So I was able to find a temporary work around for anyone that wants to take advantage of the 10 cent deals or anything else in the market.

Just install an older version of the market such as 2.2.11. I attached it for your convenience. After it instals, hit open and then find the app that you want to buy. Worked fine for me for 2 different apps.

Right after you close the old market though, the new one will appear next time you open the market, so just install the old one again and repeat the process for whatever apps you wanna buy from the market.
[Epic 4G General] tjrssibelle:
That was a neat trick, it works for me thanks

woooow....

Thanks alot.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I've had the same problem. It seemed to happen when I restored some apks using MyBackUp Root. I posted in another forum (EVO3D) last week about it when I did a search. Hopefully Google fixes this soon.

I'd also like to add that Google's excuse of there being "bread crumbs" on the phone and whatnot are BS. If you go to the market website, these apps show up as purchased on there as well so it has nothing to do with the phone. Maybe it caused the issue in the first place, but factory resetting your phone and whatnot do nothing to fix it.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Posting in my 3 month old thread because I've seen at least 2 new threads asking about this issue in the last 2 weeks.

Status update

:

I still reply to the original email chain with Market support. They still give me the BS reply of: "We're looking into it." This has been going on for over 3 months now.
[Epic 4G General] jezarius:
Great fix

Great fix, thanks. :)

The only thing I would add is that once you have bought the app go to:

Settings > Manage Applications > All > Market and choose Uninstall Updates, you will then get the latest version back and can download the app

Semi success in fixing side loaded apps showing up in market..

I've had almost all of my side loaded apps show up in the market due to a mistake I made (wasn't happening before) so this is a bit surprising to find that it is a Google issue?

Anyway, I was able to make it stop for all but 12 apps so far. Also, to be clear, these are apps I downloaded from Amazon's Free App Of The Day and from Getjar who seem to like making paid for apps free and leaving them that way (their GOLD apps section). AFAIK GetJar is legit right? Not a pirate site?

Anyway - here is my thread started recently in which I was able to fix most of the apps this was happening to. My EDIT3 is the most recent success. Right now, I still have 12 apps showing up in the market for updates and instead of getting the old "download denied becasue you haven't purchased the app" (which is what I got in the old market) I am now getting error 403 from google play.

Perhaps what I did will help some of you fix this error. Like I said, it worked for most apps but not all, I can't figure out why some and not others but I'm still researching...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1553018

PS - I think these remaining 12 apps are from getjar, all of my amazon apps are fixed (so far).

[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I still have 2 Amazon apps showing as "Purchased".

Fruit Ninja

Fancy Widgets Pro (even though it's been closed in favor of the regular version.)

The market has also noticed 1 side loaded application as purchased when it shouldn't have.

So, Google still has issues they need to fix. However, they have started to get it going in the right direction.
[Epic 4G General] Sinphaltimus:
I think I'm fixed plus more...

Well, I ran that market fixer app twice. the first time it found 47 bad market links. Most of them look like apps that are no longer available in the market for what ever reason and the rest were some side loaded apps that don't exist in the market. so I cleared all those out.

I ran it a second time and it didn't find any bad links so i had it scan all links. i manually selected the 12 apps that were side loaded and still asking for updates in the market that it won't allow me to get. After removing those 12 links with this app, i no longer seem to have the issue. all my market apps are up to date and the proper ones are showing as installed, no more invalid market links.

I don't think this app alone fixed my issue. I found a lot of issues on my phone (read entire first reply from me above with all the edits).

The last few things I did was to remove and reinstall Launcher Pro (from the market/play store) since I don't do roms and don't like default blur. My phone is now snappier than it has ever been, seriously never ran as fast as it does now.

I've been using setcpu for a while and recently started adjusting my vm heap size but both were unstable before today. finally got the fastest vm heap size figured out (40m) also. I'm due for upgrade in may but am holding on to that upgrade until (hopefully) the galaxy Note comes to Verizon as the journal or whatever. so I'm really happy to have a my phone working again and working pretty fast also. I can't tell you how many performance issues it's had over the past few weeks that all started when i did a complete app restore from titanium backup and shortly after upgraded to .621 with OTa rootkeeper. I've had this phone for 2 years (since froyo) and have taken all OTA's and pulled all the tricks to retain or regain root so my titanium backup probably had a lot of garbage in it and restoring it to a functional phone may have screwed something up.

