While playing flowerz i get my xbox gamerpoints. when i play other sideloaded xbox live games, it wont work. And i cant start playing ilomilo, because it says im logged in as guest.

[FAIL]
Try actually paying for the games you tight a$$

I seriously doubt you're going to get gamer points for warez.

no, just to mess up with my friends, and to play this lovely ilomilo game.
@norgan: i got no credit card

I've got exactly the same problem
I'm 15 so I don't have a creditcard and my parents say they won't buy games for me because "I already have a xbox with Live Gold to play with, I don't need my phone to play games".

i just go a wii and no xbox, so i just can play the games on my phone ^^

Not sure bout your country but here we have prepaid visa, you go buy one with a certain amount on it and use it like a normal visa, we also have visa debit, which can be attched like a normal account that uses your funds but uses the visa network to process payments.
I am sure there will be some kind of solution for you. Some carriers also allow purchasing on your phone bill.

Also if you purchase 1 mp3 album from them they will automatically upgrade your 5GB to 20GB for free for one year. And songs purchased from them don't count towards your data allotment. I bought an album that was 3.99 and got upgraded instantly.

As usual Australia gets shafted
im all over this. thanks for the heads up
Yeah this could be pretty cool. I love Pandora, but there are plenty of times I want to control what I listen to. I can fit an "ok" amount of music in the 5GB. Pretty good idea to buy an album for the 20GB. Still will not come close to holding all of my music, but good enough for the road.
I think I'll stick with serving up my own collection with Audio Galaxy. Good find on the one year 20G deal, though.

so after I opened up amazon mp3 and looked at the top albums, I noticed there was a cheap one for some glee song, I figured I get it to see it if it would give me the 20gbs. so I picked one my wife would like, and for a $1.39 or whatever it cost for the 1 song album I got the 20gb drive.
yeah I bought the top selling .69 song and got the one year free trial too

+1 for AudioGalaxy, my (relatively small) music collection is 12 GB, so it won't fit on Amazon's 5 GB free solution. But, there is no need for Amazon Cloud - with AG, I can stream my entire music collection from my computer to any other computer, my phone, my G-Tab, etc. Without having to upload it all to a server. For free! AG rules!
Got this couple of days ago and am loving it

But does that mean you have to leave your computer on all the time to use AudioGalaxy?
I'm mainly thinking when I'm traveling this would be good. But then again, why wouldn't I just have an mp3 player with me? I'm mainly thinking of using this as storage ala drop box. Just one more place to store stuff. And maybe my "emergency" playlist.

Be very careful WHICH mp3 files you upload to this service.
By using it, you have agreed to allow Amazon to inspect, analyze and report to the authorities what music you have.
In other words, unless you bought the music from Amazon, be prepared to prove you own it. In court possibly. That would be federal court, btw.

Are you just speculating or have you actually heard of someone getting tagged?
yeah they need to inspect it to be able to add the tags and cd cover for the player.

Traveling With a Nexus 7 - NO WAY, GooglePlay it's a Shame asap you cross the border.

I got Two Nexus 7, then I fly to South America and give one to ma nephew, Ohh Surprise, NO GOOGLE PLAY Outside US.
Neither the Videos and eBooks I Purchased I can Open Outiside the USA.
More, some Apps Just "dissapear" from Launcher.
As soon I connected to a VPN with exit node AT USA, everithing comes back.
I Experienced similar Issues when removing the Simcard at my Previus Galaxy Nexus, but only for new content, no appg got hidden.
THIS IS A SHAME. WE MUST JOINT TO START A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GOOGLE ON THIS, NO MATTER IF WE LOST, AT LEAST EVERY BODY WILL KNOW THAT DISCRIMINATORY POLICY.
I Believe the restriction on certain media outside the US is more having to do with united states copyright laws in other countries or some such. I don't think its a -google- discrimination.
Anyway I am sure its frustrating and I would be a little disappointed as well.
Yeah...good luck with that.

