Anyone having problems with Norton Mobile Security? I paid through the app for an upgrade to the lite version. It installed, I looked through it and liked what I saw. I went to check some e-mails and returned to Norton and found it had reverted to the lite version. I have contacted Norton but as of yet have got no help nor indication from them as to when or if they are going to make this right.
An update: after two days of e-mail and chat ping-pong and them want me to be a beta tester of a $29.99 product. I finally got them to refund my money. I talked to a friend that has the same setup as mine and he had NMS on his and working fine. He bought the retail version at Staples. I went and with reward card got a $12.00 instant savings. Got home downloaded, installed, entered key code, and everything works. The $12.00 off offer is valid thru 10/29/2011 - To bad that Norton couldn't have just sent me the app and code. They know they have problems and want there customers to fix it. In retrospect I have to laugh at my wording in the second sentence, I paid through the "app", might have been a misspell.
I've already posted questions about network speeds so...
I've read about issues with apps showing up weird due to screen size. Does anyone have issues with common apps such as Facebook, tapatalk, other popular apps? Will I have full access to the app market?
I plan on ordering from Handtec, has anyone used them? Who honors the Samsung 2 yr warranty that comes with this device?
Is there anything else I should know or be concerned about when picking up this device?
I thinks that it's still up in the air. I'll most likely just get a Squaretrade warranty and be done with it. Have had great luck with them.
So, here's the thing. I have a friend living in the US who is coming over to India in about 10 days.
I want to order a Nexus 7 that is delivered to his house & he will bring it with him when he comes here.
I figured out how to access the US Play Store [using a proxy that spoofs an US IP].
Now, can I use my Indian credit card and enter a US billing address ?
Are there any other steps I need to take so that the order goes through ?
If anyone has placed an order or has any experience doing such stuff, I would really appreciate you input.

Can your "friend" not buy it for you using his credit card and you pay him out later? He can pick it up at any retail store stocking N7.
Most CC cards need the billing address to be specified on the file, I suspect transaction with your own CC will be denied.
Besides, have you been reading the forums yet? All the 12-13 manufacturing defects this tablet has?
What will you do if you get a lemon?

Nah, I couldn't ask him to pay for it.
If I give a US billing address [fake], will the transaction be declined ?
As for the defects, I am worried, but as ASUS seems to releasing the Nexus 7 in India in a few months, I will get warranty soon enough. But, I definitely hope I get a defect-free tablet.:fingers-crossed:
Anyone have any ideas on how to do it ?
Bump ?

Hi there,
I'm a reseller in other country. My customers want to buy google nexus so much that I have to find a way to order it from play store.
I will ship the items to a cargo service in US and then export them to my country.
In the purchase step, I added my international VISA card with billing address is the cargo service address and the shipping address is the same. I did it well and ordered about 200 items last month. However prior last three days, google immediately canceled my all orders if I place new order. I don't know whether google implement their policy about using the US-credit card payment policy more strictly.

You can use your CC, with the REAL billing address. Although from what I've learned, it is possible that your account might be suspended.
But DON'T PANIC.... If it does, write to customer service and provide your ID and CC scans to prove you are not fraud...
There are cases here in China that passed through.
Good luck.

I encountered the same problem recently. Called Google Play support and apparently there is some CC processing issue since Sunday and was still working on it which is consistent with your experience. So just have to wait I suppose. Unless of course the CS is misleading us although he has no reason to do so.
Anyone successfully ordered devices from Google in the last 3 days ?

OMG, you 're so nice. I think I'm the only one meet this problem ( . I'm very frustrated 5 days because I cannot place any order on google play store. Do you have skype or email that we can contact and share information about ordering bulk google nexus 7?
I created many gmail account to tried place order with 3 different international debit cards but there's no positive result. I received some emails with the same content:
Hi there,
Thanks for your patience in this matter, my name is Paul E. and I will
help you sort this out today. I really do know how frustrating these
things can be.
According to our records, this purchase was cancelled by our system for
security reasons, but this appears to have been an isolated case that has
since been resolved. I've taken a look at your account and confirmed that
you have not been charged.
Though your order has been cancelled, you may notice activity on your
credit/debit card for this order. Please be assured that the amount on
your card statement is an authorization, not an actual charge, and the
authorization will automatically be removed from your account within 1-14
business days, depending on your bank.
Though we're not able to re-instate cancelled orders, you're welcome to
try your purchase again. If your orders continue to be automatically
cancelled, please do write back and let me know so that we can alert the
proper team and ensure that your orders go through properly.
I hope that answers your question, but feel free to ask any other Google
Play questions you have. I'd also like to let you know to expect a short
anonymous survey about your support experience in the next few days; we
keep trying to find ways to improve our customer support, and your
feedback will definitely help.
Best,
Paul E.
The Google Play Support Team

