there's free alternatives to the widgets you get on LP plus. Colorize Widgets, agenda widget, big faces. the only thing you'd be missing is resizing widgets..
don't steal apps
Agreed.
Don't steal.
Developers will just stop developing and then we'll all have to switch to iPhones........ *shudder*

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse. My 15 year old son has a debit card (and sometimes buys apps). If nothing else (and there are tons of ways to get a debit card), you could get a gift card and use it to buy apps. If you feel you must steal apps that cost less than $10, then you have more problems than just not having a credit card.

I disagree. The LP dev is stupid to only allow paypal payments. I would have purchased it a long time ago if it wasn't paypal only.
I am NOT supporting warez here. Just my $.02 on the paypal only thing. I believe LPP would be used more if it didn't require paypal. At the point that a dev is circumventing the market, whats the market for?

whoa whoa whoa.. speaking out of turn here. Not all devs live in places where they are allowed to use google checkout, or to put paid apps in the market.
Don't call the guy stupid just because of where he lives. His country (Uruguay if memory serves) makes it impossible for him to use the market for a paid app. Paypal is his only viable option.
And pirating any apps is completely pathetic, but of course, it will happen. I wish I didn't see it in forums and threads on sites where developers and consumers so regularly go to support android. But, stupidity will be stupidity...
Furthermore, I'm a little confused by the way the author gets apps from the market. you can't bill to carrier, you have to use a credit card (unless you're on ATT, and even then, a month ago you couldn't). Does your mom buy all your apps? If that's the case, they why can't she buy you this one?
With T-Mobile you can charge your account as well! To be honest OP pay for the app!!! Support the developer!! Borrow a friends card! But don't take the slimy way out and look for a free pass! What if the shoes was on the other foot??

Maybe the author doesn't normally buy paid stuff. I have been on Android for years, and I have only purchased ONE app. I have donated to a few devs that make roms, but I typically don't buy apps. I WAS going to purchase LPP, but once I found out I have to deal with paypal, I quit. It's not worth it for me to go through transferring money to paypal, (3 days) and then making a payment to LPP, only to wait until the paypal payment has been recieved (another day or two) just to get a $2.99 home replacement.

Visa. MasterCard. Go to just about any bank, grocery store, or variety store and purchase one. With PayPal, you don't even need a CC. Just open a checking account.
BTW - I agree paying with PayPal is not the best option. I had a bad experience with an app and I will never do that way again. However, I still will not steal the app.

Umm you don't have to actually pay with your PayPal account, they just do the processing, you can pay with whatever credit/debit card you want. I don't even have a PayPal account and I bought the app just fine using my debit card.
PayPal can be used, can't it? I think these developers work extremely hard and it's difficult, even being broke, to use their fantastic programs and not compensate them for their time and effort.
Think of the position you're in... if your valuable time and hard work went without reward and you got no return on your investment, you'd be upset as well. It's just a couple of bucks here and there. You can EASILY find these on Google but please, don't do it, man.
I'm all for warez when someone is just going to be used once or if I'm uncertain if I'm going to pay full price for something. But if something is honestly worth the money, even my cheap ass will buy it. This world is ****ty enough. Don't go ripping off developers.

I do this sometimes but if the app is not in usd, your forbidden to charge it to your tmobile acct.
I would like to pay for apps, but when I try pay in the market it tells me to put credit card details in and won't accept my debit card. Anyone know how to solve this?

Hello
I am trying to sell my Captivate on Ebay. I have had 4 different people - all located in the Ukraine inquire about the phone. Noone else from anywhere has asked about it.
Is there something about the Captivate and Ukraine?
Maybe it's one person with multiple accounts, or some of her/his friends.
Doesn't matter where they are from as long as they pay, and do NOT ship the phone until you have the money in your hands.
Phones are hard to get over seas and can be resold for 10x what they pay for it

Use paypal for take the payment. And just ship after check that you have the money in your account.
Be cautious. I've had people try to scam me when I sold my Archos 101. They offered $100 more than what I was selling it for, but the catch is they wanted me to send the Archos to his cousin(who was also out of state).It just didn't seem right . Also have a friend that dealt with a buyer from another country. The check or whatever they sent him ended up costing him money somehow. So I only deal with local buyers. Just my 2 cents
Thanks for the tips guys
I wouldnt do it! I would never buy over seas and if you sold i would go thre PayPal for sure and dont send till money in hand. Good luck!

Keep in mind that PayPal will freeze your *entire* account for the duration if the buyer files a dispute.... you better be able to PROVE s/he got the phone beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just fyi.
I'll buy it

Ebay have a buyer/seller protection system, in that case they have to prove that he didnt sent the phone or isnt as was in the description. And if the buyer want the money back have to ship back to the seller. You can read about it in the ebay security center, i bought my phone in ebay, took a week to get from US to Venezuela.

