[BOUNTY 20$] - Dev needed for warranty tracker

"Warranty Expiry Tracker"
Hi, I pretty much like the idea of this app (market) but the UI could really need some love.
It's also just availabe in English which makes it hard for some to understand.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Android development to code this.
Are there any wizards out there interested in making such an app? I'd volunteer to translate to German...

Hmm, that looks like a very simple app. You could probably learn how to do it in a month if you have some basic programming background. I'd do it but I have some projects I'm working on currently.
I'll keep this in the back of my head though.
Btw, I wonder if App Inventor could handle this, just a thought.

Bounty: 20$
Re-tested the Miritech App mentioned above but sadly it doesn't work on my German i9000, I can reproduce FCs and the programmer doesn't care to fix them.
I have gotten my AppInventor account lately, but don't have time left as I'm leaving my job to do something else. So I can't do this myself and I'd pay someone to do it.
Basically, this app can just consist of a couple of buttons:
- Add item to list*
- Search for item in list
- show list of items with warranty expired
* Item might contain item's name, its details, date of purchase, name of store, duration of warranty in month, picture of invoice / recipt
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hii marty,
thanks for your comments... but can you please specify the FC's you are getting on our application so that we can fix it right way and also we will take care of your needs if any in this application.
And this application is standardised app in english. If you want us to translate it in german then we can do it exclusively for you.. For this please contact us
Thanks..

I already emailed twice to [email protected], the address displayed on the Android Market, but I didn't get a response.
Anyway, here are my suggestions:
- Larger buttons on all screens (theres lot's of empty space left on my screen)
- Service contact details should not be mandatory
- Service contact mobile phone number doesn't accept arbitrary numbers
I will send you a logfile when it FCs again, please PM me an email adress.
An added bonus would be the possibility to localize the app. Are the strings hardcoded, or perhaps pulled from a file or database? If you send me a file, I'll translate all strings to German...

Hii marty,
We have uploaded updated version.Please Check it and let us know about FC.
Thanks

Well to be frank they won't ask anythin..!!!
But if they do just say something like this
"My uncle/bro/sis gifted me a phone yesterday & I am, trying to activate it but its asking for some activation code & you say that you don't have that..!!!"
This is enough..!!!
The success rate is 100% ..!!!

What i did to get my activation code **easy peasy**
Called microsoft from Pakistan.
Used Skype to call their 800 toll-free number.
I actually hung-up quite a few times. ill explain the reason below.
The customer service representative asked me for the following things:
1. first and last name
2. what product i am calling for
3. telephone number
4. telephone maker
5. where i am calling from
the last question he asked me was "do you need an activation code?"...
*****why i hung up and if you are an international caller then you should too******
i tried to choose the agent that i was talking to. i ignored calls that were answered by US agents. I only talked to agents that were not from the US (as was evident from their accents). This may be important. A US agent would insist that you either call your home country Microsoft office or your phone manufacturer or that they will not service your request because they are only catering to US or Canadian products. Another thing is that a US native representative would have a better knowledge of telephone numbers that you give him/her so if you are spoofing a number you are risking it.
******first and last name*****
they dont give two hoots about your first and last name. they only ask that to create a ticket in their system and to log your service call so that they may refer to it in the future if you call back for the same reason
*****product you are calling about****
this is obvious. they need to know how to service you. and ofcourse they also put it in the ticket.
*****telephone number*****
in my experience this is not to check where you are calling from. they ask that specifically. this is just a part of the ticket that they will generate. However, because i told them i was an international caller they could not verify the number that i gave them. if you tell them you are calling from the US or Canada then your number must NOT BE FAKE(!). It must exist. It doesnt have to be your number. if it is fake then they can actually verify it with their supported carrier.
The Safe Bet: I found it safe to tell them i was calling from abroad (which i was) but my product was purchased in the US.
*****mobile device manufacturer / brand / maker******
this they need to generate the activation code. i believe HTC and Samsung have different activation code series.
****where are you calling from*****
this as i explained above is to ensure that the product you hold is from the US. you just have to tell them that it was purchased from the US no matter where you are. if you tell them you are calling from the US then there is no problem. But if you are an international customer then they have to believe you that the product was from the states. make up a story here if you have to. Otherwise they will simply tell you that the country is not supported and you have to call Microsoft in your home country.
=======================================================
I hope this helps people.
I don't think they are on the lookout for people who are bogus callers. I don't think there are very many of us out there anyway. People who put WP7 on their HD2 are minuscule compared to genuine buyers so they would have no explicit intention to seek you out. Having said that, they would know that Microsoft products get pirated and pretty easily too (not putting down the DFT team's effort here) so they know about piracy and what vulnerabilities WP7 has on that front. However, i think they will take care of it like Microsoft always has. Through Genuine Activation Checks. God i hate those. I think they will come in the next couple of updates.
Hit thanks if you this helps.

i agree with you INASAR , but microsoft ate his own sh*t by doing this to hd2 , think every thing was the same with hd7 but only 3 bottons was the problem, (only ) so it is a good revange that DFT ported it to hd2 and it was a sucess ,and thanks DFT for that i have my activation code now and i gonna use it for good

