Anyone else unable to download paid apps from the market?
Sent from my Nexus S
It's only available in some countries.
Does GRH78 have a usable Market fingerprint yet?
Paid apps, or PROTECTED apps. They're not the same thing.
This was an issue for everyone, but Google seemed to have fixed it for most of us.
Yes, GRH78 now has a usable Market fingerprint.

If That Is The Case.... & You Can't Get Paid Apps In Your Country, I Just May Have Some Info You Might Find Useful!!
I Know There's A Couple Of Root Required Apps Available,
That Allows The User, To Change Their Location, Sim-Numeric#, Therefore Allowing You To Purchase Paid Apps!!
If You Check.... I Currently Have A Thread For A App Called MarketAccess, There's Also Another App.... Paid Apps Enabler!! Both Allow You Access To Paid Apps!!

What kind of impact do you guys this will have on the market?

Can you be a little more specific?
And a little less vague?
It's like dejavous all over again.
I don't know how this is being vague. In app purchases are new to the android marketplace apparently. The ability to buy more content via an app. Do you think this will bring in more apps because a lot of apps from iOS had that ability and that's what the developers of those apps are waiting for? Games like Tap Tap revenge didn't come to the market until the option for in app purchases were available. Will this bring more popular apps into the marketplace?
When did AT&T finally start let us AT&T guys use the Amazon App store? I noticed today I can now get the Apps there. I know I signed up to be notified when this would start but didn't get an email or I just missed it. I was able to get my 1st Free App this Morning....
if you rooted your phone and then enabled non-market apps, then you could have been using it all along.
i've been using it since they started it, although the free apps have been really sucky lately.

LOL.. I am Rooted didn't know I could been doing it.
Thanks
Yeah, I had it the first day.
The first apps they gave out were awesome, now its all bull****.
Not to mention a lot of their apps are older versions, and Amazon's customer service is mostly phone call based, you can't get the problem solved with email alone.

The free app is decent about once/week..but that's a far sight better than nothing
just keep in mind that whatever app you download from the amazon market, requires amazon market to be installed if you restore it in the future (via TiBu or similar app). You cannot restore an amazon app and exclude the market
Good to know, I didn't realize that. Though I did have a few issues early on with apps not... "authenticating" I think, it's been a while since I've seen it happen tbh.

I restore apps from amazon market by using TiBu and haven't had issues. Is it because I am also restoring amazon market at the same time that I haven't had issues?

Exactly. If you ever uninstall amazon market (or not restore it with tibu) they won't work anymore. I know this pisses off some people, but I don't think it's really that big a deal.
Not really, just leave it on, check the free app daily, otherwise leave it alone. But get any normally free apps from the main market, Amazon's evaluation process keeps them a version behind on most from what I saw.

me neither. I like to see what they offer each day. Once in a while, it's a really good app. I wonder if Freezing the amazon market will still allow you to use the apps from it.

Out of curiosity I just tested this. Freezing the Amazon Appstore causes both "Free Apps of the Day" and also regularly purchased paid apps to stop working. If you buy it on Amazon you have to keep the Appstore running and signed in to your account. I suppose I'll direct my future purchases toward the Google Market based on that and a few other variables.
Why do people care that amazon appstore needs to be installed for apps to work? Is anyone planning to uninstall it? The android market is installed and I don't think too many folks plan to uninstall it
I don't like being forced to keep the amazon store open, but I understand the need to. Otherwise they'd have to fiddle with every paid app so it checks with their servers not google to see if it's authentic. They're behind enough on their versions already.
Its also a bit annoying if you forget to install the amazon store with your backup.

Is it any different than Samsung's included version though?

I'd say that if you get it via the Amazon store, you'll have access to future upgrades that you probably won't get with Samsung's version.
I did what I normally due with most of these Amazon freebies. I purchase them, it starts the download, and then I cancel the install.
If I ever happen to need that program in the future, I just go to the Amazon App Store and its waiting to be downloaded and installed.
That's a pretty cool idea actually.

Yeah, it works well and I don't have 100 different apps cluttering up my phone and taking up space. The annoying part is that when I open the Amazon App store I always have 20+ apps waiting to be downloaded. I have to scroll through a list to find out what I have. Plus, I haven't found a way to delete a program I no longer want.
I tried downloading QuickOffice Pro from the Amazon App store yesterday many times throughout the day, and kept getting an error. So much for getting it free.
I need a app I can use to bypass my schools block while in apps, the for project app did that but it doesn't seem to work on either the tab 2 10.1 or on CyanogenMod. Anyone know of a good one? Would be greatly appreciated, I can't even use my apps to listen to music.

Best one that works is free in the play store called DroidVPN. You will only get 100MB free per day or you can pay $4.99 for one month unlimited. It has worked anywhere I have been blocked. It bypasses firewalls with filtering software. You will need to go to droidvpn.com and create a free account.
EDIT: Just noticed they have a free 1GB per day now.
