I would like to use the widgets that the launcher comes with, but I don't have paypal to purchase through the app.
I can't find anything in the market. Does anyone know of any alternatives to obtain this?
Thanks

No, you have to buy with either credit card or paypal. If you're on a stock ROM you can pay with your tmobile account I think.
No. I'm using cyanginger.
I really just want to use the people widget. Do you know of anything that is similar to that or the faves widget in sense?

Sorry, I can only post a link to the screenshot for some reason. But yeah, I'm using Cyanoginger too, and it gives me the option to bill my T-mobile account.
But staying on topic, I think your pretty much gonna have to get access to a credit card or a debit card for the Paypal. There's just no workaround, which really sucks.
And I *think* that tweetdeck has a pretty decent widget that can pool twitter and Facebook, among other things, but if memory serves me well, it did not have a scrolling widget like LauncherPro. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me.

How did you enable paying with your t-mobile account? It doesn't show that option for me, it never has, except on stock ROMs.
I just double checked, it gives me two options, the visa card I already added and add new credit card.

I didn't do anything to enable it. Its always just... been there. Are you running the new market? If not, start clearing caches (the Dalvik Cache too), and see if that does something.

Ohhh, that may be why I didn't see it. The only app that I have bought the premium version of is ADW Ex, and he lives in Spain, so it was an international transaction.
Edit: nope, I just tried on a US app, that showed US$4.99, still didn't show the option. It's not a huge deal, my debit card works fine. Since I share the bill with someone else it probably works better to keep them on my own bank account anyway
same here...running CM7 and it still prompts me to pay via credit card or t-mo account
idk why it wouldnt show up
always has even when i had my g1/mt3g with different ROMS

From their market page
"The first attempt at changing the roaming mode will be slow - don't worry, this is supposed to happen.
I will honor refund requests within 24 hours since the new market only gives you 15 minutes to try out an app.
Please refer to the website for questions and report issues to [email protected]. Please allow a reasonable amount of time (at least 24 hours) for a response."
So I would request a refund now so that if you can't get it working, you at least get your money back....they might have a solution for you as well

Send me an email at roamcontrol (at) gmail (dot) com along with your Google Checkout number. Otherwise, does your phone stay on Sprint or does it lose the signal when going into "roam only" mode?
I can't get it to work either.... I select roam only and it makes no difference... using 1.5.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
There are a few reasons that you might see issues with Roam Control:
1. Your phone isn't rooted. I've seen some people update to EB13 not knowing that it took away their root. You should see some type of pop-up error if this is the case.
2. You have a Samsung phone and you live in a 1900mhz only area. See here. You will see your signal disappear if this is the case.
3. You are using a pirated version of the app. I can't take any responsibility for issues with an unlicensed copy of Roam Control. Honestly, I would be a little nervous giving root permissions to a pirated app, but that's just me.
It's always possible that something else is wrong too. Usually an uninstall and fresh re-install through the market fixes things. If not, feel free to send me an email and I'll be happy to help!
Mrgreg. I've noticed roam control stoped working on any of are froyo builds after the newest update. I haven't been able to locate a older version for testing as I'm afraid of installing a pirated app with root permissions. I'm willing to work with you on solving this matter if you like

Do you mean the newest update of Roam Control? What specifically are you seeing? Do you see any error messages, does your phone lock up, etc?
I have a new version on my computer that's more similar to 1.4. The underlying implementation is the same for all of them but the trigger mechanism is different. I need to do a little more testing (have been super busy this past week) and I'll push it out the the market. I expect it to help with intermittent issues that a few people are having.

count me in as well. I try to force roaming with the app on my rooted 2.2 epic and it just tells me to purchase roam control from the market even though I did
Count me in too. Doesn't work, was in a bad signal area so I couldn't request a refund. Honestly I don't mind having paid for it provided the issues are fixed (once discovered obviously) in a reasonable amount of time. Greg, if there's any way you could send a few of us a copy of 1.4 for testing purposes (I'd be happy to verify my purchase...somehow) maybe we could help figure out what's going on.
One thing I'll mention, it seems if I toggle back and forth like a spastic child between auto and roam, eventually it will roam, on the auto setting, then switch back after a minute or so to a sprint tower. Rooted EB13 with overclock kernel (same issue without). Hope this helps.
Please keep us posted as I will be monitoring this thread.
hmm
my roam control works without an issue.
its worked on: cm6
bonsai (all versions)
stock deodex eb13
2.1 and 2.2 modems
both app version 1.4 and current 1.5
however, most calls to go straight to vm. In my opinion, this is generally a positive thing. ha ha.

