Paid apps theory..

The reason that google hasn't dished out the paid apps like planned was most likely because 1 person could pay for it, download it and then spread it around to the rest of the android community.
I mean how could they prevent us (especially with root) from doing that.
I think that either they are gonna put a complete end to root (if possible),
or they're gonna completely redo the whole market and how it works.
Maybe make it so apps are originally apks but when installed they leave behind the installer and can not be installed again by finding the apk in the internal storage.
What are your thoughts?

Could be and what you said is being discussed in another part of dream forum. Tell you the truth I've been all over the internet constantly looking for paid apps and there is not much out there. Guitar hero said it was coming to android in jan and still isnt out yet! If they do that im sure someone will find a way around that as well though haha

Pay or not to pay for an application have been discussed for year and I believe there are people out there are willing to pay for the application they need, even the warez version is just some clicks away from them. You see how PC's software industry lives up? I cant find any software that cant be cracked. It's just a matter of time if someone is really wanna do that.
So it should be the same case here.

While I think there will be a common security thread in the Market I think developers need to also enact their own security to prevent priates. If there is one security procedure then it only takes one crack to take everything.

They will do like a DRM on the apks kind of like the iphone has now.

Honestly, anything they would do would probably be wasted time.
The iPhone anti-piracy mechanisms have been defeated recently, and whatever Google would put forth would likely be taken apart. There's just no way to prevent it, same as the problems that other platform developers have experienced.
There will always be people who pay for their apps, and there will always be people who pirate them, and very little can be done to prevent that.

It'll probably be something like every time an app is bought it is signed with an encrypted code that is given to each individual phone and coupled with a single application.
However, would each app have a different algorithm or would it all be one big pot.
Either way..
That would work rather well
Unfortunately for me though.

XD That made me laugh.

I agree. Remember though, there's not THAT many rooted users out there. I think that as long as the apps are priced reasonably, they'll be fine.

Telenav is here

i called telenav and was able to get a copy of telenav, is there an interest id me linking to it ?

Wdum? Like posting the link? Idk if thats ok on these forums unless it's the trial.

its not the trial, its the full version. but you still have to have an account to use it. they will not give it to cingular users who use the g1, but i acquired a copy. and i am not sure if these forums allow that or not.

h. I'm guessing you pay for the account? I dont really know how the app works in terms of activating lol

It's $10 a month but I don't like pay monthly I don't understand why they just don't put a price to the software and that's it. Why they charge monthly?

http://www.telenav.com/gps-navigator/t-mobile-g1-phone/

Im trying out the demo version, do you wanna post a review and screenshot of it in paid apps or would you like me to?

I haven't installed it, I always forget to cancel autostart subscriptions. Although I guess I could put a reminder in my phone.

Haha ok ill put one up there, so far it works really good, a bit sluggish but i dont have the best signal right now!

No you dont have to pay for 30 day trial, you can cancel before with no charge.

OMG that is so (insert term applicable to aad4321, used in a derogatory manner) that you would think they would charge for a trial version. That's usually what a trial version IS.

alright officer dan i changed it. You still have to put in a credit card, which im not a fan of

Anyone and everyone requires a credit card, for auto renewal AFTER the 30-day trial.
It's almost a standard for most companies now-a-days.

Thank you. I wouldn't put my card information in a trial version of anything. That's very "uncool."

Most credit card companies will let you make a vitual card number that is only good once. I think PayPal was exploring the same option too. This way they can't make it recurring.

any idea if it'll work in UK? on US only?

TeleNav GPS Navigator problem
hey guys,
i am using telenav gps for 30 days trial. when i tried to type in an address then click ok, the display says "getting gps" 30....31...32...34...blah blah till 100 percents for 8 minutes. then it says "no gps, please move to open area".. i was in my car and been waiting till done before leave. my email is confirmed. i live in san diego.

I don't have any experience with telenav, but does the gps work normaly? Say for goggle maps?

Move to an area that you can pick up a signal, that might help.

Telenav GPS Navigation Update? How will we know?
Ok I got the Telenav GPS Navigation software and I am mostly pleased. However, My question is when and if they update the software how will I know there's a new update for the software since it isn't downloaded through the Android Market? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well I'm not sure. See I called the customer service not too long ago and I got this guy that didn't seem like he knew much of what he was talking about. And I asked him and he told me you had to call and ask. But I think that's ridiculous. And I agree with you. You should be able to download it on the market. It is free. Its the service u have to pay for not the application. so I hope they eventually put it on there or send us emails or something. Its gonna bug me because come on, it works pretty good but it clearly needs some updates.

Plox Tower defense?? can you buy it yet?

okay i really like this one and the retro defense games but i cant see the full versions of those. and apperently theyre out already.
whats wrong?
i have adp 1.1h

can u see any paid apps? (I might be wrong) The market is blocked to users that have Dev phones and I believe also to users who are running adp. Search around, there are several threads about the market and this paid app issue.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in.

as was stated, this has been stated alot, but, since you are on ADP, you are blocked from seeing 'copy protected' paid apps, which, it is unfortunately. This was one thing I was waiting for paid apps for, and I can't buy it either.
Fortunately, I can now see Aevum somehow (I think they moved it to not copy protected), so I bought it with the quickness incase they change there mind again

Oh wow how gay...
So if you don't have adp (jfv 1.41) you CAN buy this apps??

