Games :: Asphalt 5 Pulled From Market / Contravening Distro Agreement?

May 28, 2010

An interesting addendum to the Gameloft debate.I bought Asphalt 5 when if came out on the Market in April. It's now been pulled (presumably connected to Gameloft going to direct distribution). One think I notice is that when I pull up my list of Downloads in the Market application it no longer shows up. Presumably this means I won't be receiving updates on it.But presumably this also means I cannot reinstall it if I clear some memory / bork my phone / have a horrible experience with the Gingerbread update &tc &tc.Are they allowed to do this? Isn't one of the reasons I buy on the Market because I know I have the right to reinstall? Let's look at the marketplace agreement which (presumably) Gameloft signed up to: Android.com.Take a close look at clauses 3.6 and 7.1.

1) I have the right to unlimited reinstalls (3.6).

2) Even if an app is taken down by the vendor, my licence rights are unaffect (7.1).

3) There are special cases where an app can be taken down and reinstall rights suspended (if it infringes copyright, is defamatory etc). However if taken down under these circumstances I am entitled to a refund (7.1).

So as I see it taking down Asphalt 5 and denying me my right to unlimited installs contravenes the Marketplace agreement (does anyone else have experience with other paid apps that have been taken down?). And even if the app was taken down because it was dodgy (which I don't think it has done), I should be entitled to a full refund.I've lobbed a request into Gameloft support to see what they come out with, but I don't hold up much hope.

Android :: In-App Purchasing And Market Agreement

Mar 17, 2010

I have still not seen an acceptable solution for in-app purchasing, and I was hoping for an official response from Google. This has been discussed in other threads, but there is still no good solution. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.Collecting a fee to unlock functionality or to buy virtual items is not a technical problem. It is straightforward.However, the Market Agreement severely limits developers' ability to collect such a fee. It says all fees collected for the app must go through the Market payment processor.Buying another app from the Market seems the only clearly acceptable solution. But that is not ideal.It perverts the definition of an "app" and causes problems because of the refund policy.Google, how are developers supposed to handle this situation? Or is your intention that we simply not do this?

While lawyers may quarrel over the actual document, what is your intent as it pertains to buying virtual items? For example, charging $1 real money for 10 in-game gold?What if only the front end of the game is distributed on the market,and the features of the front end (the app) do not change with additional fees? This may be splitting hairs but that's what happens with legal documents, I suppose.So what is the intention of the Market Agreement here? Did you intend to prevent buying virtual items or not?

Games :: Asphalt 5 Download

Sep 3, 2010

Since I'm new to the smart phone/android market I have a couple of app questions.

When starting to play Asphalt 5 it says it needs to download a 96MB file and recommends using a wi-fi connection to do it. First, did you guys do it over the air or Wi-Fi? Second, is the game worth the 96mb download. How long does it take to download?

Android : App Pulled From Market

Jun 7, 2010

I received an email last week, stating that my application "has been removed from Android Market due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy". Too vague to be useful, in my opinion. It said I could reply to the email for more information, which I did, but I got no response.Does anyone know how I can get in touch with someone on the Market team so that I can make the necessary changes to get my app back in the Market?

Android :: Updated Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement?

Apr 24, 2009

I'm sorry I know this is slightly off-topic, but since there is no group about the market... When I'm logging in to the Market console, I'm asked to agree with the "updated Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement".Is there any info/announcement anywhere highlighting and explaining the differences with the previous agreement?

Android :: Catch 22 Re Android Market Developer Agreement

Nov 5, 2010

This is not a programming question per se but a question that may be relevant to all future Android developers.I am in the market for an Android developer phone. I can buy it used on eBay, or I can buy it new on the Android Market.All nice and dandy but in order what the Android market has to offer, I have to first register, which requires signing the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement.Well, I know that many developers signed that agreement and stayed alive, but before signing anything I prefer to read what I am about to sign. Unfortunately, certain information that is needed to be understood in order to sign the agreement can be accessed only after you sign the agreement.For example, how do I know which are the "authorized payment processors" mentioned in clause 1.2?Also, it sounds strange to me that in order to just see what developer phones are available (and their specs) I first have to register and pay the $25 registration fee. It will take at least 6 months before I will be ready to place anything on the Android market, so why should I register now?

Games :: Market And App Store

Nov 17, 2010

Do Apple App Store and the Goodle Android Market have fees for putting apps up (like say, they take 10% of each sale for themselves)? Also, when you put them up, are there options you can choose as to what payment options are accepted? IE, I recently tried to purchase the game Snail Buster but it would not accept Discover Card.With that second question, what "options" do developers have when submitting apps to the store/market?

Games :: ESPN Fantasy App Up In Market

Sep 3, 2010

ESPN's Fantasy Football App is on the market now. It's $5 though, so I think I may wait until the day of the first game to give it a run, and if I don't like it I can return it within the 24hrs.

I'm curious to see how the Fantasy Cast compares to the web version.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Why Do Some Facebook Photos Not Get Pulled?

Oct 27, 2009

For most Google Contacts, once linked to a facebook account, properly display the photo as the contact photo. There are a few though that oddly don't. I can see their picture on facebook itself, it just doesn't get pulled into the Contact. I've inquired to these individuals and they don't seem to be using any particular privacy setting that would affect this.

The onResume method was for some reason not working with Notify.clear(), so I used a combination of my attempt and Qberticus' suggestion. It's a little clumsy, but it works perfectly.

General :: Battery Pulled Out During Factory Reset

Mar 10, 2013

Motorola Atrix 2. Since all my personal and official data was stored on the sd card, which I couldn't pull out from the phone, I had activated the factory reset - including sd card formatting - before handing it over. As luck would have it, I was pressurized to give it up before the process finished so in a bid to save the data from getting into the wrong hands, I pulled out the battery while it was erasing data from the sd card according to the dialog box. My questions is: What are the chances of the sd card getting corrupted and the data becoming inaccessible? I need to know as I'm under a lot of stress because of it and there's no chance of getting it back. I had changed my google account's password the moment I reached home (after fifteen to twenty minutes) so I also the phone would have locked out.
