Oh yea someone will do it through test point probably

I'm curious about what someone said that when they sim unlocked there phone they then had downloader status yes

Meaning he could unlock his downloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krilok:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I got mine branded from an operator in Spain, unlocked it with the codes provided officially from Sony themselves but still bootloader is unlockable... :-(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] festa20:
Do you mean bootloader is still locked not unlockable
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 18lama:
Thanks for that. I just checked and got a "yes"! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krilok:
Yes, simlock is gone, but bootloader is still unlockable... Sigh...

im just wondering if sony have patched this exploit what we have used on ARC ...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] davidht:
I am wondering, if I debranded mi bootloader locked S by flashing a stock generic firmware, can't I just flash the same FW with the rooted version? Forgive me if it's a dumb question, I am new to all this. :-!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
No because you need to flash the pre rooted firmware with fast boot which needs the bootloader unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LukeLeBron:
Bought a note from a fellow xda-er, and I find him to completely trustworthy when he said it worked perfect for him, but when I received it, I cannot get the spen to work no matter what I do. Ive tried pressing the button, not pressing it, tap and hold, short taps, long taps, and absolutely no response. touch screen works flawlessly. according to the receipt, this thing is less than a week old lol. Its my first experience with a note, and I love it, but Id also like to use the spen xD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I do not have an att account, so Im not sure what they would do if I went in and asked them about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slackercow:
i have no idea what it could be... :confused:

try a factory reset
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LukeLeBron:
Forgot to mention I tried that as well. lol...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
did you do a full factory reset ?.....do you know if it has been rooted?....I would check a root checker app just to be safe there could be apps frozen...and if not.... do a full wipe...uninstall the app reinstall....and there's also a press button our our pens not sure why but if u press the pen button and hold down on screen to should engage a screen shot...see if those things work....ill check back in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I have had issues when changing the density but that's about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LukeLeBron:
Yes I tried all that, but it didnt fix it.

I really appreciate all the help, but I took it to the att store, and got a hold of the original owner, I explained the situation to him and he was perfectly okay with okaying them to give me a replacement at no charge. So att replaced It on the spot. :) absolutely no problems now lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
awesome .....now you have a sweet brand new one,,good job...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LukeLeBron:
Thanks lol. I'm still kinda curious as to what was wrong with it though xD oh well

Archer posted an easier solution a few post down, to this problem.

Make sure to thank him a few posts down.

Old Method:

Prerequisites : Desktop/Laptop computer Browser with ability to "inspect element"

Must have a valid credit card and a registered wallet account for this to work

And must be able to follow directions :)

Thank - jollyb for Finding/Translating THIS fix he found on a croatian forum.

1. Open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)

2. 'Right-Click' on "PURCHASED and select Inspect element

3. Above the selected row you'll see [data-ispurchased="true"]

4. Change "true" to "false" and press ENTER

(Having problems with downloading another app? Change the inspect element back to "true", app should start downloading now)

5. Click PURCHASED that will open the popup to buy via Google Wallet so you can purchase the app.

Tested on Google Chrome browser, please post if you've had success with/on different browsers.

What would people use this for?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
People who have downloaded apps from Amazon app store for the free app of the day, and now since the Android Market has been updated to the Play Store, alot of those amazon apps are showing as purchased in Play Store but aren't downloadable or able to be purchased at all since it's linked to your Google account as I guess a pirated app or something.

MoPhoACTV Initiative
[Motorola Photon 4G] prezmater:
Awesome. I've been wondering how to do this. I traded phones with someone a while back and made a backup of all apps before I wiped the phone and I have been unable to purchase ADW Launcher EX because I restored the backup and then the market said it was purchased already but wouldn't let me download it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I also found that if you uninstall the market updates (temporarily) and go back to the older style market, you can properly purchase them, even if it said "purchased" when using the newer market versions.

The amazon free app a day is a great example of what causes this problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sliverr7x:
Man this is so awsome, it works like a charm and solved many headaches of not being able to update stuff..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Archer:
Nice find - a lot of people have been complaining about this problem recently.

For anyone who doesn't want to do the above, simply copy and paste this code into the address bar when you're on the relevant Google Play page...

javascript:document.getElementsByClassName("buy-link")[0].setAttribute("data-ispurchased", false)

You could create a bookmark of that if you expect to need it often.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dirtyreturn:
For anyone who doesn't want to do the above, simply copy and paste this code into the address bar when you're on the relevant Google Play page...

In your Desktop Browsers address bar.

