They specifically say :

"

Add a physical contact address Beginning September 30, 2014, you need to add a physical address to your Settings page. After you've added an address, it will be available on your app's detail page to all users on Google Play. If your physical address changes, make sure to update your information on your Settings page.

If you have paid apps or apps with in-app purchases, it's mandatory to provide a physical address where you can be contacted, as you are the seller of that content, to comply with consumer protection laws. If you don't provide a physical address on your account, it may result in your apps being removed from the Play Store."

This means they want an address to be published for all.

In order to edit this setting, you have to go to "finance" and then to the merchant settings and then edit the address...

Don't like the change.

Maybe someone started moving their apps to another stores such as Amazon?

Or even focus on IOS and not to deploy on Android anymore.

Good job Google
[General Marketing & SEO] ishengard:
Good job, you forget IOS yearly fee.

If you can't afford a PO BOX or let's say any forwarding address yearly, can you afford IOS yearly service which is $99 / year ? Let alone you need mac OS to develop your application.

I rather to publish is in Amazon or just use any address which I have access to (maybe it is friend address or whatever) or you can use a "service" which help you to publish your app to market (but they will ask you: source code (as they will compile it by themselves), analyze your source code (make sure your code is safe), and get 20 - 25% from your revenue). If you insist to use a store: publish your application to windows phone (well good luck with visual studio license) store or incoming Tizen. IOS is not good idea if you cannot sell your apps (don't forget yearly $99).
[General Marketing & SEO] xdaid:
Well, this is not the old good war between google fans and apple fans, the point is google is going to screw up everything.

I'm totally against apple and ios but, let's face these things about them:

- they ask you a per-year fee

- they verify your app and make sure it's safe for the users

- earnings on their store is four times than the play store

So, you pay a lot but you have a good change to get the money back and, above all, you're not asked to pay in terms of lack of PRIVACY and SAFETY.

What google is doing is crazy and unacceptable, everyone (not who actually buy on the play store, everyone!) will be allowed to see your personal info and home address and, btw, it's still not clear if a PO box is allowed.

I'm not a google soldier, i like google but i won't defend them when they become so greedy and unfair that even apple appears better.
[General Marketing & SEO] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Isn't Apple's share of revenues from the app the same as Google's - 30% ?

Anyway, I got a weird reply today from Google on their Google groups:

https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1340#c22

Can I understand from it that an email is enough?

Also, how come I can't (as a user) see any app's address on the play store? Not even of Google's ?

Is it possible it's available only in certain countries? Maybe only in the EU ?

As the title says; does anyone have a working AKU 3.3 or 3.5 Base ROM for the Wizard?

I am keen on developing my own ROM but ideally need a working Base ROM and I would prefer an AKU 3.3 or 3.5 to start with. I have seen posts about some people having working AKU 3.3 and 3.5 ROMs but nobody has posted one.

The Universal seems to have several cooked AKU 3.3 and 3.5 ROMs available and that device is even older than the Wizard. Surely someone has already ported the AKU 3.3 and 3.5 ROM for the Wizard?

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] j3d1n4s7y:
haven't heard of anyone around here having one...Molski and Faria only recently released their ROM using 3.2
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] raiden:
I also have noticed other devices (similar in spec to the wizard (omap)) that are running either AKU 3.3 or AKU 3.5. Will anyone attempt to port those images to the wizard anytime soon?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ADB100:
My suspicion is that some users have already managed to port AKU 3.3 and 3.5 ROM's to the Wizard but they are probably very buggy, hence why they are relucatant to announce or upload them. I remember a post by Faria stating specifically he had a working AKU 3.5 ROM on a Wizard but there was one major issue with it (can't remember what?).

This all seems to have gone quiet though now and I think unless the manufacturers (& companies who badge the Wizard) develop drivers specifically for AKU 3.x then we won't see any, which is a shame since the Wizard is such a neat device.

If I knew a bit more I would attempt to port an AKU 3.5 ROM from another device to the Wizard but I only have one Wizard and limited skills with backward engineering software :(

Any other takers?

Good catch. He posted this problem over on AF. I completely overlooked that he was using TWRP.

After the recent firmware upgrade, my phone's businesses card recognition feature is not working.

The error message displayed is " Unfortunately, the business card recognition service has stopped". The picture is taken but the OCR does not work.

I am using Note 3 and running 4.4.2 android version.

Any clue guys?
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
I noticed the charging circuit on the G3 must not have much filtering, I get very audible annoying high frequency noise on the phone during a call while plugged in. I've also noticed some static noises that seem to be from my phone even while not plugged in. Then, there is tremendous echo while on speaker phone. Even though I'm really impressed with signal strength, voice quality doesn't seem to be it's strong suite.