Want Words With Friends on Android? Try WordFeud!

I just saw this game on another site and decided to give it a try since it's free. I've been want Words With Friends or a decent clone for awhile. Wordwise Pro just doesn't fit the bill. So far WordFeud is great given it's really new.
http://wordfeud.com/
PS: I'm not getting paid to promote this. It's just really fun and I'd though I'd share.
Add me if you want to play. My ID is Snapshotx

Awesome! I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much. Just started playing you, username is Foobu.

Thanks for the recommendation! I have been missing "Words with Friends"
Anyone can add me for a game as well. My ID is dweebs0r.

wioooow this is the most exciting day I have ever had work my captivate, please people just uninstall word wize loool, that's is it,this is actually better than words with friends, all it needs is sounds, and an option to pay for a add free version, if they make this a cross platform words with friends is going to be yesterdays news

The reason I want words with friends is so that I can play with my fiancee on her iPhone.

tell get to get a android then you can be reunited with word feud again lol

Having alot of problems staying connected
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

its been working flawless for me and all my friends maybe its your network or something

my mistake, yes it isn't working at all now, even there website is down, seams like words with friends bought them out lol

Back up and working
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Been playing it with my coworker since this morning, lol... Btw, is there a way to resign even if it's not your turn yet?

yes, this is MUCH better than WordWize - almost exactly like WWF.... if anyone is up for a game, feel free to invite me: Aftashok is the name.

man I used to LOVE words with friends on my iPhone. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
If anyone wants to play just add: smeltn

i wish the game would incorporate a ratings system and win/loss records..... the competitive me wishes for such things.

Wish there was at least a paid version to get rid of ads, hopefully that will come cause i dont mind paying a dollar to support the developer on this, pretty good so far and the people over at WWF probably wont release anything for a while. Thought that games that were won/lost didnt go away but apparently they do after 2 days, needs to be sooner than that or user removable.
Name: hollaholla

Sweet!
Mine is TexUS.
It'd be nice if WWF would show up on here though so I can play with iPhone people.

This game uses a lot of data, like 1MB in 1 Minute.
Is there anyway to stop it from using data when you're not in a WiFi area?

thanks for the heads up...
awesome game...
PS: not to thread-jack, but has anyone found a good boggle clone out there... with randomly oriented letters like the real game?

check out wordup. it's a "boggle-like" game.
on topic, word feud is fun. checking out how much batt. it takes with the push notification and multiple games. add me for games: funthony.

I gave this a try a few weeks ago, after using WordWise for 2 months...and I wasn't a big fan. The lack of a paid version, updates, and stat tracking was kind of a deal breaker.
WordWise was admittedly spartan when it first came out...but the developer updates the app fairly regularly, so I think I'mma stick with that one...until it gets abandoned or WordFeud updates. Heh.

Screenshot ER on 3.2

Hi guys! If you remember, my app Screenshot ER was the first to work on honeycomb. If not, its in the signature.
Could all you lucky champs with 3.2 let me know if its still working please?

it works beautifully on 2.0.1 manta ray with kernel Tachi.
Still great job no matter what update for OS comes around

Cool. Are you using SER or SER 2?

1.0.8 that is

need root for this?
edit: never mind, just read your sig.

Yep... needs root. But if youre on this forum, you should know that restoring your device to vanilla is just as easy as rooting!

Works fine on Tiamat 2.1 (3.2 base).
[sER2]

Ive just checked (finally) and it works fine! Dunno why people are sending me error reports...

doesn't matter, 3.2 on Tiamat has screen shot app built in

Yep - but it sucks... this is a real screenshot app with cool features!

I'll pass, good luck

Whats your problem buddy? You just clocking up a post count with all those opinions?
Must be - im a dev here with lots of current threads and Ive only managed 1700 in the same time as you. And of course i spent most of that time making cool apps. You it seems were just trolling around because noone listens to you in the real world. ..
Hope to never see the like of you in one of my threads again. Fat chance, i know.

Internet gangsta haha, don't quit your day job

Typical. Spout some nervous nonsense and run with your tail between your legs. Schmuck.

The app will always be available for free from XDA, it is our gift to the community.
A beta is currently being tested by everyone in the office, and the app itself will be posted here in the next few hours, after we put some basic icons together and make sure it actually works
Stay tuned, all your screen capture needs will be met within a few hours!

Yeah... so you dont get to bottom feed any more and actually have to pay for something that use use. If youre such a smart guy, why dont you go make something that becomes successful and then not cash in on it? You can be content with watching thousands of people download it and never even clicking the thanks button.
Oh wait - you cant.

Sorry to disappoint but I do pay for apps on both my EVO 3D and Xoom. You said your app would ALWAYS be free to XDA members but went back on your word, that was bad enough. Now you're here spamming the forum, thats disgraceful. On the 2nd page is your last thread that was closed on Aug 4th, now you opened another thread the very next day which offers nothing that could have gone in the other thread? Oh yeah, and there's another thread in the Android Paid Apps section which was also closed.
I support devs verbally and through my wallet, but your behavior is pretty distasteful. I'm not looking for a fight, nor am I slamming your app, but I think the way you do business may hurt you more than freeloaders. Another factor may be people realize there are free apps that suit them just as well and don't have to worry about buying an app only to find it pulled from the market for some unexplained reason and have to get the other pay version.
Think of this as constructive criticism.