UPDATE: after posting the button appeared ... guess it wouldn't hurt to read, sure this is described somewhere around here =P
[Motorola Photon 4G] moisaal:
Im experiencing difficulty with this. I tried using both Chrome and firefox browsers, but to no avail. Chrome sent me to a google page when i pressed enter and firefox didnt change "purchased" to the price...At what exact point do i use this hack. Any and all help is much appreciated
[Motorola Photon 4G] Copacaba:
The script didnt work, however, changing the value to "false" did the trick. Many thanks! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
Thanks, I keep getting notifications that I have apps that I need to update but it won't let me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I have that as well but it is for apps that were purchased/downloaded from the Amazon App Store which is why they won't update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jwds1978:
Using Firefox on-device, I entered this into the address bar while viewing the product page. 'Purchased' didn't change to the price, but clicking 'Purchased' did allow me to complete the purchase as per usual just the same though.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Doctor Phate:
And if you guys wanna just get rid of the "Purchased" status on the Play Store you can perform the topic's workaround (buying the app) from your pc and then while it's downloading on your phone you can cancel the process and press the "Refund" button.

You can even keep the sideloaded app installed on your phone!

This way you'll have the app set to the "right status" ;)

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] shaggyskunk:
You can also try clearing the cache in the market under manage applications, if that is not enough, clear everything (you can restore from TB) after... Worked for me when I got something from getjar.

Mine is a Google-side bug.. I can do anything from the phone but nothing will ever work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shaggyskunk:
Are you saying that, it's a bug with play store? Are you getting an error message?

Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doctor Phate:
No, not getting any error :)

My situation is this: I've installed several sideloaded apps from getjar, amazon and (I'm honest) also some warez for some applications I couldn't test in 15 mins.

Dunno how but lately almost all theese apps got stuck into my account (I mean that they're shown as Purchased in the Play Store) and since I'm not using them anymore it bothers me a lot to see them in my app list.

Any workaround from my phone (involving clearing caches, or detaching with titanium) didn't work, that's why I had to find my own solution :)

Hope it helps you guys!
[Motorola Photon 4G] shaggyskunk:
Did you clear data as well as cache?

I also had a few apps that I got from getjar... That were paid apps on the market & like you I would see update available... But it would not let me because the market "thought" that they were purchased... So when I tried to update, it didn't work.

Clearing both cache & data worked for me..

The only other thing that you could try... Would be to copy the vending.apk to your external sd card (you could try just moving it). Delete the market from your system. Reboot.. Reinstall the market... Give that a shot.. I was able to use TB to restore my account settings after.

I'm assuming that you also tried to just select "uninstall", for the apps that you did get from the market?

Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doctor Phate:
How long ago did you fix your apps by clearing data and cache? It's won't work for me :\

I'm afraid that "local" solutions on the phone will not be working.. as long as I can see as Purchased some apps I've never bought from the WEB Play Store, imho it means that there's no way I can make Google "understand" (using my phone) I've never bought those apps.

That's why I tought about the "buy + refund" trick.. this way google server gets a sort of rehash and restarts considering my app as "not purchased"

Dunno if I was clear enough :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] shaggyskunk:
I hear what you are saying.... If you tried un installing the market.. Try this, but I'm not sure if it will work?

Set up a new email address, sign out of Gmail

Clear your cache & data again.. Go to the market use the new email address & see if you can purchase whichever apps, then try the refund route?

One other thing that you could try... Go to settings / manage applications & uninstall them there... Reboot your phone & see where you're at?

[Motorola Photon 4G] XT69:
You can be sure that none of these will work, I even moved to another phone, and it still has Swiftkey X marked as Purchased... it's burned into my Google account...

the only way to get rid of the problem, and buy them properly is the way it's described here :) so once again: it is not related to the market app, neither the phone...

also, why the hell would he set up a new mail address, if this easy method with chrome inspect just works like a charm?

Sorry to resurrect a really old thread but I am now encountering this issue with several of my apps (Swype in particular). The web version of the Play Store has been updated since this fix was posted, is there a way to still get this to work with some other inspect element change?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone managed to make a video call over Skype from Ray without using headphones? I've been facing this problem ever since I got my Ray (4 months already) - looks like the speaker is too close to the mic, and that causes some strong feedback which in turn creates unbearable noise in the mic. Is there any solution to this? And has anyone experienced it at all?

