Amazon Market Issues

jksuperstar · 07-21-2011, 02:24 PM

I've got a Pocket eDGe, with Ermine installed. Root via z4root.

When I try to download anything from Amazon, it insists on me having 1-click purchasing setup, and for that it needs a mobile number.

Is there a way around this? Or am I doing the wrong thing?

Set it up and you'll have no problems.

I'm trying to get the Official Android Marketplace working..... No luck yet.

It's easier to set up your Amazon account through your PC. Then once you turn on one-click you should be able to get their market through your PE. You have had them send you the link for their app, right??

Just putting in a home phone worked. I already had an amazon account setup, it was just this one piece of info I didn't want to hand out to another marketer unnecessarily. The way the amazon site described it, it used the number to match my phone to the account, but I guess that was bs in the end.

I hate giving retailers my phone number, too, and avoid it whenever possible.

Glad you got it working!

edgepro, I am considering reporting you for spamming this forum. So far your 10 posts have added nothing to any of the threads except spam for your website.

I tend to give the benefit of the doubt at the start but if someone else thinks the same way then so be it.
