Google Play Credit - Nexus Player General

Hi,
As it seems that Nexus Players have started shipping, has anyone gotten their $20 Google Play Credit email yet? Although I have received the "your item has shipped email" I have yet to receive the email on the Google Play Credit.

Nothing yet and I got my players today.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Nothing here either, looking to add some games that would translate well to the player + controller setup. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys, I just received an email on how to redeem the $20. I guess everyone should start receiving their emails soon.
@smiley2billion I am really looking forward to getting a N64 emulator on this thing to play classic N64 games. It'll be fun.

Yes I got my 20 $ Gift Card
Yes I got my 20 $ gift card yesterday

Mine was delivered yesterday and the credit hit my email 4 hours later.

Can you keep the credit if you return the device?

I didn't get mine. Called them and then they sent it shortly after.

I received my code and it appears in my google wallet. I am trying to buy the gamepad but the credit is not coming up as a payment method. Can I use it towards the gamepad?

Nope. It's a Google Play Store credit, and you can't use it on devices. It's for content only.

From what I'm hearing, google is limiting what you can download to the device. Can someone confirm whether the Android Slingbox app is downloadable from the Play store for this?

You can download most apps in the real play store by going to play.Google.com on your computer and selecting your nexus player. You can also use an app like apk extractor on your phone, copy the apk to your nexus player and side load it

If Google was smart, they would let us use those credits to buy the controller. They would make more money selling us games.

I placed an order on Nov 22nd with debit and it worked fine. I placed another one on Nov 26th with creditcard and that one went through no problems as well. What issues are you facing? Have you tried calling them? I'm from London, ON in case that helps.

Sorry. What I meant is I can't use the Google wallet app to make purchases through NFC.

Oh! That's what you meant. Man, I was looking forward to trying that out when my phone got here. But I think I read somewhere on xda that it should work here for some merchants... Have you personally tried it?

I had to sideload the Wallet app as it seems like Canadian Nexus 5s do not have the Wallet app installed. I received a message once logging in saying that Google Wallet is not supported in my country.

wallet is offered on their .ca website and if you scroll down it even has the tap and pay advertised http://www.google.ca/wallet/shop-in-stores/
but the FAQ says its only available in the states at the moment... pity http://www.google.ca/wallet/faq.html#tab=faq-general
There's nothing you can do right now. Wallet actually is installed, it's just frozen (take a look at Titanium Backup). Even if you defrost it you get the error that it doesn't work in your region. I even tried revoking location permissions for Wallet. You can apparently enter a fake US address and get further and try adding cards but your payment will always be declined when you actually go pay. Just going to have to wait for Google or someone else to step up in Canada.

Flappy Bird Download for Android

In case anyone still wanted to play even though the creator, Dong Nguyen, has removed it from the Play Store. I'm uploading the .apk here for people to download. This is the original Flappy Bird game and it has not been modified in any way. Make sure Unknown Sources is checked in your device's security settings.

Yeah it works. It's the original app from the Play Store. I used titanium backup to get the .apk.
Thanks for this. I just installed this on my Samsung Note 3 without an issue. I had it on my tablet, but not my phone.
Thanks again.
Installed perfectly on N5 without any issues. Thanks !
it works on my GN2
thanks
Is this a full apk of the game as if we downloaded it from play store
Ive never heard of the game but all the hype im gonna try it hopefully
And have you seen how much people are selling phones with this game installed wow
Works fine on Galaxy S3 i9300 rooted with CyanogenMod.
:good:
Game is rubbish though.

Here are two mirrors! Just in case.

[Hello. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to report something here. I installed gta sa on my Android and wanted to know if it is possible to change the sound of the bike?? thanks "QUOTE=ottoasd;50268337]Thank you very much[/QUOTE]
People in my city are asking as much as $2000 online for there phones with this game....with are people really that crazy for this game?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
nice!
Thanks you
Yeah, it works for me. In vietnamese, the creator's name is Nguyễn Hà Đông
I hate this game
They are paying $5-7,000 for iPhone 5s/4s and iPads with the app preinstalled I heard on the radio this morning.
But why are people doing this in the first place when every app download is tied to a Google/Apple cloud account?
And of course now we have the apk here.
Maybe I should sideload this onto my $99 HP Touchpad running Jellybean that I've kept in good shape and see if someone on CL will pay $1,000 for it.
i bet on 2.000
PS : i confirm, clean APK (checked via LBE, only ad-ware)
Thanks so much

I'm a little newbie to this, I was able to install and open the flappy bird, but where does the phone store the app? It didn't put an icon anywhere that I can find so once I closed it, I have not been able to find it again to play. :crying: Thanks,Karen

How to Claim free entertainment kit

Bought two Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Samsung's own website. It says that in my purchase I have the entertainment kit but idk whether it's being shipped to me right now or I have to do something to claim it and then it'll ship. I bought both devices just in time before the deal ended. Anyone claim theirs yet?

