Hi,
I must have asked this question in about 5 different places yet and have got no answers..
if you were to download a cracked .apk for a Samsung galaxy s II and install the app and then the extra sd data through the gameloft server,
then use a gameloft account to play these games online (i.e. nova online multiplayer) would gameloft know you used a cracked app? is there any way this could come back to bite me in the ass?
I dont want to get sued or somthing by gameloft or my network provider (o2) :/
Thank you
This thread is probably going to get locked.
But the answer is no.

No its not safe?
I played Modern Combat 2 Online every math class for most of the semester, and it worked fine and everything, so I guess its safe?

It has been a long time since I had looked at the Gameloft wapshop and so I went to reownload some of my games that I had purchased before. I had at one time bought Sacred Odyssey but now its missing from my downloads and no longer showing up in the store. I sent an email requesting they send me the apk for it. Anyone know why that GL game is no longer showing up? I bought it but never played it, hence why I was wanting to start playing it.
The purchase history system of the wapshop just sucks... it often purges things from the list after a month of purchase. It's still in their records, and likely in yours too depending on what method of payment you used, but they're largely relying on you to keep your APK backed up. Sacred Odyssey's still in your purchase history, you just can't see it from that page.
If they're gonna be so resistant to move ALL their games to the official Android market, they need to at least make an Amazon Appstore style app that you can log in to, purchase games, view trophies, read/reply to messages/friend requests and view complete purchase history.

I got my Sacred Odyssey apk in an email, and all it does it force close. I can download the files, but then everytime I attempt to load the game it force closes, even wiping the games cache and trying again, same results. Any ides?
That game's known for having spotty reliability.
Sometimes, it'll FC too much to even get through one dungeon... then there's other times when I can play it for a couple hours without any problems.

Is there any kind of a work around?
Not sure if I can asl this, but does anyone hapen to have the sd card files of this game? I have been stuck at 1mb forever and all it does is say "A problem occurred and the download could not be started... blah blah blah.
It worked fine for me. It's even on the wapshop.

I am on Verizon, 2.3.3 Apparently 2.3.3 it does not work, but 2.3.2 or 2.3.4 and above it does work. I see it in my gameloft wapshop but after downloading it and trying to install the sd card files are stuck at 1mb remaining and wil not download anymore. Even then my friend has rhe same phone on 2.3.3 Verizon and it wont even load up the game. I borrowed his files and same with mine, it force closes every time. I think it was TL Thery said its an issue that GL has yet to fix. So I paid $5 for a game that is useless to me.
Have you tried contacting gameloft? I find them to be quite useful thus far

Yes, I have. 3 times, and 2 thread posts on their forums. No response. I once had a reply to an email 5 months after I sent it and by that time I already had a new phone and was told I would need to re-buy all my games. That is ridiculous
Money grabbers, I just wish to God they would support the android market completely and stop this crap.
Strange as I pretty much always get a response the next day. Didn't it say (when purchasing the game) that if you have any problems then contact (game loft email address)? It did for me on the games I bought and then I could access the page through my browser history save click on the email.

that does suck this game doesn't work, if I had bought it I would try it on multiple devices to see if it works the same. but after reading your experience on here, that tells me not to buy anything from gameloft at all, they shall not get any of my moneys.
Are you sure that their replies aren't in your junk folder or something? The email address I gave reply very quickly.

I appreciate you asking for me, I absolutely have no idea why about 98% of my emails go unanswered, I mean beyond the "we have recieved your email and you will be contacted shortly" thing. I made a big post over on the GL forums venting my frustrations and was told if I didnt modify my posting I would be banned, so I modified completely stating I had edited it do to pressure of being banned, and then posted that I have no other way of getting through to somone about the issues, then I finally got a reply to the thread saying it was going to investigated, but have yet to actually get any contact back from them, I'll give it a week, hopefully it wont be that long but I will be shocked if they contact me back about it.
I had an old android device which I passed on from a distant relative and for some reason the play store just still be linked to my credit card as I've been billed for a game or two. Is there any way to prevent purchases from the device? As I really don't want to set up a new bank account for such a mishap.
I know I should've fully wiped it , but they were new to android and I installed a load of apps for them. So constructive criticism please , not to sound harsh
If anyone gets an idea , feel free to post here cheers

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

Hey guys,
I'm looking forward to buying the 6X. The Chinese version (BLN-AL10) is the only one I can get but I don't live in China. I saw on the online mall I would like to get the phone from that I would need to install the Play Store and generally Google apps and services manually. Is this true for the Chinese version? And is there anything else I need to know about the said version before I commit to getting the phone? And will it get Nougat? Thanks in advance for any relevant help.
Where do you live? If you live outside China, I highly suggest you to get a US or European version... Because for China models, there are quite a few bloatwares from HUAWEI pre-installed...
And for Google services, yes, you need to install yourself. You can refer to my post below, make sure you read it through the last post:

I'm Kenyan and the device hasn't been officially launched yet and the only version I can get is the Chinese. ? Can't the bloat be uninstalled? Thanks for your link, it is helpful.
And is this version in the Android 7/ EMUI 5 beta testing or will it at least get them in the end?

Most third party and HUAWEI bloatware can be uninstalled. Just 4 or 5 from HUAWEI cannot be uninstalled, but you can disable them.
Beta testing is only for selected users and general public will get it in Q1 2017.
Just a kind reminder: if you cherish your privacy, stay with Google Play and don't play too much of HUAWEI or 3rd party bloatwares...

Go for EU version as it has both gyro amd nfc and no issues with play store as well. In China variant you may need to do lot of work to get google framework working.
Also, evwm of you change all the language and settimgs, you camt get rid of Chinese characters in few apps. Not against it but if you stay in Kenya then definitely you should not go for China Variant.

How safe it is to install banking apps and use them on China variant in other countries?
I thought of it but due to privacy and security purposes haven't installed any bankimg apps on AL10 model.

Thanks man, but unfortunately the Chinese variant is the only one I can get, trust me I checked for all other variants but to no avail. May be I should check the Nova Plus as it's locally available, then again it's more expensive. But again, thanks. And a concern I've picked up from your post- are there really privacy issues on the Chinese version? I too use a banking app and don't think I'd risk it if that's the case.

As in your phone info like IMEI, Geo Location, installed app list, if you check any software from BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), 3 major app developers in China, you can easily find that they request almost every single permission your phone can provide, I mean how the heck a music app wants to know what other apps I installed???
Generally, it would be OK for you to use your banking apps in your own country, but just be aware and don't grant too many permissions to any app developed by Chinese company...