As much as I thought I would have had to do another wipe/factory restore, i am so glad I didn't. I've learned more about An-Droid X over the past 2 months than I have in the past 2 years of using them.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] EldonP:
Well I don't know what it means, but I'm guessing you want to get rid of T-mobile's applications? You have a few choices ranging from rooting the phone to installing a custom rom, or (my personal fav/recommendation) Cyanogenmod. I don't know of any that won't void your warranty though.

[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
couldnt post in the dev thread.

tried to s-off my sensation XE, but everytime i typ in my serial it says

"Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. try again"

i installed all the drivers, tried htc sync mode, power up mode etc.

what to do ?

Sensation XE Z715e

pyramid-1.18.000

1.73.401.2
[HTC Sensation] arachnid1970:
Just install the drivers and deinstall all programs frim ypur PC that comunicate with your phone (htc sync, mobile phone explorer, etc...) ...put your device in charge only mode and try it again, should work...
[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
it still says communications with phone [...]. perhaps forgot to install a driver ? :S
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It'll always do this, it's 'normal' - keep watching the HBOOT screen as each time it reboots you'll see it say S-OFF. Eventually Revolutionary will ask you to flash CWM
[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
in the hboot screen it says

Locked

pyramid pvt ship s-on rl

hboot-1.18.000

-> no s-off.
[HTC Sensation] arachnid1970:
Exactly the same way, but your device should reboot during that root-procedure...
[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
see the editing...

in the guide of viper it says setp 1 s-off. so i need to soff my phone before rooting right ? or first rooting and then soff ? :S
[HTC Sensation] arachnid1970:
Had you tried revolutionary? Think were talking about 2 diff methods... I've rooted mine with revolutionary and have no experiences with viper on sensation... It was really simple, gi on the website, download the rev program and read the guide before doung something :)
[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
thats actually what i did. downloaded the revolutionary tool, the drivers and then tried to soff with it. but after the beta key enter there comes the error
[HTC Sensation] arachnid1970:
I think that you should only try it several times more till it work...maybee theres one mistake on letters like "l" and "i" or somethig like that... Wish i could help you more, sorry...
[HTC Sensation] kaloenneli:
i changed the computer and then it worked all perfect. dunno whats wrong with my normal pc, but thanks anyway

Hi there,

Facebook put out their new app this week

unfortunatly, the contact synching is not working ...

i opened a request here : https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=1845593

maybe if the link is shared, and a lot of people ask for a fix, they would fix it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsox:
I thought ICS didn't support contact syncing with Facebook anyway? The feature seemed to come and go on my Desire depending on how frosty Google-Facebook relations were at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
It's something that Google won't allow happen until facebook gives in to their demands. They demanded that it be programmed in a certain way and facebook said "screw you". So Google said, then your syncing no longer works.

It doesn't work on any Nexus phones that I know of...at least not directly from the official facebook app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
All Facebook has to do is use the Android Contacts API, which they so far are refusing to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
All Google has to do is pull their head out of their ass and stop screwing their users over.

How dare you talk about Google that way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
Google is probably one of the least likeable companies around.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
What we actually have here is two differing philosophies about ownership of data.

Google believes your data is portable. They believe that once you import data, you own it, and you should be able to export it. If you give me your phone number, I know own that data. Example: If you decide you don't want me to have your number any more, you can't do anything about it. You can't make me forget it or tear up the piece of paper I wrote it down on. You shared it, I imported it, it's now mine.

Facebook disagrees with this. Facebook believes that the phone number only belongs to the person who's phone it is. They believe that if you share your phone number with me, I have to give it back and forget about it if you ever ask me to. Because of this, Facebook does not allow integrating contact info. They only allow Facebook contact data to exist "along side" your other data. So if someone unfriends you, you lose their contact info, picture, etc.

