Odds are your problem is caused by you downloading those apps, since that's the number one way people get trojans on their phones.
Look, you paid at least $250 for your phone, and at least $70/month for service. I think you can afford a $0.99 app.

It was stated a few posts up that the person doesn't have a credit card. I agree that it would be nice for Google to enable buying apps by having them charged to your phone bill. Not everyone has access to a credit/debit card.
Just a note: you can use visa gift cards on the market with Google Checkout - I have. You have to register the card with the website so the name & address will be registered to the card, just like a debit card. The website is in the info that comes with the card. If you really wanted to buy an app, you could.
Every paid app should have a license check, in my opinion.
Open a free checking account and get a debit card? Pay for your apps please, it keeps android moving forward. I used to do the same thing as the OP, until I felt convicted by God not to so I deleted everything I had acquired and bought it all.
my dad paid for the phone and the bill
its not that i cant afford the 99 cent app
he just wont let me buy it with his credit card

As others mentioned, go to walmart and buy a prepaid credit card. Load it with like $25, and attach it to your google account. You can use it to buy apps. Alot of apps are going to be installable as they start using googles market verification to make sure you purchased it.

no, apps won't void your warranty, there is no way for sprint to check quickly and they wouldn't take the time to either, if the apps are to blame then sprint well say it was an app after they reset your phone to stock. then start over installing them and do it slowly so you can catch the one that gave you problems.
if your just worried that they are checking over the wireless and not in store then have no fear, they don't check for that

Yes, again, that doesnt matter. Get a prepaid credit card from walmart, or grow some balls and get your own bank account. STOP stealing apps for free, the dev's work very hard on these apps, and deserve to get paid for their work. Your excuse is just that, an excuse, because you are too lazy to tell your dad to screw off and get your own credit card, or pay for your OWN bill for pete's sake...

Harsh but true
+1
I surprised no one has stated the obvious lol. 99% of these apps have a free or 'light' counterpart; most of which usually are fully functional with ads.
Most kids(dkdude36 excluded for obvious reasons lol) don't NEED and ad free app, you saw free and went for it. Is what it is.
I will +1000 on the Google market needed to up their accessibility with pre-paid cards. I gave my 10yr old my Vibrant when I moved over to sprint and I wouldn't give her my account either. She's pretty smart but she would still buy random stuff not realizing it adds up. She is pretty happy about all her free apps though.
If you're under 18, kinda hard to open a bank account. But immensely simple to get a prepaid Visa or American Express gift card, next time you're at the mall or walmart (and if you're under 18, this will certainly be sooner rather than later ), just get one of those and exercise your freedom from your parents

It opens the app for your PIN when you set the phone on the terminal, you enter the PIN and place it back down, and it makes the sale. It initializes with NFC to know to accept the payment.
Slightly off topic, but did anyone receive a $10 credit after activating a Google Prepaid card on Google Wallet?
Imagine a credit/debit/giftcard that doesn't physically exist in your wallet but you can use it at certain stores to pay for things. That is what the big deal is.

You don't need a credit card just a bank account, with a debit card, like you would use to pay for somthing in the shop.
Phone your bank and ask about it, or open an account

Just be careful which bank you go to as some give you a 'Maestro' card (Yorkshire Bank in my case) and these are not accepted by Google's Play store. I use my Barclays current account for that, the card has the 'Visa' sign on it which works fine.
The alternative is to purchase one of those pre-paid credit cards where you top them up at your local PayPoint shop and use them like a normal credit card (upto whatever balance you have put onto the card). Google "pre-paid credit card". Incidentally, PayPoint is a UK thing but I'm certain there will be equivalents world wide where you can top these cards up (for the benefit of any non-UK reading this).
In Australia we have Visa debit card, where you basically have a savings account which can utilise Visa payment system. Being Visa, I'd imagine it would be available in other countries.

