no offer for me, USA

I was able to redeem it on my Chromecast, but not for the Nexus Player. So only $6. I also only had the Chromecast connected when I redeemed it. I assumed it would show back up for a new device.

That explains why only chromecast. If nexus wasn't showing as cast device.

Thank you. No wonder why I could not redeem any credits for the two Chromecasts. I wish these stupid tech bloggers would have said that.

Once activated they are burnt up. Its a 50 dollar gift card, only can use in a certain section and they are rentals only. The files store in a pvy format and I cant find a converter >:-( . Anyways if you need a code, email [email protected] . Give them your phone number, name, and request. They will respond and you will know whether or not you canhave a code. If yes, takes a couple days (they say 5-7 but I got mine in two) to receive your code. This is legit, I work for sprint

Their opening one at Lakeside as well? Theyre not really in the hardware business yet but i think the acquisition of Motorola will spearhead this. So they'll probably end up selling the Nexus S, the Nexus prime and whatever else they decide to make in the next few years.

Picasa Folio

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

[Q] How Can I Buy A Nexus 5 If It's Not Available In My Country?

HI N5 community!
So I want to get one of these since my S4 is broken and pretty much done for. Now I just have one issue.
My dad is willing to buy the Nexus 5, but he lives in Oman and I live in Canada. So I tried sending him the link for the Nexus 5 on the Google Play Store, but it said it was not available in his country. He is just paying for it, and it will be sent to Canada which I'm sure Google has available in. Can anyone help me? He is paying by credit card if that helps and he wants to buy it but the site won't let him. Does anyone know ways to maybe trick Google into thinking he's in Canada so he can purchase it, or maybe even an alternative site to buy a 32GB Black Nexus 5? Thanks all!

Ask him to give you the credit card information then you order it - or alternatively he could try proxy browsing on a .ca proxy if he knows enough about PC's to set it up (and if Google can be fooled by this method)

Well I don't think he wants to give the information over the internet, so that is a definite no-no. Do you know any proxy's that might work? Thanks for the reply!!

N5 is available in Oman in many mobile shops (out of google play store)
@AmmVid, it might make sense for you yourself to purchase the phone in Canada either from a store or online. It is not because a phone bought in Oman won't work in Canada, but, rather, because it will be easier to obtain a warranty and, if need be, to have the device serviced or replaced. The funds easily could be sent to you by your father using PayPal.
Use hotspot shield app, it worked for me and I could access the nexus 5 page on the play store from UAE where it isn't available officially.

I saw that you sign up with your device and choose Premium for youtube, I'm guessing Spotify is similar
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
From what i have read the Spotify promo is ONLY if you have never had a spotify account, i already had one so premium for me only had the option to pay the 9.99 a month. As far as youtube I already had that through my google play music subscription so I don't know about that.

Use a new email, setup an alias email to use, etc. It will work. I'm on my 4th or 5th different alias with them.
But that would mean your downloaded history all the lists you've compiled on the old account are now useless correct?

Well, I just opened the Spotify app. Since I already have Amazon Music premium family plan, I can't see that Spotify does me any good. I thought I would get a code that I could give away. Sad I even paid the sales tax on this.

Another worthless promo for which I paid sales tax. I had a premium account before which has expired. I thought I would get 4 months free. Not so. I followed the instructions and there is no ability to get Youtube Premium for free for me. The app wants me to restart paying $12 per month. I'll know better when I get the S7+.
Here's what is says in the FAQ
Who is eligible to participate in the Samsung YouTube Trial Offer?
This offer is available to Samsung owners who haven’t previously had a YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, Google Play Music, or YouTube Red subscription (including trials and other promotions).
