The past year I have been putting together proof the Google Play store has been cloned by the government and is being used for remote surveillance, updating key apps with hacked versions. I am a former security clearance holding federal employee; know (ie it said they could years after leaving in my original paperwork) I have been watched for my standpoint on the crap the US government has pulled over the past 15 years. After Snowden things got worse for everyone who works (or in my case used to work) for the DoD.
I already have enough to think at least Google 2 Step Authentication (idiots used a Langley # on 2 Step phone Auth callback until I tried to blog about it over two years ago) has been thwarted, and now am going further down the rabbit hole. Once I decide how I am going to proceed (after talking to a lawyer) I will probably dump everything I have (as well as some other fun treats) on the surveillance here on XDA.
When did you update SuperSU? I am a paid user that keeps all my apps up to date DAILY and rarely miss a day hitting the play store to check.
Today I got an update alert for SuperSU. The update date says February 1st (Screen Shot Below) and yet it's February 21st. I did not miss 21 days of checking for updates; it was yesterday I last checked. I have not gotten an update for SuperSu since 2.52 and the latest says 2.65, so this update that just popped took at least 21 days to show up on my play store app.

Trying to figure out if this is a joke or not.
Is this true??

Wow... You typed out a back story and conspiracy theories just to ask about an update? Ever hear of this thing called a rollout? Google does the exact same thing with their updates, old date and all. Loosen the tinfoil please.

Hello,
First of all this not the place for conspiracy theories. What you're describing seems like a simple issue with the Play Store. Nothing more and nothing less.
This thread will be closed so that you can sort this out. Try cleaning your cache, restarting your phone, etc.

Missing , one prolific poster, last read - 2 weeks ago.
This place seems different without the 100 posts per day and amusing pictures, is he gone, still alive, or taking a well deserved holiday?

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him around, either. But, I imagine that the mods have been busy cleaning up the ftp site to comply with Microsoft's demand that all the ROM images be removed -- both WM5 and WM6.
I'm sure they're all still around -- just have other duties right now that are more pressing. . .
Mike, I know you're bitter because you only came second. Work on your bum sniffing and you'll do better next time, I promise!
Yes, the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I got bundled off for a very last minute holiday after finishing a very long bit of work. I was stuck in Bulgaria with no open wifi, hence no net access, hence no XDA devs I was going crazy whipping out my phone every 5m to try to find a connection...
Anyway, I'm back, and I'm taking the medication! I got bored reading all the 10,000 unread new posts since I last logged in, so I'm still catching up!
I see the current crop of "Moderators" have let this place go to rack and ruin. When I was around, we were awash in unreleased beta roms, palm messaging apps and naked babes. I hardly recognise the place now.. how long was I gone?!

Thanks to all our awesome fans we have a perfect 5 star rating! Kinsoft is proud to announce our latest, and biggest update yet!
Version 1.3
Mango instant-resume
Added over 1500 additional phrases
Updated/changed some visuals/sounds
This update will only apply to Mango devices, but feel free to download the existing version and get the added functionality when your phone is updated.
Catch Phrase Party
This is that fast talking, fast passing game you all have probably played before. If you haven't, it is a party game where one person has a phrase in front of them, and they have to get their team members to guess the phrase, without spelling it out, using a word from the phrase, etc. If the buzzer sounds when your team has the phone, then the opposing team is awarded a point.
Very fun game when you have a few friends all sitting around with nothing better to do.

I will add an updated video and screen captures later.
If you have an idea for a new feature/changes, feel free to leave that feedback here. We are already working on new content for our next update, but we would love to hear how we can continue to make Catch Phrase Party a 5 star experience for you.
will it work on NODO?

Yes. The app is available for Nodo, but it will be stuck at version 1.2 until you update to Mango. This is standard for all apps. Mango users are currently getting updates for existing apps that Nodo users won't see until after they update to Mango. This just means by the time Mango is in the hands of the average user, more apps will be Mango ready.
Version 1.2 still has thousands of phrases, and is a solid app. People have been happy with it so far, 1.3 is just all the more awesome.
thanks for reply.
Anytime!
I hope you get a chance to try it out.
thank U......
So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.

Once again google ordering system as failed me. My all access music at 7.99 was doing fine billing to my T-Mobile account well not anymore it had a problem and where it could not renew and lost the special pricing within a few days. So I give up spent 2 hours trying to work with google to fix this and I can't ever get the pricing back. And my account renew last month fine.
Another even better issue is I have ordered about 30 nexus 4's and most were from the play store but at some point I found it cheaper to just order a replacement and I didn't have to pay tax saved like 30 bucks. I would just not send back the original wait to get billed. Well lets just say there is a about 3,000 dollars (I never paid for them I know) worth of phones just pending it's been like 6 months or more for most. I thought it had to do with a expired card which is not expired (this is related to the music all access problem I had to update card info) even with a brand new card orders still have not moved.
I'm done with paying google for any services they are too big to have such a stupid system.
Let me get this straight...
You ordered a few replacements and failed to send the original phones back to Google. At which point they kept billing you full price for the new phones they were sending you, accruing to "$3,000" that you still owe Google. Meanwhile, you don't understand why they will no longer honor your $7.99/month all access pricing after your last $7.99 payment failed. And in the end you are angry that Google can't get their "ordering" right?
Your logic is astounding...

fix YOUR own issues of not paying what YOU owe, or google isnt going to be the only one thats ignoring you.
Lol good that you are done with Google services. They deserve better buyers. Now pay what u owe Google before start whining again.

The update will be stuck with 51% for quite some time before proceeding. Just do not touch anything and go have a cup of coffee. and come back.

This happened to me on my first attempt. After 30 minutes, I just disconnected and reboot phone. That time, it was fine but no update. I tried again later and ended up having to run Rescue--which did work. On the 28.70-31-12 update (the LSMA itself had updated), it did hang at 51% but continued on after about 15 minutes. All seemed to be good as phone showed the new update (Feb). Then I discovered the baseband was gone or not being recognized. I also showed no IMEI so phone Smart Assistant could not run rescue. Getvar showed the IMEI but no baseband. I wasted time seeking help (trying to get an ota.zip I could adb sideload on my locked bootloader). I reluctantly ( refurbished doesn't appeal to me when I'd just bought the phone new) sent my 9 week old phone to warranty repair. I sent it Monday. They received it Tues and mailed a replacement on Tues. FedEx says I'll get it today. I don't care if 100,000 people used LSMA successfully, there is an issue with it. I won't use it again. Look at this thread.
