just got a g1 but there's no amazon app installed. I thought g1's came with this?
should be right in the program menu.
did you buy the g1 from T-mobile? have yu ever seen the amazon app? have you upgraded your phone (what rc## are you using?)
i havent heard of any body experiencing this problem
Hi, I bought bthe phone from tmobile shop in derby uk, and its on rc8 firmware.
The amazon app has never been on my phone which really frustrates me.
How do I get the app for my phhone. I've searched android market but haven't found it.
Anyone help?
Thanks
At first I though maybe it was a dev phone - because those don't have Amazon.
Who buys music anymore anyways?
rodd - have you tried calling T-Mobile?
Yes i have and feel a bit fobbed off. They just said go in to help centre on Android market and search it there. I should be able to find the app to download and install.
I've tried that but the amazon app is nowhere to be found.
Really puzzled by this.
Can anyone confirm that UK G1's DO have the amazon app and it's not USA only at the mo?
thanks
Ok, been over to the Tmobile forums and as i understand the Amazon app is not yet available for the UK market. Maybe in the next update then?
Ah... well that makes sense now. Thanks for the update.
I got the .apk
i have the .apk file for the amazon mp3, would you like to try it out? its from a US handset. PM me if you want it

Anybody else noticed this? I have an unmodified Hero I got straight from Orange and the Market seems to be missing a lot of paid applications, the ones that use copy protection.

Can you give specific examples? Thus far, I've had no issues with paid apps with my Hero - had several on my G1 that I had to download again to my new phone.

Searching the Market for the apps mentioned on the earlier link, I can confirm that I can see some, but not all of them, an a T-Mobile G2.
I also noticed that I hadn't downloaded "DocumentsToGo" back onto my G1 (thought I had!) and when I tried it, I got the "Download Unsuccessful" message.
Regards,
Dave
I'm also missing apps on my T-Mobile G2. Can anyone else out there see the "Jack FM Live" app?
Nope I can't see that app.
The app I am missing is Battle for Mars. I have done the rounds ringing Orange and HTC to try and sort this out. Orange were fairly useless but finally just referred me over to HTC. HTC tried to claim there were different apps for different phones, but the example I gave them was Battle for Mars Lite was available, the paid for version was not available. They are meant to be ringing me back in 3-5 working days !?!! I will try and keep this thread posted. If anyone else has some news or can hassle Orange/HTC as well, I think that can only be a good thing and might push someone into sorting this mess out.
I can't find taskiller full - the free version is there but I want the one which has the full exclusion list. I've been in touch with the developer and he can see it in the market in France, although he thought that it may be due to waiting for google to review his account.
Guess it may actually be a similar problem to this. It's really frustrating because I would love to pay for the full version!
I've just got an unlocked hero that im using on o2. I can see the apps that others cannot, so maybe it's a network problem or related to the 'tinkering' networks like to do to phones before sending them.

That is really annoying - I can only see the free version using wireless or mobile data (standard T-Mobile G2 Touch, no root, not unlocked etc.). I'll let the developer know, it's really unfair that people who want to buy his app can't.
I can now see Taskiller full and Bluex which i havn't been able to see since i bought my hero, i have the Orange version of the phone.
checked earlier in the day and couldn't see taskiller full. I can now... I assume some back-end setting's been changed (whether it was a taskiller-full-specific thing the author did, or something google did centrally, I don't know)
Still can't see it on T-Mobile!

