http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-perks/?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000427
Ignore that it says Note 10.1. I tried with my Note 2 and S3 and it worked. Other people have claimed it worked on their N10 too(I don't own a N10, so don't blame if it doesn't work for you), hence posting it here.You might want to give it a shot with your Samsung devices and see if it works.
Please drop me a thanks if it works for you
Edit: Link corrected.

Your link is dead. So instead I went thru the entire Samsung registration process on Samsung.com. I was not rewarded with a Googles Play card. Thanks for wasting my time.

This was a mess and turned into mass fraud. There were reports of people racking up to $600 worth of play store credits by constantly registering devices. There was a list of device serial numbers being spread to help propagate the fraud.
That is why the site no longer exists

You can try the link now and I corrected it. Regarding fraud, I registered yesterday with my Note 2 and S3 and got 50$ play store credit. So,its not fraud, its just that I did a lousy job of not checking the link after I posted it here. Chill.

You misunderstood me. I'm not saying you're or you were encouraging it but was saying that's why it was probably not working anymore. I figured they took it down.
I'm not linking but there was seriously a list of device serial numbers being spread around "places on the internet" and people were just running down the list registering those serial numbers and racking up $600 in credit by registering devices they didn't even own. I figured that is why the site wasn't working anymore and that they were cleaning up the backend

[Q] Samsung Fascinate 16 digit password?

Does anyone know the 16-Digit Password for the Fascinate? I have tried brute forcing it with almost every known samsung password but none work! Does anyone know the method used to retrieve the password? Is it done by dumping a specific memory range or do these passwords just get leaked by samsung? Willing to pay for the password at this point if anyone can point me in the right direction. TIA!
I too like to know.

Guys, as per the forum rules, you can't solicit payment up-front.
That's not in the spirit of the forum, and I would suggest the user claiming to have the code may wish to post it, and accept donations to make up the cost.
Selling this code isn't allowed on the forum, so I have removed the offer of sale from the thread. I will leave this open, but if it returns to talk of selling it, this will be closed.

I would try contacting the developer and tell them your story nicely and say if you would like to resolve it. If the developer is a decent person, they should work something out with you. However, if they won't work with you, I would call your card company and have the charges reversed.
Thanks guys I tried both methods but no results no reply from dev and bank said because it was my debit not credit card if was credit card there would be third party involved which could be disputed, Google said they're not responsible for on app purchases.

Technically it is your fault. Not saying you shouldnt be able to get a refund but you should of kept an eye on your kid or thought her to be more careful. Granted she is only 6, but its never too early to start.
Anyways, look in the settings. Maybe you can prevent things like this in the future.

I remember that Apple had similar issues and they ultimately placed a setting in iOS to toggle 'In App' purchases On/Off. I would do some research on what happened there and see if it helps in your case. You can dispute charges on a debit card, as I had to do that one time. The other party will be given something like 30 days to respond to your debit card company. If they do not respond, then the charges will be removed from your debit card.
On a different note, perhaps it would be a good idea to use a pre-paid credit card that can be topped-off for making purchases from the Market. I may look into this myself.

Yeah I dont see how he can't dispute it because even though it's a debit card, i assume it has the visa/master card logo on it and thus is still backed by them for purchases you did not enter a pin for. Email or call visa/master card directly if your bank is giving you the runaround.

I would call visa/mc as I mentioned and/or call your bank and threaten to get visa/mc involved since the bank is obviously ignoring rules set by visa/mc (probably because they stand to lose somehow over it).
That's why I use a credit union debit/check card and credit card.
Much more forgiving and easier to work with.
Technically, you're on the hook. You just need to find the right sympathetic ear.
The simple solution, for the future, is to go to your Google account and remove your credit card information. That way you can't buy an app or do an in-app transaction without knowingly putting in a credit card number.
It's inconvenient, I agree, but it's a lot safer.

Sorry, but why don't you buy apps? Because someone else's 6 year old child accidentally purchased some in-game items? I'm hoping you mean paid apps, because an Android device without apps would be pretty boring I would think. Although this same mistake can happen in a free app just as easily, if your not paying attention to what your doing, just blindly clicking on things, and accept charges two or more times. Still, not a very solid reason to stay away from apps I'm my eyes.

Reading around the internet it sounds like you are going to have to contact Google about the situation as it seems that in app purchases go through them not the developers.

I switched awhile ago to a prepaid credit card. No fees unless paying bills online. And I can transfer from my primary acct to my prepaid acct without fees instantly.
Thanks for all replies and input guys I had it resolved through the bank, it is a loophole in the system that some crooks and people with the only intent to acquire other people's money unlawfully found and taking advantage of, anyway my fault in leaving my info on the device.

