Swype that comes with the phone vs playstore swype - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi. Just wondering if there are a lot of differences between the swype on my phone and swype in the playstore. I notice that the version seems a bit behind. Would I get anything useful by buying it? Also, would I have to uninstall the one that came with my phone?

The preinstalled Swype doesn't get updated unless you receive an OTA so it'll always be outdated. That alone is reason enough, for me, to use the Play Store version. I took the OTA and used it for a few hours and I installed the Play Store version of Swype no problem. I didn't have any issues however I dislike seeing Swype listed twice when I change keyboards so it's up to you to uninstall it or not. I think its in System/App? You can have both installed just fine and stick to using the Play Store version since it receives updates. Oh, and I suggest buying it to support the devs too!

Billing is not supported on this version of android market

anyone else getting this little popup: "Billing is not supported on this version of android market"
this mostly came up while using the EA scrabble app (laced with ads), but then it came up again while on Firefox.
it's not causing any problems for my phone, just hoping that it is not app trying to send out info to a third party.

I have been getting this message for the last couple weeks. Coincidentally, over the last two weeks my phone battery has been miserable. I just came on here to see whether there has possibly been a connection between any apps, this message, and poor battery performance.
Have you noticed a reduction in battery life in your phone as well? Or perhaps could the two issues I'm seeing be unrelated?

not sure, but I would not be surprised. I'm speculating that it has to do with whatever version of android market we are running and what is setup in the build.prop.... but just speculations....
Are you guys on Tweaked or something? It works fine for me on stock.

Huh - sort of at a loss for what would cause this then. Perhaps its confined to certain apps/sites?

I dunna know.... so far, no popup yet on the released version of tweaked...
Ok...I just got this same popup on my Rezound on CM9 when I was just sitting at my home screen. Whatever it is, it isn't specific to a particular phone or app. I wonder if there's some kind of a glitch on the latest Play Store causing it.
I had it happen te me today as well..
While I was playing a game..
Weird ....
I think your right ..

I had these toast messages pop up very frequently after installing this game. It would pop up regardless if the game was running or not, so it must be a service that is running in the background.
After I uninstalled the game I see no more of these annoying messages.

Yeah it has to do with in game purchases, some the app wasn't signed with the right keys.

So I'm actually using the VZW Galaxy Nexus but I thought I would mention that I'm seeing the same thing. It tends to happen when I'm using the stock Browser... but not Chrome. I'm using CM10, and did not see this with stock or with Ascent. I was thinking it had to do with forcing Wallet onto my "unsupported device", which I didn't do until after my CM10 install. Hopefully that info helps in some way.
So, I just noticed this today on my EVO LTE. But after a recent wipe, I only have two paid apps on it: EA's Monopoly Millionaire and Zynga's Drop 7. And I've made absolutely ZERO in app payments.
I looked in aLogcat and it says "com.android.vending / com.google.finsky.billing.iab.MarketBillingService" keep crashing and restarting.
I'm on an HTC EVO LTE running Viper4G ROM 2.0.2 with Android Market / Google Play Store version 3.10.9

It has nothing to do with the user end, it's the developers end. When they packaged their app and signed it, they forgot to sign it in release mode.
I have the same problem with My Country Online. It appears so often like every five seconds or so. The only way is to stop the app via app manager. Any ideas for a permanent fix?

Play store

I have installed a newer play store, 3.10.9. I don't get notifications about updates, so I want to get to the stock version. I tryed uninstalling updates but after reboot I get 3.10.9 again. What do I have to do ?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk 2
update of store is manage by Google and this is the reason why you have newest version again. I think you can't change it anymore.
I have new on mobile already, but old one on tablet still
What version is normally on stock ics ? I'll try to download the correct version but I don't know which one to search.

it's not aout version of Android, but about version released by Google, I have X version for last few months as eveybody. You can found it just by checking of version usually.
I was asking about the app, not about the android version. The version of playstore app on the note 10.1 might be different that the one on nexus 10 for example, or the one on older phones that still run android 2.3. I need to know the version of the app, is visible in playsore/settings at the bottom. Should look like 3.9.15 or something.

