ezPDF Reader (Android) Brief Guide FAQ (Frequently‐Asked Questions) Q. Why charged twice? 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 Google’s 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 there’s enough space on your phone or tablet for the app to install. • If none of the above steps work, try remounting your SD card.
