I know on some devices if it was rooted Google Play Movies did not work...you would get an error message. The same happens with HTC Watch. So can someone, that's rooted confirm that this is still the case?
I know it's an app in the Play Store I used awhile back called OTA Rootkeeper, that can temporary un-root a device with a click of a button. Then re-root it again. But I'm not sure if that works on the HTC One...
HTC Watch doesn't work for me. It always pops up a message, "Unable to download license." Funny, it lets you spend all your money buying stuff, but then doesn't let you play it. LOL.

Yeah..that's because you're rooted...I may go ahead and unlock mine and see if the OTA Rootkeeper app works.

Try renaming your superuser apk to something other than superuser or su. Works for some drm apps.

I was wondering if the OTA update that the phone prompts you to take when you launch the HTC Watch program is the same OTA that the devs are saying stay away from? Wanted to check out the 3D movie but don't want to screw up my chances of early root by doing it. I'm still on the original H_Boot that the phone shipped with & declined all attempts the phone has made to update itself.

Keep declining unless a 3D movie means more than root to you.

Or buy the dock, root, then take it back. There is no restocking fees for returned accessories at corporate stores.

or go to a sprint store and use the hd station display to root your phone. I did it after someone else in another post made a tinyurl to download the appropriate file. It's really simple. Can't wait to use my ps3 controllers! Hope games like shadowgun come with the capability built in but i doubt it.
It just hangs on mine with the Sixaxis compatibility checker (yes I'm rooted). Are you on MR3 ?

Dock-less root now possible
Has anyone got this to work on our phones yet?
I am rooted. I can get the controller to pair, and I can get the controller to dump the mapped keys into text boxes, but not in any emulator.
The stranger part is that I can map the keys in Gameboid, Snesoid, and PSX4Droid using the controller itself (so I know the emulator is reading it) but once I go to the game I get 0 response from the controller.
Just kidding. Had to enable bluetooth controllers in other settings. Confirmed working 100%

Had it working mint for the past few weeks
Just had a system update (45.2.7) and now it doesn't
When I try to start it, now it says "permission denied"
If I stop and start it, it says "ps3 remote wants to pair, please initiate using phone"
when I try to sync from my phones bluetooth settings it asks for a pin and then times out
gonna try uninstalling and going through the setup procedure again when I have time, just wondering if anyone else had this problem
ETA- just checked out the update thread, turns out I lost root, meh
Did you reroot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Not yet, I have tuesday off so I'll mess around with it then and post what I needed to do to get it working again
Hopefully it's just a re-root
Eta- just needed to root it again, works fine
to get root again will take all of about 4 mins, but if you erased your settings then youll have to do all that work again. but im glad to find out this phone has a nice enough bt stack to work with it. anyone try playing minecraft with it?
can anybody tell me which emulators support the ps3 controller
Is there any possibility that we will have a 100% aosp rom for the photon even if it takes a while? And is the photon supported by the amazon app store? What is new about the ota I received today I didn't install it because I read people were having problems with it. What are some cool games I could play that take advantage of the tegra 2 chip
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
We'll get pure aosp eventually. Yes Amazon appstore its compatible. And most OTA errors are either user or hardware related.

1) AOSP should happen sooner or later. From what I hear CM7 is pretty close for the Atrix.
2) Not sure I understand the question about the Amazon app store. It works just like the regular market on the Photon.
3) The new OTA fixes the mute call problem and various other minor bug fixes.
4) Go get the Nvidia Tegra Zone app from the market. Has list of Tegra optimized games.
Ok good on everything you said I'm just not sure about taking the ota will it block me from being able to root
Edit....
When I try and login on the amazon app store it won't let me keeps giving me and error

Might have to uninstall and re-install the app. No reason why it should not be working. I have the update and everything works same as it did.
The OTA will remove root but you can root again afterwards.
Hi All,
I'm not looking for cracked apps.
I have downloaded BlackMart and installed a cracked app, however it never gets updated, and i would like to buy it now. When i go to market it says its paid and just the install button is there. I tried to clear market data/cache, tried to clear the services data did a clear data/devlik cache after this, rebooted and it still says paid. I also removed my account from the accounts database restarted and setup the Google account again. go to market and its still showing it as i paid for it.
anyone have any suggestions.
Try creating a new Google account and attach it to the market

