Hi all,
Check this out
https://play.google.com/store
Soo... this is the Android Market with a new name (removing "Android") that is meant to be used on all devices, with Android Apps being 3rd in the list of things you can buy. Oh, and they have an iOS app now to slowly siphon their users once they buy stuff.
Also, does anyone know what tablet this is?

Google on Tuesday introduced Google Play, a cloud-based service formed from the merger of Android Market, Google Music, and Google eBookstore. It's Google's take on Apple's iTunes Store, with a dash of iCloud.

I read the article and TBH I still dont get it. Nothing new that I didn't know. Does Google want more people to know about its Market features? I really just dont get what they merged? The market looks the same on my phone as it did before. The market via pc browser didnt change either, so I dont know what the big fuss is.. If someone can explain so my retarded ass gets it that would be much appreciated..

OK, I'm going to give this a shot:
1. "The unified store as an effort to eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices."
2. "Google Play is entirely cloud-based so all your music, movies, books, and apps are stored online, always available to you, and you never have to worry about losing them or moving them again,"
3. Compete with Itune store.
4. The interface maybe similar to Market, but the way they store their content and how you retrieve them and the anywhere/anyplace availability is the key.
Example1 for item 1: You have 1000 songs store on your SD card and you back them up in your PC. 2 days later you down load 20 more songs from the Market but using your PC, now you need to sync these songs to your phone. Nope, not with Google play, all your songs are stored online, you can sync these songs directly to your phone.(eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices.

My music was cloud based. I dont know about movies or books because I never bought so I couldnt tell you. It just seems to me that they are highlighting features that have always been there..

That's the whole idea, it will work for everyone. In your case only music cloud base, other people may have movies or books or what ever. With Google play, it's one place cloud storage. How about other items that I listed??

NICE! I know most of ppl think this is stupid but I think Google is making a right move. But if they don't keep up, they will fall behind and so is their business.

Google is continuing they're progression. Setting themselves up to be the future one stop shop for communication and entertainment.
I like to watch it unfold but I don't care for how invasive Google will eventually be with our information. In Europe you can send Google a letter asking them for all your history with Google services. One gentleman had 15,000 pages sent to him from Google. Google isn't legally obligated to do so in the US.
I'm done rambling now

if your phone is rooted, it will not allow you to rent movies straight to your phone. I was able to get it start playing when I put the browser into desktop mode on the link it posts, but it just keeps loading. Anyone have any suggestions?
If you are rooted, DO NOT USE GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES.
Google does not allow movies to play on rooted phones, citing licensing issues (though I'm not really sure what having root access has to do with pirating movies).
If you have bought or rented a movie that you haven't watched yet, you can submit a support ticket requesting a refund. I got my refund within a few hours of complaining, so at least they're good about that.
In protest, I will no longer be making any music, movie, or book purchases from Google. I also changed all my privacy settings for my Google account to be least beneficial to Google (ie: no customized ads, etc). I'd like to see all root users that are pissed off by this move do the same. It seems perhaps Google doesn't realize just how many of us there are.

That's been the case since Google allowed movie renting on their store. Honestly, I don't think it's Google's choice. The movie studios probably have a strong voice when it came to this choice. I'm guessing the movie studios believe that if you're rooted, it'd be easier to get passed the DRM they put in place.
I honestly don't care since I don't watch movies from the Play Store. The majority of Android users most likely never root their phones, thus they don't "lose out" on this option.

rooted nook color
my nook color has a rooted sd card which has unlocked my 'reader' to so much more. Google Play marks most applications as incompatible, how can I change to something that Google play see as compatible? Other markets will load apps which work, but lately many apps are only available from Google Play. Suggestions anyone?

This is the Droid Charge forum. The Nook Color forum would be a much better place to ask that question.
I like how Google Play just introduced its first physical product, the GSM Galaxy Nexus. $400 out of contract. Damn.
I paid $300 for the Charge and it isn't even listed on the software update slides leaked recently. I hope Google goes with another company instead of Samsung for their next Nexus phone.
As for the Charge, I still like it, but wish I could add ram and a bigger flashdisk to it.

