Android Market - 2 phones 1 account ?

Sorry for the nooby question, im new to android.
If i have 2 android phones, can i setup 1 google account and install the apps i purchase on both phones or can you only install them on 1 phone ?

You can install ur payed apps on both phones as long as you use the same google account

show off lol

For the most part, that is true.
However, some apps (e.g. Copilot) have separate activation, and will only allow you to install on one device.

True. But on the other hand most apps remain installed and work just fine even after you change your gmail login account

speaking of the Android Market dose anyone know when the new iteration shown at the Google I/O will be released?

Using apps on 2 same-account androids
I have an Android phone, and recently got a tablet, and wanted to install the apps I purchased on the tablet as well. I have the g-mail account info set up the same on both devices. When I go to the Marketplace and try to download the application I have on my android phone, I am only given the wonderful opportunity to buy the program again.
I contacted the developer, who told me that I would indeed have to buy it again to use it on a different device.
? am I doing something wrong here? I don't want to have to re-purchase apps which I already own on 1 device...
HELP!

I believe in the US only atm

So just to clarify, this is the GoogleMusic app fully working in the UK? I thought the service was currently US only? How do you upload files if the PC client only allows US connections?

The application will work on any device but the actual music beta service is US only unless they extend it to other countries. I'm using the app and its really good and has a widget too unlike the stock player you just lose the lockscreen and notification controls.

Just to confirm, you can also get the Google Music service to work in the UK. There is a workaround. I've had it running for about a year now.

Yeah i've been using google play music for about a year or so and i'm from UK, i download a programme called TOR to help me get access to google play music.
Basically when you log into play music with your details it only takes the IP address of the first log-in and stores that.
So TOR lets u use an IP address from US to log-in to play music once that is done you can log-in any time any where . . . such a sweet programme.
download TOR and then search for instructions on how to do it . . shudn't be hard to find

I think that works the same way it does on computers. Depending on your network.
So maybe there's a similar trick to bypass this as you can do with a computer using a proxy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE : Just had a look on Google and didn't find anything related to your specific problem but there are plenty of people having troubles with the market and the non-availability of some apps in their country. Some managed to solve this using a US-based VPN. Maybe you should try that.

Could try a proxy

The MoreLocale 2 app (available in the Play store) does exactly what you're looking for. I needed it to change from US(canada) to US(us) for the Amazon music app.

Books / Movies / Magazines to non-US residents

\Hello,
My parents were in the US for a while, so they bought me a Nexus 7.
They also bought one for each of them and theirs were activated while in america, so they have magazines, movies and books working when they got back.
For me the only thing working is Play Music but, since it works, made me wonder if it is possible to get movies/books/magazines working...
It has to be possible..
Have anyone done that already?
If so, how?
Thank you!

In the UK?

Music is still a grey area but should work, no problem with books or movies, magazines not so much.

I use a vpn for this and switch off the gps and location services......works 99% of the time.....im in ireland

How does it work out in terms of billing? Does it go through all right?

I use Zinio. It has a much better magazine selection and is available worldwide, I think. It does work in Canada.

I set up my nexus 7 this way, put irish credit card on it and got the play credit on my google account.

I was wondering the same thing i heardu can unlock them but u cant buy anything, atleast not in Canada.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium App

I also recommend Zinio. Usually have some good special on magazine subscriptions too.
I got the Books to work using a VPN. I was able to download a couple of free ones. Didn't try buying any but I presume it would work if you get the US Play Store working through a VPN.

Using DroidVPN and Market Enabler you can access the US Play Store, but without a US credit card you cannot purchase anything from movies/books/magazines/music (even if it's free!) So maybe if you can get a prepaid US credit card it will work but I'm not sure..

Great ideas.
Thank you, guys.

I used this method to buy stuff from Google Play: http://goo.gl/mHhY8
In short, use VPN to access the Google Play, either through the web or the app. I personally use Hide My Ass! and Super Free VPN to buy books and music.
Once I bought them I can access the contents without VPN.

What apps are you looking forward to on your Galaxy Watch?

I can not wait for a working Philips Hue app. I am checking the Gear store every few days. A few have been added since but there are either issues with it working on and off or the Widget not working. I need the widget!
Also, a Samsung Multiroom speaker update for Tizen 4! I searched this up before getting the Galaxy Watch and it looks like there is one for Tizen 3 but nothing for Tizen 4 yet.... Boo
What are you waiting for?

Yeah, it's frustrating to see so many apps available for WearOS that are not available on Tizen. I have the LTE enabled Galaxy Watch and would love to be able to leave my phone behind at home sometimes and still have access to the functionality of my favorite apps. Hoping these app developers start getting us some content on Tizen! Here's my wish list: Alert360, Amazon Music, Uber, Lyft, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Skype for Business, Google Maps.

I thought I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the watch but with many devs not updating their apps, the app list for the Galaxy watch is less than the already sparse Gear S3!
The Spotify app is pretty good so my local music needs are fulfilled but apps like Skype, SfB and Uber would be an excellent addition to the watch.
WhatsApp, I can do with the replying to notifcations. I don't need to look through previous convos.
Google Maps, I paid £1 for a companion app. Works really well for turn by turn navigation. It dosn't give you the birds eye view but it guides very very well and hasn't failed me yet. Start a journey on Google Maps (On your phone) and it will auto start the compantion app on the watch. Its called "Gear Navigation". Free app for watch but paid app app on Google Play.
Having Uber on my wrist.. Might make it too easy!

I think there is an Uber app for Tizen now

Having just transferred from gear s3 to Galaxy watch, ALL my apps (and they are a lot) that were bought for the gear (tizen3) now work for Galaxy watch (tizen4). There is a Phillips hue app in the store and an Uber app too also for Galaxy watch. You may need to change your country store to USA to see them all (there is a topic for this under the gear forum). The Uber app only though works only with a Samsung phone.

I would like to get a podcast app.
Spotify don't have podcasts on the watch app.. Why, just why?..
Audible would be another app, then I can leave my phone @ home.

I believe Tizen has a bigger market share than WearOS now, surely developers will notice?

I talked with customer service at Audible.
They have an app for the apple watch.
I sugested that they make an app for the Galaxy watch too.
They thanked me and forwarded the request.
If there are more Audible customers here, it will probably help if you did the same.
Chat with them here: https://www.audible.com/contactus?n1=something_else&n2=other

Is there any application that I can use for remotely turn on or off Wi-Fi, flash light, sound... On my Samsung device from my Galaxy watch? I think there was some application on Gear S3 but I cannot remember how it calls....

That's the one I looking for. Thanks ?

Personally, I just want an app that stores notification history so that I can access old messages. There is 1 old app called NWS that does this but it drains the watch battery like MAD (5% per hour just from this app).
I am getting so frustrated by the lack of this simple feature that I will either make the app myself or return the watch.

I can't seem to find how to change my store country to US. Can you give me a link or tell me how I can do it? There are two apps which I want from the US country store: Spotify and Twitter Trends.

Hi, please see below, this is one of the several threads on the subject, basically you need a vpn app on your phone to produce a US IP address and the Sim card removed:

Thanks. I've tried it as you said without the sim card and it worked flawlessly. All that's left now is to find more apps to download
