Yes you still get three free months of play time.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
A while back I think I downloaded and installed a cracked version, it played on my phone for a good while before asking for a subscription, so I uninstalled it. Just the other day while it was on sale I decided to buy it, this is months later, it downloads and installs fine, and once I log in it propted me to buy more game time, so I did. It let me log in once and now when I go to choose my character, when I hit the play button it asks me to buy more game time. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I've emailed gameloft, they have yet to help me out at all.
I woke up this morning and tried to buy the slew of 10 cent apps, but I cannot purchase anything and most of the pages just don't load. Every time I try to buy something it tells me there is an error processing my purchase. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue or if it's just my new G Nexus thats acting up.
It's not the phone. Even if you try to buy from market.android.com from a computer it is saying the same thing.
Guess these problems have likely to do with the millions of users who want to download all the cheapos.

Pretty much what I'm thinking too many people hammering the servers . Figured google would handle this better but perhaps they weren't excepting it to be this demanding. I was able to purchase Need for Speed Shift and install, it but Spirit HD says this: You have already purchased this item and the order is still being processed. If you'd like, you can check your order status at anytime. :/(EDIT: just went through woo)
and when i go to check it (goes to google wallet) it doesn't show anything woo lol.. oh well the day isn't over yet guess just try to make your purchases and eventually they will go through
And I made the purchased on the site, android market app was giving me those error processing errors too.
Most of them are throwing a dollar app these days.

Something like this but even worse happened to some guy in a German forum. He purchased SwiftKey and they refused his order five hours later and now the price is up to normal again. :-D
As all interesting apps are already have been bought earlier I can deal with these market issues pretty good.
Hope there'll come out some more breakers in the next days.
Yea Market is misbehaving. I'm trying to buy some of those $.10 apps on sale today and it keeps erroring out. I did manage to buy one, but it won't download. Tried on my Transformer and market.android.com
I managed to buy 5-6 of them, but now I'm having the same issues... even on the computer won't work
If it is an issue with authorizing/processing purchases, that would be a Google Checkout/Google Wallet issue, not a Market issue.
Had issues, but it seems to work for me now.
I thought I was alone...

Noticed this today! I kind of like where they're going with this, also love the $.50 games (picked up dead space!) and the $.25 Anthony Bordain book I bought today, they're just giving this stuff away! haha.
I think those cheap prices are a limited time. Other than that yea they are doing a $0.25 app per day trying to do the same thing the Amazon AppStore does but with a small price.
I bought the NFS game that came as a demo on the phone. It is different than the one in the play store. It was paid through my tmobile account not the play store. If i root and put on a rom that does not include this demo I will not be able to use an app that I paid for. just as a FYI the one in the play store is a different version its not the one that came on our phone. This post is in response to a MOD closing and removing the apk in another thread. it is not illegal if it is a DEMO. if you paid for the demo it does not mean you can download the one in the play store for free. anyway lesson learned because the demo version on the phone doesn't even get updated so I will always wait and buy apps from Google play. if it was still on sale i would buy it again but not dropping another 7 for something i already bought. To the MOD that deleted the apk Please think before playing internet GOD.
Game can only be purchased through the Google Play legally. If you purchased it from somewhere else, who did you sent the payment to? If you have a receipt than you can try contacting Google for help.
You can save your game progress with Titanium Backup but your phone have to be rooted to use that app.
Also if a demo version is all you are looking for, there are plenty of rooted stock roms that already comes with the demo game.

maybe you didn't read the post. But you are wrong because when the phone first came out the game was not in the play store. it was on teh phone as a demo and when i purchased i was told the payment would be added to my next TMobile bill. The NFS in the app store says shows as not purchased and form what i am told the one that comes on the phone is a slightly different version. only problem with the version on our phone is that it doesn't get updated like the one in the store. I guess my best bet is to use a rooted stock rom and back it up with titanium. I hope the license stays intact im not sure how tmobile handles that.
As I've said if you have a receipt just contact who you purchase from or Google Play store to get help. How much did you pay for the game? If it's $6.99 it should be paid through Google. Are u sure your game is not a demo?

if you buy it again from the tmobil demo and the bill come from tmobile you call to them and you will receive a credit when they check your first pay.

All you need to do is provide a link from the creator of the game that shows it free to download for EVERYONE, ANYTIME. But as you say you PAID for a demo, it IS warez if you provide it for free. {Who pays for a DEMO?} The app that comes with the Note II is a DEMO of the App in the Playstore. When you PAY for it, you get the app in the Playstore.
As T-Mobile doesn't sell apps, who do you think the app was purchased from? I buy a bunch of apps on the Playstore and charge them to my T-Mobile account.
Firstly the demo is not paid version. So demo is not warez. In fact the developer paid Samsung Mobile to have the demo in Galaxy Note 2.
I don't know if the upgrade from demo to full is through Samsung's app store, Google Play store or through the developer themself. So I have no idea how to get around this problem. I would email the developer about this problem.
I bought the full version on the Google Play store when the price was discounted to $0.99. So that is the reason for not knowing. Sorry.

