I'm having the same problem with the IMDB app so that may be a problem with the marketplace itself. I haven't had the problem with anything else yet though.

So I think you don´t have a HTC with preinstalled apps or did your HTC Notes app update correctly?
For me it´s the second app with that problem, and that suxx
I hope there will be a solution, from side of microsoft, next time.

I'm getting it with the IMDB app too. Haven't had it with anything else yet though.

Same problem here with IMDB.
Maybe the problem only concerns this program ?

Possible solutions
For those having issues with license problems when downloading / updating apps try this: Uninstall original app & then reinstall app from Marketplace. Worked for me. Another way that has been suggested & seems to work for some people (this was suggested by MS Support) Take the battery out & replace after 60 secs & then try again. Hope this helps folks.

Hi.
Uninstall and Reinstall was the first I tried, without any result.
The 60 second battery out worked fine! Thx for this tip!

Let´s say...it´s Windows and for windows...reboot is good

I want to change my Region in Zune account. During the registration of my profile from the phone I set the "Country" to "United Kingdom" and now I see all prices in the GBP. In my profile info at Zune.com I can change my name, e-mail address, but I cant change the Country (I need to setup to region with USD prices). Can someone help me?

I've read somewhere that there is no way to change the country of a Live ID account. You have to create another one and then, another Microsoft deadly choice, you have to do a "reset to factory" on your phone because there is no way to change the first Windows Live ID account in Settings->System->Email & Accounts.
I did the reset, added the account with the correct country as the first Windows Live ID but also added the previous account as a secondary Windows Live ID and I'm just keeping the phone in sync with the contacts, mail and calendar of this second account.

I did not have to pay for mine again. I did not take the battrery out either, I just ununstalled the app and then went to marketplace and retried the download. Worked fine then.

No.
Once you buy an application it remains free for you (unless you use a new account).

Need to reset to delete my email id (already rooted)

Hi,
I am already rooted. I wanted to remove my user id from gmail account so that my wife can put hers. I also deleted some of the AT&T apps after following the rooting guide.
When I tried to delete my gmail account its saying that I have to reset my phone to factory settings. My question is that can I do that knowing that I am rooted. Also what would happen to my paid and downloaded apps? Please guide.
Also I heard that new upgrade is coming will there be an issue upgrading to the new OS?
Please help..

You can do a factory reset and it will still be rooted, as for your paid apps they are tied to your Google ID so you will not be able to reinstall them if you set it up under your wife's account. You will still be able to get the upgrade but you should check the forum before you upgrade as you may lose your root with an upgrade.
Thanks/One more question

Well if you look in the market for antivirus it will pull up quite a few apps that say it protects you from ID theft and such...some are free and some you have to pay for. I personally do not use any but I don't do a lot of sensitive stuff on my phone..
Do you consider buying apps sensitive?
I also do not do any sensitive stuff only buy apps. The problem is that it does not reconfirm the password when you buy any app.

cannot install using Fast Web Installer

I am absolutely stumped!
I restored my apps from Titanium, inc. AppBrain. This also restored my AppBrain data which was a bummer as Appbrain recognised it as the same phone, regardless of having upgraded to 2.1 forcing a clean install.
I then installed Fast Web Installer and it worked great, but I noticed it was still recognising as having had installed apps that I hadn't installed, and it thought my phone was 1.6 so kept getting annoying message on website. I uninstalled and reinstalled App Brain and it worked fine, but suddenly Fast Web Installer doesnt work. I get:
"There was an error sending the app to the phone. Please make sure you enabled it with the 'fast web installer' app and then please try again."
I have done everything I can think of, uninstalled both then reinstalled them, launched the FWI app multiple times, synced appbrain multiple times, all the above in multiple sequences, until I decided to delete my account, uninstall app brain, uninstall FWI, recreate my account, reinstall app brain, sync appbrain, install FWI, launched FWI, Synced App Brain, then crossed my fingers, but still got the same problem.
It's painfully annoying as its such an awesome thing
Has anyone else come across this error, and does anyone know a sollution? Im at pulling my hair out here
I have the same problem , its was working before but cant work these days
well, in the process of trying to fix this I accidently got my phone into a power cycle cycle, so gave it a clean install. It works now :S
but the facebook widget is now giving me grief. *When will it all enndddd??*
It's a bug from fast web installer. I emailed appbrain and now it's work. Should work for you too I guess.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Stop working for me
Anyone could help here? In my last post Fast Web Installer is work for me.. But it now stop from working and no work around yet.
Try to reinstall appbrain app market and fast web installer but no solution yet. I event reflashed my phone (without wiping my data).
I already emaild appbrain but no response yet.

Ah yes, I see that the market is now version 2.12 instead of the 2.09 in which firmware 2.1 gave us. That is quite unfortunate as that was a really useful tool

[Q] Removing My Orders and My Devices form Android Market

Does anybody knows how to remove My Orders and My Devices form Android Market?
Earlier I used Desire HD. Some market application I did not used that time and off-course uninstalled them. That time those unused uninstalled also appeared onto my market account. Recently I changed my phone to Sensation but still those DHD applications are visible onto my market account. Even some of them automatically restored. I want to get rid of that by removing unappropriated stuffs.
When I used Desire HD android market's "My Devices" page showed desire HD. But now after using sensation, "My Devices" page is showing two devices.
Please help me by let me know how to remove My Orders and My Devices form Android Market?.

