[Q] Buying Apps in Android Market

So I rooted my phone and now running Pay's ROM 2.0. I installed MarketAccess to enable paid apps but I am hesitating on buying apps. Do i really need to input billing address to buy paid apps or using my card will do? My worry is my billing address and
Please help clarify.
Thanks in advance!

As with all online orders, you have to input your billing address in addition to your credit card details.
Don't need to worry if your billing address is a country not approved for Google Market paid apps. It doesn't affect anything.
It's not like Apple's iTunes store where you must have a US billing address to access the US store. (Btw, I've figured out a way around this, if anyone is interested!)

Thanks for clarying!

shazam - anyone been able to get their unlimited tagging back?

as someone who downloaded shazam in the market before they started charging for it, i always had unlimited tagging with the free version of the app...and it always carried between whatever ROMs i had installed on any given day.
since upgrading to the nexus, i can't get it to give me unlimited back. i tried restoring a titanium backup from my incredible, that also didn't work. still waiting to hear back from their support team on it...
has anyone who was grandfathered into the old shazam app gotten unlimted tagging to work?

I had the same problem, but fortunately I bought Soundhound when it was .10 for the 10 billion download sale.

I've had soundhound for a while now, got it when it was the free app of the day on amazon. If I would've known this was gonna happen though, I would've bought shazam encore when it was 10 cents. I very much prefer shazam.
Has anyone been able to get unlimited tagging working?

They actually just responded to my email outlining how to get it transferred to the new device...I'll post it here for anyone who might need it. I'm going to email them later tonight with my info, we shall see if they honor their own policy.

I've received a new Android handset, can I transfer my free/unlimited app to my new handset?
Users who’ve downloaded and setup the free Shazam app prior to the 13th July 2010 can now keep their unlimited tagging status when switching to a new Android device. Note, users who purchase Shazam Encore can re-download Shazam Encore from the Android Market free as long as they use the same Google account on their new device.
To keep your unlimited tagging status, follow the steps below.
1) Note down the IMEI number of the Android device which had Shazam installed with unlimited tagging.
Trouble finding your IMEI? • If you still have the original device, the IMEI number can be found under Android Settings> About Phone> Status > IMEI. • The IMEI will be printed on a label on the device, usually under the battery. • Your carrier may also give you this information from their records if you have sold your device or lost it. • It may also be found located in/on the handset's original packaging.
2) Launch Shazam on your new device and click on Settings>About Shazam
3) Click the email address link ([email protected]). This will open up a pre-populated support email (containing your current MEID/IMEI) using your preferred email client.
4) Change to Subject text to “Android: Transfer Unlimited Tagging”
5) At the bottom of the mail, enter the IMEI number of your old device which was granted unlimited tagging.
6) Select Send
If our records indicate you were granted unlimited tagging on your old IMEI, we will transfer the same status over to your new device. Please note: Your old device will be reverted back to limited user status.

Not that this is of any help but I always thought that feature was tied to your google market account. I would have shazam grandfathered installed to multiple devices and all would show unlimited tagging. Did they recently change it? Not that shazam (non encore) shows up in my market for me anyways.

[Q] Activation Code on Lumia 900 - Not Requested?

I just got a new Lumia 900 (I love it!). To my surprise, While setting it up, I was not asked for the activation code (on another phone, it was always asked, and the one associated with my live account was always accepted). Is this normal? the fact is that I can get to the market place, download apps, but whenever I try to get to my account settings on the windowsphone web site, an error ("ooops, cannot go to this page presently, try later...") comes up, so I cannot reinstall the apps I had purchased previously (through the web page or the Reinstaller app).
Again, is this normal? if not, What can I do to have access to my old apps? thank you

i am using Lumia 900 and i moved from HD7 to this, just used my Windows Live ID, did not ask me any activation code???? i am in singapore...
And i LOVE this phone as well, best phone ever..

WP7 phones typically do not ask for activation code unless something goes wrong with your live ID. I have never been asked any activation code for all four of my WP7 phones.

nice
nice live....

I don't think they allow re-download paid apps onto another phone (which literally means you paid once for two users).

They do. IIRC, it is up to 5 phones at the same time. They all have to sign in to the same Live ID which means you have to share live contacts, calendar and email among those phones. Android is the similar (not sure about iOS but it probably is the same).

Correct. For the OP, hard reset your phone and try again. Login with the same Windows ID you used to download/purchase the apps the first tine and they will all be available.
Btw, for paid apps, there will be an option to purchase. Don't be afraid to click it. If you previously purchased the app, it will ask if you want to redownload. If you didn't purchase previously, if will ask you to confirm.

Any altrentative from Google pay?

I live in an unsupported country (Cyprus)
I am trying to make Google pay to work, i saw a lot of people from uk come here and pay with apple pay!
I found that revolut card is supported on apple pay and on google pay but there is a catch you can add your card if you live in UK Germany etc rather that Apple pay there was support for apple pay!
I found.boon Germany alternative app but I wasn't able to transfer money from my card
is there any way to make Google pay work in my country?; or at least find an alternative app?
I am 16 and most of my friends does carry wallet but I hate using it and most of the time I forget it home with my card inside.... rather if there is an app, or make Google pay work in my country I will be able to pay with it without trying to find my wallet; is such a pain trying to find my wallet or coming home to get it because I forgot it

If your card is issued in Germany, you can use VPN to change your Google account to Germany (or just create a new account and keep both logged in on your phone), and then add that card to G Pay on your German account.
If it is bot issued in Germany, boon in the only option I've heard about.
