Default After Dexter Mod, Google Play doesn't allow purchase

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.

All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.

I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.

Any ideas?

Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.

Thanks

Default Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy

I decided to try to re-do the mod.

I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.

I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.

Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.

Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.

The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.

Any ideas here?

***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7

Default Another Update: Success

Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.

I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.

This is good news!

I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.

Seems like that's the case here.

Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?

Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

I been using the cm7 which uses a modified build.prop for the xoom, or you could easily find a modified market here on xda

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll just let this one die a quiet death.
