are you having troubles with it too?
No, since I'm new to this market. But, I saw somewhere that apps not working (or just updated to work on the mkt) w/2.1 are not showing up for the N1...
happened to me when i first rooted my phone. note that i rooted it before i ever even put in my sim card, but i think it had to do with that.
fixed it by wiping/factory resetting with my sim card in.
How does it work in Nexus market place? If you've already paid for an application, and have uninstall it say temporarily, will you be charged again when you re-download it?
If you bought it from a different market place, how will it know that you're already a paying customer in Nexus market place?
Doesn't matter.. if you've bought an app you can download it again for free. Apps I paid for a year ago on my G1 show up.
Tony, thanks for your reply. Good to hear that info on ownership is shared across the various markets.
if you mean the top paid apps tab in the marketplace app i was missing that also. i had started using the phone without a sim in it, so i wiped everything and restarted with sim in it right away and the top paid tab was back

That would be quite lame otherwise!
Paid apps tab
I had the paid app tab before. Today I just used the phone without a sim for the first time then put the sim back and now the paid app tab is not there anymore. Anyone having the same issue?
Hi Guys i am looking for someone to make me a gift of Screen Suite 1.1.9.
or if someone can tell me where to get it.
I leave in Ireland and we don't have access to paid apps here yet, what a bummer i know. I came across Screen Suite Trial and i like want to but Full version but cant, as we cant buy apps in this country yet.
I would be so so so so so HAPPY............
PLS PLS PLS....
Tks
you could try rooting your desire then using market enabler?
Try contacting the developer directly (http://www.appsbeyond.com/) and ask if you can purchase directly.

Dave

Tks again.
If you have any more brain storms let me know.......
Hi Mark,
If you open market enabler and set a custom value of 310260 you should see paid and other unavailable apps in the market.

Brian

What do you mean it doesn't support your network? Afaik, what market enabler does is trick the Market app that you're on a specific carrier, ie. Tmobile[us]. So you can then have access to the paid apps.

Hi Mark,
I'm on Meteor myself and using the setting for meteor does not work. When you set the custom value it takes you back to the actual tab and you must press the save current settings button to store it. Have you definitly rooted your phone?

It's fairly straight forward once you follow the guide (I used the giude on the Modaco site), although I did think I bricked mine when I first did it on my windows 7 64-bit machine (which I think is a known issue with win 7 ), I had no problems doing it on my ubuntu machine.
Fortunately when I bought mine from meteor the desires were unlocked so I didn't need to do the gold card step. Not sure whether they sell them unlocked now but I'm sure they are locked on vodafone, O2 and 3.
This is my first time having an NFC device, so please bear with me. I rooted my phone the evening I received it. Now I'm trying to set up Google Wallet, and it says that my device is unsupported. In the help topic regarding this message, it mentions something about rooted devices being unsupported due to security reasons, can I still use this feature? Is it discouraged in any way?
If anybody has some insight or experience with this, I'd like to know.
I have the evo lte rooted with same unsupported device message, yes it will still work

The reason it is discouraged is because anyone (with the now-how) can brute-force access your pin if your phone is rooted. And then skip away making payments on goodies.

Well seems about as secure as having somebody run off with your actual wallet... So off-topic but where are the places where I can actually use Google Wallet >_>

Any place that has tap-to-pay or pay-pass features (forgot what the actual name is). I've seen it at McDonald's, CVS/Walgreens, Best Buy, and a few other large chains around town.

Plenty of you fly to Japan and China, they have been using it for years. You can try looking up PayPass mechant, such as this link: http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works/in-store.html
So it doesn't have to be specifically for google wallet? They work on the things like the speedpass at speedway or your creditcard where you just tap it to the machine and it gets your infO?

Awesome! Looking forward to trying this out in the next few weeks. Hope I remember to try it when I see it...
I tried to use this at Walgreens today. They had the translucent blue PayPass terminal. I sat there for about 30 seconds and nothing happened. I even tried to enter the app and still nothing. NFC was on, and my card is attached in Google Wallet.
I think I set up wallet, then unlocked and rooted, then had to re-set up Wallet. Am I doing something wrong? The clerk was staring at me like I was crazy, just holding my phone next to the terminal....

I had that happen at Taco Bueno. And a McDonalds. But at some McDonalds it works. I think that so few people use this system that when its broken no one complains. And its probably never even tested when they set it up.
Typically you can just tap your phone to the thing (no need to be in the app). It'll prompt you for a PIN. Then you can pay.
If it's not working you may have a poor data connection? I think it requires data to work.

I'd still say it's more secure than that. Anyone can swipe a card and charge it as credit. Relatively few people would know how to brute force hack google wallet on a rooted device.
Everyone.
Google wallet does not require a data connection.
If its not working , I read on the wallet website to "hold it about an inch" from the terminal. Without placing it on the terminal. Try to see if that works.

