Is anyone having trouble finding some apps in the market after upgrading to MR2? I was trying to get to AlphaMixr back on but am unable to see it in the market after upgrading. I am still able to find it when searching on my wife's myTouch though.
Did something on our phones change after the update that could cause this?
Twidroid Pro isn't showing up for me anymore. This is pretty disheartening, as I purchased that application, and now can't get the updates for it.
A google search on the matter reveals we're not alone. I guess it has to do with Google and their copy protection scheme not playing well with the MR2 that dropped last week. Furthermore, it looks like it happened during the last upgrade as well.
Ahh well I guess it's just a matter of time before the issue is fixed then. Thanks!
I've heard that the Atrix, Inspire 4G, and a few other newer phones aren't supporting installation of non-market downloaded apps. Has anyone heard if the TB will follow suit? Since there are some unboxings and reviews of it on youtube, I would figure someone would have checked already but I can't find anything on it.

at&t does to all android phones regardless so thats expected
Verizon hasnt yet so i doubt it
even so, just use ADB to sideload if it comes to it
from what I know its an ATT thing not an htc thing... they wouldn't allow nonmarket apps on the aria either... if I pick up the phone and go into development and it doesn't allow me to install non market apps I'll give it right back to them... not to steal anything but becuase sometimes newer isn't always better... sometimes older versions work better for me
They shouldn't be able to block you from installing anything, it's trash.
Any way to do this yet without the wonder machine?
yes, either root the phone or use htc sync if you hate adb
Hi Ive been trying to root my Nabi 2 tablet to access the Google Play Store. Ive downloaded ADB and followed instructions, Ive also got the correct drivers etc, when i ran the root tool by jmz I chose option 1 and it ran through the process, is there anything else I need to during during this as I then booted up and it was just the same as before?! Im normally an apple fan and experienced in jailbreaking etc but this is my first android as Im trying to exchange all my apple devices for android lol. Can some help me find a step by step full tutorial as Ive been trying to follow the one in this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1905674 but I cant understand what else I need to do?! Thanks in advance
Anybody?! JMZTAYLOR if you see this can you please write a quick tutorial on what I need to do as Im clearly doing something wrong. Its probably just something so simple Im missing?! Any advice would be highly appreciated, sorry if this post is extremely noobish Im normally very adaptable!
Any Luck?
I was just wondering, it's been over a month with no post here. Did you get it working? If so can you post your solution or a link to the thread with the solution you used?
Not sure about the root tool for your device, but any good root tool will install a superuser app, such as Superuser:

Not sure if you got your issues sorted yet but if you go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 I am sure someone could help you. I just rooted 2 in about 20 minutes over the weekend. Good luck
There's no need to root the nabi for the play store...

Interesting, except for step 21:
21. Do not update or attempt to install any apps, as it will force close the Google Play Store. The apk file installed is not fully functional on the nabi 2 Tablet. It does however allow for the purchase of Books, Movies and Music. The following pop-up will appear if you attempt to update or purchase an app.
If you root you will have a fully functional Play Story as well as text AND video on Google Talk plus many other features

My son is getting this for christmas. I know really all he cares about are the google play apps and youtube and other features that need this process in order for him to achieve his wishes... (whew)

Any warnings that i should heed other than a voided warranty?
Has anyone heard of anybody bricking a nabi 2?

Thanks for any help

I want to get Google Play working on my son's Nabi 2 as well, but I'm pretty concerned over the touch calibration issue some people are having on the ROM thread about rooting it. I've only had one android device (my galaxy s2) and thought about rooting it, but couldn't find an overly compelling reason to do so. Now that the Nabi 2 needs it, I would be loathe to brick it/mess it up to get this calibration issue. Even if I try on my s2, this Nabi seems a tad different for some reason.

That is a very rare issue. If you root it and have a problem with the touch screen it only effects recovery software once it's rooted and gapps installed you won't have to go back to recovery.

It is indeed a rare issue, if the script goes fine, you shouldn't have to do anything in recovery yourself anyway. Here is the gapps.zip that fixes the 'android upgrading' on every boot.

It's written for Ubuntu, but the commands are easy to adapt for Windows as well. You install adb and fastboot differently and you remove 'sudo' from the commands.
Does rooting the Nabi2 get rid of the Monarch UI? All I want to do is get GApps on it, but I want to keep the Monarch UI for the kids.

Do you really need Google Play?
Nabi 2 works great with Amazon App store (over 50,000 apps). Ex. Unless I installed Minecraft PE, my son would have 2 tablets for Christmas, his with no minecraft and mine with. In daddy mode you can get amazon and the installed apps are manageable in the add/remove to decide which apps to allow your child to see. PS: DO NOT add Amazon store to Nabi mode (unless your child is older, or unless your rich and don't mind your child maxing out a credit card on apps). Personally, I have jailbroken ipads for friends and rooted my last Motorola phone, but I wouldn't risk and consequences of screwing up your child's brand new tablet. You can go from Hero to Zero if you mess up.

Have you heard of someone screwing up their Nabi2 from rooting/gappps?

Personally I would go ahead and root/gapps so you can have Google Play, use AdAway, etc etc.
Just be prepared to lose a bit more battery life when you install the Amazon app store. I have heard about it taking up a bit more battery due to licence checks, running in the background and such.

For some reason I can't download anything from the play store all of a sudden. It worked fine the other day, but today it gives me an error when ever I try to download a new app or update an installed app.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for the WiFi problem?
Also - stupid question - is it technically feasible to install the Play store without rooting?
Is there a way to get Google Wallet working on Verizon Galaxy S4?
Does anyone know of any alternatives that are working?
I would definitely like to know because I am interested in using the paywave style payments

Are you rooted? If your not, then you cannot get Wallet to work. If you are, then see the thread on Wallet mentioned above.
Thanks for the direction, I will be giving this a try today.
UPDATE! Followed instructions, method A and it seems to have installed correctly, have not had chance to go to store to test. but install did pass and i was able to set up cards. Thank you both
Hi... I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 Tuesday night (I have the MDK, not ME7) and it went very smoothly, thanks to the guys who work hard and post their instructions in these forums... flawless, and much appreciated! Last night I followed the "Method A" instructions (w/TWRP recovery) for Google Wallet and it went smoothly.
(Google Wallet's setup on your phone will eventually say: "Setting up Google Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes..." Mine took about 20 minutes, so you just have to wait and try not to be worried that something didn't work right!)
Anyway, it worked like a charm. This morning I tested it at McDonald's and it worked well. At first I held my phone to the pad and nothing happened. So I pulled it away, and then tried once more and it immediately popped up Google Wallet, asked for my pin, told me to tap the phone one more time and BAZINGA!
Good luck everyone, I hope you have as much success as I've had with it. And a huge THANK YOU! to whomever posted the instructions and developed this method.
Not all of Google Play just the web client.
Since the last update it is horrible. I used to go on there just to update my apps but I can't do that anymore. When I click my apps it takes 2 minutes to load the page and then gives me a bunch of apps that I may or may not have installed at one point over the last 4-5 years on ever device I have owned.
Anyone else figure out a solution?
Wow the web client does suck. I never really use it much. It use to be better.

A review of this was covered on Android Police a week or so ago. seems like a lot of functionality disappeared from the web play store. i dont think there is currently a solution. I think i read somewhere that they had restored a certain function a few days after this update, so maybe previous options will be slowly rolling out. but who knows. if people complain enough, maybe google will revert it
