Recently one of my friend blogged about increased time at Andorid Market. I tried it and I was all yay! because it really worked
Read more about it at http://knowmydroid.com/blog/android-market-app-refund-time-increased
still not enough for me. For example if you buy a sat nav on the market, How are you supposed to download the maps and test it works properly in 30 mins? JUst encourages people to get the pirated versions instead.
a step in the right direction! but still not enough.
I miss the 1 hour refund policy, not i dont buy as many apps as I dont wanna be stuck paying for one after it doesnt do what I need it to.
I would like a 1day return, that way I can properly test the app. some times I have brought an app that I liked, but it killed the battery over the course of a few hours so I uninstalled it, but I still had to pay for it.
I suppose if you were to test an app with a pirated version, there would be nothing stopping you from then going to the market and paying for it if it worked for you.

Wow that's generous.!
(Sarcasm mode off)
But I agree with the previous comment, it's a step in the right direction.
Ah, I remember the good old days.

We should also get a warning when you try and install an app for the second time, I can't always remember what I've tried.

I remember all horrible apps
If devs got off their arise and used market licensing, which I promise is a breeze to implement, piracy wouldn't be a concern. If its not the current concern its probably potential loss of money on Google's part and that's their only concern.

Hi
Most apps prices are relatively low so in most cases it's not a big problem that will ruin you
But 30 min. is still a very short period, and I sadly have to admit that I have bought several apps that I never use.
Worst case for me was an expensive Copilot Live Premiere EU that I seldom use
It would be nice if we had some kind of return right in case app is too buggy
at least we have 30 minutes...
others don't.
look on FAQ's on their market or whatever the name:
What is the Mac App Store refund policy?
If you experience a technical issue with an app, first contact the developer of the app for assistance. Their support contact information can be found on the app's page in the Mac App Store. If that does not resolve the issue, contact Mac App Store Customer Support.
that's crap
This post is not really a cry for help. Just throwing this out here. I've been having problems with this error message ([RPC:S-5:AEC-0]) that I'm getting from the playstore for about almost a week now. I first experienced this after I saw quite a few update notifications on my phone. When I tapped on the update button, none of the apps updated and I got this error message instead, So I googled information on how I can fix it and found out the following
1. Clear data and/or cache on the following
- Downloads
- Google Play Store
- Google Service Framework
2. Remove and re-add google account from device
3. Factory reset
None of the methods above worked for me. I even tried accessing my paid apps from my pc by going to https://play.google.com/. Unfortunately, I also got an error message when I clicked on the "My Android Apps" link. Take note that I tried doing all these with different ISPs so issue is definitely not with my internet connection as well.
I've already contacted the google play support group and I was told that this issue has been going on and unresolved since October of 2012. The google techs are stummped and don't have the slightest idea of what's causing the problem. They can't even give me a time frame of when this will be resolved. They asked me to send bug reports from my devices which I did although I know for a fact that this problem is not being caused by any of my devices.
I'm pretty much stuck with a useless smart phone and tablet since I did a factory reset on both and I'm unable to redownload all of my apps including the ones that I have purchased...
I attached a few screenshots from my N7000 and Nexus 7 and my PC as well showing the errors.
This is how google wants to solve my issue... BY RIPPING ME OFF!!!

Hi Manolo,
Thank you for contacting Google and keeping us updated on your situation while experiencing the error RPC:S-5:AEC-0. As we discussed over the phone the only option left to do regarding your current account is to wait. [B]however I was informed that you can try by passing this by creating a new account and I apologize for information that I had provided you over the phone as that was incorrect knowledge. This does appear to also be an account base problem. Please keep in mind that paid apps are non transferable.[/B]Here is the link to check out that will be keeping update on the progress of the RPC:S-5:AEC-0 error.

If you could let me know if creating a new gmail account works that knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you continue to have questions at any time.
Thanks and have a great day,

Have you changed any account settings lately on Google.
Go to play.google.com and login. From top right corner click on my order & settings and check the details.

Nope. It's a known issue that has blown up over the last few weeks.
This is the most active thread on xda I can locate, up to 10 pages and growing fast.
A thread started on Google Plus today about it as well. Happening across all devices and ROMs to a significant number of users.

Just talked to one of the google techs again today. This is really getting out of hand crazy! They have sent me numerous emails asking me to do the same thing over and over. It's like they don't even check on previous documentation that I have responded to telling them that none of the trouble shooting they told me to do worked. To top it all off, we started discussing about refunds. I was told that thier policy is they can only do the last 6 months. I have so many paid applications that I have accumulated for the last year and a half! A lot of the ones I use the most have been purchased more than 6 months ago, Then she tells me that I'd have to talk to the individual 3rd party developers and ask them for a refund. I mean, why would a developer refund me if it's not even thier fault that this issue is happening. This is all google!