It should work fine, the amaze just isn't on the list of devices they will allow to download it from the market.. the only way to get it is by illegitimate means(or read the last paragraph).
Contacting the developer is totally pointless, this is the worst company to deal with in any way.. I spent $15 in game and never got what I paid for, months went by, multiple times they contacted me.. but never got the refund no matter what I did. I eventually gave up since I put in more work than it was worth for the $
I would recommend buying it with another compatible device(if you have one), copying the apk to the amaze(I hope I don't get in trouble, it isn't pirating if you paid), and it should work fine. I may have had to edit my build.prop, I can't remember. That is how I was playing it on my nook color(from my vibrant). But don't spend a dime in game unless you just don't want the money. Really, I would say avoid the game altogether, it is cool for a minute, but FAR from a product worth paying monthly for.
Downloaded but not working
I changed my build prop and it appeared on the market. Bought, installed completly, logged in created character, selected server, but then it tells me their's an update. Takes me to market and no update for the game. Weird cause theirs no compatibility issues, but ive been talking to Customer Service and they've been helping. Till they fix dont try the hack apk(does the same) or download it from market, hoping they officially release for our phone...ridiculous they dont.
Got it working!

They're still working on it, actually, and my understanding is that no 240x240 screen sized device will be capable of supporting it under android 4.3, so they may have it out when they update to 4.3, pending Google's say-so.
So a device that does not have certification for a version of Android that doesn't even exist yet is a fraud?
As far as it not coming on the Android 4.2.2 version, that was public knowledge back in early September.
Oh BTW

Hell. At least they updated you about it vs threatening folks publicly when ever anybody brought up any real issues.
BAWWWWWWWWWW QQ more. This isn't new knowledge and you're an idiot for thinking a company is a fraud because they hit a hiccup they didn't count on when bringing their product to the US.

Are you serious?!? Name at least one crowdfunding campaign that treated their backers with as much respect, which had as many detailed updates, which had stayed on schedule, which has worked so hard around the globe? They came up front about Play store hiccup and even offered an alternative of another on-line store until they will resolve licensing issue with Google (which btw they are working on actively).
I don't understand everyone defending this "upfront" action they decided to take after a Google exec put the kabash on the Play store on this device last week. But I work for a manufacturer of medical devices and if we advertise something to be in our product it has to be there or we would get our assess sued into bankruptcy. My point was that they should have never advertised the device as a Google Play store capable device if they didn't have all their ducks in a row. Business wise, it's unethical and in other markets even criminal.

I certainly was not trying to belittle anyone in the XDA universe.
But the solution of sideloading the Play Store apk is unsettling to me. I own an OUYA and was an early adopter of one of the first Android tablets, the Viewsonic G-book. I have also been rooting and roming since the DROID 1. While ROMS and sideloading is great, it's just unstable and in some situations becomes a full-time job of keeping up with updates and fixes.
I love messing with my devices as much as anyone else here, but for once I'd like to just buy an Android device that I didn't feel the need to have to change in someway, and spending upwards to $300 on an Android device in 2013 with its fair amount of promises should deliver on them.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I agree with you completely and feel the same way but we need to draw the line here at calling it fraud.
I'm comfortable enough with side loading that it isn't an issue but the developer model is what is being discussed. November 30th is a long ways away in shipping terms and until they definitively say no I just think it's better not to get up in arms about it. Let them do their thing. Believe me when I say that if they screw this up they will sink.

Should they have removed the mention of Play Store being included back in early Sept? In my opinion yes. The release that recently came out should have also been done back then as well. "unethical"? Maybe. Criminal? No. The disclaimer that was a the bottom of their KS since day one covers their ass. Period, end of story, thanks for playing.

All the KS units are in the clear. The pre-orders may be another matter.
In my book, the campaign of AI Watch is fraudulent. Regarding Omate, I have a pretty good feeling that even if they would have published this disclaimer while campaign was active - they still would have gotten as much supporters/backers because for a lot of the people not including Google play store is not a show stopper. With a ways around it (sideloading), and alternative store, and active updates about working with Google to resolve this officially, I still say they built a strong community trust.
Btw, with Google planning to release their own smartwatch and probably a pressure from tanking Gear, something tells me there are political reasons for Google to continue delaying their decision. Just my conspiracy theory

At least Omate have admitted that Google Play support won't be there out the box, unlike AI Smartwatch, which is in the same position. They are still giving the impression it comes with Play store.

I think its really funny how people are complaining so much about it. i mean i am disappointed my self as its part of why i've pre ordered the 8gb 1gb omate truesmart but it wasn't the main reason the main reason is because its the best smart watch there is so far. I'm no programmer but I can still install apps etc so it wont be too hard for people to install them, them self's once someone provides us with them to install.
as for no smart watches coming with play store i have the omate prototype on my wrist right now (re-branded as simvalley aw-414.go) and it has play store built into the rom. i know because i factory reset it and it was still there. that being said i hope they make an update for the one I'm wearing right now as it has some terrible bugs on the ui that make it not so good for using some apps show multiple copy's of their icons and you can not remove any of them without uninstalling said apps, after you put so many apps on it some start to vanish and can only be seen if you search for them, it looks like they tried hybrid the app drawer and the home screens as their is no home screens so no widgets or only showing apps you want to see. it also has folders but their useless as you can only put 3 apps in them. it becomes useless if i install a different launcher to fix the other issues. do you think omate firmware would work on it ? because the firmware thats on it says omate_hw2.0_20130923.1 and the model number says omate too.
if someone releases firmware for it that works properly it would be not so bad and very similar to the lower spec omate internals wise? as it seems to be reasonable for its specs if you ignore those software bugs that should have been fixed before release.