Sorry to say but the world is bigger then the states. Almost every country has different laws/restrictions ect. Not half of all the options you'll have in the states work in Europe due to above. I'm waiting for the Nexus 7 to be released (in my country) to buy one but I know we will miss a lot of content. Be patient google is working to fix this (I hope).
Even Barnes & Noble require you to have a credit card with a US address before you can buy any books on your Nook.

And have fun trying to buy things while you're out of the country. It (the Nook) doesn't even have the decency to tell you that it's not available until after you order and it just doesn't work. Eventually, you see an email pop up on your phone telling you that your money doesn't spend since you aren't in the US.
At least they let you keep (and download) everything you already purchased.
Google is trying to expand, the problem is that everything requires a contract signed with the media rights holders. And those holders are different in every freaking country.
Google isn't restricting your access, they just don't have the legal ability to give you that stuff until all the contracts get signed. Cut them some slack.

Really? You have no understanding about content licencing do you? Ask iPhone 4 owners how Siri works for them outside the US. Oh right it doesn't for the same reasons.
Mods please lock this thread to stop the idiocracy.

You either knew of these policies before hand or you didn't do your research before buying. In my opinion ignorance of policy is not at all a valid argument against a content provider. Google didn't force you to buy the product and they didn't force you to keep the product.
It's kind of like me buying peanut butter to use as an adhesive, then building an entire house using peanut butter instead of nails and glue for all material connections. Except the peanut butter would need to have "Not to be used for adhesive properties or as a construction material." But decide to use it anyway and then when my house starts falling apart I go on a derogatory defamation campaign and try to file a lawsuit demanding an injunction which would require Jif Peanut Butter Inc to start using epoxy resin in their peanut butter.
I understand you being frustrated but it's not googles fault and they didn't declare that the product would work in every place on Earth, they made it clear from the start that wasn't the case.

The problem is that Google disables your content if you go outside the us. Can be really annoying if you purchase and download a lot of content to bring with you when traveling. This is not the case with amazon kindle or iTunes... You have to be pretty stupid to buy content in the play store IMHO, except apps of course.

i agree. iOS allows you to at least bring content out of the US. hell... they now have a movie and tv store where i am (manila). amazon kindle books are the same way. we could buy books from abroad and read them anywhere.
did you download the transformers movie offline and it still disappeared when you didnt have a US ip address? still looking for a non root non vpn offline solution for my nexus 7. even just for movies for the meantime as i can still use zinio for my magazines and kindle for my books.
THe world does not revolve around the U.S either. I live in Canada, I'm pretty sure I can confirm my Nexus 7 has full play capabilities.

i can get google music though. since i was in the US when it started and i was able to register there. i can still access it even when i am not in the US. i can also do vpn on my macbook to buy music. just hoping some similar solution can be had for books magazines and movies.
I'm curious. For example, you 'own' the Transformer movie.
If the entire movie is downloaded to your device (or a book for that matter), vs. streaming, and you enter into a country where there are licensing restrictions on the movie, would it still show as being available or would it disappear?
Has anyone run into this scenario yet? My assumption from the OP's post signified that the content was being streamed and not already downloaded onto the device.
That would be akin to you buying a bunch of movies, TV shows, songs onto your iPhone/iPod, and as you travel around the world and you can only listen to them in 'certain countries'.
Cheers,
Kermee

Booted my Nexus 7 via VPN so I can get the credit on signing in. Downloaded the books offline. After I switched VPN off play books and magazines disappeared so I would say yes on those.
Didn't bother trying with the Transformers movie since download was slow and I wanted to play with my toy already.

I can understand google preventing users from buying content when outside the covered areas but to prevent users from using the content they have purchased just because you connected to a wifi network outside the us is stupid. This makes a Nexus 7 a no no device for travelers. I love my Nexus 7 but not even Apple does this if you travel with your iPad and have books and magazines on your device you can enjoy them anywhere, after all you paid for the content. Google needs to fix this for travelers.

