Where r u from? It seems that these will only work in US.

Use titanium backup to defrost them...

Titanium backup requires root. BUT I FOUND A WORKAROUND MYSELF:
1) Update the desired app through the web-based Play Store.
2) Then uninstall it from within the Play Store on the device.
3) TADAAAAA you'll see the app in the apps menu.
4) Update it again from the device.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

Another workaround:
Just remove your Google account and re-add it BUT KEEP IN MIND that you have to be connected to a US-based VPN all the time.

What about using MarketAccess or MarketEnabler whilst Wi-Fi is turned on and phone signal and GPS turned off?

When my Play content disappeared my 'fix' was to remove my Google account and re-add it. You'll notice the Accounts option under settings within the Play app itself. So I just switched to a different account (the Play app only seems to let you use one at a time, unlike eg gmail where you can add all of your Android associated accounts) and then back to the original one.
Worked for me anyways, hope it helps :good:

Email Stopping

The Native Email App...not gmail....is Stopping.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Have you removed/froze the "My magazine" app(s)?
For some reason the stock email app is dependent on it.

Facebook notifications not working

Facebook push notifications aren't coming through on my phone only on my Facebook account, if I login on another account they work fine. I've tried to logout, login, reinstall facebook, clear data/cache, turned off platforms, turned off and on notifications, restarted my phone several times, cleared all online sessions. What do, halp plz
Only on your account?
are you running OOS? if so try disabling and enabling notification access in Privacy settings.(I guess)
I'm on SGS5 and I know this isn't the thread for my phone, but I'm at my wits end and want a solution. I'm sure it's not the phone, but the Facebook account itself.
The deactivate/reactivate didn't work for me on my main account that isn't getting push notifications. Funny thing is I wanted to see if it was just the app or the account, so I made a new Facebook account to test the push notifications on that. Push notifications for the app work with the test account, but not with my daily main account (same phone, same app on phone). I have tried everything under the sun. I've tried the BB thing, turned platform thing off, uninstall/reinstall, cleared cache and data, removed every attached app, literally everything I can think of and/or find online. I think something is not allowing my main account to receive push notifications, like they're being sent to an old phone (which there is no other devices logged in) or some chrome extension or app/program I attached to my Facebook has ****ed it all up. I haven't had push notifications in probably probably 3 years, on my SGS2 and nothing on my SGS5 I got 2 years ago... Sorry for ranting, but I just wish it would work. Do you think my main Facebook account is attached to a very Old Android Device ID?

Mine started working again out of nowhere. I didn't do anything I just left it like that and one day I woke up and I had facebook notifications. It is probably a problem with Facebook itself, the only option is probably to wait it out

Facebook application is kind of headache. It didn't accept previous version of Oxygen OS. They finally worked it out. It is application's problem. Try installing previous versions. It should work in that way.

It's not the app, it's the account. I know this because I created a new account and tested the push notifications on that account. The push notifications work on the test account, but not my main account. Same app, phone and settings throughout Facebook. One thing I did notice was on the test account, the Facebook ID (example: [email protected]) is greyed out under primary account with my email selected as primary. Where as on my main account, it's just my email under primary.

I have the exact same problem as you, I've also tried everything and nothing has worked, and I did the same experiment with another account and the push notifications worked with that other account, but nothing with mine.
I'm honestly very frustrated 'cause I can't find the reason for all this and no one seems to know what's causing it. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with some extension I installed in the past or something like that, but I really have no idea, I'm going nuts over this, specially when other people say they were able to solve it by doing this or that, but I've also done this and that and nothing works.

I think it was a Chrome Extension as well. I believe it started happening when I started using a Facebook Chrome extension. I believe it was this one, but I can't sign out of it anymore. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...ome/gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp?hl=en-US

Reinstalling or uninstalling the Extension fixed the push notifications for your acct? I uninstalled the extension a LONG time ago, and cleared all connected apps and what not. I remember the old version had you actually connect it to your Facebook by signing in, but I could never "sign-out" and I did uninstall and the notifications never came back. The options page is just blank when I go to it > chrome-extension://gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp/options.html

Mail app like HTC Sense mail

I've seen some talk around this forum about porting Sense apps into the OP2. That would be great. But in the meantime, being a former HTC guy myself and a lover of the Sense UI, I used the HTC Mail app for my work email which is exchange and also for my personal email which a pop account from my ISP. The HTC Mail app allows for multi folder syncing when setting up the account. But it's not the kind of syncing that just lets you pick any folder you want from your Exchange account. It actually syncs the many different folders and displays all the messages in the main display as well as the POP account. So far I haven't been able to find a third party mail app that will sync with Exchange like this. I have been able to install the HTC mail app but it does not allow for the creation of the Exchange account with that app, only through GMail.
If anyone can make any since of this, I'd appreciate some input/help.
Thanks!
I recently discovered the mail app CloudMagic, it's perfect, at least for me. It allows you to:
- Get instant notifications (I.E. no sync intervals).
- Have separate mailbox for other accounts (I'm using iCloud and Gmail) as well as an "All inboxes" option.
- Manage the folders you wish to sync from each account.
I know it has support for all types of accounts (including Exchange).
Hopefully I'm on the right track.
You don't need a whole new Rom for a couple HTC Apps and the Sense Launcher. In fact you don't even need Root.
Install the HTC Apk's from here: http://www.fulmics.com/htc-sense/
But dont forget first of all you need to install these Apps: HtcServicePack , LocationPicker and HtcLocationServicesSetting

Thanks. I have flashed some of these. There is just a couple of nuances that don't get transferred. Like the exchange account from the mail app doesn't work and I have to use IMAP email instead.

'Auto-update over Wi-Fi Only' not Working

I have the play store set to auto update apps over Wi-Fi only. However, none of my apps are auto updating, I have to go into the play store and click 'Update All' manually to apply the updates.
I've checked the following ...
Individual app settings to ensure they can be Auto Updated.
Data Usage policy.
Restricted Wi-Fi settings.
All seems to be set correctly for updates to apply. Any other ideas what could be stopping this from working?
I don't know the answer to this but my partners LG G3 had the same problem weather on OS 4,5 or 6

Disney+ for shield outside US

So I got a cheap Disney plus account but am in Ireland,
Thought I could use my vpn and download the app straight to the box from my Google account but this isn't working,
What's the easiest way to get the app,
Ideally the actual Android TV app so it work well with the remote without the curser,
Any help or advice most welcome

VPN should work with play store
But you might have to wipe
Play store app cache or something

Thanks for the reply,I tried installing the apk via the split apk trick going about but the app won't work at all,
Are you in the USA by any chance,I'm reading Disney have complicated things somewhat and your actual Google account has to be the USA also.Also the app is tied to your device
I've set my vpn to USA and none of the US apps are coming up,
Will try your apk anyway thanks.

Yes, might try creating a new Google account with US settings just to get the app,but then I'm like,do I really need this Disney plus anyway,
Cheers though,
The apk you gave throws an error when installing which makes me think they're blocking by more than just ip address
Creating a American gogle account with your VPN set to America seems to work when you sign in to your shield with that account you can get the app.
Hello. I'm looking for a solution to get Disney plus working outside US. I created a new Google account with my VPN and it is OK but it needs a sms confirmation and I had to get my French phone number. Then I saw that my Google play was in FR.... ****
I tried to switch my Google play in US with my PayPal account but bad try
As it is a French postal address I think I'm still with a FR Google play account. I can download the app but I have an error message - > I'm not in the good region
So I'm still looking for a solution please!

To receive sms code, you could try using some temporary sms services website...
Don't know if it works in this particularly case, but worth a try.
