Hi everyone
A lot of Chinese (non licensed) phones won't allow paid apps to be downloaded from the android market. On the other hand, I DO have a Chinese "no name" phone that downloads everything, including paid apps.
I'm trying to find out where all the information is located how the android market identifies the android device and either allows to download paid apps or denies it
My first guess of course was the build.prob, my friend copied the build.prob from my (paid apps download working) phone to his paid apps non working phone, NO SUCCESS, he still can't download any paid apps with my build.prob.
So, I'm guess there have to be other files(?) that also play a role on how a phone is recognized by the market?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

And cheating is not recommended here

Excuse me?
Of course I am trying to download paid apps from the official market, where else would I download paid apps?
And what you do mean by cheating? I don't want to cheat anyone, all I want is to fix a phone so I can buy apps from the OFFICIAL android market with that phone as well
Edit: Maybe I should keep it simpler? Here's the situation:
The official android market lets me buy apps when I am using my Chinese Phone A
When I try to buy apps with my Chinese Phone B, the download won't work, I can only download free apps.
What I want is to be able to buy apps with phone B as well. Nothing illegal, I just want to give Google some of my money

The main problem is that google doesnt allow China based phones to do this. There are reasons for this. It could also be that the phone tells the market where you are based on location.

That's what I'm trying to bring out. Because it is non licences phone, it won't allow you to do so. Even it is open source, phone maker still need to buy the license (Android 2.3 and above, the higher the os is, The more expensive it is. 2.2 and below is free ) from Google.
You can try using amazon if you want to burn some cash.

Like I wrote before, I DO have a Chinese phone that is definitely not licensed ( a Xperia Arc S clone) and that phone lets be me buy my apps
When I check all my devices on my pc when I login to the market, it is listed as "unknown" but still I can download any paid app I want to.
So, somehow this phone is identified as "o.k.", while other Chineses phones are not.
I'm just trying to find out what file(s) on the phone is responsibe for that, it can't just be the build.prob, I don't know this but I have the feeling the information must also be somewhere else?
Also, it can't be a valid or invalid IMEI because the same problem exists with some tablets pcs. Some are able to download paid apps, some are not and none of the have a GSM unit build in and there no IMEIs present.
That's why I was asking here, I was hoping somebody might know more about how the android market identifies a device

Me, too, that doesn't do the job.
Question remains if all the impotant info in stored in the build.prob or what other file(s) might also be important in order how a device is recognized by the android market.

No problem understandig you I'm not surprised it didn't work, I still think the information must be stored elsewhere beside the build.prob, if only I knew were, hence this thread
if it's possible can you upload system /app folder from your phone....I think is in this folder the solution...bye

You really think so? That's the last place I would have guessed.
Here you go:
http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/appx18i.zip
Let us know if you find anything
You could try this solution:
http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.php/Fix_Market_For_Slates#Get_AndroidID_From_A_Phone
Essentially it involves finding the androidID on your phone (or emulator) where the market works using
Code:
adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "select * from meta";
and then copying that to the phone where the market doesn't work using
Code:
adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "update meta set intvalue='idnumber_from_above' where name='androidId'";
It's not a ROM fix but at least it might help some people.
Looks like the geniuses at PayPal decided that my Galaxy S2 isn't grand enough to run their simple new app and decided to block the download.
Can somebody please get the APK for me? I'd really appreciate it too if you could paste your prop file so I can get it to download properly on my phone.
Thanks in advance, hate to be a nuisance but I'm not very good with Market tweaks.

Thanks for the effort Jesse, but this is PayPal, I need PayPal Here. It's a new app. Supposedly it's a manufacturer campaign, and it'll be released globally when they launch their plugin card reader (like Square). If you're having trouble finding it in the store, try the link in my post, if you still can't get it I guess we're in the same boat.

This was installed on my Inspire4G through PlayStore, then I used TitaniumBackup to copy it over to my Vivid. If the .apk above doesn't work, just use the TitaniumBackup files enclosed in the RAR file below.

Yeah I dont understand this blocking either. Paypal sent us the swipe device (hardware for the phone) and asked us to download an iPhone app ??? Even though we stated we only use real phones - Android. When I went to the market to download for the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 it was blocked.
Thanks for the files before - will try them out on the Samsung to see if i can get it working.

