That's what I'm insinuating -- the "before" numbers, as nice as they were, just don't have any kind of veracity for me any more. At least today my numbers are stable and in between the highs and lows I experienced over the past year.

Google Checkout doesn't report uninstalls after the purchase clears, so as far as I'm concerned, those numbers will never match. I am very curious to know what happens when devices are decommissioned. Assuming they check for that, presumably the only non- evil way to know would be to wait until a devices fails to phone home after a long amount of time. If that's the case, is it considered an "uninstall" for your app on that phone? If so, your install % has nowhere to go but down unless your sales consistently exceed decommissions. If not, then the app is essentially installed "for life" on decommissioned devices and boosts your numbers till the end of time.
