[General] No refund for in-app purchases?


A while ago I purchased the app "Drag Racing" from Creative Mobile. Well flash forward to last night and my 3 year old son is touching all the colorful buttons and purchases a $1.99 and then a $21.99 in app purchase for more coins or some bs.

Now, I usually have my PIN setup, but since I recently reflashed EOS4 on my TF101, I forgot to set the PIN again.

So I emailed Creative Mobile and and received a response that they CAN NOT refund my in-app purchase: "There is nothing we can do from our end, since the charges were confirmed through the Game Centre Server and the banking system. Moreover, the transactions are held by Google Play for quite a long period of time."

Is there anything else I can do to get a refund for my money? I do not want this purchase. I don't even play the game anymore. It has not been opened on my device since the purchase. I understand I should be more prudent and on top of things, but I also expect that I can get a refund for unwanted and unused purchases.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[General] How to stop Google maps from tilting in navigation?


Ah. Well I don't think you can do an top-down, heading-up mode. Tapping on the compass will switch between the 3D heading-up view and an overhead North-up mode though.

3D heading-up is pretty standard for GPS systems. Tilting the map allows you to see further ahead on your route for upcoming turns, while allowing the car's location to be "zoomed" in for more detail on the crossroads and stuff that are near your current location.

That being said, I'm sure a top-down, heading-up view would be used by a few people. There are probably other apps out there that would offer this.

[General] APN on my at&t samsung galaxy s3 is not saving.


Hi,
I bought a galaxy s3 yesterday from a guy online. I am switching services from version to straight talk. I got the phone working with straight talk text and calls but when I try to enter the APN I click save and my APN never shows or saves. I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem?

[General] Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 got locked by mistake


Hello Folks,

My nephew has a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 running Gingerbread. His litter sister was playing with the lock screen and it got locked after many attempts. My nephew tried to login through the google accounts but he cannot because he had switched off the "wifi" (i know this sucks).

Please him in unlocking his Galaxy Player 4.0. He has some very important pictures too stored in the player and has no way of accessing them.

Thanks in advance !!!!

[General] My samsung galaxy ifuse 4g having switch on issues


My Samsung Infuse constantly shuts itself off without warning but always comes back on. This time it won't. It is stuck on the black screen with SAMSUNG flashing on and off.
I tried taking out the battery, leaving it out for awhile and putting it back in. Before I even try to turn it on, it's starts flashing SAMSUNG again.
I've tried holding the power button down and still nothing. I havent tried to do a hard reset yet because there is stuff on there I want to try to save if possible.
Any ideas what's wrong or what I should do?? Please hep
