Updated Market? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I have an EVO View Tab that I basically use as WiFi only since I don't have a Sprint contract. My G2 phone and even my Archos 70 have the new Market but this device doesn't . Any ideas why no update and how to update? Thanks in advance!

They don't have the new market available for our screen resolution you will have to download off the internet and push to system/app or if u have root root explorer. We got the short end of the stick in that department. I just ending up installing honeycomb with the tablet optimized market. I have a a lot of android phone just adb pusk the vending.apk to system/app/ and hopefully it should all be well.

I just used the .apk that's in the Android apps forum. Works fine for what I need.

Just to warn you. It might look a little strange when u get done because yet again. It's not optimized for our resolution. Even the archos has a significantly less resolution than our 7 inchs. Just something htc didn't implement. Eventually it might update on his own. But I'm one of the people that lack patience......lol

Apps/files dissapearing?

Starting to get a little frustrated. Has anyone else experienced their files and apps dissapearing? 3 large files I downloaded yesterday vanished, and apps dissapear, and I have to reinstall them. Shortcuts to apps also don't work, and the android icon shows even though the app is still installed... I sure hope HTC updates us soon, it'd be a shame to have to return the tab i starved myself for months to get, and have to get a bulky (but working) Xoom...

No issues like that with my Flyer.

New Android Market works on HTC Flyer. Grab APK Here

The new Android Market works great on the Flyer and brings movies and books to us all. Grab APK here.
But seems to be not optimized yet For flyer resolution. Fonts. Not showing. Probably

Hmmm, There doesn't seem to be a font problem with my Flyer.
The new Market app works fine here.
The only thing that looks weird is the first screen which looks like it is missing some boxes but this could also be intentional as the interface works as expected.
Much better compared to the old Market IMHO.
It won't work on my flyer. Keep asking me to login to google

Ditto. Hell of it is, I'm already logged in. Suggestions?
New market worked fine for me but was slower than the stock market so I reverted back to stock.

Will this new market app show apps I am able to see (get) on my HTC EVO 4g phone, but can't get on the EVO View tablet?

Android Market Update for phones working on tablets?

I occasionally check the other tablet forums and came across this APK of the phone market update and many people seem to be using the new market update on their tablets. From what I can gather from the xoom and iconia users is that it simply gives you two markets in your app drawer but it does seem to work. Although the "my apps" section is a little small.
One user from the download website posted he did this on his tab 10.1 with no problems. I would try it out but I always wait for a more established android user to say if something works before I try it. Any tab owners try this out for themselves already? What are your thoughts?

From what I understand the updated market for phones was explicitly made to be more tablet friendly in order to merge them at a later date with ice cream sandwich. I guess eventually our market will be updated to a styling very similar to the phone market. I haven't tried it myself but I don't see anything wrong with trying, just uninstall if it doesn't work.

I accidentally installed the new market on my 10.1 (wasn't paying attention to the apk I was installing). It does give you two markets, but it really screws with things... I got a lot of force closes, and it seemed to jump between the two markets. I wouldn't really suggest it.

Thanks man. Your more daring than I am. So updated market for phones is a no go then.

Games on Honeycomb

Before I changed to Honeycomb I bought Asphalt6 Nova2. Both games now don't work with honeycomb. Any solutions?
Have you tried other games?
Which ones are working and which don't ?

Are you able to side load them? Build.prop edits may help. Also curious if order and chaos works after upgrade. If not it will be like HTC gave me a nice new car but took a dump on the drivers seat

LOL! awesome metaphor. HTC isn't giving Honeycomb just yet. Maybe by the time the do release the official version, they will get these games to work. Also, the Devs here seem to be great at detailing your new ride. Give them time and I am sure they will get the poop out and hang a pine scented air freshener.
Haha fair enough. I bet his problem could be fixed by changing build.prop though

Order and chaos works great on hc! Doesn't show up in market but side loaded apk worked without build.prop edits or chainfire

Since the Flyer is not on the Gameloft supported devices list one has to make sure to buy games compatible with the Flyer's US cousin Evo View 4G. Asphalt 6 HD 3.01 works great on the Flyer under HC, Nova 2 FC's after the video introduction unfortunately.
Well when you goto gamelofts website on your device it shows it as the evo view and shows you a list of games that are compatable with "your" device....
That said I don't think this is HTC's fault... see my rant about gameloft here

