chipsets etc. but would still like to make list some excluded devices on the google play store. Ideally without having to cross-reference every device with their gsm arena listings for stats :silly:
My question is:
Does anyone have a a few suggestions of particularity low powered or old devices that they don't support for their apps?
You might think that after 10-ish years of using Android, I'd know this...
How do I find the developer name of a specific app in Oreo? I don't see it in Settings > Apps > (app name), or in the app's setting under About. The only way I've found in general, is long press in the app icon the tap the Play Store icon. But some apps are not in the Google play store.
Specifically, I have two app call Contacts. One I know is Google. I can confirm this using the Play Store icon as described above. I haven't another way. The other, I'm 97% sure is Samsung. Tapping it's Play Store icon opens the Play Store to a page that says "Item not found."
I can find version very easily. I can also find the license info. Why is the dev name so hard to find?