Use titanium back up to removed your cracked version. Then it should show up as not installed then buy.

this did not work. I tried to force attach to market, then wipe data and uninstall.
restarted and checked market, still said purchased.
I then tried to remove from market, wipe data, and restart and nothing!
I also have that issue where your market apps don't show up under "my apps" do you think that this part of the issue?
because when i login to market on the PC and go to my apps, I see apps on there that say they are installed, and they really arnt on my phone any more.
Suggestions?
You cannot simply uninstall because somehow the market thinks you purchased it as it attached itself to your google account, correct?
I would do as suggested and just use a different google account to purchase it. Of course you will then have problems updating it when you switch to the google account that syncs all your other data.
Maybe email the dev and explain you screwed up and wanna pay them $ if they know how to fix it?

Im having the same problem.. want buy swiftkey but can't get the option to buy in market... it say that i already purchase it.
Same issue
Hi,
I am having the same issue.
I have tried the cracked versions of the apps and now I genuinely want to buy them but I cannot.
I'd never feel comfortable using a cracked app on my phone. I don't know if anything malicious can be done to them (cracked apps) that might harm my device, but the prices on most apps are so low, I'd rather not risk it.
Besides, after having been a member here for a while and reading the work that goes into development, it just doesn't seem right to steal the work.
My take, spend the 2-5 bucks, reward the dev effort, have the security of knowing your app is genuine.

Ill have to disagree. I have tried free apps and they were so bad I would so kick myself if I had paid for it. There should be a requirement that there has to be a free app and a paid. No paid only apps should be be allowed. Free with dumbed down features until you buy a key is the way to go.

Man, the point here is that we want TO BUY the paid app... we arent asking for crack or something else, but some way to fix inconsistence in market to do the right thing

No solution, I am thinking it has to do with my market being broken, (I cant see my apps) however if you do not have this issue then there goes my theory
So I sbf'd today and went to newest 2.3.5 leak and installed eclipse! Living it. And I got my apps back!!! I did not have them earlier today so I really don't know how they came back but I'm still having the issue with the cracked app. :-(

I solved the problem of empty list uninstaling the blackmart... but that dont have any relation with not being able to buy some apps
If you use a root explorer/file manager and go into system/apps you should be able to delete the apk file from there at the source. If that doesn't work its got to be a market issue. Good luck
I had same problem, and got it to work downgrading market version
Like some guy sugested me in this topic: forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=936431#p936431
Here is a thought: pay for your apps? How much was this 'cracked' app you installed? 99 cents? 5 dollars? If you cannot afford that, then cancel your cell contract and save some money because you obviously need it.
Every app has a refund period after purchase, and almost all apps have a free version you can try out.
Even if you get stuck with an app you don't like, you spent what, a dollar? A few dollars? Uninstall it and wait for improvements, you already own the app. Cracked apps and warez are for pathetic losers who wanna be cool or are not man enough to pay for what they want. Support your devs.
I can't believe this thread is even here.
Will rooting break my ability to rent or play movies from the Google Play store. Also, will it break Google Wallet?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

The reason I ask is that when I rooted my Epic 4g the Play store would not let me rent movies because it detected my phone was rooted.
If that is not the case anymore, awesome.
Actually if your rooted,you can't use HTC watch from the last time I tried,rooting will give you complete access to the system,but that doesn't mean that your HTC/google services can't tell without a modified version that doesn't look for root.
also you can't use google play videos,however I have found a missed google video app somewhere on this forum before that is hacked to work with rooted devices. But I'm pretty sure HTC watch is done with when your rooted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I would like to know also

Know HTC watch is done with since no one really cares to mod it. Use up your free rentals if u have em before u root. What I did anyways.
And y even bother paying google for their overpriced movies? Half the time it stops playing right in the middle or doesn't work at all. Then takes 3 months to get a refund after complaining everyday for that 3 month period.
Netflix or torrents are so much better, and cheaper.
Never used HTC watch so I don't care about that. What about Google wallet, will it still work?
