So I downloaded some windows updates a few minutes ago and when my computer rebooted the first thing I did was try to get on XDA. God knows if I couldn't get here I would need to go to counseling or something instead.
But instead of the XDA page opening I got the attached image(to lazy and useless to put on a host)....it was funny and I think this should come up for every Noob that comes here just to scare them away...we should at least figure out if we can get it to pop up on the 2.1 RUU thread or something.

NO I LOVE MY IE!!!
LOL
I am just really way to lazy to install anything else. I have FireFox, but I format my computer so often its hard to keep up with what needs to be reinstalled.
I had an NLite installer for XP that just put everything back but haven't made one for 7 yet. So I really just install Office, CS4, Visual Studio, SQL, NetBeans, Eclipse and the Android SDK and run with it

Why do you reformat so much?? Or are you just a glutton for punishment??
if they would enable aero peek for all tabs instead of only open tabs in chrome or firefox, I would gladly use one. I keep them on here and check for updates in case one does, but so far no luck.

Greasemonkey was great when I was playing Mafia Wars.
IE Tab is great when you have to run IE (which I sometimes do at work).

I put my first app on the market. For some reason, Google Market doesn't let you download your own app. wth?
I'm asking that someone download it (or try to) to make sure it works. There were a few steps to do to get the app ready for the market and I want to make sure I didn't mess anything up (and that people can dl it!)
It's called "Prefix Code Finder" and has a blue telephone icon and the author is "smartapps".
It's listed at $1.00...all I ask is you to dl it for 5 minutes, test it and then you can return it.
And another weird thing happened after I published it; I can no longer get it on my phone. I load it, it says "Success" and I can see it in Manage Applications, but the icon to run is not to be found!! I turned debugging back on, tried to load it by running it from Eclipse and installing with adb. I tired both apk's; the publishable version and the one that I changed the debug to TRUE. WEIRD.
Please don't consider this spam and I really didn't want to post this, but I have no way to check to see if this is working.
Thanks
You are allowed to download your own app, trust me on that one, ive done it many times
Hmmm...I'll try again, but..getting a "Server error has occurred" still
Well, I can't wait. Only thing I can think of was that I imported this project vs. "making it from scratch". I'm just going to make a new app and copy all the files in...something got out of synch somehow...
Well, I redid the ENTIRE project from scratch, exported my apk and installed to market.
I still get a SERVER ERROR...can anyone please try to download this.....just see if you can pull it down, do a search or two and return it.
It's now called "Prefix Finder" has a red phone icon and the author is still "smartapps"
I just really need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong with the app preparation or if it's Google Market.
Thank you so much
Only thing I can think of is that I don't have my bank account info in there yet; maybe that's causing the error...i just need another "body" to test it LOL

It is moist likely your app there has been a lot of people getting this server error
Edit: I just downloaded app works perfect
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll make sure you get a free copy if you want it LOL
What sucks to me is making those images of the app; I'm a programmer, not a graphics artist. And since my data is on a hosted server, I can't get a picture of the output from the emulator. I would have to "hard code" some data in and then do the screen capture.
Oh well, off to get my next app up...similar to this one, but it's a Zip Code Finder.
Then I've got to figure out what to code next...
It be pretty cool if you could put looking for the area codes and zoos by city and state
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
So, a reverse lookup? I have considered that.
I'll have to look at the data first. Major cities could have a lot of area codes and prefixes. Not worried about the speed pulling from the hosted database, it's pretty fast; I'm just worried about a crapload of data to scroll through
But hey, thanks, I will probably do it as version 1.1 if I'm not getting 100 areacodes and prefixes for one city.
Yeah, not going to work. I just queried Columbus, OH and got 427 rows back! That would be a lot of scrolling if I did that many lines. I could send it back as "201, 202, 203, 215, 216, 217....", but that just might look ugly LOL
Yeah way top Mick Lol
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
Got the other app published...I still don't know why I can't install either of them...freakn' server error.
Don't know if you've tried this. Guessing you probably have, but I had got that error a few times before and I fixed by doing a reboot of the phone. Just an idea.
Didn't think about that...thanks!
I just ended-up running adb install
Well, I'm up and running and making "some" sales.
Moved on to licensing my apps (new and old). Once I get that ironed-out, I can start back with development, because we ALL know that's where the real fun is. LOL
Sucks being a programmer...no problems writing code, just not creative enough to come up with ideas that aren't out there yet...still in search of that "must have" app that sells 50,000 copies (yeah, I know...good luck ROFL)

but thanks for the head up
EDIT: is it even ready yet?? will it let you sign in...cuz it wont let me
Ikr lol i love it
And yeah signing in a problem too it says invalid something
It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.
Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.
This is nice!
good find had no trouble signing in.
Very exciting!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.
Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Hmm... I just got back to my pc and tried to install. I am on Flagship and it didnt give me a notification, and its not showing under My Apps.... maybe the developers need to modify the build.prop?

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.
Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.
I've just installed the new facebook update, but for some reason it crashed and i had to re-install it, then i lost my quick link for the facebook icon. Now the quick link wont let me put anything in its place. I select the program i want but it just returns to the home screen with just a blank quick link icon. Seriously I just want an easy life.

Funny you say that, this phone is really tough, i have literally thrown it across the room in anger at this irritating glitch and no way of fixing it.
This might sound like a really dumb question, but did you try to reboot your phone after you installed it? If so, try uninstalling facebook, reboot, and then download/install again.
