App buying question - Samsung Infuse 4G

I went to purchance my first app, I selected to have my phone bill charged rather than using my credit card. I received an email when I hit download, the email was basically a receipt, but right after the receipt email I received another email telling me the download was canceled and I wont b charged?? I've tried to download it a few other times and each time I hit download I get a pop up that saids "I already have a pending order for this item" what's the deal?

Why not make things a lot easier on yourself and signup for a Google Checkout account?
It's so easy to do and once you have signed up and find an app you want to buy it's approved instantly right on the spot, and the download/installation is instant too. There are many ways to setup the Google Checkout.
Here is the link: http://checkout.google.com/sell/?promo=sha2&gsessionid=Ie2PYCQ5SL0
Good luck!

Thanks for the link. Kinda funny tho, I just received a call from att (follow up call on an issue on one of my other phones) I asked her the same thing and she told me that there's a purchase blocker on my account. I don't know anything about that, she told me that she can either unblock my account for good or unlock just so I can download this app, I asked if there's a why for me to block/unblock as I see fit, she said she'll send me an email on how to monitor my account. Never had to deal with this sort of thing with my iphones, but I guess its a good thing to have.

the app store bills through the itunes account doesn't it? I guess the purchase blocking for the phone bill is to prevent freud. I've used andriod since before I knew that was an option and pay for apps with my debit card, though I may put it on my phone bill now because I hate to see my bill change and it'll keep me from making impulive buys, the few dolars seems more significant on my phone bill than out of my bank account. I have like 10 apps that are useless to me now and will never use like rom manager and set cpu.

Maybe a mod can join these two.

You can get the apk from their site I think. I got it a while ago before knowing it was for international users only. Let me see is I still have it, but it may be a tad outdated.
Link worked, but I'm unable to pay for premium service because it somehow recognizes that paypal is a US account. I'm going to have to try proxy or some other method. I'll keep you posted if I succeed.
EDIT: Tried paying through paypal with proxy and still the same problem. Tried a regular master card and it says denied right away. I think I might be stuck and SOL.
good try Supa!
i too have the apk, but didn't read my email soon enough to get it to ya. thanks Red.
Is it a one time fee or a monthly charge? Perhaps some sort of travelers check type payment.
Here's the latest apk: http://www.spotify.com/wp-content/uploads/android/0.4.04/SpotifyAndroid.apk
It's a monthly charge, but I already like it because there are albums that you have to buy on rhapsody or napster but you don't on spotify. I guess I'll just continue using it as a desktop app for now until I can figure out how to pay their monthly fees.

I cannot figure out how to register. Invitation code fails, as states, but the "Sign Up" button is for joining their mailing list to be notified when registration starts next.

stay away from fastgsm.com

I paid my $20 via paypal. Their automated system happily accepted my payment then promply complained that my (paypal verified) email had not been verified and that I should follow instructions in the email they had sent.
I never received any such email. Not in regular, junk, spamassassin folders. This is my 100% reliable email address that never loses an email. I promply filed a complaint with paypal. Next day their response was that I did not respond to the email (that I never got) so they activated it manually but I have already lost confidence and want my money back. So far they have refused to offer me a refund so I am continuing to fight it on paypal.
My advice is to stay away!
Hi,
1. we do use Google Premium (Paid) services to send out the emails. It is most reliable service in the market.
2. You can any time ask for verification via separate email.
3. We never refuse to make refund if credit not used
Your situation mostly happens when you use stolen PayPal and can not control PayPal primary email. Or maybe you are competitor who try to damage reputation - you have 2 posts only so you do not have any reputation.

that my account does not have enough credit even though I have paid for it
already . Please help.
thats just harsh thanks for the tip ill b sure to stay away
i'll also wait for a day, if they don't reply, I'll raise a PayPal claim too.

