Apparently NEW installs of Swiftkey 3 from the Amazon App Store aren't installing correctly. Installs from Play store are fine.
I know a lot of people use Swiftkey and I ran into this problem earlier.
From Swiftkey forums.
Hi – we are in contact with Amazon and trying to resolve this. We have temporarily removed SwiftKey from sale on the Amazon Appstore until the issue is resolved.
The issue is specific to Amazon, no other app stores are affected.

I tried both the other day and found the same thing the store would work but Amazon not. Not sure when it will be back but its removed from Amazon for now I guess.
I wonder if it would fix things if we posted the apk from amazon when it worked. Not sure if it would be against the rules. It would still have the license check with amazon.

An easy fix that I used was downloading the free trial from Google Play. It works for 30 days. If they don't have it fixed by then, that's pretty sad.

I did the same, downloading the trial.... Winder if any features are held back from the trial, none that I can tell.
Could someone post the working apk? it shouldn't be against the rules because it does have the license check with amazon.

so I'm obviously going to be going from the evo 4g to the evo 3D which I cannot wait. Anyways out of curiousity because I have apps such as beautiful widgets I paid for and would like to use on the 3D as well if it is compatible. I guess my question would be is there any way to transfer my purchased items and maybe some apps to the 3D when I get it so I can avoid paying for them again? Any input will be much appreciated. Feel free to elaborate if needed
thanks!
All your app purchases are tied to your gmail account, so make sure you use the same gmail account.
Yup, what he said.

The only apps you will have to pay for, and download, a second time, are the ones you bought OUTSIDE of Android Market. All others are tied to your IMEI number, and therefore, when you change phones, the license for those downloads expire. (EA's HD games come to mind!)

Amazon market should be good to go, I would think. They're tied to your Amazon account. I hope so, anyway, as I've been stockpiling the free apps.

Yes Amazon apps work on multiple devices. I have it setup on my tablet and my phone. Any market apps, just go to the "My apps" section of the market and it will show up as "purchased". Just download again and install for free.
sweet. bought all my apps from the market. I should be ok then.
thanks everyone!

Get titanium backup and back them up.
if you paid for apps outside of the market just contact them and they will most likely relink them to your new device.
i mean seriously are they really going to deny you if you device was destroyed or replaced because of a defect, you paid for them and as long as they are compatible they should allow you to re download them

need I say more??
Except n64oid
Sent from my EVO 3D
As he updates them, they'll probably go pay (for instance, when he updated n64oid last week, it went from free to $3.99US).
Originally, they were only supposed to be free for two weeks, but they've been free for a while now.
If you download now, when they go pay, you'll have to purchase to update through slideme, but if you don't already own them, they're worth the price of admission.

If you are serious about getting SPB the cheapest place I have found to get it is off Handster. If you pay using your mobile (it just puts the charge on your phone bill) it is only $9.99. Unfortunately you won't get alerted to updates but it is pretty easy to go and get the newest version when it comes out.

Just curious. If you pull the apk from your phone, can you install it on another one? Or does it check the day it was installed to verify you got it for free? I am just wondering what would happen if you wiped your phone and then tried to reinstall it??
The app gets associated to your account and then will be available from your Amazon Appstore account all the time.
It was uber gay, it wouldn't let me download it. Kept giving me an error. I have 174 free apps and probably have 4 of them installed. There is an appstore reminder app that reminds me every morning @ 730 to download the app of the day. I love it.

I purchased a few of their $.49 and $.25 items today....When I reviewed my "pending" credit card statement a Dollar was added to each one. I'm not sure if that's a bank issue, or a Google issue.....
Talking to Google support, that $1 will be refunded when the "pending" is actually matched with the invoice. You will either get a refund, or it won't even show up on the final credit card statement.

Icon sucks eggs!
The icon for the store is also horrible! It ruins the aesthetics of my tablet home screen!!!
Updated now too, looks the same.

That is normal. The one dollar is not the actual charge just a card authorization. Lots of online places use the same method.
Google Play was pushed to my prime yesterday.

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, they will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Just called BB.
They said the phone would have had to been purchased within 30 days.
Anyone know if you can redeem this at another best buy location? I'm now 6 hours away from home at school.

Should be able to do this at any Bestbuy with the mobile section. Just bring your receipt.
Thanks, bleached. I will have to double check, though pretty sure I will be eligible.

Also print it out and/or be ready to pull up that screen for them on your phone or on their computer. Sometimes they don't know what promotions they are running on their website.
Thanks for the heads up. Just printed out the link for backup and will take it up there tomorrow since I bought mine 12/9/12. Just in time.

Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:

Yeah, I just went in to the store.
It is an online promotion but they will match the deal in store.
I just got my pair.
Typical BB, I probably talked to a person that knew what they were doing at the store. I chatted with BB online and was told to go to the store, return my phone, and when I repurchase the phone, I get the headset. What? I think that person made that up as we were chatting.

I'd try at another BB. I got my headset at the store one night and did not know of the free headset promotion. I read about it online and went back the next day and brought up that screen on their computer to show them and received the headset for free.
If the employee at the store told you that it's an online promotion, that is BS. They probably don't know what they are doing or are too lazy to do it. Ask to speak to a manager. If all else fails, try another BB. Good luck.
This sucks for me. I'm over 30 days but, I did order online and was considering getting the tones.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Just got mine, too. Had to get the store manager involved but polite persistence paid off. 2 things- as stated must be within last 30 days and store must have one in stock. You can check availability at BB website.
Yea I will give it another shot at a different store tomorrow. It will be 30 days then. The store I tried today was the closest one that had it in stock.

Noticed you are in Dallas... that is where I got mine... (Midway @ LBJ) it is the only store I am aware of ( in D-FW) that has any left. As I left, there were 8 more, White box in Cell phone area. Good luck. !!
I just picked up my new LGOG this afternoon armed with the knowledge that the advertisement for the LG Tone headphones is still on the Best Buy site. The employees couldn't find it anywhere on their books or searching the site themselves. After several minutes of them searching, I hopped on one of the laptops on display and Googled "Best Buy free bluetooth headphones optimus" and it came up as the first link. The guys saw it and honored it. At least at this store (Winston-Salem), they seemed fine with it, as long as it was somewhat legitimate. My guess is that there was just one page that didn't get cleared from the BestBuy.com site from when the promotion was going on. But, it's their mistake and they should honor it. I suspect they will catch on sooner or later and remove it. I also suspect that they don't sell many of these, so it might take some time before they bother.
Apparently, I'm the first one to buy the LGOG that either of the employees recalled. They didn't even know that the Rocketfish cases they had labeled for the AT&T version were actually for the Sprint (they were shocked that they were even different sizes).
Confirmed took my phone to bb they exchanged it and threw in the headset and a penny back. Took a lil sarcasm but eventually they went ahead and matched their own online promotion
