Solution: Android Market Website Says “There are no android phones associated with this account.”
Now a days, as many of the Android Mobile Phone users are using the new Google Android Market Site to download the applications, but getting this error – “There are no android phones associated with this account.“.
Okay, I have a solution for this problem.
You get a pop-up message saying, “There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account.”, When you are selecting an application to download or install a message.
This is due to the matter that the present Google Android Market Website Fails to find your phone in their databases as hence providing such error messages.
Well, if you have the same problem as I mentioned above (as it is affecting to both the rooted and the non-rooted users), you can follow this procedure to solve it.
- Just log-in to the Google Market Website at http://market.android.com
- Hit the My Account tab-link present on the page’s top right corner
- Click onto the Password Recovery link
- Now to validate whether it’s you, enter your google account password
- Then in the SMS Section, do the following :
- Hit the Edit link
- Now, if you already see the your phone number is written there, then please delete that phone number, but if no number or some other number is present, then you can go to step 6 directly,
- Save it
- Now Sign Out from the website
- Now Sign-in again to the android market website, and go back to same page, if prompted:
- Write your phone number there and save it
- Sign Out in the end
- Now, log in to the http://market.android.com
- Hit the My Market Account link button
- Now go to the Settings option, your phone number should appear there.
Hope it helped.

i tried applying this solution many times in my galaxy s phone but not working and i still have the same problem when ever trying to download and application from market which says “There are no android phones associated with this account ” please any one could help , thank u in advance
Would strongly recommend not to buy Samsung Galaxy email, I plan to sue Samsung… Such a stupid mobile I never seen, this phone has not been developed with common sense… Even the mobile phones with 40$ cost whatever features has in it , the galaxy doesn’t have it.
You are right.
You can also see here that Samsung has topped in the List of 10 Companies – Providing Worst Customer Services.
i have the same problem in my dell xcd28 android phone. it is still showing the same message that “There are no android phone associated with this account. please help
@Nirupam:
Have you followed all the steps present in this article?
This does not work. I have a brand new stock Motorola Defy, i simply made myself a gmail account and put in my mobile number when it asked for it.
The market says there are no phones associated.
My phone DOES sync with google without any problems, there is the option to do 2 part security in my google account settings but it requires you to download google authenticator app from the marketplace. HOW arrogant can google get.
Download this to verify your mobile. Oh wait sorry you cant download it. Bye.
It simply doesnt make sense. People have been complaining about this and contacting google support for months now.
Its just wrong in so many ways.
Worked for me with my new Motorola Atrix 4g. Thanks a bunch!
This worked fine for me! Followed steps on the desktop and then could download apps from the Desktop Market to my EVO. Thanks!
I followed all these steps, multiple times, and it still does not work. I have a Samsung Moment which I got in January 2010 — I don’t know the version of Android in it because the “about phone” section actually doesn’t show that, and I don’t know where else to look for it.
I’ve been combing all the forums and Android articles for three days, and there is nothing that enables me to download any app from market.android.com. They all give me the “no device associated with this account” message. Android Market “help” pages are absolutely useless, they say “you’re not logged in with the associated Google account” (yes, I AM) or “you have not accessed the market from your device recently” (yes, I HAVE. today. and “my market account” even show the app I just downloaded today while accessing the market from my device).
Google & Android are both horrible about responding to any requests for help, even when you attempt to contact them directly.
I have samsung galax tab,,,,,, tried it 100 times and did not work
Yeah I have the motorola defy and running into the same problems
Thanks, it’s working….
not working…please someone help me…i have do this many time and it always said “there are no android phone associate with this account”..how can…
It worked, but not as I expected. My phone # still does not appear, and I still cannot download to my MAC (as advertised), but I was able to download to my cell, which earlier displayed a “Network Error.” Thank you!!
Continuing: After downloading to my cell, I was able to download via my MAC. Logjam busted!

Thank you very much – it is much better advice than anyone at Google or Android can give! Unfortunately it still does not work with my Samsung Galaxy Tab. I’m going to return it and get my money back – maybe try again in a couple ‘o years when they fix the bugs!

ref. SYGIC maps purchase:
Dear Support,
I feel absolutely let down by your methods of downloading an ordered and paid application Sygic Map (Europe). Your instructions are to download the app via the Internet from Amazon or from the Android Market (https://market.android.com/).
1. If I go to Amazon, it requires a payment, which I have done already directly to you.
2. If I choose the Android Market, then it doesn’t recognise the device. Now; after some soul searching I figured out that one must have a Google Account to have the device recognised. I do wonder however why isn’t there a clear and concise step-by-step instruction series that advises the customers what to do, when to do and how to do…
3. As it happens I do have a Google Account, and when I try linking to it via the phone using a WiFi connections under the “Add a Google Account” heading for an existing account, repeatedly I get after some minutes that: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server” message. This is in-spite that fact that the WiFi Internet connection is working, I can search on Google, etc…
Now, coming back to the essence of it all; if I order and pay for a service, why can’t your site simply provide me with a download link to the application? If I stuck as I am now, what on earth I suppose to do? Should I ask for a refund or you have some better ideas?
Its not working & no change happened, still the same error message, save yr reputations & yr prospect customers, this is really annoying…plz..

Nothing worked for my samsung galaxy except Iranapps.ir
Excellent & Thx!
I have 2 Tablets with the same problem, 1 is an Archos 7 HT, upgraded to 1.6, just bought the Pandigital Novel 7″, now after I searched a few things the methods do not match what comes up. they need to merge these apps to one place that works for all !!
I did this:
went to https://play.google.com/store
>> My Orders & Devices (at the bottom)
>> Devices
>> Visibility: shown in menus
