[APP] Locket Get paid while you unlock your phone

So today this app called Locket was just released. Basically it pays you about 1 penny sometimes more for each ad. The ads are not really annoying like those push notifications. How it displays is when you wake up your phone and then it's there on the lock screen. From what i see it's pretty much like deals and big brand names. Check it out, if you're like me you unlock your phone A LOT throughout the day lol. Oh and the best part is you don't have to actually visit the ad since it's already paying you for displaying it on your phone.
Here's the link shortened

Can someone please post the .apk? I'm writing from Iceland...

Is anyone else having it not count for every unlock or just count every once and a while?

It seems to be set to allow you to earn a penny a few times in a specific time period then a wait for a specific time period is set for it to stop displaying 1 penny when that time is up you are able to receive a few cents until you do so many times within a set time then it just loops

3 cents per hour. Pays out in PayPal at the moment, but in future updates, it might be Amazon/Google Play cards (My guess anyway).
They're thinking of other ways to display ads, so far they're saying that they don't want to go the notifications route.
I've made $0.56 so far. They said they give out bonuses sometimes too. I think I already got a $0.10 one.

Well hot digity dog.... I can quit my day job!!!
If this is legit I doubt it will last long nor will anyone make much money.I am sure there is a limit on the unlocks per day and not worth it.
Next here comes the guy who makes an app where your lockscreen blinks on and off constantly......See where all this is going???,,,,,,wont be going very far thats for sure. Save yourself some time and move on, most likely a scam anyways.
EDIT: Well I will eat my words, I guess its legit. You just need an app to unlock your phone screen three times per hour , 24 hours a day to make $262.80 over the course of a year,

They've already said that they can easy oust people for trying to sign up multiple times. And obviously, they also have your IP address among other stuff. I am a part of so many survey groups and stuff. They aren't going to catch you right away, but they're going to hit you the MOMENT you try and cash out.
They can do it the way AT&T does it... They can see whether or not you have a tethering app by just having one of their apps installed. Hence a lot of people get caught tethering sooner or later by just having the myAT&T app installed. These guys can tell whether you have Tasker or similar installed and if it's running.

Need locket-beta apk file
Hey guys,
I'm from India and I'd love to try this app. I've tried changing my Billing address in Google Wallet to be able to download this app but I still cannot. I'm now being charged in USD for purchases instead of INR but this app still shows as incompatible with any of my devices. Also, I've tried using Market Enabler but that hasn't worked either. Can someone upload the apk for me please?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Samsung Pay Working on Verizon Note 5!!!

My brother just got Samsung Pay working on his Verizon Galaxy Note 5!!! Check out the video, where he explains how he did it.
https://youtu.be/_A4r6CDAwUQ

It looks like they unlocked Samsung Wallet on the latest OTA. I was going to post documentation when someone posted about the new OTA but I was too lazy to upload the images online and crap from my phone. I'm sure if I look now someone posted it

I'm stuck on activation pending. Even though my card yes been activated.

Had to sideload the apk and framework, but it's up and running somewhat. Now just have to find a card that's compatible with it.

According to samsung, this is why it's not activated on their end. They couldn't even see my card. They also suggested that even if the card did get pass this point it would probably fail when trying to actually use samsung pay due to verizon not supporting it.
Also the framework can not be uninstalled.

I love how these 2 come in here all excited that they got it working, yet they don't even have it working on their device. Dopes.

I work for Verizon, I would like to be clear that on the latest update, samsung pay features were unlocked from the device. Verizon does not "officially support samsung pay" but it is compatible with our phones.
---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------
Now it is up to samsung to allow verizon phones without an official partnership. Verizon has unlocked the necessary functions that were previously locked.

According to the video in the OP, that guy has subscribers who have paid at Walmart and gas stations. I'd sure like to see a video

I just side loaded it all went well and it works but my card won't activate, have the update and used american express. Got the email from Samsung and all and says my device isn't supported when attempting to do the free wireless puck.

Card has to activate to qualify

I have an AmEx Blue cash and get to validating card info...then agree to all...then always, "registration failed." My fathers american express said it wasnt supported either (on a AT&T Note 5. his citi visa worked)

Ok, hold the boat. You guys are seriously typing your bank card info into an apk you downloaded from some guys Google Drive?
No offense to anyone, and I'm sure it isn't hacked. But REALLY!??

I am told to say this:
Verizon is examining Samsung pay right now. We want to make sure that our customers have the latest technology but we also want to make sure it is safe and secure.

Here is the talk going around the office:
Verizon required Samsung to block access to the features that makes Samsung pay work. The latest update that black was removed because negotiations with Samsung led Verizon to agree in opening the device up before the official release in case an agreement was made . At this time we are now able to install the Samsung Pay framework, and the phone will automatically give it special permissions to access elements of the phone (Possible root exploit???). But Verizon and Samsung did not come to an agreement to support Samsung pay, and most likely will not. Samsung likely would like a department dedicated to mobile payments and trained employees to assist with problems, Verizon is not willing to do this for a competitor to their current agreement with Android Pay. It is now up to Samsung to officially support Samsung Pay without Verizon's agreement. In theory if we made a modded APK that tricked Samsung into thinking we are on another device that is supported our cards would activate.