Google Play Gift Card UK

Has anyone got any inside info, predictions etc about when the UK will be getting these? I google it every week or so & so far nothing.
It is so frustrating I desperately want to buy paid apps & ebooks for my Nexus 7 but don't want to have twenty or thirty .25p .50p ₤1.25p etc charges on my bank statement. So it means I have to buy everything from AmazonUK (who do have Gift Cards)
Moderators - I honestly didn't know where else to put this. Sorry if it needs to be moved.

I think he means the ability to redeem codes is present in the UK store, there's just no (legitimate) way to purchase them yet.
Very very soon. They just rolled out the ability to redeem gift cards in the UK Play Store, the actual cards should appear shortly.
Of course this is Google we're talking about here.
i have heard they are real hard to get hold of in america so i doubt we will have them for a while yet. im looking forwrd to them as well.

I was told by google last week that they are scrapping the physical cards completely in favour of online codes only & are aiming to have a more global rollout rather than the current US-centric approach. Knowing Google I won't hold my breath.

If that's true it's a mistake. iTunes has a physical presence and grandparents aren't going to go buy their grandkids a digital code on the computer. They will pick up a card at the end of a register though.
Physical cards need to exist.

Physical cards do not 'need' to exist. You may well want them to..... It may in fact be that you are correct that it would be a good marketing move to have them. But they themselves do not 'need' to exist. Anyway I just want them to rollout gift cards (virtual or otherwise) to Europe. I've stopped buying apps because I only have two squid left in my balance. Hurry up google!
Anyway how did you know that the UK play site had changed to allow us to redeem non existent gift codes? I'm curious.

are these available in UK stores yet and if i but them online do i have to wait for a voucher to be posted to my address or would i get a code instantly via email?

Thanks so much for posting that. I'm still praying they start letting us buy the cards online or buy credit direct from Google online.

WHAT!! - This payment method has been declined.

I had my family buy a bunch of google play gift cards for my son for Christmas.
We've been purchasing apps without a problem until today. I went to purchase Greedy Spiders for $0.99 and I could not use the Google Play gift cards. The card was greyed out with a message right below the cards stating "This payment method has been declined.", but noting a balance of $12.05.
I called Google Play support and had to go through 3 calls and 6 support reps before one finally addressed the problem. The developer of the app is not allowing payment using Google Play gift cards. The developer of the app only accepts payment by credit card. This seems crazy to me. It's kinda like going to BestBuy and being unable to use BestBuy gift cards to buy a Sony TV because Sony only accepts credit card payment.
I'm not sure how many other developers are not accepting Google Play as a payment method, but I wanted to share the story.

yep. Aren't those gift cards supposed to help protect you from compromising your personal information online? ID theft is a pretty huge problem nowdays. I would be wary of doing business with that developer....
While I'm certain this vendor is the exception to the majority as I've had an Android phone for years and never experienced this, there will always be some vendors unless Google changes their policies to prevent developers from doing this. IMHO, I blame Google more than anyone. Google should not be providing developers the option to exclude Google Play gift cards when developers sell their products through the Google Play store.
I just came across this issue too but it seems to be for EVERY app or movie i have tried to download. I have a google play balance of $85 that seems to be utterly useless now! I need to do more research into this because this is just not acceptable and i feel extremely cheated. This is the first thread i came across so thought i would share my experience. If anyone has any input or an alternate reason as to why i can no longet use my play credit to make purchases i would be very interested to know.
Well with respect, Google Play is more like Amazon or EBay as such they allow anyone to write an app and publish it. And since Google is a world wide service, some countries may not or be able to accept that gift card service.
It happens but it is rare. We dealt with this with the initial $25 Play Store credit we got with our Nexus 7s. A very few developers wouldn't/couldn't accept the Gift Cards...
Or maybe it is a time factor. Maybe the listings have to be updated to accept gift cards?
I don't see a huge issue with this. I personally like the idea that devs can choose their method of choice.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
My problem with that is that i cant find a single app, movie, or song i can download with my play store balance. If there is NO devs that are going to accept gift cards as payment then Google needs to reimburse me for the money I already put out on their gift cards to download from their store which now seems to be completely void. If i knew i was going to be put in this position when i spent $150 on gift cards i would have never bought them. They claim on the card they are good for all purchases from the store apart from tangible products and when outside the US. I will be calling them tomorrow during business hours to bring this issue up.

