[APP] Spotify USA NEED INVITE or UK Member to sign me up!

Hi I currently reside in the USA and spotify (because of the darned record companies) has not made its way over here yet. I heard that if someone invites your or someone based in the UK or other countries where its supported signs you up you can use the service. So being that the community here on XDA is full of surprisingly generous people I thought I would give it a whack and ask to see if anyone could help me I am willing to donate via paypal if someone truly can help! THANK YOU FOR ALL REPLIES
I tried all sorts of proxy methods already and it seems as though they blocked this method....

well thats fine I would like to get a free trial though to start then go from there

I'm on it I'll just fill out some random name and stuff. You can change it yourself later.

Btw, i need your email. PM it to me

I am sorry, but it won't work. Maybe it'll work at first, but the free account only allows you to listen outside the allowed countries within 14 days, after that you won't be able to listen any more. And to pay for the service you need to be in an allowed country, otherwise you won't be able to pay

Yeah, you'll just have two weeks, but that's two weeks of sweet listening

Pay with phone bill

Hai..
I have a GS2, which is my first android device. Now I'm woundering, is it possible to purchase apps and pay with the phone bill?
Since I dont have a credit card

The last time I checked it is entirely possible. Just buy the app in the pc version of the app market and when you click purchase, I think it gives you options. At least it worked once for me, not sure if it still does.
[EDIT]
It might only be for app's specified by your carrier though, not quite sure.

Hmm.. When I sign in on my account, and tries to purchase the game, clicks Continue and then nothing happens!

In the US ( I noticed your not from the US, but I can only base my answer on the US, since I live here/there) T-Mobile US will only allow you to purchase apps that are in US currency. If an app is paid for in another currency the Carrier option won't work. Check that the app you want to purchase is in your currency and/or call your carrier to ask their policy. (FYI just because an app displays the price in your currency doesn't mean it isn't processed in a different one. Use Titanium Backup as an example, it says in the app description that it uses Swiss Francs)

App buying question

I went to purchance my first app, I selected to have my phone bill charged rather than using my credit card. I received an email when I hit download, the email was basically a receipt, but right after the receipt email I received another email telling me the download was canceled and I wont b charged?? I've tried to download it a few other times and each time I hit download I get a pop up that saids "I already have a pending order for this item" what's the deal?

Why not make things a lot easier on yourself and signup for a Google Checkout account?
It's so easy to do and once you have signed up and find an app you want to buy it's approved instantly right on the spot, and the download/installation is instant too. There are many ways to setup the Google Checkout.
Here is the link: http://checkout.google.com/sell/?promo=sha2&gsessionid=Ie2PYCQ5SL0
Good luck!

Thanks for the link. Kinda funny tho, I just received a call from att (follow up call on an issue on one of my other phones) I asked her the same thing and she told me that there's a purchase blocker on my account. I don't know anything about that, she told me that she can either unblock my account for good or unlock just so I can download this app, I asked if there's a why for me to block/unblock as I see fit, she said she'll send me an email on how to monitor my account. Never had to deal with this sort of thing with my iphones, but I guess its a good thing to have.

the app store bills through the itunes account doesn't it? I guess the purchase blocking for the phone bill is to prevent freud. I've used andriod since before I knew that was an option and pay for apps with my debit card, though I may put it on my phone bill now because I hate to see my bill change and it'll keep me from making impulive buys, the few dolars seems more significant on my phone bill than out of my bank account. I have like 10 apps that are useless to me now and will never use like rom manager and set cpu.

[Q] What happend to Sacred Odyssey!?

It has been a long time since I had looked at the Gameloft wapshop and so I went to reownload some of my games that I had purchased before. I had at one time bought Sacred Odyssey but now its missing from my downloads and no longer showing up in the store. I sent an email requesting they send me the apk for it. Anyone know why that GL game is no longer showing up? I bought it but never played it, hence why I was wanting to start playing it.

The purchase history system of the wapshop just sucks... it often purges things from the list after a month of purchase. It's still in their records, and likely in yours too depending on what method of payment you used, but they're largely relying on you to keep your APK backed up. Sacred Odyssey's still in your purchase history, you just can't see it from that page.
If they're gonna be so resistant to move ALL their games to the official Android market, they need to at least make an Amazon Appstore style app that you can log in to, purchase games, view trophies, read/reply to messages/friend requests and view complete purchase history.

I got my Sacred Odyssey apk in an email, and all it does it force close. I can download the files, but then everytime I attempt to load the game it force closes, even wiping the games cache and trying again, same results. Any ides?

