I have my phone and tablet linked to my Google Apps for Business Acct and I can't access Google Play Movies because it's an enabled service. Anybody else with a Google Apps acct have this same problem? Is there a place I can contact support for google?
The main reason I started this thread is because I had trouble visiting Google Play without Android automatically opening the app.
To view your account details for Google Play you must click on the link below which will show you your account details, apps, music, books and movies in a list.

Irony, it still opens the play store's front page for me. It's simply set as default.
A good way to open Web pages to services that you permanently linked to an app tho, without clearing defaults, is to open them in a new tab
Google has put out awesome (and some not so awesome) apps to help out on your everyday life and entertainment.
How do you use these apps?
Watch a movie using Chromecast or other device?
Maps to find your way home?
Play Music to jam ?
what is the most useful app to you and how does it help or entertain you?????

I use:
Youtube every day (Most channels offerings are better than TV)
Maps (Sat-Nav occasionally)
Google Play (Obvious reasons)
Google search (^Ditto^)
Again the most useful is Youtube as it generally serves as my main news source
Google Ads (Yeah that is where my money come from)
Youtube (Obvious)
Google Search (..No comment...)
Gmail (I prefer Outlook but still use Gmail because of work)
Chromecast (Have one and it's bored)
Maps (The most accuracy map in my place)
Google Play (Unavoid-able)
Google Drive ....
Many more..
Google search on daily basis
Google drive, sheets, docs to keep sync between Android and PC, also edit sheets with both
Gmail as a primary mail address
Videos from YouTube (watching and sharing own videos privately with friends)
Maps & streetview for searching places (panoramio is also one good place when "web-travelling" )
Hey,
I was wondering is there any difference in disabling system apps(bloatware) or removing them?
Also I have something like a bug with the RAM, my device is showing that I have almost 400MB of free ram and there is almost no ram being used. This can t be real. Must bee some kind of bug. Does anyone else have something like this?!

There is.
I'm using the Russian version, downloaded from XperiFirm and flashed with Flashtool
If you disable or delete bloatware, or system apps you can feel the difference between when you remove it, and when you don't. The phone can withstand 5-6 days without doing anything to it. (14-19hrs If you play games, listen to music, etc..)
That must be a Software bug, I suppose.

So I have one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I have successfully installed Google Play, Play Services, Account Managements, and Services Framework and gotten everything to work. One of the games my kids enjoy playing is Disney Crossy Road. I know this is in the Amazon App Store, but one of the issues with it being in Amazon is they don't save progress, plus I use my account across my kids devices. If I make each kid a Google account, they have their own cloud save for the game. I got this all working on my daughter's Fire and it syncs with her Google Play account.
We just recently purchased my son one of the $49 Kindle Fires and I tried to do the same thing for him. I used Method #2 found here: lifehacker[dot]com/how-to-get-google-play-on-a-kindle-fire-and-install-any-1790706649 to install Google Play on his Kindle. I have installed 4 games from Google Play on his Kindle including Tiny Tower, Township, and Disney Crossy Road. I have the settings to allow non-Amazon apps to run. Tiny Tower and Township sync up with his Google Play account with no problem. But his Disney Crossy Road does not sync with Google Play. Google Play says it is installed and I can click the Play button from it and it will open the app, but none of the achievements pop, and when I open it on my daughter's Kindle, in the settings, there is a button with the gamepad icon to show it's synced. I cannot get this icon to show on my son's Fire. I have reinstalled the app 4-5 times and rebooted the tablet. I even tried downloading the app from apkmirror.com to see if that would help, but I cannot get it to work.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get Disney Crossy Road to sync with Google Play? Thanks for your help!
"Google Play" is a whole suite of different apps, not all of which are installed by default when you sideload the "Google Play Store".
Open up the Google Play Store, and search for "Google Play Games". Install that, and see if your games start syncing then?

If you can't install Google Play Games from the Play Store (-505 error) grab a copy from APKMirror and sideload.

Wow, I swore I responded yesterday but I also have Google Play Games installed. I am able to see his achievements for other games through this, that is how I know his other games are syncing properly. Any other ideas?

Not at the individual app level - sorry.
So I was playing around with this a little more and went into the Google Settings app. Inside here, there is a link for the Connected Apps section and I noticed Disney Crossy Road is not here. Any ideas if there is a way through here that I can try to enable the connection?
Thanks again!

The app must request access (typically on initial launch)...and you must grant it. There is no mechanism for auto-authorization or forcing a manual request (obvious acuity implications).
So I got it to work last night! I don't know which of the two things did it, but I reinstalled the app again but this time in game, I set his age to 18. Then from Google Play, I said I wanted to record in game footage. After playing the intro level, it synced with Google Play. For my daughter's Fire,I put her actual age and it worked. That's why I'm not sure which change fixed it, but now it works! Thanks for your help and suggestions!
