Skip credit card menu ? - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
couldn´t find anything related, but I got my Ouya today and I am stuck entering my credit card data. I own a credit card, but i will not enter it without knowing, how the folks over at Ouya are using them ( remembering the Sony desaster etc. )
Is there any way yet to skip this menu ? ADB or anything else maybe ?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340522

Thanks, that is a thread I found, but it doesn´t give any hint, how to skip the menu. I ended up, just using "test" credit card information from www .paypalobjects.com/en_US/vhelp/paypalmanager_help/credit_card_numbers.htm

That thread mentions that you can "adb install" apps, including a different launcher. After you get a different launcher on there, double press button under the touchpad and it will act like you pressed the "home" button. Then you get a menu to select which launcher to use. From there, you are able to do a whole bunch of things without entering any credit card info.

is missed that part, sorry =)

I understand everyone's concern over credit card security, but I would be surprised if we had anything to worry about with the OUYA. Alternatively you can buy the prepaid cards and put them in there in place of a credit card, which is what I'll probably do.

I've read that you can use a test credit card.

OP had the link in his second post.
it is just validated account numbers used for testing .
you can also use them to get to use the OUYA console you already paid for.

City ID... Can we remove it?

I just woke up to a white screen telling me it wants to charge me 2 dollars a month to tell me where a call is from...
I tried to go to applications and uninstall it but I didnt see any uninstall option...

Without access to the /system (ie root) then no...no we can't! ****..this lame as application is gonna ruin this phone isn't it?
I saw that too and wasn't happy. I hate to have to root my phone and image it just to get rid of that application. It hasn't asked again since the first time. Hopefully it wont ask again!

Its not verizon i had it on my alltel touch pro and i think it just puts the city name when someone you don't know calls you. It never stopped doing that for me after the trial was up and it never popped up saying i need to pay. So it might just be an extra icon you have ti live with.
It is defiantly always running in the background!

Just because it isn't exclusive to Verizon, doesn't mean its not crappy bloatware.
+1 on getting rid of this when root is achieved.
I'm new to Android to so I apologize if this is totally out there. CityID is part of the ROM so it is protected. But I imagine that Cequint must be able to push out an update for CityID or their libraries from time to time.
What if we made our own version of CityID with the same manifest that did nothing and installed it using "Unknown sources"? Would Android see our newer version and use that instead?
Is this possible or do we need to wait for root access?
If you ForceClose it the trial returns to 15 days LOL.
There are some reverse lookup apps that show the name of the caller. Skydeck is well reviewed and I'm testing it.
When my trial period ended it asked if I wanted to keep my subscription and I hit no. It then allowed me to uninstall. Has anyone else had this happen for them?

I guess I have 1 day before it expires, hope your right.
I wander if the idiot that designed the program actually gets money from people.
I have been trying to get rid of this piece of crap since I made the mistake of installing it . Dont think that I've bewn. Billed yet

Ok my free trial ran out last night, but this lame excuse of a program still runs for no reason, but to spy on my phone.
I was not able to remove the program.
This is a good reason to root this phone.
Ok so im new here and im new to the smartphone user crowd but I am pretty good with computers and think I may have found a way to remove City ID (and any other apps preloaded or not) from the Incredible. I was playing around last night and found an "Uninstall" button for City ID but I being a new user to Smartphones and honestly not yet willing to destroy my baby hehe was afraid to press it. Anyways for those (if any) of you out there are willing to try it and see what happens (im not held liable for anything if it goes wrong this is strictly your decision)..here is how you find the button:
1) Enter Astro File Manager (by default it takes you to your SD Card)
2)Hit the "UP" button, it will take you to your phone storage directory.
3)Choose the "System" folder.
4)Choose the "app" folder.
5)Scroll to "City ID". Click on it.
6)Choose "Open App Manager".
7)Voila..there is your button.
Please post if this works..alongside with any side effects etc..it would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps someone.
Also posted this on XDA-Developers. Look there for replies too if it works. i sure hope so anyways. Search "City ID... how do you uninstall?".
EDIT: Also posted this on androidforums.com. Look there for replies too if it works. i sure hope so anyways. Search "City ID... how do you uninstall?".
No, it doesn't work. We have root now, so you can uninstall it. Someone posted directions somewhere. You just use the rm command from the terminal.
With this removed, do you still get city/state information (I imagine you would as Verizon advertises "Caller ID" as one of it's services). Was this just some moot/redundant app left in to try and make some money off of suckers?

Caller ID is name and phone number.
The translation from phone number to City/State is what CityID does. When removed, there is no display of City/State, but you still get Name and Phone number. As the translation of phone number to City/State for mobile phones is patented by the makers of CityID, Verizon can't provide that service without using the CityID application.

PowerAMP problems

Hi,
I installed PowerAMP full version, why can not I play list selected music on an external SD card. I especially get the card and from there I want to let you listen to.
How to solve?
Did you select your external SD card in settings? You might have to manually select it, I had this problem too at first
Where can I find this option, I'm sorry but I was on the iPhone 4 years so I did this all new
When in poweramp hit your menu key on phone (the one left of the Home key) that brings up a menu ,3rd from bottom settings.4th option down folders and library-music folders-Sd card -whatever your folder is (probably music) tick it then go back 1 page and hit rescan.
That should do it.
Check your stock music player can see the ext card files .
If not you may need to delete that folder and copy the music back .

Thanks guys for the help, I managed to solve the problem

3.now cook the wing for 20 minutes
4.put your phone over the steaming pot
5.repeat˝abra cadabra,abra cadabra...forces of nature rearange my soft keys as i command you!!!

Do you remember if you made the backup onto the external sd or internal storage? Try changing that option at the top when your at the restore screen since it may have been switched by accident.
Twrp isn't seeing the sdcard known bug. Transfer the backup to the actual phone memory and proceed to restoring :thumbup:

What does not work? Learning the code or sending it when learned?
when I try to learn codes for my Samsung TV, it immediately says "learning timed out" as I press a button. Had luck once and could record "power off" for it, but could not find it afterwards anywhere to test it.

Did you changed the learning timeout in the settings?
Code needs to be uploaded after learning (there pops out a dialog when learning is okay) and will only appear in the database if upload is sucessfull. I will change that in the future, so you an store codes local only.

Thanks uploading should work, there are already codes in the db, uploaded by other users. Please report if you find other issues, force closes etc

Can you try again? Does the normal sync work? When pressing the sync icon in the database? Maybe you can try once with wifi once with normal mobile connecting (a code is less than a kilobyte so should not use alot of data)
Tried uploading on 3G and Wifi. Both don't work. There's no error when I hit the upload button, but syncing afterwards gives me the same error as mentioned before. I'll try to make a tcpdump of it tomorrow

Thanks for the info. Tcpdump would be great. Or maybe you have a corrupted local db, you could try to delete the app data and restart the app, databse should get synced again and the you could try to upload a code again?
I have a Sony SMP N200 streamer. Its a discontinued product at this point, and the remote is kind of broken and would cost $50 to replace. Any chance that this works with it, or could be made to work with it?
Does it work with MacBooks or Beamers?

If you find somebody wiht a working remote for the SMP N200 and he can "learn" the codes on the HTC ONE it should work. Or if you find the codes on the internet and we can "translate" them to the format that the HTC ONE uses it should work too.

Press "Learn Code" in the app and than point with your AC Remote to the one and press a button on the remote
after pressing "learn" you have 5 seconds to do this, but you can change the timeout (time the ONE trys to learn a code) in the settings