as for no smart watches coming with play store i have the omate prototype on my wrist right now (re-branded as simvalley aw-414.go) and it has play store built into the rom. i know because i factory reset it and it was still there. that being said i hope they make an update for the one I'm wearing right now as it has some terrible bugs on the ui that make it not so good for using some apps show multiple copy's of their icons and you can not remove any of them without uninstalling said apps, after you put so many apps on it some start to vanish and can only be seen if you search for them, it looks like they tried hybrid the app drawer and the home screens as their is no home screens so no widgets or only showing apps you want to see. it also has folders but their useless as you can only put 3 apps in them. it becomes useless if i install a different launcher to fix the other issues. do you think omate firmware would work on it ? because the firmware thats on it says omate_hw2.0_20130923.1 and the model number says omate too.
if someone releases firmware for it that works properly it would be not so bad and very similar to the lower spec omate internals wise? as it seems to be reasonable for its specs if you ignore those software bugs that should have been fixed before release.

I'm sure if it doesn't work right out of the box, we can make you a rom from the Omate that will work quite easily.

It does not sadly. I mean its still useable but the issues it does have make it not very good to use so it really needs a rom that works properly.
the rom thats on it is custom build version: OMATE_HW2.0_20130923.115849 and the model number is listed as OMATE.
but yeah I'd be really grateful if someone does make a custom rom for it that works properly and tells me which google play store version to install and were to get the apk etc, I'm also guessing they would need to make a rooting app for it too so it could be flashed tho right?

[APP]Tapatalk (Pro)

I figured I would come here for some sort of guidance about Tapatalk. I'm sure some of you remember way back when Tapatalk was a paid app. I bought it. And now there is a Pro version. Problem is, the app that I paid for is now free. I emailed customer support about it almost 2 weeks ago and still haven't received word back. Anybody else feel this pain or has anybody even been able to reach them about being compensated for it? Guess for now I have to resort to Aptoide to get what I want.

I might be missing something, but I don't understand the issue.
The app was good enough for you to pay for it when you paid for it, and no features have been removed. The only thing you're upset about is that now other people can get it free? It doesn't sound like you lost anything here. Why would they refund you when you had the app and used it far longer than anyone who is just using the free version now?
The license is lifetime so he has a right to want any refund.

I don't understand.
The license says you can get a refund for this app any time you want, even months after purchasing it?

i think he's upset that it's free now and he paid for services that r now i guess:good:
The issue is that he paid for a fully working product, now that product has been removed from the play store and replaced by a gimped version of another product that he possibly paid for as well. I myself find this extremely wrong from the company to do this. Instead they should have left the two versions as they were and add a new free gimped one, but they wanted the good ratings from the paid one for the free one... Such bad practice

They didn't remove anything.
They made the pro version free and the HD with tablet enhancements paid.
What features did they remove?

that shows you have no idea what you are talking about.
The original 2 version has been removed from the play store (can now only be accessed with some link from them) and replaced by a gimped version of the "tapatalk pro" application. I wont go into detail as to what is all gimped, as you can look t hat up yourself, but just so you wont post something like "whats removed again", for instance posting picturesin the "free" version goes only with watermark...

But the version you paid for (that you installed initially) still posts pictures without a watermark, even though it is not in the Play Store anymore, no?
If not, then I see your point.

Just go to their forums and read all the threads about the mess they did themselves because they were greedy.

Looks like I'll have to do that to get the full story.
I'm a little miffed too because I paid for it, but now I have to use their free version with ads, and if I want the ad free version I have to pay again? Thats messed up to me. Make your paid version free and add back the ads, then make a "new" version that you now have to pay for? So basically I can stick with the old version (which I am), but now I don't get any updates or new features. Yes they are greedy, there have been 1 or 2 app devs that ive encountered that have made changes where previous buyers would "lose out" in some way, but they came up with some kind of way for previous buyers to redeem the new or corrected version. These guys did not....I mean didn't they already have a free version? I know they at least allowed individual forums to create their own version they could distribute freely.
+1 I've paid for 2 versions of the app already, they just taking advantage now. I won't be paying for anymore versions. Came here thinking many more would be as annoyed but not so. Tapatalks own forum has some interesting info but little care from the devs. Poor form.

Yep, they even go so far as to locking every thread that touches this problem... Worst company ever.

Yes, they won't even talk about it. Second time this year I've had a developer screw me over changes to a paid app. Then they complain about people not buying it.

I don't mind buying better apps etc but all they ever do is rebrand the same app with a feature or 2 and then ask for more money. Almost like we're paying to beta test. The arguments about buying a new copy of windows are stupid. But if people must, XP -> Vista -> 7 were significant enough changes to warrant paying for a new product IMO.
I was fooled twice, my fault but won't happen a 3rd time. If they do happen to release something amazing, I'll obtain it from a 3rd party source unfortunately.
Well I don't think you will receive a refund. This isn't even logical enought to debate.
I remain of the view that the old version was much better with the themes, and everything else