Yeah mine didn't work at the gas station the other day, though I didn't log out of Google Wallet before I flashed a rom and rooted recently so some say that it'll never work again after that because of the secure element getting locked or something like that. Hopefully that's not true.
I've flashed and reflashed a lot. All you need to do is delete the data, connect to high speed internet like WiFi, then open it up. Worked for me.

So I down loaded this Amber\GR2 update or whatever it's called; the only feature that I liked doesn't work!! Numbers that I've blocked still come through WTF? When I go to block the number it tells me that that number is already blocked.
Its a work in progress and having used many android ones its no worse than many of them. Give it time, the best blocked I found for androids was from the muiu roms and sadly not downloadable separate of the roms. The fact there at least trying to include the feature into the base os is good news.

Nope it's not working I just got a call and a voice mail from a supposed blocked number. WTH I'm on a Lumina 822 (Verizon) Any on here have a Lumina 822 with this issue?
Have you gone in and see if the number shows up in the list of blocked numbers? Also, if you haven't launched the "app" where this list is, it will not work. The first time you do you have to accept an agreement for this function.
I have the 822 but haven't really checked to see if it is functioning; let me check.
Just tried it on my Unlocked Lumia 920 an it works just fine. The blocked calls can be looked up inside the application then.
Apparently, only ppl on Verizon have problems with this app, as Verizon prefer to receive money in order to block calls through their service, instead of allowing a free app from Nokia to do this.
Damn; I am on Verizon and, of course, this does NOT work. I looked at other forums (Nokia, Verizon, WPCentral) and it is definitely an issue and everyone having it is on Verizon....WTF????
I tried to find an email address I could send a note to at Verizon and I could not find one their website. They do have a number and I plan to call tomorrow when they are open.
Well, spent time on the phone with VZW support today and also came across this (read post 45). It looks like a SW bug between Nokia's Filter app and VZW phone numbers. SMS works.

I can't wait for my contract to be over so I can dump Verizon. They are a bunch of thieves.
Pretty sure I found a way they will work a lot of the time
Step 1. Go into the help app
Step 2 click on contact via email (they reply fast)
Step 3 click on problems with lock screen /notifications
Step 4 click on seeing notifications
Step 5 use this text in the describe the problem " I would like to disable the intrusive ads on the lockscreen at get in the way of seeing my wallpaper."
And then they will most likely disable special offers after that
Wrong. I got sick of the ads to the point I paid the $15. But what for? They don't let me uninstall the 'Special Offers' App after paying. If I had to guess, I would say they don't even turn the ads off and they just place wallpapers over the top of them. I totally had forgotten about this until I saw your post. I will be calling hem or emailing them to ask them to remove the app altogether or refund me my $15.

Why is the previous poster "wrong"? Understand you are fussed about the app remaining after paying $15 USD but most folks are simply happy to see the ads disappear even if downloads still occur in the background. To each his own - there is no "wrong" or "right".

You're right. I could've used better words. I can understand how most would be happy with that, but most don't understand or even know it still runs in the background or wherever. I just feel like it's a scam is all.
i just wanted to say thank you, this method worked perfectly! Saves me $15
Worked for me.

My Fire 7 screen died. I have a Fire 8 on the way. I'm going to ask if they'll transfer my 'ransom' payment from my 7 to the 8...given I only paid to have the ads removed less than two weeks or so ago.
Wow, something similar in german worked. And I got a reply within 15min at 10pm today, on a public holiday, wow
But the reply states that it is a 'one time exception from their policy' to remove the ads. As long as you only have that one device, it's ok.

It worked ! Sent your email before I went to sleep and their answer was there when I woke up:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've had with the ads on the screen of your Fire tablet.
As you requested, I have disabled Special Offers on your Fire.
Please understand that by unsubscribing, you'd have been charged $15.00 for the price difference between the device with and the device without Special Offers. *******But I made an exception and waived off the charge and unsubscribed the special offers on your Fire tablet.
Please turn wireless on, and the next time you connect your device wirelessly, it will complete the process of unsubscribing from Special Offers.
If you've further queries, please let us know so that we can help you in every possible way.
Please visit the following link to provide the information we requested:
I hope this helps! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today.
Best regards,
My Fire 7 screen died so I got a Fire HD 8, used from Amazon direct for $51. Here is what I saved: Apparently when you unsubscribe from 'Special Offers' by paying the fee, it applies to new tablets as well. I didn't ask if they could apply the payment from my Fire 7, it was automatic. So -$15 there. Amazon technicians are either too busy or don't care. I was checking storage when I noticed it had storage on the SD card...well it doesn't come with a card. So -$15 again because I got a free card (retail about $13-15). In the end, a brand new Fire HD 8 is about $70. I pad $25 after the savings. Not bad at all.
I tried this, except I told them the ads were inappropriate. It worked and my ads were removed in just a few minutes.

Thanks so much! I literally sat there for about two minutes and then I turned my kindle on and saw that there were no more ads. Then I typed in my PIN and saw that my Special Offers app was uninstalled!!!
