This one came with my Lenovo Yoga Book. I have accidentally zapped it and now, on google play it is a paid app for me. How can I restore it? Should I fully restore the yoga book? It gets even stranger than that. Although it came as a stock app with the device, it is not listed on "My Apps" on google play. How come?

I purchased a few apps on my g tablet and re purchased a few I had already bought before realizing the market wasn't showing apps that I had purchased. I then did a test:
I bought an app
Removed the app
Used the market to try to download the app again
And the market wants me to buy the app AGAIN!!!
What can I do to fix this?
I'm running TnT Lite.
Does Vegan have this problem as well?

Are you purchasing an app for the first time? If you buy something for the first time, then immediately uninstall (within 15 minutes), then you returned the app. The 2nd purchase will be final and you will not be able to refund, thus it will remain in your library of apps tied to that specific Gmail account.
If some apps aren't showing, try this additional Market fix (in addition to the standard Market fix)

No I did not refund the app.
Example:
I bought beautiful widgets on my samsung epic.
Beautiful widgets does not show as purchased on the market app in the tablet.
So I purchased beautiful widgets on the tablet.
Now I re-flashed a ROM onto my tablet and market will not let me download beautiful widgets. It wants me to buy it again.
Make sure you are logged into the Google account from which you made the purchase. That's all I can think of.
I have purchased apps and have never had an issue like you've described - they travel to every tablet I log into and can be downloaded. That includes my GTAB with TNT Lite.
I honestly don't remember where I purchased them, but it was probably on my GTablet, most likely. I would also suggest verifying that the Google ID you used to purchase them is the ID being used on the GTablet. Also, my purchased apps always show up even before I do the Market fix.
Lastly, try this: https://market.android.com/account
You should see every app you've ever downloaded for your Google ID, including the purchased ones.
I decided to try Vegan since the market wasn't working with TnT, so I installed clockwork mod, reformatted the SD partition to 2048, installed Vegan (without the supplement) and tried the market.
Now the market remembers all my purchased apps, but the market was limited (not all apps were showing).
So I then installed titanium backup and did the titanium backup market fix. I rebooted and now everything is working.
I am choosing not to install the Vegan supplement because I read that the market isn't working correctly with it.
Hope this helps someone.
Hello,
Some time ago, I purchased an Onda V712 7" tablet; just a cheap, rooted Android tablet to tinker with. After disabling the Chinese apps, I later installed some of the Google Apps, including Google Talk. Recently, I upgraded the tablet's firmware and overlooked that it was a destructive firmware. Because I was/am foolish, I didn't store the APK I had used to install Google Talk (nor do I recall where I got it), and on the assumption that any APK that I could get was fungible. For the reinstall, I used the method described:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
And the Google Talk app that I installed the second time wasn't the same one that I had installed the first time. The first application was great; it had a double-pane layout with the contacts in a sidebar. It looked similar to this:
http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/gadgets/Motorola/Xoom/talk2.jpg
However, the subsequent app that I installed (via XDA Developers) looked more like a stretched-to-fit version of Google Talk on an Android phone:

Having poked around the settings for the second app, I wasn't able to find a way in which it would render in the layout depicted in the first one.
Are there really two Google Talk apps (ostensibly one for tablets and one for phones), or had I been mistaken and installed an outdated or improper version? If I may be opportunistic, I would appreciate it if anybody could point me to that version I had been using.
Thanks very much
I think above one is running in Tablet mode and bellow one is Phone mode. But I don't know how to change the mode.
Sorry I missed, in the end you already mentioned about this.

