[Q] Only Free Apps in Play Store - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just received my M8 today and I have set it up fine however I can only see free apps in the Play Store - there are no paid apps anywhere.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
OT: How do you screenshot on an M8?

Screenshot press vol down and power at same time and hold.
Play store just select a category then top selling from the tabs above.

This is what I mean about the app store...

Do you have a payment method stored on your account? Never seen this before, but I would think that could be a possible cause.

I don't as of yet as my bank account is overdrawn and it won't let me add it. I also thought this could be the reason.
I've got some money going into my account this morning so fingers crossed...

I highly doubt your account being overdrawn is an issue!

Well it wouldn't authorise my card until I had money in my account however I still can't see paid apps...

Well I can't see or even filter between free and paid apps when I do a search. I can however see Top Free, Top Grossing etc if I swipe from left to right, tap on Store Home, then tap on apps and then swipe left once and choose photography from the Categories list, then it shows all, free, paid, top grossing etc.
Sucks that it doesn't show those filters when you're doing it as a search.

I've spoken with Google Support and they said it's because I live on the Isle of Man. I didn't have this issue with my last phone and none of my friends have this issue but the rep I spoke with is confident that is the reason.

Nah I doubt that's the issue, I live in South Africa and I could still do payments etc And South Africa is usually one of the countries that completely lose out when it comes to things like that, heck we don't even have proper paypal support for example.

It probably is. In terms of technology, living in the Isle of Man might as well mean living in the middle of nowhere. It's a complete joke.
I replied to the email the Google Support rep sent me after my phone call:
I think I have to be honest here; the issue was last updated over a year ago. Why does it look like Google has given this issue such little attention?
The Isle of Man is a constituent of the United Kingdom so I don't see any issues...
I feel like I've been left out to be honest, all because of where I live. This shouldn't be an issue yet it is and I don't quite understand what barriers are in place to stop some residents of the Isle of Man from purchasing paid apps. Could you please let me know the reason for this? Or could you please put me in touch with someone who can?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that though. Obviously the problem isn't just PCs or Tablets like they mentioned in the articles seeing as the phone for the OP also has this issue.
Silly stuff really.
Oh well, get on a PC, pop out that Tor browser and make google think you're in Finland. :cyclops:

I'm not really sure. Probably worth a shot.
I know using Tor can make google think you're from a different country than you're currently in but I don't know if the payment you'll do will work or not. You'll of course have to sign in to google and then buy it still, CC is probably on their system already.
Don't know if it'll work if you go through Tor(Let's say you're in the "UK" now "London") then signing up for a new google account and add your necessary info(Will credit card work still?) and then attempting to download it.
I haven't done it myself so I can't really confirm, haven't had this problem like you're having now but, who knows, it's maybe worth a shot.

it’s quite simple,
you hold down the power button for
a couple seconds and then you
press the home button. Make sure
you don’t hold down the Power
button for too long, or else you will
see the Power dialog. Hit THANKS If i helped

Yeah I think he already figured how to do the screenshots... :good:

Your best bet is the root the phone if you haven't done so already. Then install Xposed and this module. This has a function to unrestrict the Play store. Hopefully that will work.

Note that it will NOT allow you to download apps that are not offered in your country, or restricted by anything but your custom DPI.
Stated so in the article, but I suppose it won't hurt to have a look either way.

Car home

Hello everyone!
Maybe a dumb question, but how do you activate the car home?
A lot of reviews mentionned it, but I can't find it on my phone...
Thanks.
Not a dumb question at all..
I can't help you I'm afraid.
In addition to what you are seeking, I'm about to start a search looking for the morning Alarm Clock screen with Home Apps as well.
Use car dock once it comes it, or has it?
Using it will activate car home.

Negative... this screen operates independently of the car dock.
Think of it this way ~ how on earth can a piece of hardware control what you see on your screen if the items are not there in the first place.
What about the Morning screen with it's large digital clock and several morning applications all in landscape mode and the TV Remote control?
You can't say until we get the hardware we can't see those screens and apps as well!