So long as I can get a version using Verizon's unlimited LTE plan, SOLD!
Being only 14 years of age, I do not have a debit card and, without one, cannot purchase applications, books or movies from the Play Store. So, are there alternate methods of payment available?
Only method I can think of is to ask a parent/guardian or friend or a relative to let you use theirs. You can set up Google Wallet, and say ask them to put £10 on that with their card, and then you pay them £10.
Even if they're scared of security, just delete the card after you're done. I buy an app, add my card details, and then delete the card details once it's on my phone so there's no traces of it if someone else uses my account. Hope this helps

you can buy a prepaid debit card and load it with cash. Google them. They are great for teenagers or anyone who can't get credit
Doesn't this belong to Q and A ?

How did you delete your details of card? There's no option in deleting the credit card.

I have a question. I have got gpay installed and I am at the stage where from app crashing to app asking for card details. Does it mean it will work? Not that I use it but just wondering where it ends for people who say gpay doesn't work. Maybe something I can help with!
Opening the app works. What doesn't work is adding a card to use in store payment.
Due to not being certified by Google.
Yup almost everyone without success
Google pay won't work unless America stopped ban Huawei
"Couldn't complete your transaction Gift cards can only be used in the country where they were".
This is the error Im getting everytime when trying to purchase apps with play store.
Im rooted, have xposed, have tried to mock location, change ip with a reliable vpn. Im not in US.
Any workaround for this issue? Even a hard one?
Change your Google Play country:
1. Open the Google Play Store app .
2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
3. Tap Settings - General Account and device preferences Country and profiles.
I am having the same issue, except with Indonesia. I previously bought IDR gift cards and could redeem them just fine, but since today that has no longer been working and I get the same error. The Google account has its store and region set to Indonesia and I have tried using a VPN to no avail. No clue how to fix this

Thats not a solution. Those who change their country in play store, will lose all of their balance and even access to the paid apps, books and games that they got before.
Check my next post
It's also not a solution because my country in those settings is already correct, and yet the gift card redemption doesn't work.

This. Google messed up. It seems in their ham fisted attempt to target scammers they ended up locking the play balances of untold thousands (perhaps more) of legitimate accounts.

Try using a Mastercard or Visa if you can.

Yes, credit and debit cards confirmed still work but that's not an adequate solution for many, especially those who already have substantial amounts of money in their play balance.
The issue only affects play gift cards and play balances. It even affects play balances that weren't necessarily filled using play gift cards in some cases, I'm told.
I choose not to willingly give out my bank CCs or real identity to scummy spyware companies like google anyways, so I have a prepaid visa gift card set as alternate form of payment.. this form of payment remains unaffected by google's recent gaffe.

I rarely use pay apps. I have 4 on the phone.
Package Disabler and Poweramp are needed the other two I could ditch.
Best to feed the beast as little as possible (meaning Google Playwhore).
Google can't do much to a MC or Visa at least in the US as your assets are protected.

Poweramp is def worth ponying up for. I think the dev even has a non-google payment option with a separate non-google variant of the apk. That's the way to go for sure, but I also understand he probably gets more volume of sales through the play store than through his own site's vendor process. Nature of the beast.
As for payment, walking into a store and putting cash on an unregistered mc or visa debit/gift card is simple enough and works for most online purchases with the exception of subscriptions/recurring billing. If all I wanted was a $6 app for instance I would just load $10 on the card. Better to risk compromising pocket change than to risk compromising your checking account. Plus it's anon if you follow the correct opsec procedures.

Nope but I also don't live in Indonesia, I am guessing this change in Google policy is targeted at people like me. My Play Store region is set to Indonesia, I have tried using a VPN in Indonesia and setting my GPS location to Indonesia all at the same time, but Google still somehow detects that I am not in Indonesia. No clue how to activate my cards.
I have no issues adding the credit cards to P7P Google Wallet, but for 2 cards I had to use the specific app.
I'd have to add them to the Wallet of Pixel Watch, but I get an error if I do it from the Wallet app, as I had if I did it on the phone.
Unluckily there are no specific Wear OS banking apps for those cards...
I had to contact Google support, it seems a common issue. They fixed my account and now it works flawlessly.

Are you rooted? Because i can't evem add one it tells me phone is rooted.
Actually yes, but I wasn't at the time of the issue. Wallet is working fine if you hide root.
As I posted before, Google assistance solved what it seemed to be a problem of my account.
I have the same problem and can´t add card to the watch. I have a Xiaomi 11 ultra with chinese rom, managed to put google wallet working well on the phone but can´t add a card to the watch. Simply it says that cannot connect to phone.
How did you solve the issue? don´t know if it was the same problem but is worth to try..