Google, on the other hand, recognizes that this is fundamentally stupid. If you share your data with me, I can keep it if I want, and I can export it to my contacts list if I want and if you don't like it then don't share it!

Facebook takes their position under the guise of maintaining that "only you should have ownership of your own data." But in reality they are enforcing the presence of Facebook if you want to use data obtained from Facebook. In essence, they are asserting that Facebook owns your data that you share.

This is another example of Facebook's dangerous philosophy about "openness." They call it open, but really it's Facebook in control. Meanwhile Google lets you pack up and leave and take your data with you any time you like....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
screw you facebook....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alain57:
i didn't know that, do you have a source ?

BTW the synching menu is there, but the facebook app get one error... so i guess its not really that google forbid something, but that facebook did an error...

I really don't belive google will play that kind of game, and make the android customer unhappy...

Android always gave their user the choice (see flash...)

if Android forbid Facebook sync, apple could use this...

and there are FAR more facebook users than flash sites :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
You can google for this information pretty easily. Facebook and Google has had this high-profile fight since earlier this year.

Google is obviously trying to put the pressure on Facebook to be more open with their data, but not really succeeding since probably over 90% of Android users aren't even affected by this anyway. Most OEM flavours of Android such as Sense and TouchWiz still support Facebook syncing. If you want Facebook syncing with your People app you can use an app like FriendCaster instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
When you say contact sync, do you mean that you can see Facebook statuses in the People app? If so, wouldn't it be easier to just go to Facebook app? You can do/see much more stuff (Facebook-related) in the Facebook app than in the People app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
I dont know about Nexus, but I have HD2 and CM7 ROM and everything syncs....so I suppose stock ROM on Nexus doesnt support facebook syncing but others do/will
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Most people want contact syncing with Facebook as a lot of people list their phone numbers in Facebook and to pull profile pictures from Facebook to use as contact photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Lol @ you

Unless they fix it you can use this program if you want the pictures youll just have to add the contacts info from facebook yourself

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhollington:
This actually disappeared in a Gingerbread update (2.3.3) for the Nexus S back in February or March, IIRC. Probably not at all surprising therefore that it's not in ICS :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
The Nexus One still supports this feature, even with the latest Gingerbread update from Google. The latest CyanogenMod ROMs also still do this on the Nexus One. I believe that Google's reasoning there was that the device came with the ability, so they would allow it to stay.

I really wish Facebook would just update their app to use the proper API. I used SyncMyPix and it worked well enough, but it would be nice if Facebook could just do it properly.

A word of warning about Friendcaster... all info I could find says that Friendcaster pulls all your (possibly hundreds of) Facebook friends into your phone's contacts. I didn't want this. I only wanted to sync with my existing contacts, like I was able to do on my Nexus One. SyncMyPix did this pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
What on Earth are you talking about? lol

From the customer perspective: They get nothing but rave reviews.

From a personnel perspective: They get nothing but rave reviews.

Their employees love them, their customers love them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
What a load of crap. Google masquerades their bull open policy too. They're both self absorbed companies fighting over who gets to steal your information.

Facebook is sitting on the mother load of personal information and Google wants to get at that information.

Google put a wrench in Facebook's app in a shameless attempt to push Google+.

Hey Guys,

It's the age old problem that I can't seem to solve this time. Because the the awesomeness of the 10c apps, I wanted to buy a bunch today. I'm now stuck at "starting download...", but it seems to affect the paid apps only. I've tried clearing the cache from CWM and the market to no avail.

Phone: Nexus One

ROM: Latest CM7 nightly

SD-EXT: 1GB

It's been working fine for a long time until just now. Randomly one of the applications decided to download and install (Jelly Defense), but my other ones are still stuck.

EDIT:

SOLVED: This time I did the same thing, cleared the cache from CWM, and from the market, but I also cleared the dalvik cache and that did the trick.

I would just pass on it, if he is not willing to prove to you that it works other than the initial boot then it's probably not worth it. I would want to see the stock battery and check the moisture indicator.
