Amazon MP3 - Off-topic

Bit of a weird request. I need someone who lives in the US or UK and has access to the Amazon MP3 store to buy an Amazon Exclusive album for me. I'm an unfortunate Canadian who is constantly envying our friends to the south with their Hulu and Pandora and Spotify and Google Voice and different Netflix...
Any takers? I'll give you $5 USD + the cost of the music, of course.
Alternatively, any way to get the Amazon MP3 app / Amazon App store in Canada?

Tell me what album and I'll see what I can do

Thanks for the APK, but it force closes on my devices...
Also I think I'll need more than just access to the MP3 store, they seem to need a credit card with a US billing address.

OK, figured out a way to get it.
Go to Amazon.com, buy myself a gift card using my Canadian credit card.
Via a US-based proxy: Create a new amazon account, redeem credit card and buy music.
Thanks all for the replies though!

I'm trying to install Mobitv. After downloading the apk. How do I install it?
Even though we can get the apk, do you think we still have to pay the $9.99/month for the service? lol...
Hi ya, what is this application for ?
Appears to run at Backflip's resolution. Says application is not available and closes on my AT&T N1.
resolution needs to be fixed.
says that the mobitv is unavailable. try again later
does not work on wifi
on my tmo n1
looks promising though
Once somebody gets their hands on a /system dump for the galaxy s we should see a working version of this.
im pretty sure one of the great people on this site can get this working for us
i got it to work but only got the 4 minute trail. im not sure we will be able to take this any further seeing how we actually gotta pay a monthly fee on this n with the way the image looked, its not worth the $9.99/month they want
Post in "Nexus One Themes and Apps"
Any update?
hey i used this file on my nexus one and the menu shows in backflip resolution but when you select a channel it plays in full screen but in backflip resolution, so its not 100% clear but sound is awesome. any ways the trial ran out, i clicked purchase for 9.99 a month and called att to cancel it. when i called they said there was no record of me purchasing the app and there is nothing on my account for 9.99 a month. therefore i guess becuase we have the apk we can jus install and since the app is "not compatible" with nexus one then it will go through and let us watch for free. so far so good. jus hope someone out there can fix the resolution. i was watching the world cup game yesterday and looked fine, shoot for free mobi tv how can i complain.

Using Us play store credit outside US

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy the Nexus 7. My friend will buy it from US, activate it so that I will get the free credit and sent it over to me in India.
I understand I wont be able to use Movies, Books etc.
But will I be able to use the free credit to buy apps in India?????
Depends on the copyright the application creators allow. In most cases, yes.
Ok I will clarify a little more. I am not asking about any region limited apps. Will I be able to use the credit to buy apps in Indian play store? Or is the free credit valid within US only?
Thanks
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
I was in Canada when I bought my Nexus 7, and travelled to the US. While there, I did buy some apps, though I was not allowed to use their Magazines and Music store. It knew I was Canadian, but gave me access to apps on the American store (like NBC Olympics). You'd probably have similar luck.
And it's a great tablet anyway, even without the Play Store credit. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't work.
Though I wonder if MarketEnabler would get it to work if it doesn't. I'm just confident that you'll be fine.

I don't think using the credit is a problem rather getting a credit is a problem as Google would require a US credit carded added in your wallet account before you activate your free credit.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I got that one covered. My friend would buy it activate using my Id and his card and then sent it over to me.
Another doubt. Can I still use the credit even after the card which was used to activate the device is removed from my wallet account?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda app-developers app
yes i've done exactly that, i used my brothers credit card details to get the free credit and then deleted his card from my payment options.. still have the 25 dollars play store credit.. its there like its own gift voucher card

Yes, no problem with that.
A different method to get the credit!
Well I tried another method of getting Play store credit. Using this method I was able to achieve it all. And I find that this connects with VPN with more speed rather than configuring using on device VPN connection.
I did following to get the $25 credit plus Google Movies, Music, Wallet, Books and Magzines too
1. Download Spotflux and install it. (a Free and best VPN solution)
2. Download Connectify and install it.
3. Share Spotflux connection using Connectify
4. Rest your Nexus 7 tablet
5. Connect using the newly created WiFi hotspot
6. Just proceed with the steps. After completion you will receive $25 credit :laugh:
All these steps in detail and with screenshots are also available on my blog post http://www.abtevrythng.com/2012/09/how-to-get-25-credit-in-play-store-with.html

Chromecast for use in UK

I have had a Chromecast delivered to a friend in the US. Before I get it sent over here, would it be best to have him set it up over there and then just use it here or do I need to have it sent to me here in UK in virgin state and sideload the setup apk?
Any advice and links to guides from UK users would be much appreciated.
For now I am really only interested in using YouTube and Chrome on it.

