Android Market Give Away??

I was just wondering if Google or anyone else had noticed this loophole?? Download a paid App, back it up to your SD card, get a refund for the paid App and then reinstall using the backed up App.
It isn't something I have done or will do but was wondering if this does actually affect things or the App??

That is interesting but I don't think so.

Doing that would be the same as downloading warez...not welcome on XDA

You won't have access to future updates, also, doing this regularly makes you a douchebag.

Like I say, it isn't something I do and I support the Android community. Was just thinking that it seemed such an easy way to exploit the Market and maybe Google should do something about it.

Not being an actual developer I may have some details off, but...
I think Google implemented an app authentication API that checks with the mothership when you run a program to see if your Google account is authorized to run the app.
I ran into an issue with this (I really should let the developer know, don't know if it was an issue of the API, or their implementation) with Locus Pro. I had been using the free app for a while and decided that I liked the app enough to throw some dough towards the developer. So, I purchased and downloaded the Pro version and immediately threw it on the SD card (Moto Droid1, <256M for apps... need every Meg I can get...). First time I tried to run the program it started up and then popped up a notification stating that I wasn't authorized to use the app. I moved it back onto the phone and ran it again. This time it worked. Then I moved it back to the SD card and haven't had an issue since. I'm hoping that the app doesn't decide to check with the mothership next month (when I'll be heavily using it) while I'm in Sweden w/o a data connection.

What about all of those tablets that don't have the Market installed? Surely these Apps can be sideloaded and there would be no way to check the validity of these Apps.

As stated above, weather it works or not, it would be considered warez and everyone knows our stance on it.

[Q] Tether connecting but does not work?

Hello guys, I'm new to the site and I just have 1 question (that I have googled for about 3 hours without success).
I just got my G2X and rooted it via superoneclick as soon as I got it. I am having problems with the wifi tethering and have read that tmobile has filtered tethering on plans without the plan but I refuse to believe that they would be able to filter 3rd party tethering apps. I have tried about 4 different third party apps and the stock program. They always send out a signal but cannot connect to anything (tried on 2 different laptops). Can someone shed some light on what's going on? any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed to get the built in tether program working for my netbook I had to do an "ipconfig /release" then an "ipconfig /renew" from the command line after wifi had connected.
The wifi tethering program from the google code site worked out of the box but protection wouldn't work, and I had no desire to share my phone to the whole hotel

What do you mean protection doesn't work? Thr set password works fine for me

I'm getting crazy with the wifi thetering.
yesterday everything was working fine, including protection.
Today is not working. I made 2 reset. I have always error in portable wifi hotspot

Now I'm able to connect the notebook to the wifi tetheting, I'm using Open Garden Wifi Tether.
I'm still not able to connect the blackberry

It would show two networks, one protected, one not, the protected one didn't work and anyone could connect to the unprotected one

I pay for tethering on one of my phones (mine) and am trying it now for the 1st time....very fast. Wouldn't connect at first then I let windows do a troubleshoot and it corrected the issue. Seems to work well. I've been having a lot of power failures this year so want to ensure my wife can have internet for her work.
But I think I've read that the providers can't prevent tethering apps from working. Haven't I heard they are preventing the tethering apps from being seen through their Market apps?
They may detect the extra usage though.

WIFI Browser Issue with Danalo's AIO Odin?

I flashed Danalo's All In One Odin full bloat. The browser doesn't work on wifi. All other net connections work but not the browser !! It works on 3g/4g but not on my home wifi network. The network is good, the wife's moto droid works fine on it.
I would prefer the debloated/deodexed but the messaging keyboard hasn't got the microphone for voice texting.
Same with Imnuts' Infinity ROM. I REALLY like that ROM but need the voice texting as I am a truck driver and it is handy as hell going down the road !!
Is there a way to activate that feature? Or to fix the browser on the other ROM?

Is wifi setup with everything? Do you see the ssid, enter the password,manage networks and in advanced it has stuff about ip address etc. If so it could be searching for your network and seeing it but not staying connected. So if Im wrong about all that you wifi is connected ,you see it and stays connected but doesnt work? Sorry out of ideas.

The wifi IS connected. It works for other appz such as synching accounts, twitter, facebook etc. All of those things have net access through the wifi connection. I verified this by shutting off the data (3g) connection to ensure these other appz weren't accessing the net via data connection running in the background.
Opening the browser and all you get is page not found error. Turn on data connection (3g) and it works fine.
Not meaning to be wordy but ....
Oddly enough, the browser works fine in his debloated/deodexed version. It is only in the full version all in one I encounter this. It has happened with multiple flashes as well to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.

Under the advanced setting in wifi is there anything in the proxy setting? If so there should not be just blank it out. This has been the problem in the past.

When i tether on wifi hot spot or usb tether to my laptop (my friends connect their iPods and phones to them all the time and i never get compaints) it redirects what ever page i want to go on to a T-Mobile page trying to get me to pay for tethering. I can easily get around it with a proxy but sometimes i can't use it. Is there anyway around this?

I wonder if this means T-mobile is finally controlling tethering by packet filtering along with IMEI tracking?

Change user agent string in your browser to android. Both firefox and chrome have extensions for that.

They shut me down last week as well, and I was tethering using CM7's built-in hotspot feature. Using a VPN or changing your browser ID will get around it.

I don't get it.. I was able to tether even before I rooted. Not long ago my wife and I went on a vacation, and the rooms didn't have Wi-Fi like we thought. Tethering to my phone really saved us. Did they block it or something?? I haven't tried it since then.

Yes, they seem to have started enforcing their requirement to have a tethering plan sometime in the last week or two.

I have noticed since posting that it is intermittently working....sometimes I can tether and other times I cannot but I never get the t mobile tether screen on my computer I just get an error message on the phone so Idk if I have been caught or not lol

Agreed but do you mean that data won't sleep after this?

I understand the instructions: effectively you use the suggested app to access the apn settings of your phone. it shows that there is two different apn settings, and by setting them both to default will fix the data connection problems.
I tried this, however it has had no effect on my phone. tested extensively as I am in hospital just now and haven't been off my phone.
Vodafone UK, HTC one S S4, rooted with stock 4.0.4 android.
Easiest/quickest fix I've found is to change connection type to GSM only, then back to CDMA once the phone signal resets. bloody annoying though, surprised that there isn't a fix for this yet.
