Get another 25 dollars from Google play!

[crackberrytraitor]

If you factory reset your device (this may be less annoying for people who haven't yet gotten their device) and make a new Google account (takes like 5 minutes) to sign in with when it reboots, Google will give you another 25 bucks. Apparently Google has been made aware of this and has said they have chosen not to change it. So basically it's like a little bonus for modders.

What a nice gift! But I don't think I want to go to re setting and setting my device again in order to get it. I already spent a lot of time getting in the way I want and I don't want to have to do it again.

I didn't sign up for fav fives and the app was on my phone already and works if I know what it is supposed to do. It sets up your fav fives for you. YOu pick five contacts and it dials them for you, is that how it is supposed to work?

You could do a nandroid backup, reset, activate, profit, restore...

I've done this 4 times now. That's the max I can do, since you have to have a valid credit card for each account. Since you can gift apps to other accounts (your main account) this is epic win. Free hundred dollars, Cha ching! Don't really need the cash, but it entertains me to do it.

Hmmm, interesting. I have two accounts each tied to a different card. So how come only 1 shows the credit?

I think hes saying that you need to make a completely new account for it to work.

Where do I see my Google account status? I used a new Google email address to activate my Nexus 7, and I cannot see my account balance, any linkage to a credit card (I never entered any), etc.

Just because it is there, doesn't make it right to exploit it. Some folks legitimately have multiple accounts in a family setting, for example husband and wife.

Karma is always a . Good luck.

How do you gift an app?

Google search is returning nothing about gifting Play Store apps.

thats what I thought, I could not find anything about it

You may not be able to gift, but you can link your device to multiple accounts, and toggle the play store between the different accounts, thereby allowing you to download and install paid apps from different accounts on the same device. (at least you could on the Galaxy Tab 10.0) I haven't tried this yet on Jelly Bean.

I dont know why I continue to be shocked at the number of people who think stealing is ok.

Oh I thought you could. If not that would make the extra credit a lot less useful.

There's an xda thread with info in detail on this little exploit BTW.

And to the people calling me a thief, I don't plan on actually using the credit anyway, I don't need the money, I just like doing exploits like this just because I can, it entertains me for some reason. Now if it's something produced by the MPAA/RIAA, that's a different story. I will steal it out of principle.

You have to factory reset the device, then make a new account and tie it to the device.

Sorry homie, I think that deal is over by now. Early buyers only.

 

[ep1977]

That deal ended in september

I don't plan to do this. It's too much hassle. However I don't know why it's stealing to take something that someone is willingly giving you. As far as I know Google has never said you're not allowed more than one account.
