Couple of questions about newly purchased Hero - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a unlocked Hero which appears to come from Asia somewhere as the text input says Singapore, Thailand, etc. Anyway, the firmware on the handset is 2.73.707.9 is this the latest one? I know there was an update a few weeks back but it says I cannot download firmware from HTC Europe and HTC Asia doesn't have any firmware downloads. Also does HTC Sync work with Windows 7? And lastly, my girlfriend has a g1 and has Pandora in the market but I don't?? Thanks.

Yes that's the latest ROM. 2.73 is the rom number, I believe (but I'm open to correction) that the next 3 digits signify the region the rom has been released to.
With Pandora, I read somewhere that this has something to do with the Hero's "official" status in the US. Pandora is only available for "released" devices in the US and the Hero isn't yet fully releasesed. It should show up at some point though, just a question of patience.

I only use HTC Sync for tethering, but I can confirm that this function does work on Windows 7 RTM.

Try using Market Enabler to see if this helps.
Regards,
Dave

Market Enabler didn't seem to do anything...also don't have ebuddy in market

With Market enabler you have to first end the market task, clear the cache and then apply the market enabler. Try this hope it works.

hmmm dont see your problem my htc hero first day downloaded pandora works great too

download Pandora to your GF's G1 and then use back up for root and copy the APK to your Hero

Just realized I need root for market enabler to work and the current rom that came preinstalled cannot yet be rooted =\

[REQ] - T-Mobile VVM (Visual Voice Mail) APK

So, I flashed Eugene's latest JPM Froyo and while I backed up my "user apps", for whatever reason that didn't include TMO's VVM. Anyone have the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail APK? Usually it's available in the market.
However, on this rom it doesn't seem to be available there. I also didn't see it posted anywhere here on XDA and I'm not aware of any rom which I could pull it from.
Can someone post it?
Thanks in advance!
Here it is...

updated version?
It appears to be the latest. Eugene provided it. Thanks go to him! I'm also not showing an update in the market now like I was after having an earlier version from an old backup.
Yeah, thanks for posting it, it's not in the market after the new official MyTouch 3G 2.2 update, either!
T-Mobile Visual Voicemail seems to be totally taken off from market!
Hi
As it seems, After a sudden update yesterday, T-Mobile (USA) have taken Visual voicemail off of the Market entirely! I kinda became very dependent on it! But thanks to the Gentleman/Lady for posting it here!
Thanks
Man, thanks a lot!!! I was searching for this since my G2 doesn't come with it.

That link does not work on my G2. Is there anyone who had success with that link? I had that voicemail app on my 1st G2 I had sent back. Why would T-Mobile take ths app down???
Latest VVM apk
Here's the latest version of the TMO VVM application. If you have the original version installed, remove it first before installing this one or the install will fail.
Thanks...how do you install this?
I have the Visionary root app installed.
Thanks for any help!
@cbbyers: Thanks..totally new. Is this for G2?
Downloaded the above apk and it did NOT work on my g2.. installed app and started it and started it up and got message unable to authorize purchase.... my marketplace works fine... seems like this app has been DISABLED by tmobile?
Just curious, does this app do something bette than Google Voice?
Thanks looks great..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Not sure if this works on the G2, but it's the official updated version of VVM released by TMO a few weeks back which works with wifi enabled. I have the Mytouch 3g Slide and this version works fine. I was unable to locate it in the market and assumed that was due to running CM 6.1.
For those of us who are on FlexPay, I don't think T-Mobile allows us to change our voicemail provider; at least they didn't the last time I tried.
If it's not working, make sure you have your line provisioned by T-Mobile for Visual Voicemail (it's free). I had it on my myTouch3G 1.2 before and it worked immediately after download, when they updated it though it checked for the provisioning and would return an "unauthorized" error.
I just downloaded this one since the market one is AWOL again and it seems to be working fine on my G2.
Works fine on my G2. I installed tmo-vvm-1-2-19.apk version.

Here is how you install it.
1. Download the apk file (tmo-vvm-1-2-19.apk) and save it on your SD card.
2. From Android market, download and install App Installer
3. Launch App Installer and it will detect the apk file you have in your SD card
4. Select the apk file and it will install tmobile VVM on your G2 phone
Cannot download
(My post applies to the G2, should have probably posted under G2 in thread 819103 but noticed this only after the fact)
As far as I can tell the app is working (just did one quick test so far).
I was also on a support chat w/ TMO and here's the relevant info from that:
^ Karel F: There will be a update sent coming soon I do not have the effective date on this but it will be soon.
^ Karel F: We have to finish the test run to make sure the update works first then it will be pushed out to all of the devices.
Me: so is this an update to phone SW or the VVM app you're talking about?
^ Karel F: For both.
^ Karel F: This is a system update for all of the devices.
^ Karel F: This is to also fix some other problems that the device has as well.
Me: So in the meantime no TMO VVM?
^ Karel F: Yes I do apologize about that I did add it to the account so when the update comes to the device it will download automatically.
Voicemail notifications don't work for me. I need to do a manual sync form the app to get voicemails. Anyone else also having this issue?

[Q] Barnacle Wifi Tether

Hey guys. I made a mistake, here is what happened. I had ROOTed my phone a while ago and downloaded Barnacle. It was working flawlessly. My phone started acting up so i had thought to exchange the phone for another one, so i unrooted it and removed all the rooted apps i had on it. I didnt exchange the phone because it isnt giving me random reboots and the battery isnt getting really really hot when what i think its charging but it really isnt. I decided to keep it obviously and i just rooted right now. I go to download Barnacle from the market site and i am not allowed to click on my device that i have listed because "this app isnt allowed by my carrier" or something along those lines. Is there a way i can still get this app??
Thanks in advanced
From market, search and install "Market Enabler". Use that to change your market region to Telstra (Australia). Now you can search in market for Barnacle and be able download/install it. After that, revert back to your original market region with market enabler.
Thank you VERY much sir. Worked perfect. So what else can i do with this Market Enabler app?
Glad that it worked
I have no idea what else you can do with it since this was the only reason I used that for myself. Basically if AT&T removes a particular program from their market, you can search for other providers' market with this app and install the program.

