I saw somebody had started a similar thread a week or so ago on this topic, but now I can't find it.
Anyway, as the subject box says, the option to bill to my at&t account is no longer there when purchasing apps via google play. Was wondering if anyone had a new solution or if there are others out there that still can with google play, or can't like myself.
Thank you

According to another thread, Google pulled bill to carrier function.

It disappeared for me for a few days but it's back now. I was able to buy something yesterday and bill my account. I just checked again and the option is still there.

Has anyone heard anything new about this?
I have contacted both Google and AT&T, both of who claim that there should be no problem, either with my account specifically or the system as a whole.
I only have the "Add Card" option.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on AT&T
I too only see the "Add Card" option. So it isn't only you.
I use the option often, and it's still there for me.
I saw the same thread the OP saw a week or so ago, and I remember thinking to myself that it could be missing if you have a custom non stock rom flashed. Would be news to me as I've had custom roms on other phones before and never had a problem. I could be wrong though as I'm definitely not a dev.
I had this option disappear on me, and I've never used a custom ROM on my Infuse. I did root the device, though.
When u use custom Rom it tends to happen but its very rare BUT clear ur market data and go into market it will ask you to log back in. That should work if not let me know

Still missing
I have been fighting this issue since Feb 21st.
I have reset my phone back to factory settings 2 or 3 times and had the sim card changed twice. Still the bill to mobile option is missing. It worked fine and showed up every time until Feb 21st of this year and nothing I do seems to fix it. Strange things is some of my coworkers have the Samsung Skyrocket and can bill to mobile with no problems. Has anyone any real info on whats going on or what the real issue is??

I need more info than that to help u. Are u rooted if so what Rom u using or are u stock?
on Sprint, you had to be a "A" customer, with a year or more of perfect payments to even have a chance of being able to bill to your carrier; if you are new to ATT, or have poor credit, it won't work for you..
My info
It is right out of the box.
I have done nothing to it other than use
as it would normally be used.
So I guess it is stock. No idea how to root a phone.

cant bill to account
same problem, rooted SGSII Skyrocket, completely stock. i used the feature a couple times, then... "poof" its gone. i read some of the replys and i missed a bill one day by mistake and im not sure if thats what did it or not but that was 5 months ago. there are no purchase blocking services on my account, but i cant be totally sure because customer service is closed, so i plan on calling in the morning to find out if there are any hidden services seeing as it is AT&T. im determined to find out why i cant bill things to my account; because i dont use credit cards its quite inconvenient if i want to purchase something. if i figure this out ill be sure to post on this thread and/or make a new one on how to hunt down the solution.
I had a similar problem but I believe it has something to do with the ROM you are currently running. I have seen the option on some roms and not in others.

Well that's the thing, my phone is completely stock except for that it's rooted. And it worked when it was rooted too because I bought "android over clock" coincidentally on February 21, the same day I believe someone mentioned the ability to bill to the account, disappeared.
Well I called att and to no avail. They where as or more clueless to my issue at hand. So I'm stuck behind a brick wall now.

Well... Just as mysteriously as it disappeared, it's back, I can now bill to myccount again. I don't have any idea why it decided to show up so I can't help anyone. I'll try to find the reasoning.

i know this is old news for responding to this response, but I have a Samsung Note I717 as a second line and it has the Bill AT&T option... But I have a dell streak where ive purchased 6 apps over time, with the last one just befoer th 'REDEEM" crap was pushed out.. Now the streak lost the billing option
I got my yesterday. It was real late, so I opened up just to check if it was not broken etc.....
Then something occurred to me, my nexus 10 per-configured. At no time did I go through the initial setup as I would do for a new phone or other tablets. This out of the box tablet, unused by me, had all my emails synced, all my apps installed, and it even connected to my home wifi network without ever asking for the wep key ?
Is this normal ? Cause its very very creepy.

This. I remember such an option when I bought my Nexus 7; although I don't think all my apps were on it, but I could be wrong.
I had the option checked (I thought I did anyways) and I had to set mine up.

