Hi there guys,
Today I was downloading this app for the very first time. It's showing app size of ~3MB but while downloading, it shows app size of ~1.6MB. I have never faced this problem with other apps.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
Was you updating the app?
I only ask because the playstore will now only update the files in the app that need updating rather than downloading the whole app again. It was bought in to save peoples data usage
Also the same with JB itself
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply. I know about the new update feature that's why I wrote above that I was downloading this app for the very first time. And that's why it caught my attention. I downloaded it again and same thing happened.
If it's not compressed it must be something to do with a download within the app.. Or its furrgged upp
Mine does the same btw

incredible and the same to me and all you can see that's wrong (in the descriptions) is that it is designed for official roms not custom

Hey guys my girlfriend plays a game on her android called "Tap Fish". In this came you can download other games and you get some prize for doing it. She asked me the other day "how does the app know that I downloaded and installed the game?". I thought that was a pretty interesting question. How do the apps that offer this service know if you have downloaded and installed the game?
Thanks guys!

It makes a connection with market to verify the download of another app. Also, it can be ptrogrammed to wacth system files to see if the app has runnend ever for a certainly amount of time. Is just download a new app to get rewarded or u may exec the new app?

She says it depends on the app. Most of the time its just download and open the app. But some require you to play till level like 2 or 3.
What system files is it tracking?

it was as per my inside sources rolled out in the US today,,,
not sure on other parts of the world.....
I opened market earlier today and it gave me the Terms and Conditions prompt again, but this time for Google Play. But no update on the market app itself. I wonder if they start pushing it to my region, would I need to go back to stock to get it?
installed it, nothing changed on the UI, only the icon

Works great
I downloaded it and flashed, works great. i was just saying the other day it would be great to be able to remove unwanted apps from the my apps section. Also, multi select works for me. the first time i did it it gave me an error saying conection timed out then i did a single delete and the others disapeared that i tried before as well. After that i was able to select as many as i wanted to delete at once, i think at one point i had atleast 50 selected and all were removed no problem. It doesnt jump back to the begining of the list when i press back from previewing and application anymore either :laugh::good:

General UI
This has even chnged some of the general UI. When i download an application and it finishes it looks different, could be the upgrade i did to my rom but im not sure.
They fixed that bug where hitting the back button after clicking on an app from the search results list always took you to the top of the list.

Thank god, that pissed me off when I was browsing, to the fact that I RARELY browsed using the Play app, more often Appbrain.

How do you multi-select to remove several unwanted apps at once? I can only delete them 1 by 1 and the annoying thing after you remove an unwanted app it goes back to the top of the list. Thanks.
Edit: Figured it out
When i did it i just held down on the app i wanted to start with then selected others after, its like multi selecting in the gallery. the delete button is the circle with the line through it at the top right.

I've searched for days whether anyone else had experienced this problem regarding play store but couldn't find proper solution!
The problem is, whenever i download large apps from play store (say, 50+ MB), the download suddenly stops. the play store app says its downloading but not a single byte is being downloaded. And the other problem is, i cannot resume downloads. What can i do to fix it?
I thought this would have occurred coz of flashing excessive ROMs so i flashed back to stock but even this didn't solve this problem! this is very frustrating as i am trying to download an app ( of about 800+ MB) for days but couldn't finish downloading it! any suggestion would be appreciable! T

Menu-Settings-WiFi-Menu-Advanced. Make sure it's not set to time out after a while. Also make sure that you actually are connecting to the router, with permission. I know that my router here at home you connect to it, and see it. But you cannot actually use it till you enter the password.

Yea i do. The app downloads but stops downloading after certain time. It gets stuck ( let's say at 70%)
The "downloading" notification on the notification bar also gets stuck. I have to restart my phone to remove it.
P.S. Sorry for late reply.

If the available space in the folder /cache on your phone storage is smaller than 50MB, then you can't download apps larger than 50MB coz /cache is the place to save temporary app files you download from google play. But you can try Java-based Real APK Leecher on your PC to download large apks directly from the store.
Are you on the latest version of the Play Store?

I guess this is my problem. Coz my phone storage is low; which means /cache is of low storage too right??
Edit: is there any way i can download apps straight from play store to my sd card without using play store.??

That's the point. The most important defect of android is that the manufacturers paid too much attention on how to adapt the OS for various devices and ignored the actual user experience. As for your question, I searched around and get no answer.
Yet I can give you two suggestions:
1. Download apps from some third-party app download sites which allow you to get apks and bypass play store.
http://www.tipsotricks.com/2012/07/top-10-sites-to-download-free-android-apps.html
Pick up one in this link.
2. Repartition your phone storage. I'm not sure about how to do it coz I haven't tried that before. But I know there are many idle space in other partition like /system which you will never use. So, distribute them wisely.
Good luck!

You're welcome.
You can download not only the apks, but the client of those third-party markets. For instance, here's a link introducing 1mobile.com's client: http://www.1mobile.com/app/market/?cid=9
Directly download link: http://f.1mobile.com/mobile_software/channel/1MobileMarket_c.apk
It's similar to play store and may notify you if there's an update of one of your installed apps. Try app clients made by various websites repeatedly to find out the best.
Also, try some android PC suites which let you to update android apps via PC.

Few day's ago I saw an app on some website that I forgot what it's called or which website it was. I need help to find it. What the app does it's allows you app to update eve if it say there is no update. The apps size is as I recall between 10 and 100 kb. All it does iz a tweak that allows you to update.
If anyone came across such a app please let me know.
Thanks....

Sometimes your app wont update cause of your country location or if you installed a full version without buying it for a marker. What this app does it let's you update.