Yes, you have to register through the Samsung Shop app. Only way to do it as far as I know.
I just got the gear 360 deal but don't see the entertainment kit offer
oh wait I see it it is called enjoy Netflix on us
See I get that No submission associated with my email thing too.
But the thing is, I've already received the free Netflix email and redeemed it.
The Samsung orders page says that the entertainment kit is "Confirmed"
and trying to register for it through the Shop app says it's already been redeemed.
But, it also says the Gear 360 one is redeemed, even though I haven't bought it.
So ya, no way for me to check on the status of the Physical items until they're shipped i guess.
don't look on your phone
I opened the email on my pc and bam there it was

Talking about checking your status for the entertainment kit?
Because i was opening the check status link on my computer
And the only emails regarding the entertainment kit i got are the marketing spam, and the one containing my Netflix promo, which i clicked on and redeemed.

Has anyone tried the Starbucks app?

I was wondering if anyone had or tried the Starbucks app for the Gear S3 in the US. A user in Korea posted a review about it and it seems pretty cool. Locate nearby Starbucks locations, pre-order and pay through the app, bring up available coupons/card info to be scanned at the store, etc.
Sadly, it looks like I'm unable to post outside links here since I'm new here. Hope we get this in the US.

I suggest you try the other Starbucks app for samsung watches, called "SB Coffee Card". You can download from the Samsung store and it works with S3/Active/Galaxy/Sport/etc....and it's a standalone app (No need for phone or internet connection) so always usable.
If you don't want to pay for the app, just take a picture of the barcode on your Starbucks card and send it to the gallery on your watch
I tried the picture of barcode approach and it was hit and miss. Just tried the SB Coffee Card and it works! (On my Galaxy) I should point out this app is not made by starbucks (the author is upfront about that) - but it's probably the app Starbucks SHOULD have built. It works standalone (no need for internet connection, or phone nearby). Realistically I am not interested in preordering or topping up from credit card using my watch. I just want to pay for my bux and get away from all the hipsters
Maybe wait for a black friday deal on the app...or coupons. Not that $3 is too much to spend on an app, I just like free stuff.
A tatoo would work too and then you wouldn't even need the watch. But that's more than $3

Question Google Pay as default

Is it possible to use Google Pay as default app?
Yes... Open Google Pay and select It as default un option
There is no option in watch app
SORRY... my fault... It is in NFC option
Is there a way to map the bottom button to launch Google pay

No. Only the HOME button... Double press
Did they get Google Pay fixed? There were saying it would freeze up when trying to open it.
Just got mine today and Google Pay works after you update it flawlessly.
Got one today - Google Pay certainly installs fine, open OK etc.. Tied to the double click on home. All seems fine. Haven't had a chance to actually pay for anything yet, but seems fine so far.
Used it last night in tesco, works great. Just wish we could Nike the Samsung pay app, and map the button, but hey
I got to make google pay appear in NFC->payment with permanent proxy but I can't make the app appear, did anyone succeed ?
to set google pay the default payment method just go to settings>connections>nfc>payment and choose google pay

i did that but there's no app where I can change the cards from the watch
Just launch the Google pay app, and the list of cards pops up?
Probably I didn't make myself clear enough
I have Google pay only as an option(and selected) in NFC->Payment
But I don't have the Google Pay app on my watch and it's not present in the watch Play store
I only have the google pay app in my phone.

is your watch from a country where google pay works?
if you search googl epay on the play store you should see if it is available on your watch too (like telegram in the picture below)
or it should mark as installed if it's already on your watch
otherwise it's not available in your country or in the country your watch belongs to...

I got Google pay working by opening the Google store on my watch, not my phone. I then searched Google pay and downloaded it on my watch.
I am using Google pay on my watch but noticed in the NFC tab that there is an option pay with open app.
Anyone know what this is for.?

i think it enables the payment only if you have googlepay on the screen of the watch
