Buying a Touchpad from friend, how to transfer "info" to me - WebOS Software and Hacking General

I have a friend who bought the Touchpad during the fire sale and registered it under his name/WebOS account. He would rather continue to use his iPad instead, so he is going to sell it to me at his cost. How do I change the info on it and register it to me/create a WebOS account for me?
Does this require a wipe/reinstall of the OS? Can it be changed on the tablet itself? Do I have to call HP tech support to do this? Thanks for any info you guys provide.

Restore/reset it and you will be able enter your own info, you will of course loose the apps he purchased

[Q] Recover ROM Manager Premium licence!

Hi XDA!
Was hoping someone can help me with my current issue!
So in May 2011, I purchased ROM Manager premium licence with an in-app purchase I believe. I have the Google checkout receipt for it and it says it is a 'digital delivery' so I think that's how I bought it
Since then I've upgraded my phone and now I cannot recover the premium licence anymore. The ROM Manager Premium app on the Play Store says I'd have to pay for it (which is expected since I technically didn't buy that app), and I've tried to contact the developer for help but they don't appear to be answering my inquiries
Anyone have any idea what I can do to recover the licence? Would be great not to have to pay $5.99 for it again, or am I just plain out of luck?
Thanks for any help in advance!
I am having the same issue. I bought the app a couple of years ago and was just browsing through my Google Wallet purchases and was reminded of my purchase when I saw my history. I remembered that I made the purchase through the Rom Manager app itself and not directly from the Google Play Store.
I will probably send them an email, with a screenshot tomorrow.

Want a Sim free Samsung focus s but my parents don't see the point. Help?

OK so I want to buy a Samsung Focus S not as a phone (I have to cope with Verizon dumb phones since I'm not allowed a data plan) but to mess with windows phone and to play music with when I run (don't want to have to use a non touchscreen phone while running, too awkward). So I found one at a good price (140ish) and I am spending my own money in my savings account (that only my parents can get into). But when I tell them this, they say that they don't see the point because I COULD play music on my dumb phone (yuck) and they don't the the point in me getting it for windows phone because I have a tablet that does the same stuff and a phone. They are mainly against it not because of what it is or anything but because they don't understsnd why it makes sense. But I want to tinker with wp7 and have a half decent smaller device for multiple purposes. computer people, you know what I mean! No, getting the smartphone for my phone isn't an option, they won't pay my plan. I'm 17. Any help? Thanks in advance! Sorry if its in the wrong section, it's half personal and half technological so I had no clue where to put it

Will they let *you* pay the difference for a smartphone data plan? Verizon is not that bad if you're on a family plan.

Well they WOULD, but I don't have time for a job to pay for it because of the way my ap classes are etc. Really getting a simfree phone is cheaper, its just that my parents don't see the point in it. I mainly want the better camera than my tablet, and simply a decent smaller device, but they still don't see why not to mention that I am paying for the simfree phone myself. I have $ for a $140 focus s without a plan, but not $360/year for such a data plan

[Q] goophoneshop.com; safe seller?

Hello; i'm serriously considering selling my current motorola razr hd, and buying a new phone from goophoneshop.com. I can't find any info on this website, and due to chinese websites having a somewhat flakey reputation, i'm a little concerned. Has anyone bought a phone from this website.
Edit:
I've found another website with the phone i'm after.
http://www.dhgate.com
Does anyone have any experience with this website? I'm particulary concerned with this one, because paypal is not an option.
As I told to another user I suggest to buy from etotalk. It's really fast and serious and you can pay with PayPal. I bought a vivo Xplay and everything went good.

Unfortunatly etotalk does not have the phone i'm after. After observation, i've noticed the phone i was considering on dhgate, is not infact the phone i'm after; but instead a fake, and it doesn't have the one i want either.
I've decided i will buy from goophoneshop.com because they have paypal, and i will report back if they're any good.
The devices there are also clones.

I once wanted to use dhgate to buy some ton of case and sell them locally had a bit of research seemed pretty legit if you ask me and some other reviews approved aswell...
Its kinda the chinese version of ebay..

[Q] plz help

i have proplem with i phone 4s locked with apple IDI've bought it and when i update it it requires the apple id and i don't get the id
If you're saying that there's already an Apple ID on the device but you don't know the password then go to Settings --> Store and then Log out to sign in with another account.
If you don't have an Apple ID i think you can create one from Store settings on your iPhone , or just visit Apple website
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
Please Press the "Thanks" button if i helped C:
i have updated the i phone and when it come to registration it need apple ID and i don't have it ???
Create a new Apple ID

You can also simply skip that part and register afterwards. Bottom right - "Skip".
well then
If this phone was bought from you then I think you should have it. Why don't you ask the Apple Genius? Tell them your phone number and they should be able to checking up for you.
If you ever installed an app from App Store or bought music from iTunes then you definetely have an Apple ID already, and as it is linked with your credit card and purchases it would be a good thing to call Apple in order to get it back... If you just bought one for the first time on the aftermarket then you'll need to create one at some point, but for now you may skip this and enjoy your phone until you need an ID....

Need help with obtaining unlock code!

Guys,
Its a LONG story, but I don't have access to PayPal in order to pay the chinaman for an unlock code for my Maxx. I know my build date is recent enough. My question is this. If I send one of you the payment (through wallet perhaps?) and my imei number, would one of you be kind enough to act as an intermediary for a small fee? Either respond here, or PM me. I'd be forever grateful!!!!
Thanks guys!

Why not contact him and see if there's an alternate way you could pay?

I just figured it would be easier to go through someone who's already done the transaction a few times, that's all.

You don't need a paypal to order an unlock code. I've used regular credit card to buy it on taobao.

I used Google wallet because I don't like PayPal. That way if there is any funny business they only have access to your wallet account, which only had the amount asked for on it.

I would say taobao is a well-known trusted web store. So you can be more or less confident buying there.
I used my regular Mastercard to make the purchase the first time the codes were available. No issues with unauthorized transaction at all.
Ebay
I used ebay and paypal, But ebay takes credit cards too don't they with out paypal?
Google wallet is a better choice. That's what the person on eBay had me pay with.