Same problems here, its really annoying. I really want the Bloo facebook app. The new 1.3 version is meant to be good .
Also on the topic of not being able to get stuff on this "open source OS".. WHERE is amazon mp3 uk . Can't take much for amazon/google to just shift the same program to access the uk mp3 store lol.
can confirm bloo 1.3a showing up for me(orange)
the guy who did http://www.cyrket.com/ mentioned apps appeared and disappeared due to sdk version checking. while i assume that isn't the issue here, maybe it's the same kind of thing? the hero's listed capabilities and the app's metadata are incompatible?
(tho why that would change just because it's sold by orange instead of t-mobile I don't know)
My Top Paid apps are missing in my android market, anyone got this or any idea why this could be happening?

are you having troubles with it too?
No, since I'm new to this market. But, I saw somewhere that apps not working (or just updated to work on the mkt) w/2.1 are not showing up for the N1...
happened to me when i first rooted my phone. note that i rooted it before i ever even put in my sim card, but i think it had to do with that.
fixed it by wiping/factory resetting with my sim card in.
How does it work in Nexus market place? If you've already paid for an application, and have uninstall it say temporarily, will you be charged again when you re-download it?
If you bought it from a different market place, how will it know that you're already a paying customer in Nexus market place?
Doesn't matter.. if you've bought an app you can download it again for free. Apps I paid for a year ago on my G1 show up.
Tony, thanks for your reply. Good to hear that info on ownership is shared across the various markets.
if you mean the top paid apps tab in the marketplace app i was missing that also. i had started using the phone without a sim in it, so i wiped everything and restarted with sim in it right away and the top paid tab was back

Paid apps tab
I had the paid app tab before. Today I just used the phone without a sim for the first time then put the sim back and now the paid app tab is not there anymore. Anyone having the same issue?
Opened up the Readers Hub today, just to check if it was working yet, and was welcomed by two little green 'install' buttons on both the magazines and newspapers option. These buttons open up a Samsung modified app installer, and now...it's all working.
This is in Switzerland, running an unbranded unlocked 16GB SGT on Swisscom Liberty Grande contract.
EDIT: Ok, my excitement is growing less by the minute. While it works nicely, it seems there's no free content, neither in Newspapers nor in Zinio. Even the free papers that you can pick up at every bus stop around here (20Minuten) want to charge you. Not interested in paying for news when I can just use the the browser to read the online version for free.
EDIT 2: Right, it seems when you go through the Zinio website there's an option to search for free issues, and there's quite a few good ones there. No such option on PressDisplay however.
hm, still waitin...buy the way tnx for report
Just checked mine here in the UK and was greeted with the install buttons
Thanks for the heads up.

Just showed up for me today in Australia too.
Installed and bought a few issues through Zinio already.
Running well so far except for one of my subscriptions having problems downloading.
Got to laugh, daily star which costs around 35 pence or maybe less for a hard copy is costing 99 pence per issue. Not tempted to go digital at that price, just going to do the usual and fire up the car on a morning and buy it

Not working in the US t-mobile version. Bummer. Looking forward to zinio.

Zinio is great value, as a UK magazine reader being able to subscribe to US versions of magazines for around $10 for a years subscription is superb value to me! (They look great on my iPad, hoping they look just as good on my RoadWarrior SGT!)
With PressReader, if you have an online subscription to The Times (about £9 a month) you can download the Daily and Sunday editions (+All the extra magazines), perfect for my commute!
The readers hub was a huge deciding factor for me in buying a SGT, Im looking forward to trying it out once I get home today!
i have the tmobile tab and i don't even see the readers hub app. How can I get it?
too bad zinio is mostly usless for non-english ppl. I don't get why we get kobo and zinio but no media hub in europe.

Also in the UK. Works fine
PS: free samples can be added to your Zinio account via the web interface. Then use the app to read the content.
Note: By the way, my Galaxy Tab is flashed with the latest P1000XWJK1 firmware (November 2010). I don't think this would make a difference, as the Samsung App Market functions normally (I see 2 apps in there).
WTH? So I just lost access to my FHM subscription on the galaxy tab. Even the issue that I had downloaded earlier today had magically vanished.
Can't even see similar magazines through the tab any more.
I hope this is isn't some kind of iPad compatibility issue... What with it being two competing devices with different philosophical views on censorship.
can someone post the zinio apk. in my hub, i installed the kobo one
Here in Finland in Tab there is Readers hub with PressDisplay, Kobo and Zinio.
PressDisplay gave some freebies.
In Kobo there is about 200 free books to choose.
Zinio, no freebies.
About PressDisplay; the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat is missing, only 11 smaller ones available. And yes, those free trainstation-takeaway-b****-publications cost also 0,99€ -no thanks.
First I was exited, but not any more. Newsroom is still my killer app.
Greediness kills a lot good ideas.
PressDisplay and Zinio now online in the Philippines. Finally!!!!

