    Awesome, now my friends can stop complaining about the lack of games on my phone! :D

  • AzzaD on 07/12/2011 - 11:39

    hmm I haven't got an Android phone right now (waiting for the Nexus on a plan), anyone know of a way to buy these apps with my google account to get them later? I get this message when I try -
    "There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account."My dad does have a Galaxy S, would I be able to buy with his account and transfer them over later?Cheers anyone who can help me out

    • netsurfer on 07/12/2011 - 11:48

      Ask your dad to let you login/sign in to Google Market using your google account (so the phone will appear on your Google account). Then you can purchase the apps for later use. Your dad can then login with his account again.

      • AzzaD on 07/12/2011 - 11:52

        great thanks, thought that would be the way to do it, just wasn't totally sure

        • netsurfer on 07/12/2011 - 14:40

          Watch out though. The way it works… if you were to purchased the app. using a Web browser. It has the ability to push the appps. to your mobile. So:

          1. Please let your dad knows that he might be getting some apps. pushed to him.
          2. Ask him not to uninstall the app. too quickly (otherwise, it may be deemed as a refund request) - which means you will lose the app purchase.

      SwiftKey X ruleth the keyboard world

    • AncientWisdom on 07/12/2011 - 12:55

      I rather Swype, but each to his own.
      You can download the free version and try it out although for 10cents why bother.

    • oswade on 07/12/2011 - 14:56

      it's pretty weak

    • SydStrand on 07/12/2011 - 15:43

      Completely different. You do need to break in both of them before they get used to your vocab but once done, it's good. If you prefer pure speed, then Swype, but Swiftkey is better for prediction.

    • scotty on 07/12/2011 - 16:18

      Depends on whether you are a swiper or a typer. Swype is good if you like to swipe on your phone, but if you like thumb type, SwiftKey would be the one to get.

    • neonlight on 07/12/2011 - 12:13

      I heard you purchase an app for say $0.99 your credit card bill will charge you extra eventhough you have no Transaction fees

      • browser on 07/12/2011 - 12:48

        The extra charge is probably preauthorisation which will go away after a few days.

    • dvsbastard on 07/12/2011 - 12:17

      There have been people suggesting that if you are purchasing apps too quickly (too close to a previous purchase), they are being rejected. Space out your purchases over a couple of mins and you should be fine!

      • jono_100 on 07/12/2011 - 12:38

        Yeah I just called the Comm bank and the guy said its the system rejecting it because all it sees is 10c charges from Google multiple times in a short time period. He said just wait a few minutes between purchases

      • nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 14:15

        Yup, that happened to me this morning when I bought and downloaded them too fast!

  • fLaMePrO on 07/12/2011 - 13:19

    A bit confused here. Can't buy the apps from the web store because it says my device is incompatible even though it's perfectly fine (HD2). But if I go into the market through my phone, all the apps are listed at full price.

    How can I make the purchase? :s

    • d3ft on 07/12/2011 - 13:43

      I had the same issue. I'm assuming it's due to the fact the HD2 doesn't officially support Android. I had no trouble purchasing them through the market straight to my phone though.

      • fLaMePrO on 07/12/2011 - 20:29

        And you got the promotional price? I don't know why mine isn't working :S

        • d3ft on 08/12/2011 - 08:59

          Yer they show up at full price in the market but when you click buy the transaction screen shows $0.10

        • nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 14:17

          I think it is because of the download size limit that is in Galaxy S. Are you using the latest version of Android Market? They might have lifted the limit there..

        • jono_100 on 07/12/2011 - 15:22

    • nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 14:17

      Just buy from the Market's website?

      • netsurfer on 07/12/2011 - 14:45

        Does that work? I have multiple Android devices.. and on some apps. it will only let me buy if I picked what Google thinks is a compatible device (even though I know it will work fine with my Liquid MT).

      • fLaMePrO on 07/12/2011 - 20:35

        The website is what blocks you from making the purchase, because it checks to see what phone you have tied to your account. The market app on the phone itself does not do this. But when I look for the app on there, it is coming up with the full price instead of 10c :(

  • lgchuson on 07/12/2011 - 13:44

    Thanks for the find!

  • moooooooo on 07/12/2011 - 13:48

    I'm about to buy an Android phone but won't have it until next week. It appears there's no way to buy an app from Android Market without having the device yet. Is that correct? I know some folks here buy apps via iTunes without an iOS device yet, and wondering if that's possible with Android.

    • nanoronline on 07/12/2011 - 14:18
      +2

      If you can log into Android Market's website using a Google account, then you will just have to try signing in from an Android phone first, then log out and buy them from the website.

      • moooooooo on 07/12/2011 - 16:06

        Okay, thanks. I'll try and find a friend with an Android device. I'm surrounded by iOS folks at the moment.

