I was wondering if anyone had or tried the Starbucks app for the Gear S3 in the US. A user in Korea posted a review about it and it seems pretty cool. Locate nearby Starbucks locations, pre-order and pay through the app, bring up available coupons/card info to be scanned at the store, etc.
Sadly, it looks like I'm unable to post outside links here since I'm new here. Hope we get this in the US.

I suggest you try the other Starbucks app for samsung watches, called "SB Coffee Card". You can download from the Samsung store and it works with S3/Active/Galaxy/Sport/etc....and it's a standalone app (No need for phone or internet connection) so always usable.
If you don't want to pay for the app, just take a picture of the barcode on your Starbucks card and send it to the gallery on your watch
I tried the picture of barcode approach and it was hit and miss. Just tried the SB Coffee Card and it works! (On my Galaxy) I should point out this app is not made by starbucks (the author is upfront about that) - but it's probably the app Starbucks SHOULD have built. It works standalone (no need for internet connection, or phone nearby). Realistically I am not interested in preordering or topping up from credit card using my watch. I just want to pay for my bux and get away from all the hipsters
Maybe wait for a black friday deal on the app...or coupons. Not that $3 is too much to spend on an app, I just like free stuff.
A tatoo would work too and then you wouldn't even need the watch. But that's more than $3

Hello all!
I have been lucky enough to finally get my Nexus One. Although my purchasing process was riddled with issues and lacked any support. I got the phone and it seems to be free of defects, and I am loving it even more than I thought I would.
I am moving from a Windows Mobile phone (FINALLY), and I had an app called Newsbreak which I used all the time. It would basically download all my feeds for offline viewing/listening including audio/video podcasts, and use the SD card for storage.
I have been looking for an equivalent on android and I appear to be left wanting. Most RSS reader appear to be online only, don't seem to support downloading podcasts, or requires Google Reader (sorry not wanting to give my Google Account password).
Does anyone know of a good offline RSS reader?
I have tried Newsrob (needs Google Reader), Listen (no offline?) and I am currently reviewing BlueRSS. I like BlueRSS, but I see no option to store on the SD card nor how to download the podcast or website for offline viewing. Since BlueRSS says it does this, I am not sure if I am missing something or it is just not able to do what I require.
If I need to I will design my own, but this is the only thing keeping me from using the N1 full time.
Thanks!
Check out Doggcatcher (no idea why they chose that name). Here's the feature list:
http://www.snoggdoggler.com/FeatureOverview
BeyondPod is a good solution as well. I use it for audio/video.
You can't beat Newsrob for RSS integration with GReader though. You can just create a new google account and export all your feeds and than use that exclusively for Newsrob.

DoggCatcher looks like ti will work and I will check out BeyondPod. I did not find these before since they appear to be paid apps, and I just moved my SIM over so it was hiding them from me before.
Wish there was a free one though. Maybe that will be my first Andriod project.
I really don't like Google Reader. Its convenient, but giving my login information to an app is just not safe. If there was a Google one I might try it, but they seems to want to force people to be online. Why use bandwidth so irresponsibly? Just don't make sense.
Thanks all!
Like the title says, get a free phone skin from Marlboro and skinit.com.
1. Scan qr code in picture below
2. Set up account
3. Create a brand
4. Get it shipped
Says it could 8-10 weeks for delivery, but I just ordered mine on 23OCT and received it in the mail 01NOV. Limited to folks 21 and older and they do ask for SS# for age and identification verification so there is that catch. Other than that, no strings attached. Figure if you're a nonsmoker you can just make up some stuff when you create the account for brand preference and such. I also included pics of mine. If you decide to get one come back and post pics.
It does limit you to 2 characters on the brand and as hindsight is always 20/20, I realized I could've done my favorite college or university as opposed to the initials of my name.

As I lurk more often than not, I'm crossing my fingers that I posted the pics correctly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Pics are pretty small, and appear to be screen shots of pictures, but they worked. From looks pretty cool, but they ask for way too much info to feel comfortable IMO. Cool find though.
i already am on the marlboro mailing lists and get several freebies a year, so theyve already gotten my info. that being said, i ordered this a few weeks ago also. im not one for phone skins so i had it made to fit an iphone 3gs for my dad. quality is soso. just a typical skinit skin. not bad for free.
Not many skins to choose from, but hell its free, I got the one that looked like chrome for the toolboxes on the back of truck... the brand thing is pretty cool too, makes it unique. 15 bucks saved.
How strange
Thanks for the post, I don't see why you need to be 21+ when you're legally allowed to smoke at 18. Lol. I'm not the one giving away free skins, so i guess it's on them.
Give them social security for a free identify theft for them and get a free skin? HMMM....