In the same boat across multiple devices and very frustrated. Hopefully this is becoming a very widespread issue and will get more attention with Google's higher level techs and developers.
I was having this issue, and all the normal steps didn't help. I called Google, they were no help, other than to say it was a known issue. I tried removing my Google account, and clearing the cache/data for Google Service Framework and Play Store apps - nothing worked
Then I tried clearing the cache/data on Google Play Services, on the off chance that this might be the culprit and after a reboot everything is working great again.
Hope this will help some of the other folks who are struggling with this.
Exact Steps:
1) Open Settings->Apps
2) Select Google Play Store
3) Clear Cache and Force Stop
4) Select Google Framework Services
5) Clear Data and Force Stop
6) Select Google Play Services
7) Clear Data and Force Stop
8) Reboot
Why are you ****ting On Us Google?
On another forum, a poster had this to say about this RPC:S-5:AEC-0 problem:
I don't believe this has anything to do with what is running on the device...whether its 4.2.2 or 4.1.2. It's simply an issue with corruption in the Google Play account on Google's servers. The lack of any fix for this or a workaround is abysmal on Google's part. I have paid apps that will no longer run because Google Play no longer recognizes them as paid apps. I have wasted numerous hours trying to get this resolved with escalated calls to Google support. Basically, anyone who is affected by this account "corruption" issue is currently screwed with no fix in sight. This needs to get major media attention or possible class action status before Google gets serious and fixes this acknowledged issue they've known about for several months now.
​
That is a good summary of the issue.
Google knows all about this.
It's endemic and the worst part about it is that Google is ignoring it.
There has been one simple post by Google -- in March -- saying they were working on the problem, and then a one-line addendum in April to say that they were still working on the problem.
THIS IS NOT ONLY ABSURD, BUT UNACCEPTABLE.
I've tried every effing solution that's been posted -- and none works.
I'm sick to the back teeth about the crap that GOOGLE thinks I can take. I'm just steaming mad.
The sheer inconvenience and time-wasting is mind numbing.
Am I pissed off at Google. You betcha.
Do I scream at Google, What do you think!
How can Google sit back and do nothing about this for months. (And don't point me to the lame suggestions of a work around like: Clear the cache in the Play Store app; clear the data in the Google Services framework; delete and reinstall the offending account .... etc etc etc. I've tried every one and more. Even tried deleting the whole OS and reinstalling,; tried factory reset.
THIS IS CRAP AND GOOGLE KNOWS IT.
Setting up a new gmail account is not practicable as the Google user base has a huge investment in their Play Store account by way of the money they've paid to Google for apps which Google is fraudulently now stopping them from using.
The problem appears to be tied to the link between the kernel and the play store account. If a user starts a whole new account, then there is no problem for that new account. However, for Android's database of users, this is not a practicable solution as that base of users has an investment in their Play Store account -- not the least of which is in the value of the apps that they have paid for to date.
MY QUESTION IS: WHY ARE YOU ****TING ON US - YOUR LOYAL USERS - GOOGLE?
Another question: How do we escalate this into main stream media so that Google has to get off their fat arse and fix the proble? Any ideas would be helpful.
Looks like google finally fixed the issue. My apps finally started updating today with no errors.

This is NOT a time to pat Google on the back
Last night, shortly after posting my rant on this forum, I went to the app store to see if I could get some sense out of the bloody thing. Lo and Behold! It was all go!!!!
Now while I like to think -- in my hedonostoc idle moments -- that it was my posting on this forum that did the trick, reality tells me that Google had been working on this for some time and that the fix was in place coincidentally at approximately 10pm NZ time yesterday (12th June 2013).
Why am I being so pedantic about the time.
Simple.
Google, quite clearly, must have been working on this for some time in order for the fix to be put in place at that precise moment. The problem with this conduct though, is that they did NOT at any time inform its constituency that it had even acknowledged that there was this effing problem in the first place. A lot of good people have been mystified, frustrated, angry, confused and suspicious by this smorgasbord of crap that Google has dished up and even felt that they had no option but to eat the **** sandwich presented to them.
SO, if Google thinks that this lowly serf is going to thank them for getting rid of the RPC:S-5:AEC-0 bug, then they need to take their heads out of the arses and smell the real world, 'cos it aint going to happen.
At the very least I would expect Google to make some gesture to its user base to placate them after the harrowing ordeal that their incompetence has put them through.
Enough said.
Unless or until this rears its ugly head again.

Hey guys, im having an issue with admob interstitial ad.
When I exit the ad it takes 1-2 seconds to go back to the app. Usually in other apps or games, it goes straight to the app upon pressing X or pressing Back.
Any reason why there is a delay and any fix to it?

Check your onAdClosed method in the class implementing AdListener. Are you doing something CPU intensive there? If you post a bit more code, we might be able to help.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
At the start of the battle the full screen ad is loaded but not shown. Once the player dies, the full screen ad pops up fast which is good but takes 1-2 seconds to get back to the app once its closed.
Here is the full code, that's all really.
void Start(){
AdMobAndroid.requestInterstital( "ca-app-pub-*********************" );
}
public void OnGameOver(){
if(AdMobAndroid.isInterstitalReady()){
AdMobAndroid.displayInterstital();
}

The code you posted only shows how you are loading the Ad and showing it. Are you doing anything when closing it? May be you are switching scene right after the Ad is closed, and its taking time to load the objects in memory.
I will cede ground to someone more experienced in Unity 3d though. I have just begun getting my feet wet in it.