I love how at&t, tmo, sprint... All are OK with Samsung pay (legit fears or $$ or whatever). Yet, Verizon thinks they're smarter and sees it's not safe when no body else does, or thinks they can make money off not having it, when nobody else does or I have no idea. At&t is huge, the original iPhone love child, yet they seem to be on with this. Verizon just doesn't like to do things bc of any monetary advantage withholding it. They blocked GPS for heaven's sake when it was just starting. Who blocks GPS?!?

I downloaded/installed Samsung Pay and its framework early yesterday (Sept 28), but didn't get around to launching it like everyone else. When I woke up this morning at 6am, I noticed that the OTA security update finally decided to rear its ugly head as a notification. I postponed the update until 5pm. After making a few runs, I finally made it back home.
Free of distractions, and with Samsung Pay being a hot topic on the tech sites I frequent, I decided to give it a shot. As soon as I launch the app, I'm greeted with the following message.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

What happens after tapping "OK"? Could this be a software up from Samsung? Nope, as you may have guessed. Verizon has made it so that launching Samsung Pay now forces the official OTA from them.
Upon receiving the update from VZW, Samsung pay will stop functioning altogether. At least, that's what's being reported by the guy who made the comment below.

Craigslist Note 5-- Spengate victim

Picked up a T-mo note 5 on CL. Looked great; all features I could think to test were good. IMEI# check out as good mostly., I just didn't think to test the spen detection in the holder. It's broke. Dumbass must have inserted the pen backwards and yanked it out
Anyways I picked up all the tools I need to safely open the note 5 and see what I can do with the broken sensor; figured I'd keep this thread updated with my progress on fixing.

I wouldn't try a store, I would wait a week until tmo updates their system and sees that's the phone you hit and then call 611 and tell them the problem with NO mention of where you got the phone unless they ask and even then you can just say it was a present or something.
They don't like it when you don't buy phone off them and use Craigslist instead.

Like ThC23 recommended, I called 611 and they asked me when I bought the device, and I just said "IDK it was a gift." they asked me when the problem started and I said "IDK, it just never worked"
Tmo connected me to Samsung and they gave me an RMA number. I'm sending them my note 5.
Thanks for all your help guys. It's kinda a pitty though, I was looking fwd to taking it apart a bit lol.
Glad I didn't put my Note 4 on sale just yet. Looks like I'll be using it again for a few days.

So samsung didn't do anything to fix it, and they are just mailing it back to me. Looks like the A-hole who sold it to me lied (surprise surprise) the IMEI number has been changed, so samsung won't replace it.
So I'll be going back with my original plan of trying to fix it myself. I wish I could find that broken plastic lever that must have broken, online. but who knows. Maybe it's not working for another reason. There is at least one video where the guy takes Note 5 apart and shows us where it broke, but it just happens to work when he puts it back together, even though he didn't rly do anything to it besides remove the broken of bit off plastic that was preventing the sensor from moving.

As sad as this is, it just reminds us that buying off CL is not always a good idea. I feel for you. ?

Any progress buddy ?

yeah it's still taken apart cause my soldering iron is not meant for these tiny tiny components, but I have not given up. I actually got the spen detection working for a few minutes and it quit working, so I'm on the right track I just need to get better at the soldering. maybe I should stop by radio shack.
as for that plug I broke, i don't know what it does. I did a half assed soldering job and I got the note 5 back together to see what is not working and all I see is the lights on the front buttons don't light up. If that's all that that blue cable does I might not care...
does anyone know what this blue cable does?
https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/wMyYTEoFThUUNkHD.huge
it's on the bottom right of the image
Update: Spen detection sensor fixed!! hopefully it stays fixed this time.
Now I want to get that blue cable figured out. I suppose I could just quit and not have my front buttons light up. not much of a loss there.
--looks like its the gps cable.
-- no def not the GPS cable. GPS works fine.
-- finger print sensor gives an error. I bet it's just power going to the front buttons. weird thing is the lights on the buttons flickers with a vibration once when the phone boots up/.

problems setting up Samsung Pay Beta

Anyone else having these problems? I got the Samsung Pay beta link in my Gear app, it installed the app on the watch (bluetooth classic) and on my Note 4 phone, but when I try to get it to work, I've run into a wall: on the phone side, after I enter my credit card info, after it tries to confirm it, I get a notification saying "Gear not responding. Try again." (And trying again does not work.)
On the watch side, if I long press the back key to initiate Samsung Pay, I dial through the set of instructions and press the "Start using Samsung Pay now" arrow on the last screen, I get a screen saying "Access denied. An unauthorized modification has been detected. Samsung Pay Gear will be initialized."
I've done soft and hard resets, deleted and reinstalled the Gear app on the phone, no change. And I wasted a couple of hours with various branches of Samsung's support folks, mostly explaining to them stuff I knew that they didn't. Any help would be appreciated, especially if you've tried and succeeded in getting Samsung Pay Gear to work with a Note 4 phone. Thanks all.

