So I found this neat little app called Scantopia. It's basically just a way to make some extra money while having fun scanning product barcodes. You don't earn whopping amounts of money, I've made about $2.75 in two days, but it's still money and it's kinda fun.
When you have $3 dollars or more, you can transfer the money to your PayPal account. You also make tokens, which are used as entries for sweepstakes, like the $1,000 weekly jackpot.
It's pretty cool, try it out. When you do, please input my referral code HV-QTP-SA because it will help me earn some more money Happy scanning to you all!

Just take a look at the permissions the app requires. It's a huge list. It'll probably steal all yout personal info + bank account. I say stay away from it

I have lots of friends who use it and haven't had a problem. Neither have I. Plus, it uses PayPal to transfer the money and for it to get money from PayPal you have to authorize it... It's really safe imo

If you give it your paypal account info, access to your location, contacts, call log, social info, call log, etc what prevents them from using it?? And don't be silly how can you get paid for scanning stuff, where would they get their money from? I have already reported it in Google Play. If you wish to use it nobody prevents you, but you have been warned

I was curious of the permissions so went to install it a few days ago...This quote instantly came to mind "if you're not paying for something, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold"..the fact that you need to log into paypal through it makes it 10x worse.

It's probably just a hold on the credit card to see if it's valid. The money will be back on the card after a few days.

These kind of holds are normal when you add a card on-line pretty much anywhere.
It's not a charge. It will go away. (unless you accidentally actually bought something else)
I understand that parents (and you) don't necessarily have familiarity with how that works, and that's okay - but it's nothing to get bent out of shape over. You could always just Google it - someone else in the history of the Internet has probably already freaked out about it or wondered what it was and was answered by people who knew.

Its googles wallet's rules. Whenever you add a new card they will take $1 (equivalent to Rs.50) as a confirmation. They either return return it after a day few days or once you have done a purchase with the wallet. For me, i got a refund. You can show her the FAQ in the Google wallet support page. They explained it pretty well.

Tell her to chill! This happens on every kind of online app store! The money will be refunded. (Not sure if it will be if the card is blocked). And I hope 50 Rs is not a big deal for you. Or you could do some self imposed punishment to recover it...

Ah the wonders of generation X and modern technology...
This is normal, nearly every pay service that asks you to enter credit card details does this. It also happens for direct-account linking in Europe. Paypal, for instance, writes off a small ammount (5 cents when I did this) to check if the link is valid, and then sends it back within 48 hours.
This IS mentioned when you link the credit card as the next-step procedure. You should've read it more carefully.
I know. My mom also freaks out about this stuff. Here show this -

This would be enough.
Guys, I added my debit card to Play Store on 9th January. It's 25 days now and even I was charged Rs. 50 back then which hasn't been refunded yet. Called up my bank and they say this charge is not refundable. Seriously? I never agreed for paying this. Who refunds this back? Google does? Or the bank? I've been charged one or two bucks from PayPal before but it was always refunded back in time. I'd rather spend 50 on a deserving app than for simply adding my card.

Yeah we ACTUALLY do but all the other companies say the same thing and give the impression that they also have it. I mean if you look into it, it's very clear we do and say Verizon don't. But commercials are very deceiving to some.
I don't really care about the other networks but maybe if the others don't advertise that they have unlimited, we can get more money put into Sprint and improve our network. (I don't if that's why Galaxy wants to sign, but I'm just theorizing why someone from Sprint would care)

Free Website Design for XDA Members
As the title states, I am going to be making websites for XDA members, as long as any one of the points below apply:
a) Simple, no online payments/logins/etc
b) Really in a short budget and need someone to make their website
c) A non-profit/small business that needs someone to help with their site
d) Have some time on their hands(It will usually take 2 days for a site)
e) Want to get a free website design!
Q. Why am I doing this?
A: I am a fairly new web developer who has about 4 websites under his belt(Examples Below) and would like to simply help people while gaining some experience. All my four clients are from four different countries, and 1 XDA member is also part of them.
Q.Why should I trust YOU?
A: Because there is nothing to lose from getting a website from me, and you are not forced to do so:good:
Q.Will you make me a 300 page megasite with huge requirements?
A: As much as I want to, I really do not have the time, nor the will to design something >60 pages.
Q. What do you use to make your site?Will you provide me with manual project files?
A: This is a very personal question for me, and I am not comfortable to answer this question. I will though, let you know that most of the project is done with notepad. That is all I can tell you. I can not provide you with the manual project files. Sorry.
Q. Have you ever worked with any XDA members' site?
A: Yes, I have. I have worked with user JONBOY345 and I am sure he has positive feedback from me.
Q. I have more questions.
A: PM Me.
Things that I need to build your site:
1. Your FTP Username
2. Your FTP Password
Sites I had made:
Site 1
Site 2

Okay - I'll bite.
First off, I was careful in my wording. Html is used for making websites - not websites are made with html
Secondly, Python (if used for web development) is a server-side language, so you'd still need html to get a working site

I can't speak for everyone, but if you are into it and actually want to learn it, it is more fun than "How hard is it?"
I am not studying web developing, but I did my research for a long time(>2 years).
There will be times you wish you never took it, especially when learning some CSS(GODDAMN APOSTROPHE KEY Y U NO BECOME AUTOMATIC SOMETIMES) but all in all, it is very worth it. You don't have to get a job to earn some small $$$, because you can tell people, advertise online, etc.

Hi, I like to keep this secret(My tools) but if you try hard you can easily tell what I used. I'll give you some hints, I use a combo of Adobe: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and sometimes I get scripts and position them accordingly. I will be honest here, NONE of my sites are completely based off notepad, and upon consulting more of my web dev colleagues, I have learned that using notepad/notepad++ is too time consuming and actually decreases productivity.
However, at the end of the day, if the client is happy regardless of what I used to make it, I am also happy.

as asked above, what exactly is this?
I used themer solidly for maybe a day total before uninstalling it. Its a great concept in terms of making a phone look different from stock but it completely fails in ease of use. I don't use social or shopping apps but over half the themes have a folder for those. And deleting either folder kind of kills the look. Also, that weather widget almost never shows the actual temperature. No matter how my times I reopen the app, it refuses to update.
