I bought my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in June 2011, and just loved it. It had the Honeycomb (Android 3.1) operating system installed, and I had a lot of apps that I really loved. But gradually it developed severe battery problems and a loose charging port, so I sent it off for repair. I still wanted to have this as a usable tablet, because I love the design of this ultra-thin, ultra-light device.
While it was in the shop I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. I was pleased to see that the Play Store had kept track of all of my apps, and I was able to put them on the new tablet.
Then, I got my original tablet back from the shop. When I logged into my Google account and visited the Play Store, it shows me all of the apps for my brand new tablet under the MyApps. Everytime I try to download an app, I get a server error ([RPC:S-7:AEC-7 HHOA-P4J6-TMI44]). I read someone's advice to fix this by deleting the Play Store cache and data, then force-stopping, but it didn't fix the problem. Another person said this problem is related to certain Google (GMail) accounts, and can't be fixed by the user, and to try creating a new Gmail account. (Of course, I would lose all of my paid apps this way.)
Does anybody know what this error is? Is the Play Store confused by the two devices with two different operating systems?
*****
Part two of my question, and I know this is going to sound really silly. They replaced the Android Honeycomb OS with a later version that I don't find nearly as aesthetically pleasing. I really loved the black background, and the built-in apps that I used the most were actually better before.
Does anyone know whether it would be possible to do a firmware downgrade? I have the exact version and build number written down. (In fact, I uploaded all of the .apk and .odex files from the system directories to a server and have them stored. Would any of these files be usable?)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
