[Q] Google Play Store Developer account suspended, what should i do now? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I bought a google play developer license to publish apps on the play store, and put in like 5 apps on the play store, all with good ratings and good number of downloads.
Recently i made an app for pinterest, since there was none and it got a good number of downloads and people liked it. But then the app got suspended and so did my account.
I tried contacting google, but no response from them. So now i don't know if my account will ever get reinstated or not?
Should i just make a new account? does anyone here have a similar experience? Please let me know as to what i should do?

any idea? anyone?

any news on this? I am having some major issues with my Play account as well....

Only Google will be able to tell you for sure. No one here will be able to help you as it is all on them,

Google should let you know if account is suspended. Are none of your apps available in play store at all?
If not then google are only ones who can help you.

Nothing from google, sent them an email, no reply from them. Basically the account is just banned and i am assuming only way out of this is to just open a new account with a new email address.

Be careful doing this. If google catches you any hope of getting your account back will be gone and both accounts will be banned for good

Zelendel is right. If your account was suspended because of your apps, which is only reason I can imagine that makes sense, as soon as they are uploaded to new account its probable they would be flagged by google.
It seems odd they wouldn't tell you why though as I had an app removed by google from us market because in description I used a three letter sentence mattel copyrighted (I didn't know as not in America) but they never suspended my account though so perhaps they mistakenly believe your code was some form of malware (their bouncer checks apps automatically and may have made a mistake) and that may be why?
Google are meant to explain why an account is suspended in an email to you. So somewhere you should have one. Check http://betterandroid.wordpress.com/...ccount-was-suspended-and-we-had-no-ideas-why/ to read about a developer who had similar experience. In their case it seems they were mistaken for a similar named publisher.

Problem is when asked the reason, i only get an automated email which says
"Thank you for your note.
Your Google Play Publisher account has been suspended due to prior
violations of our terms of service by this or associated accounts. You may
view these terms here: two links to policies
Please note that Google Play Publisher suspensions are associated with
developers, and may span multiple account registrations and related Google
services.
Please do not attempt to register a new developer account. Any subsequent
registrations without an explicit reinstatement will be closed and your
developer account fee not refunded.
We are unable to provide further details regarding this issue. We
recommend your utilizing an alternative application distribution system
and payment method for future orders."
So its like pretty much the account will never be reinstated. I must say i am really disappointed by Google's Help system. There is no way at all of contacting a real person from Google who could help you out in such a scenario. All their contact things respond with automated emails.

Google Play Store Developer account suspended, will I be paid?
I too had my account suspended today, 5 days before pay day. Will I be paid??
They make no mention about this.
Thanks!

yes you should receive payment in full for erything sold prior to suspension. At least I did

Thanks
Thank you so much for the fast reply!!
Do you know if the same is true for Apple?
I was also suspended from being an Apple Developer and am supposed to be paid on Sept 6, 2012.

I do not know, I'm a theme developer so all my iPhone products are sold from my website.

As far as I know, when Google suspends your account, it means your account is CLOSED. At least mine was. Good luck!

sorry for digging up an old thread, but my account just got suspended today based on the third suspension of one of my apps. Has anyone had any luck getting their accounts reinstated? I've submitted an appeal but haven't heard back yet

I never heard back or got my account reinstated. Your best bet is to open a new developer account with a new Gmail Id

[Q] bypassing exchange security?

Will this work for stock email on evo3d?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729753
There is an app called enhanced email which will work. It will cost you less then $10 but when configuring the app for your server, you can 'uncheck' security policies and you will truly bypass your PIN requirement.
I tried to post information a few days ago but some douche that decided to be mommy or daddy or whatever decided instead to posts answers the OP, to instead posts his displeasure with bypassing the PIN and why..who cares..
I am answering your question and this is the site/info:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qs.enhancedemail
It works well. I am using a custom version of the email.apk that has to be pushed and has security disabled. Search for that and I will try and find that one too..
Good luck..
Does this bypass the require device encryption as well?
I tried the OP but got an error. IDK if it's worth my $10 for that other app. I guess we pay with time rather than money...
Instead of starting a new thread is thought is ask here... For whatever reason my exchange account does not work with the 3D but worked fine on my OG EVO. Any thoughts?
Enhanced email will not work as my exchange account has to have device encryption.

