I have a quick question about App compatibility. I am going to Disney in early May and wanted to give their official app (Mobile Magic) a try, but when going to the market place, I found that the Rezound is not currently compatible.
Is there any way for me to get it to work? I have a little time before we go, but I have no idea how often they update the app for newer phones.
The first thing you do is download it and try it.
He can't. If the market says it isn't compatible, then it won't let him download it to try it.

Yea, exactly. I guess I should have been a little more clear and mentioned that I was on the market website not the app on the phone.
Do you have another android device?

Ha, yea, a tablet but it is not compatible with that either. It is compatible with my old Droid Charge which I no longer have though
you could alter the build.prop so that it would let you download it. No promises that it will work.
You should be able to grab the app on the web version of the market and then install it on your phone regardless of compatibility. Or try one of the other markets like Amazon or app brain(if they carry the app).

If I use the web version of the market it shows up, but will not let me send it to the device. I can try Amazon or AppBrain to see if either of them work.
I am assuming in order to alter the build prop I would have to be rooted to do so, which I am not currently.
I'm assuming its a paid app? You could always just download the .apk. But that would be illegal..

I was able to download Monopoly via Amazon instead of the market. The market kept saying it was not compatible with my phone and when I saw it on Amazon as free app of the day I tried it and it worked. Don't know if Amazon has that app but its worth a try.

Amazon doesn't have it. If someone has a phone that can actually download the app from the market and is willing to post the apk, I could try loading it that way.
I can't find any way to contact Disney to see what their plans are for the app and their compatibility list on the website for the app is out of date because I know some phones that aren't in their list that will work with the app.

As we all know Amazon has a App of the day going on. This is the official thread for us to post, talk about, and broadcast these applications. How ever it can get extremely sticky. They are only free for 24hrs and since it is Amazon's choice to eat the cost for these please do not post links to any .apks, including sites to where the .apks can be found. you may only post links to the Amazon site and/or the Google Market site. I did talk to the local mod before posting this and according to them posting links to the .apks or source of .apk will be treated as warez and punished accordingly.
Mod edit: Any links anywhere outside of the OP will be removed, and if they are links to the apks or other sites hosting the apks they will be treated as warez.

The reason they do that is so if you want to buy an application it the price will be applied directly to the card on file.
glad someone started this...i think i suggested this after the third or fourth day due to the inflood of free app threads (didnt start it myself because i do not have the time to maintain it)

I just wanted to start it so we could have a common place to talk about the Deal of the Day. I know they'll be a massive flood of people talking about stuff. I'm going to be whoring the apps. The games i'm letting slide under the radar.
You can select install on the app of the day, let it authenticate and download, then choose not to install and it's considered purchased. Just so everyone knows. That way you can get all of the apps they offer even if they don't sound appealing or useful atm. Never know, once the day is up you'll not have that chance again...
Is there any way to receive an automatic notification of what the free app is each day? I know one of these days I'm going to forget to check...

Nevermind I was wrong. I looked last night at a time when they should have had another free app up and the space was completely blank. I searched online and found a thread on another site that said they were stopping the free app a day giveaway. However I just looked and they have a new one up.
what if you download the app of the day and save it to sd card and uninstall the amazon app store...will the app/game still play after cause its now on ur sdcard...
So is this not being updated or what?

If you can get over the fact that it comes from Microsoft, the Bing app for Android is actually a pretty good app.
Here's a review of it: http://www.androidcentral.com/bings-android-app-redesigned-brings-bit-metro-it
I use the maps piece of it as I find the traffic overlays are more accurate than Google maps traffic.
The issue from the other thread (which unfortunately escalated into a shouting match) is that the latest version of the Bing app has something going on whereby the market thinks it is not compatible with 2.3 roms (I've tried both IHO and asop) and you cannot download bing if you are running one of these roms. If, however, you download Bing using a 2.2 rom and then restore it to a 2.3 using Titanium or another backup program, the program runs fine.
I don't have many more details than this. If you want to help debug and solve this probem, please post! If you are not interested, please let us work on this without snide comments about "why would you want to use bing?"
And please, do not post in the IHO thread. All Bing discussion should remain here.
Only bing I care about are cherries and Crosby.

