What if I send the money to someone for a phone on the marketplace via paypal and he/she scams me?
Can I do a disupute on paypal and get my money back?
How can you/me trust anyone on marketplace?
Revised Marketplace RULES / DISCLAIMER pretty much says how to take part in a deal with using your common sense and how to protect yourself as much as possible, using paypal you have protection just make sure you don't do the purchase as a gift.
It really annoys the hell out of me when people like to do so called *cracking apps* when they don't even know that is. Cracking means modifying the source code illegally and using the app for free which would otherwise cost money. You ARE NOT cracking it. You are STEALING it. The developers are working day-night just to make couple of cents but you on the other hand pirating it.
Just go outside and have a deep thought about it. You are willing to spend $50 easily on shopping, whereas, you don't even pay a dime for all the hard work the dev do it for you. It is just stupid. If you found a dollar on the road you wouldn't pick it, but where it comes buying $1 app you google it day and night all day long. I am not a dev but I do understand how it's like. So please please for god's sake stop piracy.
Go go sopa! or not?
Its because they are cheap and don't understand or care that it takes a lot of time and money to develop apps.
In many cases of free apps I wish there was a way to donate to the developer as I hate using something for free that I feel I should pay for.

There is already an off topic thread, why did you create a new one? It's just cluttering up the forum, and unnecessary, since your subject is a small matter and not worth a thread.

Back when I was in school I used to get the cracked apps. Being cheap? No. No debit card nor would parents allow me to use their cards for purchase.

No, it's not stealing.
Here's a nice link for you: plus.google.com/115208695107342318629/posts/cBxoGSEtbQW
After reading it you should go outside and have a deep thought about it
Don't think this is an issue in the large scale. I don't know anyone who would waste his time searching for a cracked app instead of paying one or two bucks for the few apps you want and need to pay for.

To test for a greater time than 15 mins would justify a bit of searching. PowerAMP got it right back in the day. Something like 2 weeks full version trial then you must purchase. Still the best buy I've had on Android.

If you really wanted the app, you would have got the free version. I am sure that you looked for something like " how to get paid apps for free?"
There no access to credit card nor charge cards or whatever cards. So they have to use cracked apps.

Maybe im wrong but i think that at a large scale it doesn't affect developers so much ..

For me the situation is quite different.
I have been stealing apps (yea, i don't affraid to admit it, but im not brave of it). Then i decided to start buying them and supporting developers (bought Cerberus and couple other).
It's maybe my problem, but im affraid to provide my credit card numbers to websites such as google wallet to let them pull the money they want. The paypal here was solution, i could charge my paypal account, so they didn't knew anything about my credit card and it was safe. BUT then wild Google Wallet appeared and there's no such option. No money transfer, no transfer from paypal, i have to provide numbers on back of my credit card. If someone in google goes mad, with the provided cc numbers he can pull as much money as he want. I know it sounds riddiculous, but I like safety. I can't relly on their good will, that thay won't abuse it.
So i stopped buying apps, as there is no way to put money on my account.
I use cracked apps just to check if they are worth the money. I treat them as demo. If I like it I buy it.Cheers

I have no problem purchasing apps, but I do know that aside from the credit card issue, many games and apps just aren't available on playstore in many countries, these are great apps and games and I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be available everywhere, maybe we should look to the causes of many people's pirated apps.

I have to use Market ebabler, and droidVPN so I could view all of the apps on play store.
This is insane!
I've spand 100-200$ for android apps.
I'm with android since 1.5 back in 2009.
Some apps are simply overpriced and I have to find a solution does the app deserve the money, and for that reason I google it to find it for free, just for testing.

There are such things as prepaid credit cards. Just a hint. As an alternative some markets (not Google Play) accept also paypal etc.
Google Play with paypal, at least 20% of us will start buying apps.
I dont use many apps on my android, so buying few apps is not a problem for me. bank in in about RM10 ( 3USD+- ) on my account, and bought apps. Im a student thou. Other than that, I often buy iPad apps, even thou I jailbreak it. Jailbreak for me is only for tweaking. I even bought paid cydia apps. Same goes to my android, root/unknown source/s-off or what so ever, I dont support piracy.
Have the kaching to bought devices/gadgets but dont have the kaching to buy apps? what say you.

this is riddiculous! you don't feel safe to trust google wallett, but you'd trust paypal!!! there's no differencies between those two. they are both corporate giants, if you're paranoid trust neither. or better, don't be paranoid.
My Loss your gain. I bought a Ematic Edan XL and want to root it so I can allow my grandmother to add money to her Monopoly game. Please advise if you have, can build or create a method to Root this thing. My other option is sell it, and buy a known unit that will root. Please advise. I'll gladly pay $20 bucks for anyone who can walk me through this.