+1 ship only on correct payment, not 1000 donkeys in exchange for your hard earned £50.00
just make sure it is on your terms i.e pay pall and quote for insured shipping. simples

As long as you get the money, who cares?
Sold an iPhone on eBay to a guy in Ukraine. The tracking system showed that it never arrived and he got his money back through PayPal. I was out an iPhone, eBay's fees, and the cost of shipping.
My local PO told me they hear things like that all the time about Ukraine. The postal system is apparently awful there.
Edit: Just because you get the money doesn't put you in the clear, PayPal put negative balance on my account and called me everyday after the dispute threatening to turn me over to collections if I didn't pay them back.

also require them to buy insurance, that will protect u and the buyer if the package supposedly never arrives
not worth the hassle or risk you should have no problem selling to a buyer in US or Canada both of which tend to be safer than say Nigeria or Ukraine.
Good point on the insurance. So in case it does get "lost", my money won't be completely lost.
Just in case anyone doesn't know the check scam. The way it works is they send you a check for the product. It looks legit, even your bank will think its real. Banks will normally put the money into your account within 1-3 days if the amount of the check is below a certain amount. They do this before the check ever clears with the bank listed on the check (many times its an overseas bank so it takes even longer to clear). So what happens is that you get your money, ship the product, and then a couple weeks later the bank calls you up and says you owe them that money back because the check bounced. Or worse yet, the bank deducts it directly from your account, which happens, and you get overdrawn. Now you also owe overdraft fees. Problem is you cant hold on to the product for the length of time it takes for the check to fully clear, many times its 2-4 weeks.
So lesson is use paypal, cash, or even western union. No checks ever. There are plenty of scams out there but this one is one of the easiest for people to pull off.
In the last month I purchased three items on ebay that were scams, two Android sticks and a quad core phone. ebay sent me alerts on the two sticks after I had paid but I got the money back quickly. Still waiting for ebay to refund for the phone.
Two of the auctions gave me tracking numbers and packages were shipped. The phone package contained two fake Pandora beads and the Android stick package contained two small black beads ... sense a theme here?
Here's what I figured out:
1) If a seller has been selling paintings, clothes, or whatever and they switch to high tech items suddenly, run away. Either the account was hacked or they used the other sales to build positive feedback.
2) If the price seams too low, by a LOT, run away. $200 for a $320 phone ain't happening.
3) Tracking numbers don't mean squat, I got beads!
4) If you don't see any feedback for items like yours, run away.
5) If they have a lot of "Private" auction items, run away.
6) Just because they answer your questions about the items it doesn't mean squat. My phone seller was very helpful and responded quickly to every question. He's the guy that sent the Pandora beads.
I buy/sell a LOT on ebay, thousands of dollars per year. This last month has been an eye-opener, I've never had three sellers from China try to rip me off. Actually these are the first Chinese sellers that have done it to me. Everything else has been great with them. They usually ship faster than US sellers, maybe it was an end of the year blip, we'll see.
Amazon is similar, but I feel it is better and more safe.

Wow, that's some bad luck. 3 at a time too. But yeah, these tips would apply to just about buying anything off ebay. You must do all your research about the seller and product before buying anything and if anything feels off, I would rather not risk it.

Only if you buy from 3rd party sellers that aren't fulfilled by Amazon. If you buy direct from Amazon or a fufilled seller than they are very safe to buy from with free returns (print free prepaid shipping label) if something is wrong.
Jeeze, talk about a string of bad luck. I was ripped off a pair of Jordans many years back, but luckily I got my money back. Good luck, hope you get refunded on the phone.

You're supposed to get your case decided within 72 hours, today will make 5 days! I don't know what the holdup is, the guy agreed to refund the money.
He can't do it because his paypal account is locked, but they can!
That is odd... hope you get the refund soon!

So both my brothers have iphone 3g, both their phones are messed up so i thought i'd do something nice and buy them both nexus 5 phones. Turns out they both think it's too expensive and i should have not wasted my money and they want me to return the nexus and get a refund. Question is how do i do that? On amazon, it's extremely easily to print out return forms but google is so hard. There used a be a contact email for google support but now i don't see it anywhere.
How do i return and get a full refund on both the nexus 5? Also is it like amazon, meaning that they will have a prepaid shipping label or do i have to pay for the return shipping? DOES google also charge a restocking fee? Both the nexus 5 boxes have not been opened at all so it's still brand new, would i get a full refund? thanks in advance!
Just a thought, you could try helping out people in your area stuck in the queue and selling it to them?

I think there's a number to call on the Google play site in Devices section. As far as I know, you can get a full refund if the device is defective. I never heard of a full refund if the buyer "doesn't want it anymore" when buying from Google play. If you manage to return it, they'll look at the phone before they give you a refund. Again, that is if it was defective.

You could always go the ebay route. If anyone comes in here chiming that you shouldn't make a profit, just remember you bought these with the intention of helping your brothers out.

Heck, I could sub for one of your brothers and you could give one to me.
Have sent mine back nearly 2 weeks ago - still waiting for refund. Everytime i chase up. the support team read the same scripts and say it takes 14 days. However they can't even track my return. despite them sending me the return label and me being able to see the return being delivered to them on the parcel force site.
Very very disgraceful service.

Retailers need to make money.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Retail pricing isnt govern by Google... If you dont like reatil pricing, by from Google Play or sign a contract to get discount on the phone.
Google doesn't make any profit from selling the phone. They just want to get their services into as many hands as possible. A retailer, on the other hand, actually wants to make money on the sale of the phone itself. It doesn't make sense that a retailer would buy the phone from Google or LG and then turn around and sell it for the same price. They're in business to make money.
Exactly. Essentially, Google has "cut out the middle man" by providing Nexus 5 for a reasonable price on the Play Store. They're at least covering the costs if not making a small profit on each sale.
Anywhere else you're still dealing with the middle man. The middle man always wants his cut.