I have almost the same problem. 6 days ago PS updated, I recieve notifies but when trying to update, the window shows downloading (forever).
I have this issue with my G TAB2 7.0 and my SGS3. When i connect to my friends home network it works. When i connect to my GS3 hotspot it works. Its driving me nuts.
I have made no changes to my router settings. I opened both firewalls on my router, same results. I cant see where port 5723 is being blocked on my router.
I searched XDA for answers as well as GPS and read where there are issues but i cant find or see where my settings need any changes.
If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Thanks.
Try uninstalling updates for P.S. and let it update again, maybe will fix himself. I even did a reset to factory default and still it's updating to 3.10.9... but I'm not sure yet if I'll get notified for updates because there are none at the moment.
Edit : Nope, I don't get notified about updates.

Facebook App Version??

I cant make sense to this.. me and my girlfriend both have the same device M8 - rooted & S-OFF same firmware and radios and ROM but for some reason.. her facebook app version is 8.0.0.26.24 and its from the market and mine is version 7.0.0.26.24 directly from the market...can someone explain why this is?
Some folks are getting an option to update the app directly through Facebook and not the app store. I would uninstall the 8.0 version as it is not official or known to be legit.

My Facebook keeps randomly updating even tho I have auto update turned off for all apps. But Thai one still updates. And I think that when it does update its an 8.0 version. Whatever version it is the whole ui changes and I hate it. How can I make the version I like stick? Think every time I reboot it updates, and don't think it's they the play store either that it's getting the update? I don't get any notification of it when it does, it's just there when I open Facebook again.
You sure one of you didn't join the beta program?
Also, this should go in Q and A

I've been on beta for about a year now, still notified of updates when they are ready. This gives me no notification of update, just updates on it's own even tho it's not enabled. Frustrating.

What's more strange is that my version stays the same after updating, Even tho it looks totally different 8.0.0.3.24
I never use my FB, only rarely to check a photo or 2 that gets put up of me. Popped on sometime last week to notice an entirely new app layout. No update from Play, no update notification from FB app. Girlfriend, same phone, users FB all day still has old one. Kinda pissed, because the few times i did look at my feed, i wanted it sorted by time, not this 'most popular' BS, and can't find an option in the new app for it.

Beta or not, shouldn't update if auto update isn't selected. This is the only time it's done it. It's extremely annoying cause I HATE the new ui but can't make an older version stick no matter what I do. And just discovered it updates regardless of reboot or not.

Well look at it this way, you will eventually be forced to use it, so just get used to it and they will change it again in 3 months anyways :/
One of you either signed up for the Alpha or Beta version at some point. It will carry from device to device.

I'm on beta, my daughter isn't but hers also keeps updating on her kindle.
8.0.0.3.24 this is the latest version.
I'm not on the beta. Mine auto updated when I got home not realizing my WiFi was on. Deleted and restored the old version with titanium backup. The new app is horrible. I don't care what people posted 2 weeks ago....

Downloading multi apps on play store?

Hi all, just wondering if there is a method to downloading multiple apps from the play store under the apps that I have either installed before or purchased? I have a ton of apps I've installed or purchased from all the previous android phones I've owned but its a pain in the ass to keep having to install one by one and it always brings me back to the top of the list of my apps. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be much appreciated, thank you -Cory

I haven't tried this but I think if you sync your phone settings to your google account, it'll automatically download all the apps when you do a restore to a new phone?! or does it only work on iOS only? I had to download the apps from Google Store myself but I don't have that many so I don't mind really. That's all I can say so far, mate.
Figured it out last night. Just hold on one of the apps in my apps/all and it allows to multi select

Amazon Not Available for our device?

It says Its not compatible. Anyone else getting this error? And I'm talking about the regular amazon app not the appstore version. Wtf lol
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
Yeah, some apps won't show up because of the dpi of the device. I am rooted, and I am using the "Play Store Fixes" module in Xposed, and now all apps are showing up. You might want to look into this as well if you are rooted, or plan to root.

Go through Amazon's own Appstore
I had noticed the same issue as well. I end up using some apps I got for free on Amazon Appstore, so after I got those apps, I just thought of trying for Amazon app. Turns out, it works just fine.
Here's the Amazon Appstore download instruction, and once you have that, you can either search from the appstore or get it through app download site.
I just installed it aswell. maybe they updated it.

At the rate Google and all the other apps update the TBO guys do a hell of a job!
I use a ton of their apps and if there is a new feature one of those version updates brings they're pretty quick to theme it.
A great deal of the app updates are just minor silly things and when they open up the apks to theme they'll even say in their thread how that version update was nothing major at all!
TBO all the way!
