[Q] SD card batch install of apk's - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I wish to make an SD card with some free and some paid apps and send to a friend so she can just plug the SD card on the phone, maybe just execute some sort of file and all the apps in one go get installed on the phone.
I assume I will at least need to know the gmail account of the device to buy the apps on the account.
How difficult is to do such a thing?

Talking about copying apks is forbidden in xda
And to ask how to do it!!

I stated that they will be or FREE or legally PAID.
I don't need to talk about copying. I know how this can be done and I am not talking about this at all.

You want to send paid for apps to a second party .
But this user will buy them from Play store ??? but you will purchase them and pay for them ??? . Or are you going to purchase them using this persons credit card .
All this is rather complicated and what is their to stop this user from downloading and purchasing apps from the Play store .

My credit card. I will take all cost and process.
I just want to make a gift with sone apps.
Ideally I could buy them on their Gmail account OR I send them an SD card with the apps.
If it can't happen then IMHO there is a gap in the gift market...

No gap as it would lend itself to theft and your card would have to be tied to their Google account .
Simple solution is to send a Google Play store gift card .

Not bad idea. However, then you just give a gift card and not a specific app as a gift.
Also it seems that this gift card is a physical product not sold online.
I am out of US so I don't think I can get hold of it easily...

Nice add on to you're first post. That wasn't there when I commented lmao.

Paid the app but never downloaded it.

So i bought an application from the Market but it said that there is a problem with the payment and it cannot be done.
In my google wallet it says:
Your VISA card ending in **** was declined.
Retry your credit card or add a new one to complete your pending order(s).
The thing is that the money were taken from my credit card and but the application never recieved.
Any suggestions??
Contact your bank and google support. IMHO money is in pending status and they will be back soon.
Yeah i did it. From my bank they said that after 15 dayts the money will be returned... But no reply from google or the app developer.. :/
Complain to google or the developer. They might give u the refund or give u the app.

Google Wallet credit

I noticed on some third party sites that the HTCEVO4GLTELMNOP came with a $10 Google Wallet credit. Does anyone know if this is also included in Sprint.com preorders?
They just added Google Wallet as a payment option at my grocery store so I might actually get some use out of it now.
You automatically get that $10 when you sign up for Google Wallet by default. What would be nice is if we got the extra $40 the Galaxy Nexus owners got. But we probably won't.

I noticed that as well. I do happen to have one but only use is as a backup or for emergencies. I'm hoping they open it up to other cards soon.

You dont have to use a citi card. You can use a prepaid google card funded by any of your existing cards. http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works-payments.html

I wonder how those "top up" charges will appear on my Chase credit card? If it's just a regular purchase, that's fine, but it would conceivably post as a cash advance or something. I think I'll set one up and add $10 or so to it and see what happens. Thanks for the link!

That actually makes perfect sense.
Well, it's done! I got the free $10 and added $20 with my Chase card. Now I just need to find a place to try the damn thing out.
Mine keeps failing to add/create the prepaid card. Any tips to get it to add?
Not happy that you can't buy a gift card with a regular debit card HAS to be a credit or non-pin number signature type card. I can find other uses for NFC.

Haven't tried adding anymore other than the initial $10 but why not just add to the google pre-paid card and use that. (unless that's what you're referring to) All the places you can add giftcards for accept it, whether it be paypass, or a google wallet location so just use that.
To the person asking about where you can use it. Go to the google wallet website, you can look up nearby places that use it. There are actually more places than listed on the site as well. Because they are partnered with mastercard, as long as the store accepts mastercard paypass you can use your google wallet there.
Hopefully they can get other issuers on board aside from Citi MasterCard, however as with all new things, everyone is doing their own thing instead of trying to form a standard. That is until one becomes more popular than the other. I believe Visa is partnering with Isis as well as some other vendors.
Got another $10 from google. Activated just fine for me. When I get my other $65 transfered over i'll have $75 on google. Thanx and go android!

Because you need that credit or non-pin card to attach it to the Google pre-paid card, that's what I was getting at.

From what i have read even though it says you cant use debit cards as long as it has a visa or mc logo and is not a straight pin debit card it should still work fine.

Whats your error? Mine says NFC is disabled even though it isn't, and the checkbox for NFC in the settings area is flakey (shows as checked, try to uncheck it and leave/come back and its checked again). Is my NFC chip broken?

have you tried rebooting? if not, try it. if you did, go to power>uncheck fastboot, turn off phone, turn on again. sometimes it just needs a good power cycle to straighten itself out esp if you havent really turned it off since you got it (me)

Oh ok, as I stated I haven't really added money yet aside from the initial $10. As another user pointed out, is the debit card you're using an ATM-Only card or is it a debit card backed by MasterCard or VISA?

can we buy apps with the 10$ that comes on the google wallet card??

listin i been trying to figure out how to buy an app with the 10$ thats on my card.. and it wont let me??? am i missing somethin... gives me the option to bill my sprint account.. add card...redeem.. i push redeem then it says gift card code.. i put the number on the 10$ card and it keeps saying invalid gift card code?????? WACK!!!!!!
No you can't, at least from what I've read (I wondered the same thing). Google wants you to spend that $10 using the phone's NFC capabilities.
Actually I spent mine on a cheap mhl adapter by going to a site that accepts Google wallet
That's good to know. I was just going off of what I had read before because I was wondering the same as OP.

