Activate 50GB Google Drive Promotion? - Moto X Q&A

For some reason I did not see the pop-up for the 50gb promotion when I opened up google drive for the first time. Any ideas on how I could activate the promotion?

I forget....Is Google Drive pre-installed on the MotoX or not? I'd try clearing data/cache on it and try again. If downloaded from the play store, you could even go as far as uninstalling and re-downloading. Reason I asked if it was pre-installed was because if it's a system app, then you could try a factory reset from the phone settings. If all else fails, I guess you'd have to contact google.

Or....click the menu dots. Then product tour.

Google Hangouts

As you guys may know, Google has integrated all their communication systems into the new Google Hangouts and it is started to rolling out.
Just wanted to let all root users know that you don't need to wait to get it as for some your Google Talk isn't being updated to Hangouts currently. Like if you have Talk currently and you go to the playstore and search hangouts it will say you already have it installed and you are updated to Hangouts even though you only have talk.
If you use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall Talk from your device, you can then go on to the playstore and be able to download and install the new Hangouts app.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned as I haven't seen a thread but just wanted to let people on to this little tip if you want to get it right away!
EDIT: I'm thinking now I might have probably posted this in the Themes and Apps forum, but I wasn't exactly sure if this should have been posted there as this is just a general tip. If any Mod wants to move this please do!

You don't need to uninstall Google talk... You can use the Web Google play to install hangouts and it will automatically replaces the old talk or obtain the apk file from the web and install it over the Google talk.

I agree. I really miss the who is online and who is offline thing. You can VAGUELY tell by the contacts picture being grayed out, but that sucks compared to a red dot. Hit the menu button in the hangout app and hit send feedback. Request for this feature to be put back in.
Had problem today
Solution: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...s-cant-sign-updated-solution.html#post2789468
1.Use some app to take backup of Google Play Services (ES File Explorer can do it for you) and save the apk locally. This is recommended because after the next step you may not be able to connect and re-download the update over Mobile Data. It would work on WiFi however.
2.Go to Manage Apps > Google Play Services
3.Do "Uninstall" / "Uninstall Updates" for Google Play Services
4.Google Hangout will automatically ask you to Install or Update Google Play Services.
5. If you "Uninstalled Updates", then the app would update over Mobile Data when you click on update in Google Play. After this go to Step #8
6.If you "Uninstalled" the app completely, you wouldn't find it in Google Play. So install it from the backup created in Step #1.
7.Now go to Google Play and install any updates for Google Play Services.
8.Now open Google Hangout. It may still show you a connection issue for a couple for times.
9.Don't lose your heart. It should work after you try for a maximum of 1-2 times.

I haven't been a huge fan of hangouts either yet. I use textra. I have heard that there might be some nice things in the works for it though. I'm keeping tabs on it.

[Q] Google play music

So I made a booboo... I tried to set up a subscription using "bill to account" while connected to WiFi. Of course it errors out but unlike buying an app in the play store this one keeps the error. It will only give me debit or credit option with a message at the top pretty much saying billing to the account was not allowed. I've tried uninstalling the app and wiping cache but when reinstalling the app it gives same code. Any help would be great...
When I set up a new gmail account the option is there but not with current one. Is there a way to wipe all saved settings from her gmail account. Maybe that might help.
Stupid stupid stupid Google. For anyone else. If you want Google play all access don't try to add it to your account while connected to WiFi

Try clearing the cache or even data for the play store.

Stupid as it is, that definitely doesn't always clear relevant settings. I have no idea why (other than sloppy uninstallation routines), but it really doesn't. Has billing to your account worked elsewhere recently/how long has it been since this started? It might be a server-side issue.

I've been able to apply this setting on several phones. Before and after. 2 just today. But with the others it was done through sprints network not WiFi. This was done through WiFi and got stuck. Now I can't get it to reset so I can setting up the subscription properly. I got in contact with Google and all they can tell me is if I'm trying to apply something to a bill I have to use the carrier data not WiFi. And if I accidentally use WiFi and it fails to just back out, disconnect WiFi and enable carrier data and retry. But Google play music is the only service outside of the play store that uses these same methods but can not be undone as instructed. I told them that and I have not gotten a response yet and it's been several days.

Play Store Error

I have searched and called high and low all over Google and talked to reps. Can't seem to kick this Error Code 403. It is only the paid apps that won't download. Tried all sorts of methods of clearing cache to play store, Google services, Google framework, Uninstall updates, Factory resets, Removing accounts and re adding. Clearing cache in recovery. All with restarting before attempting a redownload on both WiFi and mobile networks. Please someone help. Out of the box it does this to me and it sucks.

