I used GetJar to download some free popular apps. I was bored using SQLite one day and went into GetJar. I did not like all info it seemed to be storing about my usage patterns. Ie, how often i open each app and when.
Anybody know about GetJar?
Right when that "Market" came out I used it and downloaded a few things shortly after I started getting the AirPush adds in my notif bar. I uninstalled the apps and the GetJar Market and haven't used it since.
You could disable its reporting in autostarts

Or droidwall. Some kind of firewall app

I use autostart sparingly but another reason I ask is because after installing Tapatalk from GetJar, all my phones notification sounds were changed to random 15 second sections of random songs in my library. I was at work, my phone rang, and all of a sudden Hatebreed was screaming through my speaker haha. Basically I uninstalled the market too.
Weird, I use it with no issues what so ever. I only use it to get the free versions of known apps like Tapatalk though. No adds in my notification bar.

I used it, but disabled it starting up when the phone started, never got any ads, however I would still find it starting up intermittently, so I uninstalled, I would install again if I found an app I like on there and uninstall after i need it
It's a battery hog. That I can say. I second thewarhawk's recommendation. Install if needed, uninstall afterwards.
+ 1 on no ads & battery hog. I always freeze it after I checked / downloaded something.
Never had a problem till trying to download a ROM and it tried to re-download itself while I was downloading the new darkside. It was uninstalled at time but the apk was still on sd card WTF.

I've noticed this app doing some questionable things. So I use it to download apps and then freeze it. When I wanna use it again I just unfreeze it.

weird, i've had getjar installed for months now and i haven't experienced a single thing anyone here has reported.
downloaded a few apps from it, but nothing major. Illusia, Swifkey X, a few other random games.

Me either, I haven't got any problem with getjar.
But the problem is they do not support update when downloaded apps are updated.
Even its weekly free apps are old versions..
Is it illegal market like a black market?
If it is, then I should stop using it..
But still no problem with it, yet.

Yeah. That's cause its a free app. The apps are tagged so that market knows it wasn't actually paid for.

I heard there is a new update for this app, however i can't seem to find it on the market. Is anyone having this problem?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It showed up as an update for me this morning.
I can't find it on the market though! :/

I got it a couple days ago... Have your other apps been updating normally? Did you try reboot?
What kinds of mods do you have installed or whatever?
Not in my market either
Yup, not there for me doing a search on computer, and when I select it from "my apps" in market on phone where it shows as installed, I get "the requested item could not be found".
Probably pulled for some kind of major fix/overhaul/legal issue or something.
Weird, I just searched for it and it is not in the market app, nor in the web marketplace. It updated ok for me though.
Something is fishy
It's not in my market either
I'm pissed I really want it

For enough money, I can get "it" for you!
I think its called score center
ScoreMobile
Forget about ESPN app. Go get ScoreMobile. Much better real time information and lots of personalization options. Very clean, easy to read interface compared to any sports app on the market.
It's called watchESPN. I am running the cm7 beta and I have it.

I'm having a lot of issues w/ the new Market app. It's not showing a lot of my paid for apps as well as others. Is there some sot of fix? Sorry if this is already a listed issue, I looked around and didn't find anything.
I agree, I myself have been. having issues with the new market even with market enabler turned on
I have been having trouble with it force closing. Wen back to the good old green market.
Market Enabler hasn't fixed anything. I tried several different apk's and none of them worked.

I've found that if you use the market site to download an app that you are missing, they'll show up.

If you're having problems installing and updating apps (getting the "Not enough space on this device" error) you will have to empty unused files out of your /cache directory. For some reason, the new Market uses /cache to download files to install apps instead of a folder in /data.
I'm simply having an issue with Market not showing a lot of my paid for apps.

I'm the only one with no problem with the new market. It loads even better for me.

Same here. It's been perfect for me.
Can't blame me tho just cuz I was the first one to upload the apk once I got the update lol.
But for real, it just works well for me. I'm sure you've done this but have you tried going to the applications settings and clearing data ? IDK, maybe may help. Otherwise, I'm no help. Sorry
Anyone else having problems updating apps via the new market?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I thought I was. Not sure if this is normal but my version of the market only downloads 1 app at a time. I thought it wasn't working when I lined up a bunch, but that's just normal now I guess. Is that the problem your having?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well mine says there is an update available but when I click into the app to update the only options given are open and uninstall
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It looks like they updating one app at the time like iPhone been doing for a while to make sure there is not problems at all, myself I went back to the old market it works great is just missing some items that the new one has
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Try this:
Open market. Menu << My apps.
Where it shows the apps that need updated, click on the refresh icon that has # apps next to it
That's how I did it, and it worked.
It still only does one at a time though.
No refresh button next to number of apps. I think I'm just going back to old market
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I have that exact problem too mrdiaz. It says afn update is available but when I actually click on it to update there was no option to update. I woyld just wait a couple days though then it would eventually let me update it.

hi all
have installed addfree for android
but dont help me
have adds
can someone tell me, what i have to do, for a adfree evo?
thy
Try rebooting and taking a look at your /system/etc/hosts file, you should be able to see if adfree has modified it or not. Some apps have started getting ads from their own servers so there's no easy way to block them
Just hit download and install hosts. Installing it doesn't do anything, you have to refresh the hosts.

