Verizon App Store Shutting Down End of Jan. 2013. Hells Yeah - Xperia Play General

As many R800x users know too well that VZ likes to shove their terrible VZ Apps store into all their firmwares. Well today VZ announced they will be shutting down the VZ app store as of the end of Jan. 2013 for good in the wake of the popularity of the Google PLAY Store. And for that I say yippee..... breathe it in R800x users.... even though you can remove the Vcast store, which I did a year ago, its just nice to know that VZ is facing the music and shutting its Vcast store down permantly.

They did not create the code gen. That is a combination of ashergrey and Sony Ericsson's work. They simply requested it to be taken down.
Also, you'd gave a greater chance of them releasing 4.2 Jellybean then for them to give you a method of having complete control over their products (see Verizon Galaxy S3)

It took them long enough to realize that most of their users were smarter to the real store not the cr*p they came up with. YEA no more scamming!

Verizon still had an app store?

[Q] When is vzw releasing the Play

Is there any news regarding this? Its like we are always the last to get new devices... and news about them.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Sorry i dont know
Verizon officially now acknowledges the Xperia Play, but don't get too happy. It's listed as coming soon, in an online catalog for Winter 2011.
That's a huge window of time... but at least VZ is now saying something.
http://engt.co/jy11sc
I have checked every day for the past month with nothing. All of the news was on Rogers releasing the play. So hopefully now the only thing to focus on is Verizons release date.
Sent from my ERIS ADR6200 using XDA App
Out of curiosity I dropped into my local Verizon store and found a duplicate paper copy of the same online catalog, "Your Guide" except it was marked Spring/Summer. It has the Xperia Play listed the same way, as "Coming Soon". Interestingly enough, the latest FCC entry showed a phone with both a CDMA radio and a SIM slot, so people thought it was either a global phone or LTE capable. The new publication pretty much proves it's capable of neither. It will be CDMA 3G only. That is, unless Verizon doesn't fact-check it's own phones before printing out thousands of these publications to put in-store. It will also come with an 8GB card. Seems pretty standard.

They don't tell reps anything so of course he had no idea when it is coming or any details about it.
It could launch on the 12th of May, but the HTC Trophy is supposed to launch that day as well... according to rumors and speculation of course. There hasn't been anything pointing to release this week either.
Cool, thanks for all the good info

Looks like the wait may be a bit longer. May 26th if all goes well, and that's not even a confirmed date by VZ themselves but someone on the inside that knows something.

I got tired of waiting and just bought an off contract model of the Rogers phone to use on AT&T. I'm sure I might regret that later but oh well. I already have AT&T so it's not a huge deal to me.

My guess is they are still waiting for Sony to release another update to make it a little more stable or Verizon doesn't want six phones coming out at once. My guess is the update is whats holding them back. I remember with my blackberry storm we ended up waiting 2 more months before we got the update that would make our phones usable. All because Verizon didn't approve of it.
I bet it's also partly because your average techie still doesn't understand that Sony Ericsson and Sony are two different business entities, and the US sure is in Sony hating mode right now over the PSN compromise. I'm sure VZ doesn't want to launch a phone that won't be successful out the door, despite the fact that the Play doesn't even use the PSN network.

Hmmmm that's weird. I know a Rogers phone wont work for Verizon because Verizon is only cdma and what ever the 4g network is. And the only play phones out now only support GSM. Bell must support both cdma and GSM. That's my guess.

Got a free G3!!

So I got an email about how LG was giving away free G3's at ATT/Verizon stores and I was looking to buy a G3 all summer, so this was a miracle for me! I got 2 free and it's AMAZING so far! I feel really lucky.
So was there a code or something? I was on the Verizon announcement list and didn't get anything.
Wait, so you just walked in and they gave you 2 free LG G3's. Excuse me if I'm having a hard time believing that you are telling the truth here...

The last time I visited with the store manager (2 weeks ago), he asked me if I knew when the G3 was coming out.

If interested, I am selling it for $550 on my local CR.

This might be why you can’t find a Nexus 6 in the Google Play Store right now

http://bgr.com/2014/10/30/nexus-6-sold-out-in-google-play-store/
The publication says the Nexus 6 is “huge” for Google’s future in the smartphone company, and the phone is intended to be sold mainly through carriers, rather than on Google Play.

Another great flagship phone that next to no one can buy...instead of by design due to a moronic invite system...this time due to a moronic inventory choice.

How is it moronic if numbers say most will buy through a carrier. Seems like a simple choice to me.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
It could be that there is an official agreement to allow carriers to sell most of the devices. Of course, if that were the case they never should have offered a Play Store pre-sale in the first place.
Just seems like a typical BGR article. They're a rag of a site that makes up news

When Google has a golden opportunity to sell a device that most carriers haven't even listed on their sites yet or formally announced plans to carry, and make money...it is moronic.

Its not moronic if that was the condition carriers wanted if they were to carrier the product. I'm pretty sure the men making these decisions know more than the all of us here. Not to mention they have access to numbers and info we don't to make such a decision.

tmobile nexus 4 and 5 was the same one from the play store nothing different. it still got the updates from Google. no bloat at all unless Google put it on there. I can't speak about the others. I am buying mine on the 12th from the tmo store and I am sure it will be the same one Google sends out.