I agree. When I got my N7, I had no problem using my $25. Seems fishy to me. It shouldn't matter if the money came from a gift card, green is green.
And I was just thinking about getting a gift card for the Play Store. After reading this though, maybe I should try something different.
Well now.. that is pretty retarded.
If your goal in writing an app is to harvest credit card information, it makes perfect sense.

Hi, I know it's a bit late but I have just found a SOLUTION to this problem. You can solve this by creating another Gmail account and using the same payment method as this problem is not related to the the payment method but the account as I have found. Go into Settings>Accounts>Add Account>Google>New. Then create a new Google account which will work alongside your present Google account and NOT replace it. Go to the Play store and swipe right across the screen and you will see a drop down menu from your present Google account going into the Google account you just made. Use this new account to purchase the application. The application will be downloaded to your phone hopefully without your "payment method being declined" .
First I've heard of sellers even getting that opton. It's not on my developer console. How would the developer know anyway? The income isn't broken down by method of payment. nothing related on the merchant account either.
I suspect a glitch rather than anything deliberate.

App writers never see credit card information. Only the payment processor (in this case google) does.

Google Play full not in supported country!

The first Nexus 4 that I purchased was using a vpn and my debit card issued in my country (Dominican Republic), I used to enter the google play web from my pc using the same vpn but one day i forget to turn the vpn on and for my surprise, when I went to the google play page I had full access to all the content like apps, movies, tv shows, music, magazines, and devices. Ever since I had been able to purchased a few more nexus 4 to friends.
At the same time my Play store (in the phone) got full access too. I don't know why nor how this happens but I totally like this. I have asked many friends to enter their play store to see if they had access to movies, books and such but they only had access to Apps and Games.
I FEEL LUCKY!
As for Google's Music service, I know it can be bypassed to work any place but lately I have been reading that some people couldnt use the new All Access service because they were in unsupported countries. I tried to subscribe today for the free trial and boom it works perfectly.
this is me been lucky or there is an explanation to this?
thanks.
Did you shipped the N4 to an American address like I did?
After I purchased the 2nd N4 for my colleague, Google assumed that I am either an American citizen or live in the States.
Since then I have also full access to the play store incl working wallet.
Funny part: I tried last time to download a localized application for Taiwan, Play store told me that this program is not available in my device country.
And this is only for 1 Google account.
Logged in with a second one, application was available.

After I purchased the 2nd N4 for my colleague, Google assumed that I am either an American citizen or live in the States.
Since then I have also full access to the play store incl working wallet.
Funny part: I tried last time to download a localized application for Taiwan, Play store told me that this program is not available in my device country.
And this is only for 1 Google account.
Logged in with a second one, application was available.
Cheers
Tom

nice! that is exactly what i did,,
also I gave a giftcard to my girlfriend like 1 month ago, and after redeeming she had access too.
She had a galaxy S2.
Google is no more using IP address to get the country of user. They stopped it about 3 months back. Since you used to use VPN to connect Google thought your country of origin is US and since now they have stopped checking IP's it doesn't know you are not from US.

That's nice. I've been trying to get the full access to the play store but I can't seem to do it. Anyone know how to?

Do you know how they are controlling it now!? I'm able to enter the american play store by using Tor Network, but as soon as I log into my account it drives me back to brazilian play store and I cannot conclude my purchase.
Thank you for any help.

As I know, not a chance! A shipito, or something like that would be necessary. Or, in my case, a fast trip to US...