[HTC One S] narvicloud:
Hello dear forum,

something weird happened to my One S 2 days ago and I would need your help, since I am, not very smartphone-savvy. I will try to describe the problem as detailed as possible.

It is important to mention, that since a few months the phone's USB connection didn't work properly (I can charge the phone on the PC, but it won't be recognised as a device by the PC). Also the phone doesn't seem to have an SC card?? I never really noticed this, but now it puts an obstacle in my way cause there is no easy way to recover my gallery etc.

While I was manually updating my apps (at the time of the happening: WhatsApp and Skype), I suddenly got the popup message "Google Play store stopped working". I wiped recent apps and started the play store again. Suddenly, various apps (Google Drive, Gmail, Play Store, Clean Master, you name it..) all stopped working and I got a huge amount of these "stopped working"- popup messages, including "android.process.acore has stopped working".

It was impossible to get rid of the messages, because they kept appearing over and over again on the screen.

I tried to restart the phone, which didnt fix the problem. It seemed like my apps just kept crashing over and over. I rebooted again after a while and everything seemed fine. My data was also still there and wifi worked too.

But then the phone froze. I tried restarting it via the hardware button. Since then, the phone seems dead. It only starts when connected tot he charger, but always keeps freezing at the "HTC One S" startup screen.

Now I mentioned the USB connection was not working properly even before this happened. I still tried plugging the phone into the PC, and it seemed to be searching for drivers for a certain "QHSUSB_DLOAD".

I have no idea what this means and would like to ask you for suggestions on what to do (or if there is anything I could do at all). I don't have much hope, but the best case scenario for me at this moment would be to have my photos recovered.

Thank you VERY much for your suggestions, it will be hugely appreciated!

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoizosAristides:
Hello,

About 2 weeks ago, I flashed a new rom on my Xperia SP (XperianZe 4.4 ROM). First thing I noticed is that the screen was flickering, much like the old 4.3 firmware versions. And so I flash CM11 as an alternative (official build). But, CM11 got my screen flickering too...

Then I tried the stock firmware 12.1.A.1.205 with stock kernel. No flickering screen...

So what I noticed from all this is that when I flash other kernels, like DooMLoRD's kernel or the stock CM11 kernel, the screen starts flickering.

What I tried:

-Reflashing both ROMS and kernels twice.

-Factory reset.

-Disabling hardware acceleration through developer options (which worked for most of the people with this problem, but on stock firmwares..)

-Disabling hardware acceleration through scripts and other flashable zip files.

-Other developer options such as GPU rendering on/off.

Please help...I really want to switch to a KitKat ROM, as Sony has unfortunately decided not to release 4.4 for our SP :(

Thanks in advance :)

Hey guys my mind are messing with me, I'm so confused I had android since 2009 and now I'm thinking switching to iPhone 6+ bigger screen, I had all mobiles from HTC to Samsung, I'm afride If I'm going to buy note 4 it will be laggy on touchwiz plus they never update there phone, look at iPhone they update there iPhone 4 and it 4 years old, what do you think is this note 4 gonna be better choice?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ruchirtrehan:
Don't get me wrong I am not fan of company, I just buy what deserves to be bought and fits my requirement, but iphone 6+ is not worth the money that's for sure, you might buy it only if you're a big fool and love to show off an expensive sh*t to your friends, better go with Note 4. And what makes you call touchwiz laggy? I had the Note 3 I never saw any touchwiz lag and with new gen of touchwiz it should be butter smooth, tho I can be wrong as I haven't used the new touchwiz just yet but I feel it will be smooth and Samsung does updates their phone, rest your choice.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonleb1:
If they weren't so grossly overpriced (over $1000 with tax for the highest range 6+, I mean come on), I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the new iPhones. For pretty much everyone I know, their lackluster specs are all they really need. But seeing as how you're on XDA, the Note 4 is without question the better option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fatouraee:
I bought the 6+ and note 3 and to be honest it actually sucks. I have had iphones and note series from day 1.

The 6+ feels cheap. the siftware has issues. Not all of them are optimized so it feels like when the ipad was released. Apps looked zoomed in. I will get rid of this and get a note for sure. It just has so much more to offer than the iphone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
I don't care about phones getting dropped from updates after a couple years for a couple reasons. First off old devices on new software (I'm speaking about iOS) run like a bag of ****. My sister is using my old 4 and it runs like garbage. Secondly most people don't keep a phone for more then 2 years anyway so updates become irrelevant.

iPhones are great if you don't mind paying a premium for outdated hardware on a platform that is always behind Android. Apple does provide a fantastic warranty though, I'll give them that. Granted my S3 has never had issues and in my circle iPhones seem to be more problematic (that may not mean anything though).

