Blockbuster app = SCAM! - Thunderbolt Themes and Apps

I have a blockbuster account so I finally decided to try it today. I rented 2 movies and after paying for them it won't let me download either. This app is a total scam so everyone beware, it doesn't work and you will get ripped off if you spend money on movies. If its been successful for anyone else please let me know but I was on wifi and 4g and neither would let me download.

I didnt even know blockbuster was even in business still, lol.

I didn't know people still used Blockbuster lol. Did you call up their customer support and tell them what happened?

I'm pretty sure the blockbuster app doesn't download the movie to ur phone...but if it wouldn't even play then that's a different story ..

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

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.

Watch TV on the Eris

It may not be an app, but I found a website that has a bunch of TV shows that stream on the Eris. the site is androidvideo.net . it is very compatible for the Eris.
Nice Find watching !
I hope more people donate so they can get more space to put more shows up. The admin told me that they are trying to get a 1000 shows up by the end of the year, but they need more space.
Sweet thanks.

Have you seen the show selection, LMAO!
I think it has some good shows on there. They may be a few years old, but they are still good. Plus what other options do we have with the Eris.
I do like this site nice find. Hopefully there will be better things to come
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
When I donated $5, I got a thank you email from the admin. I asked him how he thought of the idea and he told me that he had an Eris and got irritated that we didnt have too many options for watching videos so he decided to create his own option. He told me that the more that people donate, the more webspace he can afford to upload more shows to watch. So if you like the website, please donate so he can afford to upload more shows. I'm going to continue to donate $5 a month just to help ensure the site is able to grow. I'm really happy that the Eris isn't being left in the dust with this website since it is compatible with every Android because it don't use flash.
CH131.COM works on my phone.
If your rooted on froyo then jetflicks app from market is a really good app updated daily and plays really well on Eris. Its updated daily and has every show I've looked for. Hope this helps.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You don't need to be rooted for Jetflicks to work. And you don't need to buy the app since you can go straight to their website. I also subscribe to them. The problem I have with them is they have said certain shows were coming soon, and 4 months later, they still aren't there.
CH131.com doesn't work on my stock browser. androidvideo.net does. ch131.com may work with skyfire though.

i assume it involves using a US VPN?
Plus you need a US credit card in order to buy any of the said magazines, books, movies etc... So it's pointless.
heh, I just want the $25 credit!!
Not really,
i'm out of USA, and could buy a movie and a book with a US VPN + International credit card.
Just give a US Zip code, the billing address vs register are not checked.
but my problem is: when i back to my N7 or my Gnexus i couldn't see the movie because it recognize that i'm out of US (My Google play movie version ends with "br").

Yes it works but I have seen people with suspended wallet accounts because of these fake addresses. People were crying even on this forum because of this issue. Not everyone face this problem but probably they do random checks.

Help! I can't watch Google TV/Video while traveling!

I am looking for some help.
I have an unlocked Note. CM9 is installed. Apps are all updated.
I was on straight talk in the states. Now that I am traveling a bit (currently in the middle east) i am using a local SIM card to make phone calls / use data.
Its working great - besides the fast that the data is way past slow.
The only problem is that the phone region locked me out of the TV/Movies (google play) that I bought / downloaded.
Does anyone know how I can continue to use the local sim card while maintaining access to my google play media?
Thanks! :good:

dont know how they go about traveling and counties unsupported even thought you bought in a supporting country.
I did read there is a tamprred version supposedly disabling country check but not sure if it will help in this case.
I think the purchases are linked to account, and not sim/emei. But not sure about that.

All that I could find through that link is that I need to update my apps.
I did - everything is up todate, but they still dont work. I am guessing they are just region locked.
This really sucks. My entertainment package is down. :crying:
same happened to me, downloaded movies in Google Play, paid for them, got inside plane, landed in Germany and no movies played. Only message this video is not supported in your country. Called Google, unfortunately they said once you leave US it stops working, same of the movies purchased in US are still not even playing in theatres overseas etc. Offered me to refund the money. This really really sucks, I don't know why they even bother to introduce this Google feature, if you can use it only in one country.
yes, stupid country rights,protectionism, etc. I dont understand the whole regionalization, costs more, is more maintanence, and slowers update speeds. Make a global platform, we live global nowadays anyways.