Go to http://wallet.google.com and add it there, it'll then show up in Play Store when you go to purchase.
You'll either have as 'Valid till' or 'Valid thru' date on the card, use that for the date field.

You can't use a debit/Interac card from a bank (CIBC, BMO, RBC, TD, etc) which links directly to your normal bank account. You can get a prepaid card from places like Money Mart however, which work just like the PayPoint one mentioned above. It looks just like a normal Mastercard/Visa, but you have to "deposit" (load) money onto it at Money Mart, or through an online bill payment with your normal bank, before you can use it. I had one of these as well before I was old enough for a real credit card.
I'm sure you have a Money Mart near you, if you don't understand my explanation here then you can go in to their store and ask them about it. I'm pretty sure they still have them. I think some of the banks also have similar cards but I'm not sure which ones. You could also ask your bank though, just go in to a branch or call them, and ask if they offer Visa/Mastercard prepaid debit cards.

Yeah, gift cards or prepaid credit cards are probably the least unwieldy solutions.
Another option: temporarily attach your CC to her Google account, buy the apps, and then remove the CC from her account. This way she should be able to get updates in the future but won't be able to initiate in-app purchases.

Q1. Which prepaid credit card do you advice? That's a good idea, I'll give her this for xMas. Is there any expiry in this system? (Must spend all funds before X days?)
Q2. In the mean time, I would like to take advantage of the 75% discount of the 25 billions campaign in Google Market which is running currently. Can you describe how to attach my CC to her Google account? Did you mean my existing Google Wallet or should I sign up her own Google Wallet but using my CC card? Afterward, how to remove?
EDIT: Please forget. I just tried to buy with her Google account, the Google Wallet form pops up, I signed up with my CC. I see in Google Wallet that it is possible to delete the CC info any time. So I think Q2 is now fully answered.
Sorry for all these silly questions. Hope you don't mind to explain a little bit more. Thanks
Just noticed you're in Canada. We have a more limited selection of prepaid credit cards here - most come with extra fees.
Another thought - now that VISA debit is available in Canada, you may be able to attach a debit card of her own to her Google Wallet. Then it's her responsibility to not overspend her own money Just be wary of overdraft fees.

You can also put a pin on the credit card info so that you can prevent anyone from using it without permission. I have done that on all of my kid's phones without issue.
Play Store/Settings/Set or change PIN

AHA, I knew there was a setting something like that but I'd forgotten where.
Nonetheless, I think if you attach your CC to her Google account, it still means that she can use her password to spend money with your card on the web Play Store in a browser. So that is not a perfect option.
You can attach a card to the play store, then secure it with a pin. This is what I do with my son. If he wants to get a game or purchase any add ons for his games he has to come to me and or mom in order to proceed. It works great. I also get and email notification for any purchases he makes so I'm always in the loop.

No any purchases in that play store account requires the use of the pin, if child doesn't have pin child can't purchase. If child finds work around and a way to crack it then parent has bigger problem than child buying apps.

Just tried it. I assigned a Play Store PIN to my GNex and checked that it must be used for purchases. Then I logged in from my laptop in the web browser, and purchased a 25 cent app to be sent to the same GNex. The purchase went through.
It would seem they need to implement PINs on the *server* end of the Play Store, not client.
Heck I went into settings and cleared Play Store data and that removed the purchase PIN too. This is clearly an honour system.
Pay for an app for someone as a gift. Or kids devices
You get two choices when you accept to buy an app on the device you want to install app on. You can pay or there is an option to send URL for payment to whoever via email. So send URL to yourself or whoever is going to pay via email which will auto pop up when you select... Send URL... .. I send to my Gmail account then click link on pc or phone and follow instructions to pay . Easy
Hi. Since I'm not rooted anymore, I figured I'd start setting up a mobile payment thingy. Anyone play around with the included ISIS or Softcard? I remember Google Wallet in the past, but I'm sure its much better now. Anyone try them both on the Note 4; and do you have a preference over the other? Thanks.
Edit: Claimed a bunch of $20 Amazon gift cards on Softcard for October. I'm now on a Tmobile Note 4 (rooted) so I can't use Softcard anymore. I guess Google Wallet is the way to go now...
I've been using Wallet since I for this phone and it works really well. I prefer wallet because I can load just what I want to my Google account and not use my debit card.
I've yet to see Softcard used in my area. As it is right now, only my local Walgreens uses gWallet, so neither is really useful for in-store purchases.
So why does the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have an app on my new phone? I haven't opened it to see what is is...