It defaults to checked I believe.
I had the option checked and my account wasn't linked.
which is fine because that's what I actually wanted.
Just think, that when they ship them preconfigured (which is hard to believe because that would mean someone has to unpack them and upload all the stuff) and the devices get stolen or "kidnapped" these people would get access to your google account
Google already knows everything about you... doesn't matter what you tick.
Yeah I've found lots of things creepy but also. I think knowing all my wifi passwords was pretty creepy cause those aren't something you really get to choose if Google saves... Google now seems to be affected by what I do on my android phone such as recent navigation paths show up as new cards on tablet.

I was a little disappointed that although I selected the option, mine hadnt been set up.
Wasn't disappointed long though cause I just unlocked and rooted it, which factory reset anyway.

It doesn't come pre-configured nor they unpack them and upload all the stuff. At the time of shipping the Serial Number is linked to your account you purchase from. Turning it on, it reads your Serial Number and configures it for your account.

I'm pretty sure that's not right. Because without Internet it couldn't do that, and I've seen Nexus 7s come out of the box configured before they got connected to Wifi.

Are you saying that Google has your WiFi password?
And it gives this password to their employees to pre-configure your device before shipment?
Imagine, the cost to Google, with the labor being so expensive in the USA, to open each box, take out the wrappings, configure your device, and wrap it again like a brand new unit, with plastics, tape around the box and so forth.
Boggles the mind.
Best regards,
K guys I'm gonna try something new to me: Voice of reason.
Maybe there's a special NFC code that wakes the device and has it connect to some WiFi that is nearby and configure then shut down. If that is the case, all they would need to do is have Samsung ship the devices in a state that would accept a NFC wake (could even be a special hardware wake circuit), scan the device to your order, and leave the box in a WiFi accessible location for an hour and it should all be able to have downloaded. No need for a greasy Google goon to touch your device or know your WiFi passkey. Samsung can seal the box, and Google can just shove info into your tablet from its database. G would never pay an army of people to unbox and play with a million tablets, I am certain.
Do keep in mind that any data that Google has in their database is recoverable - i.e., your privacy being safe just because someone didn't have an opportunity to scribble your wpa2 key down is a naïve notion... Keep your digital life as private as you are comfortable with everyone knowing.

Just like above, or simply it logs on to someone's unsecured WiFi and configures the account based on the Serial Number as I have mentioned above.

As far as I remember if you don't uncheck the syncing options your WIFI password is stored in your google account when setting it up.
Happened to me twice with GB. Made me change the WIFI password.
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Note 2 when connected to my Sync system in my Lincoln MKS. I'm able to pair successfully, stream music, make phone calls and it works just the way it should, but when I try to choose the text message option I receive an error message stating that "Text messaging is not supported on the phone currently connected by Bluetooth." Well, ok . . . except it is. I know the phone has the correct blue tooth profile on it to allow SMS to be displayed on Sync, and I know Sync has worked correctly before because it worked perfectly with my Droid RAZR MAXX. I really miss this feature, it's not the end of the world but it's really aggravating that this phone has the necessary profile, Sync has worked correctly in the past (I'm pretty sure it's up to date, that's the one thing I'm still needing to confirm but I would think that if it worked with the RAZR it would work with the Note 2) and yet here I am with no capability of texting. I contacted both Samsung and Ford even though I really look at this as a Samsung issue, and both were useless, though Ford didn't suggest I hard reset my phone (and I still don't know why I humored Samsung on that anyways) but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
FWIW the text feature didn't work on the Galaxy Nexus either. This points to an issue on the Samsung end. Hopefully it's not a hardware limitation on the Note 2.

Ugh, that's annoying, I wasn't aware of that. It's just so strange because all the pieces are in place - Sync requires MAP, the bluetooth profile loaded on to the Note 2 includes MAP - but clearly something is putting a stop to it. This is the only negative I've found about the phone so far and it's not worth returning it over, but man is it annoying.

