[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thinkjoey:
can we not use this as a basher thread?

What is done is done.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horhokokki:
I am not willing to pay anything before I know that the software will be bugfree and usable. It's kinda stupid to buy dozens of programs which are not working at all. And fifteen minutes payback is quite a little time to see if the program is what you think it would be. And even if it's only few euros, .. if you are forced to many.. that will be quite a lot of money.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtGoldy:
That's why there's a refund period. And most developers extend that period beyond what the play store gives.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Dear Americans, we use DEBIT cards. Google Wallet only supports Credit Cards. To get a credit card here you need to have a stable income of over 20.000 a year, solid job (no freelance) and be over 21. Which rules out 80% of the users.

Most of the 750 million people in Europe can't even GET a credit card

.

So it's not all cheap, greedy people. Keep your prejudice to yourself.

Oh yes, we have prepaid credit cards: They don't support refunds. So we have to find alternative means to test an app.

There, welcome to the rest of the world. :rolleyes:

Now, I for one would also like to know if it works. Simply because I use a few apps that are only available for US users. (Stop being so selfish as a market. Really.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyjones:
Everyone is an individual. I would agree that more open mindedness is necessary.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bp328i:
I use my debit card with Google Wallet without issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
A lot of Americans use debit cards on the Play Store just fine. How? Most any debit card attached to a bank account can also be run as a credit card. We call them "check cards" when they have a credit card company logo and can be run as either. The difference? Running as credit has no terminal fee or minimum purchase (as part of the credit card merchant's agreement), does not require a PIN, works in more places, but often requires a signature, withdraws from your bank/checking account (no credit line), and does not have the same consumer protections (harder to get your money back if stolen or misused). Also, many places only take one payment type or the other (credit or debit) so a check card conveniently works at both.

Most anyone with a bank account can get a check card even if they don't qualify for credit. Is it really so different there?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I tried that, no such luck. Our cards only have the account number (9 digits), card number(3 digits) and nothing else. I HAVE no number to fill in to Google Wallet.

Tried using my phone plan, but it asks for a CreditCard Number. Which I don't have. (Hah, good luck getting T-Mobile to issue me a Credit Card. :laugh:)

That would be very useful. But no, we don't have those. I'm not sure our banks even know of the concept. :(

We have a Debit card with a 4 digit pin. This is direct withdraw. Maestro, it's called.

For Credit Cards we need to get an additional, paid service (50 bucks a year, I believe. and that's just for the registration, you also need to pay for the card.) with Visa, MasterCard or similar, detached services. They're not directly part of the bankservice.

For instance, I have an account with ABN AMRO. If I wanted to get a credit card, I'd have to apply to VISA or ABN Gold (which then gets me a VISA card. This type of account you can only get if you have a balance of over 50.000 on the account. Which'll never happen. I'm a graphic designer.)

You can't actually pay with a credit card in the shops here. Well, you can, but doing so requires filling out a (paper!)cheque, 25 Euro administration fee and a transaction time of a week. In every shop. For every purchase. And even then 80% of the shops refuse it as a method of payment.

The advantage is that if we ever loose our card (or accidentally put the bill unshredded in the paper bin), people can't empty our accounts without the pin number; with a credit card only the cardnumber is sufficient for payment. (The security code is on the back of a credit card...)

That said, I do have a Prepaid 3V VISA card (It's an alarming shade of pink and can only be charged (pre-charged, it works like a prepaid SIM) up to a specific amount per month, but for Google Play it works well enough. Renting a car, however, has to be done over the course of 4 months.) For the apps I do consider worth the payment. (Apex, Tapatalk, Moonreader, etc.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Switch banks. All debit cards have a 16 digit card number.

TWEAKED 2.5
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Not in

Europe

, they don't.

Our cardnumber isn't the same as the one they use in the US. It's literally just the number of the card, so when you open an account, you always get 001.

It's not personalized.

Open the account, you get:

Account 112234567, Card 001.

Get a new one card after it expires, is lost or stolen, it's:

Account 112234567, Card 002.

Payment over the internet is done via iDeal or a similar service, which requires a cardreader and works withdynamic codes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
I see. Hmmm good luck with that one.