    • SydStrand on 07/12/2011 - 15:29

      Borrow a friend's phone, log into you Google (Gmail) account and buy the lot. You don't have to install, you'll just buy the licenses and can install them any time via your Google account when you do buy an Android phone.

    Heads up people looking to download ADW Launcher!!

    ADW EX normally runs about $3.32 and if you were thinking about rushing to the Android Market to download it right now — DON’T. Mr. Webs made mention today that his app will be one of Google’s features “10 cent apps” in the coming days, making ADW EX an even better value than it was before. Until then, you can check out the full list of changes in version 1.3.3.5 below.

      Go Launcher EX is better. why bother with ADW :S

      • toomuchdogfur on 07/12/2011 - 23:20

        To each their own - I personally use ADW as Go Launcher messes up my layouts when I choose to have more rows of icons. It doesn't have auto-fit for home screen items so some items overlap or have crappy spacing when I do this.

        No problem with ADW though!

    Great deals. Shame you can't just add the lot to the cart and pay as one. Now I'm going to have a whole line of 10c transactions on my next bill…

    EDIT: Yeah, and now my orders are on-hold, probably due to some security measure that locks down your card if it detects multiple minor transactions. Google should really get around to implementing a shopping cart.

  • kctt on 07/12/2011 - 15:52

    It would cost Google money to sell apps at 10 cents as credit card transaction fee is more expensive than 10 cents.

    • SydStrand on 07/12/2011 - 15:54
      +1

      I'm sure they're taking a hit with this as they're probably reimbursing the devs. Still, it's a better 10 billionth app promotion than the Apple one when they just gave one person a $10,000 iTunes giftcard.

      • neonlight on 07/12/2011 - 20:32

        lol yea cause they are stingy annd rely on marketing and delaying products ontheir timeline. Slowly release incremental updates for profits. Its a scheme, you can't blame why there are anti-Apple out there. This bargain for celebration is heaps better than 1 person getting iTunes card.
        It helps promote Apps and gain recognition

      • toomuchdogfur on 07/12/2011 - 23:22

        I didn't even think about this until you mentioned it. And it is so very true! It's a much better celebration when everyone is invited!

  • murkywater on 07/12/2011 - 16:04

    Having trouble ordering these :(

    Called commonwealth and was told I can have 1 transaction of the same amount per minute from the same business (i.e. google), else it'll get declined.

    Tried in a minute, and they're still being put on hold.

    Pretty weird and disappointing. No one else is having issues?

  • Dbuiz on 07/12/2011 - 16:09

    For people trying to get these apps without a 'compatible device' one workaround which isn't ideal is to buy it off the Amazon App Store which is also matching the Android market deal with 10c for these apps. No check on device compatibility

    • dvsbastard on 07/12/2011 - 16:18

      Is it possible to buy from the Amazon App Sore with an Australian credit card?

      (Last I checked it wasn't possible…)

    • SydStrand on 07/12/2011 - 16:45

      Amazon Appstore updates like shit. Only thing I use it for are the occasionally good daily free apps. Better off just finding a way to get these apps from Android's store.

  • dealman on 07/12/2011 - 16:42

    • rbaraz on 07/12/2011 - 16:45

      You can always use your account on her phone and install them then.

        I did think about that…
        I know I could but that would mean complications in email and other stuff, she would always have to log in to my account in the market to install new apps etc..

        For the convenience and independence 1 $ for 10 apps is nothing..

        buit I had a bit of a problem,
        Google will not allow me to buy the apps on her account since she does not have an android phone yet?

        Any one found a work around to how to buy a Market app without a phone ?

        • scotty on 07/12/2011 - 17:47
          +4

          Android Market has been able to do multiple accounts for a while (at least on all my Gingerbread and Honeycomb devices). However multiple accounts is system-wide, i.e. not specific to Market.

          So you need to add your wife's Google account to your phone, go to Market and choose your wife's account, buy those apps, and then remove her account from your phone. She would have those apps when she finally get her own Android phone.

      • dealman on 07/12/2011 - 18:16

        Hi Scotty,
        My market doesn't let me change usernames,

        Any idea how to update the android market?

        It is supposed to update automatically but it hasn't happened on mine,
        Can you change accounts in your Android market ?

        Also I could not reply to your post there , some pb with Ozbargain not allowing me to reply to a moderators post I think…

        • atlas on 08/12/2011 - 00:53

          Have you tried hitting the option key whilst in the Market? then select my account.

        • dealman on 08/12/2011 - 17:05

          Update to all guys ,
          if you randroid market does not give you the option to change accounts your android market needs to be upgraded.

