[Q] Paid apps on Google Android market

Hi!
Early times, when FroYo was on our devices there was a way to browse your paid apps on your Android Market. Name have change and now this Play market do not support it. Even this very new version, what we got.
Am I so stupid that I cannot find my way to search or browse my already paid apps or how you solve this? There would be a opportunity for 3rd part application for this. And best place to give hint is just here, on XDA Developers forum.
Or just give me a link to this app(s), what you have already found.
Uh, I came fast back to write more info. There seems to huge threads about asking lost or missing paid apps when installed a custom ROM. No no, this is not my problem. I can see my paid apps, but there is no search button or value/ string on the list what Google Android Play market order.

Isnt that just:
Open play store > Press menu button > My apps?

In my case it shows just the apps, what I have installed to my phone.
I am looking a way how to search my paid apps on Google Play market. Or an app, what can do the same.
If you mean above PC browser case, then I get huge numbers of apps. First are apps currently installed on my phone. It means the Android OS or firmware version what I am currently using. Below - early firmwares - is the list of all apps what I have tryed, uninstalled etc. and the list is so huge that in my case it could show only start from A to letter E only. So, if my paid app start with letter F - Z, I cannot see anymore it. And browsing between A to E is terrible story too.
If Google Play market have similar value like File Managers have: name, day, type, size etc. it could easy to find your paid apps. Or a search manager or similar.

The Play Market is just crap when it comes to things like this. Several major tech sites have commented upon it, but Google seems to have no intention whatsoever to fix it.

Now, swipe screen left.

In Gmail usually they will send the Google Play receipt #s of all the purchases you made.

I think you do not know what you are about talking. Your guide just show what apps you have installed on your phone: freeware, shareware, n day trial and PAID apps. I am talking PAID apps. And the only place you can find them is here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transactions
Try first and reply after if you don't believe me.

[Q] Amazon App

I have a quick question for my fellow Verizon S6 Edge users.
I use the Amazon app quite a bit and when going in to actually use it for the first time today it didn't open. So, I went on the Google Play store to see if there was an update or something, and to my surprise I didn't see it in my list of installed apps?!?!? Went into my application manager and it's definitely installed. I went to uninstall it and reinstall and of course it was one of the preinstalled apps and can only be disabled... So, after disabling I go into the play store and search Amazon to find "Amazon Shopping" app and it was the only one there for the actual store. Now, is that a new app from Amazon??? The self titled "Amazon" app is no longer even on the app store, yet it sits installed on my phone but disabled.
Just wanted to know if the main Amazon app works for you guys, or if you now have to Amazon apps because the first no longer works. Trying to see if it's just me or not.
I've rebooted, but since it's a preinstalled app that's not working... I'm not sure what else I can do if it's something I'm doing wrong. Wiped data in the application manager, re-enabled all the amazon apps that were pre installed to see if that helped and nothing. Just think it's weird that it doesn't even show up when searching for it in the app store, just the "Amazon Shopping" app shows up.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Works fine for me, ive updated to current version and have purchased with it etc....

Hmm, weird. Well I went on APKMirror.com and got the latest Amazon apk and updated it that way and it worked, that app that is... it still didn't show up in my app store for updates and what not. Also, it seems that because I have android wear installed it's giving me the "Amazon Shopping" app. They both work the same but with one exception, the shopping version works with a smart watch with some sort of voice commands. Just didn't want both installed if they did the same thing, no need for wasted space.
Thanks!

I noticed when I opened Amazon for the first time on this phone it made me log in through the Amazon App Store, which was strange to me. After I logged in through the App Store, the regular Amazon App updated and then it worked.

The pre-installed Amazon app is the "complete" version which you can't get through Google Play store due to Google changing the rules last fall. See here http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ay-store-because-of-its-appstore-integration/ But you can still get it directly from Amazon and still kept up to date by Amazon.
The only app in the Play store itself is shopping only, hence the name.

Google Play apps on child profile

Is it possible to share apps installed via the Google Play Store with a child profile? They work fine on my main (adult) profile, but I can only figure out how to share apps installed via the Amazon store with a child profile.

Does screen pinning work on the fire maybe a alternative if its possible

hoping somebody can find a way too do this . would be great since i have some google play apps i purchased for my son.

Now that we have root, you can download your app, back it up with titanium backup, then re-install it your child's profile.

Do you have more detailed instructions on how to achieve this? I assume we have to root the device first?

Before parting with the £4 for the pro version, will this definitely work? The Child Profile on the Amazon Fire looks heavily locked down and doesn't appear to use a normal launcher. I'm after getting Kodi on to the kids profiles but not having much luck so far. I'm rooted already and using Google Now as my launcher on the adult profiles.
Thanks
Mike

It is easily possible like this:
Install CM 12.1 --> Flash Gapps (Pico .zip) or install Amazon Appstore --> Install any/all apps you want --> Now go to settings app and create your childs profile --> Check any apps you want to share with your childs profile --> boot into kids profile --> PROFIT!

Are you able to get the app to "lock" so the kid can't just hit the home button and it exits the app?
I've tried a few different apps and they all require you to enable "Apps with usage access" in order to lock them, which you can't seem to access on the Fire.

Any way to do this with out flashing CM? Not possible on current 5.1.1 yet and really don't want to change it on my kids tablet. I see TiBu on the Amazon Store (but doesn't look like the real Dev and it costs $). I got them loaded on the adult profile, and I really don't want him to waste his time gaining levels again. Thanks.
---Just an FYI the Titanium Backup on the Amazon store seems legit (but my previous key didn't work with it). Still no luck because you cant restore without changing the settings to allow instillation from unknown sources which you cant do in the Kids Mode.