Yeah, no, it really doesn't. The only request I get from Sync during the pairing process is for phone book and call history. I've unpaired and re-paired the phone multiple times to no avail. Glad it works for you, but "trust me," it doesn't for me.

Lol, whoa... settle down.
Works for me in my 2012 Focus.
Worked on my Galaxy S3, too, when I ran it stock.
Also, it wouldn't have worked on a stock Galaxy Nexus because MAP is not part of AOSP. Some ROMS did have it built in, though.
Have you tried a Reset on SYNC?

I wasnt running a stock GNex.
Trying to find helpful information on the SYNC side is frustrating. MyFordTouch vs SYNC with navigation vs plain SYNC. Then throw in the different software versions for each hardware version and on top of that trying to decipher which ones are capable of a software upgrade.
Maybe Samsung and Ford finally collaborated on the 2012 models? My F150 is a 2011.

Check out this link http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/#check-compatibility as it will have the compatible phones for each sync system. I understand you have everything setup properly and its not working but its my understanding if the phone isn't listed on the compatibility list then more than likely it wont work. I would also check online once this phone gets a little bit older in age to see if Ford updates sync to be compatible with this phone and a lot of other new ones that have been released. Hope this helps

Sorry but that other dude was just annoying me and not helping me in the least. It's fine to not know the answer, but just admit to it and/or don't post, preferably the latter. Unless you have the same car and phone, what worked for you is completely irrelevant to what will work for me. You at least have a suggestion, too bad it didn't work.

Yeah, I don't think of this as a Ford issue but they are making it unnecessarily difficult to rule them out. I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS, picked it up in June, and there's no way short of taking it to a dealer to know if Sync is up to date or not. Fortunately (uh, I guess . . . ) for me I discovered a pretty nasty transfer case leak when changing the oil the other day, so the big girl is heading to the dealer on Monday to get that sorted out and I'm just gonna have them make sure she's all up to date on Sync, TSB's, have them figure out why I get these intermittent squeaks from the stereo, just get her all in good shape. For the record, here's the facts I am certain of:
FACT: I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS with Sync in it.
FACT: My previous phone was a Droid RAZR MAXX.
FACT: When the RAZR MAXX was connected to Sync, the text message feature worked perfectly.
FACT: My current phone is a Galaxy Note 2.
FACT: I am able to connect my Note 2 to my Sync without issue and am able to make phone calls and stream Google Music over it.
FACT: Here is what I see when I choose text messaging on the screen.

I figured I'd go ahead and bump this and see if anyone had any thoughts on this issues three months later. I've even rooted and ROM'd the phone hoping I'd find support from the aftermarket but Clean Rom, Eclipse and Cyanogen are all no joy.

Have you tried this rom. It indicates it has MAP support but from CM so maybe it won't work. I'm trying the same things on my Nexus 4 with Ford Sync/Touch. I can live without it, but it sure is hard to sit next to my husband with his iphone which does work with MAP. My Sync software doesn't even have the same settings (that I've been able to find) as the manual shows: "Advanced phone options; Enable MAP." Good luck. I have made requests on several Google threads that they re-instate their previous BT stack which apparently had MAP working before the latest updates.

I almost wish you hadn't pointed that out to me, haha, but I'll flash it in a day or so when I get a chance. I wanted to keep a Touchwiz ROM so I could keep S-pen and particularly multi-window, but I don't really use those features as much as I thought I would when I got the phone, so maybe it won't be the end of the world to not have them.
The whole situation is really puzzling, every piece of documentation I've found states the Note 2 has MAP support out of the box. My vehicle is a 2010 so it's the pre-MyFordTouch, but I have checked with Ford and they've stated it supports MAP, and what REALLY boggles the mind is the Droid RAZR MAXX I had prior to the Note 2 worked perfectly with it, so it's not like I'm asking for something I simply can't have or that hasn't worked before.
Making the situation even stranger is I had a loaner vehicle while the car was in for service, which was a 2012 MKT with MyFordTouch and it worked absolutely perfectly with the Note 2 for the few days I had it, text messaging and all. It's different software than on my 2010, but now I'm not sure who's really to blame, Samsung or Ford.
Oh well. Maybe Motorola will step up with a 5.5"+ screen and a MAXX battery when it's time for me to get a new phone in September and then I can have all the things I want in a phone.
my toro never was able to show SMS messages, and even my stock note 2 couldn't ... got rooted, and put CarbonRom, no joy. Using Jelly Beans ROM. If I get an SMS on the phone, I might see it... just flashed it this morning cause CarbonROM (as of 19 March 2013) didn't have a working tether (without third party software).
Showing SMS texts isn't a deal breaker for me though... sorry your phone doesn't work. I will say Ford Sync has been pretty awesome for streaming audio, and phone calls though. I had heard from my dealer that I shouldn't update my SYNC in my 2010 Fusion Hybrid, as there have been further issues with the software updates. The dealer suggested that there were updates that could be applied (as opposed to the failed 'at home' updates that I attempted to apply with no luck). And I don't want to fix what really isn't broken.