Car Mode
In its in-car mount, GALAXY S turns into my own personal assistant—instantly providing me with weather, Google maps, Google voice search, and navigation services. Getting directions is as easy as simply speaking my request. With Google Maps Navigation, GALAXY S not only fetches the directions, but lets me choose 3 ways to view them—in real- time with Real Street View, Traffic View, or Satellite View.
Desk Mount
GALAXY S knows how to bring my day to a relaxing end. When set on its side in the cradle or docking station, GALAXY S switches to a new interface, selecting four vital functions needed to help transition into a lasting, satisfying state of rest—table clock, audio station, digital photo frame and calendar.

True true, but according to the way that Samsung phrases it, it appears to be the way I've stated it. Correct or no?
So far everything that I've said is speculations BASING on official sources.
Yes it's not 100% correct, but at least pretty high accuracy.

I understand completely what you are saying here but it was Samsung themselves who told me the apps are already installed.
It just seems so weird you need a mount of some sort to display them.
Taking this further, what about the Remote TV Controller, how the heck can we put this same logic into practice?
hi
First post but hopefully not the last
I just got my galaxy s yesterday
the remote app is actually in the samsung app store BUT its not availeble for the Galaxy s (atleast not yet) its for the samsung 8500 and 8500L. the samsung apps store lets you DL the apps but not install them.. the apps extension is .APP contra .APK for android

It just feels like everything on this phone is about waiting for Samsung, I suspect all these features will eventually appear, its just about having the patience to wait for them.
Still waiting for the Home Dock, the Car Dock, the TV control, for Kies to recognize the 9000 on the app store, for spare batteries, for firmware updates... and of course Froyo.

I have patience, no doubt about that. I need it by the bucket load in my profession.
What annoys me though is when a department fail to provide material facts, especially when these facts have been mentioned that long they now appear as works not of fact but fiction.
Yes, they will come but in the meantime it remains shoddy there is nothing available of material in both the items and information.
Agreed, its pretty poor that they didn't at least add the token '* coming Sept 2010' instead of faking up the applications and presenting them as ready and available now.

Logic?
The logic that we gotta employ is simply regard Samsung's strategy as NOT using any logic at all.
Like we discussed last time, 2011+ tv only.
I guess the only way for us to find out is to email Samsung. Someone should compile a list of "urgency" questions and we'll all send it to Samsung Mobile department.
-------------------------------------------------------------
But Beardds, at least they have released the phone first right?
I mean com'on, it's better than waitin for both the phone PLLUSSSS the support.
And to reply to your "firmware support" concern, I've seen new firmware updates nearly every other day, I might be wrong but you should check out Samsung Firmware "official' site

This is strange, confusing and disappointing.
Why has Samsung released these apps which we have been asking them time after time but with no response and yet here you find them listed.
The European SIM free Galaxy S does not list any of these apps on either the Samsung or general Market.
Could you upload the .apk files so that we can check to see if they will install and load please?
So Samsung support wasn't that crazy when they said it could be on the market already, just not for the i9000
Funny how the US versions seems to get preferential treatment, in both accessories and software. Still no dock or cases to be found on the EU sites

[Q] WM7 internet Data Counter

Good day guys.
I got my brand new omnia 7 and i was wondering abiout the possibility to keep in control the 3g data used per month.
is there any apps or any way to control the amount of data used (and i'm talking about the data used through the carrier).
Thak you very much

oh s##t you right! I was hung up to Windows mobile but now is WP7.. I meant Windows phone 7. I don't belive there is not internet data counter!!!
I have a live tile on my homescreen which is a link to the following website;
http://wap.o2.co.uk/myo2account/myprepayallowance
This webpage gives me my remaining credit, how many free texts I have left and how much data I have left. So it provides a data counter.
This is for UK O2 Pay as you go, but I'm sure other carriers provide similar mobile web pages for their customers to see their account status.
There's really no need for an app. Just find out the URL from your carrier and pin the page to your home screen. Et voila!