Hello, FastGSM crew is 100% trustable. They make unique solutions on the market (many many world firsts) and for many models only they can unlock them (specially usa/canada and latin/central america models). They helped to a lot of users there to unlock their phones including me - Me personally did unlocked around 25 phones with them.

guess so.. Wah Wai Electronics or something similar is their paypal name.
To unlock your phone, call your provider customer service and say politely "I would like to have my phone unlocked. Can you please provide me the code?" and viola - you have your code in the mail in about 3-7 days. Even if you are on the contract, they will get it to you in anyway. Use google people.
PS: I unlocked my Nokia while being on the contract, on the 5th month

If you didn't sign for either and they were just left on your door, then you have a question to ask yourself
Are you a person concerned with "Ethics"? If so test both, see which one has less bugs and screen bleed, then send back your original and the lesser of the two replacements
If not, call T-Mobile and check your order history WITHOUT mentioning you got two G2X replacements, and ask for tracking numbers associated to any orders including warranty replacements.
If only one G2X order exists in the system, match the tracking number to its phone and use only THAT phone never turning on the other one
Get a replacement battery cover from LG, a charger and battery online, sell as new no box on Craigslist with a prepaid number, delete the ad and email, throw the prepaid sim away, profit.

Samsung promo issues

Anyone having issues with the Samsung Promo?
After I registered, I got the page to buy the $99 but when I clicked on it, the page took forever to load and it failed. There is no way for me to get it back, I tried to register again and got IMEI & MAC address error being not recognized. I've been on hold with Samsung Support for the past 1 hr waiting for someone to take my call.

Got a solution. I had the same issue. Download the Shop samsung app from the play store, and you can submit through the app, make sure to e-mail yourself the receipt or something because you'll have to attach it from the app itself. It goes through!

Their support sucks on top of it. Wasted 2 hours, got a rep then transferred me, only for my call to drop again.
chat was no help & finally talked to a CS rep, I was told to try again later since the website is getting pounded and if i get the same error, to call in again later tonight.
PURE GENIUS.
That was able to register but it never asked me payment information for the $99 dollar bundle

When I registered my IMEI for the pre order promotion, I received an email welcoming me to Samsung Galaxy S8 that had a code for 30% off in the Samsung Store. I'm not going to use it, but I don't know if it's the same for everyone or specific to me but someone can try it if they want.

Which packages to remove on Oreo?

Hi everybody!
I'm having issues with battery life, I noticed that much of the battery is consumed by the android system process, and therefore of all the many samsung packages.
I would like to know if anyone has a list of packages that can be safely removed from oreo, after I will remove them with adb commands. I would like to use an app as a package disabler, but now these apps appear and disappear too often from the store and the feedback leave me a little confused.
Can anyone help me?

I believe you didnt understand mate...
I bought these apps twice, with the same account, my only one. And both apps I bought have disappeared from the store, like their developers. In my Gmail I still have the purchase invoices, opening the links of the developers dont appear to me anything, they disappeared and, probably, reappear with other names.
Reading on the forum it seems I'm not the only one to have noticed that these developers appear and reappear, so users have to repurchase the app every time

Well yea, if the original app is removed, then a new one appears in it's place, then it is a different app, even if it does the same thing / seems identical, maybe the dev sold it to someone else who has re-upped it under a different name, either way you'd need to buy it again

I don't think so... In the mail invoice that google send when you make a purchase there is always a contact email from the developer near his name.
The contact email that I see in my old invoice is identical to the contact email that is here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium
So I would say that the developer is always the same, He simply likes to reappear always with different names so as to take more money from those who are forced to buy back the app every time, it's simply a dishonest trick

I guess if you want to disable packages, it's gonna cost £2~ every time you reset your phone if it gets blacklisted, I've only reset my phone once in 12 months, £2 odd every 12 months is fine
At least there is a non root option
In the end, after 2 days, the developer replied giving me a code to redeem the app for free from the store.
Now with Package disabler pro (with that xml list) and Greenify, the battery life goes a bit better. I do about 4h of screen on (compared to before I was about 2h30m).

you've told that you having issue with app disabler? just do the adb trick to disable every app that you want
