[Q] How does buying and downloading apps from Getjar work? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you download an app is it added to your account so you can download it later? If so is it linked to your Facebook account or something? I'm not sure I understand how their system works.
Thanks all

I don't think you can purchase apps through GetJar, I always get redirected to the Market. The paid apps that they offer in their promotion for free aren't tied to anything that I know of, so once the promotion is over you can't download them for free again. I just download the ones that I might like or that I think my nephew would like to play and save the apk. All of the good ones I've already purchased or got from Amazon for free.
I haven't linked my Facebook account though, so I could be entirely wrong.

I think you are correct. It seems they are tied to nothing.

Market account ...

Hi,
How does the Market account work?
I meant, when you have a new Android phone, you setup an account, Google Checkout so you can buy some apps from Market.
Now, when you bought a second phone ... can you use the same Google Checkout account? So, you can re-download all the apps that you bought in the phone1 to this new phone.
I am asking this to anticipate the new upcoming Android tablets I really hate if I must re-purchase all the apps
Thanks
I think it's one account per phone. Don't quote me on that though.

Currently, there is nothing stopping you downloading your paid apps to a second device linked to the same account. That may change of course, especially with the new licensing service, but it is certainly the case for now.

Dave

[Q] ROM Manager reinstall

Hey guys, I'm kind of at a loss here. I bought ROM Manager Premium on 9/2 and shortly after I bought it I lost my phone and was shipped a new one. The problem is that I can't reinstall ROM Manager Premium even though the purchase is listed in my "Google Checkout" list and the first google account I set up on my phone was the account associated with this purchase. I've sent several messages to Koushik (December 30th, January 7th and January 17th -- I'm not spamming him or anything) but have not heard anything back from him.
Does anyone know of another way to regain the features I've already paid for? It is a great app, and well worth the price, but I can't afford to buy it each time I wipe or replace my phone. Somehow the market is broken.
Thanks in advance!
Have you dowloaded both the premium license and the free application from the market? The premium license is just a key, you still need the application to get the features.
Hey John, I don't have an option to download the license. In the market I only see Rom Manaer and Rom Manager Premium. If I select Premium it tries to bill me $5 again.
Download free version and install from market, download the rom manager file from your gmail and install that, the one in your gmail is the licensing file to upgrade the free version to full version.
You would have received more help regarding this if you posted in Q&A
If you are certain you used the same google account both times, it is a google issue not a developer issue. I don't know how to contact the people responsible for the market, but google does have an extensive help site. A quick search yeiled this article with a few items to try: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=0da4dcf702dbb2d2&hl=en
Are you logged into google talk with the same google account? For some reason there is a link between the Accounts, Market, and Talk...
If that does not work, IDK... I've never had an issue with the purchased apps repopulating...

IMO I think it is appropriate to ask a question about the market which is an app and a purchased app in a forumn titled "Themes and Apps."

Seems to me that Q&A would be more suited to something like "What is rom manager?" than a problem I'm having with the apps market and rom manager but to each their own...
Unfortunately I don't have the email with the file any more and there is no option to resend it.

New google account

I've recently had to make a new google account due to my email constantly getting signed up for spam. Adding mail filters to block it just got old.
Is there a chance to convice sprint to take repeat app purchases off my bill? I could just back up the paid apps but I want to be able to update them. I have abut $40 in paid apps I use daily.

Update to the newest market, and add both gmails to the phone. You can select different gmails with the new market. New market is on the first page of the general section usually.

Already have the new market but I wasn't aware of this feature. Thanks!

New Google account..

Can I transfer my paid apps from my old account to the new account??
No but you can login to your Android device with multiple Google accounts so you can still install your paid apps

I don't think so, maybe you can contact the developer of your paid app.

I deleted my google account at one point and made a new one, after realizing I had purchased a ton of apps, it was just a waste to try to contact every dev because half of them don't even respond most of the time. Either use the old one, or if you deleted it already get it restored and save yourself a major headache.
Yea, I ended up restoring it. Thanks guys.

Dropbox 50 For 2 Years Offer

When I first received my SM-P600 I remember tapping on the Dropbox app and something came up about signing up the offer. At the time I was still exploring the tablet so I just exited out of the app. Now when I launch Dropbox it just wants me to sign into Dropbox or create an account... nothing about the free offer. I looked over the original email I received from Samsung about all the free stuff that came with the tablet and for Dropbox they just said to launch the application. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get my free Dropbox?

I just created an account and after I signed in I only have 2GB. Any idea who to contact about this? I'm guessing Dropbox won't know anything. Maybe Samsung technical support but I'm not very hopeful.

When you sign into the website you should see "Get Free Space" at the top click on it. It'll give you some steps to get the free 50GB but I think the only thing that really matters is installing the program on your computer.
Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Yea, I logged into the email account that I used when signing up for Dropbox and it contained an email directing me to the Dropbox website where they had seven items listed. You had to complete 3 (maybe 4) of the seven.
Somewhat disappointing you have to jump through hoops to get what Samsung promised but it wasn't too bad. Wow Dropbox really does what you recommending their services to family and friends. Guess that's how you grow.
I've never really had a cloud based service before so it will be interesting seeing how it fits my workflow. I really like to upload all my digital photos, videos, books, and music but especially with RAW files for photos and digital video the space requiremens really go up. For me I'd need about 3TB. Google drive is cheaper than Dropbox but still, 4TB is $200/month. Really would add up fast. I guess cloud storage is like insurance, you hate paying for it but if something happens you'll miss your digital media when it's gone forever.
Thanks again for all your answers.
Okay dropbox is good but I prefer copy.com
The free 50gb Dropbox from samsung is okay. however if you have multiple samsung devices that comes with free dropbox they wont add up.
I have a Note 2, Note 3, Note 10.1 and Note 10.1 2014, so I should have a total of 200gb right? Wrong!
Below is the email support I got from Dropbox

Hi Glen,
Thanks for contacting Dropbox Support, and I sincerely apologize for the delay.
Unfortunately, multiple promotions of the same type cannot be stacked on one account. When your current promotion expires you will be unable to tie another instance of that promotion type to your account.
We cannot redeem multiple credits for one account, but you are welcome to give the credit to a friend or family member so that they can redeem the promotional space. They can do so by logging into their account from the eligible device.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Best,
Stephanie
