[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
How do you do that? I couldn't see any way to purchase Android apps on PC without going through the Amazon app store on Android.
[Google Chromecast] extrem0:
Just search for any app name like searching for a physical product and it will show it.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
But I don't get a "Buy" link, just a link to the Amazon App Store, which I can't run on my PC.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Do you have an Amazon account set up? You need to be logged in I believe and have 1 click buy set up...
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Ok, it works now. I don't know why it wasn't working before, logged in to the same account. Maybe because I hadn't yet bought any Android apps or registered an Android device on that account? Now I have two Android devices registered for some reason, but it's the same device registered twice.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
You definitely need to have Amazon Appstore installed and logged in from at least one Android device.

I wouldn't worry too much about the duplicate device, it can happen if you change ROM or even upon reinstall sometimes. You can remove the duplicate in your Amazon settings under my digital devices.

-= this post enhanced with bonus mobile typos =-
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
LOL the Play store also used to think I had 4 different Phones which were really all the same phone with different roms installed on them!

And you are right you have to have the Amazon App installed and that will register the device to the account once you have logged in with it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfodra:
Currently, an unlocked htc m8 is available in Amazon for 670 dollars. It's 30 dollars cheaper than the original price. Why is that? I'm a little scared to buy it because I have read in the reviews that they received a 16gb version not the 32gb. I just don't want trouble like returning the phone or something.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treetolber:
I have the 32gb from T-Mobile. First of all in my opinion all of the phones in the One family are the best most professional and elegant Android devices on the market today. I view them as cool Android devices for adults.

As far Amazon and getting a phone from there. I got two from them when I was on Sprint. They were both upgrades and Amazon only charged $.01 for each when Sprint was charging at least $50 for the upgrades. They got here in 2 days. It was a fabulous experience.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
I think your most telling comment were the reviews. The fact people aren't getting what they paid for. Remember $670 for a 32gb might be a good deal. Same price for a 16gb isn't

If the reviews aren't good I always stay away. Especially if all you're saving is $30
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfodra:
It is labeled as 32gb. And there's like only 2 reviewers who said they received a 16gb version so it looks like a good deal. Thank you for your replies. :) I'm just a little curious on how they can sell it cheaper.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Amazon is high volume, and they can afford to cut prices by not having a brick and mortar stores. Plus their logistics (delivery network) are unmatched. All of this means they can pretty much undercut most the competition on price (and therefore attract higher sales volume), and still make enough profit to be successful.

The purchase is direct from Amazon, correct (and not a 3rd party vendor that sells on Amazon as a portal)? If its the same listing I am looking at, it is. Amazon is really reliable. But mistakes just get made once in a while.

Merchandise returns are extremely easy on Amazon, in the event you end up having to do one. They give you a UPS label to print out, just slap it on the box it shipped in and seal the box, and take it to a UPS store (or you can probably call for UPS pickup). Since it was their mistake, they pay for shipping. When they made a mistake for something my wife ordered, they made it right by shipping the replacement overnight at no cost. Even when its a mistake I made (ordered some electrical part that were the wrong color) the return shipping was only about $2.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfodra:
Wow. You just gave me the most detailed answer. Thank you. I already ordered. Hoping to get what I wanted. Thank you again for that very detailed response.

[Sony Xperia L] blackcastle101:
I own Xperia L C2104 with a build no. and had android version 4.2.2

So, here is what happened.

i got fascinated with rooting and bootloader unlocking stuff, so i rooted my phone successfully and everything was fine after rooting and then i decided to unlock my bootloader. I officially got the key from sony and followed the procedure. after i did that my phone stuck in the bootloop so i tried recovering my phone to last state using CWM recovery that i backed up before unlocking bootloader but it was not successful it said "failed to format system......." something like that.

After that my phone would not go past the sony screen on bootup. It goes in flash mode and fastboot mode when connected to PC. and when in off position i try to charge it, red led glows for abt 5 sec i.e. untill the phone boots and the sony screen appears..............

So please guys help me..............

my phone is in warranty but i think i have voided it by doing those above stuffs................:(
[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:

[Sony Xperia L] blackcastle101:
well my phone boots up as well as goes in flash mode and fast boot mode.............it just gets stuck on sony screen on boot up..........
[Sony Xperia L] Yodeh:
You should be able to flash C2015 firmware on C2104 XL .
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Check the USB cable. and make sure you have the latest flashtool with the drivers installed. Then try flashing and let me know if it worked!
[Sony Xperia L] blackcastle101:
finally solved my problem................thanks every1

the main problem was that i was flashing the wrong stock rom which i downloaded from https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B16r...ny i.e. by using unlock key provided by them?
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
You should be having your DRM keys back by now. Which means that you can update from Sony directly. I dont know about the service center. I have never tried that. You must be able to reclaim the warranty though! :) have a nice day. :)

Your voice is not heard unless you speak!

Below is the contact information for the top executives at Verizon Wireless. I encourage all of you to contact them through all channels of communication. However remember we are not after angry mob justice-- civility, manners, and proper English will be your most effective tools. I would recommend something along the lines of;

"Dear X, I am dissatisfied with Verizon Wireless's decision to lock down the bootloader of the Galaxy S5. I understand this is done for security but if I if I wish to have my bootloader unlocked it should be granted upon request. I will knowingly and gladly void my warranty in exchange for an unlocked bootloader. This will be the last device I purchase through Verizon Wireless and I am spreading the word for other customers to do the same."

It is lonely at the top, I'm sure they wouldn't mind daily emails and phone calls from all of you!

Probably, as the phone is assembled with different hardware pices, like 2 lcd models, then can influence on battery consumption.

I used to get 5-6 hours screen on time, but then I started to use more apps and specially listen to more music on it, with 4 hours of music listening I was getting 4 hours of screen on time. Maybe you should try letting it get completely discharged and then charge completely while off. When I was getting a bad battery life it helped me ;).

Actually I do not complain of battery life when the Phone is in idle as I get more than 4 days in standby with a 30minutes on screen, what bothers me is the time on screen, which is no more than 4 hours. If you cannot get 3/4 days in standby then you have look for sapplication which working in background and eat your battery.

This is irrelevant as any time you log into Service Battery Check it change every time, it not telling you the right thing and the battery cannot be checked from that.

In my opinnion this depends on how you use the 3-5 hours display time.

If they are continuous it doesnt use that much power. When i'm using it at work (don't judge me) i can get up to 6 continuous hours.

When im using it over the day (12-15 hours) i get around 4 hours and a litte more, wich is kinda "hardcore-user" for most people.

My nexus 4 never lastet that long, i could just get over 2 hours display time when i used it over the day and 3 hours at work...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
I usually drain about 20% of the battery for every screen on hour (or about 5 hours of screen on per full charge), and that's using Facebook for a long time (a very well known battery killer).Even on my worst days, I never get less than 3.5-4 hours of screen on per charge. However, I tend to keep brightness very low.

Check the battery usage per application using either the built-in monitor or something like GSam battery monitor. You may have a bad application, or too high brightness, or even low signal strength.
