I took out a free trial on the Android magazine, and it's rather good.
https://play.google.com/store/magazines/details?id=CAowq9HnAw&feature=my-library
I don't think there is much we are missing now in the UK. We have the full content set, and if anything, more than the US (as we have scan and match on Google Music...)

Every magazine I go to on the Store states that 'This item isn't available'. I am using a rooted N7 with CM10 and the Play Magazine app installed.

How much are the subscriptions?
And whats the difference between subscribe and purchase?
Does purchase get the specific mag, whereas subscribing charges you automatically everytime a new issue is released?
Whats the advantages of subscribing?
THANKS!

Android mag is 32quid for a year sub ,normally in paper 52 + the mags by them selves are 2.99 as opposed to 5 quid !! Can't lose !!!!!!!

Great, but that would only make a saving of £2? For buying a year.
I'd rather just buy episodes that look appealing than save £2 and have to have them all.
Because if theres 2/3 issues I don't really enjoy, thats another £6.
Although I agree that buying on Google rather than paperback is a win win.

Probably a silly question but, if I subscribe to the free trial, download the magazine then cancel the subscription, do I lose the downloaded magazine?
On the other hand, why don't I just try it?

+1 to this.
And additionally if you get the trial, once the trial has ended does it prompt you or does it just automatically start your subscription?

Don't know but I would strongly suspect that the subscription would start automatically without warning.
I have been caught out many times 'trying' various things this way and these people know that!

I believe it holds the money for the trial period, and if you don't cancel, then money is then taken...
If you purchase, it's just that issue (in which case, take a free trial, read it and then cancel), if you subscribe, it's all of them. I'm guessing you can only try each magazine the once....
I did a trial subscription for the Android mag and it shows:
Android Magazine - FREE_TRIAL You will be charged £26.82, plus tax, at the end of each 1-year billing cycle, starting on 11 Jan 2013.

I am confused. Looking at Autocar for example it is showing as £2.99 a month (its a weekly magazine) or £99.99 for the year.
Aside from the fact that it is £89.99 a year direct from their website, why would you go for the yearly option?

I just paid 32 quid for the year for android mag as opposed to 50+ quid to me that's not bad !

I have signed up for the 30 day trial for the android magazine. It is a good read but there is only 13 issues so I don't think it is such great value. Also with Zinio you can get the same subscription for £27.49 for 13 issues which is 15% off the cover price. The price is £32.99 from the play store. Worth the trial but that's it!

I'm using a standard stock nexus 7 and getting the same response

Plex and Avia free today

With Amazon offering 5 free apps = 1000 Amazon coins ($10) for purchases from the Amazon App Store currently, you can get both Plex and Avia (in app upgrade) for free and still have plenty left over to get a game or two.
- You must buy through the Amazon App Store, using your U.S. account (Canadian account won't work)
- You have to "purchase" and download the 5 listed free apps, but you don't have to install them unless you want to
- You get 200 Amazon coins for each of them, arrives in your account within a minute or so
- You can then use the 1000 coins for buying apps or making in-app purchases up to $10 worth
Definitely works for Plex and the Avia in-app upgrade. AllCast not listed unfortunately (there's an AllCast for FireTV, so Amazon may consider the Chromecast version a competitor)

actually if you haven't already, use 700 of those coins to buy GTA and get an additional 2000 coins. this plus the info above left me with a bunch of free apps (which you don't have to install if you don't want) GTA which i believe is for Fire TV and therefore have no use for. plex, avia and $22 in coins to use for future purchases. Thanks for reminding me to try my US account and not just my canadian account. Thought I was SOL.

Amazon have lost their minds. With all the promos they're offering this weekend, I've so far downloaded 3 paid apps I wanted for free, and ended with $30 in app store credit to spend in future. Since you can start with a free download that gives you some credit, and then leverage that to give you back more credit than you spend, I bet with a little work you could end owning every app that Amazon offers and still have a $1 million credit!

Those free coins doesn't happens usually. I'm too with like 3300 coins ($33) in my account. If I'm not wrong, they expire after a year.

Yes, these deals are infrequent. You are also correct - promotional/bonus coins expire after a year, but they are used before purchased coins when redeeming, so as long as you get something with coins every now and then, you will be fine.

But for some reason Amazon is giving away more coins than advertised at the moment. For example people buying GTA San Andreas for 699 coins are getting back 2500 coins instead of the advertised 2000. I bought a 99 cent app offering 30 coins back and got 200 coins instead. Ditto for other apps offering coins.

Yeah.. I saw that. Probably a bug. I evem bought one and the coins didn't change.

Nice find. Any other recommended apps? I am in Canada as well, just had to indicate a US address on account. Hope this does't spoil it. Had to purchase the San Adreas via PC but I don't have a kindal Worth for the bonus.
Looking to spend the rest of these coins too, any other apps recommended? Don't have too many via Amazon, picked up the Avia for sure or was it Plex, i dunno, i like free stuff.
Thanks OP and follows ups for the tips.
FYI i was using a VPN via phone to make purchases however, online just had to log into account.

So you just put a US address on your Canadian account and it worked?

Many of the Amazon app special offers are U.S.-only, and while Amazon coins are now supported in several countries, they aren't yet in Canada. But all you have to do to take advantage of these offers if you have an existing Canadian Amazon account is change the country in your account settings to United States, and give it any U.S. address (tip: you might want to choose a tax-free state, because taxes do apply to digital purchases). You don't have to use a VPN.
You could also create a separate U.S. Amazon account, but be aware that Amazon apps are DRM-restricted to one account. Every time an Amazon app runs on your Android device it checks the current Amazon account login on the device to make sure it matches (you will be prompted to log in if you are not currently logged in to Amazon). The app will refuse to run if the device is not logged in to the correct Amazon account. You can only be logged in to one account at a time. If you have some apps purchased through one Amazon account and some purchased another Amazon account, you will have to keep switching accounts to run them. There is no way to consolidate app purchases on different accounts. However apps purchased by one account with different countries selected at different times are fine because it's all one account. And you can use the same account and purchased apps on any number of devices.

Thanks for that breakdown. I had originally used my separate account for the US stuff and put that on my tablet. but getting my canadian account recognized was the better move. wish I had learned of this sooner but still took advantage of this promo.

Just got paid

So I'm heading over to Walmart to get a Chromecast.
I want root, eventually. Is it possible to use it out of the box without automatically updating and losing rootability?

you will loose root ability they just updated to a newer version because there was a new root method disclosed recently. so leave it unplugged.

@BurnOmatic is correct....
Better order up the things you need to root it before you power it up or you might get updated and lose the ability to root it after that.

Buying from Motorola?

So I was luckily able to buy a Nex 6 from Motorola a few weeks ago. I did notice today though on the play store page for the Nex 6 you get benefits such as free Google play all access for 6 months. So does the one I bought from Motorola receive these things or not?

I did the same I would like to know as well.

No but one plus is that you can buy motocare insurance which is pretty cheap as far as insurance goes.

I got mine from motorola today, I can confirm that you get 6 months play access free, as well as the free movie download (gravity) and a free e-book. I also plan on buying motocare, it's $139 up front for 2 years and allows 3 replacements for $39 a pop.
edit: this does not apply if you are already a subscriber or, I believe, have used the other free month trial.
