Paypal Here .APK

i signed up for paypal here back when it was first in beta and they sent me a card reader....when i was accepted into the beta it automatically put the card reader app on my phone, even before i received the reader....once i got the receiver i plugged it in and everything worked fine with it....
well i flashed my s3 and didn't have that app backed up and wasn't able to get the app back on my phone through the play store because our phone is not officially supported...but then i found the newest .apk that worked after install again....and now all of a sudden it wont work and brings up a message that says you need to update to the latest software to use....was wondering if someone had another phone they could install and extract the apk from so i can install it....i don't have another phone to do it with....
thanks in advance for any help

SuperJ, you rock! :highfive:
Thanks for the apk. It's just what I was looking for.
If you notice any future updates in Google Play, could you post the new apk?

Actually, I just checked Google Play and it says there's a new version: 1.3.5.
Release Notes:
What's in this version:
• Increased handset support, including Samsung Galaxy SIII, Admire, Droid Charge, HTC EVO Shift 4G, T-Mobile myTouch 4G and Motorola Droid 2
• Improved card reader reliability
• Resolved crashing issues with Galaxy Note
• Various bug fixes
Google Play
Either way, I'm sure this is a big improvement over the 1.0 apk I found previously.

good Call!

Because Paypal are jerks. I can't download the app from Play (phone not compatible) but it runs fine on my Xperia Go when I manually install the .apk.
I emailed Paypal and their response is "it's Google's fault for allowing different versions of Android and they can't be bothered to make it universal" and I got the feeling they prefer Apple's iPhones.
Just my (never) humble opinion.

The latest release is 2.2.0, July 17, 2014. Supposedly available here http://www.1mobile.com/paypal-here-370914.html but what you download is NOT the PayPal Here apk. It appears to be a downloader app and who knows what kind of crap that could contain.
I don't put up with baloney like that on a PC, nor will I on a phone. Direct link to the actual APK thankyouverymuch!
I want it for my Galaxy Tab 3 tri-band on Sprint. I sideloaded the previous version on my sister's identical GT3, didn't work but yesterday it updated itself and works. She swiped her card through the reader and sent me $1. Store still says not compatible!
So I sideloaded that same APK onto my GT3 and I'm waiting, still waiting. No self update to 2.2.0.

Here is the latest 2.2.0. Works fine on my Nexus 7 2012, however the card reader does not work, its a hardware limitation and will never work.

Yesterday I used Titanium Backup to back up the PayPal Here 2.2.0 APK from my Photon Q and copied it to a desktop. Then I plugged the Galaxy Tab 3 into teh desktop to copy the APK to it so I could use ES Explorer to install it.
Still no joy. PPH refused to login because it could not see that I had location enabled. But when I toggled location off then back on, PPH would login.
The card reader should work on my GT3 tri band because it works on my sister's GT3 tri band, both on Sprint.
Thanks for posting the latest APK so people who can't get it at all will be able to, to try on their "not supported" devices to e if it actually will work.

Request for Japanese SHARP DIAG driver!

Hi, I have a SHARP SH-06E and I successfully turned on its DIAG mode.
Now I have some devices not recognized, the HW IDs are below:
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_03
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_03
I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Hello. How do did you enable in this mode smartphone Diag mode? You can link to the manual?

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.

IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?
regards for all

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.

I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.

Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.

hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

Installing Android One on Nokia X7

I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.
Thanks!

I need help converting my x7 to 8.1
Hello all, I guess i'm pretty late to the party. I'm from Bangladesh, and I'm looking for a DIY method to change my chinese x7 rom. Can anyone help??

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.

Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?

I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.

I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

your answer is very useful for me. I want to buy this phone but I don't know is the OTA update successful? Could you tell me about it?

Has Android 10 final OTA landed for the Sprint model?

I saw some mentions of people installed the beta/preview version. I came across this article that states it is the final version:

Yes but I mean if I do not lose my files when updating, like my photos or applications I hope and you answer me fast because I am about to update

I didn't lose any files.

Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.

Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.

Yes

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9

I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth

Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:

With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

Installing Google play on WIFI matepad pro

Hey guys hows it going? just trying to see if someone can clear some stuff up for me. My Matepad pro is in the mail or else i'd try myself. So my understanding is that at this moment the Playstore cannot be installed on a WIFI Matepad pro, only the 5G version? This is of course what i've read from various youtube comments. One thing i am curious about is when i was going to purchase the tablet from Aliexpress alot of the sellers there offer the wifi version with the play store pre-installed, how do they pull this off? i'm assuming this means its at least possible?

hi mate, try the one from FoneTech channel on YouTube, that's the only one that worked perfectly on mine

i'm thinking i shouldn't have updated to 10.1, either Huawei, Google or someone patched something because none of the 500 youtube tutorials i've tried have worked...

i did updateto 10.1.0.131 and the process in the link i gave worked like a charm

@dr Light which one did you use to get GSM Play Store? I have just taken ownership of the 6Gb/128Gb version.

Hi Dr.Light, I am thinking about ordering Huawei MatePad Pro(MRX-W09) as there is a discount for it going on.
Do you mind me asking if the GMS(through fonetech tutorial) that you installed has been working since it was successfully installed?
Your review of it would be greatly appreciated. As it's very attractive deal...just want to make sure it can work on the WiFi version too as I see some of the tutorials mentioning the GMS only works if it is the MatePad Pro LTE/5G.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
I have the Matepad Pro 6Gb/128gb MRX-W09 and have been trying to get Play store installed I have tried 3 different methods and apart from one which will not go past Sign-in on playstore, the others give the Goggle services play protect error. My Pad is on the latest version of EMUI 10.1.0.151(C432E135R1P135) and is a UK version
bought from Curry's. Anyone with this latest EMUI version able to install the Play Store please advise.
TIA

This one didn't work:
youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc&t= :crying:
but this one worked for me (WIFI 256 GB - EMUI 10.1.0):
youtube.com/watch?v=uKfz4xeMzh0 :good:

Likely the most important tweak with the latest MIUI updates - not even the full reset - but:
the "switch back the system time year" part in the beginning (then it can be turned back onward the process).
Another that works: youtube.com/watch?v=pXotMm47K2E

Works for me... No msg saying device not protected. Latest emui 10.1.0.150 on MRX-W09. But everytime run playstore, date need to change to latest or "Auto".
Sent from my MRX-W09 using Tapatalk

I will try 1 last time for this, but the other 3 I've tried says lzplay won't launch, some error soon as I open it.
10.4 tho.
I see a lot of these guides saying 'now change the date back to automatic' but they never say WHEN to set it to 2018?

Mine works google apps w/ updates (system updated also to latest 10.1.0.137) and even Netflix runs (actually runs movies with sign in). Up for sale on Swappa. LTE 8gb 256gb version.

hi i have the MRX-W09 and my compilation number is 10.1.0.172. Any tutorial? thanks

+1 Help please

You can follow this link. That's the latest tutorial he has. I did his previous one and it worked perfectly, updating emui version also works. I'm now on 10.1.0.176.
Hope that helps you out.