Had very similar happen with my Mega right out of the box. Not even the techs coukd figure it out.
I went into app manager and force closed app first, then cleared its data and cache.
Go back out and started up play store like normal. Cant remember if I got error first time, but okayed it and started it again. Then it loaded in and havent had issue since

Update the latest version of play store.
Did you have multiple Google accounts on your last phone? Make sure you are downloading the app with the same account that you originally made the purchase with. I had multiple accounts on my S3, then when I got my S5 I only put one of the accounts back on and was getting this error for a few apps even though GPlay said "purchased". You might also want to check that the date and time on the phone are correct.

You were absolutely correct. For some reason some of my purchased apps were showing on the wrong account under the all section. It went away after wiping and being careful which account I downloaded from. Thanks for the help guys.

Just use only one account in play store. don't do multiple.

Cool story bro.
Jk. How about some more info? Are you running something custom? Have you tried anything to fix it, like any reset steps? Is the local Walgreens the only place you had a problem? Gotta give us something to work with here... ☺

Try completely uninstalling the app, reinstall, try again. Have you checked to make sure NFC is working otherwise? Maybe test it if you have an nfc sticker or by trying to tap-to-connect to another device. Clearing Google play services cache or logging out of your Google acct, then back in may help too. There is a chance it may have been the receiver at this one store. Perhaps try another place after some of these steps and see if it works. Also, was the payment coming back "denied" or was it just not reading it? If it's being denied, it may have to do with fund processing with your account, and not anything to do with hardware / software. Try making a payment with your Google card to see.

Completely uninstalling the app would not be an option without root since Google Wallet is a system app now.
Yeah you can't uninstall the app but I did a wipe data and cache didn't work in installed update still didn't work. Might try a factory data reset. Hopefully this will work. I did use another card it still wasn't reaponding . The cashier says tender cannot be processed Google wallet is telling me denied. For more info press help. The help didn't really tell me anything.
I'd also like to mention it was working before I took the of1 update. Wondering if the new update has anything to do with it

Definitely could be, but I can't confirm since I am rooted with a custom ROM based on the OE2 firmware.

Im in the US....but now I seem to be able to make the app work only when I went into the settings area with turning on android pay within the Google account area. I just can not make the app short cut on the home page or the app icon inside the app drawer open the app. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling....but same thing.
I am also using Nova Launcher .....could that be why the app icon wont trigger the app from staring up?

Where did you find that? I don't see any such settings in my "Google account area".
This app will tell you whether or not it's due to your device failing Google Play Services' SafetyNet API. Android pay will only work if the result is Green

Awesome app.....thanks so much for that StykerB. It says my Google Play services connection failed....
I cleared the cache from Google Play Services and Google Play Store....still wont allow the Android Pay Icon on my home screen and the one in the app drawer to work.
But I CAN OPEN the Android Pay app and use it when I open from the Settings>Google> Android Pay scenario. Odd...what is causing the app icons to error out?

I had a similar type of error at some point and what ended up fixing it was uninstalling updates from Google play services rebooting and letting it reupdate itself

Thanks! Unfortunately mine is grayed out with only the option to add cards, because I still haven't been able to get Android Pay set up.
Mine didn't start working until I reflashed 100% complete stock.. I used the wugz tool kit and reflashed to 100% stock.. I still have an open bootloader though.. I had to turn off Google play services reboot then it automatically updated and boom worked.. I didn't even loose my data..

If you didn't lose data, I assume you used Wugz ‘Flash Stock + Unroot’ with ‘No Wipe Mode’, which "preserves your userdata and cache". That is essentially how I got from 5.1.1 to 6.0 and then to 6.0.1 with fastboot.
How did you turn off Google play services? Disable and Force Stop are grayed out in Settings, Apps. I'm already at Google Play services 8.4.89, which is newer than the 7.3 that the Play Store shows. I think I'll give it a try...

Immediately rebooted then it auto updated then I got to use Google wallet and the rest of my apps downloaded updates... I'm pritty sure if you have root it will not work period

Yes, I am rooted at the moment with Chainfire's systemless root 2.64. My plan is to reflash with fastboot, not root, activate Android Pay long enough to buy something and get my $20, and then root again. I still don't see any advantage to pulling out my phone to pay for something, when I can swipe a real card faster. I'm a sucker for free money though.
