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.

Is there any kind of a work around?
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.

Maybe a mod can join these two.

You can get the apk from their site I think. I got it a while ago before knowing it was for international users only. Let me see is I still have it, but it may be a tad outdated.
Link worked, but I'm unable to pay for premium service because it somehow recognizes that paypal is a US account. I'm going to have to try proxy or some other method. I'll keep you posted if I succeed.
EDIT: Tried paying through paypal with proxy and still the same problem. Tried a regular master card and it says denied right away. I think I might be stuck and SOL.
good try Supa!
i too have the apk, but didn't read my email soon enough to get it to ya. thanks Red.
Is it a one time fee or a monthly charge? Perhaps some sort of travelers check type payment.
Here's the latest apk: http://www.spotify.com/wp-content/uploads/android/0.4.04/SpotifyAndroid.apk
It's a monthly charge, but I already like it because there are albums that you have to buy on rhapsody or napster but you don't on spotify. I guess I'll just continue using it as a desktop app for now until I can figure out how to pay their monthly fees.

Don't think so.. i want swiftkey x for free though.. damn US -.-
Hope that it'll come to Germany soon aswell... Anyway it's not that costumer friendly policy Amazon should go towards...
I think it's similar to the AmAzon mp3 service, they allow free storage of music on the cloud over there, but here in the uk, you don't get that priillage and although you may be able to manually install the amazon app store, it's impossible to install apps due to the country limitations coming from your amazon account believe, as I have tried myself and it won't work, maybe searching google for the app's .apk file name may get what you want by other means.
For now the store is only open in US..
As far as I understand they have plans to open the store in other countries too..
We just have to wait
I believe there is a workaround for this, unfortunately the forum where I read about it is currently down. I'll look into it.
I remember trying to get Angry Birds Rio when the appstore had judt opened. I was so sad when I realised it was US only. It then came out on Android marketplace and then I was filled with joy!
I had an old android device which I passed on from a distant relative and for some reason the play store just still be linked to my credit card as I've been billed for a game or two. Is there any way to prevent purchases from the device? As I really don't want to set up a new bank account for such a mishap.
I know I should've fully wiped it , but they were new to android and I installed a load of apps for them. So constructive criticism please , not to sound harsh
If anyone gets an idea , feel free to post here cheers

Google is starting to p*** me off more and more lately.
I use or should I say used to use an app called #Picasafolio to manage my #Picasa photos. It's a paid app but the best at what it does and is reasonably priced.
The dev has always been really responsive and usually has a resolution to any issues the same day. I was having some problems relating to the 4.4 update and downloading folders. Emailed the dev who chased down the issue and pushed an update to the play store. Updated last night but didn't try it till this morning. Had an issue where I couldn't login so contacted the dev who responded promptly with the following email:
'This is because Google has terminated the app for apparent violations of copyright. I've appealed but this looks like the end of my business.
Thanks,
Brian'
Checked the play store and sure enough a search reveals nothing. No explanation as to why the app is no longer there, nothing.
I feel angry on behalf of Brian who is a dedicated developer for the android market, no notice, no attempt to resolve the situation, just the app removed from the play store and an email.
I'm one of the lucky ones who are aware of what's happened but what about everyone else who purchased the app? This app has been in the store for a long time so the decision to pull it now seems ridiculous.
Surely as Google Play being a middleman then they have some responsibility to the buyer. After all if I purchased something on Amazon which later didn't work etc I could contact Amazon for a resolution.
There are still plenty of apps on the Play Store which perform similar functions so why remove this one.
I've purchased plenty of apps via the playstore but from now on unless I can get them through Amazon I will have to look for alternatives. I'm not spending money on something just for Google to decide they no longer like it or it no longer fits in the terms and conditions.
Still bloody annoyed with Goggle!!!!!

Yep. I have multiple devices with PIC backup so having something like this is essential to manage the auto backup folder. Since Google has blocked the OAuth the app is now useless.
Well suck me sideways..
This explains why I can't find it in Play store from my tablet..

Anybody know how to raise a complaint with Google about this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Some good news! ?
I have republished the app on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapwood.pfolio, addressing the most likely reason for the ban (app name). I have no assurance that Google won't ban this app as well, but as the rest of the app had been stable for at least a year, the app name was the likely reason.
I was able update the app on Amazon, so users there will be receiving an app update to fix the login issue once Amazon approves it.
For Google Play users that want to continue to receive updates or want to avoid the login workaround, please purchase the new app and send me the email address used to purchase the original app. I'll refund that prior order so everything comes out even in the end. I apologize for this mess.
Thanks,
Brian

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 )

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).
