Anyone able to use a Square credit card reader on the G2x? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I have the Square credit card reader that plugs into the audio jack of my phone, and works with the Square app in the Market. However my swipes don't seem to be detected. Can anyone confirm this working/not working for them?

Same here
Yea just got my square card reader and it is not working with my g2x!

Same problem here. Their website says that right now the G2X supports only manually entered payments. Hope they fix it soon.

So the reader works for you now? I updated my app and the readers still won't work. The app recognizes it but it won't read the card number when I swipe it. Which ROM/version are you running?

Wow, finally got it for android.

You are saying that the card reader which plugs into the headphone jack is working with the app?
I was under the impression that the headphone jack on the G2x was wired differently than the standard audio/video/data jack found on most other phones.

This seems like a great app!
Are there any hidden fees with the app or ones personal bank account!
Does it go to whatever account you assign it and does it show up right away?
I thought I would ask all of you currently using it, thanks!

My square reader works fine on the G2X and I have the latest square software installed.

I'm using Eagles Blood 1.0.4 Froyo and its not working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and still doesn't work. It detects the reader but when it wont register the card swipes.

The only fees are the ones listed on the site. They deduct their % from each transaction and deposit the rest to your bank account. Its not an immediate transfer to your bank but you get it within a day or two.

Just got this reply from their support team. I found that I can omit step 3 (adjusting volume) and just close and re-open the app while the reader is inserted and it works fine for me.
Hi Phillip,
Thanks for writing in! Truth be told, there have been a number of software issues with Square working on the G2X. Here is a workaround, however (for now):
1. Start Square, insert the reader
2. Tap Home
3. Adjust the phone volume up or down
4. Return to Square
Hopefully this will work, but rest assured we're working on a more sustainable solution to this issue.
Thanks for your patience,
Kevin L.

I wanted to confirm the above tips:
I just installed the new 2.0 version of Square that came out recently. Inserting the reader and then exiting out and restarting the Square application seems to work 100% of the time for me. Card swipes are then detected without a hitch.

I also have the square and I've noticed that it doesn't work if I don't have a description with the price.

Best streaming app ever!!!!

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk
This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.
"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me
Any way to make it full screen?
I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?
To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner
Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing
Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

So my father and I both have tbolts and want to make video calls. We tried tango, but the sound quality just isnt there. What are you guys using?

I'm using the new Skype mobile that was posted in another thread and have used it with another TB as well as a computer. Other than my image being a little dark (but I was in a slightly low light room) I was very happy with it.
The skype app leaks all your personal data. They have been able to take cache forms from market which equals your credit card number

If you both have yahoo accounts, you can use the official Yahoo Messenger app. Along with the video-chat plugin app, you can make video calls with other yahoo users. It works well on my TBolt.

Although unfortunate, it doesn't really matter if the Skype app leaks your data. It's only available through your phone, which is perfectly fine as long as you don't download random apps without understanding who made that app. I relate it to leaving all of your credit card statements and social security card on the kitchen table. As long as you don't invite random strangers in the house no one will see it anyway.

Issues w/espn watch now

Hoping someone can help me in time for the mavs/thunder game. I got the app and clicked the setup link in the email they sent me. Signed into my account and selected my provider and everything. Then got redirected to time warner, signed in there to link my account and everything went perfect. I got a pop saying it was done. Then I logged into the app. After I signed in, it said you have access to video. However, whenever I go to play anything, it says subscriber is not found. I sent feedback to espn through the app, but haven't heard anything back and I figured someone else here might have run into the same problem. Also I have adobe air and the latest version of flash player installed.

Before I cancel my texting plan on two phones....can someone tell me something I need to know?

It's a free app so maybe you could try and sideload it? (get the apk.file, install with a file manager)

IR Blaster is Awesome

When I got the phone, I assumed the IR Blaster was a gimmick and that I would hardly use it. Therefore it was not a selling point when buying the phone. Now I use it everyday. It is just so convenient to control my TV and be able to change channels while looking at the channel guide!

I wish there was a way for it to open the app directly to the remote to turn tv on. there are about 4-5 button presses I need to do to get the tv powered on
I dont know why but I cant get the app to work. It keeps saying that it cannot connect to the server. Ive seen other people mention this problem but I dont know if theres a fix for it yet.
Sucks because I would like to use the feature.
The IR blaster on this device is much better than the LG or Samsung versions, IMO... And when it works apparently (sorry for the luck). It does upset me that you can't add it to the lock screen like Samsung though. With viper, and probably other ways as well, you can add the shortcut to the lockscreen, so that save a few clicks.

You can set it as lock screen. I just did. Your doc at the bottom is the same as your lock screen so you have to change it to one of those.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. It would be nice if we could set up as a widget. Be nice to double tap and there's the remote. Since its stock on other OEMs, I'm hopeful someone will make it happen on one of the great ROMs we have to choose from.

Piracy
Good Afternoon.
The distribution of paid apps for "free" by any means is considered Piracy and is strictly prohibited on XDA.
If you are unsure whether or not the app you're linking others to or downloading is pirated material, try searching for it in the Playstore.
If it has a cost, then your "free download" is PIRATED
