[Q] Words with Friends broken since TW Update - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

I had to update in the market place to fix mine. Works perfect now.

I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.
That and I can receive chat messages but I can't send them.

after doing the update from the market, i was able to send messages. I couldn't do anything without it FC or giving me network error message from the version that was loaded with Touchwiz.

How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.

when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61

Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up

Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

That did not work for me.

I removed my stock version and installed it again from the market. I pulled and zip the apk. Extract and install from from your sdcard.

I can't try it right now, but I will check it out later. Thanks for taking the time!

Naked, work was blocking the download. After getting impatient I tried logging into the Android market on my PC and forcing an install on my tablet. It worked like a charm! I am now running 3.61. I am testing it now, but I have yet to get an error.

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.

The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.

I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

[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] Word With Friends

I had Words with Friends on my Nook that was running Phiremod 6.1
It was working fine up until yesterday. I didnt update anything. When I opened WWF it said there was an update and it took me to the android market website where it said that the app was not compatible with my nook. I uninstalled it and tried to install it again but now I dont have the option to install it. Anyone else having the same issues?
same here im running phiremod 6.3 i even found an apk cause it wont download in market.im hoping WWF fixes this..
Same here - I'm running CM7. I'm hoping Zynga fixes this.
Yes I am having the same issues , running cm7 off sd card . When I open the words with friends it opens a window to update, I cant get around it. When I do try to update it it sayes the color nook is incompatiable . And yet it wont let me not update. All my family have ipod touchs and iphones and havent had this issue .
Same problem as well. Running Phiremod Nook v7 TEST. I installed the APK from the XDA site originally, but it seems like that version has now been blocked by Zynga - I get the update dialog that I cannot dismiss.
Tried uninstalling, but now I can't even open the APK from the links here to reinstall.
Settings- applications- find market- uninstall updates- download it with the old market.

That fixed it. Uninstalling the Updates to the Market did the trick. For some reason the new market doesnt allow a bunch of apps to work with a modified Nook.
that didnt work for me after clearing updates for market it still comes back as the new market..

Thanks! Worked for me too on the Nook Color.
The old Market trick works. You have to be quick though, else it updates again and you have to go through it again.
thank you I am back up running the words with friends with the old market
Reverting back to the old Market , allowed me to download game from market . All is well now . Thanks
Is there an APK floating around that i can send someone?
so there is no way to get it without reverting back to the old market? :-/

You could also change your dpi to 160 and then delete market data to continue to use the new market but it will eventually go back to the way it is now and you'll have to clear market data again.

GTA III

It is supposed to be released today on all mobile devices at $4.99 US. The photon is one of the supported devices. When it shows up for purchase I will be getting it
http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...year-anniversary-edition-coming-to-mobil.html
Just got it, I;m downloading right now
Well? how is it?
Hmmm, says its incompatible with all my devices...
Its running. Fine on my mopho and my 3d. .....

Running great on my MoPho and I/O gtab. You can go to the market on you computer and send it to your MoPho , that's what worked for me
photon with cm7
The game started up and downloaded the extra files but now it wont display anything then force closes. I'm running cm7 with the new 1.4 oc kernel. Any ideas?
So i uninstaled and reinstalled the game and works perfect now. I remember the first time downloading the extra files there was an error of some kind. No error on second try tho and works great.
I first had a problem where my internal storage was full but instead of saying so while trying to download the extra files, it just says no internet connection could be found. After clearing up that issue, the extra files downloaded but I am met with a black screen upon running the app. If I press the back button a message appears on the screen asking me press back once more to quit. I restarted my phone and it did not help. I cleared the app data and I'm currently downloading the files again.
Unrooted Stock Photon with all updates.
*Edit* Someone in the below thread said their issues were resolved by installing over wifi instead of 3G, which is what I have been trying. I will try installing over wifi tonight.

looks surprisingly well, controls are pretty good, although when driving the car the left and right steer are really sensitive but i didnt really mess around with the settings yet but looks 10 times better than it did on my ps2 when it came out. a classic
The game runs great for me, running rooted/unlocked CM7, but I'm having issues with the sound - not getting any at all. Anyone else have that issue?
anyone know what to use for wiimote controls?

Did it show up in the market when you manually typed it into your photon after you pulled the APK?

Nope, used a link to get to the app page in the market and it gives me the same incompatible message.
For whatever it's potentially worth for other problems, I solved my sound issue by simply uninstalling, re-downloading, and reinstalling the game. I assume some file containing the audio quietly failed to get properly downloaded.
if you are using jokers skinnyrev2test2, you wont be able to see it on the market however once you change rom's ( to lets say cm7 ) the market will see it just fine..

Guys, this is not piracy, it's a new "Gold App Sale" by Getjar. There's some great apps in there too!
the only thing i cant get to download on the TP is Tapatalk

Seems like some cool apps here not sure how to get them on the touchpad though as it doesn't seem to be a supported device.. Any ideas? Where do I get the getjar app I don't see it on their page anywhere...
use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

I was also having issues downloading at first using Dolphin browser, but using the stock browser it worked just fine. The first time I tried to DL an app, it said I needed GetJar and linked me to the file.
do you think you can use your PC browser and the quick download code and post it here? what device do you have it set to? I'm currently set on "Free Download".

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though

Mine wasn't working either... it was installed as soon as I logged into my google account and all my apps from my SGS2 were funneled onto the TPrime. It kept crashing out as soon as launched.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help

edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.