I should point out that I tried the uploaded APK on my phone (Sorry, shoulda replied!) - it does function, lets me login, but my account isn't "part of the beta program" or some crap like that. I noticed when I had my earbuds plugged in, when opening the app, I heard a loud squelching sound - I'm guessing that's how the app confirms connection the the swipe attachment. If I'm right, it should work fine.
It did work for me, however couldn't get a decent GPS signal which Paypal needs. I also noticed it's version 1.0.0 and i think the current version is 2.7.2.
Anyway paypal called us today to inform us they are working on a release for Australia for Samsung galaxy s2 android. We'll wait and see.....
Hey

Download it from 4shared or any black markets .. i did it and its working

No way I'm going to download a app from 4shared, or any "black markets" that has access to my money...
That's never a good Idea.
Could someone with a high rep on XDA, please upload the PayPal Here app to Dropbox?
New update, and I can't use the app unless I update. But they decided to block my DroidX2. PLEASE could someone upload the latest to dropbox, I use this for my business.
Is there anyone that can post the latest apk? it's version 1.5.1
Does anyone have the 1.6.2 APK? It's the one previous to the current version

Hi. It is really sad, you know, that such phone like I9300 is so popular. Why? Because it is given as the Christmas gift, Frist Confession, Hanukkah and plenty other occasions to the peoples who:
1. Are too lazy to find easiest solutions by themselves
2. Are too pathetic to recognize even that this is NOT I9300 specific question, but generic Android one
This is XDA forum, you know... in theory, developers, troubleshooting of the mess created by unusual actions like overclocking, customizations etc.
But, OK, if your mom in at work, your nanny is busy with her boyfriend, let me help you.

Video Editor on the Play store is my only suggestion .Or take the video to PC and cut it .
As you say Google search found nothing suitable i wont mention any of the apps found .

Well, I'm guessing that you bought this phone new, and as a result you have 50gb of free Dropbox storage.
Why don't you upload whatever video you want on your Dropbox account and then send the public link to who ever it is that you wanted to send it to?
All of this can be done directly though the phone, so it shouldn't be so much of a hassle.
In the even that you got this phone off the second hand market, you have (AFAIK) 5gb of free storage on Google Drive, which is also hooked automatically to your Gmail account, so you could also use that.
Just trying to be helpful, good luck on your Android adventure.

Hi guys,
you know how to hack a server-sided apk app? Please tell me, because i'm searching for that for 1 year but never found it.
I know that's the best developer's forum and i hope you don't ignore my question or fooling around.
Thanks.
Oh.. if you know something about making a mod of that apk app tell me please.
(Monster Warlord is the apk i meant)
DISCLAIMER copyright claims are n easy thing!
1. "server sided apk", can't be hacked, at least you have to hack the server itself, depending on what data you want to modify and where the data is computed - on client or host side.
(tried something similar with the ingress apk )
2. to modify an android application you should have programmed one at first - or know about the structure of such an app, for reengineering purpose.
2.1 decompiling:
http://modstorm.co/how-to-decompile-android-app-with-apktool/
2.2 yes this the heavy load, what to do now depends on what app you want to modify and what in the app - up to you!

Thanks but after i decompilate my apk, what to do? I'm trying to hack a server-sided apk, remember that! Because i don't have reasons to modify a client-sided apk! It really makes no-sense.

It is possible to mod the prises in the apk?
For example, the price of gems es 50usd, and you mod the prise just for 1usd... You are going to pay real money with google play store so that should work?
*facepalm*
No, your missing the point...but lets for the sake of arguement say there was a so file in there with the prices u can mod them all day long an as soon as u connect back to the SERVER...poof all that wasted time..if u dont have physical or atleast a lan line to the server u cant do much on their end.
Hi Guys
i looked for answer everywhere I did not find the Final answer or the solution
Some applications in the phone When you violate the Terms of Use They will banned your phone to use Their services
For example: SnapChat
win you use multi account they banned you to use "snapchat" on your device again
The solution is by clear your "Google Play" data and delete all google accounts associated with your device and use new google account then that you can use "snapchat" again on your device.
but some apps whatever you did you still banned "blocked" from use their app
particulary i mean "BIGO LIVE" app, I did everything to remove the banned from device but i still banned
i change ip and clear google play data and i use new google account, I did everything, but nothing i still banned
i did no't break they Terms or roles
all that is my friend used my phone to sign in he's account when he done and sign out, i back to use my account again but when i sign in i see a message telling me your account has banned, so i tried to create new account i see same message and i tried to sign in with my friend account i see same message.
so how this banned stick on my phone ? when i do everything to skip this banned !!
Who knows the solution ?
I apologize, I use Google Translation and thanks for everyone help me to skip this banned in BIGO LIVE app
They banned you by your IMEI number. Think of it like a serial number. No way around it. Without buying a new phone.

dont know if is legal asking this on xda development ...but u need atleast runing android 6.0 and then root your phone then instasll xposed framework then theres an module called xprivacy... search on Google how to emulate ur imei or unban tutorials using xprivacy
just buy a new cell phone
sorry for my question, if buy new devices or cell phone will that banned can solving or create new account with new google account?
Yogi account unbanned.
OP, is it worth this much trouble?
Examine your motivation(s).
Actions have consequences; consider this before you act.
I know for a fact that snapchat doesnt ban only the IMEI number, so it has to be something different.
