$25 for app store - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a nexus 7 and it prompted me to enter my CC when I first booted it up for free $25, but I did it later when adding a card under "add a card for $25" right before purchasing a paid app and it still hasn't shown anything. My cc is now registered and the drop down "add a card for $25" still shows. Does it take a while to show up?

Hmmm.... did you get transformers and all that stuff?

negative, just put in my cc under "add cc for 25" and back to the menu in app store right before purchasing an app..
tried it again, even with another cc, and same thing.

Do you need a credit card to activate the $15 Google credit

Hey!
How do I buy something with googles $15 credit ?
I go to buy something and it only gives me an option for credit cards.
How do I pay for it with my Google credit that came with the device ?

Do you mean the $25 credit you get when you buy the tablet? If so then:
a) no.. I don't think you have to have a card to use the credit but it will be tied to whatever account you use to log in on the tablet first.
b) you can use this credit while in the play store (from your device) when you select and app an window pops up and you can select your payment method there. You should see an option for "Google Play balance". Select it and voila.
There's no redeem button ;(
I love in the UK and apparently you can't get gift cards in the UK. What doing do if anything?
Thanks !

If you have an Android device already, you will have a Play account and the credit will be added to that. If you don't have a Play account you will need to create one when you set up your device, you need a CC to do that so you can buy apps etc. Once you've set up your Google account the credit will appear on it and you'll be able to buy apps to the value of £15 before anything is charged to your card.
They have been a bit clever with it mind you, cannot carry a balance over, so when you have £2.74 left you can't buy something for £4.99 and pay the difference.
I have the £15 credit and I live in the UK

Im signed in on it and its the first account on there.
When I press buy on a app it shows up only one option which is Google wallet.
Google:
For a limited time, customers who purchase a Nexus 7 may be eligible to receive a $25 Google Play credit. This is our gift to you when you have, or add, a valid form of payment to your Google Wallet account.
Guess Il have to add a card.
The free $25/£15 Google Play credit is automatically added to your Google account once you sign in for the first time when you set the device up, regardless of whether or not you had a card on the account before.
Oh... I wonder why my credit isnt showing up. There is no other option but to pay for an app with Google wallet.

Trouble Downloading From Amazon

Hello, I just flashed my new Nook touch last night. Everything went well. Except for one thing. Whilst I am waiting on the Play Store to decide it will work I would like to use the Amazon app store to download some apps. When I click get app I receive the following error. As you can see I have no idea what it's trying to tell me. The text in the error box must be white or something. I have the box checked for allowed from 3rd party. I guess I could just wait a while longer until the Play Store decides to work.... Any thoughts?

Did you un-check and re-check the install non-market apps check box? This seems to be necessary for some reason. I believe it is checked by default but in order to work, you need to un-check and then re-check it.
Yes I did. Thanks for the thoughts though. I wish I knew what the error message was. I can't read it. Drives me crazy. Lol.

Do you have a micro SD card in your nook ? Amazon appstore downloads the APKs on the card not on the nook.

Install Google Wallet in UK....

HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

The only one I know of is orange/Barclaycard which only works on s3 & s4.
Visa have said they're releasing one this month. But they said that a while ago and new recent news about it.

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.

Can't we just record d the pay pass information with NFC and forward it like a normal card in store ? Is visa going to make it available in AU too?

I've got it working however I can't remember how to add a card as I'm obviously using a UK post code not a us zip code

Don't work for me, I installed it for tester and now I can't uninstall the app, I tried with titanium too. How I can uninstall this?
Clean master uninstalled it
It installs fine but payments decline everywhere for me. I've tried Gregg's, Boots, MacDonald's and Starbucks

[7-17-2014]AllCast on Amazon App Store

If you have not heard, AllCast is on Amazon App Store now. You can go there and get the free app, open the app, and click on the Amazon logo in top right corner to purchase the premium version through the App Store. If you have coins to use it will take 499 to purchase but you get coins back in return. It told me I would get 150 coins back after purchase but I really got back 499 so the premium unlock was free. Others are reporting the same thing so might give it a shot. :good:
Thanks for the tip, I just bought it. I had 250 points, bought 500 more, and still have 610 points left. One thing I forgot though is that Amazon charges sales tax in Texas. I would have saved that by buying it through the Play Store.
I can confirm this works

Works for me too with a Sprint Note 3 and a Panasonic Smart TV.
No one else unable to upgrade to premium via amazon? I have t-mo note 2 and don't get the popup when I click the amazon logo. Finally something to spend my coins on, and I can't do it.

Samsung pay won't work for me

Sent from my QTAQZ3 using XDA Free mobile app
I can't get Samsung pay to work, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, suggested by my bank and made sure my card is properly registered. When I try to use it the card reader reads it and asks the normal questions like do you want cash back and is this amount correct then when I try to complete it just has an error message and I end up using my real card
Try to use your card as credit not debit (might need to press OK, cancel or change type on the POS terminal)
Where are you trying to use it?

+1. Pretty sure I saw something on Samsung's FAQ about just that.