How can you use non-US billing address? I tried but I cannot place order with non-us billing address.
More problems ordering apps
Hi,
Ok, so hopefully someone has a suggestion.
I've been able to order apps just fine using Proxmate extension on Chrome.
The other day it stopped working.
I had my programmer create a proxy to try and get through, and still no luck ordering.
One possible problem is I tried probably 20+ times to order as we were trying to debug the process.
Now, I have an employee of mine in the US loglin to my account, and try to place an order for an app and it gives her the same error - that the order could not be placed for a technical reason.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? I can log in just fine, but can not purchase. If they suspended my account, I would imagine that I would not be able to even login - but that's just a guess.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
I bought my Nexus 7 a month ago and successfully activated it to receive the 25$ credit.
I used 12$ out of the 25$ and then didn't purchase anything for a week or two.
Today I wanted to purchase an app with my remaining 13$ and I noticed the Google Play credit payment method is greyed out and I can't use it.
This is what it says:"This payment method cannot be used for this purchase (RBC)" .
Searched everywhere... didn't see a similar report.
Tried purchasing other apps... to check if it's something specific...
Also tried to purchase apps with my Nexus S... greyed out there as well.
Anyone has an idea why this happened or how to solve it?
As far as I know, the only restrictions are that it cannot be hardware (ie: Nexus 7, GNex, N7 case)
Same problem here...
Same here. First order went fine, but now it's greyed out. FYI, I'm using my tablet outside US, tried both local IP and US based VPN, and neither has worked.
I have the same problem. I think google made it impossible to use the money when you are not from the USA. I saw that all the guys that posted in this thread are from outside the USA.

Im outside us and i can use it just fine, only problem i had was when the app price was in a different currency it would allow me to purchase it with the credit but i could bypass it using orbot
i am outside USA but I used a VPN for the IP and market enabler for the currency and it didn't help.
I emailed Google about it... I hope they'll respond.

What is orbot?
OK found it. You just use this app? Without vpn or anything else?
Tried using orbot but the $25 still grey out..

I am just having exactly the same issue. The worst is I dun even spent one buck yet...Tried a lot of time / method but still failed..:crying:
Yap..encounter the same problem..
It happened to me too. Didn't even get a chance to use my $25 at all
Hope there's a workaround for this..
Same issue here and I'm in Canada...
Hopefully someone will have the solution to this..
Same here. I wonder what the (RBC) error code could mean? I can still purchase apps on the device using my cc, but I've found that I also have a problem buying from the Play store on the web today. Neither my N7 store credit, nor my regular cc are working on the Play Store web site. Trying to purchase anything that way yields a Google Wallet error. Both of these payment methods show up just fine in the Google Wallet settings. Weird.
I've emailed Google about the problem and will report back if I hear anything. BTW, I'm in Australia and I bought my N7 through the Play store.
Same thing here (in the Netherlands, Nexus 7 running PA 1.99 shipped from the USA and an HTC One X running CM10). I have used the credit before to purchase an app, so it's a recent change. Uninstalling updates to Google Play and clearing data has no effect. Orbot returns an error when trying to start transparent proxying, no luck using that either.
Purchasing apps using a credit card is working just fine.
EDIT: Got Orbot to work by using the default iptables, but no luck. Play credit is still greyed out.
Hi,
I am from India, and i got the 25$ credit by entering actual CC info and some random US zipcode and phone. Now when i try to buy an app using the credit i am getting the same greyed out(RBC) error. Any solutions?

How could google take away the credit from us? It's like they gave us something and now they want it back. What about those who had already spent the $25 earlier on. It's unfair.
i'd spent £0.60 two weeks ago and mine still available. if it makes any difference bought and used in the UK.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Same problem here. I dont think it is related to location.
I was in the US last week. Bought the Nexus 7 and activated to get $25 credit. However, whatever I tried to purchase, it would not let me use the credit. I tried different apps, books, movie and music.
However, have come back to Japan now. Hope this gets resolved soon.
Got the S4 in the UK and the is no Visa paywave app. Thought it was been pushed as a major selling point of this phone?
I was expecting it too, oh well, will just have to root and then install Google Wallet.
Yes....I got my S4 on the 26th and couldn't find Visa Paywave in the Hub. Had to install GoogleWallet instead. I'm assuming that it will be added in the Hub in the future
Great. . . At first, I was dissappointed that my region gets the quad core version instead of the octacore. Now we don't even have a visa paywave app that samsung said to have preinstalled on the Galaxy S4. I wanted to use the visa paywave since I can't use google wallet on my region.

Quite disappointing indeed not to be able to play around with NFC payments, I was looking forward to this but google wallet is not officially available where I live either.
Actually has anyone seen any recent news related to Paywave on the S4? All I seem to find on the web are articles dating back to late Feb / mid March.

Hi I live in Greece and in the tv they have a advertisement of visa paywave but I can't.find.anywhere how.to download the app
Does anyone know how to download it
From what I can make out paywave is a Developement kit for visa developer.visa.com/paywavemobile as for being pre-installed what the s4 has the Service Provider Trusted Service Manager built in to the phone instead of needing a sim with it on (this is only what I have found out from reading forums and talking to someone on the uk orange quicktap team. They are in development at the moment but only support s3 and have no idea if they will bring s4 into development or develop the paywave for there own use.