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.
Do you guys happen to have your browsers synced to chrome on your pc? My wife, and I share our search history through chrome. If you look in google now, it displays your search history from your browser as well. This could be it, though I am just taking a stab at it.

Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

I am not alone! Thanks for the reply!
You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.
What do we do about it?

You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.
What do we do about it?

Well, I thought it was Google associating the Verizon account or something. But, turns out, it was definitely something local to the phone. This has been going on for a while for me, and I finally got tired of it, so I completely factory rest my phone. That finally cleared it up. However, I want to stress, I'm 100% sure I didn't have my wife's account logged into my phone. She's crazy about security and changes her password every couple months (last time was last week, and the issue has been going on longer than that, so it's literally impossible).
I will say, at some point in the past I did have her account on there when we needed to get access to her email for something. My current theory is that there was still a "ghost" of the account still on there somehow associated with Chrome. But really, I'm just grasping at straws. All I know is a factory reset fixed it.

The ghost file theory makes no sense / isn't plausible for my situation. I completely wipe and factory reset my phone at least once a month for ROM purposes. I have never have used her phone for any personal accounts or anything like that. She does not even have the Chrome app on her phone.
Something else is up with this. . .
Is it just me or does this seem like a somewhat serious issue?
Google Now search on another phone

So I am in the UK on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network. My wife and I both have Nexus 4s. When she searches on her phone it comes up in my google now but not in hers! The only link we have is that I ordered her phone from my Google account.
The phone itself was registered and has only ever been used with her account though. Could it be because we're on the same WiFi network?
I suppose a solution was never found?
This just started happening with me and my girlfriend. I have a nexus 4 and she has an iPhone 4s. I'm on T-Mobile, she's on att. My searches do not show up on her phone. And something she searched on her phone while stuck in traffic also showed up on my phone when I wasn't anywhere near her. Though I suppose it could've been some sort of WiFi sync when she got home. Anyone still trying to figure this out?

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.

Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

Why dont you guys turn web history off? Go here: https://accounts.google.com/Login?continue=https://history.google.com/history/&hl=en
Then clear all your searches and turn it off then test your problem again.

Afraid not. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, the two never cross polinate.
I think I would have worked that out by now. I have never signed in on her laptop.
But, when she searches on her phone, it comes up in my google now.
Something I find with google now is it doesn't show searches from the phone's chrome browser as suggestions, just those from other devices. For some reason it thinks her phone is one of my devices. It doesn't think my phone is one of hers though?
So Mr WolfePack, now solve the case!
Did any of you guys even try what I mentioned above? The least you could do is reply back saying it doesnt work.

You mentioned me in your quote, but I'm not having their issue. I'm just curious to what it could be.

Your suggestion should solve it though, theoretically. If one of these guys ever tries it and responds.

Im thinking the same thing lol.
So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here
neowin.net/forum/topic/1163306-android-notifications-woes-with-whatsapp/[/url]
Which eventually led me to post here so.
Edit: just figured this is posted in verizon gs4... is there a forum for international unlocked 9500? would a mod be so kind to move it without deleting this?
