yes that'll do it +1

anyone notice its a bit tricky when trying to checkmark multiple messages to delete? a lot of the time it'll register a hit to open the message rather than checkmark

a good ol reboot did the trick dont know why i didnt think of that first lol

So since I am new the the N1, does my pre-installed Facebook app get the update or do I need to install the store version for it to apply?

check in the downloads section of the market it should say "update available" if you don't have the latest version

I did that...I have version 1.1.3, but the market is version 1.2...yet it does not say update available, in fact Facebook does not show up in my Downloads section because it was installed on my phone when I got it a week ago.

It's there. It was just posted a bit ago.

Think you have to have installed it from the market before it'll inform you about an update.

A step in the right direction.

Definitely.

Well it is not in my Downloads and I think I know the reason. I did not download the app. The app was pre-installed and not downloaded. So if I go into the market, into Downloads, there is no Facebook. I guess I have to install it from the market to get the update.
Makes me glad Google is taking apps out of the OS in the future.

Hmm... even though it came pre-installed, it still shows up in my Downloads. Applications like Google Voice and Google Maps, which were all pre-installed when I got my phone, all shows up in my Downloads. Weird.

that is weird. None of those are in my Downloads. I only have those apps I have installed. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

all we need now is for alerts to take us to the post instead of the web

[Q] Apps in Market missing?

Hi people,
I can't find some apps in Market.
Such as Traffic Rush and others.
I am in Hong Kong (non-paid country) but I do have a vodafone UK sim card.
so is this normal?
thanks!

It's because of Wildfires 320x240 (qVGA) Resolution.
You can try to download your Application manually (Traffic+Rush_1.3.apk i guess?) and see if it will run.
The exact answer why we can't see all applications in the market is also already around here in the forums somewhere.

I try install some app copy from a G3 friend, some report error when install, some installed but button can not display normal(part / all out of edge).
most of this is games.
more than half is OK.
more over, some app have a QVGA version. like UCWEB,a web browser.
screen is the weakness, just think it may save battery, make you feels better.

maybe we should just wait how things evolve when froyo update is here

Also guys,
Install Appbrain market place and Fast web install from the market.
Use it with Appbrain.com and you can install all applications on the phone(that are free on the market).

Appbrain does not fix the problem. It show all apps, but if they're not available in your standard Market app, you won't be able to download them!!!!
If have a Wildfire since last week. I bought it in France without any career and I use it with a Vodafone spain simcard.
When I was in France, with my spain career I was able to see/download almost all apps... But since I'm back to spain, a lots of apps disappeared from the market.

If you use the fast installer and install from the site it works fine for me.
I downloaded Mixzing this way.
Payed apps like I said are excluded because of Google Checkout.

I downloaded Fast Web Installer and it said it integrated well with AppBrain ... however it still can't download some apps i find in AppBrain. "Element not found"
or do i have to install through appbrain website?!
got it to work ... install through website ... great find!!!

Is the Wildfire rootable yet?
If so, you can install a patched version of the Marketplace app that'll show all the apps that normally get hidden.
This works fine on my QVGA X10mini
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742608
(FYI, App developers have to specifically say what screen sizes their apps support. QVGA wasn't available in Android 1.5 or earlier, so old apps that haven't been updated won't show up. Likewise lazy authors won't think to test on other screensizes. We need to make sure authors know that there are lots of QVGA devices out there and we want to use their apps!)

does it work only on rooted?
and will the app run normally?
thanks for the help!

I've been using appbrain to get the apps that don't appear in the market and I've found it works really well. All the ones I've downloaded so far have fit the screen perfectly as well, I don't see any reason why they couldn't be made available on the market

I've only tried on a rooted device (since I removed the original vending.apk and replaced it with the patched one)
If you follow my link through to the original HTC Tattoo thread, you'll find the links for the patched apk's so you can try installing it normally and see what happens

[APP] New Market

Hi,
I've just installed the new Android Market.
I know that's not a big deal, but it's cool.
1 - Access via phone this link
2 - Install app
If anything goes wrong, access App Manager and uninstall updates.
Ps: Always good do a nand backup before.
Source: Droid-Life
Sorry my english.

Won't you get a notification for upgrading the Android Market once you access it? You still need to manually upgrade it? :|

As far as I know this update will be release only in a few weeks.

do I need to be rooted to install this apps?

if this is the same app that was on pocketnow and androidcentral, then no. its just a normal .apk that updates the market that is currently on the phone, much like it when when the update hits.
I am still unsure as to how the notification will be affected if this update has already been installed. hopefully it wont have to reinstall the same thing again or anything like that.
either way, i have it and it look "meh". better than the original, but still very green and complicated. I dont want to have to click a "more" tab just to read the description of an app.
**FLAME BAIT**
iPod app store is much easier to navigate and install apps with. this app store is much more flashy with its carousel of apps and whatnot, but i havent used that thing once.

New Market

I don't see much in forums on new market. Any one running the new market on 1.2 with 4.6.16? Which version are you running. Any issues? Thx
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App

I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.

mine auto updated last night.

Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.

New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version

Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Im not sure thats as much a "problem." it looks like google is blocking apps going forward on devices they don't deam the app compatible on.

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.

I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)

That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....

Play To App removed from Marketplace?

Hello,
the title says it all.
I cannot find this app on the marketplace anymore. The other LG apps are still there.
German Phone/WLID/Settings.

It's called SmartShare now.

Well not really, the last post made by a Mango user simply states that he can't find the app in the marketplace anymore either. So has it been removed?

Yep, looks like it's gone

Well I still have it on my phone but its sad to see it removed either way. This app was the only reason why I bought the LG WP device.

Can you exemplify how it helps you ? You need to have devices that support that feature right ?

Maybe the App was removed because the Play To App function will be integrated into Mango's "Settings" just the way the HTC has integrated some Apps into "Settings" too.
Just guessing here

PlayTo/SmartShare not available even in Official Mango RTM
I just updated my phone to the official Mango Update, the app didn't appeared and I even did reset my phone hoping to find it again with the preinstalled apps, but it didn't appeared. My only hope would be reverting back to NoDo, but it's weird since PlayTo was a killer feature to me.

Well I also upgraded to Mango now.
The app is still not in the marketplace nor did I receive an update notification. However, I also did not receive update notifications for other apps (such as ScanSearch from LG), but I could still update ScanSearch by opening its page in the Marketplace.
SmartShare has been updated for Mango so I would really be surprised if they did not list in the marketplace sometime soon.
Anyway, I was able to access the app again using this link on the phone:
zune://navigate/?appid=0871a857-f9ae-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e
EDIT: Also there are new features. You can now select media servers as the source (media shared from e.g. your PC) and more devices (Roku Soundbridge) are now supported for playback.

I had open market phone, so to get Mango I needed to downgrade it to version 4008 with better firmware and then upgrade to Mango. Play application is somehow default, and every step of update I was visible. At the end when Mango was installed, markeplace asked if I wanted to upgrade it, I agree, and during update it shows that application name was changed to SmartShare. After upgrade, application seems to start, but I had no time to test it. The strangest thing is that I cannot find this application in Marketplace.

Well the App is back in the marketplace for me although it's name is missing.

I really wished that they added the ability to stream from your computer to your phone. As of now I cannot seem to do that, it is kind of misleading to have a source and target but only allow you to have your phone as a source. If you select anything other that your phone it will not allow you to select your phone as a target but rather your computer essentially creating a remote...
