Dungeons Example In-app billing example stops unexpectedly - in-app-billing

I have followed the steps to do the Dungeons Example In-app billing tutorial. I've been able to upload the apk to my dev console and to my phone (HTC Incredible 2, ver. 2.3.4 with Google Play Store ver. 3.5.16). Once I touch-select the app on my phone, a toast message pops up saying "Restoring transactions", then I get the error message that it stopped unexpectedly. I have also tried the "Simple In-App Billing Payment" tutorial at http://blog.blundell-apps.com/simple-inapp-billing-payment/, and I get the same error message (although, no screen or toast pops up, just the error message).
Notes:
-my test account is the account for my phone, and not my dev account email.
-not quite certain as to how to get the logcat messages for debugging from my phone.
-at the dev console page, the apps do not say "draft" but are unpublished, activated, and have all necessary fields filled.
Additional information:
-My goal is just to have a simple donation app, where patrons may donate $1 or $2 if they so wish, that's all. This in-app bill is not attached to the primary app that is for free.
I'm sure I'm missing some simple step/information/etc.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Troog

Unable to log into PayPal Sandbox

I can't seem to log into my PayPal sandbox accounts. When I try to log in I just keep getting the login screen without any error message. If I click on the "trouble logging in" link I get a message that "Sorry — your last action could not be completed" and "Dispatch Error, please check logfile for more information". Here's how I reproduce the problem:
Log into my PayPal developer account at developer.paypal.com
Go to sandbox.paypal.com and attempt to log in using any of the sandbox accounts set up under my developer account.
Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem:
1. Created a new, test business account under my PayPal developer account and tried to log in using that account.
2. Reset the password for my test accounts.
3. Cleared my browser's cache and cleared any cookies tied to PayPal.
4. Tried other browsers. The browsers I've tried are Firefox, IE and Chrome. All are relatively current versions.
5. Called PayPal tech support. They suggested creating a new account (#1 above).
In all cases I get the same result: I just get the login screen again when I try to log in. It seems like either I've forgotten something about how this system should work (it's been a couple months since I used the sandbox) or there's something wrong with the sandbox.
I originally ran into this problem because I was trying to send a test transaction to the sandbox and instead of the usual shopping cart screen I got the basic PayPal (sandbox) login screen.
maybe is some problem with sandbox, because i have the same issue, actualy today early (before 3pm) it was working fine, i noticed this problem at 4:30 pm (Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) -0600 UTC )

Not sufficient money, still transection completes

I am integrating iPhone app with PayPal. I am transferring money from one account to other.
For now i am testing it in sandbox mode. When i transfer from account1 to account2 and even i don't have sufficient money in account1. I thought it would give me error something like "No sufficient balance", But it doesn't . It completes transection.
what would happen in this type of scenarios when my app will go live?
I have also face the same problem a month ago.You are right it completes the transaction without any error.But one thing you have to notice that
account amount in which you are transferring the money.You have no
change/effect on that.
When your app go online ,it will show the error or notification
That was done in my case.Just i put my app online.

How can I simulate an error using Paypal Payments Pro sandbox?

How do I simulate an error with PayPal Payments Pro? I am trying to simulate things such as Suspected Fraud, Declined cards etc.
We are using Magento Commerce Enterprise edition and would love to be able to see errors from the user interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We are developing using the PayPal sandbox.
On the Developer Central site (https://developer.paypal.com), log in and go to Dashboard >> Sandbox >> Accounts. Find the email address for the PayPal Payments Pro account. Click on it, then click Profile. On the Settings tab, make sure that Negative Testing is enabled.
Once Negative Testing is enabled, make sure that the order total matches one of PayPal's error codes (you can see the full list here). For example, to simulate error code 15005 (which is your basic "card was declined" error), run a transaction for $150.05.
More info available here.
Edit 7/7/2017: Changed instructions to reflect the current location of the negative test mode toggle, and changed the link to PayPal's dev documentation.

s2Member subscription modification button not working in PayPal SandBox mode?

This question is relevant only for those familiar with the WP plugin "s2Member".
I've been trying to allow a "Free Subscriber" (level #0) to modify her subscription to a paying customer (level #1, for example) using a "Subscr Modification Button" carefully following s2Member's instructions.
In particular, I wanted the user's status to be changed due to the checkout in PayPal.
But the PROBLEM was that instead, the user kept on being redirected (after the PayPal process) to REGISTER for a new username for the site!!! The original existing user who started the process remained a "Free Subscriber" (and the new username, btw, would have a "level #1" access if created, but this is NOT what I wanted -- I wanted to MODIFY the existing user).
p.s. I'm using PayPal in SandBox mode, a feature which s2Member claims to support.
I assume your question is has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, my answer is "yes."
I just tried following the instructions demonstrated by the official video tutorial on my local WordPress installation with PayPal in sandbox mode. I logged in to my local WordPress site as a Level 0 (free) Subscriber and immediately after clicking the "Subscription Modification Button" that I created, I was asked to login to a PayPal sandbox test account. After logging in and paying to upgrade on my PayPal sandbox store, I was returned to my local WordPress install and greeted with the news that my Level 0 user account was not upgraded and this message which appears to indicate that testing subscription modification in sandbox mode is not possible because it requires email confirmation:

I went ahead and notified s2Member support of this predicament to see if they have anything to say on the matter.
Lastly, I think this question would be better suited on WordPress Answers.