Does it still show as "purchased" when you go into the market? Go ahead and install the latest version and fire it up, it's probably just having difficulty contacting the licensing server.

Spoke to you over email...appears to the 800mhz vs 1900mhz thing for Samsung phones.
well, since the rooting is on the way,
i was wondering if anyone could tell me all the bloatwares that you really don't need.
here's what i think i'll be uninstalling when the root gets available.
social hub
media hub (after i'm done using all $25 credit XD)
asphalt 6
blio
bonus apps
more for me
my account
my device
pro apps
slacker
tmobile mall
tmobile name id
tmobile tv
visual voicemail
video chat (i use tango)
zinio reader
is there something else that i should uninstall?
and is there something in the list that i souldn't be uninstalling ?
oh, and one more thing. removing these bloatwares are supposed to help free up some unnecessary rams on the phone right?
and this would help battery to last longer?
correct me if i'm wrong..
thx in advance.
by video chat do you mean qik? If not add that to the list.

If we're talking about a true, vanilla android experience then you should also include:
-411 & More
-Allshare
-Books
-Downloads (I prefer to just use a file explorer, no sense in having multiple apps that do the same thing)
-Files (I prefer a file explorer like Astro or Androidzip)
-IM
-Kies Air
-Lookout
-Netflix
-Photo Editor
-News and Weather
-Polaris Office
-TeleNav
Personally, I like to delete pretty much everything (even if I will use it) such as Netflix, then reinstall it from the market. I do this mainly to keep the system apps and my apps in their respective folders.
DM
thx. but can you also answer my other question too, about deleting all these will improve battery life and free up more ram or not ?
Holy Bloatware batman!
cant wait for root to delete it all. i have never in my life seen so much bloatware!! its getting worse and worse the newer the phones!! utter useless crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and TW sucks, ADW works so much better!
otherwise i love this phone so far.

removing bloat totally will help. i remember on the G2x BW was actually causing the phone to bootloop at random for some folks. bloatware should be illegal to put on the phone without a root requirement to delete it all.
the G2x bloat, and the G2 bloat was quite minimal, compared to the MT4G i came from, but this thing beats them all i think, i was a little ticked about it.
Thx for the answer
Oh, and I like launcher pro then ADW.. it's just me

The official link to the version with the best reviews: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tmobile.selfhelp
If that doesn't pull up on your device than the developer has filtered out that specific device, most likely due to the above comment, doesnt support ICS.
Attempted to pull up on my tmo galaxy nexus and this specific app doesn't appear for the developer Tmobile. Appears they filtered out support for our device.
Probably best route is to send them an email listed as their developer contact and inquiry about support?
Hope that helps!
Damn that sucks hopefully it works soon

I'm using an unlocked T989 running Darkside's Evolution v8.
The good news is I could buy a Russian sim card and pop it in with no problems over here (no 4g here though; only 3g).
The bad news is that my Russian carrier MTS (МТС in Russian) thinks its ok to spam me with pop up offers all the time. They flash up on my screen and wake my phone and ask me if I want to "subscribe to sports updates, etc." These aren't texts, they're pop up messages.
They've led to some embarrassing pocket dials.
My question is: Does anybody know a way to get rid of these.
Let me know if I have to give you more information.
Big thanks.

Yeah. Using Rom Toolbox's adblock. It works for everything else.
I think I have all the bloat removed. Is there some app or check I can do? (I never got these pop ups before I switched sim cards.)
seems like its the sim card. if theyre popping up then it has to have something installed for that to happen. I would try TREVE logging test app to see if anything odd is in there. It should be in the market

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.

I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.
