I'm wondering why there are a lot of games that i can't get on this phone that i could get on my fascinate... It seems that anything the fascinate can run the rezound would run even better. Is there a specific reason i can get them? Is there a work around?
Thanks

Which games? Do you still have your fascinate? If so, make a backup and transfer it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
some of the games are not supported due to the screen resolution. Not all games run on different screen reso's.
It's not just games, there are several apps that don't work unless you grab the apk, for example Groupon.
Ahh OK, thanks. Well hopefully more apps will be updated to support it. It wasnt necessarily games i already had... I just noticed that some of the 10ยข apps weren't showing up on my rezound that were showing up on my wife's Droid pro and my old fascinate.

They are different $0.10 apps each day, as well as for different devices.
I asked groupon, and either their staff is incompetent or the email went too low on the totem pole. People asked me if my display for the rezound (when I told them it was a rezound) was QVGA, and refused to respond to the emails.
Does anyone have a link to the current groupon apk or a way to download that even though they simply don't list it for my phone?
with games, if our phone does not have support for it then it will not show up for us(like Asphalt 6 HD - no graphic support).
sometimes though, google or the dev will remove an app for any given reason. of course, when this happens you could always do a web search for "filename. apk" 4shared.com is a popular site that hosts. apk files(and they also have an app in market)

I was bummed on this one. I bought Asphalt 6 and its not compatible for this device. I'd love to drop the APK in this to see if I can get it working.

Not being a smartass, just google groupon apk and there will be an xda link for the motorola atrix forums...I found the apk there, installed it, and it works...I would post the link, but I'm on my phone at school.

SO I and MANY others have been experiencing a "regional restriction" set by either HTC, or the Market on the Flyer, which doesn't exist on any other device (that I know of). I was browsing my Pulse feeds, and came along an article reviewing this app. I thought I'd give it a shot, and sure enough, some of the apps I couldn't install on my Flyer were INSTALLED! I sent the apk's from my phone (EVO 4G) to myself in GMail, and BAMM! I only tried a few, but now have Google Voice, Bank of America, and more on my Flyer! I thought I'd share, since the problem is pretty wide spread, as I've read on MULTIPLE forums... Hopes this alleviates some frustration!

Now if that would work with Netflix, I would be very happy. I'm going to try it, but think there are other limitations.

Really strange...I'm in the US and got Netflix no problem...But I can't get Google Voice app nor Bank of America.
Woah ... Now I don't see Netflix in the market. I mean I did before, I installed it. I thought it would be listed with an orange "Installed" beneath it...Maybe it was temporarily there by some random chance and I snagged it??
Launching Netflix it asks me if I want to update, there's a new version. I say ok and it can't find the file to update. So it's definitely gone now and I can't update...But I can hit cancel and use it like normal.

What is up with that restriction? I've been getting the same problem for NFS SHIFT. Can't find gvoice on the market.
And the most annoying one. Is the YouTube videos only playing the first 20 secs of each video. I tried factory reset but nothing.
I got my flyer from ebay, I wonder if there's a way to check this restriction you are talking about.
Btw I downloaded the Google voice apk and it worked. NFS (which I already purchased) won't work even after installing the apk.
I used the app that is linked in the first post to email the .apk for every useful app from my old Droid x and my Evo 4g phones. Without exception, they all work on my HTC EVO View.
When I called HTC about the Bluetooth Hands Free profile not being available on the EVO View / Flyer, I brought-up my frustration about apps that work on the device not being available on the market. He blamed the problem on Google and Sprint. He said HTC had nothing to do with restricting availability of apps.

I wonder if I have an European flyer which has different market ? Google voice is US only, makes sense to exclude it from the UK market. Maybe that's the case ? Is there a way to check?
Also same thing with video restrictions due to location including YouTube won't play on my flyer. Im almost positive that's what's going on, I got it on eBay, so it could be anything, even Asian.

I sideloaded the google voice .apk, then added the EVO View's number to my Google Voice account. The Google Voice inbox Widget works fine and keeps me from having to fool around with my phone while driving. I doubt if it would work with the Flyer, since it does not have a phone number.
Tried to correct spelling, wound-up double posting. If a moderator could delete this one, I would appreciate it.

I didn't think this was piracy, they are running a promotion. If it is, I can take it down.
its not promotion..Its the new way to make money off paid by giving it for free......developed by Getjar....its not piracy at all,I dont know how it works....I downloaded BW from there long time ago and still running rock solid...
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
edit: anyone know a quick download code?
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

Same here, get the message "no compatible downloads for unknown android 2.3"
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
I was able to get Tapatalk, although it gave me an error the first time I tried.
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".

those apps are modified or all-the-same like orginal android market versions?

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
The battery in my phone (Epic 4g touch) died last night listening to Sirius while waiting at the dentist. Luckily I had my tp and mobile hotspot with me. I hopped on the market to grab the app and low and behold it was not there. What gives? Why are some apps available for certain devices and not others? Would copying the .apk from my phone to the /system/apps folder work? My tp is not rooted (yet) and up to date with all teh firmware.
Can't believe that app is not supported, really bullsh*t if you asked me. Give this app a try: https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImFpci5TaXJpdXNYTWZsYXNoIl0. It apparently opens the flash login page in your browser.
Ya wont work on the Transformer, you have to use the one that goes thru the internet browser, sucks for sure

Wow that app had a lot of bad reviews. It's really a shame the app isn't available. Why would this app be available for my galaxy s2 but not for this device? Aside from resolution would it really be coded differently?
SiriusXM 2.0 app
Just installed on my Transformer TF101 and it works fine. IDK if it works with Canadian accounts.
www megashare com/4164721
I just updated the siriusxm app and now it works. It says v 2.00 in the corner just like d2kplus said. My prime is rooted and running stock. I copied the app from my phone to my sd card since i could not find it in the market.
I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.

You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

Google Play is telling me my Google Talk has been updated to the new Hangout, but Talk still looks the same. Anyone figured out how to get the new one to work yet?
Also, playing with it on Chrome now... really don't understand why they don't let you see who's online. Pretty dumb.
I had to push it from the Play website for it to take.
You have to update the app using the play store website from a computer and send it to your phone

This is what it says in the app description:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!
So i think it will take time. Even I have the old talk application still.
Remove with titanium, install from store. Profit.
I got an update and I did it. I now have hangouts instead of talk. UI is slightly unintuitive, but then again, Talk was barebones anyway
I rolled back to talk. hangouts isn't as good. it's slow, takes a while to load up whereas hitting talk icon would instantly show your list and then conversation.. this is like it has to load from the cloud.. and then there's no buddy list so you don't even know who's online, or who's away so you don't disturb them. idk, i don't like it.

I really like the new hangouts. Sure it may load a bit slower, however it lets you know how far someone has read in the conversation and I don't get why it would "disturb" someone... It's just like texting they don't have to respond... Well to each their own, but I see the improvements big time.
it loads slower but swipe to the right for a buddy list.