TWEAKED 2.5
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Thanks. Found a workaround (prepaid card), but it's not ideal. (refund costs 10 bucks per refund. Not exactly oleasant for a 0.70 cent app... :laugh:)

For now we'll just have to wait for Google to get their heads out of their arses, stop moaning about piracy and start realize what the cause of it is. Until then 750 million people will just have to keep cracking.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
What about PayPal card.

TWEAKED 2.5
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Google doesn't accept Paypal. I've tried. Something about Paypal asking payment for use of their service, I believe.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowett69:
lol going to USA next year sounds fun paying for stuff! cash only by I think, in UK so simple they throwing credit card at you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3c:
Sorry but that's complete bullocks, considering most paid apps have a free version for you to try! What pisses me off is those users using cracked version and then blaming the dev for all the wrong things happening on their device, because cracked often means the hacker added his own stuff to it. So good luck with that.

FWIW, in the past month, I've been contacted by a dozen users using cracked apps and wondering why things go wrong for them! How sad can it be when those apps only cost a few dollars and those particular users are using those apps on a daily basis!

If you want to make sure only crap apps survive on Play Store, you should definitely use cracked apps and not suppor the hard work of all devs. While paying a fortune for a device that's manufactured for half the price tag!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lnsemsf:
I'm having some trouble with the Evervolv 4.3 (Nightly 9-28) rom not allowing the MLB at Bat app to verify my location to allow for streaming video. I have 2 touchpads, and it works perfect on my Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 04/18 rom. My location settings are the same on both Touchpads, It just doesn't work on the 4.3 rom. It does detect my location on Google Maps so it seems the settings are correct. Has anybody had any experience with this problem on the Evervolv rom and possibly know a solution, or is this an incompatibility issue between the rom and the app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
hi,

i keep pressing the volume button accidently. is there a way i can stop the ringtone volume from changing? just the ringtone volume (not the media, notification, system).

i'm on tweaked rom.

Thanks!!

Welcome to CMB Roms- CM done Better... Dark Themed for his/her Pleasure

Why CMB?

We are just better :), in a nutshell we set out to give you the best of CM, with none of the annoying features (see list below), all this wrapped in a custom black theme. We used the KISS principal when deciding what to offer, we based our frameworks on CM alone (not FrankFrameworks like some others out there), enabling us to provide updates and bug fixes as soon as CM does. This doesn't mean we are only relying on them for development, it just eases merging.

Features

Based on Android 4.3_r3.1, CM10.2

All current features CM10.2

Dark Holo Theme, with drawables from TeamBaked)

Dark Mms app (thanks to my mates at TeamBaked for the start)

Dark Calendar

Dark Contacts

Ramdisk security tweaks, you can adb as root now!

Bash "tab to complete" now works

Remount helper, in adb shell

Old

mount -o rw,remount /system

New

remount /system

Better Right?? :)

We plan to add more features, suggestions are welcome (but sometimes ignored :P)

Is there a mirror for Pollux Windy because it's only downloading at about 7KB/s... It's well over half done but still says it has another 3hrs to go...

This is my third attempt to get the file because it has dropped out twice already...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] bjm374:

Very very nice ROM... except for 2 things.

Am I missing something? I installed GApps at the same time but there is no email app.

[Nokia Lumia 920] android_user_007:
I am using Nokia Lumia 920 Mobile. After recent Amber Updates, FM Radio got enabled on my phone. But, there is volume problem with FM radio, it continuously goes up and down. It doesn't stays stable. But, at the same time if you will try to play song on music app then it works properly.

So, basically there is volume problem with FM radio on Lumia 920 Mobile.

[Just for info, I also tried to play FM with different app by downloading from Store, but again I am facing same issue]

I also asked the same question in Microsoft Community but still its of no use, instead I got to know that other peoples are also facing same some problem. If anyone else faced the same problem and got any solution then please submit here. I also tried Hard Reset but I am still facing same issue.

Hello, nycbjr! I like your ROM. But if I use the Russian language in the system there is something that I dislike. The search by last and first name among contacts doesn't work, by the way, the Russian letters are displayed on buttons. Search works only by numbers of phones. To fix this problem there is a patch, which must be used under Linux with a source of ROM. The patch you can find on 4PDA, here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=448785&st=2880#entry24576507