Yeah I did. But Android Market's website is showing all the previously installed applications.
Have you tried going to the android market website on your PC? You can login to you account there and delete devices.

You can delete devices from there. I didnt even know the android market kept track of your devices until I went there a couple days ago. I saw every phone I had listed. It was weird to see my G1 listed from back in the day lol. I deleted them all except for my current Sensation.

My mistake, you are correct. I could have sworn I deleted them.
Has anyone ever figured this out?
I flash my phone a few times a month and I think it is nice that it will reinstall all your market apps but there are a LOT that I just install to try and then want them GONE forever. Has anyone ever figured this out?
Thanks,
supersobbie
PS Yes I tried to uninstall from the settings menu as well as uninstalling using the market app on the phone. But I still have "FREE" apps on my orders list from January of this year that I do not install or use.
Nope, and Google are useless as well as they didn't even know that if you look on your Google Dashboard (all account data held by Google) you can see what they backup and how large the backup is
In order to get those old apps from your previous device not to restore on your new device all you have to do is not select "automatically restore backup" check when you first setup your device. I prefer to use titanium backup anyway because I prefer a more hands on approach. Hope that helps. Just do a factory reset and make sure you don't check that option the 2nd go-around.
this problem also bugs me too. I got a new phone and it doesn't automatically install all my apps, the market only seems to want to install to old phone?
and there are apps I do not wish to install.
the market app on the phone doesn't show any apps at all.
so I have to go through the market website and manually pick the apps.
I find it hard to believe that Google haven't done proper useability testing for this scenario, it's really crap.

[Market Problem] App marked as paid, cant install

Hi,
half a year ago I had a "HYBRID" called Rom installed on my Phone. This Rom had several premium apps (aka warez) with them. Accidently, I tried to update some of them back then.
The Rom didn't last long on my phone but now I have problems because of that update-try it seems.
The App "Tapatalk" is marked as paid in my Google Apps section. If i click "Install" it says "Error 403" (not authenticated I guess).
There is no way to remove the app from my App Section it seems. I tried requesting a refund, describing my problem but only thing I got back was a mail telling me that it is a free app?!
Anyone has an idea how i can remove this app from my list so I can buy it?
I had no problems buying other apps so far (Root Explorer and PowerAmp just yesterday), its just this Tapatalk app.
Thanks for your help!
regards
From what I have read it looks like you will not be able to remove it from your list. Did you try clearing the cache and data for the android market app?
Had this problem myself before.
only way I got around it was to freeze market updater, Downgrade to an old market, one of the original greeny ones. 2. something. Then unlink the app from the market. I then choose to buy the app. Then unfreeze your market updater and let it update or flash a new market.
You will need to reboot after most of those steps.
This should hopefully help as it did for me.
Yes. I also have tried a workaround with market fixer that i have found (clear google service framework, delete links, reboot and such stuff).
The app is also marked as "paid" on the Google Website (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tapatalk&c=apps)
Thanks StephenC82. I will try that!
I've the same problem, but my paid apps were all downloaded for free on GetJar -_-'
I've sent a bug report, they contacted me and after one thousand emails (where they asked me to reset the phone twice etc) they told me that they're working on it and I've just to wait for news from them...
Good luck bro, sadly we're in the same boat
The market thing didnt do the trick, but this topic helped!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547134
The Javascript code did nothing, but inspecting the element + changing the value to "false" helped. I clicked "purchased" again and it asked me for the payment informations. After that i was able to download the app via the normal play market on my phone
Glad you got it worked out.
Greatttttttttt

[Q] Backing up apps

Just curious:
Let's say I purchased an app from the Marketplace, and it was later delisted. Using Windows Phone Device Manager, I can back up the individual files for my apps, but is it possible to also restore them? Say I had to do a hard reset, or uninstalled an app, not realizing it was delisted. Is it possible to put the app back on my phone? Additionally, it's my understanding that pirated Xbox Live games will not have achievements available to them. Therefore, if there IS a way to restore apps that I've uninstalled (or otherwise lost), will it enable Xbox Live functionality if it's backed up from my phone and restored to my phone?
I did a search of the forums, but didn't find an answer, so I apologize if this has already been asked. Thank you for your time.
This won't work. There's more to an app than just its install files; it also needs to be registered with the AppMgr (this is what does things like put it in the app list) and also needs a security chamber (basically, a user account) created with custom permissions (each app runs in a different chamber).

So there's no way to ever reinstall a deleted app if it's no longer in the Marketplace? ... Damn. That sucks.
Still, thanks for your reply. Much obliged!

There should be if you check your dl history on the WP site. You can redownload apps from there and if it works anything like the Xbox marketplace, this will include delisted apps. Haven't had to do it myself yet, so cannot be sure but worth a try.

FYI, the Marketplace does not work like that for WP7. If you try to redownload an app that you previously had (free or paid) that is NO LONGER on the Marketplace, with the Reinstaller App for example, it will not find the files to do the download.
However, if you know who the developer is/was, might be able to contact them and have them send you the XAP....