i never checked Talk before I updated to rooted 1.5.5.
After the update it was on the tablet, but only crashing.
I tried the modaco installer, but it does not work.
Can you explain which one you used?
I do not care too much about the dimensions, as long as video calling works
thanks
Hi All,
I've had my Nook STR for about a year now, and had instantly rooted it with TouchNooter. I did this in order to get the best out of my reading experience (mostly it was that its promised PDF reader SUCKED!). So in the process I also had my own tablet. When I received an iPad this winter I stopped using my Nook, but now I want to give it to my wife so she can have an ereader.
Now Here's my Problem
I decided to restore and reroot my Nook so that it could have a clean slate (it was draining its battery too quickly and had too many apps). When I went back to Google Play to download Kindle it wouldn't allow it saying it was already installed. Instead, I had to get it from the Market. Now the crux of the issue is that when I try and read a book that we bought on Amazon it is saying I need to upgrade my Kindle app, which goes back to Google Play issue.
Anyone have experience with any of these issues and have any solutions?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a very frustrating problem. I have an NVIDIA Shield tablet that has been recalled due to a battery problem. I have the replacement tablet here and when I go through trying to set it up I do not see the backup of the old tablet as an available source to restore onto the new tablet.
I have verified that Android Device Manager is enabled AND that my old tablet shows up in my Google account. I can also locate the device from my Google account.
Even with all of that working, I still do not see my old tablet listed as a source to restore onto my new tablet. (I do see several other Android devices that I own in the list.)
I have attempted clearing the cache from Google Play Services but that did not work either. I also thought that maybe I was missing an update to Google Play Services but I can't seem to find it in the store.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
TIA!
CRAP!
Just saw I put this under development! Sorry!
Hope a mod can move it to the proper place! Thanks!
I bought a used - factory reset Asus prim TF201 and entered my Google account. I plan on just using it to display slideshows of travel pics using a digital photo app connected to Google Photos. For some reason I can't access Google Play. I get "server error" message and retry button but never can connect. WiFi is working as I am getting emails.
Also can't access YouTube. There i get a message "there was a problem starting up" "check your network connection and system time".
I've checked everything, cleared caches in multiple Google services, removed and reinstalled my Google account, force stopped apps, connected it to my Verizon phone wifi hotspot, changed tablet time from automatic and back again, with no success. If I can't connect to Google Play then I can't download slideshow app and Google Photos. I've tracked every thread I have found on how to fix this but no luck.
I'm communicating with seller and will likely return tablet.
Anything else to try to fix this?
Thanks

i think its FRP lock but idk i never have it
Which Android version are you using? Last official firmware (Android 4.1) is no longer supported by google. Although I use newer version on my TF201, I had similar problems with play services on some phones with Android 4.x.
Mine is stock TF201 now running 4.1.1. May I ask how difficult it is to install new version of android so that Google Play and Googl Photos will work for me? What version are you now running on your TF201. Is it something you'd be willing to talk me through?
Thanks

I use android 11 and 8
Couple of questions as I have no knowledge on how to do this.
1) Since I would want access to Google Photos and Google Play after upgrading ROM - either android 11 or 8 as you have - would these Google functions work? I thought I read on some thread that after you flash a new ROM that you lose access to these Google type functions. If that were the case how would I download various Android apps after flashing to new rom?
2) I have asked the photo slide show developer (app I use is Fotoo) if it could be sideloaded (I've never done that with an app) onto my tablet and I would just take all my Google Photos and copy them to internal storage on my tablet so Google Photos was unneeded but he hasn't responded yet.
3) Obviously it would be cleaner to flash a new ROM - 11 or 8 IF both would then access Google Plaay and Photos - but from reading the descriptions of how to do this it may be beyond my tech abilities. I guess I have nothing to lose as current tablet running 4.1.1 is not of much use since it appears I have no chance of getting it to access Play or Photos since 4.1.1 is not supported any longer by these Google service. BTW, my Gmail comes in fine on tablet though stock browser is flaky.
4) I've looked for a simple step by step procedure on how to do this but some of the XDA posts with links to the necessary files are 7 years old and the links lead nowhere. like this one
[Guide/tutorial] Asus Transformer Prime/TF201 stock to Android 7.1 Nougat
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL] Asus Transformer Prime to Android 7.1/LineageOS 14.1 [GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Asus Transformer Prime/TF201 stock to Android 7.1 Nougat/LineageOS 14.1 This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Asus Transformer Prime...

5) If you are willing to walk me through this process I'd be happy to pay you some for your efforts.
Just not sure I grasp how to do this and where to find all necessary files.
Thanks for considering.