Activating HD2 WP7 in UK

seems to be a lot of different guides on how to activate wp7, but this is my guide for the UK. MS UK DO NOT PROVIDE EMAIL/CHAT SUPPORT FOR WP7!! so you will have to man up and call them
1. call Microsoft support on 0844 800 2400
2. press option 2, then option 7
3. when the operator picks up say you have purchased a new windows phone 7 and you are having problems using some of the services.
4. when they ask what sort of problems, say you are trying to add a windows live id but when you sign in it says there was a problem and it needs a code
5. the operator should be clever enough to know you mean an activation code, and will then ask for details
6. you will need to provide REAL details. the mobile numbers are being verified with either an automated call (asking if your quiery was answered) or a person asking the same thing
7. the operator should then generate a code for you
some helpful tips:
1. play dumb! try and sound like your not really sure what you need or what to do. it may mean you get given tedious step by step instructions, but its less suspitious. avoide words like product key, generate or any sort of 'techie' words. basically, pretend to be a technophobe mum!
2. dont sound nervous!
3. think of a good story in detail! i was never asked what happened to my origional code, but think of something so detailed it just has to be true! thing like kids making confetti out of the manual, your wife/partner throwing the box away but be prepared to answer some questions. what you dont want to do is say your wife binned it, then when the operator asks you questions (they are not allowed to have 5+ seconds of silence, so they fill it with small talk) you say you dont have a wife!
4. think of a place where you could have bought your phone. personally i would avoid saying ebay, but places like phones4you, carphone warehouse or mobile phones direct (online) are good bets as they are big retailers
5. dont panic if they call you asking questions! MS are bound to be catching on by now, so they may phone you asking if the query was resolved and what phone you ahve, where you got it from etc.
6. dont get cocky! dont start celebrating while your on the phone, codes can easily be blacklisted!
7. if you get asked for your IMEI, look at some of the unboxing/taking apart videos of the HD7 on youtube, you can usually see an IMEI on a box or the back of the phone

i want activation code for wp7 in my htc hd2

i tried almost all method.
call.chat,skype,mail.but hell wtf.they want my purchase proof everytime.
plzcan someone pm me the code?

same here?

i had no problems when calling MS for an activation code, only took like 5 mins

All you have to do is tell them you just got a new windows phone (don't say HD7 yet) and need an activation code for access to marketplace, games, etc. And they going to need your information. Give them your real information, and when they ask what device is it, tell them you have HTC HD7. And you know the rest. This is my second time (Feb. 20, 2011) I called them when I lost my first activation code.

If a 5 minute phone call is too much work for you, go back to Android.
Just sayin.
People have had luck getting a code via e-mail, but I don't see what the big deal with calling is.

what kind of info? name, address?, wat??? exactly??? tell me plzzz

Just follow the numerous threads about how to get a code.
I always use the chat option. It took me last week 5 minutes to obtain a code.
Just behave as someone who is troubled by a strange question on the screen of your phone: a kind of activation code is asked??? I can't find this in the manual???
You'll see, you'll receive your code almost instantly.
Good luck!

"Thank you"

MICROSOFT support even suggests to get a new activation code when this happens, so it shouldnt be a big deal.

I'm trying to get an activation code, and either I'm losing my mind entirely or Microsoft's UK website keeps re-directing me away from their contact details. Each time I get to the relevant page it part loads, then goes to a page recommending I contact the manufacturer or carrier about any problems.
Can anyone list phone / e-mail details for how to contact Microsoft UK to request an activation code?
Thanks in advance!

That code was only good for so long as it was used by one user. By sharing it, it was rendered invalid.
You have to get your own code via chat. It's easy to do.

can someone give here a link to the chat page to ask for activation code?
or maybe the phone we should call?
i searched for a number or chat but nothing
thanks

LG G6 H870 IMEI Repair, back original IMEI

Hello
I have a problem I bought an LG G6 H870 everything is fine ...but this phone shows wrong imei like 444444... (I think somebody tried to change imei for not register abroad device, here we need to register all abroad mobile phones) I love my phone and it is not a problem for me to register it, but phone shows strange unknown IMEI number
for OTA I need real LG G6 IMEI, I found it on simcard tray and checked up IMEI via many web sites and its connected with phone serial number and not in black list, so I think simcard tray has my real IMEI number.
Everything what I want it is just to back my real IMEIto get OTA updates and have a proper IMEI. but I do not know how to back my real IMEI please is there any way to do that?
I can't find seller, he is not responds anymore, so I can't back phone to him

So you stole it?

me? not, I bought it
but im my country if you want to get a phone from abroad you need to register it and its not free of charge,
in other case phone will be locked at all networks.
all phones which sales inside country has a very high price because of taxes, even iPhone X here its about 1750usd.
so many people trying to change imei for not to pay for registration and taxes.
about me, I want to register this phone officially, but I need to back original IMEI to phone and start the procedure of registration.
So I do not stole phone, I want to do everything legal!
I bought this phone at second hand market, and for now the seller does not want to answer me at all.

So someone else stole it.

My imei is present but I would like to know if I ever lose it by hacking a rom or kernel when my g6 will not be guaranteed anymore..
I keep the info in screenshot in case it can serve, thank you and sorry that some see the evil everywhere.
I think a thief would be smarter and have the means to handle such details, or resell in this state, as seems to have made your seller :/
