This has been bugging me a little and I want to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. When I buy an app (Apparatus, most recently) it gives me no option to refund. It did the same thing when I purchased Splashtop HD. So, anyone else having a problem with no refund button showing?
I was able to refund an app a few nights ago. Perhaps you missed the 15minute window?

Nah, it was less than 3 minutes before I wanted to refund that game. I forgot that I got it from Amazon earlier in the week.

That would probably work. I'm more interested in finding out if anyone else has noticed this, though. If it's just on my end, then maybe I can fix something in my account settings.

Its not just you. I had the same issue when buying ADW EX. I use Launcher Pro on my DX but didnt like it on my tablet so decided to take 5 minutes to play with ADW. I bought it, played for a couple of minutes and resigned myself to accepting the stock launcher.....but...like you found no refund button.
I honestly think you just cant return some apps.. I read the return policy and think it refers to "applications that are eligible for returns" perhaps not all are.

Did you use "Charge my Sprint Account" or something similar while buying it? I found that when I bought and charged my carrier, I was unable to refund, I think because they do not have the ability to "Credit" an account.
Refund Google checkout
I know this is late, but this happen to me also and Google & Dev try to make it seem like I was missing the 15 minute window, in which I was not, and since they try to make it seem like I was the problem, I insist they give me back my money, was going to let go($6.00) but they attitude force me to want the little money BACK.
Some do not offer the refund option, especially of they have a lite or free version to try first. If you read their description, you will see their policy.

I think I got the refund button after I uninstalled the app. I remember it being weird that way.

I already have 18.8GB of free space from Dropbox from referrals and tesing software. When I get my new HTC EVO 4G LTE, will Dropbox give my an additional 25GB of storage for a total of 43.8GB of storage? If not, I guess I will use a different email address. Anyone know?
Thanks
The leaked users guide says it will give you and additional 23gb (in addition to the 2 free gb they give everyone)
It has a time limit of 24 months too (fyi).
XDA Since 2007...
Is there a source for this?
yes it will give you ~40gigs for 2 years...at least it did for the apk that was released on xda until dropbox figured it out. i currently have 22.8GB on dropbox and it went up to almost 50 for a few days
What happens at the end of two years if you fill up all that data? Do they delete it all? Hold it hostage unless you pony up for a subscription?

ok, more dropbox space is always great so I'm asking for a link about how to go about doing so

Install the Dropbox app on the phone & login. That easy.
Better yet, go to an AT&T store & over to one of the HTC One X active models & try it today.
Just remember to uninstall it from the display phone afterward.

No, I believe the extra 25GB will be allocated when you register your account (new or existing) through the actual device.

I got my new EVO yesterday and I logged into Dropbox as I was setting it up. I never got my extra 25GB. As a note: I already have the HTC 3.5 3 GB added for 1 year that I did a few months ago. Does this make a difference? Who do I contact if I want to complain. Do I try to remove Dropbox from my new EVO and re-login again? HELP!

I was having the same problem. Here is what I did:
- Go to www.dropbox.com/gs and make sure the steps were completed (mine already were).
- In the dropbox app, go to menu>settings>turn on camera upload>untick "upload existing photos and video (unless you want to upload them)> select the green "turn on" button.
-Wait about a minute until your account reflects the 23GB upgrade.
- Go back in and turn off camera upload (unless you want to use this feature. I personally use Google+ for this).
Nope, didn't work. Does anyone have the original Dropbox APK from the EVO LTE ROM? I want to so this from scratch.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I tried your suggestion, and it didn't give me my 25G. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to show up. Let me know if anyone has any more suggestions. Thanks.
It took a day for mine to show up...sporting 82 GB!!!!! too much space...willing to rent some out lol

Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
cool got the 50gb too , just installed box app on my xps and got a popup about it after creating the account
Is there actually a Desktop application for this that integrates with Finder/Explorer? It seems like you have to upgrade and pay a monthly fee to use the official one on Mac/Windows ... which kind of makes 50 GB useless.
maybe this gladinet thing would do the trick, although I only use my box account to backup things from my phone.

I got 50gb last week?
normace
I had existing account with Box.net and once i downloaded the app and logged in from my Xperia S, it automatically upgraded my account to 50 GB... but box sync is still asking for upgrade...

