Just wanted to let everyone know that Slingplayer for tablets is half off. Regularly priced 29.99, now priced at 14.99. Looks great on my Nexus 7 and Xoom. Quality and controls way better than the phone version. Good way to spend some of your 25.00 Google Play dough.

I really need to bite the bullet and buy a Sling box. I watch only 3 channels though :silly:
Definitely worth it if you love sports. NHL package on the go

Sling player for phones crashes/hangs on the nexus 7 here...
If your in uk, checkout tvcatchup beta apk http://tvcatchup.com/android.html

Dish (which owns sling now) dropped AMC so I won't buy this. Even at $15 it seems too much, on top of this I read elsewhere that its restricted to one device. Can't be installed other Andoid devices.

I can't speak for the Tablet version, but I have the Phone version installed on multiple Android devices.

What you can't do is watch on multiple devices simultaneously. No other restrictions at least AFAIK.
The tablet version works very nicely on my new Nexus. But I'm glad for the Play Store credit + sale.
I hate that I've already payed for my SlingBox and still have to pay for an app. An expensive one at that.

Ah. Gotcha. -- I only have a single SlingBox PRO-HD so I never ran into a condition trying to use the application on multiple devices simultaneously.
I just purchased the Tablet version too with the Play Store Credit. Works great on the N7!

Glad I got my Slingbox for FREE!!! I haven't used it in months, but I may have to try it out again. I'm usually always home, so I don't need to use it much...I might even actually buy the app for $15, I didn't buy it at $30...haha
Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

Haha, well thanks for letting me know.
If I wasn't out of thanks for the day I would hit it.
i constantly read xda forum for whatever device i have but rarely post. But I had to post a reply to this. I purchased a LGOG about a week ago from BB and no one mentioned headset. i ran out during my lunch break to BB and picked it up. No questions asked...in/out in about 10min. Thanks XDA
i bought my phone on january 2nd and just called them about this, they thought i was crazy and had no recollection of it even when i told them how to find the link offer and they were looking at it they said i was SOL

Maybe try going in to the store and show them the link and ask if they will match the offer.
Go to the mobile section.
Sorry.

^^This^^
I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

okay, I got my parents to say I can go tomorrow or friday so is the music quality any good, or should I stick with my $100 wired headphones, and just sell it for other stuff I want to get?
Just stopped into my local BB they are out but there are some on the truck. Holding one for me when they put out the stock. Manager knew about the offer. Was way cool about it. Love best buy!

Bought my LGOG on 12/22, went in today and asked about the headset, the BB guy couldn't find the ad online, so I brought it up on my phone from the link here in the forums. He said OK no problem. Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:
Figured I would pass this along here in the S5 forum for anyone interested.....
Today only (5/16) go to Amazon Appstore and just to the right of the FAOTD there is a banner for 8 free "photo" apps. Go to this and click to install each one. You don't actually have to install them can just hit cancel after it downloads. For each of these apps you get 100 free coins so doing all will give you at least 800 coins ($8.00 for apps).
Then, go to the Amazon app store on your PC and log in. Go to Kindle apps and search for GTA: San Andreas app. Unless you have a Kindle the app will not be compatible with all your devices but will let you purchase it anyways. The app is $6.99 (699 coins) but with purchase you get 2000 Amazon coins ($20 worth). So you can use the 800 coins from earlier to buy the app and then get another 2000 more.
Now you have $20+ to spend on apps without ever spending a dime. :highfive:
Thanks for the tip worked great!!

The 8 apps are today only I believe. The GTA deal is good until sometime in June. I'll have to look a bit later to verify.

Excelent!
BTW for the GTA game:
Where's my app?
Kindle Fire tablets: Access quick settings → Sync then go to Apps → Cloud to see your newly purchased app to download and install.
All other Android devices: Open the Amazon Appstore on your device, then go to Menu → My Apps → Cloud → Refresh to see your newly purchased app to download and install.
I've added the Play Store and Play Services from this post

Anyone have gotten the Amazon Underground app to work. I've tried downloading it from the app store and it doesn't install. Tried downloading the apk and still doesn't install. I removed the Amazon shopping app with titanium and tried downloading and still won't install. Anyone know how to get the Amazon underground app to install?
Don't think it's possible. Certainly Amazon don't think so. If you fire off an email lamenting this fact they'll give you 5000 coins to spend on the appstore.

Sadly you may have missed the boat on that. Which is a shame as the 5000 coins are preferable to the ad ridden guff on underground. Maybe straight up demand the coins on the basis that others have received them?

As the title states.. Just to pass the time and have some fun while we all wait impatiently for our new phones. What will you be using your $50 Play Credit on.
Any awesome apps that are worth spending the credit on? Gems in clash of clans? Etc.
I plan on saving it for something a little more lasting than gems in a game. I'm thinking books, music or movies. Maybe an app or two if I find one I like. I usually get at least $1 a month using the Google Opinion Rewards app.
You can probably buy three Squeenix games with that money. ?

Hopefully trading it in for $35-40 Google Wallet so that I can buy a case and USB cable from the Google store.
DO UK customers not get this offer?
I'll just keep it for paid apps/games I see over time. I don't do the IAP free to play games.
can we get a chromecast with it?

This. Because I almost never buy anything in the Play store.
Save it to buy FF7 lol the rest probably rent movies here and there for the kids when I need a break.

I want to buy music albums from some bands with my Play Store credit
Good topic! Mostly movies and games for my 3 rug rats
I think google should have given the 50 credit for google pay to help boosting the usage.
They were gonna go to My Little Pony gems until Amazon came out with an "actually free" version in Amazon Underground lol
Likely movies. Maybe an odd game or app here or there (not IAPs, just the actual things). Don't need music, already subscribe to All Access.
i will buy an other nexus .. LOL
Buy the Pewdipie's game, haha.
Buy one of the new chromecasts i think... the store shows that i can use play balance to pay for devices when i go to check out..
I'd that's possible then I'll be using mine for a chromecast.. Or perhaps for a speck case

I think its only limited to games,, movies, apps, etc and not devices. If it includes devices then that would be awesome.