I am not doing anything to close it. Seems like AdMob does that on its own.
Not sure if Unity has a function for onAdClosed().

Hey I also use prime31 plugin for admob but I have no issues like this. try to update your prime31 plugin. It is certainly not a problem from prime31 or admob. if you can post your code here I can help.
don't depend on Admob
I got the same problem too but everything is normal 2 days afterwards (strange though). But the incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".
So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:
Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.
Cons:
- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)
- Its ban users more frequently. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was very difficult for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).
after combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, variousa ads format, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!
I need to choose some good network to monetize my app, and i want to try Chartboost. Do you have any experience with it? Does it pays well, on time and without hassle? And of course what eCPM do you have with it... Waiting for yours recomendation.
Last time i used ADmob, but soon i was banned there and wanna find alternative...

Hey Andrew
Did Admob give you a reason why you were banned ? Most ad networks (I work for one) have similar content guidelines and policies. There is a chance that if Admob banned you for some content violation, other ad networks also might do so.
Chartboost quite good for Interstitial, always pay on time. Ecpm is very high at the beginning but it will down later.
Chartboost always my first choice for ads networks, reasons:
- easy to integrate, they have complete plugins for all platform, we don't need third party plugins
- I like the dashboard, many information we can drill down
- from eCPM perspective...sometime good ($10)...sometime bad ($0:crying....mostly average ($0.8 - $1.5), but i think this happen to all ads networks, sometime they got big client with big budget and the other day they got client with tight budget, that's life...:angel:
I would reccommend Chartboost, super easy to implement also
Chartboost problems!
Hi guys...seems that chartboost have a lag today or something else, but i have a little bit problem with it...It just shows the similar intersitial ads in my game every time. I try to make 10-15 impressions and all time i see only "Game of War". Then i just reboot my game, and see, what do you think? "Game of War" of course 10 times in a row. Then i wait a hour. And try one more: i seen an 25 impressions with game "Solitaire". It's a little bit strange, coz yestarday it deliver every new impression with new game ads. Today it always the same. Did somebody have a problem like this?
Maybe i will create a thread in this section, to generate more useful answers.

Hey, I think I have come acrossed the same questions before. my publisher manager said that, that is because there is only on ads in your country, so the ad will be only show one game.

Have heard nothing but good things about them.
However, there are many other options out there that may be better for your geos/genre, a list of which you can find here: Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA front with data on average CPIs + Install rates by genre/platform/country, but should give you a good sense of their eCPMs to see which others you can throw in the mix.

Yea that'll work unless it was made by Facebook..
They want their hands in everything you own..
I remember after I got rid of my original account I was playing a game on Android and I'd progressed wow far, so I wanted to save me progress, but the game only allowed FB syncing.
So against my better judgement I created a new account.
Fake name was simply called "Gamehead dlads"
Then verified with a fake DOB, fake email, fake everything.
There was nothing at all in any of the details I provided, I did not allow access to my contact list or phone, or location, I did not talk to anyone, didn't give it anything.
Within 1 day, I was being shown people I know from all over Britain, my family, my wife, mother, friends from school, ex GF's, everybody.
How? I'd be extremely careful not to link any information, the email was fake, name was fake, all permissions denied, it kept asking but I always said no.
If I've denied the app absolutely everything? How did it do that if it wasn't being deceitful? Supposedly that's Impossible if our permissions are to be believed,
Facebook isn't an app that plays ball, it's an app which is paid for handsomely and the price you pay is your identity.
I'll never get FB again, it's just wrong.

Yep, you're absolutely right and that's why I'm going to delete it very soon. They know everything about us, Facebook even knows what you talk, if you talk about something near the phone, there's a big chance that you see advertisements on Facebook related to the subject you talked about.

Lol it's funny you should say that.
I was playing a game (silly one where you upgrade this over time, no idea why I was)
Anyway, the game shows progression faster if you watch an ad so I did, anyway one day I was on the couch after work watching a movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, extremely distinct music, anyway after a while the adverts I was watching quickly began to only show the pirates of the Caribbean game.
I put that instance down to coincidence but this has happened several times..
I've written to Google but obviously they aren't going to respond, why would they? The best answer for them is no answer at all.
Meanwhile we remain the product.

Anyway, the game shows progression faster if you watch an ad so I did, anyway one day I was on the couch after work watching a movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, extremely distinct music, anyway after a while the adverts I was watching quickly began to only show the pirates of the Caribbean game, my phone was in clear earshot of the movie.
I put that instance down to coincidence but this has happened several times with products appearing on my Google feed.
I've written to Google but obviously they aren't going to respond, why would they? The best answer for them is no answer at all.
Meanwhile we remain the product.
Strangely enough I've been getting wake locks from Google play services, just working on fixing them now.

Indeed, that's what exactly happens all the time.
The problem is that I rely on Facebook sometimes, I think I'll try to keep WhatsApp only haha

I use Twitter although it's just for when something is going on or I want to moan at a company for something.
One nice account one bad.