If the demo was freely available to the masses I'd say your have a case but as this was a app that was included with a certain device and not given to the world, I'd have to call it warez.

1) First I do not play games on my phone, but lots do, but I do now apps/paid/demo...as stated in the above comments, does your carrier have a history of free & paid>>apps/demos, just like Google Play. Last time I checked, if I had a paid version of anything, you could still download and install the free version of that app, but why. And if it came with your phone well learning to back your app, if you decide to try another ROM is a must.

listen I have been on this site and planet way longer than you. the internet tough **** doesn't work for me. its not Warez and you hae no clue what you are talking about you cant be older than 15
I understand what the OP was trying to say but was not clear in explaining.
I also purchased the full version of NFS most wanted after playing the demo included on the note 2. It was an in app purchase for $6.99 that was charged to my T-mobile account.
If I go to the play store and search for NFS most wanted it comes up as costing $4.99. It does not say it is installed on my phone or purchased by me.
The issue will be when I root I will no longer have the version that came pre loaded on the note 2.
Is the apk of the demo really warez? If you can't download it from EA, Samsung, or T-mobile then I would say yes.
Still feel screwed over by T-mobile/Samsung on this one as it was miss leading since I thought I was purchasing an app from the play store, not some other market.

I agree I could have posted this to the mod directly but since you still do not know the meaning of warez it wouldn't have helped him understand either. The game posted is still a demo. and to activate it you have to pay through tmobile. you ask why i would pay for a demo? is that a question for real? anyway yes i can back up the game once i have a stock rooted rom blah blah. I have been doing this before you owned a cellphone so no biggie. but you are the boss here so I will obey your rules if i want to play here. the reason i started this thread is because so brat too over the other one that but once again i hear the rantings of kids that can only talk **** behind a computer and aren't even old enough to have a mortgage.

Thanks for making it clear. I originally typed this from my phone. You understood what I meant without much detail due to the fact that you are in the same predicament. I would have hoped to get the response only from someone who was dealing with the same issue but instead people replied without knowing the details I failed to explain. From now on I will post as if I am speaking to my students and my children I long detail.

Understood and Noted, Sir. But your tone is lacking, I am addressing you and this thread in manner to better understand. BTW I would ask you realize I am not one of these kids....and no I am not the boss here or anywhere, I am a Member just like, and I contribute to XDA in my way as a Moderator. I have addressed you in an adult like manner, and Sir I am very aware of what a warez is, and your "for real" question, yes I asked if it was a paid demo.
Bottom-line this app or link, was it>> to a paid app demo or not.

I have been using my Amazon prime to steam tv shows to my phone. Has been working great until yesterday. Now it acts like it's going to play, but doesn't play.
Anybody else watch Amazon from the phone? Anybody willing to try it for me? They have a few free ones.

Same here chatted with Amazon and the answer is it is not a supported device and to wait for updates. Doesnt make sense.
Thanks for the response. I asked for a refund and they promptly gave it to me and cancelled my prime. I only bought it for the videos on the phone.
She also said they would have an android version in the future.
In the meantime, I'm using Netflix.

I thought the issue was a "flash" problem. We got prime for shipping and instant video. Only way I could get it to work was to update flash. That was a while ago, and I haven't messed with it since. What really upsets me is that Amazon has been "talking" about an android instant video app for a long time, but they've yet to do it. However they *do* have apps for Kindle and Apple (may some game boxes?)!!!

Whatever Amazon changed, they also broke the Amazon channel plugins for both Plex and XBMC so just about anybody with a HTPC is dead in the water. There is lots of complaining about it in numerous different places. Below is the email I just got from Amazon customer service. They gave me a $10 credit just for complaining so I suggest they hear from all of us. They strongly imply there will be an app very soon

Attached Amazon Script for issue
Ive attached a screenshot of the conversation i had with the customer service. They are using 11.7 flash for their videos. Apparently the fact that anyone was able to access videos via their browsers on android devices was not supposed to happen. Its clear it was deliberately broken

Which REALLY makes me upset. I emailed them with my displeasure and told them that I would NOT be renewing my Prime subscription which is due to expire this August.
What really makes me upset, and I let them know this as well, is it's NOT a flash issue if that's what they want to use as an excuse. If that's the case, then why is it that Apple products (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) have had the Amazon Instant video app? Apple products have never had Flash on it as Jobs wouldn't allow it. And the Kindle Fire is android-based with a different launcher and no Google Play access, but yet it has Amazon Instant video.
I would argue that they don't want to hurt their Kindle Fire sales, but then why allow it on Apple products as well?
I hope they DO release it, and soon. But, at this point, I'm going to use Vudu/Ultraviolet. I haven't had any issues with them and they have an Android app that streams and downloads my Vudu/Ultraviolet purchases on my Nexus 7. It isn't in HD, but I don't need HD for my tablet and SD looks just fine. If I want HD, then I can watch it on my Roku device instead on my HD tv.
I say, complain to Amazon about this, but do it in a civil manner. No need to be rude about it. Just explain your frustration and let them know that you intend to no longer utilize their service until they do release an app.
I won't be purchasing anymore videos through Amazon until they release the app and I MIGHT reconsidering getting Prime when/if they do release it, but I told them I'm not making any promises.