This is one of two things I was worried about if I have to pick it up from T-Mo:
- 1) I just want to make sure the updates come from Google and not the carrier (T-Mo in this case). Especially since I will be paying all upfront for it since I am prepaid and don't want to sign up for a post paid plan. There's no sense in me having to wait for an update if I'm not tied to any sort of plan or carrier.
- 2) I would very much rather purchase directly from the Play Store if only for the GREAT 1-year hassle-free warranty coverage they have. I had to do a warranty exchange a few weeks ago on my N5, and whole procedure was absolutely painless. I had my replacement device in-hand the very next day.
So, as much as I would prefer to buy it from the Play Store, if the speculation that the majority of sales will be taking place through the carriers and the supply on the Play Store will be scarce, I would just want the T-Mo phone to be EXACTLY like the one they sell in the Play Store, with no carrier meddling/bloatware.
Google news for us in the uk then as long as there is a decent amount of stock as no carriers have listed it as exclusive to either O2, ee, Vodafone or three afaik

1.) Same freaking phone no doubt about it. Its been said a billion times. Updates from google Tmobile bloat
2.) You get next day shipping with Tmobile if you have their insurance plan which I recommend as it extends it past the 1 year google offers.

Indeed it does say that now. Didn't see that earlier when I checked.
Let's see if they have more than 10 for sale this time around.
Just going to hope I can score one some Wednesday coming up, and hope even more that it will work on Verizon.. Guess all I can do?! Good luck to all of us, we will need it!
Any idea what time it will happen. I'm in the Bahamas and have my friend trying to get it for me but I relay on pushbullet and they are not reliable.
So the no Verizon listing is frightening... does this mean that Verizon might have dropped the phone altogether? Or can we expect another 1 or 2 month (typical Verizon) delay? I was suspecting they might delay it because they are pushing the Turbo hardcore right now and want the Turbo to be the go-to phone during the holidays. Or (I'm hoping this isn't the case), Verizon figures the Moto X and the Droid Turbo will fill the needs of anyone wanting a stock android Motorola phone and don't want to have yet another Motorola phone.

Really hope they are available at midnight. Want a 64 GB white and now that I know T-Mobile is only gonna have the blue google play is my option.

verizon still missing on google play

im starting to get nervous as verizon is still not listed on google play ordering page... thats extremely scary knowing how verizon works.... yes ive seen the videos where they got some of the demos devices working by inserting a verizon sim card, but that doesnt make me feel any better
It works on Verizon out of the box. It's already been confirmed.
ive talked to a couple different reps on Verizon. made it very clear to them if Verizon decides not to carry this device in stores (subsidized contract) i will not stay with Verizon any longer. i will move to tmobile. they told me they would be getting device and confirmed the nexus 6 will work on Verizon, but no specific dates. IM SO IRRITATED with how companies handle these matters... Google has announced the phone, WHY KEEP SECRETS!?

Agreed, they spent way too much money on those James franco turbo commercials to release 2 top tier phones so close to eachother.
Droid Turbo now, Note 4 Edge on the 14th......we will be lucky to see a VZW N6 announcement in November, more likely just before Xmas
Announcing it now would dilute sales of those other devices. They are a business. The other carriers have one less flagship phone to spread sales across because the Turbo was a VZW exclusive.
Why not buy from Motorola when they release it?
So is anyone on Verizon gonna risk and order it if they get lucky enough to catch it on the play store? My problem is they r keeping Verizon off of the play store for a reason and I can't understand why other then that version isn't gonna work after all. I want to order it but just wondering if anyone else is gonna risk it.
i talked to a verizon rep and asked if they are gonna even be making an announcement of late nov early dec something atleast!? he said as of now no information can be said or none is available, i told him thats fine i guess but i only got 1 month left on my contract and was gonna get phone outright anyway so i would jump from verizon to att if i just get my phone before hand. He said no need for that the phone will be on vzw soon lol .....but no damn date or even month ballpark

Has it been confirmed that Motorola will be selling it? Sure they have the device on their site but that doesn't mean you can buy it from them. They have droid phones listed on their site as well but when you try to buy you're directed to VZW sales page. I hope that when you try to buy from Motorola it doesn't direct you to the Google play store.

I cant find anywhere that they will. I think because the turbo is a Verizon exclusive it takes you there. The rest of the phones that are multi carrier all can be bought on their site
Just got off the phone with Google
Just got off the phone with Google due to my nasty email sent to them. Some rep called me apologize for the crappy pre-order that took place last week blah blah blah... Anyway she stated that they were informed today that Google has received a much larger stock of phones and pre-orders will take place tomorrow and last longer than 5 minutes. She also confirmed that Verizon is supported when purchasing a nexus 6 google play edition.
Only their own moto phones can be purchased from them. X,G & E. Technically the Nexus 6 is Google's phone. Then again HTC sells the N9 on their site. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Just got off the phone with Google due to my nasty email sent to them. Some rep called me apologize for the crappy pre-order that took place last week blah blah blah... Anyway she stated that they were informed today that Google has received a much larger stock of phones and pre-orders will take place tomorrow and last longer than 5 minutes. She also confirmed that Verizon is supported when purchasing a nexus 6 google play edition.

I asked the google rep that exact question and she responded "I don't know the exact time, but expect it to be early"

I cant find anywhere that they will. I think because the turbo is a Verizon exclusive it takes you there. The rest of the phones that are multi carrier all can be bought on their site

Motorola confirmed on the day of the announcement that it would be sold on motorola.com.

Has it been confirmed that Motorola will be selling it? Sure they have the device on their site but that doesn't mean you can buy it from them. They have droid phones listed on their site as well but when you try to buy you're directed to VZW sales page. I hope that when you try to buy from Motorola it doesn't direct you to the Google play store.
I would like to use my moto credit for the N6

I'm probably also going to go the moto credit route. At the bottom of the blog post it says:
"Nexus 6 will be available for pre-order through the Google Play Store in late October starting at $649. There are two colors to choose from - Midnight Blue or Cloud White - and two memory options - 32GB and 64GB. Nexus 6 will also be available on*motorola.com*and through carrier partners starting in November. You’ll hear from our carrier partners soon with additional pricing and availability information. In all, Nexus 6 will come to 28 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America starting later this year and as we head into Q1."
