well recently ive been getting a lot of calls from people i dont recognize, some i recognize but others i cant honestly say....and usually that wouldnt be a big deal but they call me 4 or 5 times, and i dont want to pick up if it snt someone i know but if there calling me 4 times it could be important....for example, yesterday i was called 4 times by a number i didnt recognize, and the best i could do is google the area code, and it came up as california, but i live in new york....

I don't use app for this kind of concern, I consider using website like searchphonenumber(dot)website where I can get the result quickly.
Hi fellows,
I have got my Flyer a few days ago and absolutely loving it (like most of us here). However, I am a little stuck with something. There are a number of apps I don't find in the Android Market, which I had installed on my Desire S. For instance, below are the ones I find missing:
1- Marktplaats
2- Whatsapp
3- ABN AMRO Saldo
These are some of the must have apps for me. One thing I am suspecting is that since I have a Wifi only device, these apps might require a "phone" to get installed. Can someone here with a Flyer 3g version be kind enough to check these apps in the Android Market and let me know if they are available on the 3g models. If so, I'll sell mine and get a 3g version.
I also tried installing them from Appbrain but to no avail. Any other suggestion on how can I get them on my Flyer Wifi?
Thanks for your time and input in advance.
cheers,
Also on the last Facebook For Android Update it disappeared from my market too allthough i have it installed! (is not very good optimized for high res devices though).
BTW, Whatsapp doesn't shows up neither on my market.
Flyer 32GB/3g version.
I've noticed that many things are missing from the Market as well. When I go to the market through the browser and try to manually install it, I get an error that says my phone is not supported.
That implies to me that if your Flyer can't run it, it won't even show up in the market. This also goes for if the developers "update" an app and somehow neglect to add Flyer support... then it'll disappear from the market.
The app that I was trying to get was Netflix, which now works for Gingerbread... but doesn't work yet for our Flyers... They are still working on it, I'd guess...
Actually I've noticed apps that require the permission for "Phone: Read State of the Phone" or something like that, don't work most probably because we don't have phone.apk or dialer or whatever it is that lets you make phone calls.
App devs should consider tablets not to have this and remove it from the permissions they require.

Actually the 3G version does have a phone (disabled), SMS contacts etc. most of these apps should run just fine on the flyer. HTC really messed up with leaving the actual phone option disabled on this causing poor user experience both in regards to market access and actual usability.

True, they should just allow it to be used as a phone. Solves everything.

They aren't about to let you have a smartphone for as cheap as 20$/month

Firstly, a brand new device (my DHD went through this) is only able to see generic Google apps for about 1-2 months after launch.
Secondly (this does not apply to the OP) apps are limited by your location for who knows what reasons (Rights/social/religious restrictions ).
I have had 3x Android devices and live in the Mid-East. Google market is bare bones here but as soon as I take my devices back to UK... The curtains open on all the fair fields of app pleasure...
Can't get any dang updates when back here though... Anyone PM me the latest Fotmob apk?

I see. I've tried searching for Mega Jump in the Market and it doesn't show. I tried side loading it, and it works now.

for me it can't be location related. I have Desire S and Flyer both and live in The Netherlands. Apps on Desire S don't show up on my Flyer. I have also seen that Phone access is also not the factor (as some suspected), as some of the apps I have loaded on my Flyer did require Phone access and they installed even when Flyer is not a phone and mine is not even a 3G. Not sure what is keeping the full list of Android market apps to show up on Flyer.
I am also having trouble finding certain apps and I have the Evo View. Specifically Google Voice. I can get it to come up on App Brain but it says i can only download it from the Market which tells me it can't be found . I was kind of hoping to be able to do voice calls on this thing.
Contacted HTC
I'm not sure if anyone has contacted HTC yet about the missing apps so I sent them an email last night. I have the Evo View 4G and think the missing app problem can be resolved. At least I hope so. I don't mind installing APKs, but it doesn't make for easy updates and, frankly, we really shouldn't have to.
I do understand that certain apps won't be compatible with every device and these tablets are new to the market. But I think the ones that ARE missing are strange.
I haven't contacted HTC but I did send an email to the developer of one of the missing apps. No word yet. Even if you download APK from appbrain website and install "web installer" apk from the market, it still doesn't install the app. So it is not just not-showing issue, those apps are somehow not compatible with HTC flyer. Not sure what the difference is. Let's see if you get any response back from HTC.
HTC Response
Well, I did receive a response and basically was told to do what you've done and contact the developers.
"I understand that with you HTC Evo View 4G is not able to pull certain applications on the Market. With those applications I checked the Market on our tablet and they were not listed for me either. I believe with the device being so new the developers of those applications have yet to put the Evo View on their device list which allows people with those devices to download those applications. It is up to the developers to add support for the Evo View. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Not exactly sure how other 'new' device get automagic app support without developers going in and checking the compatibility settings. Doesn't really make sense.
Agree! I don't think there would be a check box in the app somewhere for Flyer compatibility, which all of these developers missed to tick. Anyway, thanks for sharing the response from HTC. I'll send that to the developer and see if I get something back this time.
Let me know what you hear back from the Dev and if I need to get HTC back on the line, I will happily do so.
that's really strange. If I follow the link to the missing app on market.android.com, it works on my PC. But when I click on the same link from my HTC Flyer, it says "requested item could not be found". It really seems like that the access is blocked for HTC Flyer. May be we need to spoof the identity to install these apps.
I have forwarded HTC's response to the dev and let's see what they come back with.
Cheers,
OK. I made some more progress on this one. If I go to market.android.com and try to install ABNAMRO SALDO app (the one I am using as a test case), I see this (attached).
It lists all my Android devices and you can read what it says under HTC Flyer. Translation: this item is not compatible with your device.
I have sent email to ABNAMRO dev team. Waiting to hear from them. Will keep everyone posted.
I get the same thing here for the View. Keep me posted. Anxious to see what the dev comes back with. Also ready to contact HTC again. Good luck!