Also curious on installing Google play apps on kids profiles

Lollipop launcher works quite well. You can determine which apps to show in the drawer and lock down the main screen.

Is it accurate to say that no one has figured out how to do this in the amazon kids environment?

I tried it, but now Amazon doesn't allow you to change the launcher so the option to "lock" the home button doesn't work. It still works, but it shows an "action forbidden" screen, the shows the home screen for a few seconds, then re-launches the app. It's not an ideal solution, because a quick thinking youngster can simply launch the settings app in this interim period, and then go uninstall the app.
I just want to get YouTubeKids on my kids' profiles, but I'm not going to go through rooting etc. just for one app. For now, if they want to watch YouTubeKids, it must be at home where I can monitor it and I just log into my own profile and launch it.
I assume that it has something to do with those apps being linked somehow to amazon's app store, so if you figure out how to do that, then it may work.

i haven't, but the root process is quite simple - and is much better than worrying about amazon's lousy launcher. especially since it still shows my wife's trashy books along with my kids books.

[Q] Google Camera Missing in Play Store

Anybody else notice that Google Camera is missing from the Play Store? A Google search says this happened back in March, but should still be available to Nexus devices.
I'm not seeing it on my Nexus 6 running the TuPac lite 30D ROM. Curious if others can still see it.

Nope. Still at 560.
I think something may be screwy with my device on my Google account.
On the Play Store settings it shows as a Verizon Nexus 6 but it doesn't show at all on Android Device Manager nor the Android N beta sign up.

mine doesnt show on my device manager either(on my sgs4 the n6 shows up though, and i signed up for N. the odd thing is it does show up, if looking certain ways, but a search on thd play store app it doesnt show up here either. but.. if i go to the page of my installed google cam it shows up, or if i press a link on google via a search it shows up as well.

There was a discussion on the Google Camera missing from the Play Store here. In short, I believe they hid the app so it can update, but cannot be installed.

Strange. I only started noticing issues when I manually installed the first N beta. Don't remember if I signed up for the beta afterward or not but ran into these issues when going back to Marshmallow.

Makes sense, but if the app is installed, it should still appear in the Play Store, even if it's not available otherwise. If it weren't you wouldn't be able to update it, right? Curious about why they did this.

Google Play Services, which I reference in the other thread, cannot be searched for within the Play Store on device or PC. It automatically updates itself, and also does not appear in the list of installed apps. To find it on the Play Store on a PC, you have to know its package name (com.google.android.gms), perform a search for any other app, and replace that app's package name with the Google Play Services package name, in order to call it up.
Google Camera is easier to find. A search on the device won't pull up anything, but it does show up in the installed apps list on the Play Store. If you search on the PC, you'll find it there. You won't be able to install it however unless you have the right Nexus device (5X, 6, 6P, 9) and that Nexus device is apparently stock. Pure Nexus also shows the camera app as being incompatible, though we can install and use it without trouble.
As to why Google did this, I couldn't tell you. Unless it's in preparation for Android N. Currently I have the Android N camera app installed, but I had to get it from outside the Play Store.

I had this same issue. Thought it was just me

Prime Video doesn't work after mod of Fire HD 10

Hi there,
I'm sorry if similar question was asked before but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer yet. I got the latest version of Fire HD 10 and modded using latest version of Fire toolbox (9.2) which removed all Amazon apps and installed a nova launcher. Everything is working perfectly fine but when I tried to install prime video from play store, it doesn't let me. I have tried using a APK version of prime video, I tried installing amazon app store using APK as well still no luck.
I see that the Amazon app store and prime video both are actually installed in the apps settings but they're disabled n can't be enabled. I've taken some time to customise and install all my apps and probably wouldn't want to reset to factory settings unless that's the only option. Is there any way I can install the prime video app? Can it be done using toolbox without restoring to default settings. If so, how? .
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Grrrr
I was having the same problem.... Just go into manage everything Amazon on the toolkit and manually enable the apps you want.

Hi, I'm struggling with this problem too!
But the 'fix' isn't working for me.
I've enabled Prime Video in the Toolbox but it will not install from the Play Store and is showing as 'Currently Unavailable' the Amazon App Store?
What have I done wrong!!
Many thanks for any help...

Same problem as you. Go to "Manage Amazon Apps" then under "Manual" click "Advanced". There you see three tabs.
System Apps-User Apps-Disabled/Hidden Apps
click the tab "Disable/Hidden Apps"
Click "Prime Video" then on the top right corner click "Enable Selected".
Hope this helps

Just a heads up, you can't use the Amazon apps from the play store. Video, Kindle, ect have to be enabled and updated thru amazon

Never disabled Prime, but after modding with 30.2 toolbox couldnt download a video succesfully from Prime; started download, looked like it was working, but after few minutes got "download error". Fire ver 7.3.2.1 Factory reset, remodded, same result.
-------------------------------
SOLUTION (maybe): I downloaded the Amazon Prime Video for Windows app, went to the movie I was attempting to download there on my PC, and there was no option to download it (!) however... there was a message that read "you have reached the maximum number of copies of this video. Delete your other copy then you can download this video here". On the Fire HD it APPEARED to be downloading, or attempting to, and then an error message, but no real info as to what the actual issue was.
I did try downloading another video from Prime Video App on my Fire HD, and it DID, in fact, download it. So now I know it will download videos onto the tablet.
The (maybe) that I wrote above was because after I deleted my copy of the first video I wanted (Season 3 of Jack Ryan) from my phone, and tried downloading it to the Fire Tablet, it STILL gave me an error and didn't download the video, so I haven't figured that one out, yet. But I do know the app can download Prime Videos in general.