          Download the latest Market Apk from here

    • Good deal.
    • Android market needs a shopping cart, not lots of 10c transactions.
    • The refund time for Android market is way too short. 15 minutes is not enough time to try anything, especially when you just bought multiple things in a batch. Make it an hour at least. I don't care about the 10c, but it makes me a more hesitant to purchase anything that costs non-trivial amounts in future. From a customer-focus perspective, it's best to remove as many barriers to/concerns with purchase as possible.
    • scotty on 07/12/2011 - 17:51

      Yes it used to be 24 hours, which is crazy by itself, as people can finish a full blown game within a day and then request for refund. 15 minutes refund policy is actually quite sensible — comparing to the hops you need to jump through to request a refund from iTunes AppStore.

    • neonlight on 07/12/2011 - 20:27

      They should introduce a credit system. Topping it up like Android Market account with Google account linked to it. Top up via Paypal, Bpay or CC

    • Windows7forever on 07/12/2011 - 21:42

      I agree on all of the above points. You're best off to test each app immediately after you purchase it to ensure that it works on your phone, purely as a technical test. You won't really ascertain whether you like the game or not after only 15 minutes of playing though. Google Market has many quirks and kinks in the system, that's for sure.

  • Veilus on 07/12/2011 - 19:04

    Android market needs a shopping cart. Also anyone getting declined credit card? Got 2 of the items then suddenly declined. Enough money on card. Any ideas?

  • Bob_Fossil on 07/12/2011 - 21:09

    Damnit it to Helen Back!

    Guys, I am an Android noob (literally 2 days usage) and I am getting errors when I go to purchase these apps (free apps are fine). Do I have to add a CC to my gmail account that is associated with the phone?

    I assumed I could just click "buy" and it would as for CC details, but I am getting "An error occurred while creating your order" for all the apps when I try to buy on my phone. When I try to buy on my computer it just shows a loading screen forever.

    I'll be honest, my first two days with Android have been thoroughly underwhelming :(

    • Windows7forever on 07/12/2011 - 21:44

      It should prompt you to supply these payment details during checkout screen.

      • Bob_Fossil on 07/12/2011 - 21:52

        Doesn't even get to that point (checkout screen). I can download free apps, but the paid apps freeze.

        I have a feeling it is because I am using a personal account that uses gmail (ie, [email protected], using gmail as my mail app)

        I am going to try adding "regular" gmail account and seeing if that works.

        • Bob_Fossil on 07/12/2011 - 22:09

          Apparently the first gmail account you use to sign up is your "main one". I have spent hours trying to troubleshoot this and there seems to be a lot of similar problems with a myriad of different causes and fixes.

          Ahhh fuggit, I only bought a cheap 'droid phone on prepaid to tide me over until iPhone 5. Facebook, gmail and web surfing will do me fine until then.

        • Windows7forever on 07/12/2011 - 22:13

          It would be recommended to make a new Gmail account purely for this purpose i.e. buy apps off the Google marketplace. Or use your existing Google mail account and sign into the app market from there and manually add CC details if necessary(before checkout). I hate it when these systems don't work properly.

          I think you answered your own question, but I'm no expert :p

        • Bob_Fossil on 07/12/2011 - 22:36

          @wolfenator87 (can't reply below for some reason). Thanks for the reply. There does seem to be issues with the new migration of Google Apps and God knows what else.

  • Windows7forever on 07/12/2011 - 21:53

    I can't wait for tomorrow's haul of great apps!

    Some of today's apps reviews :

    #Minecraft# : Still learning what the hell this is all about, that game has absolutely no instructions or help and I'm so lost running around a pixelated world like a noob. I do love the unique pixelated 3d graphics style. Having PS1-era graphics on my phone is a real treat for an old gamer like me

    #Papercam# : A great novelty app with heaps of potential fun to be had. I like the fact that you can both manipulate existing images in your gallery and do it through the camera lens on-the-fly. I feel inspired to make my own pseudo-psychedelic artwork or funny comic strip. Nice selection of filter effects included. Sure, you can do this in Photoshop but the simplicity and speed of operation provides for some magnificent results that you can quickly share with friends.

    Is it just me or can I see some other apps going for 10c? Like Fruit Ninja, Flick Golf, Beautiful Widgets to name a few.

      I just bought the AirSync part of DoubleTwist for 10c!

        You have gotta be kidding me…. Just paid $5 for Airsync not a week ago. Oh well, that's life. The day you buy a Steam game for 75% off, it'll become Free To Play.

          Yeah, I know how you feel, I bought SwiftKey X only a week ago. Granted it was on sale (1/2 price) but that's no 10c.

      Yep! I was browsing the Top Paid section and saw those as well. I believe that they are the ones for tomorrow. Bought them just then anyway.