Don't get that mad on the "phone disabled" thing. it just happened with the Facebook For Android official app. The last update just went away while other apps updated without problems.
Is not only not showing up since the beggining, is also disappearing once we were able to download them.
BTW, i have audiogalaxy installed which checks "phone status" and works w/o problems.
But it seems it's not compatible with my 3g flyer. Anyone know a way around this? Is the apk floating around somewhere?

I had to install it on my phone, register it. then back it up with TB and restore using TB on my Flyer. THEN it worked, otherwise it would just force close on startup.
oh interesting. I just got force closes after installing apk and gave up...will give titanium backup a go. Guess I have a reason to root now!
.
If you have a 3G Flyer and can not see certain apps on the market, it is due to carrier/country limitations.
First, I advise you save your desktop theme (or it will reset to default HTC, as when you bought it)
Borrow a US or European SIM card from someone (if you don't already have one) , shut down and then insert it into the Flyer.
You will be asked to confirm your Google password and then when you go to the market, it will be open.
Soz to the WiFi only guys, this is something that will not work for you until PPTP VPN is working for Android so you can fake your location..(or does anyone think that's WHY, PPTP encrypted has never worked... Hmmm)

Sorry that is simply not true. I have the 3g flyer with a US sim and I am in the US and I don't see the full market. MANY Alps are missing, including viber.

It is true as far as the country/carrier situation (or did you not read my post! I can use sign language if you wish. )
You may be in the US (country) but your carrier may not allow viber to be listed as it is a voip package and they would lose their nice call profits.
If an app still does not show no matter what country/carrier, then that is down to the actual developer not having approved your device in the compatibility list. Either there is a real compatibility problem or he just ain't got around to it yet.
Don't moan if you sideload it and it screws your device....
hey guys.
my wife's been mentioning that she's got an app saying she's got a missed call. it's not a system notification. it's got a orange/white star on the notification pulldown. when you click on it nothing happens.
today that same star (and i'm assuming same app) said "See who's spying on your profile!"...when I clicked on it, it opened a spam site (it was blocked by my ad blocker software).
I can't pinpoint any specific application that is obviously doing it.
anyone else heard of this or experience this? we both have the same rom and settings, difference are in our individual apps that we've downloaded.
please give me some help on how to figure this out! thanks.
I've not had this happen to me, but i've read some other posts about it.
It's something called "AirPush" i think.
You can download "AirPush Detector" off the market for free, and it can basicly tell you which apps are doing it (it can't remove it, but simply tell you what is doing it), and then you can remove them by yourself if you want to.
awesome thanks. that did it.
it was Root App Remover...which ironically I installed for her
all gone now.
thanks again!
Bright house just put out a app. for you to be able to watch your channels on your phone or tablet. My problem is when I install it , a pop up came up stating that I was rooted and that I could use this app. to be use on my phone.(I'm rooted). Any Dev out their could get a fix for this. Thanks guys all you do for us. By the way I have a Galaxy s II sprint.

I've tried some of the Hide Root apps, and so far nothing works. The brighthouse app continues to recognize the phone as being rooted. Sux

At least you got it to install, I get the message telling me that it's incompatible with my device. However, the TWC TV app (which it is likely rebranded from) installs fine. Just doesn't do much good when I have Brighthouse.
Brightouse is claiming "A rooted device does not allow us to set the permissions the LiveTv app needs to function properly".
Is this not such a bunch of crap. If their coders were worth a gain of salt they should have no problem changing or modding any permissions their app requires.
I'm guessing they are scared that rooted devices are able to record anything on the desktop. Sadly there are apps to help non-rooted devices to record the desktop too. So what would be the point of even searching for the xbin folder, which again I'm guessing that they are doing.. If this in fact what they are doing, could we add an app to rename that folder when the BH app is launched and rename it back when it closes?

Sounds like a bunch of bull****. A bit pissed that it aint working because of the stupid rooted crap. Someone has to find a way to modify the installation of this app but who will????
Thanks guys for the responds. Like everyone is saying it is a bunch of BULL****, but hopefully someone will come up for a solution to break this. By the way I started thinking why does it matter if our phones are rooted to B.H.. We pay them for service to our TV/Internet not our phones. It is not of their business what we do with our phones and if we made a decision to root, they should not block this app. to us. We pay the same amount that the person that did not root and they get to use this App.
I tried a little but the program won't get far enough along to help because usb debugging was enabled. I was using eclipse to monitor the log file while I launched the app.
There's a somewhat interesting (too much iFruit for me) discussion here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27195196-iPhone-Android-tablet-users-get-Bright-House-TV-App-Joy- on the subject. Looks like the reason behind the ICS only is because of DRM. Is it possible, the same reasoning was applied to devices being rooted or not?
the TWC app got a fix for rooted users, any chance there will be a rooted-compatible apk for the brighthouse app?
Wahoo!!
Got it working...
File is attached below.
Uninstall original, if installed, then install this one.
Also make sure any reference to "test-keys" in build.prop are changed to "release-keys"

Any chance of removing the HDMI check? Works like a charm, btw, thank you!

I got that on my touchpad when I was running a cm9 alpha, but it went away when I switched to the 6/11/12 nightly. Worked fine on that.