Well you couldn't until they upgraded to their new cloud payment system. Now any site (supposedly I only tried the one) that has a Google wallet logo allows you to make a purchase without having to sign up to the website, really convenient

What one did you try? It'd be pretty cool if Amazon or other major online retailers started accepting Google Wallet (though that wouldn't really add any convenience for most people, since I'm sure everyone already has an Amazon accounts).

[Q] Questions Regarding Developer Account on Google Play

Guys, I just made some apps and I want to publish them on Google Play, some paid and some free. I successfully paid the $25 fee for Google Play Developer Account.
Now, to publish paid apps, a merchant account on Google Checkout is needed. This requires us to have a credit card.
My questions are:
Can't a debit card work here?
If yes, does it need to be from a 'big' bank, I mean the one that operates globally?
Won't just a debit card from ANY bank work?
All in all, I mean is there any restriction on which bank the card is from?
And now, if debit card won't be allowed, I have same questions for a credit card.
Please somebody respond to me guys, I am very upset at this. I did all that I wanted to but just can't publish because of this annoying thing.
Also, I want to mention, when I was asked to pay the $25 fee, they didn't accept the payment from a debit card. When I later used a credit card (of a friend) it was accepted.
The problem is I don't earn, I am a student so I can't avail a credit card (In India I can't, unaware of other countries). Now if my debit card (which I will get in a month ) doesn't work here, I will have to get a credit card (most probably in my dad's name) which will again take a long time to reach my hands. I can't waste my time. Please somebody help me.
Currently I don't own any of the card - neither debit nor credit, I used my friend's. I have applied for a debit card today and it'll take a month to be created, as I said above. So I am under doubt will this merchant account accept that?
I might have confused you a lot, because even I am upset and out of control. :crying:
If any one of you can help, please respond.
Thanks.
I know, things are really frustrating. You need a credit card. I'm pretty sure. A friend of mine registered for SAT, and he had to get a credit card for that. I know programming. I have made some applications. But I cant publish it because I can't spend 25 dollars. In India, 25 dollars are a considerable amount of money. I have to wait till I finish my studies to publish my app. You will need a credit card, but let me tell you something, credit cards can easily ruin a man.

When you get a credit card, you are tightening a noose around your neck. My sister got a credit card in India, the bank kept calling her up every month and asking her to deposit some money to the credit card. We're broke and it's really hard paying top of 1000 Rupees every month. In the end, we had to cancel the credit card and so ended her dreams of studying in America.
Hey bro. Don't worry. You could opt for virtual credit card. If you or any of your family members have an Sbi account. You can apply for it. It's just simple. If you want $20, you could apply for a virtual credit card that amount, then the bank will provide you a card number which will be valid for single use. I often use it to recharge my Google wallet to buy apps and for online shopping and also to ddeposit my PayPal.

I have already read that buddy. I know that they have mentioned a debit card also there but as I said it was rejected when I was paying the 25$ for Developer Account. So, I am worried if it also doesn't get accepted for a Merchant Account.

[Advice] Google Play Store Payment

Hey,
Just looking for a bit of assistance and please excuse if this is the incorrect place. I'm currently getting a Nexus 5 from the play store in Australia and was wondering about payment methods, the reason behind this is because:
a) I'm not in a supported County of the play store
b) I own a debit card
While I know play store accepts debit cards this doesn't help much. So iv managed to get hold of a friend in Australia who will get the device for me when it comes available again and I'll sort out my own private shipping from him to me. Anyways my main question was:
What would be the best method to get my funds to him? Iv got plenty options like PayPal the funds to his account which he can then use his own debit card to pay for it or would a Google wallet transfer be a better option? Last one is it possible to purchase from the play store using his (the Australian friends) Google wallet?
I'm trying to make the process as smooth as possible since he is really helping me out, I don't want to back door Google and go via a VPN when I can try resolve this easy with a simple question.
Regards and thanks in advance

you can use western union, they are every where and can transfer within the day
.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​
Western Union charges. Paypal is instant and doesn't cost anything under a certain amount if I'm not mistaken. I've used PayPal to xfer money to friends and it works great. They don't even need a PayPal account. Once you send a payment to an email, they will get an email to open up an account to collect the money. Also the android app works really well for personal payments, not to mention that you can get a debit card from them that costs nothing and gives cash back on purchases.