Yahoo uses Bing's search results. If you submitted to Yahoo, it's also on Bing.
While it doesn't show up in the google market it does in fact show up in the Amazon app store. This seems to be either an m$ issue or a market issue. Not sure why everybody is so passionate about this as there appear to be multiple ways to install it all legit like.
Unfortunately, the version in the amazon app store is very old (version 1.02.530.20110404 which is from April.) The latest version in regular Android market is 2.0.546.20010811, released August 15)

As pointed out amazons app store as amazing as it is. It is lacking in updated apps. Partly because the approval process is a pain in the ass and partly because some devs stop messing with amazon because of the trouble to get updated apps pushed.
Another thing amazon app store doesnt check your phone to see if you can install the app all the time. Only if the dev has specifically done so upon uploading. I can download apps that will not work on my optimus from amazon and android market has it hidden from me.
There's noway that someone could just post the apk?
So i'm running IHO id have to flash like bumblebee or something? download bing, backup and then reflash iho??
Or just get it from Amazon
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Ok but the one on amazon is an old version.
To me, the issue is not so much having someone post a copy of the apk (which is really a band-aid fix.) Rather, I'l like to harness the collective brain of this community to determine a root cause and see if we can find a fix or patch.
For example, is the issue caused by the market seeing O/S 2.3 and thinking it's not compatible?
Or, is it caused by the carrier ID code? (So, for example, can we use Market Enabler https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en to work around the problem?)
What's wrong with Bing? its not like anyone uses it >.>
so i tried market enabler and i still wasn't able to see the bing app on the market. But i think that market enabler does not work with the latest version of the market. is anyone here on a 2.2 device? try to download bing please!
I "acquired" an apk for an app and now I'd like to buy it but the market only gives me an option to update the app and when I do it tells me that I haven't bought it.
I've tried uninstaling, clearing market cache, installing through online market, delinking from market in tb but nothing works.
Any ideas on how I can make the market forget that I ever had this app?
You said you tried uninstalling; what did you uninstall? The market or the app?
I've got the same problem. Installed one of Getjar's gold apps (free apps that are paid on the market). Got fed up of it sitting there in the Android Market's updates list (it seems not all developers bother pushing updates to getjar, and you still have to manually redownload to see if there's an update) but I can't get the Market to let me buy it - it seems to have latched on to the getjar version.
When I uninstall the app, it shows up in the market as purchased, but attempting to download fails the additional checks. Since it thinks its already purchased, I can't buy it.
I tried clearing the market data and cache, but that doesn't make a difference
Try installing the app again and clearing the data for that app and then uninstall .. Also check your sd card to see if you have app data on there

Both. First it was the app and now I've update market too. It's definitely a market issue as when I check it out online it shows as "purchased".
I just found a solution - find the app on the web marketplace, and it'll let you buy it there, then the phone will happily update.

The app shows up with "purchased " next to it. I then click on that followed by Install but then a toast message appears saying that it's not been bought.
In the web market it also says purchased although that's where I'm going to dig around next.

That's the problem - when an item needs to be updated in the market you only get options to Open and Update rather than Open and Uninstall. I could try to get the "acquired" version update and then uninstall that I suppose.

Yes you could. Also, you don't always get Open and Update. Sometimes you may see it say Update and Uninstall and if you click update and it fails (for some reason), then it changes to Open and Update.
Don't uninstall from the market use your stock app manager or titanium backup if you have it but first clear all traces of the app your trying to un install.. Cuz their may be some kind of cookie/data Installed that is telling the market you already have it

I had the same problem and this is what I ended up doing.
Under Manage Applications/all
clear data and uninstall updates for market
clear data for download manager
Now I opened market and had the old/original market back, before it updated again I searched for the app that was bugged and it let me purchase/install it on the old market. A minute later the market was auto updated. Not sure what steps were actually needed but this is what worked for me. GL

Just install the "acquired" version, then goto Market and un-install it. After that the market will show an option to purchase.
I had the same problem. I installed version2.2.6 of the market. and searched quickly for the app that said purchased before the market updated automatically. It let me purchase it. Problem Solved. I would post the link, but I don't have enough posts here.

I'm willing to bet not at first. I believe Verizon will keep it off so that it can substitute its own program that does the same thing. Then after a bit the devs will get it working for everyone to use.
I'm pretty bummed the device's for VZ are still shipping without Wallet...The previous "excuse" from VZ was that
...because Google Wallet did "not simply access the operating system and basic hardware of our phones like thousands of other applications," the service "needs to be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones"....

http://www.androidauthority.com/google-wallet-for-verizon-galaxy-nexus-50922/
...How to Install Google Wallet on Your Verizon Galaxy Nexus Manually:
1. Open browser on your phone and open http://market.android.com
2. Look for Google Wallet
3. If the browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. You should stay in the browser.
4. Once results come back, tap on the icon for Google Wallet.
5. Tap the Install button before signing into your Google account.
Remember, you are doing this from the browser and not from the Market app.
6. When you have already signed in, you will be redirected to the Market page in the browser.
7. Don’t be surprised to discover that you don’t have an option to install the app since it doesn’t support Verizon.
8. Tap the back button so you are prompted for the Browser or Market again. This time, choose the Market.
This will let you open the Google Wallet page through the Android Market. You will get the option to install already.
