[Q] Noob - HELP Android Market you did not paid for it error

---

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)

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.