Looks like it could be OK, but really would prefer something official. It turns out you can just mount it as a network drive https://support.box.com/entries/20359428-does-box-support-webdav-or-ftp-connections. This seems to work quite well, but since it is a network drive it is noticeably slower than SkyDrives implementation.
There is a max file size of 100 MB, so this doesn't actually seem to be that useful as a backup solution. If you are just backing up your phone then this is probably OK...but the other free solutions like Dropbox seem like better alternatives.
Is this a UK thing? Im in the states so it may not work?

They have just released the desktop sync application for free. Looks good
I an on the Xperia S in UK and got Box 50GB about 1 month ago. A mate got it yesterday so I don't know how its restricted but still working it seems
Has anyone bought the extended version? I've only 10 days left
I have. It has the same features, just extends the service for 1 more year.
I think it's a good messenger app, it's feature-rich and also lots of my friends use it, so in my opinion is a good investment :silly:
What is your concern?

Hi,
I think purchase is the best option to get WhatsApp.
My account finishes soon as well.
How much they want anyway?
Good night.
Well... here's a tip... but its definitely not legal.... its how i got my subscription extended from free (2011) to 2021....
1. Have a jailbroken iphone/ipad
2. have an active whatsapp account on your android
3. Grab a free copy of whatsapp and side load it onto your ipad/iphone (not gonna teach you how to sideload apps on ipad/iphone, its totally illegal)
4. Run whatsapp on ipad/iphone... key in your phone number for your android phone.... If you are on ipad, it will tell you that whatsapp is not available on your ipad... if its iphone, it will work fine... dont worry, either case, it should get your service extended by 10 years....
5. Whatsapp will assume that you have purchased their $0.99 whatsapp version from the itunes store and automatically extend your service by 10 years....
*it may or may not work now, but its worth a try... thats how i accidentally gotten my service extended by 10 years...
Just buy the APP!
I never get this.It is one of the most usefull and popular apps of current times.
U guys use it every day then why cant u pay 1$ For it.I mean its like buying a can of coke.
Why do stuff like that ?Support the developers!

It's 99ct per year. I think it's disgusting to use a service and then trick the devs out of the ridiculously low fee for their awesome app.
Especially when you spent hundreds of dollars on a phone without a second thought.

Cerberus looks like a great anti-theft device. Check it out.

You get a free 6 day trial period. After that it's 4 bucks and some change. Looks like it's well worth it so far.

I think it would be nice to know where your tablet is if it's stolen, though I have to wonder, who would really risk a confrontation with a possibly dangerous crook over their phone or tablet?

It would be enough to snap a picture of the person who stole your device so you could report it to the authorities. I know that there have been instances when a person was able to provide a photo ID of the thief and the police still did nothing, but there have also been some success stories.

I've had my PSP stolen which was very upsetting. When I told my mom about this app she shrugged it off and dismissed me as being paranoid. I kept trying to explain the feature that she would really like but she just ignored me. Then I said, "Oh mom.. have you seen my phone? I can't find it!" Then I sent a signal to set off an alarm to my phone so that I could find it and said, "Oohhh~.. there~ it is!" She looked up at me smiling and said, "Yes, I do need that."
She bought the app then and there.

Android Device Manager and Lookout Security & Antivirus does most of the same things and they are both free.
Your Samsung account also has a free service that is called "locate my mobile", You can find the current location of the lost device and you can track the movement of the mobile at 15 minute intervals for 12 hours and I believe it will lock, ring and wipe data also.
Note: None of these will work if there is no wifi signal.

Whereas Cerberus DOES work without wifi or even data. As long as it has basic GSM, you can text it and it can text you back information/ring/gps data, etc etc. It's far more fully featured than the three you mention - try it if you haven't already. I have it on all 4 of my devices and I've found my phone twice with it when there was no internet connection at its lost location.
I'm using it for my phone and my tablet, only need to purchase once. However it works better in phone because of the location of the front camera. Tablets cannot accurately capture the photo of the thief

I've been using Cerberus now for just over 2 years (9/11/2011). Cost me €2.99.
I have tablet (Wifi Note 10.1 2014), my phone (Note 2), my mother phone and tablet, and my friends phone that I pay for all on it.
Thankfully nothing has been stolen, but I have used it to locate my mothers tablet that she thought was stolen, and my friend who sowed up an hour late for dinner and wouldn't answer his phone.
Its nice knowing that its on my devices, and I love the fact that it will take a picture of the person who tried to unlock my phone with 2 or more wrong codes and email me.
