Have you stopped using Google Market for Amazon App Store?

I was wondering how many of you have decided to ditch the marketplace in favor of the Amazon App Store?
After using it, I have highly considered this option and may do so. To me, it is MUCH better than the marketplace and seems more user friendly.
Anyone jump ship yet?

Using both ATM.

Agreed
Google still = main
Amazon = only good for free paid app

Amazon is also good for getting adfree apps, like angry birds (legitimately, I bought it for a buck).
However, I agree with the above, mainly because Amazon can't detect which apps are installed and which need updating.

Yeah, I never sold it. The sale fell through. I'm going to get the EVO 3D and give my mom my Epic. So it'll still be in the family.

Free paid apps.
I myself have actually used it for that. When I see an app that is normally $2
or so and it's free, i'll grab it. However, I have seen a few free apps that seem to only have a 1 star rating, so who knows.
I hope they don't start off with some great apps then go downhill and offer nothing we want.
You never know, this app may take over the market. Very well possible as Amazon has been in the marketplace business longer than Google. I guess only time will tell.

Don't use it or like it

How do you get this app store? Can you virw and download from your phone?

this is what i'm doing too.

I primarily use google market, the amazon one is good for free paid stuff, I have another market that I use as well to test drive stuff (don't think i can mention it here though)
still though, no matter how many markets we have/use it's STILL way better than the iTunes lockdown LOL

Only problem with Amazon is the apps only work if the Amazon market is installed.

Yay whosdaman is still with us for now
Too bad your sale didnt go as planned

I am using it to get their free apps, but I don't think it is as fast. I still use appbrain.com on my computer to browse through apps and load them later. I only go to the google apps store when I know what I am looking for or I need to do it on the fly.
My money was on Google and Amazon finally getting together and doing the app store up right with music and everything, but it looks like that is not going to happen with Google releasing their music store soon and Amazon having just released their app store. I ramble.
Epic with Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.1. I tried the rest and now on to the best.

Well it makes sense for amazon to lock down their apps. Sure everyone hates the idea, but understand their point of view on that. I mean you can't even remove the google market without root lol. So why don't you complain about that?

I have like 3 accounts for box. The first I got was from a company. One of the employees gave me a share. The other two were from the iphone promotion. Now this Haha. You say it's Pointless

Nice find, gonna get this.

The down side is the size limit/upload per day/no desktop sync without buying the enterprise app.
But 50gb is 50gb!

[Q] Difference between XDA Free Version and Paid

I'm on XDA a lot and I've considered getting the paid version of XDA for my phone. Whats the difference between the two? Is it worth buying? I see reviews that go both ways.

Get it. It gives u more options. I have no problem with the paid version.

Donation. That's the difference
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yes. Donate to xda. Also, I musta thanked 25 people today lol. I thought it was limited, but maybe not. Oh yeah, premium has the thank feature and the multi quote feature (not sure if free has that). Still, BUY IT, it's good for us/xda. You know xda buys devs phones? You think they print the money themselves?

I've always had lots of issues with the xda app, so I went straight to the source and bought the tapatalk app. Its a much better experience.

I'm pretty sure the free version can do both of those. The free version has bothersome ads, but I'd say most people are using AdFree so they don't have to deal with them anyways.

Used Phones for Sale?

I don't know if this is the right place for this or if it's even allowed because the marketplace shut down. I'm in the market for a used phone (T-Mobile USA compatible) to replace my Galaxy Nexus. It seems my only options are eBay, Craigslist and Swappa. Just wondering if anyone can recommend any other websites.

Hmmm maybe this isn't the place for requesting or selling phones. But perhaps a thread dedicated to deal sites would be a good idea. I too have been looking for a cheap ($20) phone to use with Google voice as a home phone. It would be nice if I knew what sites to check for used or discount phones.
Plus more people checking other sites means more people informing us of deals.
If a moderator comes to close this thread, please consider making a sticky that can list deal websites

After realizing that developing for this device is useless, I am selling my (used) NST for $25 on EBAY. More details coming soon. (Tuesday night hopefully)

Was this Nook bought in UK or US?
Do you plan to ship worldwide (EU) ?

Hello,
First of all I want to really say you Thanks for your work trying to port CM7 to our Nook Touchs...
I and more people like me appreciate very much your work, and we know the useful of be able to update it to Android 2.3
Every day more, developers cut support and compatibility for older Android versions...
I known it's only a BW tablet, but in its area is still the best, only missing compatibility with newer apps is the flaw.
So in name of mine and many people like me on this and other forum I say to you: Please don't give up!
At the moment you seems the only with the knowledge that can reach it.
I will also be pleased also to make a symbolic offer of the 25$ if instead of sell your nook, you can just make some more try on it.
You are our only hope
Thank you much.

You have inspired me. I will not sell this device. (US)
