No access to some apps in app market - Streak 5 General

Has anyone else found that some of the apps were/are not accessible from the market.
Pre 2.1 it was pandora, after 2.1 its myplayer amongst others.
I'm guessing dell haas blocked these some how?
Any one got any info on it?

Also noticed a paid app called national rail is missing from my download list and the market.

Found it out.....
Apparently the new rom needs to be registered with google for it to have full access. Well at least that what the htc replied in a forum reply in the link below. Sounds like a way that the providers can limit or access to bandwidth hungry apps

I use the actual web page.....well I try to until it changes back to the facebook touch...grrrrr
It makes sense as the screen is so big

Yes Facebook is not the best. I have no problems uploading images, but the no landscape mode for the home screen, as well as not being able to click youtube links really annoys me.
I think facebook just needs to buckledown on this. With android being the most sold phone os in the past 6 months... yeah facebook lets update that app, becasuse right now it sucks.

Hi
Try the app 'bff photo' for uploading pictures & video works very well. Videos cant be uploaded from the web page using phone. But as fazzibear said the web site is best as screen is big enough.

I agree! Facebook app is not very good.
Android and Facebook is huge... no excuse for the sucky app.

Phone backup

Ok so the OTA 2.2 should be around the month.
I was just wondering is there an android app or program for the pc to back up the current state of my phone such as all apps and preferences so i dont have to start from scratch after the update?

When I tried to update to the unofficial 2.2 (and failed ) titanium backup did the trick. Reloaded all apps with settings, just had to rebuild my screen layouts. Problem is most of the backup programs require root. Accordin to streaksmart.com the "dell insider" was not able to root the official build. Not to say the smart people on these forums wont have that figured out in no time after its released: )

Sorry. Didnt read completely. Don't know of one for the PC...

Dell have said that they will tell you how to back up all your data before applying the update so maybe they have a program they are sending with the update
Theres a free dell backup app on the market now specifically for the streak so problem solved

Network and App statistics

Hey all, I've been trying to get an app that tracks what app uses how much data in the background. So far no luck, none of the apps can get the data from my streak. I'm on a O2 locked streak running DJSteves 1.9.0. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

i hd also tried lots apps ........but none support this feature....
if u concern abt ur data usage restriction .....try software juice defender which can used to restrict data access when phone is ideal...
I use 3g watchdog pro from the market to monitor usage although it can't monitor specific apps on the streak.
I use apndroid, also from the market to turn data off and on, it has a widget for use in your launcher.

Thanks for the replies, its not that I'm concerned with with my data usage, I would just like to know what apps use how much data and when. I'll have to email more app devs and see if I can get someone to sort this. There are apps that do this, just not with the streak so far.

[Q] Google+ for Legend

Hi All
Does anyone got Google+ on your Legends? Since I don't see it at Android Market and wonder is it device or country/operator restriction...
I have it, and I've reinstalled it while in three different countries. Vietnam's, Japan's, and Canada's Android Markets all have it.
If you have root, use MarketEnabler (from the Market) to fake an American carrier and download the app.
Otherwise look in the General forums for an .apk. ;-)

I did not have any problems downloading it from the Market...
Here you go this apk for Google+.
Thanks everybody but I really wonder why on earth its restricted from the Market and who is the guy (in Google or operator) who suppose to click "magic button"?
It sounds absolutely ridiculous since I can use it through browser but not native Google app from Android phone.

I downloaded Google+ when I was in Singapore though. The Market in SG seems to carry this. Can't find it while I tried to search on the MY Market.
Cheerios.

Market

I was just checking the market for an app. When I found it, it displayed this...... this is the first time I've seen in the app makert saying an app is in compatible

Maybe its something new? I like the idea.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Maybe its part of the even newer market updates that just came out? I've never seen that either.

Can you check what version of market you have?
From homescreen: menu-> Manage Applications-> All Applications -> Market
I saw this the other day too, however there were two versions of the app. The free version displayed this message, the paid version did not.
i get that message on alot of apps that i KNOW will work on my phone and it even displayed that on an app i already had installed!! android is ****in up! id like to know howto fix this, its buggin the crap outta me!
p.s. my market version is 3.1.3
Its up to developers to mark which devices are compatible. Some developers only use one phone or a few so can only varify that those devices are compatible. Netflix lists the supported phones. Not all do sadly. I would contact the app developers.