My company has tight security and requires PIN and encryption. Lockpicker will not allow you setup the account if your device does not meet the requirements in the first place. Android currently doesnt have native encryption so the exchange server needs to be fooled. I use Touchdown, its $20 but it works great. I cannot comment on the other products mentioned. It has a 30 day trial before you have to buy anything.

Haxsync alternative

Been using this app for years but lately it seemed to have stopped and I see dev gave up on it..... what does everybody use ? or any way to get this working again ???

Sort of in the same boat but haven't really been too motivated to replace it, but just for context, the reason for the stoppage seems to be that Facebook retired V1 of its public API on April 30 2015.
In theory anyone could take up the task of updating the haxsync source but afaik it hasn't generated any interest from a willing and able party.
Damnnnn sucks, which somebody would get it working again
Damnnn Surprised no other dev has taken up on this....... Haxsync had a nice fanbase and it was a paid app also...... Anybody found any alternative ?

In May 2015, Facebook dumped it's old API which supported getting a complete list of all your friends from within an app. The new API does not support this. The only friends it can see now are friends who have the same app. Facebook basically broke every app that does what Haxsync does. This is why you don't see any new ones.
I'm not an android dev. I'm just repeating what I was told. I do wonder why my dialer app on my LG G3 is still able to sync all photos, though. I think that is done automatically through the Facebook app. Maybe it has more permissions allowed through Facebook than standard apps. I don't know.

Google Play - changing license?

I have reached out to the dev via other means, but so far no luck, so am trying my luck here.
So, situation is basically that I have a Google Apps account, which I intend to get rid off for various reasons. However problem I've bought majority of my apps on it. Unfortunately you can't transfer these apps out. Google have basically said I need to contact each app dev and try and resolve it with them, which I what I've been doing. Some devs have offered refunds (basically I buy the app through my gmail account and upon purchase they refund my Google Apps account purchase). I've tried reaching out to @oasisfeng through the official channels, but to no avail, hence posting here to see if I can get the dev via XDA.
Basically want to see if @oasisfeng can do a refund on the Greenify donation app that I bought on my Google Apps account. I know its at his discretion.
Just request refund in Google Payments (Wallet), with the new order ID in the reason field. I'll refund the old one for you.
NOTE: Google closes refund for order older than 18 moths (or 2 years, I don't remember that).

Thanks for that. I bought the app 30 Sept 2013 so just under two years ago.
@browngeek Are you purchasing the apps again on your new account?
However, I need a refund as well. Greenify donation package doesn't work after removing Gapps.

Yep it works.
When you say removing "Gapps" are you talking about Google apps on android (gmail, etc) or Google Apps account?

Greenify donation pack requires the Play Store to function for Google to check the donation status. It is Google's policy.
You then managed to procure Greenify from "other sources" which is causing you problems (per your various posts in the sub threads). What do you expect the Dev to do when you unilaterally removed Gapps? How is the Dev responsible for your actions?

Sorry, if I was not clear. My post was not addressed to you. You can request a refund as the Dev had already agreed.

No worries. Already resolved the issue with the dev a while back.

googless lineage

as much as I love NOS, I hate google even more
anyone tried this?
any impressions?
Yeah it is microg. Block google from stealing your data and provide some more battery(in theory). It is a known thing.

yeah, but this one is integrated into rom (lineage 14.1) <> should save same hassle making it work.....?
does it work, deserves a chance to abandon "legacy" NOS, anybody tried?
kenzo is "officially" supported :fingers-crossed:
I just figured out that they make builds for every device seperatly with built in microg. You can easily deodex the offical rom and apply signature spoofing patch but this seems also quite nice to me.
Thanks for this share.
What is microg? And what's the function? ?

f*ck google > they became as fascistic as apple
Heres what I hate.
I hate that I can not check and disassociate my frickin ebay app from remembering nightmares that a violated equifax credit report had to delete by the seven years law, as it automatically sussed from my device who I am somehow.
And Google, despite my having to permit them to funk every orifice my phone gots, doesn't easily show me a way to block ebay's violation of my privacy via the microsoft account that is somehow linked to the google account.
And whats more I dont wanna have to permit sms sending for the play services.
I hate the equifax certs. I hate the other certs from ssn thieves.
