Paid Apps now available in many countries. OFFICIALLY

Today I read a post on android police that android market is now available officially in many countries. My Country happens to be one of them.
It says no action required on user. Does this mean I can say goodbye to MarketEnabler???

India is on the list over people who can buy, but not in the list over who can develop.

Danish medias report that it should be up and running with-in two weeks time so I´m crossing my fingers for that.

Good job google... Better late than never...

Oh, hopefully that is true because when I tried without market enabler it still didn't show me the paid apps.

Wow, not only are they available in your country but seems the price now also reflects your currency. Don't have to do the conversation..
Iam still keeping my market enabler application becuase this doesn't show apps which are restricted at country

yes!
I was amazed to find that the apps in the market are in Philippine peso...
great move by samsung.

Great for all the people who have missed out.
Now they have to get PayPal implemented like they said they would a month or so back.
Don't like using my CC

Awesome! Paid apps have arrived in India! :-D

Using US nexus 7 internationally

I purchased a nexus 7 as a gift for a family member that lives overseas. Is there anything that will be affected in terms of updates and or general usage aside from the charger? I don't want to give them a headache if I can avoid it, so any info would be a big help before sending it. If there is anything I should know or do in preparation for them I would much appreciate any info, Thanks!

No.I m n Thailand
And. Been in Europe.
So far so good....

So is there no change in the software at all? I apologize I am new to anything nexus as I am mainly familiar with Samsung stuff. I know for instance the galaxy note 10.1 has ics in usa officially and Germany already has Jellybean. are updates like that likely to be the same?
Thank you for the reply!

As far as I know,
I'm going to Asia next few months ( in this case, we use Asia for example) and I called Google regarding my concerns. What I know is that the
GPS and navigation will definitely work.
The play store seem like only the app will work, Movie/music/TVshow/ magazine will not work if I did not remember anything wrong.
Android updates for the Nexus 7 will be continued I think. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

Correct.I have no book here...

OTA updates work everywhere, the only thing that changes are the play store offerings

Awesome. Thank you all for the information, I appreciate the help.

Can anyone verify if the Wi-Fi will work on channels 12 and 13? I know some US devices don't like my Sony Xperia.

Sprint version: Who's getting it, or gotten it?

How much bloat does it have, etc

I was, but given the resent news of a Nexus 5 with Sprint LTE support I'm holding off until it gets announced. If it won't come out to Sprint the Moto X will be my next.

Where did you see tale of sprint nexus5
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I will be getting one soon in white when its available for SWAC purchase. Having an available upgrade is nearly killing me but I doubt I will have to wait much longer. I'm not sure what you guys are reading about another Nexus on Sprint but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably time it so that I'm eligible to trade it in for a Note 3 within the 14-day grace period just in case I don't like it.
Good to see a familiar name

I should get one soon hopefully. My broken screen EVO 3D finally gave up the other day, no phone ATM:crying:. Stopped by one of the local Sprint stores, they didn't have any in stock and would let me know when they'll be getting them in the store. Right now it seems they're only available online, not sure for how long though. Need to get my account balance payed down before i can upgrade though...:laugh:

Just some quick thoughts since i just got mine, all bloatware except sprint zone seems removable. Also unless it times out on me it looks like Google wallet may work. It came preloaded anyway

Would you mind grabbing a system dump for me please? Connect phone to computer with usb debugging enabled and run the following command (open a command prompt in the directory where you have adb, tell me if you don't have it and I'll link you to a quick download for it)
Code:
adb pull /system system
Then wait for that to complete and zip up + upload the folder it makes and drop a link for me...
Thanks!

Were you able to get wallet up and going? If you did then the rest of us may be able to bring it over the vzw and att. If we are able to change lines in our build prop to make it think its a sprint then install and set up wallet then revert back like we did with the s3. Might be some hope as long as the secure element is hidden somewhere.

KitKat and Google Wallet News

First, hell has frozen over and MotoX on Verizon is first to get KitKat update:

Next, it appears that google wallet now works on verizon due to the HCE (host card emulation):

So, we should theoretically get all this soon on the maxx. Yay!
Wow. Still in denial.

That is fantastic news! I have been looking forward to start using Google Wallet... just need to find retailers that accept it.

We have pharmacy, gas stations, grocery stores, target, and fast food that accept it in my area. I've only tried it at kangaroos and wal-greens but it was weird paying with the nexus7.

Surprised at the lack of action in this thread. Has Android development and modding become dormant?

No. I thought the same thing coming from a Galaxy nexus to the razr maxx hd then to the droid maxx.
You have to realize this line of phones is only on one carrier. And for me, the phone just works. (with xposed framework of course).
But I would never dismiss the idea of needing more development.

Excellent. Hope it works. I have the Maxx now but I did get Google wallet payment with NFC working on my galaxy nexus. Loved using it for vending machines at work, convenience stores, etc.
BTW the ISIS app says I can't use it because I'm rooted.

Anyone get the 4.4 OTA update yet?

It was suppose to roll out today and should be done by the next "10 days"

I thought sprint was first in line? I understand Samsung has already sent out the Ota to the carriers, but I think the carriers have to "rebloat" kit Kat as well..... I did hear that the update will start going out today also but I think sprints first in line.

Wasn't Sprints announced and rolled out a couple days before the announcement from samsung? It was only announced on the 18th that other us carriers would get it as well.
I'm hoping AT&T gets it soon

I am very certain according to news reports on tech sites and the topics started here last week that Sprint's rolled out last week. As far as I have read Samsung announced a few days ago the roll out would start soon, but no specific dates given for carriers. ATT is still Feb/March which we are coming the end of February so it could very well be soon.

Still no update on a S4 AT&T

Double check by connecting to kies. Some updates will get pushed through our phones and others are going to be valuable through kies I believe.

Well this just sucks if true. My backup app (not rooted) is RerWare's MyBackupPro. I was just informed by them that 4.2.2. no longer provides access to the SD card for 3rd party apps. If so, what good is an SD card?

Grab the update files from the thread in General and follow the directions for sideloading the update or updating via stock recovery.

Could someone please confirm or deny the assertion that 4.2.2 no longer supports SD cards for 3rd party apps. Many thanks!

That is pretty much true. Samsung devices running Android 4.4.2 don't allow third-party apps to write to the external SD card. Apps can read but can't write.
This is explained more here.
