Amazon (free) App of the day -- Farm Frenzy 3/28

Some may or my not know that amazon is kicking off their store by offering 1 free app every day.. now if you already downloaded the app just click on the icon and its on the front page... but for the rest of you follow the link below.
todays app is Farm Frenzy

i have not been able to download the APK for the amazon store yet. i have been trying for 2 days now. Does anybody have this?

Here you go.

I was skeptical about their app store at first but now I really love it. My family all shares one Amazon account so if one person buys an app we can all use it. Plus this free-app-a-day sceme that was so popular on iOS is now on Android. Excellent work, Amazon.

So Happy Its Thursday

So they can charge if you purchase anything, its a pretty standard practice.

Go to any drug store and get a Visa/MC/Amex gift card with whatever little denomination. Amazon needs to have a card on file *in case* you ever ACTUALLY buy something. Standard practice.

Shazam is a cool app I thought about buying it full price before. It tells you the name of a song after listening to it

so when i downloaded the app. i input all of my information. and it keeps saying i need to add a default address to be able to purchase...But i have put a default addres... and all my info..including a card on file. Wtf

It's actually easier to set up an amazon account online and then just sign in from the app...just FYI. Saves headaches

So I am also hearing that apple is crying over a copyright over the name appstore and suing amazon....and he told m thee amazon app store is going t be shut down soon anyone know about this?

Anyone using Google Wallet?

Excited to get my Nexus on Monday, and I was just wondering if anyone that has their phone is using Google Wallet yet?
I have really been wanting to use Google Wallet but have been locked in with Verizon who backs ISIS and says **** you to Wallet.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

I have several times since receiving my phone yesterday; works great. Also was a nice conversation starter with the cute cashier behind the register.

I wanna use it so badly. I work at Cvs and I've pretty much been bragging about it to my colleagues. Can't wait to show off Google wallet.
Sent from Limbo Level 3

Awesome, Glad to hear that! Haha.
I'm looking forward to trying it out for the first time. Maybe I can impress my wife? Lol but probably not.
I'm pretty new to how to use it/where you can use it ... I assume wherever the "Pay Pass" type things are you can use it? Nothing proprietary?
Sent from my VZW Locked and Bloated RAZR M

I used it for the first time today since getting my phone 2 days ago. The cashier looked at me like I was crazy and kept telling me to swipe my card. I had to stall her until it printed out a receipt. It will definitely take some time to catch on!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

That's funny. I would have just looked at them awkwardly until the receipt printed. Then silently walked away.

If you have more than one card in your google wallet how do you know which card is used?

You just set your default card. Can change it whenever u want

Yes you can select the one you would like to use at that point in time..... there is a " select card" button. And if you want to use another card you just hit that button again for that card

From what I've heard and seen, you can select which one to use when you open the app. Can't be 100% sure on that as I've never used it, but hopefully someone can confirm.

Pretty much anywhere that has a PayPass terminal. I say "pretty much anywhere" because even if they do have it, they might actually have it turned off. Best Buy is one such place that has the terminals but has it shut down (tried it in the past at 3 different locations with my Galaxy Nexus). I've read that it's supposedly because it costs them too much to operate, but who really knows.
Off the top of my head of places I've used it in that all work: CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, McDonalds, 7-Eleven, and BJ's Wholesale Club.
To help you out even further, download the Mastercard PayPass Locator app. It'll bring up a list of locations near your current location that should have the terminals installed.

It honestly doesn't matter what you tell them. It'll process as whatever your selected card is, but if it's a debit card you won't have to put in your pin number. Tap, and go.

Nexus 4 Google Wallet Fail.

So I was excited to finally use Google wallet on my nexus, I walked into my local McDonalds and ordered just a regular cheeseburger. When the lady asked me to pay I then busted out my phone and tried to tap the NFC pad, it didn't do anything and everyone was staring at me thinking I'm some sort of alien. I just thought maybe you guys have some fails too, please post below!!

