nope, i check it for the free app every morning. Did you load it with a fresh download APK or from one that already had? I have had issues in the past where it was buggy or just woulding work right when I installed from a previously downloaded version on my SD card. Have amazon send you the link to your phone for a fresh DL if you havnt already yanked and reinstalled.

I have installed it fresh. Is there a limit to the number of devices that can be linked to one account?

ok, problem solved! I had never unregistered any of my previous devices, and every custom rom I ever installed on any device counted as a new device. Max devices appears to be around 20.

No i dont think there is a limit on the number of devices you can use.

Thanks for the tip. I had 9 devices registered even though I only have 2. All of the others were the various ROMs I had installed on my previously sold Infuse.

Interesting, where did you find this feature? I'm sure I'm teetering on the edge with all my flashing.

It seems the only way to get around the small font in apps like this is to change the dpi meetings of your phone which will require rooting.

select and deregister. dont worry about deregistering the wrong one, if you do it'll just make you enter UN/PW on your device next time you open amazon app store.

I'm glad this post helped. It was driving me nuts!!!

[Q] Amazon AppStore Issue

Yes i verified my creds were correct. Anyone else having this issue? Suggestions, Thoughts.

I've had this issue on my last device. Whenever you flash a new rom and sign into amazon it register's it as a new device. There is a limit to how many devices you can have registered on amazon. You need to go into your amazon account on the computer and clear out some of the devices registered and it will work.
thanks that was it.

Couldn't complete download, stop or uninstall Amazon app. Phone woulnt even do a factory reset from h-boot. Took it to the store and they replaced unit as they couldn't fix either. Totally weird, but at least I got a replacement

App compatibility

What's with my market saying everything is not compatible with my phone? For example, todays 10 cent app list only shows 4 apps. If I go to them on my computers browser it shows them all but it says they are not compatible with my device. I know they are compatible because I can aquire them by other means and they work just fine. It has to be a bug or something. Its really pissing me of too because here I am wanting to pay for an app and it won't even let me. This forces me to get the app elsewhere. Anyone know of a fix or having this same problem?

Can't purchase apps from play store, free apps work fine

I can't purchase any apps, it never authorizes the payment. I've tried removing the current credit card and adding a new one, but that didn't work.
Just got off the phone with Google and they can't figure it out.
If I use my old gmail account, the purchase goes through instantly.
Using shostock2 at the moment, but I've used different roms and it doesn't make a difference.
Anyone have any idea, this is really frustrating me.
Check that you don't have any expired credit cards in your google wallet. AoN

I've cleared everything multiple times and can't get it to work.
I have 2 google accounts, and if I switch to the 2nd one a purchase will go through instantly. If I switch back, it fails.
Waiting to here back from google and hopefully they can fix it.

Good luck with this - sure seems like you've done everything on your end to fix it. Have to admit I'm curious why you have two accounts with the same credit card. Why not just consistently use the one that works?

Lost/Stolen Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6

Hello i recently lost my Galaxy Player in my school May 17th, 2013 and i had no way to find its location. Until May 19, 2013 I installed the app by Lookout called "Plan B" it was installed on my Device threw a WIFI connection. Since the player is not a Phone i kinda use it like a Phone threw Google Voice and Groove IP lite. Since its installed, It didn't send me an Email on its location. I used a friends phone to send "Locate" SMS. Is it because its a MP3 player instead of a phone?
Is it possible to retrieve the device?
Unless someone turns on the device(somehow gets past security if you have it) connects to wifi then you are screwed. Of course I am sure if someone found it they have restored the device by now . Can you not ask if someone turned a lost mp3 player or something? Sorry to hear what happened man.

It didn't have a passcode and he/she didn't reset it to factory settings. How do i know i can install a app onto the device when the thief connects to a wifi network. should i give my Serial number to my local police and possibly the Pawnshop?

I'm not sure if this helps but you can login to Google play on your computer with the account on the device and when you install an app from the computer it automatically installs it on the device when it's connected to the internet.

daughter lost her Samsung Galaxy player 5.0 at school
Hi,
my daughter had her device possibly stolen at school today.
It was on and she does have a pin set up to use it. It was charged and she thinks it should last till tomorrow.
Her school does have wifi.
is there anything she can do to try to locate it?
We also have the box it came in with the serial code and receipt. Thinking about turning it in to police...
Thanks,

sorry to say but if someone stole it, it is most likely not at the school anymore.
the only options that are most likely not going to lead to anything are
1. latitude is activated and it has updated her location recently
2. you have a lost phone app installed and set up. installing it via google play will do nothing at all.
if nothing like that is good. i would say the serial # to police is probably your best option at this point only because if the person who stole it knows what they are doing, they could have easily factory reset it already.
sorry and i hope you find it :fingers-crossed:
Wow. That is terrible to both that lost galaxy players. Theres not much that can be done. there's an avast security app that localizes lost phones. I am now thinking of installing it just in case after hearing of this.

Office 365 mobile

Can someone do me a favour and try downloading office 365 mobile from playstore? It's free. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub
My device is listed as not being compatible, am in support threads with Microsoft and Google to determine why, want to know if it's just me or a c6833 issue. If you don't see it in a search that means your not compatible.
Thanks in advance peeps.

I got an email saying they have signed for it, so maybe another 7-10 days??

Hi SpyderTracks,
Same issue here when I had my Z Ultra. It says app is not compatible. I think this is due to the fact that it is identified more as a tablet than a phone. When I first was playing with the floor model, I noticed that the "Settings" menus look more like Android tablet style than the phone version. I've noticed that on my Galaxy Note 2, the settings menu is black versus white/gray on my Galaxy Note 10.1. I can't say if this is for certain all Android but it seems that way looking at other phones vs. tablets. Another app I was looking at was "mysms" and it shows main app as incompatible. Other apps it shows both the phone version and tablet version as compatible.
I've searched Google and run across a trick where you modify one or two elements the "build.prop" file to make Google App store identify your phone as a different phone (like a Samsung S3). I haven't tried this myself though I plan on doing it sometime in the future possibly.
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate. I'm in contact with Microsoft on this and they say the XZU should be compatible, they're blaming Google play store for the issue, but Google say the app compatibility is specified in the code of the app and they have no control over it. I've done a quick search and found some code snippets which back this up, so I think I'll escalate the issue with Microsoft.
Would still appreciate some more testers with C6802, C6806 to try? Will give me extra weight with Microsoft if I can point them to this thread.

I have a C6802 and it also says that "This app is incompatible with your device."
Google for office mobile 365 apk, install it manually, it works fine and great on z ultra big screen. I already tested it. I have not rooted my ultra but on wanam exposed module there is an option to trick the play store so that it shows all app.

Hi all
Thanks to those of you that helped out. Microsoft have admitted the issue and are looking into their specifications for compatibility within the app. As it's a coding issue, it'll need an update so may take a bit of time, but it's great they're looking into it.
If you want to keep up with updates on this, the thread is here