For me Android is about flexibility and features that are years ahead of anything on an iPhone (for the most part). I'm patiently waiting to replace my aging S3 with a Note 4 because I believe it is the best phone of 2014.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] buhohitr:
If you get the 6+, all you see is a bigger screen, no more no less, now even with the big screen the quality is still not compare to the note4. The note4 which I have read many reviews, they all stated that it has zero lags (using snapdragon chip instead of Exynos) and the more you're going to use the phone, you will appreciate all the new features of the note4, like wide angle front camera, super smooth Spen, mutitask/multiscreen. Multitask/multiscreen is a big deal for me, imagine, while you on the phone talking, you could search the web, looking for something, circle it open messager, paste and send. Basically you could open multiple apps and flip through them like on your PC. Iphone is way lack of multitasking (none), this is one feature where note 4 is on the top. Now you should ask yourself, with the iphone beside a bigger screen what else can you do???
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theclueless:
I thought about the 6+... no I actually stayed up, pre-ordered, but cancelled it. While 6+ is a very nice phone, I am pretty sure the next iOS update will cripple it. Apple is pushing for software optimization while staying 1GB of RAM, I have to say it is enough for now, but higher screen resolution and richer multimedia content will push the it to the limit, doesn't matter how they freeze the app while it is in background, the next time you relaunch it, it will restart the app instead of resuming it, the same problem we saw with earlier Windows Phone. The next version of iOS might even be more useful (common Apple, give us default app option, and lock screen rotation per app), I will stick with Note 4 for this year around.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
I agree on that Sir, but I'm just tired of touchwiz being laggy and they don't support there phone like apple do, I've heard that google gonna take over the update for all android let's hope it true but again am 95% of buying the note and the 5% is the annoying 6+
[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
We can bet on that the L only coming for note 5 and s6 it always like that on Samsung devices
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
I got the iPhone 6, not the + but I saw it in store today. Although it's a nice phone the note 4 is the better device without a doubt. Just put the hype aside, you'll see that the note is the clear winner.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gavinfabl:
The Note 4 was my next phone of choice. I have now seen the Plus. Tbh these phones offer a different user experience. One is not necessarily better than the other. There are features on both that are unique. It really is a difficult call. I want to see evidence of both cameras in use. Not available yet. And full features of both. But features versus user experiences are two different things.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] buhohitr:
Touchwiz on note4 is super smooth, no lags based on all the review I read. The beauty with Android is ton of options/customization, you always can just pick another launcher :)) , throw in another feature to convince you - super charge 0-50% in 30min and super power saving mode give you 2 more days with only10% battery capacity left. The list just goes on and on...BTW, I believe Android L will be on note 4 when it released. Based on the history, the S3 which is 2 generation old and it's running on kitkat right now, so I'm sure Android L will be on the note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mchief298:
Touchwiz will lag. It always has, and always will. That's not to say that the note 4 won't be great.. Samsung just adds so many useless features, and makes the ui look trashy.... So it weighs down the interface. I'm ecstatic with what the note 4 brings, and the fact that it releases on my birthday.. Happy birthday to me!! Ha! Also, L may not come to the Note 4. It takes Samsung too long to catch up to Google with firmware.. And then you have carriers that get their grubby hands on it. If it comes? Awesome! Just means it needs more optimization.. Cuz art

[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
Ok, I know you still said you preferred the note, respect for that, but this lag nonsense is just lag-gate. I have a Note 4 with loads of apps running, I have owned it since launch day, ran it until it gets blazing hot, multi-tasked the arse off it, and NO LAG!

I really think it's just a stock excuse that people throw in because that's what someone said once. Come on, I have read posts from those saying that their iphone lags too. I am sure that in general terms it's nothing to get remotely bothered about with either phone.

Can we just get on with enjoying this fasntastic phone without comparing it with a totally different OS and hardware set up. This is a Note 4 forum not an Apple forum.

Sorry if I offend, it's not my intention, it's the lag-gate and iphone 6 discussions that vex me deeply!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
My sister picked up an iPhone 6 yesterday and I was playing with the 6+ in store. I was 100% convinced before and after playing with it that Android is the platform for me. iOS just feels like the same old same old, which is great if you like it to begin with. I get bored however and I like to switch things up. I've been using NOVA since owning my S3 for a couple weeks and there are countless other great launchers out there. Don't like a messaging app, change it. Bored with the icons, change them. The amount of user customization without rooting is staggering and with root it's even more so.

Have you watched any hands on videos from IFA on the Note 4? As someone who hasn't owned a Note yet I'm pumped for the "cut and paste" feature and insane multitasking. To me those 2 options absolutely seal the deal. I'm a multitasking maniac and I am going to take full advantages of these features.
