If you have not heard, AllCast is on Amazon App Store now. You can go there and get the free app, open the app, and click on the Amazon logo in top right corner to purchase the premium version through the App Store. If you have coins to use it will take 499 to purchase but you get 150 coins back in return. Others are reporting that they are getting more than the 150 (even up to 400 coins) back in return.
**Edit....this is not as good a deal as I originally thought. My coin count did not update timely and thought I got around 400 coins back. Looks as though I only got the 150 coins. Obviously since I paid with coins and they were free it really didn't cost anything so no biggie.**
Try as I may, I can't bring up the amazon buy premium page. I clicked the in-app amazon logo and the premium row. Restarted the phone, cleared the cache, data. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions?

No idea. You have the Amazon app still installed on your device right? It should just be a small pop up box that comes up with payment options. Maybe you have an app that blocks pop up ads in apps that is preventing it from coming up? Like adaway maybe. Not sure.
Yes, still have amazon app store, and no ad blockers. I think maybe it just doesn't like the galaxy note 2.

Hey, guys.
I downloaded some free apps of the day from Amazon's Appstore that now cost money. However, Google's Marketplace sees that I have that app and there's an update for it but I can't download it. So, right now it just sits there under my apps claiming to have an update. However, since I didn't pay for it through Google Marketplace, it wants me to pay for it before I can update it.
Is there anyway to fix this to let Google Marketplace be where I update all of my apps? OR is there anyway to make Google Marketplace know the app I got from Amazon is paid for and I'll update it through Amazon?
For example, I have CardioTrainer free version through Amazon. Google Market will update the app, but then Amazon will re-download an update for it. Then Google will then say there's a new update for it. And then Amazon will re-download an update for it. So, the updating just goes in circles here. Help, please. Thanks!
can amazon apps. stick with the original marketplace. what is the benifit of getting it from the amazon app store insted? do you like drm?
I'd estimate 90% of amazon app store users only have it for the free paid app of the day, lol.
OP: I've never had an issue with Android Market fighting with Amazon app store. Don't download the same app from Android that you get from Amazon. Just let Amazon maintain the apps you buy/get free from them.

I already told you: The free app of the day.
Although, you can call me a cheap bastard, I suppose, and tell me to just buy the freakin' app on Google Marketplace. So, there's that.
Happened to me as well. I booted into cwm and wiped cache and dalik cache and issue went away.
are you getting ther market to request update but not amazon. Thats my issue. Market says update available amazon doesn't but through market I always fail to install.
Clearing cache and dalvik didn't help me . Thanks for any more help.

Its going to happen sometimes when one had a newer version then the other. Not much we can do to change it.
I don't think that this has ever happened to me, and I have like all of the free app of the days (although not all of them installed).
I guess what somehow happened is that they got attached to the Android Market. You can detach them using Titanium Backup. Just long press on the app and it will give you the option. I'm not sure if it works in the regular version; I have the pro version.

Amazon is SLOW to get the updates our on apps. From what I understand its the whole process the app has to go through to get approved FWIW...

You should no your homework before mouthing off!
amazon number one place for drm free mp3s
amazon allows me to purchase angry birds for a small one time fee and never see a stupid ad again. open your mind, do not just believe, do not act as though google is another religion.
everyone should use more then one source, people here at XDA should know that more then anyone else!!
once your market is updated, side-loaded apps, shouldn't show in the play market.

How about not necroing a 9 month old thread over a reply that added no value to the topic. Let it die.
so there's a couple .10 apps on the market app that i want, but the market app is still showing their regular price. do i purchase them anyways? the market shows the .10 price from a browser, however, i can't push apps to my phone cuz it's not listed as a device for me even though i've downloaded lots of apps. anyone else have these problems?
Have you rebooted your phone? Just a suggestion...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
yeah rebooted to no avail.
edit: disregard, i decided to just go ahead with purchase and they end up costing only .10. the app shows regular price, but they still just charge .10 to your google account.
Reboot. Try clearing cache in the applications -> market I think

A co worker copied a root explorer apk to my phone, I installed it but my conscious got the best of me as I do not believe in stealing so I decided to buy it but I can't buy it because it says already purchased. Any way to correct this?
Did you try deleting the original apk and then try purchasing? Not sure if it will work or not.

I did and it didn't work. Last time I listen to that co worker.....
Well, you could contact the maker of the app and explain the situation. Maybe pay for it through PayPal or something.

Yeah I would contact the maker of the app and explain what happened.
Honestly ... I didn't pay for root explorer at first either... I got it from someone else as well..BUT I loved it so much I deleted it and paid for the real one... ( I like to do it this way if the creator of the app doesn't offer a trial version)
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
U just need to uninstall it. If its installed to your system then you need to use root explorer to delete data and cache of the apk then delete the apk in system and reboot

nope it's locked in
it's a known issue with Google Tech support for Android Market
it's permanently burned into your account
they have no way to fix it yet
it also happens with other LEGIT Apps from Amazon and Getjar
i opened a complain ticket several days ago
I had the same with an app I had gotten from the Amazon market, but it hasn't been getting updates there, but has on the Android market. Well the Android market had it on sale for ten cents, so I tried to buy it there and have not been successful. I haven't really tried hard to get it though.

Please let me know when and if you get a response AllGamer. Thanks for everyone's input.
Uninstall it, clear all your caches, and go to your application settings & wipe data for the market. That usually works for me.

Looks like the promo is over, that was quick, they were free for a few hours this morning. I know they were free for sure cause I downloaded them, I had saw a thread on reddit about it, now they are back to normal price.
I thought based on Google Play Guidelines that once an app is free it cannot become a paid app again. I'm betting that it was an error and that people who downloaded the app might lose access to it later.

It's not an error . App can get paid again. For example i'm from germany and i'm using "App des Tages". You can translate that to app of the day. This app will show you special offers of apps which are free for 1 day and will be paid after that day expires.
Paid apps can be offered for free for a limited time.
Downloading a free app is the same as purchasing it for $0.00.
Once you download the app, you own it, even when the price goes (back) up.
As I understand it.. That is why some people were making a big deal about devs getting your info when you "purchase" an app. People all of a sudden realized that every free app you have ever downloaded: that third party developer has your full name, email address & location. That is relatively normal info to exchange when you make a purchase from someone, but you don't want to give that info to every dev who has a free app. Turns out, you did.

In addition to the app of the day app that NutellaBanane mentioned above, you can download AppSales and check them from time to time for good deals.
So I bought this nexus 7 tablet and returned it and bought it again using the office max 20% coupon deal. They did a factory reset because i wanted the 32gb model but when I went to the back they didn't have it. So I just ended doing the price match on the current one I had. When I logged in using my Google account and tried downloading apps it gave me some weird 427 or 920 error codes. I did my research and cleared caches and deleted data for play store, services framework and Google play services. Nothing seems to work, I tried many different methods clearing data/caches on them but no luck. Someone please help its really annoying. On my phone everything downloads fine.