I dont think you need a special sim cause its included onto our Note 4's and easily downloaded from the PlayStore.
Here's a great reason to use Softcard. You get a $1 per tap up to $50 a month. It started in July and runs through the end of the year. All said, I'll have pocketed $300. Not counting the first time $50 sign-up bonus. Wallet's a solution looking for a problem and a cluster of an app UX wise.

There is a new sim that's required for softcard. It's called a "secure element" sim kinda like chip the Note 2 & other phones had built in to work with NFC. Now the NFC works with your sim's secure element so just stop in a store & ask then to swap your old micro sim for the new one.

I just used google wallets tap to pay yesterday for the first time ,and it work flawlessly at mcdonalds, I used it with my debit card. I think tap to pay is an amazing and convenient way to pay and it goes beyond just being secure its also safer at a POS. I myself work at gas station, i help hundreds of people a day who are constantly on their phones, whether it be in hand texting or making a call. When it comes to making your purchase at a POS you have to (most likely 9/10 people have their phones in hand already) put your phone down ( again most people will put their phone on the counter), pull out your wallet, find the card in our tightly packed wallets people have with all the cards we carry now a days. Swipe your card on the POS, put it back in your wallet, and HOPE you remember to pick up your phone and walk out with all your belongings. Where as with a Tap to Pay device, your phone being in your hand already, you load up your app or if you device already recognizes the POS, It will already have a credit/debit card preselected and just hover it over the POS and bam done. No having to dig out your wallet, leaving your stuff on the counter. Which means less potential to leave your phone or wallet behind, or even someone one just swiping it off the counter when your not paying attention.

What you're describing applies to mobile payments in general. The only difference between Softcard and Google Wallet is the card's you can associate to them. Anywhere you can use one you can use the other.
Speaking of which, Rite Aid and CVS just deactivated their NFC networks to join Walmart, Best Buy, Target and others in MCX which is merchant sponsored and barcode based. With AT&T, VZW, T-Mobile, and a bunch of banks sponsoring Softcard, merchants with three trillion in revenue sponsoring MCX, and Apple and a bunch of banks sponsoring Apple Pay,
Google's pretty much on their own with wallet. If Google can't control what third parties do with Android their ability to dictate to merchants and the financial industry what to do with mobile payments sure ain't going to be any easier.

I tried using Isis/SoftCard, but it wouldn't take any of my regular cards! I had to use American Express, or sponsored banks. So I called American Express thinking that their prepaid card was one that charges your actual card when a payment goes through. No. You have to load the card, then use the card on SoftCard. For me, this is a waste of time. So then I used Goggle Wallet which accepted all my cards in a hurry, and I've been using it ever since! And I mean, c'mon, what Google product doesn't out perform some off-brand?

I do not have any cards that support this app natively. So for me, it's not worth the hassle of signing up for a new card with American Express, loading the card, then using it with SoftCard every time I wish to make a purchase.
You don't have to specifically load the Amex Serve card to use it. Once you sign up for it you link a debit card to it. When you use the phone to tap and pay, the funds get transferred from your debit card to the Serve card and then to the retailer. So the retailer never sees your debit card, just the Amex Serve card number. It's very easy to use, and like the person above said you get $1 back per purchase through the end of the year. I have also made over $300 back through the program. Been using it since April with the Galaxy S5 and now on my Note 4.