I recommend asking for a refund if you are not happy. They tend to be very gracious with them, and they gave me a partial refund on my prime membership. I explained that I only got prime to watch the videos. I'm using netflix again, which does not give refunds, but only does a month at a time.
I never really used prime on my phone to watch movies (I have hulu+ and netflix for that) Well, I just checked it out, and yup, broken using skyfire.
I guess it's time to fire off an email to Amazon and get an android version so we can use this service. Hell, you can stream on a kindle, and that's basically android (Gingerbread).

That's my exact point as well. I've pointed that out to Amazon. I just got a reply which appears to state that they ARE working on an app for Android, but it's so vague, who knows. Plus, it could be the person who wrote it didn't use proper grammar.
Here's what I received:
I understand that having this feature will* provide additional convenience to our customers. So,* I’ve taken this as a feedback and forwarded your request* to our Amazon Instant Video team for consideration as we make future improvements and they’re working on it to make this feature available at the earliest.

As I said, the grammar isn't perfect, so it's hard to tell one way or the other. Either they are saying they'll take my suggestions and give it to their Instant Video Team for consideration, OR they are already working on a solution and they'll still give them my feedback.
Can't tell. As I said, vague.

It's a flash problem. That's why Amazon built an app for streaming video, for the iPad and later for the iPhone. But (IMHO) I don't forsee an app for android. I've heard that a lot of people are upset. I even slammed Amazon for it in a few reviews. Honestly don't think they really care. We're not going to renew r prime membership because if this. It's started right after android stopped supporting flash. I was P.O.'d but then found out that I could *still* install flash. Switched to Dolphin browser and played with it for a while. Then just stopped cause I felt that Amazon was being ver "Apple-ish" in their attitude toward android. I won't even bother trying out their free apps.

Most of the people I know (myself included) have Amazon Prime primarily (pun intended) for the free 2-day shipping. The instant video is just a bonus. Yes, it'd be nice to have it work on my phone, but really I'm paying the $79/year or so just to get the free shipping (and I easily make up more than that in saved shipping costs).
That being said, I wouldn't mind if they made an Android app that worked on devices outside of the Kindle Fire line, but I can hardly demand it.

Topherk, agree with you that instant video on my phone is no big deal (though streaming on our tablet, to our bedroom tv's is *pretty* cool). I just think it's kind of a d**k move on Amazon's part to not provide an instant video app to their android customers? As a prime member I also remember seeing "free monthly book rentals". But, that is only for prime members who own kindles. I absolutely love the kindle app, used to buy all my books on amazon. Now I get them from google. Prime members who use android have been asking for an instant video app for months now....

I just think it's kind of a d**k move on Amazon's part to not provide an instant video app to their android customers? As a prime member I also remember seeing "free monthly book rentals". But, that is only for prime members who own kindles. I absolutely love the kindle app, used to buy all my books on amazon. Now I get them from google. Prime members who use android have been asking for an instant video app for months now....

Our main problem is that it was working via a browser but Amazon broke it on purpose last week which has a lot of us ticked.

I'm not saying they broke it on purpose. I would be surprised if anyone was having problems streaming video from their windows boxes. To be honest, I wasn't all that upset when kindle owners got an instant video app. It‘s marketing, and I understand that. But then Apple gets an app??? I assumed (months ago) that android would be next. Hasn't happened...
I agree. I have no intention of renewing my Amazon Prime; as when I initially had a separate account AMAZON suggested that both my husband and I use the Prime Share option. It was because of all the notifications on a few forums around April 17th about AIV that prompted me to try it on all of my stock devices(evo 2.3.4, Original Kindle Fire and SG3 4.1.1) I did a review on it, apparently its about time for me to do an update. I, too have an issue with IOS getting a dedicated app versus android...WHEN IOS DOESNT EVEN SUPPORT OR PROMOTE FLASH. It was nice having an option other than my KF and Netflix, but because of this deliberate non support(not just android, there is a dwindling list of supported viewers) issue AND the crippling Prime Options, there will be no renewal singular from me.
I've also kept my complaints as non accusory and suggestive. Oddly if you can view my screenshot of the conversation android phones were never supposed be able to view via the browser...flipside because android is so fragged an application is difficult to build. Geez, not even a beta and testing?

Yup. It's working again for me as well. Wonder how long before they notice and "break" it again.