Maybe adaway would work better for you? Free in the market.

Companies are getting smarter and thus ads are getting harder to block. The new Pandora app is swear gets its ads from Pandora servers. Oh well.

I have adds in apps
I've had an issue keeping ads away as well. I do think the deevelopers are getting a bit smarter about how they serve the ads.
Here is an old thread on the subject

It hasn't been updated in quite some time but it might help.
im just absolutely lost how/what is causing the notification popup add that i get which is for "win an ipad2..."
Itll randomly happen and not with a program up and running less its in the background. Its not a txt msg one but actual notification that sends me to a website. I scaned with lookout and all is fine. Also read up on the notification adds and thought it might be the airpush crap but the airpush defender app didn't find any apps using it when i installed it so im at a complete loss now as to why this is happening.

I've never seen the ad you're talking about but I wonder if Sprint is sending it to you. I used to get a bunch of text ads from Sprint until I called them up and told them not to send me anything anymore. You might just be able to call them and have them stop it.
You can never really tell what apps to trust and what not to, I guess.
Take Dolphin for instance, love the browser, but take a look at this.

Not directly "ad" related, but you get what I'm saying.
I found this app on another forum. It's nice because they post a handful of premium apps you can legally get for free.
GetJar
I came across it in my search to find a way to browse Rootzwiki w/o going through my browser. Rootzwiki now wants you to pay for their app and I don't want to spend even just a few dollars for the one thread I'm temporarily watching. Anyways, someone posted that you can get Tapatalk for free through GetJar. Many of you are already using Tapatalk but for those that don't know it allows you to browse and favorite hundreds of various forums. I never had the need for TappaTalk before and would have gotten it, but it's nice now that I could find it for free.
So through your phone's browser, you need to go to the http://www.getjar.com. Download their .apk and install.
Anyways, Beautiful Widgets is also on there for free and you can browse some of the other premium apps they'll find and post.
Nice find. Will head over there and check it out.

I snagged a few of the Gold apps a week or so back, including Tapatalk, and haven't had any issues with any of them. About once a month, I tend to install their market, check to see if they've added any good ones, then uninstall the market again. Unlike Amazon, you don't have to have it installed to have the apps.
Very nice find I payed for a few of these paid apps lol thanks.
U can also get free apps threw 4 shared there is a YouTube video on how too

Yes you can but isn't 4 shared cracked apps? I had some at first when I did not know better. Then deleted via root explorer and bought it through the market.
This getjar seems more legit and legal I hope.
Where did you find the apk file? Thanks.

You need to go to the website getjar.com and download the app first. I hope you are not asking about the 4 shared apk files. Warning I believe they are cracked apps on 4 shared unless someone corrects me?

Not if you are downloading free ones. Nothing to crack. You can find old versions of apps if you don't like the update in market. Sometimes updated get rid of exploits

Does this app register the downloads with the Android Market? Or is this app similar to the Amazon App that gives away apps for free each day but in order to re-download them you have to have their app installed.

They don't. GetJar has their own market, so any updating would need to be done through it.
I do believe 4shared is not legal do not use it! Let's be moral and support our devs. We should also probably not continue speaking of it for the sake of the thread.

For the record, I was referring to GetJar, which is legal. I don't condone the use of illegal apps, via 4shared/wherever.
It wasn't aimed at you or anyone really, I just kept seeing it mentioned. No worries.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
With the getjar, I heard people started having ads popping up when it was installed. Is this true? Is that why people install it to get the app then uninstall it?
BTW, even though they are free (I see things like Fruit Ninja FREE, etc), are these still add-supported apps? Or, is the free Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds add-free?
Thanks!
Maybe that's how they support putting paid apps for free on their website. The adds pay for the apps.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I will say that I've had ONE ad randomly appear in my notification bar (saying I'd won an iPhone/iPad/etc), but a friend (on a different network, on a different, non-rooted/modified phone) that I know for a fact has no apps from Get Jar installed got the same thing an hour or two before me (he even called to ask me about it, since I'm his "android guy" lol). Still not sure what caused that.
(Sorry about all the stuff in parenthesis)
