I received an email for google stating that Tap and Pay will no longer be supported in versions of Android older than 4.4. Below is the email.
I hadn't heard anything about this, does anyone have any more information?
Do you know if I keep the same version of the app I have currently, which works, if there will be issues?
Email:
Dear _____,
We wanted to let you know about an update to Google Wallet that might change the way you use the app. Right now it looks like you’re using tap and pay with a device running an Android version older than 4.4 KitKat. On the newest version of Android, tap and pay works with different technology for an improved experience. As a result, starting on April 14, 2014, tap and pay will no longer work for devices with older Android versions.
Tap and pay will be available for most devices running Android 4.4 KitKat. If you are able to upgrade to KitKat now, you can check if your device supports tap and pay. Supported devices will display a tile in your "My Wallet" screen that tells you to set up tap and pay. For devices that are not eligible for Android 4.4 KitKat or don’t support tap and pay, you can still use the Google Wallet app to store all of your loyalty cards and offers, send money to your friends, view your orders, and use the Google Wallet Card to make purchases.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for continuing to be a loyal Wallet user.
If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center.
Sincerely,
The Google Wallet Team

I just recieved the email also. Sucks since I am on verizon and since I have to use a older modded application. I too would like to know more details!
I installed the latest version of MX Player PRO on my S6 edge(official 7.0, Gmail and Samsung Email installed), S7 edge(official 8.0, Gmail and Samsung Email installed), S9+(official 8.0, only Gmail installed).
But on S7 edge and S9+, purchase can't be found while on S6 edge can be found.
Any solution?

If you have purchased through Google Play, Gmail has nothing to do with. It will just validate the purchase through Google Play itself. So, make sure that you are using the same account on your new device and Google Play Store and Google Play Services can reach the Google Play servers. If the problem persists, kindly remove your account from Google Play and add it back again after restarting the device. It may fix the issues.

Thank you for reply.
But actually, I purchased MX Player Pro through the official website... And I'm sure that I'm using the same account on my devices...
More specifically, the purchase can be found before I update MX Player Pro to the latest version on my S9+ and S7 edge.
Best Regards

You might have downloaded the Google Play build. Due to Google Play restrictions, Google Play builds doesn't come up with the component to validate the licenses from our licensing servers. It can only validate that apps that are purchased from Google Play.

As 1.10.22 wasn't release build, we haven't updated the same in our websites. If you are looking for a beta build that can validate purchases from our websites, Kindly download the latest beta build 1.10.23 from http://mx.j2inter.com/translation/test-build.

Have you enabled the Background Play option? By default, background play is enabled only for audio files.
If the app is getting killed while on background play, kindly try the latest beta build from our website. We have improved our background play to work better with the background process restrictions on the newer android versions.

Thank you for reply:fingers-crossed:
I downloaded ver 1.10.24 from official website ( I'm sure that I have not downloaded the google play version ) and the “can not be activated” problem still exists on my S7 edge and S9+. But on my S6 edge, it works well.
So I guess maybe something wrong with Samsung devices running Oreo?

We regret the inconveniences caused. Based on our investigation, it has been found that Android 8 and newer versions no longer allow the apps to read the list of accounts available on the device as it used to be on the older versions. So, it will fail to activate the license purchased through our website.
We are working towards releasing a quick workaround to address the issues caused by the android restrictions. Hopefully, it will be available in the next few days. Meanwhile, you can clear the MX Player data and disable the contact permission of the MX Player. It will allow you to run the app for a few days even in the "License not verified" state.

Thank you for these instructions
Is it possible that I purchase MX Player on Google Play now then you refund the money I paid on the official website through PayPal?
I purchased MX Player Pro from your website but not from google play several years ago just because I can't use google play in my country that time while I can use google play now.:fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, Paypal doesn't provide us with refund option for the transactions older than 6 months. As you have purchased several years back, it may not be possible to refund now.

Alright, while I'm still going to purchase on Google Play.
MX Player Pro worths the price.
In app "check for updates" is convenient, but I'm afraid that Google will add some new restrictions to Android in the future.
Thank you for reply
And sorry for my poor English, Idk if there are some grammatical errors... Though I'm learning English recently...

Hello there.
I have been using MX player pro for some time, purchased via Google play on my Nokia 6.
After latest update to Android pie i can't use it anymore.
I tried to uninstall it and install it again but it doesn't show up as my other purchased apps, but asks me to buy it again?
Could you help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
Is there a pixel user who can kindly share with me the APK of the latest version of Google keyboard which has the latest improvements in voice typing? This version is currently available for the pixel phones but I would like to try it on my honor view 10 phone. This can be done by an app called "App backup and restore". Here is the link to what I'm talking about.

I'm in the beta program and I have the same version that's available on Apkmirror gboard beta version 8.0.8 238291163 arm64
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...38291163-beta-arm64-v8a-android-apk-download/
I verified that Offline voice works on my pixel. Fyi though Google has many ways to verify your phone is a pixel or not so Good luck!
Hey
Is there a Android TV stick without Google account? Maybe some Chinese stuff? What buying options do I have If I not wish to create a Google account.

Just buy amlogic device and don't use Gapps. Never tried it but micro-g would probably work as a Gapps replacement for atv devices.
I think that all TV that does not have an Android system is free to force you to have a google account

From link:
How To Use Android TV Box Without Your Google Account
Long story short, you can’t use an Android TV box without a Google account. There used to be loopholes for getting around this, but with each update to their operating system Android has been closing those loopholes and it is now impossible.
Is this true?