Since PA had been updating the ROM a lot, I forget to set up my wallet. Every time I have the chance to use it, it takes forever to set up. I always just end up using my debit card
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

It's happened to me too. My wallet works at a lot of places, so it's not my phone, but it's still embarrassing. It's the store/restaurant, but the dummies working there don't know how to use pay pass or their system was never set up for our even though the pass pad is on.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I've used it with vending machines a few times. I'm afraid to use it at a store cause I don't know if its set up on their system and I don't want to make an idiot of myself. Lol

There is a list that is easily found that shows the stores, etc that have signed on. It works well at those places of your set up. I have only used it twice though as not many stores use it yet.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I recently tried to use it at my place of work. No matter what, the cashier and I couldn't get it to work. She had heard of the technology and even has another customer who uses Google wallet. I finally decided it was the phone and paid cash. Wallet recognizes its near the NFC debit reader, but says the data transfer may have failed.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I have had it work and not work. In fact, it has worked AND not worked in the same McDonalds, but most likely different pads. My friend that works for google says that it is most likely the pad that doesn't work. But when you start it, make sure you have set up wallet AND that the screen has been turned on. You might want to try resetting your phone before you go into a place where you are going to pay with wallet.

Mine has always worked other than the first time at Target.
The instructions tell you to unlock the phone first, tap NFC pad, then put in your access code. That way did not work for me.
Instead, I turn on my phone and load up wallet first. Enter the pin, and keep it at the card screen. Tap to pay. WIN.

mine always works. i've had a fail here n there but usually my fault after updating roms and not setting wallet back up. unlock screen, tap and you will hear a beep, enter pin, tap again and done. when you get used to it you get faster.

I gave u a Thanks to cheer you up after the embarrassment.
But yep, I am always afraid of using it, anyway my CC gives me cashback so no need for Google wallet, the first thing I do when I root is to take out the *nfc*apk and Wallet.apk so they don't take resources.
I like more the idea of the Apple passbook.

Register NFCs should always be on, and shouldn't be disabled at any time unless it's broken.

Employee returned phone

I received my LG phone back but it's locked and the disgruntled employee smashed the screen. I'm an note3 owner so I'm clueless to the LG Android platform. What are my best options here? I'm considering replacing the screen myself as I've done before on phones but to get into the phone and everything is not an option I assume.

Wow! What happened? Why did the screen get smashed? I would freaking say something.... you shouldn't have to fix it.
If need be, you can pop the back cover off with a guitar pick, or similar. Its just like a Samsung once you get inside. Remove the battery, remove the rear housing, remove the motherboard, vibrator, antennae, etc.

Yeah I've replaced screens before. Suggestions on cheapest place to order one? Local place wants 160 bucks to replace it lol

And there it is. Had this happen at my place of employment. Said person was ultimately fired for a 2$ charge. Giving employees G2s to use, nice boss... Lol

Maybe it"s a factor to some, but idc if it's 2 dollars or 2000, cant stand a thief. I can understand the not bothering part as well, if you ever recover the price it will have cost you even more. Some former employee's of mine thought being the boss makes you rich so you wont notice, both are usually idiotic ideas. Why they think i owe them but they owe me nothing is beyond me.

god, until that explanation, i sat here reading this thread as if you sent your phone back to LG to get something fixed, and then an LG employee was disgruntled, broke the screen, and sent it back to you like that.
i'm sure many others read the story the same way, dude..lol you have to be more descriptive..that's why people are all, "you shouldn't have to pay for this, make them pay for it!" as in, make LG pay for something they did.

I was thinking the same exact thing - except that it was a disgruntled Verizon employee who was the culprit.

Never put it past VZW to send out a warranty replacement with issues lol
Once I get this fixed I may use an upgrade from another line to use the g2 as a spare for myself. Are they locked bootloader like my note 3?