Thanks for that. So once I have installed the apk, will future updates get installed OTA automatically or will it recognise it is being used in a region not yet supported?

I haven't seen My ChromeCast get any updates yet. But I've been to busy to look out for them, sorry it's a poor answear. But I guess if you was to get updates would be OTA, but I imagine there maybe a region issue.

Just a lot of conjecture on whether it will be out before Christmas. It has been out of stock in the US (at least on Amazon) until this last week or so. I would hope they will have learnt something about the demand to be expected and get those warehouses filled up for Santa. But then again the Nexus 4 supply fiasco didn't seem to teach them anything so who knows?
I've had once in UK for a month or so now, bought and shipped from US.
It has auto updated at least three times already.
The only thing that you must watch for is when the chromecast apk updates as the market won't do it for you. But it's always found on the internet

Better off doing it yourself, as you can then make sure to flash a non-updating ROM onto it. theres no problem setting up entirely in the UK, and everything works fine over here. (with the latest ROM it even sets up as UK in one of the 2 region options.. )

Try changing your wireless channel in the superhub.. I assume the US might not use all the same ones we do over here, might get it working. (just a guess by the way no evidence to support it being correct)

Hi imran_jasper. I'm using it on Virgin Media. If you have Mac address filtering switched on, make sure you add the Mac address of the chromecast. I forgot that at first.

Google Music 6 months trial

Well my question was finally answered today. Turns out you have to start your 6 month trial for Google Music by October 15th. I'm wondering if it's the same for everyone?
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.
Both my fiancee and I got this email as well. I already have All Access activated on my account and we were going to wait until it was up before activating my fiancee's 6 months, looks like that plan is out the window.
I was hoping to wait to activate it until spring for outside exercising. Guess that's not gonna happen.

The offer comes up upon launching Play Music on your phone. Since you already have it, I've read that you can redeem the 6 months by cancelling your current subscription and then launching Play Music on your phone (you may or may not need to clear the app data).
Didn't work
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm...not sure then. From what I've read it should be as simple as canceling the current subscription, clearing the Play Music app data, and then launching Play Music. I didn't have a previous All Access subscription so I can't confirm it myself, but others have said they were successful with that method. Perhaps Google caught wind and have prevented previous subscribers from being eligible.
After speaking with Google, I was told that i would have to cancel my 7.99 subscription and start a new 9.99 subscription to take advantage of the offer. Verizon would not help even though there have been reports of them giving customers a refund for the offer balance.

Well, Canada getting anything is quite groundbreaking! Thats what this is all about.
Theres no Radio on my google music... maybe I didnt get update?
Welcome to Canada!
I'm glad a post was made announcing Google Music's availability in Canada, perhaps a new thread dedicated to services actually available to Canadians should be started, for example Amazon app store is finally available to us Canadians (Free app of the Day):victory:
For those who don't care I understand, but many many services are delayed or blocked for us up here so having a resource or post letting us now about one finally getting loose up here is great!

This is how it happened. I accessed the Play Store, and went to Music. It was there that I found music for sale! I immediately bought the new pearl jam cd. I now believe that it was this purchase that brought about the changes to Google music on my phone.
I am running v5.2.1224L.847622
The only thing of note is that in my Google wallet settings, I have a visa for purchases. The address for it is in the U.S..

Grand Central, the company Google purchased and transformed into Google Voice, offered Canadian numbers.
Plus there are several talk/text applications that offer Canadian numbers like Fongo.
Don't know, but I'll take your word for it. Perhaps it's size - smaller player's get away with it, while bigger companies play by the rules? I'm sure if they could Google would go for it - it's in their interest to do so.