I don't know this guy, but I'd love to... anyway, my carrier (WIND) does have a website but it doesn't give the chance to track the amount of bytes that have been used... i know.. it's sad!!
Nonetheless, I keep saying that this option should be given for this amount of money
it is indeed a bit weird that a smartphone wouldn't provide this information, but hopefully MS wise up a bit and bring it in as part of an update sometime soon.
i don't believe you'll see a proper app for this (possibly a homebrew one might come along though) as the proper APIs for this haven't been made available (i think anyways).

i definitely understand what you're talking about. and yes there is still a lot missing. hopefully MS actually takes the time with these updates to implement some of these features which i don't think would take all that long to code. but for now, be patient. perhaps post your ideas on social.microsoft.com, as that is the direct communication line with them. and perhaps in one of the pinned threads (future updates i think it is), so that we can keep track of features we'd like to see.

do we even know why you need a silent shudder???
some want it. from what i've read in the past, HTC phone's shutter sound obays the actual volume you set, so if you set the volume to 0, you get no shutter sound. this doesn't apply to Samsung and LG phones though. but i think having a silent shutter should be added.

Roam Control is off the Market, but now has a dedicated website

Update 3:
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
The developer, MrGreg, has created a dedicated website for the distribution of Roam Control. The application will remain off the Google Market for now.
Relevant blog posts from the new website: http://www.roamctrl.com/
Jan-03-2011:
Roam Control 2.1.0 is now available. It contains the same functionality as versions 2.0.0 (which were previously available in the market), but it was updated to be compatible with the new servers. Please see the download page for links.
Jan-01-2011:
Roam Control for Android is now available through this website! We appreciate your patience while we transitioned from the Android Market to our own site. The website is still under construction, but we will be adding more information in the coming weeks.
Many things have been implemented from the ground up (PayPal integration, licensing server, etc), so please let us know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions. Thanks!!

Update 2:
It once again appears that the application was pulled off the Market by Google.
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
NOTE (12/21/2011): I'm sorry to report that Roam Control has pulled from the market yet again. It's the same story as before...I received an automated email from Google that did not provide any specifics on why the app was pulled. I have tried to appeal the decision numerous times, but I have yet to receive any type of acknowledgement or response from the Android market team.
As a temporary solution for customers who have already purchased the app, the app can be downloaded here:
- For users who purchased the original app (version 1.7.0 or earlier), please use the version available here: LINK
- For users who purchased the new app (version 2.0.0.g2), please use the version available here: LINK
I'm obviously not going to put the app back on the market unless I get the go-ahead from Google. As an alternative, I will likely either make the app available through the Amazon Appstore or directly through this website. Please stay tuned for details.

Update 1:

I still have not received a response from Google indicating why the app was pulled from the market, so be aware that it's possible they may pull the new versions as well.
For users who already purchased the previous app, please use the version available here: LINK
For new users who have not yet purchased Roam Control, please use the version available here: LINK

Just a FYI: Roam Control Website
Copied directly from the website linked above: said:
NOTE (11/29/2011): I received an email today from Google indicating that Roam Control was removed/suspended from the market. I did not receive any explanation, other than it was "due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy." I'm working on getting the app restored, however I've come to understand that Google is incredibly unresponsive in these situations. If I cannot reinstate the app, I will certainly make it available in some other fashion. To those who have already purchased the app, I certainly do not expect anyone to pay for it a second time. As a temporary measure, the latest version of the app can be downloaded here.