I hit reset on the Samsung pay beta screen within the gear app. That cleared the settings and now it works

Also, when i go to the gear part on the phone where you can rearrange the applications and delete them, they have 2 samsung pay apps showing, and neither one says beta after it. i think they have major bugs and were just going to wait for an update. sure is nice being able to pay with my watch with the cc's i have on. , now ill use samsung pay.

I have a S7 edge. my watch stopped transmitting the nfc signal with the 2 cards that are loaded. i then reset it and then was able to put the 2 cards on and is working. i did notice that you need to have the info from the card appear EXACTLY like it appears on the credit card. i have a middle initial on one and not on another. when the card with shouldn't have had a middle initial was fixed, it worked fine.
The only cards i can't get to work are the ones from wells fargo. it gets to the point were wells fargo has you sign the agreement then won't go to the next step, just gives me an error and to try again. I've tried everything i can think of and those Wells Fargo cards just wont work. they work great on the phone just not on the watch.
i also noticed when i get into the gear area where you can rearrange the apps on the watch, you can also delete the application, its has samsung pay listed twice and it doesn't say beta.

Well, if you're getting the same "access denied" screen with your S7 Edge then I guess it's not simply that I'm on a Note 4. Have you been able to try another phone to see if there's something about the phone that's causing the problem?

yes, both Wells fargo are on the list. They work great on the phone, just can't get the watch to take them. it goes to wells fargo but the other cards they sent a sms code to validate it but got the error message during that point.
also, having samsung pay show up twice in my gear settings makes me wonder, the place where you can delete apps on the watch. doesn't say beta either just samsung pay. I've sent in multiple bug emails so hopefully they can fix it.

Yeah my experience is that Samsung Support in general is a black hole of polite cliches. I'm trying to get this case bumped to another level via email, so far with no success. (And while it's possible that the firmware update would fix it -- I haven't gotten it yet either -- there are clearly folks who've got SP working without the update. So there's some kind of gremlin somewhere.

I have a Galaxy Alpha, Samsung Pay is not supported yet on this smartphone, does that mean i won't be able to use my gear to pay?
Kind regards!

If your phone and location -- it's U.S. only, afaik -- are eligible for the SP beta, when you run the Gear manager on your phone, there will be a "Samsung Pay Beta" option on the first screen. (Make sure your Gear manager app is the latest version available.)

Yeah I'm sure the update would help. But you're right. I've seen so many ppl without it have it work perfectly

FWIW, I finally got the S2 firmware update, and it did not solve the "Access Denied" on watch/"Your Gear is not responding" on phone errors. A week ago, Samsung support finally emailed me that "We have escalated this issue to our appropriate department for further review and consideration." But I have heard nothing since. Let's hope somebody's working on it.

Can I ask when you bought your watch?
Trying to chase down a possible cause of this problem: I noticed over on Samsung's website under registered devices that they think I purchased the watch in Jan. '16, when I actually bought it in Oct. '15. Someone over on the Samsung community forum with the same "access denied" bug has a similar confusion about purchase dates, who also bought just after it was released. I'm wondering if the discrepancies might be making the security system for Pay on the watch freak out.

As soon as the classic released I got it. Not sure when that exactly was last year, August? Or September

Talk and Surf

Does anyone know if you can talk and surf on the internet at the same time? I know you could on the Note 2 but not the Note 5.

Not until there is volte

They need to get on it. Other carriers have it.

I totally agree, I still can't figure out why they haven't yet.

Its a mystery. They told me managers bring it up in thier meetings. But not sure why the wait.

Probably going to be a while. I'm on the Samsung Galaxy S5, one of the first phone with volte. It's been over 2 years and still we don't have it yet.

This was the one thing I disliked when leaving verizon 2 years ago.. I had it on my S3, came to Sprint on the Note 4 and none. I was a little pissed, but they kept saying it was coming and here we are.

That's Sprint's usual answer to missing features - "it will roll out soon."
If you are having network or signal issues, it's always, "We were working on towers in your area".

True at least my bill is smaller than with Verizon. Network has been decent too.

They let it be known early they were doing the complete lte roll out.... and when that was complete they would go back and add the volte ...

Sprint would always tell me I should be getting LTE and I never did. Then, I got my Note 7 and my area is covered in LTE. It's just my old device (One m7) didn't receive all the available LTE bands. The network really has come a long way.

Well at least it's better now.

If you have Google Voice, Hangouts Dialer installed and don't mind calling people from your Google Voice number you now have a temporary work around

I just came from a Note 3 that still does Talk & Surf. Took it for granted until yesterday. The only tricky part is being consistent using the Dialer once Google Voice is set up. Hope this helps although I'd prefer to have what Verizon has already without any workarounds..

I came from the Note 3 as well. I thought there was something wrong with my Note 7 until I saw this thread. That sucks.

It does. It's mind blowing how they make new phones & leave out the best parts of the previous. Wifi calling and the Voice record app is gone too. They have a recorder Within Samsung Notes but not the same. Even the Edge had the version that can type what you say. Handy for musicians or taking notes.. Patiently waiting for root, ad blocker and Exposed would be the ****
