I mean like getting access to something to test and delete or pay for if its good, as I dont want lots of debits and credits trying and refunding on my bank account.

There is a way to test out some of the paid apps. It's called "downloading the demo versions."

Once you buy an app you can try it and if you wish to, return it for a full refund within 24 hours. So that is exactly what you need.

Good apps are worth paying for.

Why is everyone so concerned about "obtaining" applications anyway? Everyone is happy enough to steal windows mobile and android OS's

Difficult to steal android as it's opensource...
And I wouldn't take Windows Mobile if it was free.
If someone is charging $.99 for an app they're not exactly going to be rolling in cash from it in the first place - if you start stealing the apps then they may just give up and not bother. Anyone can afford to take the risk of a couple of crap apps at those prices.. and if you really daren't risk a dollar then there are always reviews.

Because we don't like to be associated with thieves, maybe? It may be that bad, that there are be people reading this who has actually written those applications you are trying to "obtain".

Asking for Paid Apps For Free is confusing, especially when we have a strict no Warez Policy.
I know this is not about Warez but it could become about warez very quickly and some sharp users have pinted this out by reporting this thread.
It is therefore closed.

[REQUEST] Widgets LIKE beautiful widgets, just free.

Do any exist?
And I'm NOT gonna pirate them. But I have no money to buy apps with.
Any ideas?

Fancy Widget is like the big Sense-style clock called 'Beautiful Home'

Fancy Widgets. I have the version before they got the C&D from HTC.
PS: you don't have $.99? LOL Most apps are so cheap. Look for spare change, load it on a pre-paid Visa. You're good to go.

this. dude come on, or when you buy stuff, keep whatever change you get and keep it in an envelope titled "For Apps", borrow a friends visa, and pay them back for it.

Question.
You are paying for a smart phone correct?
Nuff said. You pay because nothing is really free, and
it supports the devs. I have no money (but) I donate if the app
is provided free and I use it and if you don't have money for apps
that's fine. Quality work should be paid for plain and simple
and you should learn to budget accordingly.

The market is not available in every country you know..
I have no problem paying for apps, most of them are cheap, but the market does not offer paid apps to my country..

You guys need to realise that not everyone lives in your country, and even those who live in a country where paid apps are available (like me) don't always have a credit card which works with Google Checkout.
So untill you can buy apps on the market with paypal or directly on your phone bill, many people are just unable to use any paid apps, no matter how cheap they are.

Hi from Germany,
this is the same problem that Sony had with their PSN before they inroduced the PSN card (prepaid card like Itunes). In Germany only 27% have a credit card and I would not get a credit card to buy an app for .99€.
My favourite pay methode is prepaid so I cannot spend hundred of euros in apps/music ^^

My free suggestion that is currently avalible in the market place is Weather Forecast&Clock Widget

Instead of telling the guy that .99 cents isnt too much, why dont you help him.
JimJam, I use fancy widgets and it works perfectly.
EDIT: Removed .apk, Wasn't aware it was banned here.

Not This.
If an app you are looking for isn't available via the market, but is *free*
the app (more than likely) is available via their website, or some other medium.
You can still donate almost anywhere in the world.
The way the market works is just like in real life.
if you don't like, want or use the app you paid for you get a refund plain and simple. -Just like a free app that asks politely for a donation if you enjoy the work (if the developers asks for it) I don't donate if the free app isn't going to be used/kept.
The OP was looking for an app that was told to C&D.
Not the *norm* I'd think.

How do you come to that conclusion form what the OP actually posted? They just asked for free widgets like Beautiful Widgets, not for any specific widget.
I thought this might be an interesting thread since it's quite a long hard slog through the market looking for widgets, even if you use a site like Androlib to make it easier.

[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....

You need to have a Premium account to be able to stream to your phone, that costs £10 a month.

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

If your carrier supports carrier-billing, you can do that. You can also get an American Express of Visa gift card or prepaid card. Also if you use Google Wallet you can fill your virtual Google card with funds from an actual card.

Thanks, may close the thread.

You can ask the person who has the opportunity to buy and then just send him the money

Only way to sell apps ?

It's possible (allowed) sell apps outside of Google Play? (I think it is ...) If yes, is still necessary to pass the profits to Google?
One more thing, they take 20% or 30% of the profits? (i known this question is easy to solve on google.com )
Thanks

Why you say damn?
Not illegal means yes it is perfectly legal for you to sell your own app on your own website.