I must note that when I use any headset (apart from original SE Bluetooth set, which is a different problem), the problem is of course gone, because there's no feedback in that case. Also, this problem only occurs on video calls, i.e. only when Loudspeaker is on. If I'm making audio-only call (that is, when sound comes from the earpiece on the phone and is silent enough not to reach the microphone), there is also no problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Azzbreaker:
yea, have same thing on my ray. Its all about filters, we have it at our pc's for mic's, u know this noise options ... but i think its to hard for a phones ))

Короче не пруха )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
I made several Skype calls using the cam or speakerphone, no problems here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
azz: this is actually trivial and modern phones do it every day. The Ray even has 2 mics on different places which are used to filter out noise from speech. I'm not sure why it doesn't work well on your Ray, though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Taverius:
You have to turn the nose filtering on yourself though ... or at least it's not on by default in the ICS beta ... been a while since GB for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Томица:
I think I have fixed this, thanks to replies of all of you guys. Try going to:

Settings > Sound

and turn off the xLOUD setting. I've tried it on three conversations this morning and it seems to be okay, but I'd like to know if you can improve your results too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Azzbreaker:
Ok lemme see. Iam still trying different rom's on my ray, since ibeats in miui not so perfect, iam taked repack from 4pda to check it and now can test with xloud too, coz in Miui u havent those options

Hi

I need help.. I've encountered a problem last week that forced me to reflash stock images , see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1461658

And now I fear the same problem is coming again.

When I update multiple apps in market, I'm taken back to the login screen (vm crash? don't know enough android) and after trying to slide to unlock, reboot

I've posted my logcat here (in 3 parts, 280kb)

http://paste.debian.net/159757/

http://paste.debian.net/159758/

http://paste.debian.net/159759/

This log shows:

I restarted my xoom, restarted my router.

It gets a connection, I go in googleplay, click update all (3 packages: titanium, google earth and another one I can't remember)

Sent to login, no wireless connection, trying to unlock, reboot after 30s (watchdog probably)

The tablet is freshly reinstalled, I have like 30 known apps from the market. I have eos 81 but problem was also there on 75. and latest gapps. 216Mhz-1000 and no wifiN.

Don't know what to do. :confused:

If more info is needed, ask, I'm sure this will happen again at the next update.

Thank you
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
Did you do a full wipe-factory data reset before you flashed EOS 81 and GAPPS?

If it crashes after you try to update those 3 packages ... don't update them.

Backup your apps with Titanium -Unroot/re-root - reinstall your apps one by one. It might be a problem app -
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
From the link I gave

"In CWM, Factory reset didn't work,"

Happens with all updates

Here are the apps:

Wifi Analyzer

Wireless Thether for Root

XDA Premium

Zen Pinball THD

Only two apps running: orbot (that I didn't have installed before) and sshdroid.

I could yes although I'm sceptic it would create googleplay crash and tablet reboot.

edit: I just erased userdata and only reinstalled the strict minimum, that is.. terminal emulator :) let's see. not sure how I will see the problem if I have so few apps meaning so few updates :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotgunPR:
I've had this exact same problem since I updated my (STOCK) Xoom WiFi to ICS (4.0.2).

When updating multiple apps in Google Market (now Google Play, same problem) if screen timeouts (I have mine set to 1 minute), if I press power button to re-enable the screen... BAM! reboot. I updated yesterday to ICS 4.0.4 (as I mentioned, STOCK... never rooted) and tried to update about 20 apps, when screen timeouts I immediately press the power button to re-enable the screen... REBOOT. It continued the update that was interrupted when it rebooted tho.

Don't know what to do... This is stock and I do not want to root it if I can avoid it.

What is the big deal with ICS themes?

Every launcher has one and every locker. People go gaga over them. It even makes the front page when something gets an ICS theme.

ICS looks just like every other version of Android to me just different icons.

What is the big deal? Am I missing something?
[General Questions and Answers] Overstew:
It looks really neat, but I think you're right. The hype of it is a little too much.

I mean, I like the theme, but I also like to change things around a bit. There's not many other themes in the Epic 4G Touch section other than ICS (in fact, there's 3-4 ICS themes in there.) lol!

I want ICS for the new OS benefits, the theme is nice, but I'd likely change it myself.

EDIT: I think most people just want the newest thing.

What is the big deal with "Placing your thread in the proper place"?

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
Thanks for advising that I read the rules. I have read them. A while back. Which of 1 through 15 did I violate?

As for my post, it was more of a rhetorical question.

Am I to draw the conclusion that if a question is asked in a post that it should only be done in this section? {note: this latest question was posted AFTER thread had been moved into the Q&A Section}

I was only reading the forum descriptions and General Discussion says "Anything that involves all of the phones and doesn't fit in any of the other fora."

Since this forum doesn't specify "rhetorical" questions, I felt it better fit the General Forum. My bad and sorry for my mistake. I'll remember not to use the question mark in the future if it causes confusion.

BTW, there is another post in the General Forum where a guy asks a question.
