Could someone make a free alternative to WidgetLocker? Preferably for the Evo.
I'm kinda surprised there isn't a good one out there. Just wondering if anyone had the know-how and time to make one.
dude, you seriously can't afford two dollars to support the creator? I mean it takes these guys a decent amount of time to create these apps, and they put effort into responding to forum feedback...c'mon, skip your morning coffee and say 'thank you'.
Yeah, it's a few bucks. WidgetLocker is top notch, especially with all of the awesome themes out there. If you don't have a credit card, you can use a Visa gift card with the Market/Google Checkout. When you get the card, read the info and find the website used to register the card. When you register the card, make sure you put the correct information as it will need to match your shipping info linked to Google. Then go to buy the app, put the card info and shipping info in the form, and voila! You can now support developers!

Yeah, its a wonderful app. So 2 dollar is reasonable and worth it
I agree. Developing an app takes time and dedication. I say, 2 dollars for an app that good is a very great.deal.
You can opt for simple lock screen. It's.in the market.

Lol.. Nice excuse. My younger son just bought a piano with his own money (it was almost 800 euros). He's nine (9). Saved for few years. And no, I nor his mother paid none. All money was saved from bdays and xmases and for nice grades from school.

Same here, grr! Apparently it's not available for many of the latest handsets if you read peoples comments of gamelofts facebook status!
Same here but was offered a selection of games that normally sell for £3.99 for just 99p, so I got Asphalt 6.
I looked at it the time they announced that it's free. But no, it's not.

I have never had a problem with Amazon. Unlike flee bay you are dealing with a reputable company vs a seller who may or may be out to scam people.

It can be from a 3rd party seller via amazon, however if you're unhappy with your purchase (if it does come from a 3rd party even) amazon pays shipping back if it's "defective" or not what you ordered (scam/fraud)
Thanks 4 the info
Sent from my Xperia Neo using xda premium
Just like eBay & PayPal, Amazon processes the credit card payment, not the seller. So all the sellers would get is your order & shipping information.
if you're talking about the 32gb card i started a thread about here the other day, then i can assure u it's reliable. had my **** in 5 days and its working perfectly. u can always check seller feedback if it's not sold by amazon itself. pretty reliable.
I have made several purchases from Amazon and I have never had a problem.

glad to see you on the forum and congratz on 10 posts. BUT Please please please do not grave dig something that has not been posted on in almost a year.
so i checked my bank account and the money that was spent for the nexus 5 was returned to my bank account?? what could be going on, it still says pending on the google page for my order.
Google put a pending transaction on the account to check funds are available and I believe it only lasts a couple of days before being removed.

positive thoughts :fingers-crossed:
Yep Google pre auth your card to ensure its a working card they ONLY debit your account once the phone is shipped. As such the money for the phone will sit on your account as an auth amount taking it off your available balance. When Google don't collect the money it becomes avail again. Once the phone ships they will debit your account again for the full amount again and collect the funds this is it will show on your account as a transaction you can see.

Free Nexus 5?
I'm afraid that you have been determined to be unfit to acquire the nexus 5. Better luck next time.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From a technical standpoint it's illegal in many states in the US to fully charge a customer for an item that has not shipped direct to them (meaning it's no longer in the possession of the retail seller). Not every company obeys that law as they should hence the concept of a pre-order payment status in some situations. Pretty sure that Google does the pre-authorization hold for the price of the devices they sell to ensure the money "is there" at least when the order is put in place so they aren't just holding a device for you - you might not actually be able to pay for it at that time, and if another customer is then why screw the other customer out of the potential purchase, for the most part.
See how that works?

I don't get why everyone complains about it not supporting their bank. It took me 5 minutes to set up a new account with Bank of america. Keep a little cash in the account to play with my phone and test it out. I kept wells Fargo as my main bank. Simple as that.

Because you shouldn't have to do that if you have a major bank like Chase or Wells Fargo. Plus, Bank of America is evil.

Crap like a profit of $2.6 Billion in 1st quarter of 2013 from $12 "maintenance fee" charges when you have less than $10 in your checking account, then charges $35 overdraft fee repeatedly. They got their ass in a tizzy of a class action lawsuit over that and lost.
