if you are on ATT they will just put the charge on your phone bill, but im not sure about other carriers.

I know, don't get why google still won't let us pay with paypal for example, imagine the growth in app purchases when everyone can purchase them. Would prevent piracy too. But I've been told they give away free credit cards with everything you can buy in the USA...
Wirecard, just google it.
Registered on Monday, transferred 20 €, Thursday it was on the Wirecard account and I paid my first app with this virtual prepaid credit card.
Try an other market e.g App Center, just Google it
Ok sounds good will give app center a shot, otherwise ill make a wirecard account.
Thx a lot

i use debit card but talk with the banker to get the card with i can make electronic buys
Thx guys i think im gonna use wirecard. Alternative market apps didnt help, since most of the apps i was looking for were linket to the market.

Try freezing it with titanium backup?
/Feras - Galaxy Tab
Id have to buy it and technically its my parents bill :/ so no buying anything.

are you rooted?
"bloat freezer" does exactly what you're looking for. It's 1.50 as opposed to titanium backups 6 dollars.

Also, being on your parents bill shouldn't affect purchased apps, you can buy those with your own credit/debit card (assuming you have one). Unless you're on AT&T, there is no bill to carrier to function, so it charges a credit card.
EDIT: sorry didn't see you said no buying anything. I can't think of any way to do it then. Even rooting and getting a blurless ROM would work, but rooting costs money as you need several apps to do it successfully.
I am rooted. I have been since day one. and im 17 so no credit card. Bloat freezer does look like a great idea, i guess ill just give them the money or something. Theres no free way?

Do all the above mentioned apps drain the battery themselves ?
So I paid for the app among how many thousands of other ppl and Microsoft decides it wont allow 3rd party apps to gain access to an account that we the gamer/consumer pay for and google does nothing but pull the app or apps from the market and issues no refunds what the heck is that about ...its not about the money its about the poor business practices and the lack of protection of the consumer

Yea well deal with it. I can't understand why you need access to your gamertag on your phone if you can't play games.

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.
Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

They pulled that from the market too I was using it 2 days ago now its gone

I have paid for both apps and now I wont get updates to any of them... Nor will I get a refund for either of them. I dunno who I am displeased with more Microsoft, Google, or the app Devs
I also payed for this app... I got a bit pissed off when I noticed it wasn't available anymore

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.

I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.
Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

well if they keep screwing with the servers to make it an "even playing field" im done with them I mean its not my.problem if the next guy has a slow connection its not fair to those of us that pay top dollar for high speed internet just to be drug down to their level atleast playstation network is free

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

can u refriase that? im confused about what you just said.
I wish I could get these free apps. Why's it limited to U.S?
They are working with the devs of the apps to advertise them for a short while to increase traffic. Once that time frame is up more ppl will know about the app and can then generate more revenue for the developers.

thats what i wanted to know
From what i heard they still give the dev 20% of the cost of the app for every free app. i.e. a $.99 goes free amazon gives dev $.20ish. so the dev's still get a little bit
Are the apps they give away decent or upgradable through the market?
So far I got doodle jump free , shazan encore(4.99) free, dinner dash free , .farm frenzy for free. Not bad. They free and this are good apps .

These apps require you to keep the Amazon app store installed on your device. If you remove Amazon app store the apps you downloaded will no longer work.
I do not know about paid apps but the free ones that are showcased daily will not work if you remove the Amazon app store.
Do you have to put a credit card number to even download a app????

yea you do or u can use amazon giftcard
you must first setup an amazon account using a credit card or paypal. when you install the amazon android store app, it syncs with your amazon account, so you don't store your credit card # or paypal info on your phone
In case anyone wants to keep track...
In case anyone wants to keep track, I put a copy of all the free apps here:

What would happen to the apps if you were to wipe with a ROM change?
Use Titanium backup and restore back.

Oh snap, I did not know that. Good thing I read this before I wiped my phone without any worry of losing anything. I'll have to do a Backup now. Thanks!
your apps are updateable, for free. lol. and since your account is set up with your amazon acct you can wipe and change roms a million times, as soon as you put the app store back on your phone and sign in with your account you can redownload your apps back again, still free.
I caught nephew downloading apps from aptoide. My question is aside from the risk of malicious code and malware, what other risks are there to downloading paid apps free?
I would assume there are legal repercussions? I tried to explain that the people who write these apps deserve to be compensated for their time and efforts. I even offered to pay for them for him.
I don't want tosee the boy in trouble for it. He is only 13 and loves to play with computers, plans to go to Georgia tech for computer engineering. Would hate to see that plan crushed for download apps without paying.

If he plans to go to college for computer engineering, how would he feel if people were stealing his work and he didn't get paid for it? That's what he's doing.
I know and understand this. What are the legal ramifications?