That game's known for having spotty reliability.
Sometimes, it'll FC too much to even get through one dungeon... then there's other times when I can play it for a couple hours without any problems.

Not sure if I can asl this, but does anyone hapen to have the sd card files of this game? I have been stuck at 1mb forever and all it does is say "A problem occurred and the download could not be started... blah blah blah.

It worked fine for me. It's even on the wapshop.

I am on Verizon, 2.3.3 Apparently 2.3.3 it does not work, but 2.3.2 or 2.3.4 and above it does work. I see it in my gameloft wapshop but after downloading it and trying to install the sd card files are stuck at 1mb remaining and wil not download anymore. Even then my friend has rhe same phone on 2.3.3 Verizon and it wont even load up the game. I borrowed his files and same with mine, it force closes every time. I think it was TL Thery said its an issue that GL has yet to fix. So I paid $5 for a game that is useless to me.

Have you tried contacting gameloft? I find them to be quite useful thus far

Yes, I have. 3 times, and 2 thread posts on their forums. No response. I once had a reply to an email 5 months after I sent it and by that time I already had a new phone and was told I would need to re-buy all my games. That is ridiculous
Money grabbers, I just wish to God they would support the android market completely and stop this crap.

Strange as I pretty much always get a response the next day. Didn't it say (when purchasing the game) that if you have any problems then contact (game loft email address)? It did for me on the games I bought and then I could access the page through my browser history save click on the email.

that does suck this game doesn't work, if I had bought it I would try it on multiple devices to see if it works the same. but after reading your experience on here, that tells me not to buy anything from gameloft at all, they shall not get any of my moneys.

Are you sure that their replies aren't in your junk folder or something? The email address I gave reply very quickly.

I appreciate you asking for me, I absolutely have no idea why about 98% of my emails go unanswered, I mean beyond the "we have recieved your email and you will be contacted shortly" thing. I made a big post over on the GL forums venting my frustrations and was told if I didnt modify my posting I would be banned, so I modified completely stating I had edited it do to pressure of being banned, and then posted that I have no other way of getting through to somone about the issues, then I finally got a reply to the thread saying it was going to investigated, but have yet to actually get any contact back from them, I'll give it a week, hopefully it wont be that long but I will be shocked if they contact me back about it.

Which packages to remove on Oreo?

Hi everybody!
I'm having issues with battery life, I noticed that much of the battery is consumed by the android system process, and therefore of all the many samsung packages.
I would like to know if anyone has a list of packages that can be safely removed from oreo, after I will remove them with adb commands. I would like to use an app as a package disabler, but now these apps appear and disappear too often from the store and the feedback leave me a little confused.
Can anyone help me?

All the info is already on the forums (read a few threads )

Thanks bro! The only bad thing is that I had already bought the app some time ago, I dont know if it was from this developer or a similar one from another developer, unfortunately I only remember that I used it together with an additional plugin... now I dont find it in my shopping list...

If it has a price over the install button saying Buy, you did not buy it with this Google account, either find the account you purchased it through and log into Google Play with that, or buy it again

I believe you didnt understand mate...
I bought these apps twice, with the same account, my only one. And both apps I bought have disappeared from the store, like their developers. In my Gmail I still have the purchase invoices, opening the links of the developers dont appear to me anything, they disappeared and, probably, reappear with other names.
Reading on the forum it seems I'm not the only one to have noticed that these developers appear and reappear, so users have to repurchase the app every time

Well yea, if the original app is removed, then a new one appears in it's place, then it is a different app, even if it does the same thing / seems identical, maybe the dev sold it to someone else who has re-upped it under a different name, either way you'd need to buy it again

I don't think so... In the mail invoice that google send when you make a purchase there is always a contact email from the developer near his name.
The contact email that I see in my old invoice is identical to the contact email that is here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium
So I would say that the developer is always the same, He simply likes to reappear always with different names so as to take more money from those who are forced to buy back the app every time, it's simply a dishonest trick

I guess if you want to disable packages, it's gonna cost £2~ every time you reset your phone if it gets blacklisted, I've only reset my phone once in 12 months, £2 odd every 12 months is fine
At least there is a non root option

In the end, after 2 days, the developer replied giving me a code to redeem the app for free from the store.
Now with Package disabler pro (with that xml list) and Greenify, the battery life goes a bit better. I do about 4h of screen on (compared to before I was about 2h30m).

you've told that you having issue with app disabler? just do the adb trick to disable every app that you want