You don't know your own Google Password anymore?
Doesn't matter if you don't, you can use a PC to request a password reset...

Is it?
FRP is to prevent THIEVES to use stolen phones...
I don't think, it'll be easy to reset your password...

It is but you do have to answer a few security questions, and prove you are the owner.
This is where 2 step verification comes into play...
Not so easy to get it reset if you aren't the owner...
Certainly, not easy, but not impossible... use YouTube, really helpful
Any moderator reading this thread?? [emoji6]

latest security patch update makes it currently impossible to bypass FRP on the s8+ and you cant even downgrade to marshmallow to do it. they are getting closer to apples icloud...
I have the same but unfortunately I forgot every things which account. I need help to contact google to reset it because I have the invoice and I bought the device from operator in my company.
There's lots of ways around frp. Just Google it I wouldn't waste my time coming to xda for help, everybody here just accuses you of being a thief and shuts down the thread. In a world where everything requires an account, password etc etc a guy can simply forget what goes where. Simple as that
You can try these steps. However, it is not guaranteed it will work

if you have a stolen phone or have been scammed recently, nobody will help you commit voluntary criminal work. contact Google corporation headquarters. or you can contact their tech support facility. the company should help you out.

This is how it works a new user is not going to come on XDA and get help with this issue easily no reputation no one knows you.
Now say I for example I have 3500 posts Am known to visit police auctions in mobile devices. Legally I own the stolen device I have government paperwork proving this. whatever carrier by law has to unblacklist any device I have the paper work for.....
But google frp locks are a little different Get ahold of google if its that important. If you prove you legally own the device for a fee around 200$ american google will reflash them or whatever it is they do and unlock it but you have to send it to google...
Never have done it myself as stated I have legal binding sales slips states I own the device legally no matter the past history......
I wouldnt even bother as most methods you find are rapidly patched.
Its not against XDA to post Frp bypas, But as such this is a new device you should know your password or return it where ever you bought it from or get them to unlock. or contact google with proper paperwork.......
If you cant do these listed options to bypass then there is something else bigger at hand hence no help will be given....
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum.. as a member that is. Over the years I've always came here to find solutions to any problems I might be facing with my phone. I always walked away with a solution except the one time (Galaxy Note 5/Verizon, I wanted to root it.. but I guess no one came up with away around that one).
But enough with the small talk, here is the problem I'm facing and I'm hoping one of the phone experts here can help me, or point me in the right direction. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy J7 Percy SM-J727P from someone online. They wanted $50, bUT since it was Google verification locked I was able to talk them down to $20. Prior to going and picking it up I did a quick search for bypassing the g.oogle verification to see if others has successfully bypassed it, and I found a number of YouTube videos as well as websites with steps on how to do it. So I went ahead and purchased the phone. I began watching videos following a couple methods I saw on YouTube which had comments as recently as 3 days ago of people saying that they were able to bypass it. Little did I know there were so many J7s available. To my luck, I was unable to get any of the methods to work.
So I've come here to ask the experts on their advice on how to bypass the verification on this specific model J7. If anyone knows how and doesn't mind telling me, or pointing me in the right direction on where to read the steps on how to go about bypassing it I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you were handed over a suspicious phone. Maybe stolen or maybe a dumb owner. We dont do FRP unlocking here on XDA. If videos didn't work, you probably wont get any other help from community.
Go to a local mobile shop would be my suggestion.
FRP is there to prevent lost/stolen phones from being used, if you've bought a phone that is FRP locked you should take it up with the seller. Not try to break the lock yourself!
Bottom line, its very likely the phone has either been lost or stolen.
If the phone was obtained legitimately you can ask the seller to reset their password and unlock it as per Samsung's instructions here:
