Google Play jerking me around - HTC Incredible S

So I sent google play an email stating that an app I already paid for (3g watchdog) is showing up as unpaid, gave them my order receipt and they asked for more information so I sent them this.
Allright, I flash New roms to my phone all the time. Normally I just re download all my apps as I switch between gingerbread and ice cream sandwich so I can't use titanium backup. So I flashed a new Rom (ics os) and the app appeared as bought, I clicked download and the market updated to play store during that and the download froze. So I force stopped it and brought up play store again. This time the app appeared as purchase 2.99 . I thought it was the os I was using so I formatted and flashed a gb Rom. Went to download again this time it sai purchase so I went about agreeing to purchase it again to see if it was just a glitch or something. It didn't work it went about charging me but my cc is maxed so I didn't get charged. I contacted the 3g watchdog dev and he said he could refund me just to let him know as he said he found a valid payment record. I can't get refunded because my cc is maxed and I wouldn't be able to purchase it again as payment would not be available which is why I need your help.
The following response came after a week of me sending emails requesting a response.
Thanks for following up and for providing those additional details about the issue you're experiencing on Google Play. In reviewing the information you've provided as well as our records, it appears that this issue is related to the fact that you're not using the authorized ROM that came with your device.
Using any ROM besides the factory default may cause the device to have limited functionality and may cause unexpected behavior with the Google Play Store app. Unfortunately, we won't be able to troubleshoot this issue further because the issue appears to be unique to the way your device is configured, and we can't recreate the issue with our devices here.
To resolve the issue, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
Regards,
Matt The Google Play Support Team
Seems like google play is jerking me around an awful lot for 2.99. What shall I say to these jerkoffs?

Why don't you try flashing the stock rom and see if the payment reflects?
if not you can tell them that it isn't working on the 'authorized ROM' as well, no?
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------
Or you probably could simply ask your card company to pull back the payment?

Its was purchased on a CC a year ago and the card is now beyond maxed, the dev at 3g watchdog said they could reverse payment so I could re purchase the app but with it being maxed its redundant.
Guess I'll flash a stock rooted rom... feels Luke it won't make a difference.

Well it shouldn't matter, if u use custom or an original Rom imo.
The purchase is bounded to your gmail account. But try a stock Rom and see if it makes a diffrenents. And let us know

Hasn't happened (YET) with my purchased apps. They were purchased on stick SE Xperia X10 nearly 2 Years back, runs fine on all my custom ROMs on the Inc S.

See if the payment issue happens on stock Rom. If not, back up the app and restore in your Rom of choice. If it does, according to the email from Google, they should be able to help.
Kudos to the Dev though, for offering a refund.

[Q] T-mobile Nexus 1 users I need help verifying...

I need a favor from Tmo users. Been trying to find T-mobile Visual Voice Mail app on the market. Have had zero success. Figured it might be the ROM I'm running GeosROM. Last night I wanted to completely start from scratch as my phones been buggy.
Completly unrooted down to the original shipping image. When I updated back to FRF91 I saw it in the market while downloading ROM Manager again. Rooted went back to Geos couldnt find it. Went back to the original shipping image and checked it wasn't there. Updated to FRF91 still not there.
Grabbed the wife's Mytouch slide unrooted checked the market not there. Is this app still available? Can anyone verify it is not on the market anymore?
I can't find it... T-Mo and CM 6.1

Just use Google Voice, it's easier. Plus it emails you, which is great for when I'm at work on WiFi but no cellular.
Removed !! I guess
I haven't been able to find it in market for more that 3 weeks. Looks like they have permanently removed it. I install from a backed up every time I wipe clean.
Thanks really appreciate you guys taking the time
I used google voices before tmobiles came out. Guess it's time to go back.

Hey Everyone .
Just found this App and was wondering if anyone has tried it ?

Looks pretty good actually . just dont want to be the first DHD user to try and brick the phone haha

Well your average thief might just scratch their head and give up on the phone but if they know someone who knows about android, such as one of many of the forum members here, they still get your phone. All they have to do is flash it back to stock.
The only thing these type of apps are good for, imo, is protecting your personal data. Even then there is no protection for the data on the sd card.
Desire HD has built in anti theft service. Just go to htcsense.com and register. It is really complicated to remove this from phone
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have you ever tried htcsense.com? the locate system hardly works and the site is often down. Theft Aware works clean.
hint: to uninstall it, you first need to remove the device admin setting of theft aware in your phone settings. then it's just like any other app to uninstall

For everyone who knows a bit about the phone it would be child's play to remove the protection.
but if you can password protect the bootloader/recovery it is safe...
Anyway the mainstream user doesn't know about theft aware.
Most of the "thiefs" or lucky ones would do a hard reset.
And if you have a rooted phone, theft aware ist still on the phone.
And maybe they put another sim card in the phone and you got the phone number.
10 bucks is ok for a chance to get my 500 bucks mobile phone back.

Well i have been using theft aware for several months now and i think it's great.
I have it integrated in the rom. Every backup on my phone has it.
A normal thief would only reset the phone and then it stays on.

the trial is fully functional and works for 7 days.
since I rooted my phone 2 weeks ago I had to wipe it and could test the hard reset proof feature afterwards. it IS impressive.
on rooted phones you can block the adb access since the latest version.

This is really Good. I bought it and it works like a charm. I got Theft Aware, Smi Card Checker, Cerberus all together for added protection. I feel it is worth it when you spend so much for a Phone. Spending a mere 3% of the cost of your phone for these is definitely worth it.

I do not know why people answer post without any knowledge. Child play to remove it?
If you lock phone setting – the app cannot be installed
If the phone is root – hard reset does not remove the app, USB debug is unable, etc..
Of course, if you hack the password code, are able to unroot the phone, flash a stock rom, etc... you will remove this app. Childish stuff
I do not have any connection with this app, I am just considering purchasing a security app and so far this is my favourite. Theft Aware may be not perfect but please tell me if you find any better (and cheaper).

It won't nullify it. People returned their n7s rooted and customs Roms and received their replacements. You can always unroot and return to full stock. I doubt we will ever see official support for 3g dongles.

I am from India too, got my N7 in August, I have been in the US since the last 2 years, moving back in Nov. Dont worry, Asus said they will honor N7 warranty in India. Plus N7 is launching in India in Nov for around 15k. So please dont commit sacrilege by not rooting a nexus. Its part of the Android commandments- "Thou shalt not use thine nexus unrooted."
I tried this with a friend's huawei, can't remember which model but newer than mine and it worked fine. With my E160 it goes a bit nuts, won't detect a modem and doesn't work with manual settings.
Does anyone have an E160 working with their N7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Got it, for anyone interested, sending the following at command to the modem port (use a computer to do this, use Google to find a utility for your OS, Hyper Terminal works on Windows) disables the built in SD card reader and the emulated CD ROM drive. Now it works in the N7 after a reboot.
at^u2diag=0
If you want to enable them again (and stop it working on the N7) it's
at^u2diag=255
I see that sert00 posted a link to this info already but it was a little buried in the post...

I can confirm that this works with my 3G/UMTS ZTE K4505, commonly found in Europe (I am using it with Vodafone.de). Only had to manually set the PIN and the APN. The wiget itself is a bit finnicky with my set up - Stickmount seems to interfere when the widget is looking for an open modem port and attempts to mount the inbuilt Micro-SD reader on the stick. I simply unmount all devices via Stickmount, remove PPP widget from my home screen and then re-add it. This seems to fix the problem, I am then able to connect.
Kudos to Josua!

If you ever need to use the warranty you can unroot, or if you are really worried you can even do a complete factory restore, and nobody can ever tell that you were rooted. The only time Google/Asus is going to care is if you use the warranty and say something is wrong with their hardware but it turns out it was actually something wrong in your software (which is why it's a usually good idea to do a factory restore before sending it in, rooted or not, because doing so eliminates that variable).
PPP widget DOESN'T work with e3131 dongles. Can anyone confirm whether disabling the sd slot would solve the problem? (on the dongle, that is, not the tab)

Working fine with mine even if there's a memory card insterted. ZTE HSPA+ MF668A.
Try searching for "AT commands to disable automount of cdrom/removable media" specific to your dongle.
After that, upon inserting the dongle to your N7, it will still ask you if you wanted PPP Widget or stickmount to use. Choose "just once" and not "always". So you can use the dongle as a modem, or a removable drive anytime.

I got it working by disabling to CD drive and the SD reader with AT commands. Works flawlessly now but it didn't matter what I did before doing that, it just didn't work. Possibly different E160 firmware.

[Q] Unable to unlock bootloader at 4.4.2, any solution?

I know there are threads on this problem with other Transformer pads, but I am wondering if anyone had this problem with the TF701 (WW)?
I just get the message about "Unknown error, might be network connection..."
Of course my network connection is fine, and I am using the unlock tool found at ASUS support site for the TF701. That is version 8.
I have tried this a couple of days, many times per day, it just gives me the same error.
I have read people with other Transformer models who contacted ASUS and gave them their serial numbers and MAC-addresses, which seems to solve the problem in some cases.
Others are refering to ASUS devicetracker (devicetracker.asus.com) which seems to be taken down, or is it just available in US?
I called ASUS, they never heard of the problem.
I am thankful for any help!
I think you ended up downloading the unlock tool for the TF700, not TF701. The latter only has one tool, version 1.
The former has the v8

Thanks, but version 8 is the right one. It's just called v 1.0 on ASUS TF701 support site.
Ok, in that case just keep trying. For some people it literally took 40 -50 tries and it worked all the sudden.
At the same time register your tablet on Asus VIP service, then conatct them and explain your problem.
The mismatched database entries was a big problem for many TF700 owners - haven't heard anything like that for the TF701 ever.
Send them a screenshot of your About Tablet page with each mail and ask them to check their database and correct the entry for your tablet.
Good luck

I just wanted to put in my two cents here. I've been having the same issues with the bootloader unlock tool for the last 3 months. I've called customer support numerous times and been told too bad. We don't support that. We don't care. I bought this tablet for its vast power but I am not even allowed to experience its full potential. I am deeply disappointed in Asus. It has been nothing but problems with this thing but through patience some have resolved themselves.
You're suggestion may have been the light at the end of my tunnel. I have never hears of the VIP support until now. I have done the same, registered and sent them a ticket request. I uploaded a screenshot of the screen saying password incorrect.
Here's hoping this can finally be resolved. If this fixes it, I'll be sure to tell everyone that's still having problems with the tool.

Yes, officially Asus does not provide any support as soon as yu mention "unlock". That's why people were telling them thry could not get registered for Asus Device Tracker (same problem: no s# in Asus database = no device tracker).
The VIP service people seem to be a little more receptive than general support. But it really depends on who happens to read your mail...
That's why you want to be persistent. Turn yorself into a polite and friendly PITA and don't forget to attach a screenshot to each mail you send.

I think I found what you're referring to. It's in the Google account management section. It's the area where you can make your internet experience immune to Google's pull. You can edit adsense settings, see your entire Google history, YouTube videos you've viewed all sorts of stuff. It's really cool, but unfortunately the boot loader unlock tool doesn't come up in that list of apps. That list consists of third party apps that have all already gained access.
If you're referring to yet a different screen, maybe a screenshot would be helpful?

Yeah, this looks like the classic database mismatch problem. Keep trying to use the app and contact Asus.
It really depends on who you happen to talk/email to. So don't give up. Just read about someone who bought an unlocked TF701 on ebay which was totally messed up and he/she got an RMA approved without any problem...
Ask for a supervisor, escalate it... If you're willing to give up your warranty - why should they care?

Is the app you refer to the same as Package Disabler Pro? I bought it a while ago, then it disappeared and now it's back in the Play store with a different name?
Now the one I can find is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon
That one.

I would try contacting the developer with your email address and product key. I'm sure they will be able to provide you a download link for the latest version. My download link says it only works 3 times, so I only have one download left.
Mine quit working as well after samsung update. Saved my key but lost dl link. Contacted devs this morning, awaiting response.
This is the one I'm using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon
I'm on the latest updated from T-Mobile and it's still working for me.

We are still on Oreo on mine and the wife's VZW branded Note 9s.
We've been using Package Disabler Pro, Orchard from the developers web site, not the Play Store, since April 8. We get no indication of any system updates.
We were using AdHell3, before that.

I've read of issues with the Play Store version.
I would purchase from their web site, directly.
There you can ask the Developer if it will work for your phone version.
The Samsung page is currently "under maintenance".

Mine isn't working either since the latest update for the Verizon Note 9. I purchased it direct from the website and used the last download. Also save one of your downloads(apks) in Google drive or something. When they send an update out it will update the app. I did hear from the developers and they said they are working on a fix.
Hello everybody,
I've got the same problem. with July update and app version 15
Error Message : failKLM: Error code unknown 203, status fail
I cannot find anymore the app on Google Play (unless I access it though direct link).
Do we think the developer is not supporting this app anymore?
Anyone has a solution?
many thanks

Im using S10+ and cannot using Package Disable Pro anymore
Since the last update I am having problems as well. I had purchased this a long time ago on an older samsung device and it stopped working. Switched to bk disabler and then that didnt work on the Note 9. So went back to this app.
It seems the dev pulls the app from the store and then publishes a new one. The only way to fix this in the past was to buy the new version.
Seems like a scheme to make more money, but the apps work.
I don't think it is the phone update that caused it. The license-keys used, and these dev purchases from Samsung, have expired on mass possibly because they were misused or even meant to expire after period of time. Dev knows all this and you should be aware that you purchased essentially a subscription, even though you think you paid one purchase, and one that you never know when it will expire. Maybe in 6, maybe 8, and maybe 3 months. If the whole set up was above board then you would not have been forced to repurchase the same item again and again. There's no excuse, no supporting David v Goliath fight, it has become a milking operation.
Don't Waste Your Time and Money with this app! In a year and a half I bought it five times!!!

This is the CORRECT answer. It's money grab.
I posted this in another forum but this is how it works:
TLDR:
Many, if not most, of Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' violate Samsung's license permissions. As such, they are routinely removed from Google Play or stop working altogether because of this violation.
Explanation:
To provide clarity, many, if NOT most, of these Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' use KNOX specific APIs to allow you the ability to disable applications.
It's a clever use of an existing pipeline; provide end-users with low level device functionality provided ONLY to Knox-approved Developers or Companies.
To develop and access Knox, you need a development key.
To activate your Knox-related application, you need a license.
For each device your Knox-related application is installed on, you need another license.
So if you want to use Knox or its related APIs, you have to pay.
In the past, there were many creatives ways around these limitations but Samsung has become MORE and MORE stringent on the qualifications required to use Knox and routinely check-ins on how Knox is being used. Violate them and you lose access.
I had this issue. I emailed them and this is what I got.I bought the one from their site and have not had a problem since.
Hi,
Package disablers prior to version 15 are blocked by Samsung in play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon&hl=en
We don't want to create new package disabler apps. Samsung blocks our play store app to promote their bloatwares so we are left with no options. If samsung doesn’t block the play store app, it should keep working. Another option is to buy app from our website that is never blocked by Samsung. http://www.packagedisabler.com/

PD Team
UPDATE:
OK mine gave me the error. They said they are working on the problem right now.
Dear User,
We are working to resolve the issue.

Use adb for disable whatever . Find how on xda! :good:
I re downloaded my licensed version from their website and reinstalled. It will not complete their license check when opening the app.
All was well until the last update to my note 9, then it quit working altogether. I'm inclined to believe the posts above that explain shady access to security features, which got blocked in the update.
Contacted the (usually responsive) developer and was told they are working on it, but that was over a week ago.