Really annoyed. I rented and downloaded a lot of movies thinking.. brilliant... while I am in the middle of nowhere in Bangladesh I can at least enjoy some films. Very annoyed.
there is a way of tricking google play, it might work

First of all..USA, my country is not stupid okay? Before you call something stupid you need to read our bill of rights nd ammendments for which my country is founded upon. I could call your country "Full of ****" but before I do that. I have to know, understand and absorb fully well why I said so. Irresponsible marks can put you in jail in some parts of the world you know. "Ignorance to the Law" excuses NO ONE!. that is at least how we have it here. (not sure in your part of the world though).
Your Google Account speaks of your information to where you are.. So even if you change your country (in your Account settings), you still can't fool Google on your current location (if your outside of the U.S.)
And apart from that, Google movies and books were never in the first place launch internationally. It was just here in the States that Google decided so. Not sure why they did that but you can maybe blame Google and not the country itself. Just like Apple.. Most american companies pets their people first before giving it to others. Not to be a racist or something but that is just how it is. Yeah we have our congressmen and senators always imposing laws about the internet and stuff but they're just as well protecting to the best interest of the American people. And to be honest, I don't necessarily support all of their actions okay?(like the SOPA thing) but it doesn't warrant me saying that USA sucks already.
Again.. Blame Google not the Country.. If Google says that google books and movies are only for your country then fine.. I don't question why it's only in your country..so be it. I don't trash talk why your country was given that preference only.. Now again, the question why you can't read books and watch movies in Google is not the fault of the country itself. Blame Google for setting up their servers on U.S. soil. And quit whining..USE a US free VPN (if you can get around with it) to perhaps use these feature...if you still can't get anything out of it then your'e out of luck and just better shut up and stop complaining.

thank you for speaking your mind I respect that.
What I wrote was having regionally set things up is stupid, not your Country, I think you misread that. Just companies policies. Its not only Google, but Blackberry, Samsung actually almost all companies.
What in my opinion makes Googles policies extra stupid is inhibiting functionality, if you live in USA you can use the movies and music, but if you happen to travel, your not alowed to use the functionality anymore in a unsupported country.

As the person above me replied.
You will have 15 minutes to cancel an order. To find the "Refund" button and cancel your order:
Open the Google Play Store app on your device.
Tap Menu > My Apps.
Find the app you've purchased that you'd like to cancel and tap to open the details page.
Within the 15 minutes, you will see the option to "Open" or "Refund" - tap "Refund" to cancel the order.
If you cancel your order within the first 15 minutes, your credit/debit card will not be charged. Any line items on your statement are only authorizations.

OK thanks for your answers
I think 15 min is too little.

That's some app has within 24hr refund program mostly send them email. Read apps description carefully
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Well, there used to be a refund period of 48 hours. But people really abused this when it came to games. That was a large reason why big companies did not want to come to android (that and piracy). Some didn't come at all and others like game loft made it so that you had to buy games from their website and then side load them.
Because of these issues, they turned the refund period down to 15 minutes. Personally, I think 30-60min would be perfect. Sometimes it takes 15 just to get a game on progress working properly.
But, at least it is better than the 0 minute policy Apple has.
Actually 15 minutes is enough. Many people are already misusing the refund feature. Buy app. Quickly make a backup of it in Titanium backup / copy the .apk installation file from cache/download/ and then ask for a refund. Its cheap, I know but many are doing it
About Google wallet, it is quite secure. I have bought with it and removed my debit card attached without any problem.
They may charge 0.01$ for no reason but they refund it back within a month or a week. I think its for verification. I tried with my debit card.
@chemical: hell yeah it's cheap! It's like stealing one candy bar from a local store... i mean, if you can't squeeze that one dollar on an app that you'll use for a long time, there's something wrong... what's better, have an app for free, or pay 1$ and get updates for as long as app is developed? :]
Support your local merchants and not so local developers!
So you have 15 mins to copy the app from /data/apps or /mnt/asec to your SD Card >

You obviously never tried to do something creative (let it be painting, app, or piece of music) and sell it. Many developers release apps on play store to make money for living (unlike you, probably living with your parents without any source of income, acceptable until you go to school) and pay bills and rent and you said "everyone should abuse play store", how would you feel if some big bad guy grabbed you in a dark alley and mugged you off from all money and other goods? Not so good, isn't it? You do same thing by abusing play store...