Just wanted to throw this out there. With a lot of apps made for rooted phones you can usually download the apk right from their respective websites onto your phone and use the built in file manager to install them. That's how I got Barnacle anyways.

Well, here's the thing. If it's not already listed as a compatible app for your phone than it won't link to the market regardless. It would work just as well to check the website probably once a month for updates, just as you would have to do with the market enabler. But if you use the website, you could get your hands on some beta versions ahead of time.

But I digress, it's really up to the user what they want to do. I was merely just pointing out a different option.
Thanks, I learned something today
I used market enabler method because I though it would update automatically, which apparently isn't the case.

Well, I'm not entirely sure if you can just switch providers to enable updates through the market but I would assume it would still need to be done manually.
I just loaded it from the Barnacle site, which worked well...
Ditto, Thank you for this thread... I was looking for a good wifi tethering app. Now if only AT&T could get their act together.
Anyone using this app got a letter or text from ATT?

[Q] Missing Apps in Market?

Been looking on other forums for this, but to no avail...
Was looking for:
Pulse Reader
Team Coco
Lopez Tonight
and honestly, I just forgot to write them down... I was going to sideload them if I had too, but I thought about Appbrain ( which works ).
I cleared the market cache in settings and rebooted, still didn't work. Any ideas?
I was about to start exactly the same thread. I can't install most of the popular apps on my Flyer. No Raging Thunder, no NFS Shift, no Dolphin Browser... It seems nothing is compatible with my device. Android web market says "This item is not compatible with your device HTC Flyer P512".
Anyone experiencing the same? I'm living in Turkey, is this happening because of a regional restriction?
I did a full wipe of the device and still noticed things missing afterwards in the market.
Appbrain (which is a great little app ) and Appbrain.com seem to have allowed me to get -most- of what I can't find in the market by searching. Wierd eh?
This is honestly not what I was expecting since I had the Xoom and wanted a smaller form factor to use daily.

Thought that Market Enabler would only work with cell connected devices? And since ours is wifi only, it sees our source IP and blocks it?
edit: nevermind I see you have a 3G Flyer
I run into this problem as well on mine, so I just download on my DInc2, use Astro to backup and push it to a folder on my dropbox, and load from there....have done quite a few apps that way.
Convoluted, but it works

Honestly, I am baffled the devs haven't rooted this yet. I didn't get the vibe that HTC products were difficult considering how fast root is achieved on HTC phones. Totally different I suppose?

So this is not a technical limitation but a regional one. But why? I can't see the reason.

Most of the unavailable software are listed in HTC Likes app, but when I try to install, it says "The requested item could not be found".
Same goes for me. I can find the apps I'm looking for (mainly Google Voice) in appbrain, but when I try to install, the item cannot be found in the market, like when I search for them there... Really doesn't make any sense (pun intended). I can't get HTC likes to work for some reason, either... Different thread for that, though...

If you cant get them to work, a factory reset should do it or if u are rooted, wipe all and reinstall rom
If you're running a custom ROM, it's possible that there's info in 'build.prop' that the Market reads and could flag apps as incompatible. What are you running ?
FWIW, I didn't check Adobe Flash 11. When did that get released, a day ago ? Two days ago ? Haven't heard there's been an update.... I'll go out on a limb and say that one won't across too many sites that are "Flash 11 only" yet either !! I think you can hold off for a short bit to get that one sorted out !
As for the others, the Market says they're "compatible with all of your devices". I have TBolts and Eris linked to my account, so yes, they'll even run on my old Eris.

Adobe Flash only shows up in the Market if I look for it. It doesn't appear under My Apps. When I do find it, it has the "update" tag on it though. I don't know if it will eventually auto-update or not since it's a baked-in app. Maps does though...

Once you update it, it will be linked to the market then since you will no longer be using the /system/app version (you'll be using the /data/app version market installed). So from then on it will be listed in your market when an update is available. As far as making that "automatic", you'd have to check that box in the market for that app.
As someone said, it could be something in your build.prop such as your model name, lcd density, or fingerprint.

My apologies. I believe I did use the market to install Flash 10.3 and choosing to auto update. I am using Market version 3.1.6 btw
And I assume that Google pushes updates to their apps which is why Gmail and Maps constantly update without user interaction.
Sent from my brain.
I think with Google's apps, they took it upon themselves to default the "update" flag to 'yes'

I was just talking to a guy about this. Did you by chance change your screen density? The stock density on the Tbolt is 240. Or if you are using a custom rom maybe the density has been changed?
You can use Root Explorer and go to system/build.prop. long press and chose to view it as a text file and check the density is 240.

install tablet Android app on Android phone (HTC One M7)

Hi Guys,
I just rooted my HTC One M7 with the hope that I could find and install an app that I want to run on my Android phone that is only available for tablets. Unfortunately my Google play store still cannot find the app that I want to run on my HTC One M7.
This is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dbox.hemc_control_app
I cannot get an .apk as it seems (looked on google for it).
Is there any way to be able to run this app on my HTC One M7?
Here's the APK, got it on my Flyer and shared via OneDrive... cheers!
http://1drv.ms/1NF6ITm
Tell me when you get it so I can take it offline.