Store, protect, and share amazing things.
My dropbox is almost full, cause with that 5GB you can't really store many files. I heard about copy.com, and I think it's a bit more secure (the creators are security experts) and you get 15 GB free space + 5GB with each referral. So I thought maybe you guys want to try it...
If you click on the link below, you can sign up and we will both receive 5GB extra storage. Very nice, isn't it?
(You get your 5GB bonus only if you install one of the clients/apps. APP)
TRY IT!
I got 108 gigabyte for free on my dropbox, so i don't really need another service.
How many referrals have you got so far from xda?
Yeah, but that's only for one year/two years isn't it? Got one so far.
I started using that service and I got so far around 35gb (three referrals through my signature, thanks guys!). I'm a little suspicious when it comes to clouding private data in new services, I mean, did anyone use it? How do you know it is trustworthy ?
Other then that, I really need to read the T&Cs and stuff! If it's limited it's not really that cool.

Yeah that's always the case. You never know it's fully secure, but from what I heard, I find it more trustworthy "looking" than other services. But indeed, you never know.
Can we just create VM (to install app) and then self-invite for unlimited space?

Yeah, but you're gonna need much time for creating all those accounts. And it's better if other people can enjoy free space too.
EDIT: I thought I read they created some sort of protection, so that people were not going to create fake accounts etc.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordon...ost-release-date-galaxy-s9-plus/#74be71f6251c
Galaxy S9 pre-orders have begun for Samsung’s deceptively well-upgraded (if controversial) smartphone and it will hit stores on March 16th. But read Samsung’s small print and there’s a nasty surprise in there which can hit your wallets hard, and maybe even make you cancel your upgrade plans altogether…
.
.
.
Heavily marketed across the site is ‘Samsung Upgrade’. This entitles you “Get the latest Galaxy Phone every year” and it is the default payment option when you try to pre-order the Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus, regardless of whether you requested it. Choose it and you are still told the “total” is the standard price for the phones (either $720 or $840), but Premium Care has been added “on separate financing terms.”
Premium Care is not listed as part of the “total” but will cost you an extra $11.99 per month over a two year period. The first month is free so that’s 23 payments totalling an extra $276. If you’d like to find out more about it Samsung states: “For additional questions regarding Samsung Premium Care, please call 1-866-371-9501.”
Furthermore, if you do place this order by accident then because the first month of Premium Care is free you won’t notice it in your billing. You will in month two, but then you have already passed the 30-day return window. Samsung also retains the right to increase the monthly cost of Premium Care at any time with 30 days notice.

That's if you chose that option, you could have paid it in full or just financed it as well.
Yeah, and it's not like it was hidden that they were adding on the insurance, unlike the article seems to imply. It'd also standard procedure for such an arrangement, and apple, Motorola, Google and others do the same. This article came off to me as nothing but click bait.

Forbes and most other new sites are click bait and propaganda crap.
In what way is this hidden? (Also seems to be US site only)

I looked at it, didn't seem that hidden. It defaulted to the care plan but as long as you read the 3 options its not hard to figure out which one to select if you just want the phone.
If you can't tell the difference between those 3 options, then you shouldn't be purchasing the phone on the internet.
I recently tried to start using Google Pay. Out of 5 attempts to use it, it worked only once.
I suspect maybe I just don't know proper way/place to put the phone on the terminal. Or maybe it is being closed when screen is off. I did make sure that the battery option is to not close it.
Any suggestions?
Use it all the time.... Never failed me yet.. <kiss of death >
Just make sure you unlock your phone and have it on the home page. You DONT need to open the Google pay app.. Also make sure nfc is always on.. When I use it I just touch the phone camera on the contact less symbol. Screen up. And ping! money taken....

And I have google pay set automatic under battery /launch.
Thanks forthe feedback.
Well, I'm giving up on it for now. In some cases it doesn't work (maybe the cashier tells me wrong about out being available).
More of the problem is that in my area even places that take mobile payments take one other than Google Pay. Interestingly I find more taking Samsung pay. I don't know why a Samsung user would use that instead of Google.
Also I find it interesting that vendors would use one and not another, given that the are only three that likely would be used be the masses.

I'm also fairly new to this contactless payment and is clueless about paying with devices until recently I bought a fitbit versa for my wife which has fitbit pay.
From what I understand (anyone pls correct me if I'm wrong), as long as the cashier accepts contactless payment, you can use any types including all credit and debit cards with this wave logo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Americanexpressplatinumemvcontactless.jpg), android pay, apple pay, samsung pay, fitbit pay and etc. I have yet to see fitbit pay logos at all cashiers here and wife has been using it successfully.
Also, when trying to pair with my Jabra headset using nfc, it's impossible to pair it with the phone when there's a cover (Nillkin) on so maybe that is the problem. Perhaps you can find another nfc device to practice on your phone.