Also, all proceeds (after fees) for 12/5, 12/6, and 12/7 (2PM CST cutoff) will be donated to one or more needy families in MN school district 621. One family is a single mom who is supporting two kids while dealing with health issues. Thank you for your generosity and kindness during this holiday season! I will provide the total amount donated, along with statements upon request.
i'm not sure if i quite understand what this app does versus me manually changing my roaming settings. Can someone explain for me? thanks !

App published but not in MP

Got my 2 apps published and can see the same under my AppList, it says certified and it is under the Publised tab, but it is still not showing up in the MP.
Any idea?
Publishing can take 24-48 hours.
It does take time. 24-48 hours is pretty accurate. I have been able to see my published apps in the website http://windowsphone.com/marketplace but could not find it by searching the marketplace. It'll get there, the system just takes a while to sync up. Patience!

The "deep link" should start working in 12 hours. App become searchable on mp in 24-36 hours.

Yeah and watch out.. do NOT click Edit Details unless you want to get caught in a metadata loop for a week.. just to have support give you "workarounds" that don't work lol <--- speaking from experience

This is very true. Your app will then show a status of "Submission Started" or something to that effect. I don't think it actually hurts a published app but I had this and it generally confused me. You can always go back in and click "Cancel Submission" to leave your app as is though.

I wasn't able to cancel the submission. I made them cancel the certification and turns out I still had to make a metadata update in order to escape it lol. Oh well, I'll know next time.
Marketplace publishing process (comparing with year ago) now become very slow and annoying. And MS still want to expand developers community! I'm afraid if developers should wait two or more weeks to be published (actually, I'm talking more about quick bugfixes etc., not the initial submission), developer's interest to WP7 platform will reduced.

On top of that, the Dashboard is not current, frequently broken and should really have more data for developers to be able to know stats of their apps (other than just download count and crash count).

Definitely. To reply to sensbostons post. What you say is correct. My app got published and a bug occurred immediately that I needed to post an update to. Needless to say I was JUST able to upload my updated xap yesterday and the bug happened two weeks ago. The support is horrible as I was instructed to do things that ultimately led to pushbacks. Do they want their developers to have faith in this Marketplace? I've been wondering that. That dashboard... The buggiest thing of all. Sometimes I refresh and it tells me it doesn't have my tax information at all.

Yeah after entering my tax information about 10 times, I realized they have it. Just that the dashboard's buggyness is something to live with for now.

Ugh, I just entered it again, I didn't realize this.
Yes to echo what others have said, on top of normal app maintenance having to fight with the App Hub's slowness and constant errors doesn't get me excited for app writing.
Interesting post on overwriting a successful submission.

I cant its a korean widget just worked out it wont work overseas for alert cards.
You should ask on whirlpool - Pafc66
I reside in hong kong and the widget app seems to be working fine on most part. I say this because when its raining in HK, the phone says "Rain/Snow" and the animation shows a bunch of snow falling. This is kinda funny cuz its currently 30 degrees c and the phone is not smart enough to determine that it can't snow under such weather condition.

Hey there, i really want to help you with this but didn't you sell your phone on Gumtree? Surely you wouldn't need to know this info if you don't currently have the phone. Confused!

The problem you have now is you are really deep with the lie that it's becoming a tad pathological.
Let me set it out for you:
1. Your username here is 'Mickhaz12'. Your whirlpool email address starts with 'Mharro88'.
2. Your posts on Whirlpool are almost identical to the posts here about a very, very specific issue.
3. You live in Melbourne here and on Whirlpool.
4. Your posts on Whirlpool mirror your first one on here stating: 'So no1 has any idea i take it...'. You said the same thing on Whirlpool.
5.. You make mention on here of 'Whirlpool' knowing clearly what it is.
You really have two options:
a. Salvage some credibility and say: 'yeah fair enough - i went too far yesterday. Was just mucking around and it got out of hand'.
b. Continue the lie ...
I'd choose option a but i reckon you might go option b.
Lol. Wrong
Way too much time on your hands.
You must be one really sad loser or ugly fat woman considering your passion for technology and with all this time.