Ea games won't download

I have need for speed hot pursuit, madden 12, and sim city I purchased from the market they all download, install and play fine on my captivate, but they won't download data the additional data on the flyer. Sim city and madden get to the download part and stay on 0% the whole time, hot pursuit says there is a server error and closes. What's the deal here? Anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I just attempted to use live chat for the issue. I tried Need for speed hot pursuit, and it didn't have the android version as an option for support, so I just selected PC, and when I got in the chat I told him I don't have an issue with the PC version, I am having an issue with the Android version, and he eventually told me he esculated the issue to the appropriate department and they'll contact me by e-mail within the next 24 hours...so yeah i got nowhere.
If there's anything I learned from EA, its that they don't take android seriously at all. Their support is terrible, and they literally let their games be broken for months before they release a patch that fixes the issue, but breaks many other aspects of the game. I actually uninstalled NFS shift on my Captivate because of that. One update broke the steering, and a month went by without a patch, and then they finally updated it, and after the update it no longer worked on my phone, force closed everytime I tried to race. I eventually just uninstalled it.
This is irritating though...I was looking forward to playing these games on a large screen!
Anybody?

Even that doesn't always work...
EA is making me mad. I mean I also contacted Rockstar on why GTA 3 isn't showing up in the market, and I got an e-mail back from them in an hour explaining they are testing it on a per device basis and haven't made it available to the flyer yet because they haven't tested it yet. I also contacted Gameloft yesterday about Nova 2 not showing up in the market and they contacted me back today stating it was an error with the market, and gave me a link for a direct download. EA? I e-mailed them 2 days ago and I've heard nothing back!
IF I had to guess I'd say alot of developers figure there aren't a whole lot of honeycomb devices anyway and Android is moving on to ICS anyway so they just didn't bother to port or get there stuff working right on honeycomb. I"m thinking ICS will fix most of the issues.
Well, I moved back to gingerbread to get my games working. I found a launcher that looks great on gingerbread (see picture near the end of the themes page)- and i haven't looked back.
Btw, would you be able to share the link for nova2? I bought it for my cappy, but it doesn't show up in my market. Actually wanted a tablet to enjoy that game better. I stopped playing it till I got a tab. Then it wasnt available!! Grrrr

Yeah its seeming thats the only way. I really do like honeycomb alot though, hate to go back. I just tried cutting and pasting the sim city game data from my captivate to the flyer, and it fires up, shows the ea logo, and then instantly closes. I think I give up for now. Would be nice if EA wern't such sorry asses and would fix this stuff, but apparently for now the only way is to downgrade to gingerbread.
I found a link on Google that had the additional data for sims. I researched the nan issue when downloading to find it. But id think the captivate one would work anyway. Someone's I wish I could dual boot hc or gb.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
So If I revert to gingerbread, and install all my ea games and download all the data, and then upgrade to honeycomb, will all my ea games work?
has anyone got any further with this? Because I have been trying to get NFS Hot pursuit for ages and all I get is sever error 5002.
or does anyone know a link to download the extra content?
I found one for worms after I got NaN error and it worked great.
I'm using a Sony Xperia s. And really want to get this game to work.
I have the same problem with my HTC Flyer and Real Racing 2.

I went through the pains of setting up an EA account in order to ask them about the NaN issue on the Sims game. Here was their glorious reply:

So no. Absolutely no help whatsoever.
Oh god yes ea doesn't take their mobile division seriously at all. You have to email and wait for a response. You can't use live support or call them. And if you email them using the developer contact information in the Google play store they tell you to go to their support site. I never even got a response from them but you just got a canned answer anyway. Makes me wanna boycott their mobile games honestly

I've been through the same old rigmorole with EA games.
Most games work on my Sensation XE, but not on the Flyer.
They're development department can't be bothered to make these games work on the flyer in my opinion.
Tiger Woods 12 and Bejeweled 2 would be awesome on the Flyer.
What a pity!

Really screw ea, the issue is ea not the flyer. They pretty much have an email account no one checks for mobile support. You can call them or use live chat for consoles and pcs but they really don't care about mobile games
