The app titled: "Scriptures (beta)" shows up in my G1's market, but does not in my Nexus' market.
Any ideas what's going on?
Did you do any of the following to your Nexus One:
1. Unlocked bootloader?
2. Enable root?
If so, "Scriptures (Beta)" is a *protected* Android application and will not show up.
If not, then it's a OS "support" version issue.

My new N1 is not unlocked/rooted, but my old G1 *is*. But it's the G1 that sees the app fine, and the new N1 does not.
Must be an OS support issue.
I downloaded the app directly from the author's website and it works fine.

Yup. If that's the case, the author needs to fix it and update it on Android Market.
It's annoying for us developers and the damn manifest and API target/limits when "new" stuff comes out... *Sigh*
Anyrate, good deal you got around it!

application compatibility
Your phone is listed as a 2.1 device in the market, and if the apps don't specify compatibility (they introduced a compatibility layer in 2.0.1) then they won't show up since they won't work anyway (well, they might, but the general assumption is that they won't)
I guess that explains why AppManager Pro isn't showing up for me on my N1. Annoying. I love that app.
This explains why, when people were talking about Nexus One Torch and I decided to see what it was, my G1 couldn't see it. Now I have a Nexus I can (and it's good )
There are some errors I think, because I want Bonsai Blast which I think I remember was demo'd by the Bonsai Blast google developer for either droid or 2.1. I think it was a demo for the new resolution, so I know it can't be that, and I don't think a google Dev would forget to update his extremely popular app.
Let the application owners know!
When the moto droid came out, I emailed a few developers and some even came out with an update the very next day!

can somebody e-mail the developer of Bonsai blast then please? or tell me his/her/their name(s)/email?
If we take the conservative assumption that it must be listed on the Google's own market place before it would work on Nexus, how many applications are available at the moment? Is there good statistics on that yet?
Perhaps most of them would work on Nexus one anyway? Love to hear from people who have tried using the applications written for the older OS version and see if they are generally still compatible. It's hard to imagine how a version upgrade would upset the older applications too much.

Really the only set-back is the resolution. All of the hardware has exponentially increased. All of Androids apps are written in java, which is pretty standard and should have no problem running on all android platforms.
The only time it should be disallowed would be if a game were to be written for the N1 specs (which cannot run on the G1), and therefore not shown in the market for the G1.
I suppose developers don't want their games to look too pixelated on the N1 until they update the resolutions. It's a waiting game now, since there are absolutely NO games available unless you want to play solitaire.
Or you could email the devs to death requesting an update...
Is there anyway to enable SPP Bluetooth profile on the Incredible . I need it so I can pair it with a Bluetooth gamepad I have that uses spp .

Any ideas ? Or is there another Bluetooth controller I could use on the incredible ?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I have this same need. I have a bluetooth GPS that uses SPP and I cannot connect it to my phone. Sucks!
From what I can tell HTC Desire also had its SPP stack disabled: android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307447/updating-the-buggy-bluetooth-stack-of-the-desire/
For the Desire, it looks like after it was rooted, some people were able to use the Nexus One stack.
I bought the gamepro app from the market which is supposed to act as a driver for the bgp100 on Android phones but it won't recognize my incredible when I try to pair it . I emailed the.guy who made the app to see if it supports the incredible and he said I need to follow the instructions under native api which I have yet to find on his site . I heard the bgp100 works on the nexus one so it should work on the incredible right ?

Seeing as our phone has Sense UI and the Nexus One does not, I would not presume that things that work on the Nexus One also work on the Incredible.
Very true . I hope we can root soon so maybe I can fix this
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Even the BGP 1000 doesnt work??! Man, looks like root is our only option then for a spp solution.
So, HTC support has not been able to confirm or deny SPP support. They mainly just tell me that they can only recommend Bluetooth voice devices. I tried contacting HTC USA HQ, but they never returned my voicemails. At this point I have given up on HTC explaining why SPP is not working on the HTC Incredible, and will probably just return the phone.
Nope the Bgp 100 does not work . Won't pair with the incredible . Love the phone otherwise . Is there anyone working on using a ps3 controller on the incredible or a wiimote.

