Spotyify US proxy (for use in UK, no premium) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering firstly if it is legal and possible to use a proxy to access the US Spotify as free accounts are ad supported there (I believe) and as much as I love their service I do not wish to purchase a premium account. I do not use an ad block on my phone as I like to support developers and I know they receive funding from said ads.
Secondly, if it is legal and possible how would I go about doing this?

can you access MSN messenger through WAP?

hey
i was just wondering, can you access MSN messenger through WAP?
thanks very much for your help

That's an easy one - Yes
How? very interested. As I am on Cinglar in the US and they subscribe to neither of the services, provided by Microsoft to Verizon(only) or AIM to various service providers.
How do you access these services via WAP? or what would be even better is how do you access these services via SMS if your service provider has not licensed the SMS/WAP IM Client for their network?
Please let me know this would be very 8)
Prophetor: click some of these, and you'll be happy:

On a more general note, and definitely not just for Prophetor:
Asketh not a forum what thou can asketh Google.
hhhmmm using MSN messenger though SMS would mean it would have to send sms in a seroius way one ever so often to tell your status
and one to you to tell you the status of everybody else
not sure but here a SMS is pretty expensive compared to GPRS if you count bandwidth and time used on the system

Register Google Merchant Account from supported country for other developers, get %s

Hi, I am interested have anyone tried such deals? Is there any experienced users/developers?
The point is, that I can't register merchant account from my country and it means that I can't sell anything in google play. PayPal can't receive money in my country also. So I am currently using admob in my application which gives me less than 1$ for month
Many users writed in their reviews, that they want to donate money and support me, but there is no easy ways for that. For example many developers using strategy of selling "donated" apps on google play. So I think, that someone can register merchant account in supported country with his address and credit card, then attach it to my developer account. If there will be some money, then for example 10% of revenue will keep that user, and 90% will send to me via bank transfer for example.
Is there any experience related to this?
And have anyone tried to attach other user's merchant account to his own developer account?
Also we can create some community for this with users/developers from supported countries and developers from unsupported countries.
Interesting. I'm sure this would work if you could find the right person to work with. Though, have you tried using a proxy to create a developer account? (So, that Google servers would think you were in a different country).
You say PayPal can't receive money in your country, but I believe AdMob can deposit funds directly to a bank account (this is how I have it set up). Or, there are many other ad networks out there with possibly even more payment options.
I have a few developer accounts for when I was working at different places. And, as an experiment, I was able to create one of them with a Visa gift card to pay the $25 fee. The merchant account is still tied to the developer account via the email address used, but in the merchant account settings it is possible to add account access and change bank information.
Well, I think Payscout.com is the best alternative payment gateway for your business. They offer free account setup services to merchant.

[Q] Help! Canadian trying to sign up for Google Music in the US.

Hi,
I'm a Canadian in the US for the next few days and would like to sign up for the Google Play Music service. However, despite logging into my account from a US IP address, I still get the error message that this service is not yet avaiable in my country or territory.
A lot of sites state it's easy to sign up once you log in from a US IP using a vpn or proxy in Canada, but I'm in the US and still having trouble.
Could someone help me sort this out? These same sites also claim that once you've signed up, you can access the service in Canada.
What is Google looking at to identify I have a Canadian account? I've changed my G+ profile info to a US address (the one I'm staying at), changed my credit card info to this same US address in Google Wallet, and the only thing I can think of that still ties me to Canada is my phone number.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
You could try a few things
I'd say use a VPN to signup with a US Google email address, download a google music apk somewhere other than playstore, if it doesn't have it available in Canada then sign in with that info, though accessing may be country restricted too so even playing it may be a hassle. I suggest using a program called tunnelbear. buy a subscription for a year of service, it offers VPN for Canada, US, UK, and many others. I use it to stream BBC content through the BBC iPlayer application on my android phone.

Hope this helps
Hey tswillette, thanks for the tip. If I can't sort this out while I'm here, I'll try your approach when I get back home.

[Q] Can I stop Twitter from doing this?

1st things 1st - My device: Verizon S4 Root/Safestrap/Eclipse/Titanium Pro
Is there a way to not allow this to be done without uninstalling the TweetCaster app? I checked in the app's settings and I don't see any way to stop or not allow updates. I do have Google Play's settings at "Do not auto-update apps" - would this be sufficient? Or may Twitter go behind everyone's back and do this independently through their app and bypass Google Play? I do not want Twitter to be able to identify what apps I have or otherwise have access to my S4 to "target ads" to me.
Please note I Do Not have the Twitter app, I have TweetCaster (if it's different than the Twitter app? I don't know?) I heard facebook was doing this same BS & people deleted the app (I Do Not use FB) and am looking for a way to not allow Twitter to do this (if there is a way to). Thanks (I don't believe the last line below)

Twitter Plans to Peek at Your Apps to Serve You Targeted Ads
Twitter will soon identify the other apps on your phone in an effort to personalize your experience on its service—i.e. serve you targeted ads.
The company discusses the move on its website, and according to the news site Re/code, this sort of tracking will begin with a new version of its iPhone app, set to roll out on Wednesday. A new Android version that works in much the same way will roll out over the next week.
Now a public company, Twitter is exploring many different ways to boost its revenue, and one method is through better targeted ads. The company already has some personal information about those using its service—what they type into their Twitter profiles and the tweets they post—but now, it wants more. “To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in,” the company says.
In this way, it’s following the lead of Facebook and Google and so many others that seek to target ads. The difference is that Twitter doesn’t have access to nearly as much personal data as Facebook, which inherently encourages users to provide information about themselves, or Google, which operates a wide range of services atop its own mobile OS. So Twitter is reaching out into other parts of the phone, something that is easy to do. The Apple/Google mobile OSes provide ready access to information like this & many apps take advantage of this—some going much further than others.
Twitter says it will point users to its new data policy, via an in-app notification, before it starts collecting any personal information. But the new update is opt-out, which means that in order for the company to stop gathering data on your account, you must explicitly turn this data collection off. But few users are likely to do so.

I think Tweetcaster is a third party application just like Falcon doesn't have anything to do with the default twitter app. .Or you can just see if that option is listed their within the Tweetcaster application to opt out of it.
