FAQ (Frequently-Asked Questions)
Q. Why charged twice from Google?
A. While it may appear that you've been charged twice for an order, the
pending item you noticed on your bank statement is actually an
authorization. Authorizations are the initial communication between
Googles billing system and the bank's billing system. While you may
see multiple pending listings in your account, only one charge will be
deducted after the authorization is completed. When this final
deduction occurs, the charge will be posted to your account as
successful. Google will not bill an account until they receive an
approved authorization from the bank.
Q. Trouble downloading with Download unsuccessful message
A. If you receive a "Download unsuccessful" message when attempting to
download an app, try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve
the issue:
For paid applications, confirm your credit card information is up
to date by signing in to your Google Checkout account.
Clear your Market cache (visit Settings > Applications > Clear
cache).
Restart your phone, then try downloading the app again.
Wait 10 minutes, and try your download again.
Confirm there is connectivity to either a wireless or cellular
network on your device, and contact your mobile service
provider if you aren't connected.
Ensure theres enough space on your phone or tablet for the app
to install.
If none of the above steps work, try remounting your SD card.
Visit Menu > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card; then
remount the SD card from the same menu by selecting
Remount SD card, or restart the device if the remount option
isnt available.