Hi Everyone,
I called HTC HQ USA (425-679-5318) and left a message with one their Product Support Managers for North America. The Product Support manager responded to me by email, and I gave him the details of my BT problems He has promised to forward my issue on to the engineering team.
I have not heard back from engineering, but HTC Product Support has told me that Droid Incredible does support SPP.
They have not explained why SPP is not working on my particular device. They have not indicated if they will further investigating my SPP issue or ever provide a fix.
Long story short, if you want an official patch you may want to call HTC HQ, and file your request with them. Maybe additional reports of BT problems will encourage them to find a fix.
in google i/o. they demonstrated that can be installed on pc through a webpage. i just got my nexus one upgraded to 2.2, and wondering if the website is somewhere out there? If it exist, can someone give me a link?
thanks
what was demonstrated was not from FroYo, but from Gingerbread which will be out on Q4 2010.
Not sure it was demonstrated on either really, given the cloud to device messaging capabilities of Froyo, I can see it working.

Might be wrong, but I think they never say that in the keynote. They show it right after bug reporting, which supposedly is already a feature of Froyo. Maybe they just need to update the webpage?
He was correct. It's a feature for Gingerbread (2.3) update which will have to wait for. Same for the new music player that was shown as well, seems like he was running a 2.3 build but just showing the 2.2 features.

That's not the official way nor the way he mentioned though. There isn't an online market to browse.

Its not a feature for Gingerbread, no further changes would be needed to implement it now. In the keynote it was "beyond Froyo", they might well wait until Gingerbread to release the website, but there is not requirement to
This is a function of the marketplace application. It'll go through the cloud server that will be in place in 2.2.
It's not a gingerbread feature.
He says beyond froyo, it sounds to me like he is saying " lets see what else we have got for you"
NEVER ONCE does he mention gingerbread, and thats the kinda stuff that starts rumors

Let's cross our fingers so that the new music player comes with the final Froyo build.
The player from the IO keynote part 4:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8unC9bA4O8&feature=related#t=4m18s
1) OTA push intents are part of Froyo so all the features demoed are already possible [thanks for the links ScaredyCat]
2) The new Market website was presented as "beyond Froyo" [but not explicitly Gingerbread]
3) Simplify Media, the company that Google bought to make the music streaming software said in their blog on March 12 that they would support existing customers for 3 months. I'm guessing they are going to cut off support at the same time that they launch the new software which puts us right between Froyo and Gingerbread. I'm guessing that they will launch the new Market at the same time as streaming so if I had to bet, I would put my money on late June. That leaves plenty of development time and it leaves Google an extra punch to counter the inevitable iPhone 4 storm.
The market website and market application are pretty independent of the OS, so all those updates dont' have to rely on OS updates.
The simplify media dates would put us at...two weeks from now, around the same time froyo two is "officially" out.
for any one interested.
"We're still coming down from the euphoria of introduction, but Dutch site Tweakers.net claims that Google's not entirely passing the torch to Honeycomb just yet -- beforehand, there's apparently another Gingerbread build in the cards. Having played with some sort of cobbled-together Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with a 2.4 build, the site says that we can expect an incremental build that seems to feature miscellaneous stuff Google might not have had time to include in 2.3 -- random things like a new animation when deleting icons off the home screen, to much bigger features like visible video calling hooks. Unfortunately, said hooks didn't seem to be tied to any video calling-enabled Google Talk client, but considering how early this build seems to be, there's reason to believe they'll add it in by launch time. It's an open question when this is coming -- or to what devices -- and when you think about Eclair's progression from 2.0 to 2.1, it could happen sooner than you expect. "
Wow, it's like Deja Vu of last year
Eclair 2.1 - December 09
Eclair 2.1 - January 10
I could see the same thing happening:
Gingerbread 2.3 - December 10
Gingerbread 2.4 - January 11
I wonder what are the improvements though. I would predict the new Android music player or Gtalk Video calling
I think that is fake or something. It just doesn't add up. Sony has always been ages behind everyone else when it comes to android.... And wouldn't we be seeing 2.4 on nexus s before sony could even sniff the code for it?

sony indeed does that.
but i think sony is trying to fix that,with the upcoming devices.
the psp phone now runs 2.3 instead of the 2.1(on first leaked photos)
and we all know the chart with web visited 2.4 devices.(supposed to be honeycomb rumor.though honeycomb is officially 3.0)

Question, i know you can edit the build.prop to say what ever version number you would like but would that carry over to usage stats like in that article?

sure. any website or server that tracks hits to their site can log the user agent info from each device. any rooted user can make their user agent and/or build.prop look like any device and platform it wants. to the outside world (server) it doesnt know the difference.
It's like I'm a ****ing psychic or something.

In that case, i say we all edit our build.prop to show version 5.0 and pay some websites a visit
As the title states. Does anyone know? I can't seem to find any information about that. Thank you in advance
It's hard to say, but it looks like Android TV is a big platform and Google will probably look to move it towards major retailers - but no official word yet.