You will need the .apk files for those programs.
If the generous international users can dump their .apk files for us Americans, it would be greatly appreaciated. Sharing is caring.

Finally picked up the Rogers Branded Xperia Arc this morning. Unlocked it through the htccode.com folks.
In the box, there's the requisite charger and cable, HDMI cable and a set of headphones. It also includes a 16GB microSD card. BTW, the phone is running v181 of the software.
Overall, the phone is pretty unique. It feels quite light for its size and the curve in the back doesn't feel too weird. The screen looks quite sharp, but I haven't had a chance to play around with it that much! BTW, looks like the SE skin isn't too intrusive (unlike Motoblur) but I don't think it's as good as HTC Sense. BTW, there is the option to enable WiFi hotspot (a key requirement for me)!
I've attached some pics below.
Got it rooted with Gingerbreak! Installed the apk on the SD card, installed it and then ran Gingerbreak with no issues.
Anyone other Canadians with Arcs on this forum?
Got mine this morning as well! Was first one in the store when it opened Device is amazing!
Ya, the phone is great. So glad the root came out right before we got the phone. Lol.
Aside from being able to use the phone on other networks, what benefit does the unlock give?

Absolutely no benefit other than the fact that you can use it on other networks.
Got mine today, fully rooted now and customized. the only problem i have is the RAM is always filled with bloat making my battery die fast

Anyone going to install a stock ROM instead of the one that comes with the Rogers version to get rid of the bloatware?
I got rid of the bloatware using Titanium Backup. I would like to get rid of the Rogers boot logo, though.
Sent from my LT15a using XDA App
If you're rooted, you can always use Titanium Backup to strip out some or all of the bloatware.
Not a perfect solution, obviously but it's better than nothing.
edit: I really need to start refreshing pages before using the quick-reply box...
Now that Rogers has released the LT15a, any word or info as to whether we can buy it online somewhere and have it shipped to the USA?

Yes, there are a few online sellers for the Arc. SN Traders Online (I'm not endorsing them) is selling it for close to US$800 - check out the howardforums marketplace for more online sellers.

You need to Flash a generic ROM to get rid of bootscreen.
I'm new to Andriod "Smartphone" as you can tell from how many post I have.
So, I bought out the phone.
There are things I need to remove "bloatwares" from Rogers and other apps.
So, rooting the phone gives you access to superuser and I see that apps can be removed.
Here are some of my replies with questions.

Yes, you should be able to. Note that doing this may remove the root privileges and you may need to re-root.

Anyone know if bestbuy or futureshop sell the protective screen for this phone..or any other store would? Not online order.
Didn't it come with one pre-applied?
@Step666 It did but it's one of those factory temporary plastic cover that has a tab. Our package is not the same with EU release extra contents.
I feel like there should be a simple solution to this but I don't know. I found today, in the car, then when I tried to play Angry Birds Seasons and Illusia that I was getting a network error. I've got Illusia on my phone and it works fine when I don't even have 3G signal. I searched and didn't find an answer to this.

LOL.. Perfect English.. BTW
Try to avoid the Amazon App store. The Amazon DRM checks every time you start the app to make sure you are allowed to use it. No network = no application.
Not ALL apps from Amazon, but ANY app from amazon.... I guess it's up to the developer to choose to include the Amazon DRM... But there is no way to know if an app has this until you paid for / downloaded it and find out it does not work.
I dont care if it's cheaper.. Amazon is not an option for me.
I got them from the Android Market.
